Chapter 725: Exalting the Divine Might Heavenly Sage [Third Update, Requesting Monthly Votes]

"In truth, we may have held the Pangu Great God in too high a regard. Since ancient times, through countless Immeasurable Calamities, even during the previous invasions by the Yan Clan and the E Clan, we never saw the Pangu Great God manifest. In the eyes of all beings, the Pangu Great God might not even have as much prestige as the Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage," Qiu Xilai said meaningfully.

He scanned the Saints and continued, "Pangu is a very distant figure from the present. We can stop spreading his legends. Is it not currently the era of the Prodigy trend? The Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage achieved Sainthood in thirty thousand years. If this were spread among all beings, would it not inspire them even more?"

"By concentrating the worship and awe of all beings onto the Boundless Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage, we can also prevent the descendants of Pangu from subverting the Heavenly Dao in the future."

The expressions of the Saints shifted as they heard his words.

This was an attempt to suppress Pangu while exalting Han Jue!

What a lapdog!

Jin Shen, Great Emperor Xiao, and South Pole Heavenly Venerate cursed inwardly.

Qiu Xilai's behavior was truly affected, yet they did not dare to directly contradict him.

The Heavenly Dao Saints who remained now all possessed some degree of sentiment and their own principles; the truly thick-skinned, calculating, and black-hearted Saints had already been eliminated by Han Jue.

Fang Liang spoke up, "I feel Fellow Daoist Qiu makes a good point. This is indeed a good method. After all, my Grandmaster has no need for such fame at all. Even if it is given to him, it won't affect the current Heavenly Dao. If it were anyone else, they might become arrogant and suppress the Saints again, but my Grandmaster will not. You all should have felt this by now."

The Saints nodded.

This was indeed the truth.

Every Saint that Han Jue had placed in the Hongmeng Heavenly Prison had been a threat to him.

Venerable Xuandu, Great Emperor Xiao, Jin Shen, and South Pole Heavenly Venerate asked themselves; Han Jue truly had never made things difficult for them. Even though their Realms were now worlds apart, he did not put on airs when they conversed.

The Saints began to state their positions, and all agreed with Qiu Xilai's suggestion.

Great Emperor Xiao looked at Pan Xin in surprise; Pan Xin actually supported it as well, and not out of coercion—he seemed very enthusiastic.

This fellow really has defected to Han Jue!

In his view, Pan Xin and Qiu Xilai seemed to be competing for favor.

Great Emperor Xiao quickly adjusted his mindset. Since that was the case, he would help Pan Xin compete for favor to gain Han Jue's trust as much as possible, so he could fare better in the Heavenly Dao in the future.

The Saints began to plan how to suppress the legends of Pangu and establish the myth of the Divine Might Heavenly Sage.

Pan Xin was the most eager because he was also a descendant of Pangu, making it easier for him to approach those other descendants.

The Saints were secretly envious, especially Qiu Xilai, who hadn't expected his efforts to pave the way for Pan Xin to benefit.

…

In a gray, mysterious space, Li Daokong sat naked, meditating in a pool of water. Beyond the pool, a thick fog drifted, obscuring the distance. The water in the pool steamed with heat and was green, occasionally turning purple.

Splash!

A figure suddenly fell, landing beside Li Daokong, yet the pool water did not splash up.

It was Shi Duxiao!

Shi Duxiao quickly adjusted his posture. His aura was weak and his hair was disheveled; he had clearly suffered a severe beating previously.

Li Daokong said in surprise, "You're not dead?"

Shi Duxiao stabilized his breathing and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "You really want me dead? You dog, if I hadn't listened to you, would I have suffered this great calamity?"

Li Daokong was not embarrassed and wore a smile.

At this moment, the voice of Life rang out:

"You have already become Life. Cultivate well. Once you become Darkness, you may leave."

Li Daokong frowned and asked, "What is Darkness?"

Life replied, "Before Chaos, there was Darkness. Darkness is the original form of all this. You must stay here for at least a million years; do not forget to practice your Cultivation."

"That long?"

Shi Duxiao cried out, but Life did not answer again.

Li Daokong, however, breathed a sigh of relief. A million years meant that even if the Darkness needed at least a million years to corrode him, this time was enough for Han Jue to become much stronger.

He knew Han Jue's Aptitude best. The current Han Jue was only about three hundred thousand years old and could already contend with a Great Dao Sage.

In a million years, killing Life would be like slaughtering chickens and pigs!

Shi Duxiao said with a bitter smile, "Having to stay in a pool with you for a million years, I'd rather be killed."

Li Daokong snorted, "Then kill yourself."

"Heh."

The two fell into silence.

After a long while.

Shi Duxiao asked, "How many 'Lifes' have you seen?"

Li Daokong said, "Four. And you?"

"Five. The Heavenly Dao is in danger."

Shi Duxiao sighed.

They had been easily suppressed by a single Life before, let alone at least five. How strong must they be?

Moreover, if these Lifes all commanded powerful forces and gathered together, how terrifying would that be?

Li Daokong said, "Let's Cultivate first. we have no other choice."

"Mm."

…

Chaos, Heavenly Court.

After over a hundred thousand years of development, the Heavenly Court had found a space and established its location. Palaces were dotted like stars, and Heavenly Soldiers and Generals patrolled in formation. In the center of the Heavenly Court sat the Hall of Miraculous Mist.

Inside the hall, Immortals and gods gathered, making it even more bustling than the former Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Court.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor sat on the imperial throne, quietly listening to the dispute between the Literary Immortals and the Heavenly Generals.

The three Great Divine Generals stood in the front row, not interjecting.

The Heavenly Court did not only need constant warfare; it also required Literary Immortals to manage internal affairs and govern the various worlds and races under its command.

Unlike the Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Court, there were no Saint factions, so the current arguments in the Heavenly Court were healthy and did not damage harmony.

Chu Shiren was also among them, but he was not a Literary Immortal; he was a Heavenly General.

"Jie jie jie—"

A burst of strange laughter suddenly entered the Hall of Miraculous Mist, directly cutting off the voices of the Immortals and gods.

All the Immortals and gods fell silent and turned their heads in unison. There were no visitors outside the hall, and no strangers within.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor frowned.

The strange laughter rang out again: "Heavenly Court? Merely mediocre. I am Life. Evil Heavenly Emperor, do you dare to make a wager with me?"

Life!

The Immortals and gods were in an uproar.

This name had been heard frequently in Chaos recently. The Heavenly Court was attacking Chaos Demon Gods, and Life was doing the same.

However, unlike the Heavenly Court's struggles, Life had already subdued three Chaos Demon Gods single-handedly.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor snorted, "What wager?"

Han Tuo, Yi Tian, and the Black Heavenly General constantly used their Divine Thought to search for Life, but they could not capture Life's aura at all.

"I shall dispatch a Chaos Demon God to attack the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Court can hold out for a year, I will give this Chaos Demon God to the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Court loses, the Heavenly Court shall submit to me!"

Life laughed contemptuously, making the Immortals and gods furious as they began to denounce him.

Though they could not see Life, this was the Heavenly Court; how could they allow an outsider to be so arrogant?

Moreover, the other party was clearly looking for trouble!

Yi Tian cursed, "You bastard, hiding your head and showing your tail. Come out and fight me first!"

Life did not answer them.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor's eyes flickered, and he did not immediately agree.

He was suspicious. The other party acted as if they had them cornered; if they were so strong, why not appear?

There was only one possibility!

That is, Life was not as strong as the Chaos Demon God he was dispatching, which was why he was being so indirect!

The Evil Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, "This wager is uninteresting. The Heavenly Court already looks down on Chaos Demon Gods. How about we change the wager?"

Life's voice rang out: "What wager?"

"You and I shall each dispatch a Prodigy of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm for a duel. If you win, the Heavenly Court is yours. If you lose, that Prodigy belongs to the Heavenly Court, and from then on, you shall not disturb the Heavenly Court again!"

The Evil Heavenly Emperor looked confident and then issued a contemptuous provocation: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Life dares to agree?"
