If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1076 Witnessing History
The Supreme Deity of Merit and Virtue!

Upon hearing this title, the Demon Suppressing Great Dao Emperor was extremely surprised. He had long heard that Xuanqing Star Lord and the Merit Suppressing God Supreme were close, but he never expected it to be so outrageous.

How dare they recommend the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue to become the First Heavenly Emperor before the Heavenly Emperor!

What does this mean?
Force the Heavenly Emperor to abdicate in favor of the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue?

The Demon Slayer Emperor had served under several Heavenly Emperors, yet he had never witnessed such an absurd situation.

This Xuanqing Star Lord is too daring!

Xuanqing Xingjun caught a glimpse of the Demon Suppression Emperor's expression and knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

Only then did the Demon Slayer Emperor learn of the existence of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors, but even so, he still found it outrageous.

The Heavenly Emperor personally established the positions of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors, yet Xuanqing Star Lord dared to overthrow them.

How brainwashed has this guy been by the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue?
They're really courting death!

The Demon Slayer Emperor was filled with unease, his gaze fixed on the Heavenly Emperor on the steps, who remained silent for a long time.

This Heavenly Emperor made him feel as if he were facing the Heavenly Emperor of the past.

Once each Heavenly Emperor reaches the pinnacle of their cultivation, they become cold and ruthless, regarding immortals and gods as mere mortals. Even the Demon-Slaying Great Emperor feels fear at this moment, fearing that he might be targeted by their wrath.

"To give him the First Heavenly Emperor would be an insult to him."

The Heavenly Emperor slowly spoke, explaining that his silence earlier was not due to anger, but rather because he was pondering the reason why Gu An had trained so many disciples.

Perhaps among these people a sage will emerge, who will join him in protecting the Way of Heaven and safeguarding chaos.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Emperor felt less pressured.

He had always been used to bearing everything on his own, but now that Gu An was there, he felt at ease even when facing many saints.

Of course, the reason he didn't object to having someone above him was because Gu An never interfered with him and would even help him; he was still the strongest person in the Heavenly Dao's open eyes.

Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, Xuanqing Xingjun felt they made sense, and judging from these words, the Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue had already communicated, indicating that their relationship was quite good.

Xuanqing Xingjun was relieved, and his furrowed brows relaxed. He then asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do in the face of this Executioner Saint?"

"No need. He can come in at any time. He is not sure about my cultivation level right now. I will go and meet him in person after the sermon is over."

After saying these words, the Heavenly Emperor closed his eyes.

Xuanqing Xingjun thought about it and decided to put the matter aside, as it was not something he could get involved in.

He bowed to the Heavenly Emperor, then gave the Demon-Slaying Great Dao Emperor a look, signaling him to follow.

The Demon Slayer Emperor hurriedly bowed to the Heavenly Emperor and then took his leave.

After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, the two flew together for a distance until they were far away from the Lingxiao Palace. Then, the Demon-Slaying Emperor couldn't help but ask Xuanqing Star Lord a question.

"What is the origin of that Supreme God of Merit and Virtue? His Majesty seems to have a very good relationship with him."

The Demon Slayer Emperor was truly amazed today. He even suspected that the current Heavenly Emperor was too soft-hearted. If it were the Heavenly Emperor of the past, Xuanqing Star Lord would have been reduced to ashes on the spot.

He had heard of the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue, the immortal god who made the greatest contribution to the destruction of the Azure Netherworld, and also the immortal god who had been promoted to the highest immortal rank in the history of the Heavenly Court.

Mysterious and powerful are the impressions most immortals and gods have of the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue; no one knows his true origins.

Xuanqing Star Lord glanced at the Demon Suppressing Great Dao Emperor and said meaningfully, "Don't pry. In fact, what you saw and heard today may be an opportunity that you can only dream of."

Having said that, Xuanqing Xingjun waved his whisk and disappeared in a streak of blue light.

Emperor of the Demon-Slaying Great Dao frowned, pondering Xuanqing Star Lord's words.

……

The sermons in the Lingxiao Palace continued unaffected by the chaotic phenomena.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye.

The eighth sermon at the Lingxiao Palace has concluded.

In the Lingxiao Palace.

Zhu Xi opened her eyes, her gaze quickly becoming clear. This sermon had been incredibly rewarding for her, far surpassing the previous seven.

As if by some unseen force, her enlightenment came naturally, and she had already touched upon the path of sainthood. Although the gap in cultivation level was vast, she could indeed feel it.

"The last four Heavenly Emperors are Zhu Xi, Tian Hao, Zhu Yin, and Xuan Zang Hai."

The Heavenly Emperor's voice rang out, as always, decisive and efficient, directly deciding the spots.

The Lingxiao Palace suddenly became noisy.

With the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors appointed, some breathed a sigh of relief, while others were utterly dejected.

They believed that the Heavenly Emperor would no longer allow others to attack the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors, as this would damage the majesty of the Heavenly Court.

The surging aura of the Heavenly Dao flowed towards Zhu Xi, but she remained unmoved, accepting this aura. The fluctuations in her aura also attracted the attention of other listeners.

Ji Xiaoyu sat in the distance, his gaze fixed on Zhu Xi, his eyes filled with resentment.

Although the listeners here were all extraordinary individuals, she was still dissatisfied that none of them had entered the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors.

"I've received so much care from him, yet I can't get ahead here. What will he think of me?"

As Ji Xiaoyu thought this, her two willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The listeners who had been chosen as the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors were all calm, some even still savoring the Primordial Holy Dao.

"The Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors have returned to their positions. From now on, you will not only be the Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Dao, but also shoulder the responsibility of protecting Chaos. I will now imprint your immortal positions on the Heavenly Dao."

The Heavenly Emperor spoke again, and as soon as his voice fell, an incomparably vast and domineering aura enveloped the Lingxiao Palace.

At this moment, all those who listened to the Dao truly felt the aura of the sage, and even the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors changed color.

Faced with such imposing power, even the Great Dao Immortal Luo felt as insignificant as dust.

Hongyi stared intently at the Heavenly Emperor, a deep longing welling up within her.

She must become a saint!
Having gone through these eight sermons, she is full of confidence in becoming a saint; she is just more eager now.

boom! boom! boom……

Golden rays descended from the sky, landing on the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors. The other listeners were astonished to find that their cultivation was rapidly increasing.

The Heavenly Emperor is forcibly raising the cultivation level of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors!

This scene filled the other listeners with regret. Had they known this would happen, they should have pursued the position of Heavenly Emperor by any means necessary.

Of course, many listeners are also self-aware.

The bright light shone on Xiao Lan's face, which was filled with emotion. She felt as if she were witnessing history, and that this history had a crucial impact on the entire Heavenly Dao.

Lu Lingjun and Bai Ling Demon Emperor were also filled with emotion.

"Although you did not become one of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors, you can still address them as fellow Daoists, which can be considered a meteoric rise. You should go and thank the Ancestor."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor thought to himself, his tone excited.

Lu Lingjun nodded slightly. This opportunity and good fortune made her realize that she really had to do something.

Li Ya, who also failed to become one of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors, was very disappointed.

During the final sermon, he felt he had touched the sacred realm, but he still didn't expect four people to walk in front of him.
