The Heavenly Court Prepared for War; Donghua Appeared
In the chaos, the West Queen Mother looked at the path she had created. She could feel that she was very close to Donghua. As long as she broke through that red lightning, she would be able to see her brother.
However, just as the Three Pure Ones and others said, if he forcibly pulled and broke through the lightning, the Great Dao Divine Lightning that would descend would be incredibly powerful and would definitely not be as simple as it was before.
After all, none of them present could withstand the divine lightning that could trap their elder brother. If these seven Saints were to go all out, they could naturally resist it.
But let alone the Three Pure Ones, even Nuwa and Houtu would find it difficult to exert their full strength, and probably wouldn't want Donghua to escape his predicament or survive as soon as possible.
Because whether Donghua is trapped or perishes, it is in their best interest in the Primordial Wilderness.
But now, the West Queen Mother was truly unwilling to give up. If she were to give up just like that, she didn't know what kind of situation her brother would face. She wanted to help him in any way she could.
Nuwa stepped forward and gently patted the West Queen Mother on the shoulder.
"Sister Taizhen, now is not the time to act rashly. Being able to withstand the Great Dao Divine Lightning that just erupted is already the limit for us. If we force our way forward, we will have to use our last trump card, and even then, we may not be able to resist."
Houtu glanced at West Queen Mother without saying a word, but her eyes conveyed a desire for West Queen Mother to give up for the time being.
The West Queen Mother was not yet at the Hun Yuan, so she naturally did not know that the final wave of Great Dao Divine Lightning Thunder was at the peak of the Hunyuan Triple Heaven. If they went any further, they would definitely face Great Dao Divine Lightning of the Fourth Heaven or above.
With their current cultivation level, they might not even be able to withstand a single bolt of divine lightning.
Although the Third Heaven and the Fourth Heaven are only First Realm apart, they are as different as heaven and earth.
At this moment, the West Queen Mother was in a state of utter confusion. She knew that with her cultivation alone, it was impossible to withstand the Great Dao Divine Lightning, nor was it possible to open up such a path.
If the seven Saint give up, she has no choice but to give up as well.
Seeing the unwilling look in West Queen Mother's eyes, Zhunti chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Taizhen, don't worry. With the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable's cultivation, he should be fine. Besides, according to our calculations, he should be cultivating, or perhaps just undergoing tribulation!"
Tongtian nodded and said, "That makes sense. We are not familiar with the realms above the Fourth Heaven, and we don't know how to cultivate there."
"The sudden appearance of the Great Dao Divine Lightning can only mean two things: either Junior Brother Donghua has made a breakthrough in his cultivation and is undergoing tribulation, or Junior Brother Donghua may have touched a taboo of the Great Dao during his cultivation, which is why he attracted the Great Dao Divine Lightning."
"I cultivate the Jie Tian, and I always believe that there is always a way out. No matter what the situation, there is no certainty of death."
Hearing their words, the West Queen Mother's anxiety eased. Upon careful consideration, she realized that Tongtian's words made a lot of sense; she had indeed been too hasty.
"Thank you so much, fellow disciples. I am Taizhen grateful. I will definitely pay you a visit after my brother returns."
"It's alright, it's alright!"
"It's nothing!"
"..."
After exchanging pleasantries, only Yuanshi and Taishang stared intently at the red lightning at the end of the road, lost in thought.
In the Heaven Realm, Donghua, the Attachment Corpse Chunyang, and the Good Corpse Yuanyang appeared together at the Jingyang Palace. At this moment, the two were also hesitating whether to recall the Evil Corpse Jingyang.
Chunyang thought for a moment and said, "There's no rush. Let's stabilize the Heaven Realm and the Primordial Wilderness first. Although we've lost contact with our original body, the Great Dao still exists, which proves that our original body is only trapped and not in any danger!"
Yuanyang said, "That makes sense. After we stabilize the Primordial Wilderness, you will take charge of the Heavenly Court, and I will go to the Chaos to find my original body and see if I can offer any assistance."
"Good!"
"Good!"
Although the Three Corpses are incarnations, they possess a high degree of autonomy, much like the series of actions taken by the Evil Corpse the Minghe in the Demon Realm to Slaughter Sky Demon, and the series of actions taken by the Taishang Good Corpse, the Taishang Laojun, in the Heavenly Court in the original timeline.
This is also the Gao Ming of the Three Corpses Technique created by Hongjun. It can not only enhance Dao Realm Cultivation, but also create three powerful assistants. The three corpses are of one mind with the main body, have a high degree of autonomy, but are always under the control of the main body.
Because the Three Corpses are the manifestation of the Dao of the original body, if the original body dies, the Three Corpses will also cease to exist, and the cultivation of the Three Corpses will never surpass that of the original body. Whether or not to reclaim the Three Corpses is merely a matter of the original body's will.
In the Great Luo Heaven of the Heaven Realm, Chunyang sat high on the Emperor's Seat, looking down at the Immortals and Gods below, including the Five Directional Emperors, such as Fuxi, Hong Yun, Great Commander of Fate, Kunpeng, Haotian, as well as the Emperor Lord such as Shao Siming, Chang Xi, Randeng.
Today, summoned by Chunyang, all the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court are here, including Hong Yun, who is on temporary assignment, and Fuxi, who holds two positions, in the Lingxiao Palace.
Although Fuxi was reincarnated as the emperor of the human race, he was also Six Imperial Sovereigns of Heavenly Court, and this position was not taken away because of Fuxi reincarnation.
"Gentlemen, because my physical body has made progress in cultivation and is now comprehending the Dao in the Chaos, and the Empress is also protecting the Dao in the Chaos, I have summoned you all here today to issue this decree in order to prevent villains from causing trouble!"
These words immediately caused quite a stir, and those close to the emperor began to discuss them. After all, this was the first time since the establishment of the Heavenly Court that neither the Heavenly Emperor Empress had been present Heavenly Court.
In addition, given the previous tremors in the Heaven Realm, some intelligent people knew that this matter was not simple, and dared not ask about it.
"Quiet!"
Chunyang exuded a powerful Hun Yuan Chaos aura, instantly silencing the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Everyone trembled under the Hun Yuan Chaos aura; this was the first time they had seen the Great Heavenly Venerate enraged. Although it was an incarnation, as one of the Three Corpses, what difference was there between him and the original body?
Chunyang said in a deep voice, "From this moment on, the Heavenly Court will activate a level-two state of emergency. The Four Heavenly Kings will guard the four gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my decree."
The Four Heavenly Kings replied, "Your subjects obey the decree!"
The Four Heavenly Ying Zhao, Kaiming Beast, Lu Wu, and Li Zhu. They possess Quasi-Saint power and were personally appointed by Donghua when he ascended to the Heaven Realm, enjoying the treatment of Emperor Lord.
The Heavenly Court's state of preparedness is divided into three levels. The first level is almost a state of war, in which the entire power of the Heavenly Court is mobilized.
The second-level state is a state of war, where all departments, offices, and armies of the Heavenly Court await orders.
Third-class is the normal state!
Chunyang looked at Fuxi and said, "The Heavenly Sovereign Great Emperor guards the eastern part of the land!"
Fuxi immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, sir!"
"The Great Emperor Qinghua reigns supreme in the Heaven Realm. Anyone who dares to rebel or cause trouble will be executed without mercy!"
Great Commander of Fate: "Your subject obeys the decree!"
"The Five Directional Emperors reside in the Five Directions, patrolling the Primordial Wilderness. Any race, sect, or Great Powers who violates the laws and decrees of Heaven shall be arrested and brought to trial by the Three Judgments!"
Haotian, Barefoot Immortal, Yaochi, Longbo, and Taiyuan: "Your subjects obey the decree!"
"Demon Emperor Kunpeng, lead the other three Demon Emperors to guard the northern part of the Primordial Wilderness. Anyone who rebels will be killed without mercy!"
Kunpeng stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Your subject obeys the decree!"
"The Moon Emperor Sovereign Chang Xi reigns over the Starry Sky. If any scrolls appear in the Starry Sky, I will hold you responsible!"
Faced with this decree, Chang Xi hesitated for a moment. Although she was the Moon Star and the Moon Emperor Sovereign of the Heavenly Court, she had once been the Heavenly Consort of Di Jun, so she never cared about matters of the Starry Sky.
It's indeed a bit difficult to ask her to oversee the Starry Sky now. If she does well, nothing will happen; but if something really goes wrong, she'll definitely be made an example of.
But judging from the Great Heavenly Venerate's attitude today, he won't give her a chance to refuse at all.
"I obey the decree!"
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, how about we sit together in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and play a couple of Dao Chess?"
Hong Yun chuckled and said, "How could I refuse the Great Heavenly Venerate's command!"
"The remaining Emperor Lord, Great Immortal Lord, and Immortals shall remain in the Heavenly Court, awaiting orders!"
"Your Majesty, we obey!"
Chunyang hummed in agreement and said, "My lords, please don't overthink it. My true form is simply engaged in normal cultivation, and nothing will truly happen to me. If something were to happen, you wouldn't be able to see me anymore!"
Upon hearing this, the originally solemn Lingxiao Hall was instantly filled with laughter. Today, the lowest cultivation level in the hall was that of Daluo Golden Immortal, so how could they not understand the wonders of the Three Corpses?
As long as the "Great Heavenly Venerate" on the Emperor's Seat is unharmed, then the Great Heavenly Venerate will be fine. Moreover, given the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable's cultivation level, how could he possibly be in any danger?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the main hall had eased, Chunyang continued, "However, this is also a test for everyone."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chunyang, wanting to know what kind of test this was.
"You are all high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court, the lowest being Heavenly Court Lord. You naturally know that the Heavenly Court's primary task next is to conquer the Demon Realm and then pacify the Western God Realm."
"This time, let's take it as a test for everyone, and see if my Heavenly Court can suppress the Primordial Wilderness by relying on the Heavenly Emperor, or if you can suppress the Primordial Wilderness as it is now!"
"My lords, you must know that the Heavenly Court is not only the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Emperor, but also the Heavenly Court of you all!"
"Your humble servants will heed the teachings of the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable!"
Chunyang then said with satisfaction, "Go down and perform your duties. If any area under your responsibility has a problem, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After everyone had left, leaving only Hong Yun, Fuxi, Great Commander of Fate, Shao Siming, and a few others in the Heavenly Court, Hong Yun couldn't help but ask:
"Fellow Daoist, what exactly happened? Is Fellow Daoist Donghua alright?"
The group looked nervously at Chunyang. They had believed half of what he had said before, and now they wanted to hear the truth so they could know how to deal with the situation ahead.
Chunyang thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. My true form has indeed made some progress in cultivation, and is currently undergoing the tribulation of the Great Dao, which is why it is trapped in chaos and its connection has been severed."
After a moment's thought, the group had a general idea of what to do, and then began their respective tasks.
But what they're really thinking is anyone's guess; after all, people's hearts change over time.
While everyone was focused on Donghua's situation, our protagonist Donghua did indeed encounter great danger.
In the midst of chaos, when Donghua found himself surrounded by chaotic wind blades and Great Dao lightning, the Heavenly Emperor Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
The Heavenly Emperor Sword was slowly raised, and the Emperor Dao Power poured out. With the support of the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, a sword-shaped Innate Supreme Treasure, unleashed all its power at this moment.
In an instant, the majestic power of the Emperor's Way suppressed all the chaotic wind blades. The sword light, like a parallel line, directly slashed at the chaotic wind blades, instantly splitting them in two.
Faced with this scene, Donghua frowned, somewhat incredulous, not because of the power of the sword, but because the Chaos Wind Blade was too weak.
But Donghua didn't have time to think much. He could feel the Great Dao Divine Lightning above his head gathering terrifying power, a power that even he found unsettling.
Following the path he had carved out, Donghua leaped into the air, wielding the Heavenly Emperor Sword once more, gathering the Great Dao Power.
"One sword cleaves the heavens!"
The power of gods, immortals, and demons within his body merged into one, and the powerful primordial Hunyuan Magical Power was added to the Heavenly Emperor Sword, unleashing a single strike.
This sword strike is unparalleled!
The chaotic space was split open, and the sword light went straight ahead, tearing apart the chaotic wind blades in front of him. Donghua flashed away from the original spot.
Just as Donghua was about to return to the Primordial Wilderness, he discovered something was wrong, because he could no longer find Primordial Wilderness.
"How is this possible?"
You see, he was worried about something unexpected happening when he came to Chaos this time, so he chose a place very close to the Primordial Wilderness.
Now that they have broken through the encirclement of the chaotic wind blades, why can't they find their way back?
Donghua hurriedly tried to contact his three incarnations in the Primordial Wilderness, but found that all communication was interrupted.
No, it wasn't interrupted!
It's not that it can't be transmitted!
He seemed to be sealed away.
No, that's not right!
"The Way of Time and Space?"
At this moment, Donghua finally realized that something was wrong. He had indeed been on the edge of the Primordial Wilderness before, but now spacetime had been distorted, and he had been teleported here.
Donghua looked up at the Great Dao Divine Lightning of the Great Dao condensing above his head. The Great Dao Divine Lightning of the Great Dao, which seemed to be still condensing, had actually been condensed long ago.
"So the attack wasn't just launched by the Chaos Wind Blades, but also by the Great Dao Divine Lightning?"
What Donghua couldn't understand was why, despite being Great Dao Divine Lightning of the Great Dao, it possessed the power of spacetime? Why didn't the Great Dao Divine Lightning strike down but instead teleported him here?
"You're very clever; you figured it out so quickly!"
A voice suddenly rang out beside Donghua, which made Donghua feel as if he were facing a great enemy, because he had not detected any living beings here.
This situation either means the other party's cultivation level far surpasses one's own, or the other party is not human.
Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus instantly appeared beneath Donghua's feet, the Heavenly Emperor Seal manifested above his head, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand trembled.
"Who are you, you scoundrel? Why don't you show yourself?"
"Hahaha... Show yourself? Aren't I right above your head?"
Donghua looked up and saw that above him was still an endless expanse of red lightning.
Although Donghua didn't know who it was, the fact that they were hiding so secretively meant their cultivation level was definitely not much better than his; otherwise, they would have already attacked.
Immediately, the Great Dao Power began to circulate, and the majestic Emperor Dao illuminated the entire chaos, a golden world descended, and the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form appeared.
With a swing of the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, the power of the Emperor's Dao rules transformed into a sword beam that shot towards the sky.
"Boom!"
A deafening collision rang out!
After the storm subsided, the red lightning above remained, but the surrounding chaos had been reduced to nothingness by the powerful sword light. Small worlds appeared, only to be squeezed out and dissipated by the chaos.
Looking at the red lightning above his head, Donghua finally realized something was wrong—it wasn't lightning at all, but a person!
The boundless red lightning was merely that person's body!
