Chapter 633: Chapter 504: Requesting the Heavenly Dao to Bestow the Saint Fruit Position_2

Within half a month’s time, they had already glimpsed the border between the Void and Chaos from afar.

"The Demon Clan is here!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun immediately sensed their approach.

He was the first to leave the Purple Cloud Palace, followed by Saint Taiqing and others, who emerged from their respective Traveling Palaces to stand on the boundary line, watching the Demon Clan forces rapidly approaching.

"Announce it to the Three Realms!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, looking at the densely packed figures of the Demon Clan, took a deep breath and spoke to Saint Taiqing.

Saint Taiqing nodded, and then an Order of Law was transmitted throughout the entirety of the Three Realms.

The Three Realms, just having settled for ten years, became busy once more due to an Order of Law.

"The Demon Clan is here!"

"The Demon Clan’s armies have arrived!"

Houtu, Phoenix, South Pole Elderly Immortal Gonggong, Judicial celestial God, and all Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms, arrived at Golden Turtle Island at the earliest opportunity.

It seemed only here could they make the most appropriate decisions.

Bird Cloud Immortal and others also gathered in the Biyou Palace, watching as more than forty figures, all Quasi-Saints, had assembled—a force much stronger than it had been a decade ago.

But the main seat remained vacant, leaving everyone without a shred of confidence.

They were like those accustomed to following Wang Yang’s arrangements. Without Wang Yang’s presence, they were disorganized in the Biyou Palace and utterly lacked any concrete ideas.

...

Meanwhile, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and the other six, seeing the Demon Clan army led by Daoist Yang Mei, felt waves of despair.

After all, the gap in strength was too vast, so great that they could not conceive of a way to counter it.

"Could it be that the Three Realms truly face destruction?"

Jieyin stared at the nine Saints at the forefront of the Demon Clan formation, and the over one hundred Demon Race Sages behind them, and said in a daze.

"Heavenly Dao, do you still wish to persist in this mistake?"

Hongjun, unwilling to accept this fate, exclaimed towards the heavens.

Alas, the Heavenly Dao gave no response.

...

"Dark Cloud Immortal Fellow Daoist, when can Daoist Wang Yang leave his retreat? The Demon Clan has already begun their assault; we must hurry and respond!"

Ancestor River Styx addressed Dark Cloud Immortal directly.

"Golden Spirit Holy Mother Fellow Daoist, how is Daoist Wang Yang doing now? If he doesn’t leave his retreat soon, what will we do?"

Phoenix asked anxiously.

It wasn’t just her; everyone present, including the inquired Dark Cloud Immortal and Golden Spirit Holy Mother, was on edge.

They were all waiting for Wang Yang, all wanting to know when Wang Yang would emerge from his retreat.

Yet frustratingly, despite the Great Dao permeating Golden Turtle Island and the Daoist Charm enveloping each person, the chamber remained sealed, showing no signs of opening.

Amidst Chaos, Saint Taiqing and the others looked puzzled at Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

After all, the Heavenly Dao had always been sacred in their hearts, yet Daoist Ancestor Hongjun claimed that the Heavenly Dao had erred.

This left them momentarily bewildered, uncertain why Hongjun would say such a thing, and unaware of what had transpired.

The Saints’ unusual reactions did not escape Hongjun’s notice.

However, given the current situation, there was no point in withholding information any longer, and he revealed the Heavenly Dao’s refusal to grant Wang Yang the Saint Fruit Position.

"Is this truly the will of the Heavenly Dao?"

Saint Taiqing’s face immediately turned pale, and his Daoist Heart nearly faltered.

"What use is respecting such a Heavenly Dao?"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect, undeterred by the irreverence of his words, spoke outright.

He had a close relationship with Wang Yang and, since the return from the Three Realms, had been waiting for Wang Yang to ascend to Saintliness.

Yet, throughout ten long years, the celestial Sect Leader had assumed Wang Yang was simply honing himself, never guessing that the true reason for his lack of progression was the Heavenly Dao withholding the Saint Fruit Position.

This revelation was something the celestial Sect Leader struggled to accept.

Jieyin and Zhunti remained silent, while the Yuanshi celestial Venerable clenched his fists, deep in thought.

Empress Nuwa sighed, but her gaze soon hardened, as if she had made up her mind about something.

Just then, the Demon Clan’s forces had reached the border.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun stepped out of Chaos and into the Void, coming face to face with Daoist Yang Mei.

Behind Daoist Ancestor Hongjun stood Saint Taiqing and others.

Despite their reluctance, this was not the time to dwell on personal grievances.

"Hongjun, today I lead the full might of my clan to assault the Three Realms. With just a few of you, how could you possibly stop us?"

Daoist Yang Mei, looking directly at Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, spoke while the Great Elder and the Supreme Elder took a step forward, exhibiting the power of Two-Step Saints.

"Yang Mei, do you truly desire mutual destruction? The Three Realms will never fall to your whims!"

Without a hint of fear, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun replied, knowing full well he was outmatched yet unwilling to back down.

"Ha ha, good, I’d like to see how your Three Realms are going to withstand the might of our Demon Clan’s armies!"

Daoist Yang Mei laughed heartily, signaling the forces behind him to attack with a wave of his hand.

Unexpectedly though, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and the Saints, including Saint Taiqing, collectively stepped back, retreating within the Three Realms Barrier.

It wasn’t as imagined, fighting together with the folks from the Demon Clan.

"Three Realms Barrier! Rise!"

Just as Daoist Yang Mei looked on in confusion, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun propped up Chaos, and at its edge, a layer of light screen appeared instantaneously.

The Second Elder, who led the attack, slapped his palm on the light screen, but the barrier remained unshaken, not to mention broken.

This made Yang Mei frown involuntarily, and he stepped forward to deliver a palm strike himself.

However, the result was the same as before; the light screen showed no change whatsoever.

"Yang Mei, this is prepared for you."

"The Three Realms Barrier can protect the entire Three Realms. Your desire to attack the Three Realms is undoubtedly a delusion!"

Hongjun took a deep breath and said to Daoist Yang Mei.

After speaking, he didn’t even glance back, leading Saint Taiqing and others back to the Purple Cloud Palace.

At the boundary, not a single person was left behind.

This kind of contempt made Yang Mei rage, and the entire Demon Clan attacked together, but to little effect.

It was only then that Yang Mei realized he had underestimated the barrier; its existence was definitely the greatest obstacle for the Demon Clan’s invasion of the Three Realms.

"This barrier should hold off the Demon Clan for three to five years, but after three to five years, we still won’t stand a chance!"

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the just recently light-hearted and confident Daoist Ancestor Hongjun sighed deeply upon his return.

"Ancestral Master, why not let Wang Yang achieve saintliness?"

"If Wang Yang becomes a saint, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Two-Step Saints, and by then, we might have a fighting chance!"

The celestial Sect Leader still wanted to fight for it.

"Ancestral Master, if things continue like this, the Three Realms are doomed."

"If we do not want to be conquered by the Demon Clan, our only option is to let Wang Yang achieve saintliness."

Saint Taiqing, with a grave expression, said to Hongjun.

Empress Nuwa and Yuanshi celestial Venerable simultaneously stepped forward to speak, but were stopped by Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

"I know what you want to say, but it’s not that I don’t want Wang Yang to achieve saintliness."

"If the Heavenly Dao doesn’t dare to grant Wang Yang the Saint Fruit Position, I can do nothing about it," said Hongjun with another sigh.

At the same time, six saints sighed.

This matter truly exceeded their expectations.

"Ancestral Master, I have something to say!"

It was at this moment that Zhunti suddenly stood out and spoke.

"Oh?"

Hongjun looked at Zhunti, puzzled.

"Since the Heavenly Dao does not allow Daoist Wang Yang to become a saint, then why should we still listen to the Heavenly Dao’s will?"

"Everything we do is to protect the Heavenly Dao, but if even the Heavenly Dao doesn’t help us, does what we do still hold any meaning?" Zhunti said.

"Nonsense, are you suggesting we give up?"

Jieyin glared at Zhunti angrily.

However, Zhunti did not retort but looked at Daoist Ancestor Hongjun with a faint smile on his lips.

After pondering for a while, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun looked at Zhunti and also revealed a smile.

"Let’s go, everyone follow me!"

Having said that, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun promptly left the Purple Cloud Palace.

The group, following Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, traversed through Chaos, but as they were all saints, they moved quickly.

In a short time, they arrived at the Origin Land.

"Open!"

With a series of Magical Laws cast, Hongjun directly opened up the Origin Land.

He led the others inside.

However, since Saint Taiqing and others could not pass through the Void Barrier, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun simply brought them to the edge of the Void Barrier.

"Beyond this Void Barrier, is the will of the Heavenly Dao!"

Hongjun said to Saint Taiqing and the others, and after speaking, he clasped his hands together and addressed the inside of the Void Barrier: "Hongjun requests the Heavenly Dao to bestow the Saint Fruit Position upon Wang Yang!"

"Tongtian requests the Heavenly Dao to bestow the Saint Fruit Position upon Wang Yang!"

The celestial Sect Leader spoke up directly, not caring whether Saint Taiqing was a Two-Step Saint or not.

"Taiqing requests the Heavenly Dao to bestow the Saint Fruit Position upon Wang Yang!"

"Yuanshi requests the Heavenly Dao to bestow the Saint Fruit Position upon Wang Yang!"

"Jieyin, Zhunti request the Heavenly Dao to bestow the Saint Fruit Position upon Wang Yang!"

"Nuwa requests the Heavenly Dao to bestow the Saint Fruit Position upon Wang Yang!"

The voices of several saints, like thunder, shook the heavens and the earth.

The Ancestral Master, accompanied by six saints, faced the Heavenly Dao, all to have the Heavenly Dao grant Wang Yang the Saint Fruit Position.
