Daoist Wu's heart was filled with awe: "The fall of the Great Ming, is it also related to the struggle between immortals and gods?"
Since ascending to the Earth Immortal Realm, the immortals there have not paid much attention to the dynastic changes of the Ancestral Court, and many do not know what dynasty the Ancestral Court is in now. Although Daoist Wu was aware of the fall of the Great Ming Dynasty, he did not understand the reasons behind its fall.
True Master Wen Shi said, "The fall of the Great Ming led to frost and snow from the heavens, lasting for thirty years, killing countless crops by freezing, and leaving corpses everywhere, causing the people's hearts to seek change. This led to the later Great Shun Uprising and the fall of the Great Ming. However, even now, Great Shun is not doing well. Soone wants to stir up public resentnt to nurture a world-destroying Great Demon."
His idea of world-destroying was to destroy the Huaxia Ancestral Court, not to annihilate the Earth Immortal Realm.
But the destruction of the Huaxia Ancestral Court is no small matter!
Daoist Wu, upon hearing this, hurriedly left to prepare the travel docunts.
"That person must have brought a Demon Seed to the Ancestral Court and changed the celestial phenona there to stir up public resentnt and nurture the Great Demon."
True Master Wen Shi said in a low voice, "I don't know which Daoist friend would do such a thing? It seems sowhat excessive."
Heavenly Court, Li Mansion.
This place was originally the Heavenly King Mansion, the residence of King Li. Later, because Heavenly King Chen took away two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and the title of General of the World was removed, it beca the Li Mansion.
King Li's injuries were mostly healed. On his return journey from Penglai West, the Three Altar Sea eting Great God remained with him unwaveringly. Fortunately, upon arriving at the Heavenly Court, this rebellious son did not dare to act rashly.
"Logically, the scout should have brought back news by now."
King Li was sowhat anxious. Chen Shi led twenty thousand immortals to the Ancestral Court, which he thought was sowhat careless and not yet seasoned.
"He should have first dispatched a Heavenly Soldier Camp, with over a thousand people, to explore the source of this demonic chaos in the Ancestral Court. If anyone was annoying, he could send them to their death."
King Li shook his head, thinking Chen Shi's actions were not mature.
"His actions are rough and he won't live long. This chaos in the Ancestral Court is definitely being stirred by soone in the Earth Immortal Realm, aiming to destroy the gods' orthodoxy."
King Li said in a low voice, "The opponent must be fully prepared, and without experts in his army, he is dood!"
In Taiwei Yuqing Palace, Taibai Star Lord sat opposite the Great Heavenly Venerate, playing chess with the supre deity of the Heavenly Court, and said, "This ti, King Li also sent scouts, probably to see when Heavenly King Chen will die and if he can reclaim the title of Grand Marshal. He still doesn't know why he lost the title of Grand Marshal."
The Jade Emperor placed a black piece on the board and said, "He knows, he's just playing dumb."
Taibai Star Lord was slightly startled, then understood and laughed: "Your Majesty is right, King Li is indeed pretending to be confused. He has three faces: one as a divine, one as an immortal, and one as a disciple of the Ancient Lamp Buddha. Although he is your Grand Marshal, he has never given up on the other two identities."
He stared at the chessboard, and after a mont, placed a white piece on it, saying, "If it were in the past, his two-faced dealings would not have worried you, Your Majesty. But now, with the intensifying conflict between immortals and gods, he is reluctant to let go of his immortal and Buddhist identities, which may cause you so unease."
The Jade Emperor said nothing.
Taibai Star Lord said, "That's why when Chen Shi took away his two hundred thousand soldiers, you did not stop it, intending to give him a warning, letting him know where he should stand. He cannot keep standing on three ships forever."
The Jade Emperor placed another piece, "He knows, but he cherishes his life and does not want to beco a deity."
Taibai Star Lord laughed: "He has too many ideas. Your Majesty, Chen Shi going to the Ancestral Court to quell the demonic chaos, will he succeed? He is still just a True Immortal, isn't he?"
"Do not underestimate him,"
Great Heavenly Venerate said, "When he obtained the Dao Ruins, the Abnormal Point of the Great Dao appeared for him to refine. His talent is astonishing."
When Chen Shi refined the Abnormal Point of the Great Dao, the Great Heavenly Venerate was also present, hidden in the shadows. At that ti, Chen Shi had just ascended and was able to refine the Abnormal Point of the Great Dao, making the Great Heavenly Venerate reevaluate him.
Taibai Star Lord said: "Even so, the gap between him and the opponent is too great. The opponent might have sent a Great Demon to the Ancestral Court to nurture it with public resentnt. This demon may already be taking shape."
Great Heavenly Venerate said: "Chen Shi's victory or defeat is of no consequence."
Taibai Star Lord was stunned, not understanding the aning: "I am dull."
Great Heavenly Venerate said: "Chen Shi's visit is rely to draw the snake from its hole, forcing the person behind the demonic chaos to reveal themselves. His actions have nothing to do with victory or defeat. The true victory or defeat lies between the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court."
He smiled slightly, placing the winning piece on the chessboard, leisurely saying, "The struggles between little people cannot decide victory or defeat. Whether Chen Shi wins or loses, he will always be My Heavenly Dao Divine Person."
Taibai Star Lord carefully examined the chessboard, pondering for a long ti, then rose and bowed deeply to the ground: "Your Majesty's chess skills are unparalleled. I am in awe, with admiration as deep as the ground!"
Great Heavenly Venerate arose, smiled: "You let win again."
Han Valley Pass. Daoist Wu sent eight hundred years of travel docunts, as few immortals travel to and from the Ancestral Court, only a few hundred copies, recording these people's reasons for entering and leaving the Ancestral Court, on whose orders, how long they stayed, and so on.
True Master Wen Shi quickly flipped through these docunts, saying: "A few years ago, Immortal Master Erlang left the Ancestral Court, departed from Han Valley Pass, and entered the Earth Immortal Realm? Did he go to the Earth Immortal Realm to report the Ancestral Court's demonic chaos to the Great Heavenly Venerate?"
Daoist Wu said: "He should have."
True Master Wen Shi's eyes flashed: "With him in the Ancestral Court, what demonic chaos cannot be quelled? He should have returned to the Ancestral Court, right? The Great Heavenly Venerate arranged for him to stay at the Ancestral Court, ensuring everything was foolproof... Wait, did Immortal Wencheng enter the Ancestral Court and has not co out yet?"
Daoist Wu leaned in to examine the docunts, and after a mont, said: "He has not co out."
