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

Chapter 1077 The True Form of a Sage
Looking at the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors who were receiving the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao's fortune, Li Ya felt a pang of sorrow. Recalling the past, he suddenly felt that failure had permeated his life.

Although he has come this far, it seems that he fails no matter what he does. He is able to live to this day because that person has been saving him all along, and his achievements today are inseparable from that person.

Was he destined to be a loser?
A figure walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "You should be content to have come this far. This is not the end. If you want to go further, just keep working hard."

Li Ya turned to look at Li Xuandao. The two stood together, looking more like brothers than father and son. Li Ya had become weathered and desolate, his face bearing the marks of time.

He looked at his father with a complicated expression.

Li Xuandao looked at the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors and smiled, saying, "I am just like you, a lucky one who has been favored. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you should seize the opportunity. As long as you become stronger, you will cause him less trouble in the future, and he will be pleased."

Li Ya found it to be true and suddenly realized that his problem was his mindset.

Although he verbally defies everyone, he often doubts himself in private. He just manages to control his emotions, but time and energy go by in doing so.

After each of his previous seven sessions of listening to the Dao, he would feel just as lost as he does now, and he would adjust his mindset. Those who were more accomplished than him in listening to the Dao were probably all eager to attain enlightenment.

Li Ya took a deep breath, his eyes regaining their usual calm. He turned to look at Li Xuandao and whispered, "Thank you."

"Why thank me? Your success today has nothing to do with me."

After finishing his speech, Li Xuandao turned and left. He had already listened to the Dao eight times and had made many friends among the listeners in the Lingxiao Palace. As he was about to leave, he needed to solidify these relationships.

This transmission of fortune lasted a long time. Because the Heavenly Emperor did not leave, the listeners naturally did not disperse, and the Heavenly Emperor did not restrict their actions, making the Lingxiao Palace lively.

Half an hour later.

With the completion of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors' inheritance, the cultivation levels of all the Heavenly Emperors have been improved, and more than a third of them have even ushered in a breakthrough opportunity. Upon their return, they will each break through to the next level.

All those who heard the sermon returned to their places, awaiting the Heavenly Emperor's next words.

After the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors were created, will other immortal positions emerge?

At least it will sound good when it gets out!
The Heavenly Emperor surveyed all the listeners and slowly said, "You are the first beings in the Heavenly Dao and Chaos to hear the Primordial Holy Dao. I call you the Lingxiao Listeners. I hope that you will not only cultivate for your own sake, but also shoulder more responsibilities. All Lingxiao Listeners can enter the Heavenly Treasury to receive a supreme treasure or inheritance. You can join the Heavenly Court at any time, with the lowest rank being Immortal Lord."

Upon hearing this, all the listeners were delighted. The celestial position was secondary; the title of "listener of the Heavenly Emperor" was what truly mattered. This title could bind them together and also allow them to use the name of the Heavenly Emperor to bolster their own prestige.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Heavenly Emperor took the lead in speaking, and the other Lingxiao listeners followed suit, their voices of gratitude echoing throughout the hall.

"The title of 'Listener of the Dao of Lingxiao' is quite impressive, but unfortunately, these beings are too weak; they are not worthy of listening to the sacred Dao."

A cold laugh echoed throughout the Lingxiao Palace, followed by a chilling killing intent.

All the listeners tensed up. Faced with this killing intent, even Ancestor Hongqian, Hongyi, and Emperor Hongyang felt a chill run down their spines and could not muster the slightest intention to resist.

"saint!"

Ancestor Hongqian thought with fear in his heart that although he had long known that a saint from outside the Chaos was coming to attack, he still felt terrified in the face of the saint's attack.

The Heavenly Emperor could not provide Gu An with the sense of security he desired. In an instant, the Lingxiao Palace darkened, and the Lingxiao listeners looked up to see rolling black clouds appear out of thin air at the top of the palace, extremely oppressive, as if terrifying phantoms were surging within them.

Those listening to the Dao in the hall were on high alert, ready to fight at any moment.

The Heavenly Emperor, seated on his throne, frowned slightly, clearly not expecting the Sage to arrive at this critical juncture.

"The Holy Venerable of Punishment".

The Heavenly Emperor uttered these four words, his gaze turned to the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, and a vast aura enveloped the Lingxiao Palace.

All those listening to the Dao at Lingxiao Palace felt a sense of sinking, as the dark clouds above were rapidly rising. Even so, they could not see the top of the Lingxiao Palace.

When the dark clouds stopped, the Lingxiao listeners seemed to have arrived in a chaotic void, surrounded by darkness on all sides, with only the main hall where they stood illuminated.

Holy Venerable of the Path of Punishment!

The listeners of Lingxiao became tense upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, for they had already learned of the existence of the Sage during the previous sermon, and they did not expect that the Sage would attack so soon after the sermon ended.

Just how powerful are sages?
They were unaware that, according to the Heavenly Emperor, sages were almost omnipotent and unrestricted by rules or the Great Way.

Below even a sage, all are but ants!
This was a heartfelt sentiment from a certain Lingxiao Dao listener, and that person was none other than the Hongqian Ancestor.

Under the watchful eyes of all those listening to the Dao in Lingxiao, a majestic figure appeared from the boundless black clouds. The sea of ​​clouds parted, revealing an upper body even larger than the Creation God Mountain. It was a white-haired man, dressed in a purple robe, with a cold and stern face, blood-red eyebrows, and eyes that seemed to hold two starry seas. His white hair fluttered like thousands of silver rivers, and the true meaning of the Great Dao surrounded him like mist. His robe was open, revealing his chest, and on his abdomen was a ferocious face like a demon, with a black face and a pair of blood-red eyes. His features resembled those of some kind of ferocious beast.

Upon seeing the true form of the Holy Venerable of Punishment, all the Lingxiao listeners were awestruck. Before the true form of the saint, they felt so insignificant that even describing them as ants would be an overestimation.

Ancestor Hongqian also had the same feeling. He then realized that Gu An had never shown the true power of a saint, and neither had the Great Xuan Yin Ruler, who was captured before revealing his true saintly form.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor swallowed hard and muttered, "This isn't an illusion, is it..."

Lu Lingjun stared blankly at the true form of the Executioner Saint Venerable. She felt that even if the entire Zhongtian were moved here, it wouldn't be as big as the Executioner Saint Venerable's palm.

They were all Golden Immortals, Great Luo Immortals, and even some at the pinnacle of the Dao-Merging Emperor Realm. No matter how high their cultivation, they were all shocked by the true form of the Execution Dao Saint Venerable.

After the initial shock came awe and then fear.

Hongyi hated this feeling, but she couldn't overcome her instincts and muster the will to fight.

Even when facing true sages, the Great Dao and the Nine Heavens are no different from ordinary beings.

chant—

A deafening dragon roar snapped everyone back to reality, and they instinctively turned to look, only to see the Heavenly Emperor had stood up at some point.

The golden light of the Heavenly Dao shone upon the Heavenly Emperor, and a golden dragon circled around him, rapidly growing larger from bottom to top, causing the listeners of the Heavenly Dao to look up.
