Chapter 687 - 687 706 Hidden Dangers of the Heavenly Court

687: Chapter 706: Hidden Dangers of the Heavenly Court 687: Chapter 706: Hidden Dangers of the Heavenly Court Nuwa Palace!

Radiant auras in a thousand strands, cascading ripples everywhere, the space itself was slightly distorted, and an invisible, oppressive atmosphere was burgeoning, suffocating anyone within it.

Nuwa’s delicate brows were tightly furrowed, her aura utterly chaotic, clearly deeply unsettled by the requests of the two Heavenly Emperors.

Though she wished to refuse, in the end, she simply couldn’t.

In ancient times, Primordial Master Hong Jun had issued a stern decree that Saints must not emerge into the world, nor should they intervene in matters of the Three Realms.

And yet, now she was to be the first to defy this edict from Primordial Master Hong Jun.

She did not wish to do so, but was utterly without recourse.

The debt of a Saint must be repaid, Nuwa understood this principle deeply, and thus she could only agree to the two Heavenly Emperors, thus repaying the favor from long ago.

To rally the countless members of the Demon Race and herald the resurgence of the Ancient Demon Court, Nuwa had to personally issue the Dharma Decree, announcing its return to the Three Realms.

The task seemed simple, but it also meant that Nuwa was firmly tied to the chariot of the Demon Race, inevitably leading to far too many troubles in the future.

Knowing the undying enmity between the Ancient Demon Court and Witch Clan was worrisome enough for Nuwa; should the catastrophe of the ancient Witch-Demon War recur, she feared she might be implicated once more.

“Master, as a high and exalted Saint, you could have completely refused the two Heavenly Emperors.

Why seek out trouble and entangle yourself with the Demon Race?”

Having followed Nuwa in cultivation for tens of thousands of years, Xue Fengge had attained the status of a Daluo Golden Immortal and was deeply favored by Nuwa, prompting her to probe.

“Fengge, when you reach the Quasi-Saint Realm one day, you’ll understand that the cycle of cause and effect is the supreme principle of Heaven and Earth.

As a Saint, I must adhere to the principle of cause and effect and naturally cannot refuse them,” Nuwa sighed softly.

“But, Master, have you forgotten?

There is already a Heavenly Court among the Three Realms.

If you personally intervene to rally the countless members of the Ancient Demon Court, then which of the two Heavenly Courts is the orthodox one?”

“Moreover, you should know, Master, that the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden has married into the Heavenly Court and has even been conferred the position of Queen Mother.

Although Heavenly Emperor Ye might not compare to the two Great Demon Emperors, he has the support of the Heavenly Sect Hierarch behind him.

Considering the complexity of this relationship…!”

Before Xue Fengge could finish, Nuwa’s brow furrowed, causing Xue Fengge to halt her speech, clearly aware that Nuwa knew the severity of these matters.

“Fengge, what you say is true, but some matters are beyond my control.

By helping them this time, I shall consider my debts to them paid,” Nuwa sighed with resignation.

“But…”

Xue Fengge’s expression shifted slightly, about to voice her dissuasion, but before she could speak further, Nuwa had already disappeared into the void, not giving her the chance to continue.

“Fengge, practice your cultivation in peace here at Nuwa Palace.

I am off to Biyou Palace,” Nuwa’s voice echoed in Xue Fengge’s ears as she had long gone.

As Nuwa departed, Xue Fengge’s eyebrows knit together tightly, a sharp gleam of determination flashing across her eyes.

Her hands formed a mysterious gesture, and she sat down in the Nuwa Palace, seemingly in communication with some mysterious figure.

…

Thirty-Three Layered Heaven!

The once-dilapidated Heavenly Court, under the tarnishing hands of Da Yi, now shimmered anew, with the rebuilding of the Dou Niu Palace and Lingxiao Hall.

Order and discipline had once again been restored to the court.

Lingxiao Hall!

Ye Xuan sat upon the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, while the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden gracefully occupied the Phoenix Seat, with the courtiers of the Heavenly Court seated below them.

Every individual present in the Lingxiao Hall was a key figure wielding real power within the Heavenly Court, a majority being immortals from the Jie Sect, with the rest comprising numerous Demon Kings.

Ever since Ye Xuan took the throne, he indeed fulfilled his promises of old, not only empowering the Group of Immortals from the Jie Sect within the Heavenly Court but also allowing them to spread their teachings throughout the four great continents of the Earth Immortal Realm, showing burgeoning signs of becoming the foremost great sect across the Three Realms.

Meanwhile, the lineage of the Chan Sect was thoroughly suppressed by Ye Xuan, countless Daoist traditions destroyed, all shadowed by his influence.

The Chan Sect could be said to have fallen from grace, currently struggling to survive.

Had it not been founded by Yuanshi Tianzun, it might have long since vanished into the ether of Heaven and Earth.

The Jie Sect flourished, with immortals gathering at its court, and everything was progressing in a positive direction.

The immortals of the Jie Sect eagerly accepted many disciples, suggesting that after tens of thousands of years, the Jie Sect would likely regain its former glory.

Shen Gongbao bowed respectfully, saying, “Your Majesty personally led the battle against the Witch Clan and even killed Da Yi, the prime culprit, revitalizing the authority of our Heavenly Court.

However, the Witch Clan is not to be trifled with, and I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do next.”

“The Witch Clan boasts the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches, whom only Saints can subdue.

Virtually no one in this Heaven and Earth dares to oppose them.

Now that the Heavenly Court is locked in an inevitable struggle with the Witch Clan, I fear that things will not end so simply,” added the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, voicing her concerns.

“Have both Daoist friends forgotten?

The Witch Clan may have the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches, but behind us stands not only the Heavenly Emperor but also The Three Pure Ones, the Heavenly Sect Master, and what’s more, the mentor of the Mysterious Maiden is Nuwa herself.

Should the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches truly bring conflict upon us, I dare say the two Saints would not sit idly by,” spoke the Peng Demon in a deep voice, bowing before Ye Xuan, then cautiously added, “Yet, besides the Ancestor Witches, there are twelve Ancient Witches still alive in the Witch Clan, Chi You is merely one of them.

If you, Heavenly Emperor, are not in the Heavenly Court, I fear…”

The Peng Demon trailed off, leaving his words hanging, but without his need to elaborate further, everyone understood his implication.

It was clear that, at this moment, the Heavenly Court was without a Quasi-Saint to hold the fort; if the Ancient Witches of the Witch Clan were to attack, the court would likely face another great calamity.

As the words of Peng Demon echoed through the Lingxiao Hall, other immortals nodded slowly, a hint of gravity in their eyes.

Although they knew the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches had not yet reemerged, the Ancient Witches of the Witch Clan remained formidable, and future conflicts seemed inevitable.

Seated on the throne, Ye Xuan’s expression remained composed.

He was well aware of the thoughts of the immortals, and indeed, the Heavenly Court faced a grave issue.

Quasi-Saints!

The lack of a Quasi-Saint was a significant problem for the Heavenly Court, and an urgent matter for Ye Xuan to address.

Without him in the Heavenly Court, how would they defend against an attack by a Quasi-Saint?

Qiankun Heaven and Earth, the Three Realms so vast, the most fearsome lineages within these realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity were not from the Chan and Jie Sects, but from three particular lineages—or rather, clans.

There is no need to say much about the Witch Clan.

With the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches born from Pangu’s Essence Blood, the clan even claims descent from Pangu, each member possessing terrifying combat power.

The Ancient Demon Court, with two Great Demon Emperors, and the ancient horde of demons represent the core of the second great lineage—the Demon Race.

The last lineage is the Underworld!

The Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Palaces Yama, the literary and martial Judges, Black and White Impermanence, Oxhead and Horseface—what seem like the regular components of the Underworld must not overshadow the fact that it controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Wang River, and the Netherworld.

With legions of Yin Soldiers and countless Ghost Immortals and Daluo beings, there are not a few who stand within the Quasi-Saint Realm.
