Chapter 750: Chapter 322 Cutting Heaven (Subscription Wanted)_3

Emperor Jianyuan continued to fiddle with the Jade Seal in his hand, his voice leisurely, "So you mean to say that the disturbance in the Time Secret Realm is related to this person? Chu Rulai, in the Time Secret Realm, not only failed to eliminate this ’Blood Vengeance Candidate’ from the Formless Divine Sect but instead allowed him to discover the sword moves left by the Wood Sword Immortal in the secret realm, helping him to break free and ascend to godhood?"

Chu Rulai, on cue with the emperor’s summons, rushed in from outside.

Upon hearing these words, his heart chilled, and he lifted the hem of his robe, prostrating himself before the dais, "Your servant is incompetent and has failed the expectations of Your Majesty."

The Earth Court Commander in the hall bowed gravely, "The situation is probably as such, but as for the details, your servant is ignorant. May Your Majesty grant me a few days to investigate further.

Your Majesty! Ever since Qin Muge was forced out of the Formless Divine Sect over a decade ago, the sect has become particularly wary of the court, sweeping away nearly all the spies we had planted within. It is challenging to obtain any significant news. However, one thing is certain: we have grossly underestimated that Blood Vengeance Candidate."

Emperor Jianyuan scoffed, "Underestimated? On what basis did you underestimate him? The Formless Divine Sect would rather offer a sky-high price of three ’Divine Blood Sky-reaching Pills’ to acquire the ’Heaven and Earth Root’ than spend a trace of their resources on Chu Ming. Naturally, they have their reasons—"

As Emperor Jianyuan spoke, his gaze turned to Chu Rulai, showing not a hint of annoyance, "Come in. It’s not your fault; the incompetence lies with the Police Pool of Blood and the Imperial Palace’s Direct Supervisors."

Only then did Chu Rulai relax slightly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead before walking in from outside the hall.

Inside the hall, more beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of everyone present.

Nevertheless, Emperor Jianyuan continued to inquire of Chu Rulai, "Tell me, how is Chu Ming doing on Formless Divine Mountain? What is her current situation?"

"Not good!"

Chu Rulai responded, expressionless, "The Formless Divine Sect has little trust in her; she’s not even given the resources for a daily allowance, let alone converting her Cultivation. She’s usually pampered; I’m very worried."

No one knows a daughter better than her father.

He didn’t quite understand why the emperor had chosen Chu Ming when his own two legitimate sons also possessed imperial bloodlines and were both exceedingly talented, far more mature in their conduct than Chu Ming.

Chu Rulai could only guess there was some kind of inevitable reason.

"Then spend the money to convert it for her. The matter of Blood Vengeance is of great importance; there is no need to be stingy."

Before the emperor’s words even finished, Chu Rulai showed a troubled look on his face.

His eyebrows lifted slightly, "What, the Chu family can’t come up with the money?"

Chu Rulai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you know the situation of our Chu family. The former head hid a vast fortune before his death, and up to now, I haven’t been able to locate these assets. If we need to come up with this money for Chu Ming, we must sell our medicinal fields and even the secret realms."

That would be a rather unprofitable transaction; these medicinal fields and secret realms were the foundation of the Western Capital Chu Family, sustaining the livelihood of thousands of Martial Cultivators in their clan.

And at this time, they wouldn’t fetch a good price either.

"—Moreover, I’m also concerned that after investing so much in Ming’er, we might end up with nothing."

The emperor let out a laugh of disbelief and placed the Jade Seal on the table, "No wonder you’re worried, but actually, this isn’t up to the Formless Divine Sect. I have ways to ensure that she acquires the complete Blood Vengeance Inheritance.

However, it’s true that the Chu family is out of funds. So be it, the Treasury will supply the funds for you. Once you find the money reserved by Chu Fengge, return it to the Treasury according to the common borrowing terms of the civilian sector."

Chu Rulai’s expression brightened with immense gratitude, "Your servant thanks Your Majesty for your generous grace!"

In his heart, however, he was full of questions. How could the emperor have means to make the Formless Divine Sect acquiesce to his will and grant the Blood Vengeance Inheritance to Chu Ming?

Yet the emperor swept his sleeve aside, "If you’re truly grateful to me, take Ming’er’s matter to heart and see it properly managed."

At this moment, his expression suddenly turned stern, and his gaze became as sharp as blades and spears, looking at the people in the hall, "Back to the main point, with the Wood Sword Immortal breaking free and ascending to godhood, big changes are bound to happen in You State. Let’s hear it, how should the court respond? And how should I respond?"

The atmosphere in the hall turned even chillier, with everyone, except for the State Preceptor, wearing a heavy expression.

Chu Rulai was no exception, his brows furrowed deeply.

It was on his way to the Imperial Palace that he learned of the Wood Sword Immortal’s breakthrough and godhood.

Chu Rulai contemplated how this matter would not only cause significant changes in You State but also have a profound impact on the entire world.

Take the Iron Banner Gang in East State, for example.

Chu Rulai had already prepared official documents ordering Six Gates and the East State Inspection Department to revisit Sikong Chan’s treason case.

But now, he found himself unable to dispatch this document.

Even if it were sent, East State would push it back.

The people of East State would not jeopardize their careers and certainly would not take the risk of offending the Formless Divine Sect to exonerate Sikong Chan.

Even the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Six Gates, who resented Chu Xisheng to the core, would proceed with more caution.

They wanted to capture Chu Xisheng, but they faced more than just the Formless Divine Sect.

Behind him stood a deity capable of contending with the Ancient Divine Candle Time!

What price should the Vermilion Bird Hall pay to take this person down?

The most troubling of course was the North, which could result in the Son of Heaven’s arrangements for over a decade going down the drain.

In the past, the Wood Sword Immortal was just a Super-grade Sword Immortal, yet he had protected the Taiwei Constellation’s Qi Fortune from decline for over ten thousand years.

Now that He has escaped entrapment and ascended to divinity, His life expectancy became infinite, no longer troubled by the counts of calamities.

He possessed limitless Time to ensure the undying inheritance of the Formless Divine Sect.

Even after ascension, being unable to remain in the Mortal World, such a deity capable of matching Divine Candle Time had ways to interfere in the Mortal World!

How could those forces in the North inclined towards the court not worry? Those considering defection from the Formless Divine Sect would also have second thoughts.

And the attitudes of the various sects and factions in the Northern lands towards both the Formless Divine Sect and the court would inevitably change.

However, Chu Rulai could not think of any countermeasures.

This was an overwhelming tide of events, unblockable by human efforts unless the court could also gain a Wood Sword Immortal.

At this moment, the oldest eunuch kneeling at the bottom of the steps suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, this servant wishes to know, just now Your Majesty clearly intended to intervene, why suddenly give up? What kind of Heavenly Rules is the Eternal Dao that Wood Sword Immortal drew from the Time River, which made you withdraw the ’Nine Dragon Divine Sky Guard’ repeatedly, and even forced those Ancient Giant Gods hidden in the Mortal World not dare to show themselves to block their edge?"

Chu Rulai’s thoughts were stirred.

He too was curious about this matter.

It turned out that Emperor Jianyuan withdrew the ’Nine Dragon Divine Sky Guard’ from You State not merely because of concerns regarding the Formless Divine Sect.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan rubbed his forehead, his tone containing self-mockery, "How could I dare to block? His Eternal Dao is Cutting, the Heaven-cutting Dao!"

Chu Rulai’s expression changed dramatically.

The expressions of everyone in the palace changed again.

This person’s Eternal Dao was actually Cutting Heaven!

It was the Cutting of severing, the Cutting of striking, the Cutting of breaking, the Cutting of intercepting!

This was one of the most powerful Heavenly Rules in the world, and since ancient times, only three had ascended using it.

In their lifetimes, they were all at the pinnacle of combat power among deities.

"Your Majesty! The ascension of Wood Sword Immortal will indeed shake the world’s circumstances, causing great changes," the State Preceptor said, his eyes half-closed, as he suddenly spoke. He looked intently at Emperor Jianyuan, "However, there is another matter that will threaten the safety of the court, one that Your Majesty cannot overlook."

The Emperor, as if deep in thought, responded, "Are you referring to the Sea Clan?"

"Recently for some unknown reason, the Sea Clan has been frequently restless. According to reports from the Earth Court Jin Yiwei, they have repeatedly sent masters ashore to investigate local defenses and the geographical features of the land."

The State Preceptor spoke with a cold voice, "A few days ago, my main body went to the East Sea to inspect and discovered some ominous signs. I suspect that Wen Zhiyi, the lord of the Extreme East Ice City, may awaken soon."

"Wen Zhiyi of One Sword Overturning City?"

Veins throbbed on the Emperor’s forehead, followed by a light chuckle, "This really is trouble piling up. May I ask if the State Preceptor has any advice for me?"

At this moment, the State Preceptor flicked his sleeve, producing a surge of overwhelming Mana, expelling everyone from the palace.

This Mana was exceptionally domineering, rivaling Martial Cultivation Gang Power.

But Chu Rulai’s cultivation was strong enough to withstand it, at the Second Grade.

Yet, he had a thought, and allowed the Mana to propel him out of the palace.

Not until everyone had left did the State Preceptor, with a grave expression, say, "Now, there is only one strategy that can resolve the crisis of North and South, and aid Your Majesty in achieving your desires."

He spoke with a resonant voice, enunciating each word, "Your Majesty might consider, triggering the Northern Demon Calamity ahead of time."

Boom!

In that instant, thunder split the sky above the Imperial Palace, countless furiously thunderbolting down from the clouds, creating bursts of roaring explosions.
