Chapter 629: The Determination of the Daoist Gate Saints, Massive Changes in the Yao Race [Third Update, requesting monthly votes]

Venerable Xuandu spoke, "There is no need to worry about the matter of Great Scattered Heaven anymore. Regardless of whether he can ultimately join Han Jue's sect, you must absolutely not suppress him."

There were only Saints from the Three Sects of the Daoist Gate within the hall, which could be considered a small circle within the circle of Saints.

Even if the legs of Jie Sect, Human Sect, and Chan Sect were broken, their roots remained connected.

Antarctic Celestial Venerable nodded and said, "I understand. No matter what, Han Jue is on good terms with us."

Although the Hidden Sect was expanding rapidly, Antarctic Celestial Venerable was still full of Favorability toward Han Jue.

The power pattern of the Immortal Realm was ultimately just petty squabbling. Even if the Hidden Sect single-handedly controlled the Immortal Realm, they wouldn't care. To all living beings, a tribulation was a disaster, but to Saints, it was merely a game of chess.

In a chess game, having wins and losses was truly normal.

"Let's talk about Fang Liang. Why did he look for you?" Venerable Xuandu asked.

Ever since coming to the Heavenly Dao, he had become increasingly humane, lacking his initial coldness.

Sect Master Tianjue said, "Fang Liang was probing our relationship with the Guixu Divine Realm."

Antarctic Celestial Venerable nodded.

Venerable Xuandu narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you think?"

Neither of the two Saints was a fool; naturally, they understood Fang Liang's meaning.

Ever since the fall of the Dark Holy Monarch, they had harbored grievances toward the Guixu Divine Realm, but dared to be angry without daring to speak out.

"Senior, you speak first!" Antarctic Celestial Venerable said in a deep voice.

Sect Master Tianjue's gaze was also fixed tightly on Venerable Xuandu.

Venerable Xuandu understood their meaning. The two Saints did not dare to act recklessly and needed someone to take the lead.

Thinking of this, Venerable Xuandu said, "I was sent by the Human Sect to manage the Heavenly Dao, and logically I should listen to the Human Sect. However, I was originally born within the Heavenly Dao. I hope the Heavenly Dao is not influenced by things outside the Dao, I hope the Heavenly Dao grows freely, and even more so, I do not wish to see anyone trying to destroy the Heavenly Dao. No matter who it is, if they dare to do so, I will surely make an enemy of them. Even if my body and soul are annihilated, I will never regret it."

His tone was very heavy, even making one feel hysterical.

Antarctic Celestial Venerable and Sect Master Tianjue were startled. They were merely probing; they hadn't expected Venerable Xuandu's resolve to be so great.

The two Saints exchanged glances. Sect Master Tianjue gritted his teeth and said, "We were also born within the Heavenly Dao, and at the beginning of becoming Saints, we also had great ambitions, yet…"

Before the Dao Ancestor disappeared, the Heavenly Dao Saints were all selected from within the Heavenly Dao and were once ambitious, but only after becoming Saints did they discover that things were not that simple.

Beyond the Heavenly Dao, there was the Great Dao!

The Heavenly Dao was controlled by the Great Dao!

Antarctic Celestial Venerable said, "Since Senior has put it this way, we can no longer play Tai Chi. That's right, we also can't stand the Guixu Divine Realm! I even suspect that the Dark Holy Monarch's backing was those mighty figures of the Guixu Divine Realm; they were putting on a self-directed show!"

"I even suspect that Empress Nuwa and Fu Xi Tian didn't die at all!"

Speaking of this matter, Antarctic Celestial Venerable was very angry.

The Guixu Divine Realm always wanted to restrict the development of the Heavenly Dao. Every time a tribulation erupted, the Guixu Divine Realm would send word designating who the winner would be.

The previous Celestial Clan was arranged by the Guixu Divine Realm!

Sage of Destiny and Saint Jin'an obediently acted like dogs, but what was the final outcome?

After the Mad Saint, the Guixu Divine Realm directly abandoned them, and even seized their Primordial Purple Qi.

As the saying goes, when the fox dies, the rabbit grieves. After the fall of the two Saints, the other Saints inevitably harbored some resentment in their hearts, which was also the reason why they did not make an enemy of Han Jue.

They did not want to be a doomed blade, especially since Han Jue could also help them protect the Heavenly Dao.

Venerable Xuandu said, "Since you all understand, I will state the plan directly. The Heavenly Dao Saints must stand on the same line; Fang Liang should mean this. Li Daokong is Han Jue's disciple, so there is no need to worry. Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, Qiu Xilai, Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage, and Shi Duxiao will be our targets."

"We must make them of one mind with us."

Sect Master Tianjue frowned and asked, "The Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage is so powerful, what if he is unwilling?"

Venerable Xuandu said indifferently, "Han Jue can depose Saints, and so can we!"

The two Saints were shocked; they hadn't expected Venerable Xuandu's resolve to be so great.

"I am not clear on what actually happened deep in Chaos, but the murderous intent of the Guixu Divine Realm toward the Heavenly Dao is already very obvious. The Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage is a signal; in order to support the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage, they even dared to make a move against the Old Ancestor!" Venerable Xuandu's expression turned slightly gloomy.

Antarctic Celestial Venerable asked, "But we are no match for the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage…"

"We cannot kill the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage, but within the Heavenly Dao, the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage cannot kill us either. What we need to do is to contain him and not allow him to Cultivate forces within the Heavenly Dao. When Han Jue has absolute certainty to slay the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage, he will definitely make a move. Han Jue is very smart; he will protect the Heavenly Dao."

Venerable Xuandu said resolutely and forcefully, "Starting from today, the Three Sects of the Daoist Gate will keep their eyes on the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage and the Yao Race. If the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage dares to support the Yao Race or other factions, the Three Sects of the Daoist Gate will directly surround and kill them! Do not give him the slightest chance!"

Hearing this, Antarctic Celestial Venerable and Sect Master Tianjue both agreed.

…

Great Scattered Heaven knelt for a full hundred years before Han Jue finally moved him into the Daoist temple.

Upon seeing Han Jue, Great Scattered Heaven was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly kowtowed.

Facing a Saint, what did kowtowing count for?

It was not shameful at all.

Han Jue said, "The saint positions are already full. Why do you think defecting to me will be useful?"

Great Scattered Heaven gritted his teeth and said, "With you added, the saint positions were already full long ago!"

Han Jue smiled, but the divine light on his body obscured his expression.

"I support you in becoming a Saint; what can I gain?" Han Jue asked.

Great Scattered Heaven answered without hesitation, "Eternal and everlasting allegiance!"

"Oh? Then do you mind if I place restrictions on you?"

"I don't mind!"

"It seems your resolve is very strong."

"The Saints have failed me, and I only have this one path left. Rather than acting as a dog for other Saints, I would rather act as a dog for you. I can see your attitude toward your disciples from Li Daokong; I will never regret this. Please, Saint, give me a chance!"

Great Scattered Heaven pressed his forehead against the ground once more.

His entire body trembled. Even as a Quasi-Saint, he could not suppress the emotions he had endured for so long.

In order to become a Saint, he had thrown away all his self-esteem and face!

If Han Jue refused, let alone him, the entire Scattered Heaven Sect and Scattered Heaven Realm would become the laughingstock of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms!

He was gambling.

He could only gamble like this.

Han Jue said, "Go back and settle your sect, and next, come to the Hundred Peaks Immortal River to Cultivate diligently. Wanting to become a Saint is fine, but I need you to endure for a period of time."

"No problem!"

Great Scattered Heaven agreed joyfully.

[Great Scattered Heaven has generated Favorability toward you. Current Favorability is 5 stars.]

Han Jue waved his hand, sending Great Scattered Heaven out of the Hundred Peaks Immortal River.

To Han Jue, Great Scattered Heaven's submission was a good thing, yet not all that good.

In his eyes, the chess game of the Heavenly Dao was not all that important.

He cared more about Saint-level power now.

That very day.

A majestic voice resounded through the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms:

"I am the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Sage, originating from the Golden Crow Divine Clan and formerly the first Heavenly Emperor of the Yao Race. With the collapse of the Heavenly Dao order and the replacement of Saints, my return will establish order for the Yao Race and order for the Immortal Realm. We, the heavenly dao beings, should not merely slaughter one another and contend for Luck; we should also unite as one and expand the Heavenly Dao amidst Chaos!"

"Starting from today, the Yao Race must Cultivate for the expansion of the Heavenly Dao. I am willing to bestow the great Luck of this body upon the Yao Race. all living beings may enter the Yao Race and enjoy the Saint's Luck!"
