Chapter 423 - 334: 500 Years Later
"You have done well,"
Zhou Yi’s gaze was profound. Ao Tu was able to bend and stretch, unlike the usual unruliness of the demon races.
Therefore, it was even more necessary to nip this in the bud!
"The Shang Shui Dragon Clan has rebelled against the Heavenly Court, and you, as the clan leader, have committed an unforgivable crime. But if you face the Immortal Slaying Stage, there is still room for redemption from the disaster of clan extermination!"
"I will do as the Superior Immortal says."
Surprisingly, Ao Tu showed no resistance. Being a true dragon’s offspring, he was well aware of the terror of human immortals.
Once, the Iron Crown Immortal came alone to cause trouble in Shang Shui, enduring the Dragon Palace’s formation, the Six Dragon Rings, and battled a true dragon with his cultivation technique. Not only did he flay and bleed the Dragon King, but he also took away a scroll of the Dragon tribe’s cultivation technique.
At this moment.
A stream of divine light streaked across the firmament and landed in Zhou Yi’s hand, turning into a bright yellow scroll.
The Heavenly Emperor’s Jade Decree!
Zhou Yi swept over it with his divine sense and tossed the decree to Ao Tu, "His Majesty is generous-hearted. Seeing your sincere confession, he is willing to commute your death sentence."
"I thank the Heavenly Emperor!"
Ao Tu turned towards the direction of the Heavenly Court and bowed thrice and kowtowed nine times. Then, facing the Jade Decree, he spat out three mouthfuls of essence blood and chanted a lengthy and complex spell, the sounds unlike the language of human races.
A moment later.
As the spell ended, the bright yellow scroll revealed patterns of black and red, looking like dragons and snakes slithering about.
"This is the Dragon tribe’s bloodline curse technique. With this Jade Decree, the Heavenly Court can command the Shang Shui Dragon Clan. However, there are many descendants of the Dragon tribe in Dongsheng Divine Continent, not just Shang Shui. If in the future any nefarious dragons cause trouble, I implore the Heavenly Emperor to investigate thoroughly before enacting severe punishment!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand to take the Jade Decree and said, "Shang Shui has already been redirected. This involves the lives of millions of the human race, so make sure there are no more alterations."
Ao Tu smiled, "The Shang Shui Dragon Palace should indeed move to another realm. I should also thank the Superior Immortal for his efforts."
"Withdraw the troops!"
With a thought from Zhou Yi, an ox stepped on five-colored auspicious clouds and flew towards the Heavenly Court.
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals followed behind, their magnificent aura sweeping across ten thousand miles, looking even more contemptuous of the world than in the past.
Cultivators who spied from the shadows had long since fled without a trace.
No matter how impressive they talk, facing a human immortal who could shatter the void, their will to resist immediately extinguished.
Zhou Yi bowed and retreated to the back of the group of deities, listening quietly to the Heavenly Emperor handling other affairs until the court session ended.
First, he returned his commission at the Military Department and then went to the Treasury Department to claim the Daoist Immortal Register. Without meeting any fellow Daoists, he rode his ox directly back to Qingyun Mountain.
"Finally, I can live in peace!"
...
The Shang Shui Dragon Clan’s submission to the Heavenly Court and establishing a bloodline oath was a major event that shook the entire demon race.
Considering themselves an Imperial Clan, the dragons have worn this title for tens of thousands of years. Although not recognized by the demon races, a title worn for so long may as well be true.
Now that the Imperial Clan has submitted, the remaining demons have three shocks a day!
Ten years later.
The Heavenly Court used the excuse that the Baize clan was spreading the practice of cultivation without an Immortal Register, causing Dongwang Mountain to be overrun with demons and spirits, with frequent incidents of people being devoured.
The Heavenly Emperor proclaimed a decree for the Demon-Slaying Marshal to lead a hundred thousand soldiers to campaign against them.
The Baize Demon God, being timely, arrived at the Heavenly Court with shackles on himself before the heavenly soldiers arrived to plead guilty for his crimes.
The Heavenly Emperor, recognizing his initiative in confessing, and given that the offenders were not from the Baize clan, ordered him to make a blood oath and sent him back to Dongwang Mountain for self-reflection and confinement.
Fifty years later.
Phoenix Perch Mountain’s volcano erupted, causing land fractures and mountain collapses within hundreds of li, turning the area into desolation.
The Earth God reported to the Heavenly Court, claiming that the volcanic eruption was caused by the seventh phoenix son breaking through his cultivation realm, not by natural disaster, but human blunder!
The Duty God of the Year along with others went to investigate, demanding to see the forbidden area of Phoenix Perch Mountain. They were prevented by the phoenix clan and accidentally injured in the process.
Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, the Phoenix Clan was suspected of treason!
The Heavenly Emperor issued a decree, demanding the Phoenix King to come to the Heavenly Court to explain the situation, or otherwise he would flatten Phoenix Perch Mountain.
To prove his innocence, the Phoenix King had to perform a bloodline curse technique, showing no heart of rebellion!
A hundred years later.
Xuanlin Valley was suspected of privately plundering incense offerings, leading to the Qilin clan’s submission to the Heavenly Court.
One hundred and fifty years later.
The Qingqiu fox women violated the heavenly precepts by absorbing yang energy from humans, and had to establish a bloodline curse technique.
