Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

"So that's the famous Floating Island of the Celestial Palace..." Xu Shan commented, looking at the majestic island in the air that was surrounded by a strange mist all around.

He had heard a lot about this place, especially since he was actively trying to find information about this place.

As per the information he received, the mysterious fog was a result of an ancient protective formation that existed on the Celestial Island even before the establishment of the Celestial Palace.

It was said that the Founder of the Celestial Palace had accidentally ended up entering the mist to hide from some enemies that were chasing after him. Moreover, with some great luck, he managed to pass through the restriction and enter the Celestial Island.

He spent around fifty years on the Celestial Island, not daring to take a single step outside, worried about getting killed by his enemies in the outside world.

During those fifty years, he trained on the Celestial Island which was filled with many rare ancient treasures and inheritances that allowed him to become stronger.

Eventually, the Celestial Palace Ancestor found the core of the Ancient Formation that protected the Island and managed to gain complete control over it.

Since he had grown stronger thanks to all the inheritances of supreme experts from the ancient era, he confidently stepped out of the Celestial Island and killed all his enemies, stunning the entire world at that time!

After killing all his enemies, he established the Celestial Palace on the Island, creating a place that could compete with the Ancient Dynasties of the Celestial Realm!

Throughout the years, only the Celestial Palace Masters were made to know the method to control the mysterious protective formation of the Celestial Island. Only they could grant access to a person to enter or leave the Island.

This Protective Formation was also what kept the Celestial Palace safe throughout the years, since this was their biggest weapon. If not for this impossible-to-break formation, the Celestial Palace would've been destroyed before it could even grow up to be the behemoth it currently was.

Sitting atop the Gryphon, Xu Shan looked at the fog with great curiosity. It was unclear just what he was thinking about, however a frown could clearly be seen on his face.

As he grew, he also noticed a large group that had gathered on the ground. There were close to ten thousand people and all of them appeared to be looking into his direction.

"Are those the Gryphons of the Eternal Dynasty?" One of the Elders muttered, standing up. A trace of anger flashed before his eyes. He had already heard what happened in the Eternal Dynasty and how some of their Elders were killed in the Eternal Dynasty.

Most of the Elders revealed a look of hostility while the disciples revealed a look of intrigue. It was the first time for most of them to see the strange beast that was said to be exclusively controlled by the Royal Palace of the Ancient Eternal Dynasty.

It was said that a Gryphon was usually a beast that couldn't be tamed. Throughout the years, many people outside the Eternal Dynasty found young Gryphons and tried to tame them. However, the Gryphons were usually so stubborn that they killed themselves rather than being tamed.

No one knew how the Royal Palace of the Eternal Dynasty was able to do it, or what kind of methods they used.

Xu Shan was already planning on calling out some of the Elders from the Celestial Island since only they could bring him inside the Celestial Island. However, to find out that there were some Elders who were already outside... It made things easier for him.

The two Gryphons started descending from the sky, getting closer to the arena where the Elders and all the disciples had gathered.

The two Gryphons soon landed on the ground, only a few meters away from the Elders who were gathered together, as if prepared for every unexpected situation, especially when they sensed the strength of Ye Han who accompanied Xu Shan.

They weren't sure if they could face him even if they all worked together, after all. The Celestial Palace had many Elders.

Amongst them, there were stronger Elders who had already broken through to the Heavenly Celestial Realm. However, those Elders were the core of the Celestial Palace. They weren't sent out for a mere Disciple Selection Ceremony.

Amongst all the Elders of the Celestial Palace, the weakest ten were sent outside this time. However, even standing before Ye Han, the Elders still stood their ground. They had already sent a message to the Great Elder.

"To think that a Royal from the Eternal Dynasty also came here to become a disciple of the Celestial Palace... The Celestial Palace is incredible!" One of the youngsters exclaimed.

Even though he tried to keep his voice low, but in his excitement, it was loud enough for many disciples to hear.

In fact, these words even fell in Xu Shan's ears.

"That's right! We must give it our all to become a disciple of the Celestial Palace!" Another disciple chimed in.

As soon as the rumor about Xu Shan's intentions started spreading, many youngsters were excited, thinking that they had made the best choice of their lives by coming here! If they could become a disciple here, they could be comparable to a Prince of an Ancient Dynasty after all!

Even the Elders were stunned. Was that really the case? He came here to become a disciple? They all looked at each other, slightly taken aback.

In the end, one of the Elders laughed. "Not bad! Unfortunately, we can't accept you as a disciple. You should go back!"

The Celestial Palace already had a rule that they didn't accept anyone who was related to another Ancient Force. Even though the Elders felt that it was a pity to reject Xu Shan, they had no choice.

Xu Shan couldn't help but frown in response. "I think you're misunderstanding something. I'm not here to become a disciple of the Celestial Palace."

"As for the fact that you can't accept me as a disciple of the Celestial Palace...." He took a brief pause, gazing at the floating island in the sky. "Even if you could, I'm not the least bit interested. You really overestimate the Celestial Palace…"
