The Saint Emperor thought more than Saint Potian, how could he allow sothing from the Holy Capital to be easily taken away? What he did was rely a delaying tactic; moreover, he was well aware that even if Ye Qingcheng handed over the Heaven-breaking Stele earlier, it would only be a stone stele to him, nothing more.
At most, it could only verify talent, not be used as a divine weapon with imnse destructive power.
Besides, the Heaven-breaking Stele is so terrifying that the Saint Emperor certainly wouldn't miss it. He even knew that as long as the Heaven-breaking Stele was used by him, the Saint Emperor, destroying the other four emperors and unifying the Immortal Realm would be just around the corner.
How could he pass up such a perfect opportunity?
"It was my reckless behavior, I didn't think it through!" Saint Potian spoke, clearly understanding the aning of the Saint Emperor.
"No worries, just don't make the sa mistake again in the future!" the Saint Emperor said casually.
"Understood!" Saint Potian nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
"Wait..."
"Father, please instruct!" Saint Potian stopped in his tracks.
"Keep surveillance on all actions of Duandao and others, and under no circumstances let them leave the Holy Capital!" said the Saint Emperor.
"Understood!" Saint Potian responded.
"And..." the Saint Emperor gestured, continuing, "Also keep an eye on the people from the other three major capitals, don't let them report anything back, or who owns this Heaven-breaking Stele will be uncertain!"
The Saint Emperor, being rather clever, knew that once the matter of the Heaven-breaking Stele was known by other emperors in the Immortal Realm, the day of the enshrinent would be quite lively. After all, the emperors of the other four capitals would never sit back and watch as the Saint Emperor possessed the Heaven-breaking Stele.
After all, as it currently stands, the one who acquires the Heaven-breaking Stele acquires the world.
"Father is indeed thoughtful. I'll proceed at once!" Saint Potian nodded, after all, the power of the Heaven-breaking Stele was sothing he witnessed firsthand. Even a Third Layer Martial Immortal like Ye Qingcheng could resist a Martial Venerable with it.
If an emperor were to wield the Heaven-breaking Stele, what would the consequences be? Surely there's no need to think about it much further.
However, the people of the Great Ming Immortal Sect, Demon Sect, and Jiuxian Immortal Sect are not fools. Unbeknownst to all, after the events at Celestial Mountain ended, they secretly sent ssages out; it can be said that stopping it now is impossible, especially since the Heaven-breaking Stele is so formidable, how could they miss it?
Even Di Yun has secretly sent a ssage back to the Celestial Capital.
As such, on the day of the enshrinent ceremony, the Holy Capital is destined not to be peaceful.
...
One day later, within the Celestial Capital Imperial Palace Hall.
At this mont, the Celestial Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his gaze indifferent, an invisible imperial might pervading the hall, leaving the assembly of ministers quite puzzled.
And at this mont, the Celestial Emperor suddenly stood up, saying, "War Venerable, Qing Venerable, accompany
to the Holy Capital!"
"To the Holy Capital?" War Venerable asked, sowhat puzzled, "Did sothing happen to the two princes?"
"Don't ask too much, just follow !" the Celestial Emperor commanded.
"Understood!" The two nodded, as the Celestial Emperor looked at the letter, thinking to himself, the chosen one, indeed, is the chosen one, able to control the Heaven-breaking Stele. It seems my Celestial Capital is destined to rule over all.
From this, it's clear that Di Yun had already explained everything in his letter.
Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of all present, the Celestial Emperor ascended into the air, causing a storm to sweep through as he vanished from the dragon throne, with War Venerable and Qing Venerable closely following behind, leaving the assembly of ministers dumbfounded.
How many years has it been since the Celestial Emperor left the Celestial Capital? It seems this matter is no trivial matter; otherwise, the Celestial Emperor wouldn't possibly go to the Holy Capital.
Inside the hall, many ministers secretly pondered.
...
Ti passed, and soon, there was only one day left until the enshrinent ceremony.
However, on this day, it seed there were undercurrents surging beneath the surface of the Holy Capital. Many began to sense sothing was up, especially since all major exits of the Holy Capital were heavily guarded, not even an ant could slip through.
What this implies, any smart person can figure out.
At this mont, within the villa.
Currently, in the villa, Duandao and others sat around a table, their gazes indifferent. By now, how could they not understand the severity of the situation?
"Uncle Master!" At this mont, Di Tian addressed Duandao, "We are already under surveillance, it seems the Saint Emperor was rely pretending with us, and he won't let us go easily. We are walking on thin ice!"
"I'm naturally aware of all this!" Duandao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze flashing with a glimr of sharpness, "But what can we do now? In the Holy Capital, it is the Saint Emperor's domain, even if we want to leave, we can't!"
"An emperor of a generation, yet such a despicable person!"
Ye Qingcheng's expression was cold; from the start, she had realized things wouldn't be so simple. As expected, as she had suspected, the Saint Emperor allowed her to take the Heaven-breaking Stele rely as a delaying tactic, yet what did it matter? From the beginning, all their actions were under the surveillance of the Saint Emperor, even leaving was impossible.
"Saintess, you're wrong!" Duandao looked at Ye Qingcheng and spoke calmly, "The Immortal Realm has been divided for ten thousand years now. As the saying goes, long divided must unite, long united must divide. It is rare that an opportunity has presented itself, how could the Saint Emperor pass it up? Now, I only hope the other four capitals are aware of this situation, so the Saint Emperor can no longer control the situation that easily!"
"What to do?" Di Tian was still quite afraid; after all, he was a prince and would likely ascend to the throne one day. How could he be willing to be trapped in the Holy Capital? So he continued, "Perhaps the Saintess should surrender the Heaven-breaking Stele?"
"Once we give up the Heaven-breaking Stele, aren't you afraid the Saint Emperor will kill us to silence us?" Duandao responded, making Di Tian's heart turn cold, while Duandao continued, "Now, only the Heaven-breaking Stele can save us!"
"Elder Duan's words are correct!" At this ti, Xiao Jiu interjected, "Handing over the Heaven-breaking Stele will undoubtedly lead to silence. As long as we hold onto the Heaven-breaking Stele, it's equivalent to holding onto our lives. Moreover, the Saint Emperor is probably already aware of this, and I suspect the reason why the Saint Emperor hasn't forced the Saintess to surrender the Heaven-breaking Stele is due to so other intention!"
"Xiao Jiu's aning?" Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flickered, and Xiao Jiu continued, "I believe that since the Saintess can activate the Heaven-breaking Stele, she must have grasped so secret or formula, correct?"
With these words, everyone except Ye Qingcheng was stunned, evidently not having thought of this.
And Ye Qingcheng, with her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Jiu, said coolly, "Indeed, when I reached the summit, I did obtain the 'Celestial Stele Technique' that allows
to activate the Heaven-breaking Stele. The reason why no one else has obtained the Celestial Stele Technique is because, to this day, no one has reached the summit before!"
"Indeed!" Murong Bai spoke to Ye Qingcheng, "It is said that the Heaven-breaking Stele descended from the heavens ten thousand years ago, and no one knows its origins. In the Holy Capital, for all these years, the world regarded it as rely a talent-verifying stone stele. Yet, the Saintess, by chance, ascended the summit and obtained the Celestial Stele Technique, which revealed to the world that the Heaven-breaking Stele is an incomparably powerful divine weapon!"
