Chapter 525: Lao Gou’s Rage

Chapter 525: Lao Gou’s Rage

Jiu Shen opened his eyes and rose to his feet as he muttered. "The ten-year training in the Spirit World is finally over." 


He entered the Spirit World and stared at the final rankings. 


Ice - 3,147,461


Lu Sulan - 3,067,227


Yang Zenke - 2,998,625


Jiu Shen used his power as the Lord of the Spirit World to forcibly summon everyone in front of him. 


"Your ten-year training is over! And like I promised, the top one hundred will get a reward from me! You can claim your rewards from Ren Shuang later!" Jiu Shen announced as he looked at everyone with a calm gaze.


At the corner of his eyes, he spotted a little girl standing with her arms crossed. She had a smug look on her face as she stared back at Jiu Shen. 


Looking at her, Jiu Shen's lips twitched. 'This little brat..."


Jiu Shen opened the exit to the Spirit World and led everyone back to the cultivation hall. 


When they were back to the cultivation hall, Ice walked toward Jiu Shen and stood in front of him with a wide smile. Her dimples became visible as the smile on her face deepened. 


Jiu Shen chuckled when he saw her appearance and he couldn't help but rub her head gently. "Good job!" 


"Of course! Who do you think I am?" Ice bragged happily. 


Jiu Shen ignored her and turned his gaze towards Ren Shuang as he handed him a visual data. "Pass the rewards to these people. As for the others, give them some resources as well." 


Ren Shuang took the visual data and nodded his head. "Yes, Sect Master!" 


"Sect Master, the seven Heavenly God Rank savage beasts didn't intervene during the past ten years. Those guys must have sensed our presence, so they remained cautious until the end." Yin Long said with a helpless look. The ten-year training this time almost bored him to death. Luckily, the environment in the Spirit World was good for cultivation, so they didn't lose too much. 


"Good work, you three. You can also get something from Ren Shuang. Just tell him and he'll understand." Jiu Shen said as he patted Yin Long's shoulders. 


The eyes of Yin Long and the other two old men immediately lit up upon hearing his words. 


"Thank you, Sect Master!" They said eagerly. 


After dealing with the rewards for the training, Jiu Shen walked toward Theia. "Once everyone gets their rewards, tell them to begin their seclusion again!"


Theia nodded her head gently. "Alright."

Five years later, Celestial Emperor Lao Gou came back to the golden tower! The whole Celestial Paragon Tower immediately began preparing a huge celebration to welcome him!


"Welcome back, Your Majesty Celestial Emperor Lao Gou!" Valir, Telu, and everyone from the Celestial Paragon Tower kneeled when they spotted a golden figure descending from the sky. 


Tap.


It was a man who was about 2.5 meters tall. He was wearing a full set of golden armor that covered his entire body. The only exposed part of him was his pair of azure eyes that gleamed with intense ferocity. 


The man removed his golden armor and his face which was filled with brutal air was finally exposed! 


From his appearance, he looked like a middle-aged man in his mid-forties with slick short black hair. A diamond jade was embedded on his forehead emitting a dazzling radiance! 


This man was Celestial Emperor Lao Gou, the founder of the Celestial Paragon Tower! 


Everyone's eyes were filled with worship as they looked at this unrivaled expert! This was the man they revered the most! 


"Stand up, everyone!" Celestial Emperor Lao Gou smiled at everyone. His voice was ancient and full of authority. Just hearing his voice alone could make anyone unconsciously follow his every command! 


Telu and Valir led the Celestial Emperor inside the golden tower and brought him to the topmost floor. 


The celebration of the entire golden tower continued and everyone was in a joyous mood after seeing their idol! 


Meanwhile, on the topmost floor of the golden tower, Lao Gou stared at Valir and Telu. Both men wore somber expressions as they sat meekly opposite the Celestial Emperor. 


"What happened? Why are the two of you so glum?" Lao Gou asked indifferently. 


Valir and Telu glanced at each other. In the end, Telu cleared his throat and said in a shaking voice. "Father, it is about the wine store in Hard Rock City." 


This time, Lao Gou's expression turned serious as he waited for his son to continue. 


"Father, like what you told us. We observed Jian Wang and the wine store for the past few years. Nothing significant happened. However, when we asked people about the owner... They told us... They told us that the owner's name is... Jiu Shen."


Lao Gou's face darkened upon hearing the name from his son's mouth. He recalled a distant memory and the face of a youth with a handsome appearance and cold personality. 


Celestial Emperor Lao Gou's aura fluctuated intensely as he thought about the figure of that man. How could he forget him? It was the man who stole his wife's heart from him! 


'Jiu Shen... He has already died inside the God Sealing Tower a few million years ago! And that bitch Theia! After I placed her under house arrest, she actually committed suicide! That fucking adulterous pair!' Lao Gou's face turned red as his rage boiled. 


The faces of Valir and Telu took a drastic change when they saw the terrifying look of the Celestial Emperor. They didn't dare make a sound and they could only silently wait for him to calm down. 


Lao Gou glanced coldly at Telu and spoke with a frigid tone. "That man is already dead! And didn't you guys say that Jian Wang owns that store?! What's the meaning of this?!" 


Telu wiped the sweat on his face and replied immediately. "Father, we are also aware of this. We believe that Jian Wang is merely using someone as a figurehead for his wine store." 


Lao Gou waved his sleeves and snorted angrily. "Enough! This matter ends here!" 


Telu and Valir bowed their heads nervously and left. 


"Jian Wang, why are you using that man's name?" Lao Gou muttered with a dark look.
