Ripples of soul-stirring fluctuations came from the Jade Capital City. Hao, Huo, Lang, Gong, Qiang, Zu, Yan, Shi, and Xu—the nine great Celestial Venerables were fighting. The celestial palaces of the various Celestial Venerables formed the Great Celestial Heavens, and the power of the divine art could be said to have reached the peak of the divine art!
After killing Heaven Duke and refining the Xuandu Heavenly Dao, the nine Celestial Venerables received huge benefits, and their abilities improved by leaps and bounds!
The reason why they were fighting was not for anything else but for the Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit of Miluo Palace's Yuan Sage.
After killing a Yuan Sage, what was left was the wealth of a Yuan Sage!
Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit were realms that they had never come into contact with, realms that they had never come into contact with. They had to obtain them no matter what!
Killing Heaven Duke would raise their power, but killing the Miluo Palace's Yuan Sages and obtaining the Dao Tree, Dao Flower, and Dao Fruit could raise their realms!
This chaotic battle erupted suddenly, but it ended quickly.
The moment the battle erupted, Celestial Venerable Hao, Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Gong, Ancestral God King, and Celestial Venerable Xu attacked Heavenly Lady Qiang at the same time. Even though Heavenly Lady Qiang had the Ancestral Court's God Execution Stage and two God Execution Mysterious Knives, which had terrifying attack power, she was still unable to handle the attacks of the five Celestial Venerables.
Heavenly Lady Qiang used two divine knives to coil around her body. The two divine knives were like two huge blood-colored dragons that circled around her. However, Celestial Venerable Gong appeared in front of her, so she didn't dare to kill him. She was then severely injured by the five Celestial Venerables and left on the dragons!
Shi Qiluo's Hundred Treasure Chest opened up, and the divine weapons Celestial Venerable Yu descended one after another. With the three divine weapons protecting him, Shi Qiluo rushed towards the Dao Fruit under the tree.
Just as he grabbed the two Dao fruits in his hands, greed burst forth in his heart. He was about to snatch the Dao Flower as well when divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu, flew out from Celestial Venerable Hao's back. There were four of them, and they blocked three divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu. There was also a divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu that came straight for him.
'Why does Celestial Venerable Hao have so many divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu?'
Shi Qiluo didn't think twice and split his attention to control the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu. The divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu was a weapon he created, and he had left countless secret doors in the body of every divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu. He used them to pry into the paths, skills, and divine arts of the various Celestial Venerables.
In fact, he could even snatch away the opponent's divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu and turn it into a weapon to kill the opponent.
Unexpectedly, just as he was distracted and entered the body of this divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. There was no secret door in the body of this divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu!
"It's not the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu that I created!"
Shi Qiluo felt a chill down his spine. The divine soul she had split off was immediately dispersed by the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, and it almost shattered!
Shi Qiluo hurriedly retracted his divine soul. The attack of the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu had already landed on his body, and the incomparably terrifying power had almost shattered his celestial palace!
This was a divine weapon of creation created by the supreme companion treasure of Tai Su. It was a divine weapon forged by Celestial Venerable Yu, and it wasn't a divine weapon forged by Shi Qiluo at all. He had suffered a huge loss by acting rashly.
Ever since Celestial Venerable Hao was injured, he had been looked down upon by others. During the Battle of Xuandu, he had shone brilliantly and became the biggest winner among the ten Celestial Venerables. He had subdued Celestial Venerable Gong, Ancestral God King, and with Celestial Venerable Huo and Celestial Venerable Xu's help, he had become the biggest force among the ten Celestial Venerables!
Yet even in the battle of Xuandu, he didn't reveal all his abilities.
Tai Su' accompanying precious treasure could transform into the form of any other treasure, and it could also transform into a creation divine weapon. When Celestial Venerable Hao obtained this precious treasure and the other Celestial Venerables attacked each other and ignored him, he took the chance to take out all his wealth and refine it into divine weapons, Celestial Venerable Yu!
Shi Qiluo was injured, but he knew that his life was in danger. With a shake of his hand, he threw two Dao fruits towards Heavenly Lady Yan.
Heavenly Lady Yan caught the two Dao fruits. The moment they landed in her hands, the five Celestial Venerables—Hao, Huo, Xu, Gong, and Zu—had already severely injured God Emperor Lang Xuan and attacked her.
Behind her, the two ancient gods of taiji fused together and executed the taiji sand table. The power of this companion treasure was instantly raised to the extreme by the two ancient gods. Yin and Yang transformed into life, and when the two fused into one, they transformed into the taiji. The Dao of taiji surged, and tens of thousands of Dao were born. All things were born!
In an instant, it was as though a world was born from a sand table. The sun, moon, and stars shone brilliantly, and the Great Dao flourished!
Right at this moment, a huge bell behind Celestial Venerable Hao rose up and resonated with the taiji sand table!
That was Tai Su's accompanying precious treasure. This supreme treasure didn't have a fixed form, but it could transform into any form. At this moment, it had transformed into a huge star-shaped bell. On the outside of the bell, there were imprints of birds, beasts, insects, fish, and all kinds of divine forms. On the inside of the bell, there were stars and galaxies coiling around it. When the huge bell collided with the taiji sand table, its power was no match, and the huge bell shattered into pieces!
The moment the huge bell shattered, the Tai Su Dao condensed, and the shattered huge bell transformed into a huge cauldron. The primordial qi under the cauldron was dense, and it lifted the huge cauldron up into the sky before blasting it into the taiji sand table.
At the same time, the five great Celestial Venerables arrived at the same time, each executing their strongest attacks and imprinting them on the taiji sand table. The ancient god of taiji was split into two, and he brought Heavenly Lady Yan out of the city.
Celestial Venerable Hao's Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel flew out, and Heavenly Lady Yan lost an arm. In the palm of that arm was a Dao fruit.
Heavenly Lady Yan brought another Dao Fruit and left. The five Celestial Venerables chased after them, but the two ancient gods of taiji suddenly stretched out their hands and swiped. The world spun, and space spun rapidly like a taiji diagram.
The five Celestial Venerables hurriedly stopped and crushed the taiji diagram. Looking up, the two ancient gods of taiji and Heavenly Lady Yan had vanished without a trace.
"There's no need to chase."
Celestial Venerable Hao picked up Heavenly Lady Yan's severed arm and said with a smile, "We are all ten Celestial Venerables after all, and we meet frequently. In the future, we will still be of use to them, so there's no need to be ruthless."
Celestial Venerable Huo, Celestial Venerable Gong, and the rest stopped in their tracks. Celestial Venerable Huo walked forward, picked up the Dao flower, and hung it on the Dao Tree. He then picked up the Dao Tree of Miluo Palace's Yuan Sage and brought it to Celestial Venerable Hao.
Celestial Venerable Hao looked at him with interest. Seeing him bring the Dao Tree Flower to him, he smiled and said, "Your loyalty is commendable."
Celestial Venerable Huo bowed.
"The other Celestial Venerables think that the Dao fruit is good and the Dao flower isn't bad, but the Dao Tree is still the one that's truly useful to us. Without the Dao Tree, where would the Dao fruit come from?"
Celestial Venerable Hao came to the front of the Dao Tree of Mi Luo Palace's Yuan Sage and said leisurely, "Most of the Dao Trees here have already withered, and their Great Dao has been erased. They can't be of much use. However, this Dao Tree is still fine. This means that the power of the Dao Tree's owner is extraordinary, far superior to others."
The four Celestial Venerables remained silent as their gazes landed on the Dao Tree. They also wanted the Dao Tree Dao Fruit, but they didn't dare to reveal it.
"A Dao Fruit can raise one's Dao Realm. My brother Lang Xuan got one and raised his Dao Realm cultivation to the 28 heavens. However, his Dao Realm is fake, and he relied on a Dao Fruit to raise it up. He looks powerful, but he's actually weak on the outside."
Celestial Venerable Hao continued, "However, the Dao Tree is different. The Dao Tree records the process of achieving the Dao. It's good to pluck the fruits, but the foundation is unstable. Only by seeing the process of the other party achieving the Dao is the greatest benefit to us!"
His words made the other four Celestial Venerables ponder and nod repeatedly.
Even Goddess Tai Su couldn't help but praise him in her heart. 'The ancient god of taiji made me choose Celestial Venerable Hao. It seems like it was a good move! Celestial Venerable Hao's talent and abilities far surpass other Celestial Venerables! The ancient god of taiji has come into being, but he chose Heavenly Lady Yan. This is a bad move. Strange, why did the two of them choose Heavenly Lady Yan?'
She couldn't figure out the intention of the ancient god of Taiji.
Celestial Venerable Hao raised his hand and threw the Dao fruit to Celestial Venerable Huo. Celestial Venerable Huo was surprised and delighted, not daring to accept it.
Celestial Venerable Hao said indifferently, "The battle of Xuandu didn't give you any benefits. The benefits brought by this Dao fruit aren't inferior to the Xuandu Heavenly Dao. Consider it compensation."
Celestial Venerable Huo was moved to tears.
Celestial Venerable Hao plucked the Dao Flower and gave it to Celestial Venerable Xu. He said with a smile, "There's still a long way to go. When we kill our way into Youdu, Dao Friend Xu will get a better one."
Ancestral God King said with a smile, "I've received the greatest benefits in Xuandu. I won't take any of them."
Celestial Venerable Hao laughed and said, "This Jade Capital City is the greatest benefit. It's almost endless, so how can it be lacking in the benefits of the divine king? I'll owe you first."
Ancestral God King nodded with a smile.
Celestial Venerable Hao sent the entire Dao Tree to Celestial Venerable Gong. Celestial Venerable Gong was stunned. If Celestial Venerable Hao gave the Dao Tree to her, wouldn't she lose nothing?
"I'll use this Dao Tree to exchange for Dao Friend Gong's mine. What do you think, Dao Friend Gong?" Celestial Venerable Hao asked with a smile.
When Taisu heard this, he felt at ease. 'I didn't misjudge him. Celestial Venerable Hao has completely submitted to me. He knows that the stronger I am, the more benefits he will receive. Now, he is wholeheartedly preparing the Great Simplicity Divine Stone for me.'
Celestial Venerable Gong was slightly stunned. He bowed and said, "How would I dare to disobey? However, ten percent of the output of my mine belongs to Celestial Venerable Mu. I promised him, so I can't go back on my word."
Celestial Venerable Hao smiled and didn't mind. "Since Dao Friend Gong promised him, he naturally has to give it to me. If you give me this mine, I'll give him ten percent. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Celestial Venerable Huo said, "Brother Hao, we didn't find any traces of Celestial Venerable Mu in the Hall of Fragrance. He must have lured us here to borrow the hands of the old monsters in the hall to get rid of us…"
Celestial Venerable Hao shook his head and said, "He's not that shallow to think that he can kill us with just the old monster in the hall. He probably has other plans…"
He frowned and looked around. This god city was actually somewhat similar to the Jade Capital City of the celestial heavens. He thought to himself, 'Celestial Venerable Mu must have saved Celestial Venerable Yu's broken soul and South Deity's soul long ago. Since he discovered this place, why did he lure us here…'
Even though he was extremely intelligent, he couldn't think of the reason why Qin Mu had lured them here.
However, to Celestial Venerable Hao, there were treasures everywhere. One Dao Tree and two Dao Fruits couldn't satisfy him. The true wealth was this entire divine city!
'If I can move this god city to the celestial heavens and treat it as the Jade Capital City of the celestial heavens, how can the Grand Emperor and my father, Tai Chu, compare to this power? This is the true Celestial Emperor!'
He walked forward and continued to explore the god city. Celestial Venerable Huo held the Dao fruit, and his gaze flickered as he stared at the Dao fruit hanging on another tree. The Dao fruit was tattered, and there was a beautiful female corpse inside. It was the female corpse that had been sealed by the Hall of Fragrance.
"Celestial Venerable Huo, let's go!"
Celestial Venerable Xu turned back and smiled. "The Dao Tree has already withered, and the Dao fruit is also useless."
Celestial Venerable Huo retracted his gaze and followed the four Celestial Venerables.
Not long after they left, Heavenly Lady Qiang coughed up blood as she walked to the withered Dao Tree. She looked at the tattered Dao fruit and bowed. "Dao friend."
The woman in the Dao Fruit suddenly sat up straight and turned to look at her. "An existence that has achieved the Dao yet is swimming with fishes and prawns. How pitiful, how lamentable."
Heavenly Lady Qiang sneered. "You are also an existence that has achieved the Dao. Weren't you forced to feign death by the divine arts of the fishes and prawns? Dao friend, you can't even protect yourself, so you don't have to mock me. I'm here to join forces with you…"
The woman in the Dao Fruit said, "Grand Emperor, your current position was bestowed upon you by the Miluo Palace. Now is the time for you to repay the Miluo Palace."
Heavenly Lady Qiang was shocked. "You recognize me?"
"The master of Miluo Palace captured all the strange beasts in the world and created a void beast, bestowing it to you. Do you really think you have such a great opportunity to obtain a void beast?"
The woman in the Dao Fruit sneered and said, "The master of Miluo Palace expected you to sacrifice more lifeforms, but who knew you were useless and ruined the great situation he created for you!"
Heavenly Lady Qiang's expression changed drastically. "Miluo Palace's master? This Jade Capital City…"
"This city is the Miluo Palace!"
On the other side, the ancient god of taiji brought Heavenly Lady Yan out of the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court. Not long after, he caught up to Shi Qiluo, who was escaping. When Shi Qiluo saw the three gods, he couldn't help but be alarmed, thinking that something was wrong.
Suddenly, God Emperor Lang Xuan flew over and landed beside him. Only then did Shi Qiluo let out a sigh of relief.
When the ancient god of taiji saw God Emperor Lang Xuan's arrival, he was also astonished. He didn't kill Shi Qiluo.
The three Celestial Venerables looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Celestial Venerable Hao's power is already established, but we are still wary of each other. This setback is a warning!"
God Emperor Lang Xuan glanced at Heavenly Lady Yan and Shi Qiluo and sneered. "If we continue to fight on our own, we will only be defeated by Celestial Venerable Hao one by one. In the end, he will rule the world and become Celestial Emperor! As for us, we will either become prisoners or die miserably!"
Heavenly Lady Yan said indifferently, "If God Emperor can help me subdue Shi Qiluo, we won't have to fear Celestial Venerable Hao."
Shi Qiluo smiled and said, "Sister, after refining me, you will become an existence of the celestial heavens that has cultivated the thirty-six celestial palaces. By then, wouldn't Lang Xuan still be a prisoner? Would you let Brother-in-law and the son of the palace off?"
Heavenly Lady Yan sneered and stopped talking.
God Emperor Lang Xuan felt a headache coming on. One of them was Celestial Empress, while the other was Yuanmu. They were both troublemakers with deep grudges, so it was impossible for them to work together.
Although he had the intention to ally with them, he had no choice but to be wary of them. This alliance was like a plate of loose sand!
At that moment, he heard a voice coming from afar. The voice was deep and had the aura of a high and mighty emperor. "If Hao'er gains power, Celestial Empress will have to die, and so will Yuanmu. As Hao'er's elder brother, Lang Xuan will have to die as well. There's no way you guys will become prisoners!"
The three of them were shocked and hurriedly looked towards the source of the voice.
The expressions of the two ancient gods of taiji also changed slightly. They bowed and said, "Dao brother!"
The voice came close and was very fast. "However, you guys can work together without worry. Because, Lang Xuan, you are my son! Celestial Empress and Yuanmu, you are my women!"
Celestial Venerable Xiao walked towards them, his aura unfathomable. He walked in front of the five of them and returned the greeting to the ancient god of taiji. He looked around and smiled. "We are a family, a harmonious family."
