System's Super Sect Chapter 1422 - 1205: Five Kings

He Youyuan is indeed the number one in the Upper Realm, he can suppress so that all Sealing Kings can’t lift their heads, but his prestige is far inferior to Sima Tianxuan.

That’s because Sima Tianxuan is the first Sealing King of the Divine Shadow Army, with countless battle achievements. In the two hundred years since he entered the Upper Realm, he has killed seven Ministry Level powerhouses of the Heaven-Covering Tower! Especially in the last deadly battle between the Heaven-Covering Tower and You Country, he consecutively killed five Ministry Level powerhouses, making his name famous in the Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

If one were to ask, who is the faith of the world’s cultivators?

It’s not the Sovereign.

It’s not the Royal Family.

It’s Sima Tianxuan!

Therefore, when he speaks, nine out of ten people believe him.

Upon hearing this news, both Chen Xie and Prince Longyang were somewhat panicked.

Chen Xie’s panic was due to being targeted by Sima Tianxuan, which would cause a lot of trouble.

Although finding the Sect Leader could solve this problem, as the Owner of the Jin Zhi Lou, if he ran to the Sect Leader for every little issue, what kind of Owner would that make him?

Thus, Chen Xie could only pretend nothing happened and use the news of the Beize Domain’s great battle as a headline to try to divert everyone’s attention.

Prince Longyang’s panic lay in the fact that with Sima Tianxuan’s obstruction, the probability of convincing the Sovereign became slimmer and slimmer.

Sima Tianxuan is loyal to the Sovereign and is one of the people the Sovereign trusts most. If he says the Celestial Ranking is a fame-seeking device, then in the Sovereign’s mind, it inevitably is. Even if the Sovereign doesn’t believe it in his heart, he would pretend to, because Sima Tianxuan is the soul of the Divine Shadow Army and the faith of the world’s cultivators.

So Prince Longyang immediately contacted Chen Xie, hoping to get help from Jin Zhi Lou, otherwise his plans would come to a dead end due to Sima Tianxuan.

After contacting Chen Xie via the Sound Transmission Stone, Prince Longyang hurriedly got to the point, "Owner Chen, you should have already received the news about Prince Zhenyou, right? I intend to get the Royal Family and the ancestors to accept the existence of the Celestial Ranking. Although the process is fraught with difficulties, I am confident I can do it, but now with Prince Zhenyou’s involvement, the hope of doing so is slim!"

Chen Xie was silent for a moment, took a long breath, and then calmly said, imitating his own Sect Leader’s tone, "Truth cannot become false, and false cannot become true. Why rush, Your Highness? Regardless of whether the Royal Family acknowledges it or not, the Celestial Ranking is still there, and nothing above the Sealing King can erase it. Time will naturally prove everything!"

Actually, Chen Xie said this to himself as well, to soothe that bit of worry in his heart.

After hearing Chen Xie’s calm and determined words, Prince Longyang also fell into contemplation, then forced a slight smile and asked, "Does Sect Leader Wen already have a solution?"

"The Sect Leader doesn’t have time to deal with such trivial matters. But rest assured, Your Highness, Sima Tianxuan is just a mouth, and even he is not perfect." Just then, Chen Xie thought of a move, which was to use the Immortal Daily to expose Sima Tianxuan’s blemishes.

As long as Sima Tianxuan is no longer perfect in the eyes of the cultivators, the number of people believing his words will naturally decrease. Although doing so would provoke the other party, having the Immortal Sect backing him made it worthwhile.

Come on, bring it on.

Jin Zhi Lou is right within the Immortal Sect.

If you dare, come and get us.

As for the external bases, you’re welcome to try, destroy one and I’ll establish two, anyway right now the Immortal Sect’s White Crystal seems inexhaustible.

Prince Longyang quickly advised, "Owner Chen, if you want to investigate Sima Tianxuan’s blemishes, you must be careful. Although Sima Tianxuan is not on par with the Inspection Hall’s He Youyuan, he ranks thirteenth on the Celestial Ranking. Plus, his power is terrifying, even without the National Lord’s Golden Order, he can mobilize the Divine Shadow Army."

"Mm-hmm, I will be careful."

Chen Xie nodded, not explaining further.

After putting away the Sound Transmission Stone, he immediately prepared to return to the Sect to investigate Sima Tianxuan’s history.

Prince Longyang did not continue to say more. After putting away the Sound Transmission Stone, he also prepared to watch and wait, as anything done now would be meaningless.

Unless He Youyuan steps out to vindicate the Celestial Ranking!

At this thought, Prince Longyang suddenly became aware of a problem.

"Could it be that Prince Zhenyou has already picked a side?" At this critical juncture, Sima Tianxuan suddenly stepping out to deny the Celestial Ranking was more than a little suspicious.

...

The next day.

Celestial Nether King’s Mansion.

The Ice King, King of Wujie, King of Chaos, and King of Harmony and Sorrow entered the Celestial Nether King’s Mansion in quick succession, each with expressions of surprise and delight on their faces.

Sima Tianxuan speaking out and denying the Celestial Ranking was something they hadn’t anticipated at all.

Because even if they had staged a hundred plays, it wouldn’t be as effective as a single statement from Sima Tianxuan.

Upon entering the mansion, the King of Chaos laughed heartily as he walked in, "Hahaha, this is wonderful. Now let’s see how Prince Longyang will protect the Celestial Ranking and Jin Zhi Lou. If the ancestor happens to come out of seclusion and knows of the Celestial Ranking’s existence, I’d definitely be the vanguard to destroy Jin Zhi Lou!"

The King of Chaos had no other pursuits now.

Because the only Sealing King supporting him had met a tragic end, and fell with the stigma of being a Heaven-Covering Tower infiltrator.

The Inspection Hall had arrested all those close to Lie Yao, and their official positions and powers were revoked, most of whom were his supporters.

Without them,

in five years, he would have no chance at all.

Tearing down Prince Longyang was now his only pursuit.

As he walked into the rear courtyard of the mansion, the Celestial Nether King slowly emerged, with a faint smile, saying, "If you dare, you could try intruding on the ancestors’ seclusion Forbidden Land, at most you’ll just forfeit your right to compete for the National Lord’s position."

With this remark, the King of Chaos was stunned.

It was as if he were being enlightened.

Seeing this, the Celestial Nether King quickly explained, because if the ancestor knew it was his instigation, he couldn’t bear the consequences, "It was a joke, a joke, don’t take it seriously. Since all of you are here at my mansion today, it must be for a reason beyond visiting me?"

"Yes, since Sima Tianxuan has indirectly helped us, we might as well join forces to approach the Sovereign and attempt to... ask the Sovereign to retract the Golden Scroll given to Jin Zhi Lou." The King of Harmony and Sorrow rarely spoke, but when he did, he sought to thoroughly expunge Jin Zhi Lou.

"I agree."

The Ice King and King of Wujie immediately responded.

The Celestial Nether King, however, did not speak, as this matter was not suitable to pursue at present. But since they wanted to, they should go ahead.

"You can do it, but not together. A single joint effort might not arouse suspicion from the Sovereign, but if a second attempt is the same, the Sovereign surely won’t act as we wish."

As the conversation ended, the Ice King and others looked at each other.

Finally, their gazes fell on the King of Chaos.

Once again, the King of Chaos was stunned.

Then, he joyfully exclaimed,

"Then I will do it!"

As he spoke,

the King of Chaos was restless.

He was about to bid farewell to them and enter the Royal Palace on the spot!

...

Beize Domain.

Celestial Gaze Gorge.

The Celestial Gaze Gorge is located to the exact east of the Beize Domain, right in the middle of the battlefield, East Ridge, Celestial Flow River, and Lingfeng Mountain Range.

Hence, He Youyuan was stationed at the rear of Celestial Gaze Gorge.

Once the Curved Realm Passage that links the five battlefields stabilizes and can accommodate Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses to traverse, he could effectively coordinate the five battle zones the moment the passage becomes operational.

As long as a Sealing King makes a move, he can quickly provide support.

Even if the current Curved Realm Passage cannot yet support the passage of Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses, he can still command the Divine Shadow Army across the five battle zones from Celestial Gaze Gorge.

At this time, a messenger hurriedly brought a letter into the tent through layers of guards and delivered it to He Youyuan.

"Greetings to the Divine Order, this is an urgent letter from ’the Stake’."

’The Stake’ is the term used by the Divine Shadow Army for its infiltrators within the Heaven-Covering Tower’s ranks.

After receiving the letter, He Youyuan glanced over it and then said, "Inform Si Haixian that the full command to repel this large-scale assault on the East Ridge battlefield is under his control, he must keep the Qi Division’s people at bay, not allowing the Heaven-Covering Tower’s forces to penetrate one more mile into You Country! As for the Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses of the Qi Division, let Si Haixian kill as many as he can, until the Qi Division retreats."

With these words, the messenger swiftly left the camp, speeding through the Curved Realm Passage to reach the East Ridge battlefield by nightfall, and delivered He Youyuan’s instructions verbatim to Si Haixian, who was discussing resistance plans with many Divine Generals.
