Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 738 - 730: Not Competing for Immortal Gods

Since the dissolution of the Dao Court, chaos in the Human World has been continuous. Even though more than a million years have passed, no sect has been able to unify the world. However, the overall power of the Celestial Spirit Great World has been constantly increasing. This is evident from the Heavenly Dao Light Layer that envelops the Celestial Spirit Great World, which has become increasingly brilliant, extending its illumination over a wider range of the universe.

The names of the hundred sects in the Human World have gradually been eliminated by time, and the world’s layout is ushering in new changes.

In the context of contention among numerous heroes, the gap between sects has begun to widen.

Nine sects have emerged, becoming the supreme Daoist lineages in the hearts of the people.

In the years that followed, Taiyi Immortal Monarch and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong widely dispersed immortal fates in the Human World, promoting the development of immortal cultivation techniques.

Meanwhile, in the Three Thousand Great Worlds of Outer Heaven, traces of Immortal Gods have started to appear, and the prelude to the struggle for the Son of Heaven is brewing.

Taiwei Great World.

In a bright and grand palace, Zhu Xi, dressed in majestic golden robes, sat in the principal seat. Her hair was coiled high, bound beneath a holy crown, her expression severe, with an oppressive aura of indifference to all living beings emanating from her brow.

Many cultivators stood in the hall, all wearing the same large robes, each with a dignified and martial bearing.

An elderly white-haired cultivator stepped forward, cupped his hands in salute to Zhu Xi, and said, "Your Majesty, although the words of that Immortal God cannot be fully trusted, we must still exercise caution. If such a catastrophe truly befalls the Three Thousand Great Worlds, our Holy Court must prepare in advance."

Upon these words, the others in the hall voiced their agreement one after another.

Since the mysterious supreme entity obliterated the Divine Court, Zhu Xi seized the opportunity to establish the Holy Court. Although it has gone through many tribulations, the Holy Court has now finally managed to barely grasp the Taiwei Great World and can be called the Master of Taiwei Great World.

Not long ago, a Star Monarch descended, claiming to come from the Celestial Court, seeking heavenly secrets, and then divulged the struggle for the Son of Heaven.

This matter greatly shocked the nobility of the Holy Court. Zhu Xi sent them back to digest it individually, and only after a few days did they begin to discuss it.

Now, most holy officials believe that this matter cannot be taken lightly, and one must be sent to Outer Heaven to investigate if other Great Thousand Worlds have received the news. Concurrently, they must quickly control the Taiwei Great World.

The Taiwei Great World is indeed too deep. Even though Zhu Xi has already united many world clans, there are still many forces in the Taiwei Great World that make the Holy Court wary.

As Zhu Xi listened to the ministers’ discussions, her face remained expressionless, but she felt a headache and helplessness.

After finally stabilizing the situation, an even greater calamity emerged.

As for whether the struggle for the Son of Heaven was real, she saw the threat of the Celestial Court.

The cultivation level of that Star Monarch was unfathomable. Even if what he said was false, the Holy Court would still have to face him.

Even though the current Holy Court controlled most of the world, she truly lacked confidence in facing the Star Monarch.

But she knew that she must make a decision and take action.

"The struggle for the Son of Heaven indeed cannot be ignored, but the great plans for the world also must be executed on the path."

Zhu Xi spoke slowly. As she spoke, everyone fell silent, waiting for her orders.

She began to issue orders one by one, mobilizing the overall strength of the Holy Court. The holy officials in the hall took their orders successively. As one sacred decree after another was issued, a chilling atmosphere spread over the grand hall.

After a long time.

All the holy officials left, and Zhu Xi stood up, disappearing into thin air within the grand hall.

The next second, she appeared in a bamboo forest and stepped toward the depths of the bamboo forest.

As she proceeded, a pavilion surrounded by cyan bamboo appeared in front of her. In front of the pavilion, there was a small courtyard planted with various flowers and plants. Before she got close, a fragrant scent penetrated Zhu Xi’s nose.

She walked straight into the courtyard and stopped in front of the main door, saying, "Senior, I have a matter for which I must seek your help."

"Does it concern the Celestial Court?"

An ancient voice came from within the pavilion, causing Zhu Xi to raise her eyebrows, as a strange light flickered in her eyes.

"That’s right, senior anticipated it?" Zhu Xi asked curiously.

"When that Han Sha Immortal Monarch descended to the mortal world before, he mentioned the struggle for the Son of Heaven. He was acting on behalf of a certain Son of Heaven, having the Divine Court collect living beings to refine a Demon God Body. The Demon God Body possesses power comparable to an Immortal God, and it is an important piece for that Son of Heaven."

The ancient voice sounded again, with no trace of emotion in its tone.

Zhu Xi had already speculated about this. That Immortal God making the Divine Court capture so many mortal spirits was clearly preparing for something major. Now, the news of the struggle for the Son of Heaven had come, and it was evidently related.

"The struggle for the Son of Heaven is unstoppable. It is both a crisis and an opportunity. I know why you have come. Since the struggle for the Son of Heaven is about to begin, I will support you. But you need to promise me one thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately asked, "What is it?"

The senior in the pavilion was no ordinary person. He was once the master of the Divine Court and had lived for an untold number of years. Disapproving of the Divine Court and Immortal Gods’ actions, he left the Divine Court.

Meeting him was a stroke of fate for Zhu Xi. Although the senior had never really helped her directly, he had provided much intelligence, which allowed her to avoid many troubles.

"If the Son of Heaven you support wins, you cannot compete for the title of Immortal God." The ancient voice said slowly.

Zhu Xi felt puzzled and asked, "If we do not compete for the title of Immortal God, why should we support the Son of Heaven?"

"Do you have any other options?"

Zhu Xi fell silent.

The Star Monarch personally came; she and the Holy Court probably had no choice but to comply.

"I have never experienced the struggle for the Son of Heaven, but I once saw some records in a certain ruin on the Path of the Great Dao. The struggle for the Son of Heaven has no true winner, especially for all living beings. Getting too close to Immortal Gods during such a catastrophe is not a good thing. I do not want the future master of Heaven and Earth to lead Taiwei to its doom."

"You should remember the war a million years ago. The Divine Court, as powerful as it was, could not stand against a single individual, just as the Great Dao itself. The Three Thousand Great Worlds seem vast and boundless, but in the eyes of the Immortal Gods, they might be of little significance."

The words of the ancient voice made Zhu Xi’s face turn grim.

She had long felt the arrogance of the Immortal Gods. The other’s words made her sense a great crisis.

Upon confirming that the struggle for the Son of Heaven was real, she had also developed an ambition to become an Immortal God. If she felt this way, what of others?

Once the struggle for the Son of Heaven begins, and the Immortal Gods promise ascension, her control over the Holy Court would be difficult to maintain.

Zhu Xi stood before the door, contemplating for a long time.

She took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I promise you!"

Clang!

The door opened, and a token flew toward Zhu Xi. It was a green jade token, emitting a golden light, rotating autonomously.

"Take this token to the Ancient God Shengzhou and meet that Supreme. He will know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi’s face showed joy. She knew what the Supreme of Ancient God Shengzhou represented. Not only was the Supreme’s divine skills vast, but his disciples were also innumerable and widespread throughout the world. With his support, the Holy Court would undoubtedly be able to completely control the Taiwei Great World.

"Thank you, senior!"
