Chapter 395: Please, Grand Supervisor, Suppress the Netherworld, Temple Deity Resonance, My Immortal

Chapter 395: Please, Grand Supervisor, Suppress the Netherworld, Temple Deity Resonance, My Immortal Summoning Banner is Coming【Seeking Monthly Votes】

"Quickly! Go to the Celestial Bureau and invite the Grand Supervisor!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry—!!!"

The Emperor's words seemed to tear through the wind and waves, echoing across the entire White Jade Square, now reduced to a ruinous, dilapidated state.

At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to quieten down.

Falling into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned.

Even the Empress, whom the Emperor had used as a shield against arrows, standing before him in her elegant and noble attire, was momentarily disoriented when she heard the panicked voice of the Emperor behind her.

His Majesty... was he scared by the Netherworld's King of the Netherworld?!

The Empress was dumbfounded, and her exquisite and beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a trace of bewilderment. Her red lips parted in momentary astonishment.

However, this bewilderment quickly faded, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in her eyes.

As his wife and the Empress, she instantly guessed something. With her understanding of the Emperor, although the King of the Netherworld had brutally and forcefully killed the leaders of the Mystic Guards, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, whom the Emperor had personally cultivated...

How could such a minor disturbance frighten the Emperor?

How could it scare the Emperor to the point of asking for the Grand Supervisor?

It was common knowledge that a rift had developed between the Great Jing Imperial Court and the Celestial Bureau, and the Imperial Court had even listed the Celestial Bureau as the twelfth Great Deity Sect within the Great Jing territory!

The relationship between the Emperor and the Grand Supervisor had gradually grown distant.

The Empress, as a member of the Gongshu family, felt this most keenly.

Perhaps due to the rift between the Emperor and the Grand Supervisor, the Emperor had developed a sense of resistance and distance towards her, a woman from the ancient Gongshu family.

Consequently, this gave the Imperial Concubine Ji and the Imperial Concubine Su, who was sent by the Su family from the Quanyuan Divine Sect, the opportunity to win the Emperor's favor and become his favorites.

This caused no small trouble for the Empress. Although Imperial Concubine Ji had the backing of the ancient Ji family, it wasn't a significant issue. However, the Su family's Imperial Concubine Su, who came from the Quanyuan Divine Sect, was a real threat and caused considerable trouble for the Empress.

Su Da, a very peculiar girl.

Of course, the main reason for the Emperor's distance from the Gongshu family was still because of the Grand Supervisor.

But this time...

The Grand Supervisor is sending someone to call for him because of the threat posed by the King of the Netherworld?"

The Empress was a little confused...

No, to be precise, ever since the Emperor wrote the decree granting Li Nuoxi the title of Crown Prince Consort, the Empress had been unable to understand the Emperor's actions and intentions.

The Empress felt the panic of the person behind her.

A King of the Netherworld... is it worth it?

The Empress's brows furrowed slightly, and she knew nothing, nothing at all!

The Emperor had never shared any of his plans with her.

She felt like a puppet, following the threads the Emperor dangled, constantly manipulated and arranged by him.

The Empress's eyes flickered with a slight ripple, and many scenes appeared in her mind.

In those scenes...

She saw the Emperor, who had shown admiration for her the first time they met, holding her in his palm as if she were a delicate snowflake he feared would melt. To make her smile, he took her on a tour of the Great Jing Empire's mountains and rivers.

However...

No one knew when it started.

The Emperor and she had become like strangers, and it had been many years, so many that she had lost count of the days, and he had never taken a step into her palace.

The rift between them as husband and wife seemed to...

Grow wider and wider.

...

...

On the White Jade Square,

The raging winds blew, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Everyone was shocked, not just by the brutality of the King of the Netherworld and the Netherworld's domineering display, but also by the fact that even in front of the Emperor, they showed no signs of retreat.

But...

It shouldn't have scared the Emperor to this extent, to the point of asking for the Grand Supervisor's help?

Inviting the Grand Supervisor was like openly discarding the Great Jing Emperor's face and seeking aid from the Grand Supervisor! Is a King of the Netherworld worth it?!

The Great Jing Imperial Court's foundation wasn't just what it seemed on the surface! The Ji family, the Yue family, and the Gongshu family all had ancestors who had survived the Divine Tribulation and were seated in the Enigma Tower. Could the Great Jing Imperial Court not have the same?

Surely they did. Among the past emperors of Great Jing, many had peacefully retired after fulfilling their duties!

It could be said that although the Great Jing Imperial Family didn't have the same longevity as the ancient families, as the ruling dynasty that governed the world, their foundation couldn't possibly be weaker than the ancient families.

Since the Imperial Family had ancestors who had survived the Divine Tribulation, if they truly wanted to suppress the King of the Netherworld, why would they need to ask for the Grand Supervisor's help?

Bewilderment...

Even Ji Mo Li, holding the Umbrella Gun, showed a trace of astonishment and confusion in his eyes.

Then, a barely noticeable look of contempt appeared.

Is this the Great Jing Emperor? How ridiculous!

Such an emperor was truly embarrassing!

He, Ji Mo Li, could easily replace him! However, this thought flashed through his mind and was immediately suppressed, never to resurface again.

Xi Xi and Li Che clashed with Ji Mo Li, who had revealed the Nether Flame, a power of the Divine Tribulation.

Feeling the terrifying power of the Half-Step Divine Tribulation, Xi Xi chose to retreat, and the corrosive power of the Nether Flame continued to erode his body after their clash, like an incurable bone disease.

However, the damage he sustained was borne by the dominant clone on the city tower.

Combined with Xi Xi's current powerful Pure Martial body, the damage he endured was minimal.

Currently, Xi Xi was no longer concerned about Ji Mo Li.

Although Ji Mo Li couldn't be killed immediately, by revealing the Nether Flame and demonstrating the power of the Divine Tribulation, he had become even more troublesome.

However, exposing his cultivation was enough, and Ji Mo Li's display of power would undoubtedly attract trouble. Therefore, Xi Xi didn't bother with him, and his eyes, shining with starlight, turned towards the Emperor on the grand terrace, who was putting on a poor performance.

It was as if a thread connected everything.

Temple Deity Resonance?

The Emperor was seeking Temple Deity Resonance! Perhaps the Emperor's true intention was to create chaos at the Peach Feast to resonate with the Queen Mother of the West's Enigmatic Temple. But mainly, the Emperor's words, "Quickly go to the Celestial Bureau and invite the Grand Supervisor," unintentionally triggered Xi Xi's memory resonance, and the overwhelming sense of deja vu made Xi Xi feel something was amiss.

His heart couldn't help but stir slightly. Could it be... this world has some clue guiding the Temple Deity Resonance ceremony?!

Otherwise, how could the Emperor have calculated such a grand spectacle?

"Temple Deity Resonance?"

Beneath the black and white mask.

The King of Netherworld's hoarse voice broke the silence, echoing eerily, as if unintentionally pointing out the Emperor's purpose.

These words startled many people!

Temple Deity Resonance?

How could that be?

Many people's gazes turned to the Emperor on the Grand Terrace. The Temple Deity Resonance of the Strange Shrine... everyone was feeling their way forward, not knowing what actions were needed to trigger the resonance!

The Peach Feast was only found after generations of the imperial court spent a long time exploring, to establish a method for resonating with the West Queen Mother's Strange Shrine.

And now, the King of Netherworld actually says the Emperor is trying to achieve Temple Deity Resonance?

The Emperor's panic and call for the Grand Supervisor's help—is this Temple Deity Resonance?

Such a strong sense of purpose...

Is it really Temple Deity Resonance?!

The Emperor must have discovered some clue to have such a clear goal and carry out this Temple Deity Resonance!

None of the people present were fools; at this moment, they all vaguely guessed something.

Including the Emperor's decree to marry Lu Taibai to a baby dragon, which was clearly forcing Lu Taibai to rebel and cause a commotion at the Peach Feast!

Otherwise, the Emperor had no need to make things so tense and turn the Peach Feast into a farce and a laughingstock.

After all, if this news spread, this session of the Peach Feast might become a laughable joke, which would be bad for the Emperor and Empress's reputation.

However, the Emperor still did it.

At this moment, everyone, when they connected the dots, felt that the Emperor was doing this on purpose.

It was as if...

Someone told the Emperor that such behavior could trigger Temple Deity Resonance!

On the Grand Terrace.

The Emperor's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of surprise.

He fixed his gaze on the King of Netherworld, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Because he didn't expect the King of Netherworld to guess his actions so quickly were aimed at Temple Deity Resonance!

The Netherworld is inscrutable!

Why does this King of Netherworld seem to know everything?!

The Emperor's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

However, he didn't stop his actions, regardless of whether the King of Netherworld saw through his Temple Deity Resonance.

The arrow is on the string, and it must be shot.

Compared to the benefits gained after completing the Temple Deity Resonance, everything is worth it!

First, he will obtain the Three Pure Ones Divine Armament that the Great Jing Imperial Clan spent a great deal of effort and time searching for in the West Queen Mother's Strange Shrine!

Second, he can obtain clues to the higher-rank Strange Shrine that originated the Dark Heavenly Court's pantheon in the Enigma Tower!

As for the source of the Temple Deity Resonance, the Emperor has verified it and trusts it.

Originally, the Emperor was targeting Lu Taibai, and from the beginning, he arranged for Lu Taibai to cause a commotion at the Peach Feast to achieve the Temple Deity Resonance he desired.

Because, if Lu Taibai concealed his cultivation, being merely a top-tier peak at the sixth rank of Heaven's Gate Pass, he wouldn't be qualified to achieve the Temple Deity Resonance effect the Emperor wanted.

So, he discussed with National Master Xie Yunsen and forced Lu Taibai to reveal his Dao Essence Cataclysm Sword cultivation.

A half-step Divine Tribulation was barely enough.

But he didn't expect the Netherworld to intervene!

The King of Netherworld was even more fierce and powerful, killing three of his Mystic Guard Commanders!

While the Emperor was enraged, he also felt a bit of joy...

Because, compared to Lu Taibai...

The Netherworld clearly fits the Temple Deity Resonance better!

It's as if heaven is helping me!

So, the Emperor couldn't stop and didn't want to stop.

Given the current situation.

Naturally, he will continue to complete this Temple Deity Resonance!

The Emperor turned to look at the Second Prince.

The Second Prince, Lu Hengyi, had already stood up, stunned by the sudden change in the situation. Suddenly, he felt the Emperor's gaze.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Second Prince Lu Hengyi immediately understood something, and his face couldn't help but show a look of wild joy!

The Third Prince, Lu Li Tong, who was standing beside him, also thought of something, and his face instantly turned pale. His entire body swayed, as if a terrifying force had pierced his heart!

His heart felt hollow!

Understanding the meaning behind the Emperor's gaze, the Second Prince Lu Hengyi was overjoyed and fumbled to take out a Celestial Decree.

"Father Emperor! Your son is willing to invite the Grand Supervisor for you!"

As he spoke.

The Second Prince Lu Hengyi injected divine essence into the Celestial Decree without hesitation.

Respectfully expressing his invitation to the Grand Supervisor.

The Third Prince Lu Li Tong was filled with regret; he never thought the Emperor would play such a move.

He used his Celestial Decree to invite the Grand Supervisor to determine who killed his mother, to pretend to be filial, and to leave a good impression with the Grand Supervisor.

Now, he couldn't produce the Celestial Decree.

The Third Prince, in despair, pounded his chest.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—!!!

When the Second Prince Lu Hengyi's Celestial Decree completed the communication, in the direction of the Heaven Divination Bureau in the Second City of the Divine Capital...

The Eight Treasure Overhanging Eaves Celestial Tower.

The precious pearl floating at the top instantly emitted an extremely brilliant light.

Buzz!

A semi-transparent, ripple-like wave instantly expanded rapidly, like an endless wave surging over the surface of the sea!

It instantly enveloped and impacted everyone's hearts.

"Alas..."

A soft sigh came from within the Celestial Decree Tower.

Instantly, two beams of light swiftly rose into the air.

They were the two Deputy Grand Supervisors of the Heaven Divination Bureau, Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen.

The two Deputy Grand Supervisors rose into the sky, their wide-sleeved Daoist robes fluttering, and they bowed slightly to the void.

"Welcome, Grand Supervisor!"

As they spoke.

Above the Celestial Decree Tower, it seemed to be cut open by a blade, instantly splitting into a crack, the edges of which were like stacked black Russian blocks.

Breaking through the void!

The skill of a Divine Tribulation cultivator!

Everyone's gaze was drawn to this moment.

With the ripples expanding, an overwhelmingly powerful pressure instantly pressed down on everyone's hearts, a suffocating sense of oppression.

Even Ji Mo Li, at this moment, gathered his aura, feeling the Nether Flame within him completely subside.

Li Che, wearing a black and white Netherworld mask, also couldn't help but frown slightly.

Grand Supervisor...

What a predicament!

Rumble—

The sky suddenly erupted with spring thunder, and even the suspended Ink City Netherworld seemed to sway slightly under this force.

From the torn rift in the void, a figure emerged, shrouded in a mystical aura, slowly stepping out.

An overwhelming aura surged, pressing down like a raging tide, causing the space to ripple and tremble more intensely.

Dressed in a white Daoist robe, with wide sleeves fluttering, and a face veiled in mystical energy, the figure stepped on the void, slowly approaching the White Jade Square.

With each step, ripples formed in the void, and as they spread, the white-robed figure appeared on the edge of the ripples.

Continuing to step on the ripples, the figure moved forward as if teleporting through space.

Even Li Che, who was watching, couldn't help but shrink back slightly at the sight.

The Grand Supervisor at this moment was vastly different from the one Li Che had seen earlier in the Celestial Divination Bureau.

The oppressive feeling was too intense!

Even above the Ink City Netherworld, where the sky was obscured, terrifying black clouds had already gathered, as if about to descend upon the earth, exuding an incredibly oppressive aura!

This was true Heavenly Might!

Compared to the power Li Che had drawn using the Heaven Surpassing Half Son's Dao Guidance, it was far more powerful!

Of course, due to the lack of specificity, everyone only felt the weight and the suppression of their divine essence, making it difficult to channel their power smoothly.

The Grand Supervisor only needed to create three ripples in the void to arrive above the White Jade Square.

With eyes shrouded in mystical energy, he exuded an air of transcendence.

"Your Majesty... Are you going to make this old man suffer so much?" the Grand Supervisor said with a detached air.

The Emperor's eyes still showed a feigned panic.

"Since the Grand Supervisor has arrived, I can be seen.

"Since the Grand Supervisor has arrived, Your Majesty can rest assured."

"That scoundrel, the King of the Netherworld, has caused enough trouble. Please, Grand Supervisor, suppress this villain!" the Emperor said.

The Grand Supervisor glanced at the Emperor and then at the second prince, Lu Hengyi, who was kneeling on the ground, having crushed the Celestial Decree.

He sighed softly.

Initially, each prince had been given a Celestial Decree, but they had become pawns in the Emperor's calculations.

"Your Majesty, the princes have used one less Celestial Decree... Please cherish it," the Grand Supervisor said calmly.

As his words fell, the third prince, Lu Li Tong's face turned even paler, and his legs went soft.

It seemed as if he had lost all his strength.

He finally understood the foolishness of his actions.

To gain favor with the Grand Supervisor, he had foolishly used up the precious prince's Celestial Decree...

Just then, a pair of strong arms grabbed him, supporting him.

The third prince, Lu Li Tong, turned and saw Han Si Xi's encouraging gaze.

"Your Highness, hold on. You still have me," Han Si Xi said.

The third prince looked into Han Si Xi's determined eyes, and for a moment, his heart warmed, as if a furnace was roasting him.

"Yes, and you too."

Of course, at this moment, no one paid attention to the third prince's emotional changes.

The Grand Supervisor's words conveyed to the Emperor that the prince's Celestial Decree... was the last bond between the Celestial Divination Bureau and the Great Jing Imperial Court.

Each use of the decree meant a reduction in the bond.

When it was completely used up, the Celestial Divination Bureau and the Great Jing Imperial Court would have no further ties.

The Emperor's body swayed, and he seemed to understand something, and his eyes revealed a hint of sadness.

The Empress, who was standing by his side, also seemed to realize the implications.

"Please, Grand Supervisor, suppress the Netherworld's villains!" the Emperor said.

Without further words, the Grand Supervisor stood in the void, slowly turned, and looked at the King of the Netherworld, who was wearing a black and white mask.

The Grand Supervisor's eyes shone with a brilliant light, as if trying to see through the mask to the face beneath.

Lu Taibai's eyebrows furrowed, and a silver sword light burst forth from his brow. Blood flowed freely, triggering the Dao Essence Cataclysm Sword, which blocked the Grand Supervisor and the King of the Netherworld.

"Brother King of the Netherworld, leave quickly. Take the disciples of the Quanyuan Divine Sect with you," Lu Taibai said, his heart sinking to the bottom of a valley. He had never expected that this battle would draw the Grand Supervisor's intervention.

At this moment, Lu Taibai vaguely guessed that the Emperor had been plotting against him, using him as a link in the Shrine Deity Resonance.

The Netherworld had been implicated by him.

So, at this moment, he only wanted to block the Grand Supervisor, even for a moment, to allow the King of the Netherworld to leave with Li Che and the Quanyuan Divine Sect's children.

Even if...

It cost him his life.

Lu Taibai's silver hair fluttered wildly.

Boom! The ground exploded!

Pure golden vital energy surged, and the True Martial Sect's leader, Shi Jian, appeared, wearing black armor, his sturdy body emitting golden light as he stood in the void alongside Lu Taibai.

The Grand Supervisor was surprised to see Shi Jian step forward, as if the True Martial Mountain was no longer a sanctuary.

"King of the Netherworld... I greatly admire your Pure Martial Supremacy. The Netherworld is willing to support the True Martial Sect's machinery," Shi Jian said, his body emitting a deep rumble.

Straightforward as always, Shi Jian directly expressed his intention to intervene.

Without the goods, how could a man die?

Suddenly, talismans began to float in the air, accompanied by cursing voices.

"Damn it, Lu Taibai! You're such a troublemaker! My sister marrying you was a mistake!"

"Always causing trouble! Damn it!"

Xuan Jiuzhuan talismans rose into the air, forming a towering stack of ten thousand talismans.

However, the Grand Supervisor let out a soft laugh, "So sentimental and righteous..."

"No need to bother."

The Grand Supervisor raised his hand, as if carved from jade, and gently pressed downward.

In an instant.

The faces of Xuan Jiuzhuan and Shi Jian changed slightly.

The two suspended bodies were suddenly overwhelmed by a terrifying force, pressing them to the ground as if an invisible hand was resting on their shoulders.

They were pinned to the ground.

So powerful!

Xuan Jiuzhuan and Shi Jian were helpless, and Lu Taibai gave them a sympathetic look.

Lu Taibai exhaled, and the air contained a boundless sword intent.

The Grand Supervisor said, "Don't provoke it. The resonance of the Shrine Deity was originally meant for you, but now it's not you. You can leave."

"It's not worth it if you can't fully grasp and refine the Dao position..."

"A loss."

The Grand Supervisor spoke.

Lu Taibai smiled and his Taibai Sword hovered at his shoulder, its tip pointing towards the sky, and the sword's energy soared!

The sleeves of his robe hid the bulging pouches behind him.

"Everything started with me, and it should end with me."

However.

As soon as he finished speaking, the King of the Netherworld appeared before him.

Lu Taibai was taken aback.

"Don't waste words."

Under the black and white divided mask, a pair of eyes shone brilliantly.

A hand gently rested on Lu Taibai's shoulder.

Lu Taibai felt the world spinning.

Then, his entire person appeared on the city tower of Ink City, Netherworld.

"I..."

Lu Taibai was astonished.

"Sect Master!"

Xi Xi widened her eyes and called out, waving her hand.

Lu Taibai's expression softened...

He sighed softly.

He looked at Xi Xi, who was standing next to Li Che, wearing a horse face mask. Li Che nodded slightly at him.

"Sect Master, don't worry. The King of the Netherworld will be fine."

"He probably doesn't want you to hold him back."

Li Che honestly said.

Lu Taibai: "..."

That hurt, little Li!

"After all...with your teleportation, compared to the King of the Netherworld's own teleportation, there's still some gap."

"You're slower."

Under the horse face mask, Li Che seemed to become very cold, and his words became more direct.

Lu Taibai was speechless.

Thinking of the Netherworld's incredibly skilled teleportation...

Nothing to say.

Standing on the city tower of Ink City, the scenery was different, and he looked up at the terrifying oppression of the dark clouds piling up and falling from the sky, brewing a terrifying disaster.

Lu Taibai's eyes couldn't help but show the Netherworld King.

I wonder how many disasters he can get through.

...

...

On the White Jade Square.

As Lu Taibai was teleported to Ink City, Netherworld.

Everyone's gaze fell on the Netherworld King, who wore a black and white mask and had starry eyes beneath it.

"Finally, the annoying guy is gone."

The Netherworld King spoke indifferently.

The Grand Supervisor looked at the Netherworld King and smiled. He seemed to sense a familiar scent.

Is it him? The Grand Supervisor suppressed the urge to deduce.

"Netherworld King, the Imperial Decree contains an agreement between me and the Great Jing Royal Family, and it's related to my disaster. I can't escape it, so I apologize for the trouble."

"I'll only make one move."

"If the Netherworld King can escape, I won't pursue him."

The Grand Supervisor's white robe fluttered, and his voice carried a hint of laughter.

"This move of mine won't have any killing intent, only the might of suppression. If he can escape, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap."

"Good."

The Netherworld King said.

On the White Jade Square.

The Emperor emerged from behind the Empress, his eyes deep as he stared at the conversation between the Grand Supervisor and the Netherworld King in the sky.

He didn't make any demands, but his eyes grew slightly hotter.

Boom!

As the Grand Supervisor slowly raised his hand, an extremely terrifying pressure, like layers of hurricane clouds, piled up.

Under the mask, Li Che raised his hand and pointed at his forehead.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard and Ink City disappeared in an instant.

Then, the terrifying and brilliant golden Vital Energy exploded, and the Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace's Vital Energy burst forth!

In an instant, it was as if an extremely brilliant golden mushroom cloud had erupted between heaven and earth.

The brilliant golden light almost stimulated everyone's gaze.

The Grand Supervisor's hair flew, and his face was covered in white mist. In the next moment, he slowly clapped towards the Netherworld King.

Countless dense dark clouds suddenly descended, transforming into a huge hand, like a mountain pressing down!

Li Che, wearing the Netherworld King's mask, glanced at the mountain-like giant hand falling from the sky.

He smiled lightly.

His toes pointed at the void, and his entire person shot backwards.

In that moment.

His five fingers clenched the Flying Thunder Chess Piece.

In an instant—

His entire person disappeared from the sky.

...

He stopped in the Imperial Palace Temple within the First City of the Divine Capital.

The Emperor halted, and his golden yellow robe fluttered in the wind.

He sensed the boundless Shrine Deity's energy, which began to surge within the First City of the Divine Capital.

The Shrine Deity Resonance had ended!

He was about to receive the reward for the Shrine Deity Resonance! Come on!

My...
