Chapter 735: 754

Minghe Ancestor spoke and turned to leave the Heavenly Court, but before he could take three steps, Ye Xuan’s cold voice quietly rose from behind him.

“Daoist is leaving just like that, don’t you want the Hongmeng Purple Qi anymore?”

“Hmm?”

Minghe Ancestor suddenly turned back, his eyes flashing a fierce light, and said, “So the Hongmeng Purple Qi is indeed in your hands.”

Buzz!

Sealing the heavens and locking the earth, isolating all directions, Ye Xuan gestured with his hands, directly shielding the Turquoise Pool and preventing anyone from probing into what was happening inside.

The void swayed, and the waves bloomed, as Hongmeng Purple Qi quietly appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand, emitting a bewildering light that dazzled the eyes.

“Bring the Hongmeng Purple Qi here.”

Boom!

The void exploded, roars echoing continuously, and when the Hongmeng Purple Qi appeared in front of Minghe Ancestor, it made his face flush extremely red as he violently attacked Ye Xuan.

Bang!

Fist clashed against palm, the sky and the earth turned upside down, and the vast Turquoise Pool trembled wildly, with spatial cracks appearing across the void, demonstrating the terrifying force of the clash between the two.

Swoosh!

Minghe Ancestor was sent flying back, and Ye Xuan still held the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand; it was clearly impossible for Minghe Ancestor to snatch it.

“Ye Xuan, give me the Hongmeng Purple Qi.”

Minghe Ancestor’s angry scream echoed, and blood burst forth around him, with the rolling Netherworld Blood Sea condition arising and a dreadful killing intent locking on Ye Xuan.

“Minghe, do you think you can take the Hongmeng Purple Qi from me?” Ye Xuan had no aura emanating, and his voice was calm and unrippled.

As Ye Xuan finished speaking, Minghe Ancestor’s face alternated between clear and dark expressions, and he gasped heavily, only gradually dispersing the energy around him after dozens of breaths.

“What do you want?” Minghe Ancestor asked coldly.

Evidently, Minghe Ancestor knew that forcefully taking the Hongmeng Purple Qi was unrealistic; he had only taken action against Ye Xuan in a moment of agitation, but he had now regained his senses and forced himself to calm down.

Minghe Ancestor clearly understood that he had just bid farewell to leave, but Ye Xuan himself had brought out the Hongmeng Purple Qi; to say he had no purpose, Minghe Ancestor absolutely did not believe it.

“I can lend you the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and if you can become a Saint with it, that would also be your opportunity,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

“Speak, what are your conditions?”

Minghe Ancestor wasn’t foolish enough to believe that Ye Xuan would lend him the Hongmeng Purple Qi for nothing, prompting his deep voice to ask.

“I enjoy dealing with smart people, and Daoist Minghe is a smart person.”

Ye Xuan smiled and nodded, then walked up to Minghe Ancestor, his lips curving into a sly smile, and his eyes looking directly at Minghe Ancestor as he said, “My condition is simple; I want you to lead the Asura Clan to join the Heavenly Court, and henceforth, the Netherworld Blood Sea will be part of the Heavenly Court’s sect.”

“Impossible!”

As soon as Ye Xuan’s words fell, Minghe Ancestor’s face changed drastically, directly refuting without hesitation.

“Ye Xuan, don’t delude yourself. After the Demon Gathering, the Ancient Demon Court will wage war against the Heavenly Court, and you also killed tens of thousands of the Witch Clan members; the Witch Clan will not let you go. If I were to lead the Asura Clan to join the Heavenly Court, wouldn’t that be seeking death?”

Minghe Ancestor roared coldly, his face growing extraordinarily uncomfortable, clearly an impossible condition for him to accept. If he really did agree to Ye Xuan, it would undoubtedly be dooming the lineage of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

“Ha ha!”

Ye Xuan laughed. He truly laughed, but his smile was exceedingly cold, and his gaze toward Minghe Ancestor also gradually became indifferent.

“Minghe, think about it, to exchange the future of your Asura Clan for a chance to become a Saint; you would be getting a good deal.”

Ye Xuan was talking to himself, the Hongmeng Purple Qi bobbing in his palm, its muzzy purple glow stabbing into Minghe Ancestor’s eyes, making his breathing hasten, unable to shift his gaze away from the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

“No, absolutely not.”

Minghe Ancestor clenched his fists tightly, trembling slightly as he muttered; although the Hongmeng Purple Qi was very important to him, betting on the future of the Netherworld Blood Sea lineage was causing him great struggle.

“Think about it, to become a Saint! If you became a Saint, you would sit equal to the six Great Saints. Even if the Asura Clan were to be wiped out, so what?”

Like a devil’s whisper, like a demon’s temptation, Ye Xuan’s voice was filled with a bewitching power that dizzied the soul. He didn’t use any seductive spell, just stating an ironclad fact.

“Minghe, after these endless ages, besides becoming a Saint, are other things really that important to you?”

“Moreover, you must not forget that although the Ancient Demon Court is powerful and has Nuwa backing it, my Heavenly Court also has four Quasi-Saints. As long as Nuwa does not make a move, it won’t be easy for Donghuang Taiyi to annihilate my Heavenly Court.”

Ye Xuan was slowly persuading him, deliberately allowing Minghe Ancestor to stare at the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand; this was an extreme temptation for Minghe Ancestor.

“The Ancient Demon Court is not as simple as you think. Let’s not even talk about Emperor Jun, he masters all the Supreme Secret Methods of the Demon Race, and his great divine power is unmatched; and Donghuang Taiyi, wielding the Chaos Bell, is even more terrifying and said to have All Method Immunity, unbeatable by anyone.”

“Moreover, under the two Demon Emperors, all the Ancient Demons are Golden Immortals, with dozens of them being Quasi-Saints. This power is simply something your Heavenly Court cannot withstand.”

“What’s more important is, you should know that the Ancient Demon Court possesses one of the strongest three main formations between Heaven and Earth, the Celestial Stars Formation. When this formation is activated, even Saints must beware.”

“Given that Nuwa Saint has declared to the Three Realms, with billions of the Demon Race rallying to the Ancient Demon Court, what capacity do you, Ye Xuan, have to resist the Ancient Demon Court?”

Although Minghe Ancestor was extremely covetous of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he was not foolish, nor was his mind blinded by greed. Being a Quasi-Saint of the Primordial Era, how could he not be aware of the terror of the Ancient Demon Court?

“The Celestial Stars Formation?”

Faced with the questioning from Minghe Ancestor, Ye Xuan uttered in a grave whisper, unable even to refute.

The Celestial Stars Formation was something Donghuang Taiyi comprehended from the Innate Spiritual Treasure River Map and Luo Book. It combined the powers of three hundred and sixty-five celestial stars and further used the Taiyang Star and Taiyin Star as the formation’s eyes, incredibly deep and permeated with killing intent.

Three hundred and sixty-five Celestial Stars, then a hundred and eighty thousand great stars, including the North Star, Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, and the South Pole Star, Southern Dipper Six Stars, as well as the West Dipper Four Stars, East Dipper Three Stars, and the Central Dipper Five Stars — essentially stars from all five directions.

Furthermore, it included the Twenty-Eight Mansions, a hundred and eight Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha stars, Nine Luminaries, and stars of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and so forth.

Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi picked three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods, each at the peak of Daluo. Three hundred and sixty-five Golden Immortals plus Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, two Quasi-Saints, along with Ancient Demons, perhaps even a Saint would find it hard to obtain a good outcome.

The Celestial Stars Formation is a miraculous array across the primordial times, only comparable to the Twelve Dutian Gods and Demons Formation and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Setting this formation required making three hundred and sixty-five Great Cycle Star Banners corresponding to the three hundred and sixty-five main celestial stars, then fourteen thousand eight hundred Minor Cycle Star Banners corresponding to the fourteen thousand eight hundred secondary stars, and with the power of the Ancient Demons, each representing a star, it formed the tremendously powerful Celestial Stars Formation.

Three hundred and sixty-five Great Cycle Star Banners as roots, fourteen thousand eight hundred Minor Cycle Star Banners as trunks, and Ancient Demons as branches and leaves, with the power of Celestial Stars interconnected, one could imagine its tremendous power and might.

Star Banners, whether the Great Cycle Main Banners or Minor Cycle Sub-Banners, each was entirely unique and corresponded to different stars.

The Celestial Stars Formation was the battle array of the Ancient Heavenly Court, closest to the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

This formation, unlike others such as the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation or the Ten Extremes Formation, which formed their own formation spaces and isolated all mysteries of heaven from the outside.

This formation, however, had no formation space of its own. Yet, it could lock down everyone under its range, and those trapped by it, no matter the divine skills one possessed, could not escape the fall of starlight.

This formation merged with the outer space, summoning the star power of the Celestial Universe, the might of countless stars, powerful enough to destroy Heaven and smash Earth.

Why did the Jie Sect’s Immortal leave? Why did the Heavenly Sect Master affirm that Heavenly Court was headed towards destruction?

It was because the Heavenly Sect Master knew the foundation of the Ancient Demon Court well, something that Ye Xuan simply couldn’t resist.

“How about it, scared now?”

Minghe Ancestor sneered continuously, his eyes still fixed on the Hongmeng Purple Qi, obviously very reluctant to part with it without obtaining it.

“Scared?”

Ye Xuan’s thoughts turned, a ferocious smile curling upon his lips, he said, “Nothing in this Heaven and Earth has ever frightened this Emperor.”

“Since Daoist Minghe is unwilling to lead the Netherworld Blood Sea lineage to join my Heavenly Court, then this Emperor will not see you out.”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan slowly began to gather up the Hongmeng Purple Qi, yet he did it at an incredibly slow pace, his eyes showing a hint of a strange color.

At this moment, Minghe Ancestor’s face turned purplish with extremity, his eyes dead fixed on the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Ye Xuan’s hands, showing great hesitation, where was the mockery he had for Ye Xuan just moments ago?

Clearly, Ye Xuan was pressuring Minghe Ancestor, forcing him to make a decision, and even gambling the future of the Netherworld Blood Sea lineage.

Either join the Heavenly Court, borrowing the Hongmeng Purple Qi to comprehend and potentially become a Saint, solving all problems.
