Chapter 503

"This should be the trigger that the Great Dao Will instigated the conflict between you and the Celestial Venerables of all realms!"

Li Luoshang said decisively.

"There's no time to lose, I have to go back right away!"

"I am unable to return to the heavens. This magical artifact has been with me for a long time, so I lent it to the princess. I hope everything goes well."

Li Luoshang took out a delicate little pagoda from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Minghuang.

Xiao Minghuang didn't examine it closely, accepted the small tower, thanked him, and then transformed into a rainbow and disappeared.

Watching her departing figure, Li Luoshang sighed, "So eager? I hadn't finished speaking..."

Before Immortal Venerable Qing Guang had left, he asked, "Is there anything else, Luoshang?"

"To be honest, I have a daughter..."

At the same time.

Wuji Heaven Realm

Wuji Immortal Palace.

Inside the magnificent palace, several imposing figures sat solemnly in the void, their expressions dignified and exuding boundless power, as majestic and awe-inspiring as a divine mountain hanging high in the nine heavens.

These people were none other than Wuji Heavenly Venerable, Fufeng Heavenly Venerable, Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue, Heavenly Venerable Lingguang, and Qionming Heavenly Venerable.

Below them, a woman in white stood respectfully, her expression humble.

Qionming Heavenly Venerable frowned slightly and said, "You mean, you and Wushang went to the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom to cause trouble, and were not only defeated in one blow, but you even lost your Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure there?!"

The woman in white whispered:

"Yes..."

"You bastard!"

Qionming Heavenly Venerable's face darkened, and she rebuked him. "I have said more than once that with the great calamity imminent, you must concentrate on your cultivation and not cause trouble. Why did you go and provoke trouble, creating unnecessary complications!"

"That Ziwei Immortal King is a figure I wouldn't even want to provoke. You've really gotten me into big trouble!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Another voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Qiongming, your words only embolden others and diminish our own morale. That Ziwei Immortal King is merely an Immortal Ziwei Immortal King. He treats the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure as if it were the Heavenly Venerable himself, yet he showed no respect whatsoever. He even dared to seize the treasure and imprison our disciples. This is truly an act of insubordination and utter treason!"

"How can we, as dignified Celestial Venerables, endure such humiliation?!"

Upon hearing this, both Heavenly Venerable Lingguang and Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue nodded in agreement. The latter even stated directly, "There's no time to lose. I'll personally go and retrieve those good-for-nothing children, along with our precious treasures. As for how to deal with Ziwei Immortal King, we'll discuss it carefully after I bring her back."

"That's excellent!"

The Fufeng Heavenly Venerable his hands in approval.

"What does Fellow Daoist Wuji mean?"

All four Celestial Venerables looked at the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, who was the ruler of the Three Upper Heavens and one of the three Heavenly Heaven Patrol Officer of the Heavenly Court. In principle, all Celestial Venerables of all realms were subject to his control.

The Wuji Heavenly Venerable said calmly, "You can discuss and decide what to do; there's no need to ask me."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The figure of Wuji Heavenly Venerable faded away and disappeared.

Seeing this, Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by that? This whole thing was caused by Wuji's son, Wushang, yet he, the one directly responsible, is ignoring it all!"

"Don't worry about him, it's a minor matter, we'll handle it."

The Fufeng Heavenly Venerable offered his advice.

"Sigh, forget it!"

Heavenly Venerable Lingguang waved his hand. "Since Wuji is unwilling to get involved, we shouldn't force him. Let's just consider it a favor."

"I will not get involved in this matter. I will retrieve my treasure through communication with the Ziwei Immortal King."

Qionming Heavenly Venerable waved his hand and pulled the woman in white away from the Wuji Immortal Palace.

"Hmph! Ungrateful!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The Ziwei Star Domain.

Imperial Court.

Above the clouds, a figure quietly appeared, a black sword hanging at his waist. He was tall and had a cold face.

It was none other than Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue.

His gaze swept across the sky and earth, and he immediately spotted the aura of the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure. He then made a gesture, unleashing an irresistible suction force!

Inside the Five Directions Divine Palace, Ye Ruoshui and the other four women were busy with their own tasks, some cultivating, others handling trivial matters.

Suddenly, an irresistible suction force descended from the sky, sucking them all into the void vortex without warning, and they disappeared.

A moment later, a blinding golden light flashed by, and Ye Ruoshui and the other five women finally regained consciousness.

"Us..."

Ye Ruoshui opened her eyes and was immediately stunned.

A man dressed in black stood before them, exuding a chilling aura of murderous intent.

"Who are you?"

However, the man in black ignored him and waved his hand. Five Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure flew out from the bodies of Ye Ruoshui and the other four women, hovering in mid-air, radiating countless streams of light, magnificent and dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, the man grabbed with his right hand.

Five uniquely shaped immortal Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure fell into the man's hands.

Such a treasure does not belong to you.

The force applied to the women instantly rendered them powerless to resist.

What are you going to do?

Sensing the actions of the man in black, Ye Ruoshui was greatly alarmed.

"Treat them as they treat you!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The black light shrank infinitely, becoming the size of a fist, and landed in the black-clad man's hand.

"Use you little shrimps to catch a big fish."

After saying that, the man in black turned and left, disappearing in an instant.

Not long after.

A woman's figure appeared in the clouds.

It was Xiao Minghuang had just returned to the Ziwei Star Domain from Outer Deep Space.

She immediately sensed that the auras of Ye Ruoshui and the other four women had disappeared from the Ziwei Great World.

A beam of black light flashed and rushed straight towards her.

Xiao Minghuang's eyes darkened, and he casually grabbed something.

Instantly, a gray talisman appeared in his palm.

Four large characters were clearly written above:

The Wuji Heaven Realm, the Wuji Immortal Palace.

"As expected, we arrived too late."

Her expression turned grave. Without even guessing, she knew that it must have been the work of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable who had kidnapped Ye Ruoshui and the other four women, forcing her to go to the Heavenly Realm.

"Don't rush."

The figure of Immortal Venerable Qing Guang appeared and comforted them, "Even if they kidnap Ruoshui and the others, they won't harm them. Their target is you. Besides, don't you have their relatives in your hands?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded, her emotions calming down slightly.

"Moreover, the Celestial Venerables of the various realms are not a monolithic entity, and the Celestial Venerables of the various star domains generally do not stand on the side of the Heavenly Court. They are all forces that we can win over."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang wholeheartedly agreed, "Indeed, I don't know about others, but the Longevity Heavenly Venerable intends to stay out of it. Also, we can try to win over the Jingyun Immortal Venerable."

"See? Actually, the advantage is on our side."

Immortal Venerable Qing Guang laughed and said, "The Heavenly Court is like a grasshopper in autumn; it won't be able to hop around for much longer!"

"Hmm, not bad."

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly.

However, a lingering worry remained in her heart.

She had a feeling that the gathering of celestial beings from the heavens was an ominous sign, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

589. Where is my wife?

"There are three main purposes for this trip to the Heavenly Court: first, to rescue Ruoshui and the other four; second, to obtain the Origin Fragment of the Fenwang Star Domain; and third, to break down the gates of the Heavenly Prison and release the Eight Mountains and Nine Seas Ancient Immortals imprisoned there."

"I will handle the last two tasks. Princess, you only need to focus your efforts on how to rescue Ruoshui and the others."

"Yes, I will tell the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable about this. I'm sure they will lend a hand and help buy some time."

"At that time, you must not act impulsively. Wait until I retrieve the fragment of the Burning King's Origin and give it to you, and then we can make a decision after you have advanced to the Immortal Venerable realm!"

"Um."

Xiao Minghuang responded, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"Wait, as of now, He shouldn't know about our current conversation, right?"

Immortal Venerable Qing Guang composed himself and said, "We are not His primary focus. As long as we keep a low profile, He will not pay us any attention."

"That's good. If, and I mean if, I were to follow His expectations and go to the Thirty-three Heavens to stir up a storm, would He help me or the Three Heavenly Venerables?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Qing Guang was taken aback, but quickly recovered, a look of surprise appearing on his face. "You mean?"

"That's right!" Xiao Minghuang laughed, "We'll go to the Heavenly Court first, retrieve the fragments of the Burning King's Origin, and then go to the Wuji Heaven Realm."

"Good!"

Immortal Venerable Qing Guang nodded with delight.

After saying that, the two figures flickered and disappeared without a trace.

The Supreme Heaven Realm.

The Supreme Heavenly Palace.

This is the most central area of the entire Heavenly Court.

At this moment, Supreme Heavenly Hall, several elderly men sat cross-legged. They all had white hair and beards, and their auras were ethereal, giving people a profound and unfathomable feeling.

However, these old men were all Celestial Kings.

There wasn't a single Celestial Venerable in the entire Heavenly Court!

In fact, since the Heavenly Venerables of the Upper Three Heavens Realms took over the Heavenly Court, they have not stayed in the Supreme Heaven Realm, but have been remotely controlling the Heavenly Court from their respective Heavenly Palaces. They only gather in the Heavenly Court when making decisions on important matters.

Therefore, although the Three Heavenly Venerables held leadership of the Heavenly Court, they could not actually arbitrarily handle the daily affairs of the Heavenly Court.

The true operators of the Heavenly Court are still these veteran Celestial Kings.

"Buzz--"
