Chapter 566: Chapter 565: The Daoist Court Focuses on Ascension, North Sea Descends into Chaotic War [Part 1]

In truth, the essence of a Destiny Dynasty is to expand its territory.

It’s not just about human expansion, but also the expansion of fortune.

A Destiny Dynasty is divided into five levels.

Dynasty, Imperial Dynasty, Empire, Immortal Court, Celestial Court.

Just as cultivation realms have their own grades.

A Destiny Dynasty is no different.

A Dynasty is the threshold, its fortune is sparse, and although it bestows the emperor with some divine prowess, it lacks the ability to protect its land.

To have fortune at the frontier that can transform into barriers at any time to ward off foes, it is essential to extend fortune coverage across the First Celestial Realm. Only then can one who resides in the Central Palace wield fortune from a thousand miles away!

At this time, such a Destiny Dynasty can be considered as an Emperor Level Dynasty.

When fortune rises further, covering up to the Seventh Heaven, it reaches the threshold of an Emperor Level Dynasty.

At the Twelve Heavens, it becomes the Immortal Court!

Before today, the Daoist Court’s fortune-covered area lay within these Twelve Heavens.

And to ascend to the Celestial Court requires leading the Celestial Dragon of Fortune to expand from the Twelve Heavens all the way to the Thirty-Three Heavens!

In this way, an ascension is considered successful!

However, in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm, every Celestial Domain is obstructed by the Power of the Star River, making breakthroughs not easy.

Though Lin Heng now has the capability to break through the barrier of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Yet even if the void in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm is temporarily shattered, it will quickly heal.

Because of this reason, ascending to the Celestial Court cannot proceed without an artifact capable of standing within the Thirty-Three Heavens.

With such an artifact, even if the void heals, fortune can rise along its interior.

Such an artifact is known as a National Treasure!

It is the key connection between the Fortune Dragon Vein and the Celestial Domain, or rather, a channel for conveying fortune. The difference is that this channel connecting the Dragon Vein and Celestial Domain, once opened, must never collapse or be destroyed.

Therefore, the quality of such an artifact cannot be inferior.

The stronger the Destiny Dynasty, the more selective they become in their requirement for a National Treasure!

And the Celestial Measuring Ruler, without a doubt, is a natural National Treasure.

As an object that supports the heavens by nature, its role in establishing the Celestial Court will naturally proceed more smoothly.

Of course, even with such a suitable National Treasure.

The breakthrough of the Thirty-Three Heavens still requires Lin Heng to personally take action.

However, for him, it is not too arduous a task, given his strength, which is evident to all.

All he needs is merely time.

"In ancient times, it often took over a month to establish a Celestial Court."

"With the Daoist Lord’s heaven-reaching cultivation, the progress should be faster."

"It’s just uncertain if it can catch up with the excitement of the Saint’s seat struggle."

Shen Gongbao gazed toward the North Sea. Being not yet a Quasi-Saint himself, he is unable to see through the thick mists of the North Sea to witness the legendary Celestial Dao Gate.

The only thing he could see were one after another Star Realm Avenues, stretching across the sky.

Those are the traces left by the Quasi-Saints who have gone forth, their power so strong that their presence lingers in the world for a long time!

"It’s really frustrating. This Saint’s opportunity, did not come early nor late, but appeared right when ascending the Celestial Court, as if the Heavenly Dao intentionally wants the Daoist Lord to make a choice, sigh..."

The Ox Demon King looked speechless, feeling the urge to curse.

"Choice?"

The Black Bear Spirit’s eyes showed a strange expression as he couldn’t help but say, "Can’t the boss pause the ascension, go fight for the Saint’s seat first, and come back to continue once successful?"

The Ox Demon King replied irritably, "Saints do not interfere with worldly affairs, so who among them establishes a Celestial Court? In ancient times, the Lord of Heaven might have been a Saint, but that’s always something later on."

"Oh, I did forget about that part..." murmured the Black Bear Spirit after realizing, "It seems like it does force the boss to choose. If the boss goes to fight for the seat and becomes a Saint, he won’t be able to involve himself in the Daoist Court’s ascension anymore. But don’t we still have Monkey Sun, the boss could totally become the Saint and leave Daoist Court affairs to others."

"Just like in the Western Heaven Buddha Country with the Past Buddha, Present Buddha, and Future Buddha. Once sanctified, they simply step down..."

"But really, why can Tathagata, after becoming a Saint, still return to lead the Buddha Country?"

The Black Bear Spirit was full of confusion. According to the timeline given by the boss before, the return of the Saint Tathagata should be within these two months.

The urgency of the Daoist Court’s ascension is also to guard against Tathagata.

Yet, this is what puzzles the Black Bear Spirit.

Because, so far, aside from Luminous Buddha and Lingbao Celestial Venerable briefly appearing last time, Saints still do not interfere in worldly disputes.

"This matter, is not something you and I can know."

"One thing is certain, the Daoist Lord, seems not to want to become a Saint."

Said the Ox Demon King, looking out toward the Immortal Palace, at a time when the Daoist Lord stood on the Celestial Dragon of Fortune, completely indifferent to the Quasi-Saint’s gathering in the North Sea for seats.

If during the Demon Realm events, not fighting for the seat and helping Lady Nuwa become a Saint was to repay Nie Xiaoqian.

Now, today, the Daoist Lord’s sole focus on ascending the Celestial Court shows clearly that he may truly lack the desire for the Saint’s seat...

"Honestly, if anyone else had the Daoist Lord’s power, wouldn’t they vie for the Saint’s seat with all they have?"

"But why does it seem like the Daoist Lord has no interest in becoming a Saint at all?"

Many people couldn’t help but murmur, unable to understand the Daoist Lord’s thoughts.

Yet some were full of emotion.

"Who wouldn’t want to be a Saint? The Daoist Lord simply worries that after becoming a Saint, he can’t better protect the people of the Daoist Court."

"For our sake, the Daoist Lord has given up supreme glory!"

"He really is...[I could cry to death]..."

This emotional statement of self-gratification, no one knows who first voiced it, directly sparked widespread recognition!

Causing Shen Gongbao, the only one who knew the truth, to have a twitch on the corner of his mouth.

...

On the Daoist Court’s side, fully focused on the ascension matter.

Meanwhile, in the North Sea, the coming storm was fully brewing.

With the descent of the Celestial Dao Gate.

All the Quasi-Saints intending to participate in the seat struggle had already successively arrived at the North Sea.

Among them, the majority were competitors from the previous round.

This time is different because there were no Lady Nuwa and East Buddha, nor did the Lord of the Daoist Court come to meddle.

Thus, the Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en with the Celestial Book of Divine Enthronement, the Confucian Mozi with the Saint’s Book, and the Demon Ancestor with the Donghuang Bell.

Became the strongest contenders for the seat in this round!

Very soon, a great battle erupted.

More than a dozen Quasi-Saints, along with three Extreme Sacred Weapons, each showed their divine power. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The fight soon escalated to the point where the heavens and earth shook, and the sun and moon lost their light.

The ancient, mysterious, and boundless North Sea suffered an unprecedented blow.

However, the struggle for the Saint’s seat, even if all life perishes, is of no concern to anyone.

Let alone a North Sea?

As the void shattered, the North Sea turned upside down, terrifying flames of war frequently descended.

At the bottom of the abyss, where no Dragon Race suppressed it, ancient array patterns began to loosen.
