Chapter 510: Chapter 510: The Jade Emperor’s Decision (4th Update!)
(PS: I misspoke earlier; the update ti in the afternoon is 6 o’clock, which has been corrected. Updates will continue at this ti from now on!)
In the Heavenly Court, behind the Lingxia Palace, within the sleeping chambers of the Jade Emperor.
“Your Majesty, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, coerced the Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang to make it rain in Jiling City. Now, all the citizens of Jiling City have smashed the statues of immortals and Buddhas in their hos and only worship the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!”
“Your Majesty, three small nations in the East Victorious Divine Continent have established Flower-Fruit Mountain as their national religion and are constructing temples to the Great Saint everywhere. Their intentions are unclear.”
Piece by piece, news from the mouth of the Celestial Information Officer rose one after another, entering the ears of the Jade Emperor like devilish whispers. The Jade Emperor couldn’t help but frown more and more deeply, his eyes increasingly filled with anger. He let out a heavy, cold huff involuntarily, and all the Heavenly Officers reporting to him instantly fell silent, not daring to even breathe.
“I understand, all of you may leave!”
The Jade Emperor waved his hand, and the officials, as if pardoned, paid their respects and retreated from the sleeping chamber.
“Rubbish! Damned Demon Monkey!”
Once all the Heavenly Officers had left, the Jade Emperor could no longer hold back and started to roar in a low voice. He crushed the teacup in his hand to dust, fragnts trickling down from his palm, his face twisted with fury.
Ever since the great celestial conflict, the dignity of the Heavenly Court has been greatly damaged. The Tathagata Buddha and the Ran Deng Buddha returned to the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain without any further action, whereas Flower-Fruit Mountain’s morale soared. Over the past few years, they have been very active, brazenly flying their flag, establishing the Demon Cult, and beginning to expand their influence in all directions.
What angered the Jade Emperor the most was that the Demon Cult of Flower-Fruit Mountain propagated the na of Sun Wukong, the Great Saint, as being “greatly compassionate and kind, punishing evil and promoting good”!
Such blatant seizure of the power of faith from the Taoist and Buddhist Sects was nothing short of arrogant!
If that Demon Monkey could be considered “greatly compassionate and kind, punishing evil and promoting good,” then what did that make the Heavenly Court? What did that make him, the Jade Emperor? Was he to be punished as evil?
This was preposterous, absolutely preposterous!
And in the face of all this, the Grand Supre Elderly Lord, leader of the Three Purities, didn’t inquire or care at all. It was as if nothing had happened; he still spent his days in the Doushui Palace, refining alchemy and artifacts without showing any intention of interfering. Even when the Jade Emperor sent soone to consult the Grand Supre Elderly Lord for his opinion, he only replied with, “Please make the decision on your own”.
What did this an?
Wasn’t the Grand Supre Elderly Lord one of the Three Purities, a Great Offering of the Heavenly Court, a leader of the Taoist Sect?
The Sect Hierarch of Tongtian had clearly taken Flower-Fruit Mountain’s side, swaggering in and out of Flower-Fruit Mountain, getting along famously with the Demon Clan there. The Jade Emperor watched with rage burning inside him, but he could only forcibly suppress this anger. When even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable could not restrain the Sect Hierarch of Tongtian, let alone him!
If he, in his capacity as the Jade Emperor, tried to suppress the Sect Hierarch of Tongtian, it was likely that the latter would swing his sword directly at him, not giving him the slightest face!
“Damned, damned, damned!”
The furious roar echoed in the sleeping chamber, the Jade Emperor’s face twisted with murderous intent, his eyes flashing coldly, causing all the palace maids and guards to tremble on their feet, not daring to utter a sound, afraid of drawing the Jade Emperor’s attention and becoming the target of his vented fury.
After a good while, the roars finally began to subside, and the Jade Emperor managed to push down his anger once again. But his face was still as black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes flickering, as if he was hesitating about sothing.
After a while, a fierce and resolute light flashed across the Jade Emperor’s eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind. With a flip of his palm, a Chaos-colored pearl and a longsword appeared in his hand.
The Chaos-colored pearl was the Jade Emperor’s very own Chaos Divine Pearl, possessing the effects of an Absolute Law, while the longsword was the Hao Tian Sword, also known as the Heavenly Emperor’s Sword, the divine weapon that the Jade Emperor carried with him.
Grinding his teeth, the Jade Emperor gripped the Hao Tian Sword and pressed the Chaos Divine Pearl into the groove on the hilt of the sword. The mont the Chaos Divine Pearl was embedded into the groove, a strange fluctuation emanated from the Hao Tian Sword, spreading instantly throughout the entire Heavenly Palace.
“Eh?”
The Grand Supre Elderly Lord, who was in the process of refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the disturbance, which ca from the Lingxia Palace in the Ninth Layer of Heaven. His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Has the Jade Emperor decided to do it?”
A deep voice ca from the mouth of the Grand Supre Elderly Lord, “If so, it’s ti for to make a decision as well!”
A gleam of sharpness passed through his eyes, and with a movent of his form, three figures erged from within the Grand Supre Elderly Lord, executing the miraculous technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!
The Grand Supre Elderly Lord’s One Qi Transforms into Three Purities technique was a subli and special use of the Cloning Divine Powers, able to create three clones with ninety percent of the original’s combat power in an instant, markedly more powerful than the Cloning Divine Powers. Under normal circumstances, the Grand Supre Elderly Lord seldom used this technique.
After separating into three clones, the Grand Supre Elderly Lord also stood up, sent a fla into the Eight Trigrams furnace to continue the alchemy of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, then turned around and left the Doushui Palace with his clones, flying towards the Heavenly Ladder, heading straight to the grand and deep Eight Scenic Palaces in the Tai Qing Heaven.
There was a hall of about thirty ters in diater, and beneath it was a Tai Chi Diagram. Unlike the common Tai Chi Diagram with its black and white yin and yang fish, this Tai Chi Diagram had gold and red yin and yang fish.
The two clones of the Grand Supre Elderly Lord stood atop the yin and yang fish, while another clone stood upon the line separating yin from yang in the Tai Chi Diagram, and the Grand Supre Elderly Lord himself stood outside the Tai Chi Diagram. Suddenly, he flicked his hand and sacrificed his Supre Treasure, the Tai Chi Diagram.
The Innate Supre Treasure Tai Chi Diagram floated above the hall, corresponding with the yin and yang fish pattern on the ground. The diagram on the ground began to emit a faint green light, converging onto the two clones standing on the yin and yang fish, then transferring to the clone standing on the line separating yin and yang.
“Begin!”
With a soft shout, the clone standing on the yin and yang line raised its hand, and a dazzling beam of light shot from its palm, directly aiming at the do of the grand hall.
Hum~!
A ripple spread out atop the do of the grand hall, and what was once an unremarkable do transford into a pattern of a starry river, giving anyone who looked at it the sensation of being engulfed by it.
“Supre, what matter calls for your teacher?”
A grand and majestic voice emanated from within the starry river, and the Grand Supre Elderly Lord revealed a respectful deanor, kneeling on both knees and bowing deeply towards the starry river above.
“Teacher, the third imnse calamity has arrived ahead of schedule, the trajectory of heaven’s fate has changed, Hao Tian wishes to expend the foundation of the Heavenly Court accumulated over ten thousand years to activate the Apocalyptic Divine Light against the erging Demon Race of Flower-Fruit Mountain. I am uncertain about how to deal with this, thus I have co to seek your decisive judgnt!”
“The trajectory of heaven’s fate has changed? How has it changed? Tell in detail!”
