As for Ji Ning going to the Dao Palace to choose divine abilities and secret arts, Cheng Hao only used his divine will to investigate for a while and then no longer paid attention to it.
The divine abilities and secret arts in his Dao Palace could be said to encompass the entire Three Realms, and there were many more than Patriarch Subhuti in the original work. Even when he transmigrated, his divine will had to spend an entire day reading before he finally understood all the techniques and secret arts.
Unfortunately, these techniques and divine abilities basically didn't increase his strength by much, and could only be used as a reference. At his current half-step Fourth Stage, divine abilities and secret arts were no longer important. Understanding the laws of the Grand Dao was the most important thing. Comprehending all ten levels of the laws of a Grand Dao, then fusing them into a Dao-seed and breaking through to the Fourth Stage was what Cheng Hao cared about.
Sitting cross-legged under the Enlightenment Tea Tree, his main body was cultivating with his eyes closed. However, he created a divine will clone that was leisurely drinking tea and playing with two jade talismans in its hands.
Of these two jade talismans, one was milky white and emitted a faint white halo that faintly emitted a suction force. As for the other jade talisman, it emitted a black halo that occasionally emitted a repulsive force that seemed to be able to banish people from the Three Realms.
These two jade talismans were rewards that Cheng Hao had obtained after completing two main quests in the Demonized Three Kingdoms World.
The milky white jade talisman was called the Trans-Realm Summoning Talisman. It could forcibly summon an existence whose realm was no higher than the host's from another world. It could be summoned once in each world, and was considered a good treasure.
However, this jade talisman had a flaw, and that was that the summoned existence wasn't under the host's control. Thus, if one didn't want to be stabbed in the back at a critical moment, one could only summon a trustworthy existence.
"A trustworthy person? Hong Yi from the Yang God World. I can be at ease, but I haven't been to the Yang God World for a long time. I don't know what realm Hong Yi is at now. If he's already at the Nirvana Realm, which is a realm higher than me, I definitely can't summon him.
"I don't have to worry about Chen Nan from the Tomb God World. However, like Hong Yi, I can't figure out his current strength. If I can't summon him, I'll just waste a summoning slot.
"As such, those worlds where the flow of time is uncertain are not suitable for summoning. Only the main worlds where the flow of time is relatively static do not have to worry about unpredictable accidents."
"No matter how I think about it, summoning Lin Xi is still the best choice!"
From Cheng Hao's point of view, although Lin Xi was in a state of transformation between Stage 3 and Stage 4, she still hadn't reached Stage 4. As long as she hadn't reached Stage 4, he could still summon her.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"You're the one who said it. I'm welcome to chat with you at any time. It shouldn't be a problem for me to ask you to cross over to chat, right?"
Squeezing the white jade talisman in his hand, Cheng Hao didn't summon her in the end. Instead, he put it away. "Forget it, I'll wait a little longer. I'll cultivate for a while first. At the very least, I'll have to fully comprehend the tenth level of a Great Way before summoning her. Otherwise, it'll be embarrassing if my strength isn't as good as Lin Xi's!"
At this time, Cheng Hao's Vacuum-shattering, Sun God, and Great Emperor strength were indeed invincible in Stage 3. However, in the face of Lin Xi, who seemed to be about to step into Stage 4 at any time, he still felt a lot of pressure.
After putting away the white jade talisman, Cheng Hao looked at another black jade talisman.
This black jade talisman was called the Plane Banishment Talisman. It could forcibly banish a cultivator who was not one realm higher than him to another plane world. They couldn't return without being summoned!
"It's not a bad divine ability. Although it's a bit useless now, it'll be very useful in the future!"
Chuckling, Cheng Hao put away the black jade talisman. He was in a good mood. The rewards for this Demonized World Main Quest were quite good. If it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't at Stage 4 yet, he would've wanted to go there again and complete the rest of the quest.
"However, given the way the Haotian Mirror always issues quests, the final quest might very well be for me to learn from the Founding Emperor and go against the heavens to conquer the Immortal Realm. This quest is a bit too difficult. After all, if a Saint were to act, I probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape from this world!"
Shaking his head, Cheng Hao gave up on the idea of returning to the Demonized World of the Three Kingdoms in a short period of time. He stretched lazily and leisurely sipped his tea, appearing to be very relaxed.
.....
Days passed one after another in the Celestial Court. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years quietly passed in this peaceful world.
During these hundred years, Ning had long ago trained the Iceflame Art to the Celestial Immortal level. His combat power was comparable to that of an Empyrean God's, and he was no weaker than the True Immortals of the Three Realms.
Ever since he had reached the Celestial Immortal level, Ning had impatiently gone to the imperial study to pay his respects to Cheng Hao. And then, with his master's permission, he had happily departed from the Haotian World to go find his Dao-companion, Yu Wei.
Cheng Hao wasn't worried about Ning's safety at all. He was the main character, after all; in the Three Realms, there was no need to worry about anything happening. In addition, even if something did happen, he still had his master, Cheng Hao, by his side.
On this day, Cheng Hao's clone was, as usual, seated upon the imperial throne within the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches, quietly listening to the various Gods below him report to him about the events of the Three Realms.
"Your Imperial Majesty, in summary, your subjects believe that in a few days, the Seamless Gate will launch a war that will sweep across the Three Realms. Our Celestial Court has been preparing for this for quite some time. So long as you give the order, your subjects will be able to destroy the majority of the Seamless Gate forces in a short period of time!"
In the Imperial Court, a middle-aged man dressed in golden armor and carrying a small golden pagoda in his hands was making this report with a solemn look on his face.
"My beloved subjects, what do you think? Do you all agree to send out troops?" Cheng Hao nodded calmly. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Instantly, two different opinions appeared in the Imperial Court. Some requested to immediately send out troops to annihilate the Seamless Gate, while others wanted to wait and see what the other True Gods and Daofathers thought. In short, both opinions were reasonable, and for now, neither side was able to convince the other.
"Your Imperial Majesty, your subjects are unable to reach a consensus. Your Imperial Majesty, please make a final decision on your own!" Seeing that the various Gods were unable to reach a consensus, Taibai Jinxing immediately requested Cheng Hao to make a decision.
As Taibai Jinxing's voice fell, the Imperial Court instantly fell silent. The various Immortals and Gods lined up on both sides, quietly waiting for Cheng Hao's final decision.
"For now, we won't send out troops. Continue to monitor the Seamless Gate's every move!" Cheng Hao was silent for a moment, then made his decision.
"The Three Realms have been peaceful for too long. It's time for a war. Let those major powers of the Three Realms, who have been living too comfortably, understand the principle of 'those who are not of our race are bound to have different intentions'!"
