In the end, the Demon Realm managed to escape!
It was not that Jiang He was softhearted, but the True Lord of Morality was adamant and would not budge.
"The strength of the Godfiend Emperor and the Demon Emperor after merging into one is not weaker than mine. Now that the Divine Realm has been destroyed, the Godfiend Emperor will definitely go mad with anger. But because the Demon World still exists, he can probably still maintain his rationality. If you loot the Demon World and the Demon Abyss, the Godfiend Emperor and the Saints of the Godfiend and Demon race will go completely crazy.
The True Lord of Morality said, and could not help glancing at Jiang He a few more times.
He had learned about Jiang He's past and was aware of his vengeful personality …
That was why he could understand Jiang He sneaking off to wreak havoc among the insectoids, the Blood Race's domain, and the Tianma Constellation.
Be that as it may, not even the Grand Pure One expected that Jiang He would plunder the divine realm … and it was not just him — no one had expected it either. Otherwise, the God-Demon Emperor would not have gone to outer space to fight him.
Moreover, Jiang He was not just plundering …
The True Lord of Morality and the God Emperor were locked in a fight outside the God Realm.
Hence, he quickly glanced at the God Realm …
It was truly tragic!
Hence, the True Lord of Heaven brought Jiang He back to the Three Realms.
The battle between the Primeval Lord of Heaven, the Grandmaster of Heaven, and the Daoist of Guidance came to an end as well, with the three Saints right behind them and returning to the Three Realms.
The once prosperous Tianma Constellation was now a chaotic expanse of dimensions, with every living being on the countless living planets in the Tianma Constellation being wiped out.
Such was the battle between Saints.
And that was only because their battleground had always been the Tianma Constellation. The destruction would have been worse if they had fought and chased each other.
…
The Three Realms.
The Six Holy Palaces.
The Six Holy Palaces were built by the Six Saints of the Three Realms, and were located in a special dimension above the Thirty-Three Skies of the Three Realms. It was built by the True Lord of Morality out of a foreign dimension fragment.
Jiang He arrived at the Six Holy Palaces and met the Daoist of Cundi and Nvywa, whom he had never met before.
Cundi appeared to be an old Daoist too, with a constant smile on his face, giving others the impression that he was a smiling tiger.
On the other hand, Nvywa's entire body was filled with Holy Spirit Qi, and she greeted Jiang He with a smile. "From this day onward, the Six Holy Palaces shall be renamed the Seven Holy Palaces."
"Goddess Nuwa is too polite."
Jiang He appeared very humble in front of the Saintess of humans and replied, "I'm just a junior who had cultivated for just over a dozen years. How could I be mentioned in the same breath as you lot?"
"…"
Nuwa was shocked.
The other Saints also had strange expressions on their faces.
The smile on Daoist Zhun Ti's face froze. He could not help but blush.
Though he had not participated in the battle just now, he had been observing the battlefield all along. His senses as a Saint naturally allowed him to sense everything that happened across worlds … which was why he was aware of Jiang He's battle against Lord Swelling Sky at the Divine Realm.
He had been able to slay Swelling Sky's "present body" after cultivating for more than a decade.
And he had cultivated for countless years …
In terms of combat prowess, he was at most on par with Hierarch Swelling Sky.
In the past, he did not think much of it … After all, he was a Saint. Who would dare to look down on him?
Even so, when he compared himself to Jiang He, he somehow felt a mysterious sense of shame.
After a few pleasantries, Jiang He rose to his feet and bowed to the Saints, saying, "Senior Brothers, I have been reckless today. I did not expect that a stroll outside would cause a war among the Saints."
"…"
The Saints were silent.
The Grandmaster of Heaven, who was the most familiar with Jiang He could not help twitching his mouth a few times and quietly said, "Brother, you call that a stroll? Leaving aside the Insectoids, they are a neutral race, and yet they keep trying to mess with the Three Realms. Do they really think that the Three Realms would not dare to touch them because the Gods and Demons are tied down? "
"The Vampires and the Sky Horses are loyal vassals of the Gods and Demons!"
"The Gods and Demons could not wait to drink your blood and feast on your marrow in the first place, and yet you went to the Sky Horses and the Vampires of your own accord. How could the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor not kill you?"
"That's not right, Brother Grandmaster of Heaven!"
Jiang He waved him off and said, "I only went to the Sky Horses and the Vampires because their Demi-Saints had tried to kill me. I'm going there for revenge, so how is that a disaster?"
Perhaps feeling that his words would not convince the others, Jiang He changed the topic and said, "Brothers, I've blown up Lord Swelling Sky's true form in today's battle, ransacked the God Realm and killed almost ninety-nine percent of the Gods' Golden Immortals and above … would the Gods and Demons retaliate against us?"
In fact, Jiang He was worried that the God Demon Emperor would shed all pretense of cordiality and directly lead the Gods and Demons to the Three Realms.
Even if the Saints of the Three Realms could stop them then, the five continents and the Celestial Court would be reduced to ashes like the Sky Horse Constellation when a war broke out in the Three Realms.
"I've already sent word to the factions of the Three Realms to retreat."
The True Lord of Morality waved him off and said, "I'll stand guard over the Three Realms, and the God Demon Emperor would not gain any advantage even if he really came."
The True Lord of Morality was very confident at that point.
It was clear that he had other arrangements in the Three Realms.
Moreover, with his ability, the Gods and Demons would notice him from hundreds of thousands of light years away if they really came. When that happens, he would attack first, leaving Nuwa and Zhunti to protect the Three Realms and have nothing to fear.
"That's good!"
Jiang He breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled. "Since the Three Realms are safe, I can seclude myself in peace."
"Seclusion again?"
The Grandmaster of Heaven's eyes widened. "Kid, you always seclude yourself and come out after just a few days … are you addicted to seclusion?"
"I don't want to!"
Jiang He could not decide whether to laugh or cry. "I've only ascended as a Saint in immortal arts and my understanding of Sainthood is still very weak. Moreover, I've gained some enlightenment from today's battle, and I need to go into seclusion to digest it."
"…"
The Saints were silent.
…
Jiang He received a message from Wang Hou before he went into seclusion.
He had agreed to meet up with Wang Hou at a divine city.
"Oh?"
Jiang He studied Wang Hou from head to toe after they met and exclaimed in surprise, "Minister Wang, your cultivation has improved again!"
"I've ascended in the last battle, and have been secluded ever since to meditate and gain some enlightenment." Wang Hou appeared very humble in front of Jiang He. Compared to the superior beings, his cultivation progress was godly, and even if he cultivated under accelerated time, Wang Hou had cultivated for just over five hundred years, and yet he was already at the fourteenth-tier intermediate of martial arts …
His combat ability was comparable to intermediate Demi-Saints.
Even so, he knew very well that his achievements were nothing compared to Jiang He's.
"You've been in seclusion all this time?"
Jiang He was surprised again. "It's been so long since the last Demi-Saint battle. Have you been in seclusion until now?"
A long time?
Wang Hou was speechless.
How long had it been?
At our level of cultivation, even a hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye, let alone a few months, alright?
Then, he heard Jiang He's tone change as he sighed, "Many exciting things happened while you were in seclusion, Minister Wang … it's a pity you couldn't see it because you were cultivating in seclusion!"
"What things?"
Wang Hou's eyes lit up.
Jiang He mused to himself for seconds, trying to organize his words, but no matter how he thought about it … too many things had happened since the Demi-Saint battle. Would it not be too troublesome if he told him everything one by one?
Hence, the thousands of things he wanted to say gathered into two words —
"I've become a Saint!"
