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

Chapter 731 Not Competing for Immortals and Gods
Since the dissolution of the Dao Court, chaos has continued in the human world. Even after more than a million years, no sect has been able to unify the world. However, the overall strength of the Tianling Great World is constantly increasing. This can be seen from the Heavenly Dao Light Layer that covers the Tianling Great World. The Heavenly Dao Light Layer is becoming more and more brilliant, and the range of the universe it illuminates is constantly expanding.

The reputation of the "Hundred Schools of Thought" has gradually been phased out by the times, and the world order is undergoing new changes.

Against the backdrop of fierce competition among various factions, the gap between them began to widen.

Nine sects broke through the encirclement and became the supreme orthodoxy in the hearts of the people.

In the years that followed, Taiyi Immortal Lord and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jindong spread immortal connections throughout the mortal realm, promoting the development of immortal cultivation methods.

Beyond the heavens, in the three thousand great worlds, traces of immortals and gods began to appear, and the prelude to the struggle for the throne was brewing.

The vast microcosm.

Inside a bright and grand palace, Zhu Xi, dressed in majestic golden robes, sat on the throne. Her hair was piled high and tied under her crown. Her expression was solemn, and her brows exuded a sense of oppressive indifference towards all living beings.

Many cultivators stood in the hall, all dressed in the same long robes, each exuding an aura of majesty and martial prowess.

An elderly cultivator with white hair stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Xi, and said, "Your Majesty, although the words of that immortal god cannot be completely trusted, we must still be cautious. If the Three Thousand Great Worlds are truly going to face such a calamity, our Holy Court must make preparations as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the others in the hall immediately voiced their agreement.

Since the Divine Court was destroyed by the mysterious supreme powerhouse, Zhu Xi seized the opportunity to establish the Holy Court. Although it has gone through many hardships, the Holy Court has finally managed to barely control the Taiwei Great World and can be called the master of the Taiwei Great World.

Not long ago, a star deity descended, claiming to be from the Heavenly Court, and came for heavenly secrets. He then revealed the struggle for the throne.

This event greatly shocked the nobles of the Holy Court. Zhu Xi told them to go back and digest the information on their own. After a few days, they began to discuss it.

Now, most of the holy officials believe that this matter cannot be taken lightly. They must send people to the outer heavens to investigate and see if other great worlds have received the news. At the same time, they must take control of the Taiwei Great World as soon as possible.

The waters of the Taiwei Great World are truly too deep. Even though Zhu Xi has won over many aristocratic families, there are still many forces in the Taiwei Great World that the Holy Court is wary of.

Zhu Xi listened to the ministers' discussions, her face expressionless, but she felt a headache and helplessness.

Just when they had finally gained a foothold, an even greater calamity struck.

Rather than whether the struggle for the throne was real, what she saw was the threat posed by the Heavenly Court.

That Star Lord's cultivation is unfathomable; even if what he said is false, the Holy Court still has to face him.

Even though the Holy Court now controls most of the world's territory, she really has no confidence in facing the Star Lord.

But she knew she had to make a choice and take action.

"The struggle for the throne cannot be ignored, but the grand plan for the world must also be implemented."

Zhu Xi spoke slowly, and as soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent, waiting for her instructions.

She began to issue orders one by one, mobilizing the entire power of the Holy Court. The holy officials in the hall received the orders one after another. As one holy decree after another was issued, a solemn atmosphere was spreading in the hall.

for a long time.

After all the officials left, Zhu Xi stood up and vanished from the hall into thin air.

The next second, she appeared in a bamboo forest, and she stepped into the depths of the forest.

As she continued forward, a pavilion surrounded by green bamboo came into view. In front of the pavilion was a small courtyard planted with flowers and plants. Even before she got close, a delicate fragrance wafted into Zhu Xi's nose.

She walked straight into the courtyard, stopped in front of the gate, and said, "Senior, there is something I must ask you for help with."

"Is it related to the Heavenly Court?" A weathered voice came from inside the pavilion, causing Zhu Xi to raise an eyebrow and a strange light to flash in her eyes.

"That's right, Senior, you foresaw this long ago?" Zhu Xi asked curiously.

"When the Cold Fiend Immortal Lord descended to the mortal realm before, he mentioned the struggle for the throne. He was acting on behalf of a certain emperor, and he asked the Divine Court to help him collect living beings and refine the body of a demon god. The body of a demon god has power comparable to that of an immortal god. It is an important pawn for that emperor."

The weathered voice rang out again, its tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Zhu Xi had long suspected this. The immortal god's order for the divine court to capture so many mortals was clearly a preparation for some major event. And now, news of the struggle for the throne had arrived, which was obviously related.

"The struggle for the throne is unstoppable; it is both a crisis and an opportunity. I know why you have come. Since the struggle for the throne is about to begin, I will support you, but you need to promise me one thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately asked, "What is it?"

The senior in the pavilion is no ordinary person. He was once the ruler of the Divine Court and lived for countless years. He left the Divine Court because he could not stand the actions of the Divine Court and the immortals.

It was fate that Zhu Xi met him. Although this senior had never actually helped her, he had revealed a lot of information that helped her avoid a lot of trouble.

"If the emperor you support wins, you cannot compete for a spot among the immortals and gods," the ancient voice said slowly.

Zhu Xi was puzzled and asked, "If we don't want to compete for the title of immortals or gods, then why should we support the emperor?"

"What other choice do you have?"

Zhu Xi remained silent.

With the Star Lord coming in person, she and the Divine Court probably have no choice but to accept.

"Although I have not experienced the struggle for the throne, I have seen some records in some ruins on the path of the Great Dao. There are no real winners in the struggle for the throne, especially for all living beings. In such a calamity, it is not a good thing to get close to immortals and gods. I do not want the future ruler of heaven and earth to lead Taiwei to its end."

"You should still remember the great war a million years ago. The Divine Court was so powerful, yet it was no match for one person. Just like the Great Dao, the Three Thousand Great Worlds may seem vast and boundless, but in the eyes of immortals and gods, they may be insignificant."

The words of that weathered voice made Zhu Xi's face turn ugly.

She had already experienced the arrogance of immortals and gods, and the other party's words made her feel an immense sense of crisis.

When she confirmed that the struggle for the throne was real, she also developed the ambition to become an immortal. If she was like that, what about others?

Once the struggle for the throne begins, and the immortals promise to grant her immortality, it will be difficult for her to control the Holy Court.

Zhu Xi stood in front of the door, pondering for a long time.

She took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I promise you!"

Bang!

The door opened, and a token flew to Zhu Xi. It was a jade token, radiating golden light, and rotating on its own.

"Take this order to the Ancient God Continent and meet that Supreme Being. He will know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi's face lit up with joy. She knew what the Supreme Being of the Ancient God Continent represented. This Supreme Being was not only incredibly powerful, but also had countless disciples and grand-disciples throughout the world. With his support, the Holy Court would surely be able to completely control the Taiwei Great World.

"Thank you, senior!"
