Despite mourning their ancestor’s passing, the descendants of the twelve families still followed their wishes in burying them together. However, the martial world was in chaos some years later. Someone with immense might had borrowed the power of the stars and set up a formation to trigger the earth strata and caused an earthquake, destroying the Twelve Celestial Beings’ graves!


As for the remains of the Twelve Celestial Beings, they were scattered and ended up everywhere. What was said to be indestructible was, after all, not immortal.


People found out later on that despite the fact that their bodies were not absolutely indestructible, their bones were truly immortal. No matter which piece of the Celestial Beings’ bone, each one of them stored a portion of their power… Once their bones were triggered, their legacy could be replayed – even their complete cultivation method and base.


What was lacking was the way to trigger the Celestial Beings’ power.


As people tested and tried, they finally found a way – by implanting the bone of these celestial beings into someone’s body in place of the original bone.


As life and cultivation went by and gradual adaptation took place, one could naturally turn into an almighty being, reaching a certain stage as long as one got used to exuding the air of a celestial being and could accept the change within one’s self.


This was only the first step. Someone deciphered that having part of Celestial Beings’ bones could muster such strength. If all their bones could be gathered, then that certain Celestial Being’s complete legacy could be obtained – at least, the cultivation base level of that Celestial Being could be achieved.


The theory was extremely bold. It was complex and intricate, but it was undeniably possible. Plenty of people have tried it out, but all of them have encountered failure. There were rarely success stories. In the end, the whereabouts of these Celestial Beings’ bones were unknown… Even to this day, this old legend has disappeared for thousands of years…

Lei Dongtian could not help feeling a sense of superiority as he watched the looks of concentration everyone wore while listening to him. They had not a single clue about these things.
He continued,
The Bone of the Saber God I mentioned earlier was this; the bone of the Saber God among the Twelve Celestial Beings!


Not only did Venerable Lord Saber of the Four Seasons Tower possess a Bone of the Saber God, I believe Venerable Lord Snow, who was with him and could obviously control the snow, would most probably possess the Bone of the Snow God too!


No, Venerable Lord Snow must have the Bone of the Snow God. Otherwise, it can’t be explained how he could unleash fief with his bit of cultivation base. This has to be it.


If so, this must the genuine motive of the Four Seasons Tower; they have been quietly planning all of this.


For so many years, I wondered how many bones of the Celestial Beings have been successfully collected.


Also… I can already guess the plain reason the Four Seasons Tower is against me now.

Lei Dongtian snorted coldly and murmured,
How does the Four Seasons Tower know the secret of the Lei Family, that they possess the Bone of the Thunder God?


No wonder they wanted me to pass my family’s cultivation method right away… Hmph!

He sneered,
Fcking Four Seasons Tower. What a dream they have, truly wildly ambitious! Dream on!

He was suddenly filled with fury as he barked,
How dare the Four Seasons Tower be so bold and arrogant, coming right up at Lei Family’s throat? How courageous, seeking their own death!

Yun Yang was completely dumbfounded.
Obviously, he had never expected such a turn of events, being the mastermind of this plot himself.
Bone of the Twelve Celestial Beings?
Bone of the Thunder God?
Bone of the Saber God? Bone of the Snow God?
What?
The influx of information was too much for Yun Yang to take, his mind refusing to spin as rapidly.
Wha – what? Not even a novel would have such plot development!
What a plot twist! Or what a beat drop!
Yet Lei Dongtian had narrated everything so eloquently with confidence like everything was within his expectation and logic. It was as if things were running their matter of course. Instead, it made Yun Yang, the conspirator, feel bewildered and bleary.
He did not even explain most of the key points on the legend!
In spite of this, Yun Yang knew that Lei Dongtian would never spell every detail out for him regarding this important legend. After all, it was a big secret that involved the way to being a paramount god!
For Lei Dongtian to say so much, it was already evident that Yun Yang’s effort was not wasted. Moreover, it might be due to Lei Dongtian’s confidence of being able to squash him anytime as he was merely an ant in Lei Dongtian’s eyes.
Yun Yang still did not expect that this unintentional step would develop so well. It was a delightful surprise!
Of course, he could not express the joy right now; he was still facing Lei Dongtian.

Brother Lei, you… you need to watch your words.

Yun Yang said, moved,
This young brother feels incredibly proud that you’re telling me this and sharing such a big secret with me but I fear for you too… The walls have ears; if such confidentiality does not truly exist, it won’t be beneficial to Brother Lei.


I know this.
Lei Dongtian patted Yun Yang’s shoulder, touched and said,
I, Lei Dongtian, shall etch your sincerity in my heart!

Yun Yang nodded and then spoke with assumed justice,
I really didn’t know that the Four Seasons Tower harbors such an ulterior motive. It’s so wicked! What’s more, its plot is so widespread that even Brother Lei’s family that’s so secluded has been included… The scattering and unknown whereabouts of the Celestial Beings’ bones have been thousands of years long. I believe Brother Lei’s family has had the bone for a long time too; it can be considered as your family treasure. For the Four Seasons Tower to actually set their eyes on it, it’s crazy! Repulsive!

Lei Dongtian was furious as well as he said,
The Four Seasons Tower first kidnapped my fiancée, then openly prey on my family treasure – what trash they must be! Even if they were sliced and diced, the resentment in my heart can’t be assuaged! I must annihilate this absurd rubbish!

Yun Yang thought for a moment before he spoke again,
There’s something odd about this. How big was the secret of Brother Lei’s family treasure? Such information must be treated cautiously like treading on eggshells. Even the elders in the family might not know, I wonder how the Four Seasons Tower found out about it?

Lei Dongtian’s expression was dark; he answered coldly,
What’s there to ask? It must be those who wish ill upon my family… they must have been the ones who’ve leaked it! You’re right; there should also be traitors in my family itself. Otherwise, secrets don’t reveal themselves. All in all, this is a matter of great concern. I shall not give up easily.

Yun Yang looked worried as he said,
Brother Lei is alone outside now with unaided strength. Everything should be done carefully. Since the Four Seasons Tower has such deliberation, they must have planned it for a long time. Brother Lei, I feel like… danger will come one after another. Any misstep will be an eternal regret. I think it’s better for Brother Lei to return to your family for a discussion on countermeasures before going on…


There is no need!
Lei Dongtian grunted and said with burning courage,
Today’s episode was because of my carelessness and my lack of caution. It will be impossible for people like Venerable Lord Snow to deal any damage to me in the future… Besides, it might be Lei Family’s chance despite the incessant danger! The critical situation might be a good opportunity!

A dark smile surfaced on Lei Dongtian’s face as he uttered faintly,
A hint tells the whole picture. The Four Seasons Tower definitely have more than one or two pieces of the Celestial Beings’ bones and far more than two of their people possesses them… Just from what we already know, Venerable Lord Saber and Snow already had Celestial Beings’ bones, so it’s only logical that the other three Venerable Lords have the same. The mastermind of the Four Seasons Tower, Mr. Nian, should also possess the bone and more than one or two of them. My recent investigation of the tower speaks of the long years the Four Seasons Tower has been in Tianxuan Continent and the multiple times the martial world was subdued by bloodshed. For the effortful years in running the tower, they must have an unimaginable amount of gems…


Why would they bathe the martial world in blood?
Lei Dongtiaan actually figured this out as he snorted again.
It must be for this too!

Yun Yang was baffled. Could this work as well?

If I could have all these…

Lei Dongtian took in a deep breath, apparently, he was thinking wildly again as his eyes radiated anger.
Then, I, Lei Dongtian, shall be the Lei Family’s greatest contributing figure for thousands of years! Even if the merits of all the ancestors were to be combined, they would be less than mine!


When my father named me, he mentioned of the thunder that shakes the nine heavens. He was able to foretell things! What truth. I must complete this feat alone, only then will I fit the name my father has given me!


Thunder that shakes the nine heavens!

Lei Dongtian chortled as he spoke.

However, this older brother will need to depend on Brother Yun’s assistance to be able to complete this. After that, I shall reward you handsomely!
Lei Dongtian said seriously.
The sincerity in his attitude seemed to be genuine, as Yun Yang could not sense even a tinge of pretense.

What is this that Brother Lei is talking about? We brothers don’t have to talk about depending each other!

Yun Yang patted his chest and said righteously,
Your matter is my matter too! This young brother shall give it my all and do the best I can! Even death could not stop me from helping my brother to complete this great feat and pen another legend!


Thank you!
Lei Dongtian could barely form words from how touched he was; he could only hold onto Yun Yang’s hand and shake it continuously.
