Chapter 801: No Freedom
Chapter 801: No Freedom
In the dimly lit hall, all the rulers of the Great Worlds had awakened, each in meditation, reflecting on their recent gains.
Zhu Xi suddenly opened her eyes, her brow furrowed with confusion.
As she pondered, she glanced around, and when her gaze fell on the North Star Lord, she was drawn to his expression.
The North Star Lord stood on the steps, gazing out at the Dark Sky. Though it was unclear what he was thinking, his somber face indicated a heavy heart.
Could something have happened to the Celestial Emperor?
Zhu Xi instantly thought of this possibility and closed her eyes to avoid being noticed by the North Star Lord.
However, she couldn’t continue her cultivation. If the Celestial Emperor were truly in trouble, it would mean that the Celestial Throne Struggle might turn in an unfavorable direction.
Even though Grand Immortal Tai Xian had reclaimed ninety percent of the Great Worlds, Zhu Xi still felt uneasy. His methods didn’t align with the Heavenly Dao.
Who had ever heard of a Xian using demons in battle, or allowing them to devour the living?
While the Taiwei Great World hadn’t been temporarily occupied by demons and thus avoided chaos, it was only because she had aligned with Grand Immortal Tai Xian from the beginning of the Celestial Throne Struggle. She had heard of the fates of other Great Worlds, which had been turned into mortal hells by Grand Immortal Tai Xian’s conquest.
Because of these events, the subsidiary forces felt lost and uneasy, fearing that their contributions would be erased if Grand Immortal Tai Xian emerged victorious.
"If the Celestial Emperor really fails, how will the Taiwei Great World survive?"
Zhu Xi thought with a heavy heart. Although she was an outsider, she had spent so many years in the Taiwei Great World, even founding a new Celestial Court. She had come to consider it her own world and did not want it to become a hell for demons to ravage.
Meanwhile.
In a distant hall, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan were also observing the battle. Unlike the North Star Lord’s troubled expression, these two Xians were highly excited, marveling at the power of the Primordial Divine Sparrow.
"Even if a Supreme Xian were to intervene, they couldn’t stop this bird. The Primordial Ancestor is truly formidable, to have raised such a divine creature."
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan stroked his beard with a smile. The Celestial Court had powerful divine beasts, immortal beasts, and spirit beasts, but few were as formidable as the Primordial Divine Sparrow. Even Elder Immortal Ci Xuan, who had lived for countless years, had never seen such a presence.
The Primordial Divine Sparrow was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the Three Thousand Great Worlds, using its own light to tear through the darkness shrouding the Vast Worlds, burning away the demons, and moving forward without any obstacle.
"There are many clever beings."
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign’s lips curved into a mocking smile.
The creatures and demons without the Celestial Court’s Fortune dared not approach the Primordial Divine Sparrow, only the Celestial Soldiers and Generals continued to charge forward, fearless of death.
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan replied, "Once those Xians die enough times, their courage will wane."
Xians were immortal, but they couldn’t resurrect indefinitely. Each resurrection drained their Celestial Court Fortune. Once it was exhausted, a minor setback would be a drop in cultivation, and a major one could cost them their immortal status. The Xians wouldn’t risk their lives for Grand Immortal Tai Xian to such an extent.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign nodded, the favorable situation lifting his spirits.
Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan also sensed something, his eyes widening in shock. "How is this possible! What kind of Qi is this?"
A power far exceeding his own was enveloping the Three Thousand Great Worlds, oppressing all living beings, including those in the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
"Which Heavenly Dao Sovereign is aiding Grand Immortal Tai Xian? Is this allowed?" Elder Immortal Ci Xuan exclaimed, feeling that it was unfair. They were finally turning the tide, and now a Heavenly Dao Sovereign was supporting Grand Immortal Tai Xian.
The Celestial Throne Struggle did not allow Heavenly Dao Sovereigns to intervene; the most important test was to rally mortal souls.
The Primordial Ancestor does not have the Celestial Court's Fortune, which falls within the rules.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign's expression grew grave as he said, "It's not a Supreme Being, but a Supreme Immortal, one of the most powerful among them."
"Dao Extreme Great Immortal!"
These five words hit Elder Immortal Ci Xuan like a hammer, silencing him. The rest of his words scattered in an instant.
The Dao Extreme Great Immortal is known as the limit of immortality. Beyond this, even if they still bear the name of an immortal, they have transcended the realm of immortals and are akin to the Great Dao itself.
Within the Celestial Court, the Dao Extreme Great Immortal is an immensely powerful being.
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan thought of those Dao Extreme Great Immortals who were still Supreme Immortals, and felt an overwhelming pressure wash over him.
These beings remained Supreme Immortals only because they lacked sufficient merit or had once chosen the wrong side. For various reasons, they became reclusive and unpredictable. Facing them, Elder Immortal Ci Xuan always felt like he was walking on a razor's edge.
After a long while, Elder Immortal Ci Xuan finally managed to ask, "Your Highness, will the Primordial Ancestor intervene against the Dao Extreme Great Immortal?"
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign did not answer. His pupils reflected the form of the Primordial Divine Sparrow.
The Primordial Divine Sparrow seemed unaware of the Dao Extreme Great Immortal's arrival and continued to advance. The Xianshen it encountered along the way scattered like countless stars, unable to impede its progress.
...
Within the Wu Shi Daoist Sect.
Gu An was still wandering. The Life Span warnings had stopped appearing before him, and now all the enemies attacking the Primordial Divine Sparrow were Xianshen, which left him somewhat disappointed.
"Even the Dao Extreme Great Immortal is getting involved in the Celestial Throne Struggle. It seems that no matter how powerful one is, there are times when one cannot see the bigger picture."
Gu An thought to himself. Although he did not hold the Dao Extreme Great Immortal in high regard, he still felt a sense of melancholy at seeing the great immortal take action.
In the Endless Dao Mountain, the Dao Extreme Great Immortal was a lofty existence, even Xianshen would come to listen to their teachings.
The Dao Extreme Great Immortal was supremely powerful, capable of traversing the past and future, even creating worlds. By all logic, such a being should have attained freedom. Why, then, would they involve themselves in great karma?
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign held the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade of the Heavenly Emperor. Could it be that Grand Immortal Tai Xian harbors a will to challenge the Heavenly Emperor?
It seems even the Dao Extreme Great Immortal of the Celestial Court cannot attain true freedom!
A figure appeared before Gu An, it was An Xing. Her eyes had transformed into the Immortal Emperor Vision, with deep, mysterious purple irises.
"Master, is a powerful enemy approaching?"
An Xing asked, frowning. She had been in seclusion, meditating on the Dao, but suddenly felt a presence that made her heart tremble. Her divine sense spread out, and she discovered that all living beings under heaven had felt it. Some were uneasy, some were terrified, and some were bewildered.
Gu An stopped and looked up, saying, "It's not targeting the Heavenly Spirit Great World. This person wants to control the Three Thousand Great Worlds."
"Who is this person, and why do they want to do this?"
"A Xianshen, likely here for the Celestial Throne Struggle."
Gu An's answer made An Xing's frown deepen.
Another Celestial Throne Struggle? How many years has it been, and why hasn't it ended?
Gu An's gaze pierced through the vast worlds and the void of the universe, reaching the Dark Void beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
The Three Thousand Great Worlds do not exist on the same plane or adjacent to each other; they are connected by a mysterious karma from different directions.
At that moment, a hand emerged from the darkness. It was a white, right hand, with a wide, long white sleeve below the wrist.
The hand slowly turned, palm facing forward, and began to push forward.
As the five fingers began to close, points of starlight appeared in the palm, countless and innumerable.
When the hand clenched into a fist, the heavenly dome of the Three Thousand Great Worlds suddenly darkened, turning day into night and making the night even darker.
An Xing, standing beside Gu An, was also startled by this scene. She instinctively looked at Gu An.
