Chapter 150: The Ambition to Establish the Heavenly Court, Idea King Wan Qing (Revised)

After Mu Chen’s attempt at Path Validation both succeeded and failed, the remaining few grew increasingly eager.

You You, Liu Nian, Yu Feng, and Wang Bo were truly unique. Even with the suppression from the Path Validation of living beings, they could still achieve their goals.

They had delayed their final step for two reasons: one, to accumulate more strength; and two, to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, hoping someone would take the lead.

Their auras surged, so powerful that the surrounding space-time began to distort and blur, as if the entire universe were about to collapse.

“Hahaha, finally! If I don’t validate the path soon, I, Yu Feng the Heavenly Sovereign, might not be able to hold back!” the divine child Yu Feng exclaimed.

“Even if someone else validates the path first, the suppression of the great Dao won’t affect us. After a thousand years of accumulation, I have grown even stronger. I will achieve ultimate ascent in this battle!”

Wang Bo’s gaze was deep. For them, simple Path Validation was not difficult. What they desired was to become an unparalleled Heavenly Sovereign.

With the example of the Great Emperor Wu Shi before them, they were no longer satisfied with ordinary Path Validation. They were determined to validate the path to become Heavenly Sovereigns!

This was their pursuit and goal. They believed that if Wu Shi could do it, they could too, aspiring to rise to the heavens in a single bound.

Even You You was inspired by this idea, determined to inherit the glory of his father.

He sent the dying Mu Chen away with the Black Sovereign, quickly composed himself, and his gaze became solemn.

“The battle a thousand years ago was just a prelude. Now, we shall continue the thousand-year war!”

“Begin! It’s time for us to fight to the death. Only the one who stands out at the end will have the chance to achieve ultimate metamorphosis and become a supreme Heavenly Sovereign!”

Liu Nian, You You, Wang Bo, and Yu Feng all stood at the peak of their alternate paths. Over the past thousand years, they had fought each other multiple times, each pushing themselves to their limits in life-and-death battles.

This battle was earth-shattering.

They fought to the edges of the universe, sparing no effort, their blood splattering the sky, disrupting the stability of the heavens.

Order was severed, rules were annulled, and the great Dao itself seemed to be collapsing. In the end, they fought into the unknown realms beyond the chaos.

A thousand years of accumulation and self-restraint had built up a momentum, all for the purpose of becoming supreme Heavenly Sovereigns in an invincible manner!

“A Heavenly Sovereign is not a title of Dao cultivation or realm, but a recognition of great achievements, the highest honor bestowed by the world.” A clear and ethereal figure on the Nine-Dragon Coffin Bier whispered.

“Of course, in the end, it’s all about fighting.”

Shao Hua glanced back, her gaze piercing through the universe. She shook her head, allowing them to “misbehave” without any intention of stopping them, even finding it amusing.

Let the young ones be proud and ambitious. Having goals is a good thing. They should fight, achieving ultimate ascent in life and death, and transform at their limits.

As for how far they can go, it’s entirely up to them.

While it was relatively peaceful now, a little chaos wouldn’t hurt. The road ahead would be even more difficult.

The final outcome was unexpected yet reasonable.

This great battle had no true winner.

They all broke through to the Emperor Realm, but none of them reached the coveted “Heavenly Sovereign” level. By the end, they were fighting with such intensity that blood and bones flew, and they were all on the brink of death, with the risk of falling.

"This world truly has no one who can remain glorious forever, for no one remains unchanged. However, I haven’t lost, and this might be another precious experience in my life", the Chaos Body Wang Bo said, his tone hinting at the wear and tear of life's journey.

“Becoming a Heavenly Sovereign in one lifetime is indeed too ambitious. I told you it was unreliable, but you insisted on trying. Now, we’re all about to die. Who’s going to save us?” Yu Feng couldn’t help but complain.

“Father, is this the path you once walked? I may fall short, but I will continue walking until the day I stand by your side!” You You said.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t strong enough, but he had been targeted. Everyone wanted to become the second Wu Shi, so they naturally focused on him, the son of Wu Shi, beating him to a pulp.

If not for his deep cultivation in the Eternal Script, he might have given up long ago.

In fact, Wang Bo and Yu Feng were in even worse shape. One’s Chaos Body had exploded, unable to reassemble, leaving only a dimmed divine soul.

The other was left with only a rotund head, frowning, but his eyes still flashed with a defiant light.

As for Liu Nian, she wasn’t much better. Her battle armor was shattered, and blood dripped from her forehead. She had been a target due to her outstanding performance a thousand years ago, and now her body showed signs of petrification, suppressing her Dao wounds.

She was already a frozen beauty, and now, with her injuries, she had a tragic beauty.

In such a state, none of them could possibly be unscathed. They were all severely injured, unable to continue fighting.

Even if someone had a slight advantage, in a four-way battle, it wouldn’t matter. No one could dominate, and they would all face a collective assault, which was even more terrifying than one-on-one battles.

Finally, Liu Nian spoke, “Don’t die easily, my friends. I hope we can meet again someday.”

“Next time we meet, we’ll settle the score!” the others responded, dragging their broken bodies away, each using their means to survive.

These people had unyielding Dao cores, unafraid of setbacks. Even though they hadn’t achieved their goals, they were not discouraged, their beliefs still firm.

Neither Shao Hua nor Wu Shi paid much attention, even when You You was on the brink of death. They didn’t intervene.

If they had decided to do something, as their nephews and nieces, they should have the awareness to face the consequences.

“You You isn’t truly carefree. Sometimes, not striving is a form of striving. He wants more than what’s in front of him,” Shao Hua understood her nephew.

This child knew he would eventually validate the path and become an emperor, so he displayed a “non-contentious” attitude, hiding his sharpness.

He seemed very different from his father, but in reality, his inner pride was the same.

An era of emperors without Heavenly Sovereigns emerged, and many were confused.

Shao Hua traveled aimlessly through the cosmos with the Nine-Dragon Coffin Bier for ten thousand years.

She originally planned to visit the Strange World and see old friends after truly achieving the status of a Mundane Immortal, and to investigate the whereabouts of the Imperial Sovereign. However, she was delayed by her own condition and could only send a token.

The Grand Primordial Wheel tore through the cosmic barrier, startling the Strange World, and was eventually obtained by Wan Qing.

Wan Qing was exceptionally talented and rapidly rose to prominence. He didn’t follow the path of becoming a Mundane Immortal but underwent a self-rebirth crucible, becoming incredibly strong.

Shao Hua told Wan Qing everything about the Imperial Sovereign. Now, she was no longer afraid of the Imperial Sovereign; if he were to act, it would be uncertain who would be left standing.

Wan Qing discovered the traces left by the Imperial Sovereign, revealing him as the mastermind behind the plan to fuse the two worlds and create the World Cauldron. This led to a quick reconciliation with the Strange World.

While they might not have turned enemies into friends, they certainly wouldn’t attack each other randomly.

With a common enemy, their differences were trivial. More people meant more strength, which was essential to combat the Eternal Shadow Hand.

After all, Wan Qing’s side was not to be underestimated. A group of Supreme Sovereigns and their grown children, all powerful, made the Strange World not much of an advantage.

Especially after Shao Hua’s sword opened the Heavenly Gate, injuring the strongest opponent across the universe, it was a significant deterrent, giving the Strange World reason to be wary.

The bell resonated, and Shao Hua, upon learning that everyone was doing well in the Strange World, couldn’t help but smile beautifully.

But when she heard that Wan Qing was planning to establish a Heavenly Court, her smile turned into a grimace, and she couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cosmic essence, dimming several star domains.

“Hiss~~~”

“Wan Qing, are you that bold?”

If he spent less time on these ideas, his strength would surely be even greater!

Shao Hua sternly warned Wan Qing against establishing a Heavenly Court, as those who did so without sufficient strength and fate would meet a bad end.

Even her father had once said that if their children couldn’t become immortals, they could re-establish the Heavenly Court, but she had warned against it.

“I understand, Senior Sister,” Wan Qing’s voice echoed from inside the bell, filled with disappointment and frustration.

“One last time, don’t think about creating a self-cultivation realm or re-establishing the Heavenly Court. You won’t be able to control it,” Shao Hua earnestly advised.

Wan Qing remained silent for a long time before responding, “Cough, what if I’m doing it for you?”

“Wan Qing!!!”

Shao Hua was taken aback, then leaped up, slapping the bell with a force that shattered the nearly divine-level Eastern Sovereign Bell into pieces.

What a trickster!

The bell’s resonance shook the eight desolates, but Shao Hua didn’t let her anger get the best of her, reining in her killing intent to avoid destroying countless star domains.

Wu Shi immediately located the source of the bell and rushed over, time seemingly reversing behind him.

“What happened?!” he asked, seeing his sister for the first time in such a rage, her hair flying, looking ready to strike.

There was no enemy in sight, so who had provoked her?

“Go, find Wan Qing, and beat him up for me!”

Shao Hua smirked, took a deep breath, and split the cosmic barrier with a single palm, creating a passage straight into the Strange World.

She had been ready to do it herself but decided it would be undignified. With Wu Shi’s arrival, she let him handle it.

Wu Shi was puzzled, unsure what his good friend had done to anger his sister across a universe.

“Could it be...” Wu Shi’s eyes flashed, a hint of killing intent rising.

Brothers are like clothes, but sisters are true kin. He had treated Wan Qing as a brother, but now he thought Wan Qing wanted to be his brother-in-law?

Very well, they were no longer good brothers.

“I’m going to kill him!” Wu Shi’s eyes glinted with malice.

“That’s a bit much,” Shao Hua waved her hand, then drew a nine-colored immortal sword and handed it to Wu Shi. “Use this to discipline him.”

Wu Shi’s eyes filled with even more sorrow and anger as he took the sword, his mind already planning how to dismember his friend.

He crossed the universe with the resolve of a warrior heading to his doom, making Shao Hua pause in surprise.

“How does it feel like he really wants to kill someone?”

Shao Hua blinked, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, then muttered, “It must be my imagination. He’ll understand what I mean, and since they’re such good friends, it should be fine!”

In the Strange World, Wan Qing felt the same way, thinking it wasn’t a big issue.

The Eastern Sovereign Bell had exploded, and he didn’t know what had happened on the other side. He put down the Grand Primordial Wheel, which had stopped spinning, and said to himself:

“Establishing a Heavenly Court would be great, but Senior Sister doesn’t want it. I’ll have to put it on hold and ask Wu Shi to persuade her. Maybe there’s still hope.”

Clearly, he hadn’t given up on his bold idea and even planned to influence Wu Shi to change Shao Hua’s mind.

It was all about admitting fault but not giving up.

“Hmm? Why is the Grand Primordial Wheel reviving on its own?”

Wan Qing was startled by the wheel’s sudden revival, watching it grow and form a deep black hole, from which a tall figure with a sword emerged.

It was Wu Shi, his black hair disheveled, his sword in hand, his killing intent overwhelming.

Wan Qing was surprised, a smile instinctively forming on his face.

But then he realized something was wrong and quickly retreated, asking, “Wu Shi, my good brother, you’re here, but why are you filled with killing intent?”

Wu Shi grunted and lunged at him with his sword.

Wan Qing fled, but eventually had no place to run and was caught and beaten by Wu Shi.

Only then did they realize there had been a misunderstanding.

“So, you were just trying to help establish a Heavenly Court for my sister? I thought...” Wu Shi couldn’t help but grimace. “You should have said so earlier. What a waste of emotion.”

“Why do you think what?” Wan Qing asked, then an idea struck him, and he said with conviction:

“You killed me for no reason. You should at least explain yourself and help me persuade Senior Sister.”

Wu Shi felt a headache coming on. Changing a Mundane Immortal’s mind was no easy task, and he might end up getting beaten himself.

But what he did today was indeed not right.

“Sister is devoted to cultivation and the Dao. Changing her mind is difficult, very difficult!” Wu Shi said.

“Why don’t we just establish the Heavenly Court first and deal with the consequences later?” Wan Qing had a new idea.

Wu Shi sighed, feeling like he was about to bear the brunt of the consequences.

But why was he feeling a bit restless inside?
