Chapter 369 - Rebuilding the Heaven Court
Chapter 369: Rebuilding the Heaven Court
Jiang Ming’s strength stunned all of the experts.
However, the power of the ten great ancient races also caused fear to many forces who were present.
They were particularly afraid of Chong Shan, who was already at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Sage Realm. He was even equipped with Dao vessels unknown to others.
However, this Heavenly Emperor avatar’s heart was filled with unprecedented murderous intent right this very moment.
He didn’t understand how Jiang Ming knew about his identity. Even the true identity of Immortal Venerate Tai Yin wasn’t hidden from him.
Could he have seen something irregular from my indistinct connection with Immortal Venerate Tai Yin from time to time? Could it be that he in fact, didn’t really know about my secrets?
Chong Shan didn’t dare to gamble.
This plan of his had been in place since ancient times. The resources expended were countless. Hence, he couldn’t allow any variables to his plan.
From Immortal Venerate Tai Yin’s remark, Chong Shan understood that this was a chance given for him to step down from the skirmish.
He couldn’t make a move for now. Absolutely not!
However, such a chance for him to take a step back was still insufficient.
Chong Shan’s expression was stone cold. He telepathically transmitted his thought over to Xue Bing and the likes. “We re-emerge into the world in order to attain the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Even if we can’t contest it, we must still become one of the strongest forces in this world, to reap the resources of the infinite realms in hope of advancing further!”
“You’ve also seen the situation in front of us! If we break into a war with Jiang Ming, unless you have the ability to protect yourself, every one of you might die! Even if we look at this positively, more than half of you will die.”
......
“From the chain reaction effect of the detonation of Venerate Dao Vessels, it doesn’t matter if there’s any defensive special ability, spatial energy or Dao of time. They will all be useless!”
“If we really reach such a point, the purpose of our trip this time will be completely failed. This might even attract the attention of several major forces such as the Fo Sect. It is very likely that they will take this opportunity to besiege us!”
“My opinion is to temporarily let Jiang Ming go this time and seek another opportunity. I will set up a great formation array to refine and destroy his whole Tianyuan Realm.”
“Then, we will kill all the human race’s experts that are above the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm. We will leave no one alive and also deter the world with this.”
“Everyone, what do you think?”
Chong Shan transmitted his voice with his primal spirit swiftly.
Xue Bing and other Venerates were silent.
Although Shi Kuang was not of their clan, they were of the same spirit. Now that he was killed, they would definitely take revenge and go on a killing spree according to their temperament.
However, the current situation was just like what Chong Shan had mentioned. They shouldn’t break into a battle now or both sides will end up badly injured. It might also lead to the joint encirclement and suppression of the Demon Holy Palace and other forces. If that was to happen, could they ward them off?
It was likely that it would end with genocide.
“It is imperative that we kill him after this whole incident. We must kill all the humans of the Tianyuan Realm, kill every single one of them!” Xue Bing replied, ‘But there must be a time limit to this. If this goes by for too long, we will become the laughing stock for others!”
“Brother Chong Shan, how about a hundred years’ time?” Niu Er suggested.
“Alright! The time limit is 100 years. When the time comes, we will discuss among ourselves, dispatch our forces together and directly finish him off. Even if he is able to detonate Dao vessels, we will let him blow himself up!” Chong Shan nodded and made a decision.
Such a conversation between them was completed in a mere breath of time.
Chong Shan’s face was gloomy. He glanced around and looked at Immortal Venerable Tai Yin. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have analyzed the pros and cons to the situation and then said, “Fellow Daoist Tai Yin, with such a remark from you, I’ll have to respect you for this! After all, Shi Kuang was the one who was wrong. However, the seed of hatred that has been planted cannot be so easily erased. We will not discuss this as of now but will continue with this later on.”
Chong Shan looked at Jiang Ming and continued, “If you can’t give me an explanation for this, then we will be mortal enemies from now on!”
“So be it!” Jiang Ming replied without hesitation.
As Jiang Ming stared back at Chong Shan with eyes glistening. It was as though there was another meaning behind his stare that caused them to be even more afraid.
“Alright!” Chong Shan nodded his head heavily, and looked over at Yu Fei, Heavenly Buddha and other experts, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s now discuss the position as the Heavenly Emperor! We do not recognize the last Heavenly Emperor’s preposition on handing over the position and I believe that all of you do not recognize it either. Currently, the Heavenly Emperor is dead, the Heaven Court is in shambles, the soldiers and the generals of the Heaven Court have almost been completely wiped out, if not severely injured. The current state is like a cloud of smoke, attributed to the vicissitudes of history.”
“The past has been buried. Now, how to designate the present? How do we plan for the future? The present is our present, and the future is our future!”
Chong Shan announced eloquently, rejecting everything of the past.
“Of course!” Vermillion Bird was the first to agree.
She was long tired of Yu Fei. What’s more, she also had her own ambitions. She also wanted to have a go at the position of the Heavenly Emperor.
“What you just said is very true!” Dragon Monarch also nodded in agreement
There were some other Venerates who also followed suit and agreed to Chong Shan’s notion. After all, no one wanted the Heavenly Emperor that domineers over them to be someone that originated from the Abyss and that it would be a devil, a female devil who would sleep with anyone in the infinite worlds. If she were to ascend onto the position, everyone would panic.
Yu Fei was extremely angry at their notion, but there was nothing that she could do.
‘God damn it! If it weren’t for the so-called Ten Great Ancient Races, I would almost be sure to have attained the position!’ She was fuming with anger.
As she then looked over at Jiang Ming again, thoughts rapidly ran through her mind.
“In that case, who should sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor then?” Yu Fei suppressed the many thoughts in her mind and suddenly asked the question loudly.
As her voice fell, there was a moment of silence.
Now that the Heaven Court had fallen, any other experts would be unwilling for anyone to take on the Heavenly Emperor’s position.
“In that case, what if...” Jiang Ming suddenly smiled and said, “We’ll just maintain the current situation! The Heaven Court has fallen, while the soldiers and generals of the Heaven Court are almost completely wiped out as well. Based on the current situation, there’s the Demon Holy Palace, Fo Sect, Dragon Clan, Moon Palace, Infinite Being Palace, Taishang Sword Sect, the 10 ancient races and more. With all of them having peerless experts looking over them, how would any of them be willing to allow the others to take over the throne? It’s better for everyone to govern their forces independently until the emergence of a peerless expert who can suppress all the other experts of the world. From then off, the Heaven Court can be rebuilt!”
“This is a good proposal!” Dragon Monarch’s golden eyes were suddenly gleaming with infinite luminance.
The Dragon Clan were of deep and terrifying background.
Although the Dragon Clan had never been any Saint Lords, it was obvious that they were not of the ordinary considering that the clan was able to become one of the top forces in the world.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea!” Great Monarch Tian Song shook his head in disagreement. “If everyone becomes independent, there will no longer be any order and the final result will be infinite chaos and bloodshed.”
“What fellow Taoist Tian Song said is right!” Chong Shan responded. “Being the Venerates ourselves, when we want to maintain the order of heaven and earth, to uphold justice and also to create an environment with basic fairness and laws, there is nothing more suitable than through the Heaven Court! The Heaven Court must be rebuilt, not only for all the living souls, but also for ourselves.”
“After all...” He took a glance at Riyue Changfeng, “The Chaos is vast and there are many realms as well. If our world were to be in chaos and were to face an invasion, how could we even stop it from happening?”
“As expected of my fellow Taoist to be able to have such profound views and thoughts!” Immortal Venerable Tai Yin exclaimed in admiration, “On behalf of the Moon Palace lineage, I would like to express our agreement to the notion of rebuilding the Heaven Court!”
“On behalf of Infinite Being Palace, I concur with the rebuilding of the Heaven Court!” Great Monarch Tian Song agreed at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, some other Venerates from small forces and some idle Venerates also expressed their agreement towards the notion.
From their perspective, it would be easier for them to mingle when there were orders. Otherwise, anyone could be bullied just like that within a chaotic state.
Jiang Ming remained quiet as he watched from the sidelines. He knew that the Heaven Court would definitely be rebuilt. This was because it was all part of Tai Yuan’s plan.
