Reverend Insanity Chapter 2332 - Heavenly Court’s Resolve
Previously on Reverend Insanity...
Zhao Lian Yun and her companions promptly shot looks of astonishment toward Vicious Lightning Fiend.
Vicious Lightning Fiend’s countenance reddened—a rare sight indeed—as he clarified: “The Lightning Deities sustained damage during the detonation, and the qi path dao marks etched into them render them difficult to command. If my focus wavers, they will spiral into a berserk state.”
A collective gasp of realization swept through the group.
They had felt a tremor of anxiety just moments prior, fearing that the Lightning Deities were falling victim to some cryptic, unseen assault.
Several heartbeats later, Old Lord Can Yang visibly exhaled, remarking: “They are our allies.”
Without delay, two rank eight Gu Immortals materialized before the assembly.
They were prominent rank eight supreme elders hailing from Heaven’s Envy Manor and Spirit Butterfly Valley.
Upon catching sight of them, the gathered immortals felt a surge of relief.
Being rank eight Gu Immortals, these supreme elders possessed a vast repertoire of techniques; they succeeded in stabilizing the injuries of Yang Feng and Old Lord Can Yang, though the relief provided was modest.
Just as the assembly plotted their next steps for rescue, white qi billowed and surged, pushed aside as if by some colossal, crimson beast.
In the wake of this movement, a ghostly red silhouette emerged from the heart of the white qi—the rank eight Immortal Gu House known as the Demon Judgment Board!
Gu Yue Fang Zheng held the reigns from within, and upon spotting the group of immortals, he brought the vessel to a halt.
Beams of sanguine light erupted from the Demon Judgment Board, washing over the wounded.
They offered no resistance, allowing Gu Yue Fang Zheng to administer his healing.
While their conditions saw a degree of improvement, their severe wounds remained far from fully mended.
Despite being a rank eight Immortal Gu House, the Demon Judgment Board was primarily designed for interrogation and investigation; its prowess in direct combat and healing, by comparison, was notably limited.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng pondered the situation briefly before addressing the ten children of human path sheltered inside the Immortal Gu House: “The situation has grown dire. Friends, might I seek your assistance in traversing the area to treat the others?”
“Lord Fang Zheng, do not trouble yourself with such formalities. The ten great ancient sects are mere subsidiaries of the Heavenly Court; we share the same banners. We shall strive to offer whatever aid we can to the rest!” the ten children of human path replied with haste.
They were fortunate to have escaped the initial blast, having sought refuge within Divine Emperor City earlier.
Divine Emperor City had been battered by the efforts of Shen Shang and Lu Wei Yin, after which it retreated into the Heavenly Court alongside Fei He Mountain and other landmarks.
There was no alternative; had it lingered in Central Continent, Fang Yuan’s true body would have surely dismantled it.
Genesis Lotus’ will remained in command of Divine Emperor City. While he possessed the confidence to stall Shen Shang and Lu Wei Yin, the prospect of facing Fang Yuan directly presented an entirely different outcome.
As the sacred cradle of human path, Divine Emperor City housed a massive population of mortals and Gu Masters. The painting worlds had proven to be the most fertile ground for fostering the human path, and this period had yielded a bounty of breakthroughs.
The ten children of human path had all reached the rank six human path Gu Immortal stage; they had been instructed by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to retreat into the painting worlds of Divine Emperor City to undergo cultivation.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng had likewise been dispatched by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable into Divine Emperor City. His purpose was not to master the human path, but to commune with the will of Genesis Lotus to unlock the secrets of the painting path.
Prior to this, Fang Zheng had entered the derivation formation to absorb the essence of the painting path. By incorporating those techniques, he was able to project diverse blood path killer moves via the Demon Judgment Board, resulting in a dramatic surge in his capabilities. This accomplishment had intensified Gu Yue Fang Zheng’s passion for the painting path, and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, recognizing his potential, poured resources into his development without reservation.
Though Gu Yue Fang Zheng originally hailed from Southern Border, his connection to Fang Yuan saw him nurtured by various luminaries of the Heavenly Court, including Qin Ding Ling and even Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. Consequently, his cultivation level had seen explosive growth throughout.
The ten children of human path looked upon Fang Zheng with a mixture of profound admiration and camaraderie.
His strength surpassed their own, and he held the mantle as the latest Lord of the Demon Judgment Board. Despite only holding a rank seven level of cultivation, he was already an established member of the Heavenly Court, having triumphed in numerous conflicts. Given his stature, the young human path prodigies—who all aspired to join the Heavenly Court—viewed him with deep respect.
As for their closeness, Fang Zheng’s youth aligned him perfectly with the generation of the ten children.
Thus, following Fang Zheng’s brief, the ten children accepted the mandate without hesitation, departing the Demon Judgment Board to provide support to Zhao Lian Yun and her peers.
“It is a blessing that you juniors, despite only being at rank six, were shielded within Divine Emperor City and survived.”
“Wait, is this a technique of the human path?”
“Truly… the profundity is beyond words!”
“It is no wonder the Heavenly Court is pouring its collective effort into fostering the human path; its potential is indeed limitless.”
Old Lord Can Yang and the others recognized these ten children well. Initially, they maintained a certain air of seniority, but as the effectiveness of the treatment unfolded, their arrogance dissolved into genuine awe.
The human path was singularly unique. The healing techniques employed by the children were strictly of the human path, yet they worked with surprising efficiency on Zhao Lian Yun and the others.
Though their injuries had been severe and merely suppressed—even with the support of two rank eight Gu Immortals and the Demon Judgment Board’s own healing methods, they had failed to make significant gains in recovery.
However, under the influence of these specific human path killer moves, their conditions improved with immediate, tangible results.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng nodded as he observed the immortals recuperating under the care of the children, and he steered the Demon Judgment Board deeper into the inner sanctum.
As he advanced, he passed by various immortal aperture entrances. His expression grew grave as his heart sank, weighed down by worry: “The majority of the Gu Immortals from Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects have perished. With the immortal graveyard nearly depleted, how can we hope to facilitate their revival?”
“Recalling the events, the qi harvest fruit exploded with too much violence; there is clearly a vast conspiracy at play.”
“What has befallen our seniors in the Heavenly Court?”
“All that matters is the status of Lady Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. Her fate will define the future of the Heavenly Court and the entirety of humanity itself!”
Gu Yue Fang Zheng had endured a lifetime of trials; his perspective was honed, granting him a sharp understanding of the unfolding crisis.
The inner regions were choked with a much denser fog of white qi compared to the outskirts.
Deeply anxious, Gu Yue Fang Zheng pushed the Demon Judgment Board forward, accelerating its speed by thirty percent.
Soon, the immortals of the Heavenly Court came into view.
Fang Zheng’s eyebrows momentarily relaxed, only to furrow again as he took in the scene.
While many of the Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were present, others were conspicuously missing, leaving their fates a mystery.
The Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were resilient; ten survivors had managed to regroup here.
They were currently clustered around Qin Ding Ling.
Fang Zheng disembarked from the Demon Judgment Board and offered his salutations.
Qin Ding Ling offered a singular nod before scanning the group and commencing her orders.
Her visage was drawn and Haggard, with lingering traces of blood staining her lips, yet her voice carried an iron weight of authority.
The white qi fog severely hampered vision and investigative techniques alike. With Star Constellation Immortal Venerable out of contact, the mantle of leadership fell by necessity upon Qin Ding Ling.
Following a brief deliberation, she organized the immortals into three distinct squads.
The first, led by Ruan Dan, would scour for surviving Gu Immortals while gathering intelligence to catalog the scope of the Heavenly Court’s attrition.
The second, commanded by Duke Mei, would venture into the heart of the white qi zone to conduct an urgent search for Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.
The third group was directly under her command, consisting of powerhouse fighters like Che Wei, Wan Zi Hong, Red Heart Traveler, Nine Spiritual Fairy, and others. Because of the inclusion of the Demon Judgment Board, Fang Zheng was also assigned to this cohort.
Their task was to form a defensive perimeter, guarding the outer reaches of the Heavenly Court against any potential hostile incursions.
“Master.” Gu Yue Fang Zheng guided Red Heart Traveler into the Demon Judgment Board, speaking with reverence: “Pray, let me tend to your wounds!”
Red Heart Traveler nodded and sat, suspending himself in the air.
Gu Yue Fang Zheng manipulated the Demon Judgment Board to glide out of the Heavenly Court grounds, continuously channeling its restorative properties toward Red Heart Traveler.
Though Red Heart Traveler had looked as pale as parchment, the aid from Gu Yue Fang Zheng allowed him to stabilize his aura rapidly.
He was himself a blood path Gu Immortal, and the former owner of the Demon Judgment Bo...
