Chapter 949 - 606: A Failed Attempt to Steal the Chicken Resulted in Losing the Rice

Chapter 949: Chapter 606: A Failed Attempt to Steal the Chicken Resulted in Losing the Rice

At this moment, a soft chuckle resounded above the Celestial Court.

The Immortals turned to follow the sound, their gaze instantly landing on ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’.

"Why does ’Fellow Daoist Qingxia’ laugh?"

True Monarch White Emperor gazed lightly.

The Immortals also looked over.

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ spoke indifferently.

"I laugh because you have no idea what the Three Realms Nine Nether Spirit Emperor is doing, yet rashly plotting!"

Pausing slightly, she smiled and said.

"Heh, True Monarch White Emperor might not know, the Three Realms Nine Nether Spirit Emperor is currently in the Netherworld under His Majesty Houtu’s stead at the Six Paths of Reincarnation, overseeing reincarnation matters; it would be difficult for him to go to the Netherworld!"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Star Monarch’s expression changed; he pointed to Zhang Jian’s location and said.

"Isn’t Fellow Daoist Zhang now at the Lingxiao Divine Hall?"

The Immortals’ gaze swept by, their eyes fluctuating.

Zhang Jian face remained expressionless, he spoke directly.

"This is my avatar, stationed at the Celestial Court to handle mundane affairs!"

The Celestial Star Monarch’s face changed; gazing at the front row, he saw Emperor Fengwu’s cold eyes on him, and promptly turned towards the Celestial Lord Jade Emperor.

"Great Celestial Venerable, the Three Realms Nine Nether Spirit Emperor is the best candidate to attack the Golden Spring Netherworld, may we request His Majesty Houtu to release him?"

The Wood Mansion Star Monarch, upon hearing this, laughed suddenly.

"Why the haste, Fellow Daoist Celestial, you could personally go to the Netherworld and ask His Majesty Houtu if she is willing to release him?"

Over there, another Ancient Immortal followed up mischievously.

"His Majesty Houtu has long been cultivating in Pingxin Palace, Fellow Daoist Celestial really has great influence, daring to command His Majesty Houtu!"

Atop the Imperial Stairs, Taibai Star Monarch and the Immortals clamored, sternly reprimanding.

"Lingxiao Divine Hall is sacred, Immortals must not be impudent!"

The Wood Mansion Star Monarch, hearing this, straightened up solemnly, merely looking at the Celestial Star Monarch with a smirk in his eyes.

The Celestial Star Monarch looked embarrassed.

Then True Monarch White Emperor’s gaze fell upon Daoist Monarch Qingxia, and he suddenly laughed.

"Heard that, the Three Realms Nine Nether Spirit Emperor is the worldly offspring of Fellow Daoist Qingxia, perhaps you intentionally protect? Such conduct might lack fairness in the Celestial Court?"

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ sneered at the corner of her mouth.

"Are the Celestial Immortals now attacking colleagues based on speculation and slander only?"

After a slight pause, her expression was calm.

"Daoist Monarch White Emperor has no solid proof; my seat can lay out plenty of evidence against Daoist Monarch White Emperor, even to his followers and disciples abusing the Earth Immortal Realm, stealthily seizing resources!"

"Great Celestial Venerable, I implore you to mediate justice for the Little Immortal!"

She bowed to the Celestial Lord Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor’s expression remained calm, he glanced at True Monarch White Emperor and reprimanded.

"True Monarch White Emperor, without conclusive proof, how could you slander a colleague openly in court!"

"You are originally Celestial Immortals, yet violate the law; I fine you three thousand years of salary to compensate Daoist Monarch Qingxia, do you comply?"

True Monarch White Emperor’s face slightly darkened.

Three thousand years of salary meant little to him.

But the Jade Emperor’s unwavering trust in Daoist Monarch Qingxia, his ’bias’, brought more troubles.

He knew that after today, he had offended ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’; future troubles in the Celestial Court were likely.

"Qingxia, are you satisfied now?"

The Celestial Lord Jade Emperor looked faintly at ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’, signaling for the other not to stir, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ saw this, glanced at True Monarch White Emperor, expressed gratitude for the Celestial Lord’s fair judgment, and then shifted topics.

"Great Celestial Venerable, if you wish to dispatch a Celestial Immortal with equivalent Dao Practice to the Golden Spring Netherworld, the Little Immortal has a fitting candidate!"

Her cold gaze swept across True Monarch White Emperor, the Prison King Daoist Monarch, and fleetingly across Emperor Fengwu in front.

The three Daoist Monarchs felt a shadow of unease.

On the Imperial Seat, Celestial Lord Jade Emperor and Yaochi Saint Mother remained unmoved, merely gestured to Taibai Star Monarch.

Before the Imperial Stairs, Taibai Star Monarch smiled upon hearing this.

"What excellent candidate does Daoist Monarch Qingxia have?"

"It’s heard that Fellow Daoist Prison King has several exceptional direct disciples over the millions of years, especially the eldest disciple Pure Gang Emperor ranks in the top ten on All Heavens Dao Seed List, even surpassing Celestial Monarch Zhonghua and Min Hua Celestial Monarch, worthy of heavy responsibilities!"

Upon hearing this, Prison King Daoist Monarch’s face changed, quickly appealed to Celestial Lord Jade Emperor.

"Great Celestial Venerable, my disciple’s Dao Practice is shallow; making the All Heavens Dao Seed List was due to the appreciation of the Immortals, how could he compare with the two unparalleled geniuses of the Celestial Human Royal Family, and my disciple is currently cultivating in the Celestial Demon Realm, unable to return in time and would miss the Celestial Destiny!"

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ had a faint look in her eyes.

"That’s no issue; my Lantai Daoist Palace has several outposts in the Celestial Demon Realm, equipped with void teleportation grand arrays, returning to the Central Celestial Realm is uncomplicated!"

As she dropped her words, several Ancient Immortals immediately followed.

"Since so, let Pure Gang Emperor act!"

"The Pure Gang Emperor emerged from the Celestial Soldier Camp as a War God, killing numerous Demon Fiends over these years; recovering a mere Golden Spring Netherworld shouldn’t be difficult!"

In the Celestial Court, many Ancient Gods chimed in laughter.

"Let Pure Gang Emperor act!"

"We all support!"

For a time, most of the Celestial Immortals expressed their voices above the Celestial Court.

True Monarch White Emperor, Prison King Daoist Monarch witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but look incredibly unpleasant.

Especially Prison King Daoist Monarch, this time it was like losing one’s rice, yet sacrificing his beloved disciple.

He had poured tremendous effort into Pure Gang Emperor; how could he watch Pure Gang Emperor plunge into the calamity at Golden Spring Netherworld’s eye?

He was quite clear about the complex situation surrounding Golden Spring Netherworld.

But in the Celestial Court, the circumstances were stronger than people; he had no way to stop this.

Prison King Daoist Monarch felt regretful, while secretly blaming True Monarch White Emperor for provoking ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’.

Simultaneously blamed ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ for not targeting True Monarch White Emperor but instead aiming at him, indeed targeting the wrong person!

Prison King Daoist Monarch’s face remained gloomy, until the end of court.

On the Imperial Stairs, after resolving this matter, Taibai Star Monarch raised the second topic, which was how to combat Ancient Demon Gods from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Since Xingtian War God escaped, the Celestial Court intensified the search for the Ancient Demon God Race’s powerhouses.

This task is currently co-led by ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ and several other Great Gods in the intelligence departments of the Celestial Court.

Zhang Jian standing on the divine throne, could feel numerous Immortals’ gaze falling upon him, carrying a hint of anomaly.

His mind remained tranquil, he had already passed this trial.

Though he kept these few Daoist Monarchs in mind; he would certainly repay them when the opportunity arose.

This was an open plot.

An open plot pushing him into a desperate situation.

Luckily he prepared ahead, having entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation early on, securing the protection of Houtu Earth Goddess.

If caught off guard, they might have really succeeded.

Once immersed in Golden Spring Netherworld, these Daoist Monarchs, those Outer Demons might have countless ways to entrap him, not necessarily taking his life; but if seeking further cultivation progress, it would be extremely challenging.

After the Great Court Assembly ended, Zhang Jian received ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s message, prompting him to directly enter the Celestial Realm Eighth Layer.

Zhang Jian did not conceal his whereabouts.

With rumors from Jasper Pool spreading, the Immortals were likely well aware of this.

Therefore, no need to hide.

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ and he both didn’t care about such secrets.

Celestial Realm Eighth Layer, within vast Immortal Realm.

After brief guidance, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ inquired.

"Which step has your Dao Practice reached now?"

Zhang Jian thought momentarily, then directly replied without hiding: "Taiyi Perfection Sixth Step!"

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ nodded, unsurprised, and spoke directly.

"Daoist Perfection? Can you accomplish this cultivation within a million years?"

Zhang Jian hesitated slightly, then said.

"Won’t take a million years, shall achieve Taiyi Perfection Sixth Step within ten thousand years!"

He considered this conservatively.

With the Qiankun Map and Nine Nether Authority, he felt confident in swiftly completing the Daoist Monarch path, condensing the Daoist Monarch Position, finalizing the metamorphosis.
