I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 3063 - 1447: Millennium Defeat, Stone Lotus Appears (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
The Demon Monarch not only possessed profound cultivation but had even refined Kang Jin and Kang Yu into a supreme treasure. Its explosive Sharp Dao was even more formidable than the Seventh Rank Kang Jin Dragon itself, effortlessly breaking through the Heavenly Court army and even severing the Treasure of Dao of the Thousand-Autumn Saint in direct combat.
Fortunately, the Thousand-Autumn Saint, blessed with deep virtuous fate, summoned a broken tower segment left behind by the Merciful Dao Ancestor, using it to block the Kanglong Scissors and fought a retreating battle alongside the Demon Monarch, enabling some subordinates to escape Burning Heaven.
However, due to the retreat, parts of the Heavenly Court army were left trapped in Burning Heaven.
When this news spread back, it naturally caused a stir in the Immortal Realm.
After all, the Thousand-Autumn Saint, who wielded Saintly Virtue and opposed magic dao cultivators, was the strongest among the Four Heavenly Kings.
With even him unable to withstand the Demon Monarch, does it mean the Heavenly Emperor must personally campaign?
No wonder so many True Immortal Dao Monarchs from the Thirty-Three Heavens were summoned.
Chen Mobai realized.
"Is the Thousand-Autumn Saint alright?"
Chen Mobai asked as he returned the jade slip.
Ji Yuhuan shook his head, indicating the Thousand-Autumn Saint was fine, but after losing to the Demon Monarch, the rebellion in the Western Eight Heavens, previously suppressed, was once again flaring up, even beginning to spread towards the other three World Heavens.
"The Lingkong Immortal Realm hides many Seventh Rank magic dao experts, who previously could only hide under the threat of the Heavenly Court. But now with the Demon Monarch emerging, many have gathered and started a rebellion, raising the banner to respond to the Demon Monarch, aiming to reform heaven and earth."
Ji Yuhuan pulled out several jade slips, containing the latest intelligence from the Void Department.
Chen Mobai saw familiar names like the Black Fly Demon God, Blood Transformation Sky Demon, and Ancient Demon.
"It seems this news can’t be kept secret for much longer."
Clearly, although the Heavenly Court wanted to seal off the news, the magic dao was eager for the world to know. The rebellions across the Immortal Realm’s various World Heavens clearly indicated that the top-tier magic dao experts were already aware of the Thousand-Autumn Saint’s defeat by the Demon Monarch.
For magic dao cultivators, the threat of the Thousand-Autumn Saint was even greater than the Heavenly Emperor.
"Therefore, the Heavenly Court must suppress the Demon Monarch as quickly as possible."
Ji Yuhuan said.
Chen Mobai nodded, looking at the two Dao Monarchs who had arrived again, his initial shock gradually settled.
From a strength perspective, the Heavenly Court definitely held the advantage.
If the Heavenly Emperor took action, the Demon Monarch would surely be no match.
Even if the Heavenly Emperor couldn’t handle it alone, wasn’t there still the Taixu True King?
"Is the Thousand-Autumn Saint a disciple of Brother Ci Bei?"
Chen Mobai thought of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda given to the Spiritual Venerable, speculating that the one in the Thousand-Autumn Saint’s possession was likely another section, and curiously asked.
"The Thousand-Autumn Saint is self-taught, having touched upon all kinds of inheritances from the Creation Seven Saints Dao."
Ji Yuhuan spoke while handing over a jade slip about the life of the Thousand-Autumn Saint, and upon reading it, Chen Mobai was full of admiration.
Truly a tale of hard study from humble beginnings, he was the only postnatal spirit to ascend to Innate Dao Monarch, extremely inspiring.
The segment of Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was left behind after the previous Pure Heavenly King’s failed attempt to ascend to the Innate Great Dao. After the Thousand-Autumn Saint succeeded this title, it was granted by the Heavenly Emperor.
Subsequently, Chen Mobai began reviewing the information about Brother Ci Bei’s lineage.
It wasn’t until Kongming returned that he reluctantly left the Quiet Chamber of the Void Department. It contained all the information from the opening of the Lingkong Immortal Realm, capable of answering virtually any question.
"Little Martial Uncle, the situation is urgent, and I only now have time to report to you."
Kongming, upon seeing Chen Mobai, first apologized.
"What does the Heavenly Emperor plan to do?"
Chen Mobai directly inquired about this.
"The Eastern Taihuang Heavenly King and Northern Cold Halberd Heavenly King have already received orders to lead the armies of the Eastern Eight Heavens and Northern Eight Heavens to support the Pure Heavenly King in the Western Eight Heavens. The Eight Divisions are also to dispatch a True Immortal to lead disciples along. Essentially, they have mobilized over half of the Heavenly Court experts from the Thirty-Three Heavens to suppress this Demon Monarch rebellion."
Kongming relayed the result freshly decided in the Ziwei Palace to Chen Mobai.
This time, the Heavenly Court had mobilized nearly every resource.
Besides the front lines at Burning Heaven, the Eight Divisions needed to suppress or even eliminate the Ancient Demons causing chaos elsewhere.
Even if the Ancient Demons revive later, the Heavenly Emperor does not wish to see them during this period.
Chen Mobai nodded, believing that the major rebellion incited by the Burning Heaven Demon Monarch would soon be easily suppressed by the combined efforts of the Three Great Heavenly Kings.
However, developments exceeded Chen Mobai’s expectations.
When the Taihuang Heavenly King led the Eastern Eight Heavens’ Heavenly Court army to the west, the Cold Halberd Heavenly King’s Northern Heavenly Court army failed to move for a long time.
The Heavenly Emperor repeatedly issued decrees; each time the Cold Halberd Heavenly King received one, his army only advanced a step westward, moving slowly.
The reason given was that his subordinates were disobedient.
"The Northern Eight Heavens were once the Empress’s domain, with the Star Temple deeply rooted there. Although the Cold Halberd Heavenly King is also the Great Dao Incarnation of the Ancestor Dragon, he is somewhat lazy and dislikes action, so over the years, he still hasn’t fully controlled it."
Kongming provided Chen Mobai with the latest intelligence, to which the latter could only think the Cold Halberd Heavenly King, this Innate Dao Monarch, was somewhat incompetent.
If he were in charge, it wouldn’t take a hundred years to turn the Northern Eight Heavens into an unassailable stronghold.
Chen Mobai: "Don’t the Immortals of the Northern Eight Heavens have any reverence for the Heavenly Emperor’s orders?"
Kongming: "The Northern Eight Heavens were once co-developed by the One-star Taoist Ancestor and the Mother of Water. After the Heavenly Court’s founding, it became the Empress’s stronghold. Above and below, only the Star Temple and the Empress are recognized, not the Heavenly Emperor."
This would give the Heavenly Emperor an excuse for reckoning.
However, with Myriad Spirits captured, perhaps the Star Temple was already prepared for this, seeing it as a rare opportunity to negotiate with the Heavenly Emperor.
"Yesterday, the Tianxuan Daoist Monarch of the Star Temple applied to teleport to Mi Luo Heaven, seemingly intending to discuss this, but the Heavenly Emperor suppressed the request, not allowing her to come."
Kongming mentioned another event.
The Heavenly Court’s Seventh Rank True Immortals generally had Dao Monarch titles, but this also subjected them to the Heavenly Rules’ constraints. For instance, Mi Luo Heaven wasn’t somewhere they could come to at will.
"Will the Heavenly Emperor compromise?"
Chen Mobai asked, as if there were a compromise, Myriad Spirits might be released, which wouldn’t be beneficial to him.
Kongming: "The Heavenly Emperor and Empress already broke ties, a broken mirror can’t be repaired, and even without the Northern Eight Heavens’ army, the combined force of the Three Great Heavenly Kings can still suppress the Demon Monarch."
Hearing this, Chen Mobai relaxed.
Considering the Heavenly Emperor’s status and realm, even if the Heavenly Court fell, he likely wouldn’t bow his head or admit any past mistakes.
Moreover, the more the Star Temple manipulated the Northern Eight Heavens’ army, the more it would firm the Heavenly Emperor’s resolve for destruction.
Then, Chen Mobai asked about the Cold Halberd Heavenly King’s background.
He learned it was the first White Dragon of the Three Realms, associated with the Innate Freeze Extinction Path, a type of End Path, and possessed great strength.
Kongming: "Little Martial Uncle, I plan to go to the frontline personally this time to see who this Demon Monarch truly is."
Kongming’s judgment aligned with Chen Mobai’s; as a disciple of the Taixu True King, he believed that the Demon Monarch couldn’t destabilize the Heavenly Court’s governance.
Thus, he considered this rebellion suppression as an opportunity for merit.
Yet, with Kongming’s status, it wasn’t about claiming rewards but genuine curiosity.
After all, since the Lingkong Immortal Realm’s inception, there hadn’t been such a large-scale rebellion.
Currently, every True Immortal Dao Monarch in the Heavenly Court was extremely curious about the Demon Monarch in Burning Heaven, eager to understand how he silently ascended to the Innate.
With the Taixu True King away and the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler indifferent, Chen Mobai was presently the senior-most of the Taixu Heaven lineage, thus receiving reports and making decisions.
At this time, Chen Mobai glimpsed a piece of the future.
It was a gray-white stone lotus.
He was instantly alerted, recalling the World-ending Millstone that had disappeared from his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.
"Kongming, come with me to Taixu Heaven; leave this matter to others."
Upon realizing the Demon Monarch might be the End of Destiny Great Dao of the Lingkong Immortal Realm, Chen Mobai promptly remarked.
