Chapter 731: The Non-Contentious Xianshen
Chapter 731: The Non-Contentious Xianshen
Since the dissolution of the Dao Court, the Mortal World has been in constant turmoil. Even after more than a million years, no sect has managed to unify Under Heaven. However, the overall strength of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World has been steadily increasing. This can be seen from the Heavenly Dao light layer that envelops the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, which has become increasingly radiant, illuminating a continually expanding area of the universe.
The name "Mortal World Hundred Sects" has gradually been phased out by the times, and the landscape of Under Heaven has undergone new changes.
Amidst the fierce competition, the gap between sects has widened.
Nine sects have emerged from the fray, becoming the supreme dao traditions in the hearts of the people of Under Heaven.
In the following years, the Taiyi Immortal Lord and the Jin Dong Seventy-Two Xians spread immortal connections widely in the Mortal World, promoting the development of immortal cultivation techniques.
In the Heavenly Realms, the Three Thousand Great Worlds have also begun to see the traces of Xianshen, and the prelude to the Emperor's Contention is brewing.
In the Taiwei Great World.
Inside a spacious and grand palace, Zhu Xi, dressed in a majestic golden robe, sat at the head of the hall. Her hair was neatly tied up under a holy crown, and her expression was stern, exuding an oppressive aura that seemed to disregard all living beings.
Many cultivators stood in the hall, all wearing large robes, each with a dignified and martial presence.
An elderly cultivator with white hair stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Xi, and said, "Your Majesty, although we cannot fully trust what the Xianshen said, we must still be cautious. If the Three Thousand Great Worlds are truly about to face such a great calamity, our Holy Court must prepare early."
These words were met with nods of agreement from the others in the hall.
Since the Divine Court was destroyed by a mysterious supreme being, Zhu Xi seized the opportunity to establish the Holy Court. Despite numerous hardships, the Holy Court has finally managed to gain control over the Taiwei Great World, becoming its de facto ruler.
Recently, a Star Lord descended, claiming to come from the Heavenly Court and bearing a message of heavenly fate, revealing the Emperor's Contention.
This news was a great shock to the nobles of the Holy Court. Zhu Xi had them return to their respective positions to process the information, and after a few days, they began to discuss the matter.
Now, most of the holy officials believe that this matter cannot be taken lightly. They must send people to the Heavenly Realms to investigate and see if other vast worlds have received similar information. They must also quickly consolidate their control over the Taiwei Great World.
The waters of the Taiwei Great World are too deep. Even though Zhu Xi has rallied many powerful clans, there are still many forces that the Holy Court must be wary of.
Zhu Xi listened to the discussions of her ministers, her face expressionless, but she felt a headache and a sense of helplessness.
Just when they had finally gained a foothold, a greater calamity loomed.
Compared to whether the Emperor's Contention was true, she saw the threat from the Heavenly Court.
The Star Lord's cultivation was unfathomably deep. Even if his words were false, the Holy Court still had to face him.
Even though the Holy Court now controlled the majority of Under Heaven, she had no confidence in facing the Star Lord.
But she knew she had to make a decision and take action.
"The Emperor's Contention cannot be ignored, but the grand plan for Under Heaven must also be carried out."
Zhu Xi spoke slowly, and everyone fell silent, awaiting her instructions.
She began to issue orders, mobilizing the entire strength of the Holy Court. The holy officials in the hall received their tasks one by one, and as the holy edicts were issued, a solemn and deadly atmosphere spread throughout the hall.
After a long while.
All the holy officials left, and Zhu Xi stood up, disappearing into thin air within the hall.
The next second, she appeared in a bamboo grove, and she walked deeper into it.
As she proceeded, a pavilion surrounded by green bamboo came into view. In front of the pavilion was a small courtyard with various flowers and plants. Even before she approached, a fresh fragrance wafted into Zhu Xi's nose.
She walked straight into the courtyard, stopping in front of the gate and said, "Senior, I have a matter that I must ask for your help with."
"Is it related to the Heavenly Court?"
A weathered voice emerged from the pavilion, causing Zhu Xi to raise an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
"Yes, did you already foresee this, Senior?" Zhu Xi asked curiously.
"Back when the Chillblaze Immortal Lord descended to the mortal realm, he mentioned the Emperor's Contention. He was acting on behalf of a Celestial Emperor, having the Divine Court gather souls to refine a Demon God Body. The Demon God Body possesses power comparable to that of a Xianshen, making it a crucial piece in the Celestial Emperor's plans."
The weathered voice continued, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Zhu Xi had already suspected as much. The Xianshen's directive to the Divine Court to capture so many mortal souls clearly indicated significant preparations for a major event. Now, with the news of the Emperor's Contention, the connection was evident.
"The Emperor's Contention is inevitable, a crisis and an opportunity. I know why you have come. Since the Emperor's Contention is about to begin, I will support you, but you must agree to one condition."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately asked, "What condition?"
The senior in the pavilion was no ordinary figure, once the master of the Divine Court, living for countless years. He left the Divine Court because he could no longer tolerate its actions and those of the Xianshen.
Encountering him was a stroke of luck for Zhu Xi. Although he had never directly helped her, he had provided her with valuable information, which had allowed her to avoid many troubles.
"If the Celestial Emperor you support wins, you must not vie for the position of Xianshen", the weathered voice said calmly.
Zhu Xi was puzzled. "If we don't compete for the position of Xianshen, why should we support the Celestial Emperor?"
"Do you have any other choice?"
Zhu Xi fell silent.
With the Star Lord personally arriving, she and the Divine Court had no room to refuse.
"Although I have not experienced the Emperor's Contention, I once saw some records in a relic of the Great Dao Path. The Emperor's Contention has no true winner, especially for the masses. In such a calamity, aligning closely with a Xianshen is not a good thing. I do not wish for the future rulers of Heaven and Earth to lead Taiwei to its downfall."
"You should remember the great battle a million years ago. The Divine Court was incredibly powerful, yet it was no match for a single opponent. Just like the Great Dao, the Three Thousand Great Worlds may seem vast and boundless, but in the eyes of a Xianshen, they might be insignificant."
The words of the weathered voice made Zhu Xi's expression turn grim.
She had long felt the arrogance of the Xianshen, and his words filled her with a profound sense of crisis.
When she confirmed that the Emperor's Contention was real, she had developed the ambition to become a Xianshen. If others felt the same, the situation would be dire.
Once the Emperor's Contention began, and the Xianshen promised immortality, her goal of controlling the Holy Court would become much more difficult.
Zhu Xi stood at the gate, deep in thought.
She took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I agree to your terms!"
Creak!
The door opened, and a token flew toward Zhu Xi. It was a green jade token, emitting a golden glow, rotating on its own.
"Take this token to the Ancient God Victory Continent and meet the Supreme Being. He will know what to do."
Hearing this, Zhu Xi's face lit up with joy. She knew what the Supreme Being of the Ancient God Victory Continent represented. Not only was he supremely powerful, but his disciples and followers were countless, spreading throughout the realm. With his support, the Holy Court would surely gain complete control over the Taiwei Great World.
"Thank you, Senior!"
