Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 425 Your Majesty, Our Earthly Palace Has No Future

In the arena, Da You had begun to change his attack method. He gradually mobilized the fierce energy under his control and condensed it into black threads. Those black threads were extremely flexible, like countless giant pythons coming towards the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable.

Buzz!

Saint Stone Celestial Venerable's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but become more solemn.

As he raised his hand, countless immense forces seemed to emerge from it, violently shattering the countless threads. The broken threads then transformed into countless living tadpole-like runes, rushing towards him from all directions, causing him to frown.

When those tadpole-shaped runes flew over, they attached themselves to the Xuanhuang divine light flowing around him, constantly polluting and devouring the Xuanhuang divine power manifested around him.

If it were a powerful being of the same level as the Origin God Realm, it might actually succeed if caught off guard.

He asked.

"What is this move called?"

Da You jumped back, grinning.

"Senior, this move is called Infinite Scales!"

"It must have another trick up its sleeve?"

The Holy Stone Celestial Venerable trembled slightly, shattering the black, scale-like tadpole-like characters. A large swath of profound light swept across, blowing the black energy away like a tide.

Da You smiled slightly and nodded.

"They can split indefinitely and then self-destruct!"

He did not hide anything.

As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal. Instantly, countless terrifying black scales appeared in the void around him and even in a large area of ​​space. Upon closer inspection, the black scales were still writhing. They seemed to have an extraordinary predatory instinct from birth, as if they could devour the heavens and the earth, which was extremely terrifying.

It vaguely formed a terrifying domain that closed off the surrounding void.

It looks like a coiled black snake.

boom!
In the next instant, a vast expanse of void seemed to burst open with boundless black light, and terrifying divine light enveloped the entire Holy Stone Celestial Venerable within it.

The gods around them couldn't help but look at this scene with slight surprise.

With their keen eyesight, they could see that there were special magical artifacts hidden among those black scales, and many terrifying lightning beads were concealed inside.

At this moment, it exploded, as if billions of thunderbolts burst from within, turning that narrow void into a black sphere of destruction.

If they are caught off guard, they will surely be severely damaged.

Saint Stone Celestial Venerable did not use any power above the Origin God Realm at this time, so he was probably in a very sorry state.

A moment later, the destructive black sphere of light dissipated, and the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable appeared unharmed in the same spot, surrounded by a circle of golden, mysterious divine light. Within the radiance, countless mountains and rivers, and all sorts of strange phenomena, manifested.

But the gods could already see that he had lost this contest.

Yang Huai watched this scene from afar, a subtle look in his eyes.

Da You's move was exceptionally brilliant.

Especially the secret technique of Infinite Scales, which is very strange and powerful.

Yang Huai even had reason to suspect that he was hiding something else.

"Truly a war god born for battle!"

He thought to himself.

In the distance, Da You also revealed his true form from a black scale.

Saint Stone Celestial Venerable approached and smiled slightly.

"Da You, you have won this time, but I see that your physical body still has room for improvement!"

Da You nodded slightly, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Suddenly he saw Yang Huai, his eyes lit up, and he went up to Yang Huai and bowed.

"Master Zhurong, I am being presumptuous, but may you teach me the body-refining secrets of the Zhurong clan?"

Yang Huai glanced at him after a moment's thought.

"You should have already collected most of the body-refining secret techniques inherited from the twelve tribes. Sometimes, trying to do too much at once can lead to failure!"

Da You raised his head and said.

"This disciple wishes to forge his own path!"

Yang Huai glanced at him meaningfully, raised his hand and pointed, a red light appeared in his hand and fell into the depths of Da You's mind.

That was a secret technique called "Dutian Blazing Flame Technique," which was also one of the core inheritances of the Zhu Rong clan. After successfully cultivating it, one could purify one's bloodline, harmonize bloodline conflicts, eliminate drawbacks, and greatly benefit one's foundation.

Overjoyed to have received the secret technique, Da You immediately took a step and left.

Watching his figure, Yang Huai felt a surge of emotion.

The legacy of the Twelve Primal Tribes is said to have originated from a mysterious place. The twelve Primal Gods comprehended its mysteries and each inherited a portion of it. When the twelve Primal Gods joined forces, they could construct an earth-shattering array.

This formation is called the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation. Legend has it that if someone can thoroughly comprehend the legacy left by the twelve ancient gods, there is a sliver of hope that they can successfully condense the miraculous power of the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation into one person.

Da You clearly had this in mind.

Yang Huai, however, did not care.

He had studied this technique, but it was basically impossible to master it because its requirements were too high.

The basic requirement is to obtain Pangu's essence blood, followed by Pangu's divine marrow, and then to obtain the complete mark of the Primordial Heavenly King!
It's possible that Pangu's essence blood could be extracted from the blood of the twelve ancient gods who were born with innate origins.

However, obtaining the Pangu Divine Essence and the Primordial Heavenly King Imprint is extremely difficult.

Yang Huai actually looked down on these things.

Because of his secret technique of merging the Nine Primordial Phases, he could actually transform into the giant body of Pangu.

With cultivation, one can naturally form the giant body of Pangu, so there's no need for such trouble.

After watching the spectacle, the gods headed towards the central Earth Emperor's Palace.

They came not just to watch the spectacle, but because the Earth Goddess Houtu had summoned everyone for a meeting.

Moreover, the matter being discussed was none other than the destruction of the Heavenly Heart Palace. Inside the Earthly Emperor's Palace, the gods took their seats.

This time, in addition to the five chief deities, there were also some guardian deities and subordinate deities from the Earthly Emperor's Palace.

The deputy heads of six departments have also arrived.

For example, Feng Wuxie, the deputy head of the Fire Department.

Above the head of the table was a magnificent deity surrounded by boundless golden light, whose true appearance was obscured by the other gods, and even his gender was difficult to discern.

Below them are the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable and the Spirit King Celestial Venerable, followed by Yang Huai, the Fire Department God Lord, and then the Water Department God Lord, Lü Yi. In addition, there are the Seven Departments.

The seven offices of the Earthly Emperor Palace were actually modeled after the offices of the Heavenly Court. There were offices for the people, each in charge of registering the households of living beings, and offices for the judicial authorities.

This includes the underworld officials who are in charge of matters concerning ghosts and spirits, and the postal officials who are in charge of communications, among others.

Besides the five departments and seven offices, there are two mysterious deputy palace masters in the Earthly Emperor Palace who have never appeared.

On the central throne, the true form of Houtu, the Earth Goddess, appeared and looked at the gods, asking them a question.

"My beloved ministers, you should all be aware of the situation on Earth. Which of you has a good plan to help our divine race reverse our disadvantage?!"

Upon hearing this, the gods fell silent.

The situation on Earth is becoming increasingly clear.

The Protoss are still powerful, but they are disorganized and unable to unite.

On the contrary, the power of the Xuanmen sect in the wilderness is growing stronger.

Since Shennong came to power, the Heavenly Court has grown rapidly in influence.

Furthermore, with the successful opening of the Zhou Tian Star Sea by the Taiwei Daoist, many Qi cultivators yearn for that pure land above the Zhou Tian Star Sea, a place suitable for the survival of low- to mid-level cultivators.

Even the gods of the Earthly Palace believed deep down that the earth was not actually suitable for the reproduction of ordinary living beings.

Even low-level immortals and gods find it difficult to survive.

There are too many powerful beings left over from ancient times.

On the contrary, places like the Zhou Tian Starry Sky, where spiritual energy is scarce, are still places where people can live and cultivate, and most importantly, there are not many strong individuals.

However, since it was their superior who asked the question, the gods could not express their opinions.

Saint Stone Celestial Venerable coughed lightly and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that our focus should remain on the Jiuli tribe. As long as Dayou can grow up and ascend to the position in the Heavenly Court, our divine race will one day usher in the dawn of a new era!"

Houtu Huangdizhi nodded, then turned her gaze to him, revealing an encouraging expression.

The Holy Stone Celestial Venerable spoke again.

"The best course of action now is to unite with the gods to resist the invasion of the Xuanmen. At the very least, we must not allow the Xuanmen to find another excuse to attack the tribes and lineages that are biased towards our gods!"

In fact, what he originally wanted to say was to carry out reciprocal retaliation, thereby intimidating the Heavenly Court.

However, the gods are not united now, and the Earthly Palace alone can hardly withstand the counterattack of the Xuanmen. They can only settle for second best.

The gods all nodded in agreement.

Uniting the gods is the top priority for the Earthly Emperor Palace. The current strength of the Earthly Emperor Palace alone is insufficient to confront the Heavenly Court, especially since the Xuanmen has three ancient Heavenly Venerables.

The gods all witnessed the sudden burst of fighting power from Shangqing Tianzun that day.

The other gods spoke up sporadically, offering some suggestions as a supplement to the advice of the Holy Stone Celestial.

Yang Huai remained silent, observing from the sidelines. Only when he heard someone say that Yan Ju was going to be assassinated first did he slightly raise his head and look at the figure who had spoken.

That was none other than Hou Yi, the God of Archery, who spoke with great passion.

“Your Majesty, I have investigated and found that half of the credit for the rise of the Yan Emperor tribe belongs to that Human Emperor Yan Ju. If it weren’t for his scheming, the Yan Emperor tribe would not have such a large fortune. If we can destroy this villain, the Heavenly Court will have lost an arm!”

His words resonated with many deities.

Another ancient god beside him also spoke.

"That Human Emperor Yan Ju is unassuming and has attributed all the credit to the Heavenly Emperor Shennong, but in reality, he is the true mastermind! Now that he has only recently broken through, it would be better to first make him complacent, and then strike unexpectedly..."

She paused, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

This is a stunningly beautiful goddess dressed in black, with a simple turquoise and gold nine-headed phoenix hairpin in her hair, but her eyes are filled with murderous intent.

She is the Goddess of Slaughter, Jiufeng.

Yang Huai quietly noted down the names of the two men, and as for how to kill them, he naturally left that to Yan Ju.

On the throne, Empress Houtu remained calm, her inner thoughts unreadable. Suddenly, she turned her gaze to Yang Huai, who had been looking composed all along.

"Brother Zhurong, why are you silent?"

Upon hearing this, the gods in the hall couldn't help but turn their gazes to Yang Huai.

After all, his title of "Great Heavenly Venerable of the Ten Directions of Fire Virtue and Light" was truly eye-catching.

He has now become a model of wisdom disguised as foolishness in the wilderness.

Yang Huai shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I am impulsive and quick-tempered, and I am as brave and fierce as anyone else, but when it comes to such planning and strategy, I am not as good as the comrades present here!"

The other gods' eyes flickered slightly.

Houtu Huangdi suddenly laughed.

"Brother Zhurong, there's no need to hold back. Just speak your mind. Back when my siblings and I were in power, there weren't so many complicated things going on!"

Yang Huai, unable to bear the repeated inquiries from the Earth Goddess Houtu, smiled and said...

"Then I will speak frankly. If our Imperial Palace continues to oppose the Heavenly Court, I fear there is no future for us! Even Your Majesty will face unforeseen dangers! Perhaps death and annihilation are imminent!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent; all eyes turned to Yang Huai.
