Chapter 494: Chapter 368: The Descent of the True Immortal
Overhanging Firmament Hall.
The Heavenly Emperor sat upright, the court officials stood erect.
In the middle stood the Heaven-Watching Mirror, which was currently displaying the scene of You Mountain.
The current Heaven Patching Sect Leader, Jing Lingzi, activated the Supreme Treasure, slaying a cultivator with every sword strike; the Mountain God and the miners were all killed as well.
Then, he cast a spell to bring down Demon Fire, incinerating the mountain top to bottom into flying ashes.
Afterward, he used various soul-destroying and concealing techniques to clean the crime scene so meticulously that even a True God of the Severing Heaven Sect couldn’t divine the real culprit with sorcery.
Yang Xuan was seated to the left among the gods, and could not help but laugh upon seeing this scene.
“What a Heaven Patching Sect Leader, what a righteous deity of Heavenly Mountain. A true god of Heavenly Court, a leader of the Orthodox Path, committing such acts of murder and silencing, even more skilled than Demon Heads. I wonder how many have died in vain?”
The faces of the gods of Heavenly Court twitched, and they looked at Yang Xuan with odd expressions.
This very morning.
The War God Yang Xuan, who had never attended court before, suddenly arrived at Overhanging Firmament Hall, claiming he had something wonderful for everyone to see, which led to this spectacle.
The gods murmured among themselves, incredulous that Yang Xuan, who refused to recognize the Heavenly Emperor as his ancestor—preferring distance due to their vastly different generations—would side with Heavenly Court when Zhao Yao ascended the throne but chose to cause such a ruckus on his first court appearance.
It was a clear sign of distancing himself from Heavenly Court, and they couldn’t figure out what Qingyun Mountain could have fed him to bewitch him so!
At the top.
The Heavenly Emperor’s face was dark; he had recognized the Primordial Qinglian.
This treasure, ranking among Innate Spiritual Objects, was a Supreme Treasure rarely seen in thousands, even tens of thousands of years, which could increase a Heavenly Monarch’s chances of surviving tribulation by ten to twenty percent.
One shouldn’t underestimate that ten to twenty percent. Every cultivator in the three teachings who was on the cusp of Divinity Transformation was exceptional, with countless magical techniques and wonderful methods; for some, it could be that last step that leads to successful tribulation.
“Minister Lu, what does the Heaven Patching Sect intend to do?”
This inquiry was already harsh, just short of accusing the Heaven Patching Sect of planning a rebellion!
Heavenly Mountain.
After dealing with the aftermath, Jing Lingzi, with the Primordial Qinglian in tow, returned to the main hall of the Sect Leader.
He pondered carefully on who should use this object.
“Among the sect, there are seven Heavenly Monarchs who aspire to transcend tribulation, each one of them having perfected their Divinity Transformation stage, it’s just that...”
Jing Lingzi’s expression changed as he well knew that once an immortal emerged, he would have to relinquish his leadership, and perhaps even reopen the pathway to ascension.
Once ascension commenced, the ancestral immortals in the upper realms, upon understanding the situation below, would undoubtedly be enraged.
“The sect belongs to everyone, but the power is mine. I cannot simply be self-centered. As the Sect Leader, I must put the sect first...”
Jing Lingzi lifted his gaze towards the Primordial Qinglian; the spiritual object hovered in the air, its roots piercing through the void, drawing on the Primordial Energy to grow.
“Had I known You Mountain had an Innate Spiritual Object, I should not have chosen to be enthroned by incense! A single moment of folly, and the path to eternal life was lost! What if I hide the Qing Lian and reincarnate to start anew?”
“Or perhaps nurture it carefully and seize the consciousness of the Qing Lian...”
Jing Lingzi’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts when suddenly his incense-crafted divine body trembled, small cracks appearing as if it would shatter at any moment.
“Damn it, the inner demon!”
With a wave of his hand, Jing Lingzi enveloped the Qing Lian and secluded himself in his cave abode to meditate.
A few days later.
As Jing Lingzi was resolving his inner demon, a sudden loud noise reverberated; Heavenly Mountain shook violently, followed by the mocking voice of an old adversary.
“Old fool, you coveted the Heavenly Court’s Supreme Treasure and violated heavenly laws; come with this official to Heavenly Court and take responsibility!”
Outside Heavenly Mountain.
A hundred thousand heavenly soldiers formed a formation encircling the Heaven Patching Sect. Ten True Gods sat amid them, the immense divine power of incense enveloping thousands of miles, preventing any cultivator from escaping.
Jing Huazi led the charge, reading out the Heavenly Emperor’s Jade Decree, publicly disclosing the crimes committed by Jing Lingzi!
The trailing cultivators, upon hearing the contents of the Jade Decree, quickly lost their initial enthusiasm for spectating, and each rode their escaping light, scattering in all directions to flee.
