One had to know that in ancient times, the Heavenly Emperor had opened the Heavenly Court and unified the Thirty-Three Heavens. Even Immortal Emperors had to submit to the Heavenly Emperor and act according to the Heavenly Emperor's decrees.
After the Heavenly Court collapsed, the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Immortal Realm fell apart. Countless Immortal Courts, holy lands, ancient hidden clans, and sects each occupied their own territories, living free and carefree. No one wished to see the Heavenly Court return.
Therefore, they all attached immense importance to the news that Li Qingshan, the Heavenly Emperor's Successor, had emerged.
Ji Hong glanced at Mystic Mechanism Immortal Venerable. Mystic Mechanism Immortal Venerable gave a slight nod, indicating that Venerable Zi Yang, Ling Shu, and Dark Immortal Venerable had not spoken falsely.
Only then did Ji Hong set his mind at ease.
He and Mystic Mechanism Immortal Venerable had an excellent personal relationship, and he trusted Mystic Mechanism Immortal Venerable without reserve. Since Mystic Mechanism Immortal Venerable said there was no problem, then there naturally was no problem.
"Since Li Qingshan possesses the battle prowess of a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, as well as a supreme treasure like the Chaos Tower, killing him will likely not be easy, will it?"
Ji Hong pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"That's right! Killing Li Qingshan will not be easy. After all, the entire Immortal Realm is now saying that he is the legendary Son of Destiny!"
Venerable Zi Yang nodded.
Ji Hong frowned. "If so, then why did you, Fellow Daoist Zi Yang, spread the news that Li Qingshan is the Heavenly Emperor's Successor throughout the entire Immortal Realm? Are you not afraid that someone else will kill him and the Heavenly Emperor's Successor will fall into another's hands?"
Venerable Zi Yang smiled calmly.
