After Zhang Yan and the two Grand Elders reached an agreement, the three of them wrote a letter and sent it to the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Emperor had to make a decision on the spot.
Their actions made it seem like they weren't being very courteous to a celestial emperor, but in reality, this was how the grand elders usually treated him.
Even the few Grand Elders of Virtue and Dao used coercive methods to deal with the Heavenly Emperor. There were cases where they respected the Heavenly Emperor's wishes, but it was rare.
At the end of the day, as the Grand Elders of Dao, if it was not for that item, why would they care about a True God? Even if this True God was favored by the heavens and earth, it was still ordinary.
However, the three of them also knew that because Dao of Virtue and Dao used to be the orthodox faction, the Heavenly Emperor would not dare to agree hastily. They could only wait until they gained more advantages before they could make the Heavenly Emperor give in.
Therefore, if there was no obvious result after this battle, the two sides would most likely have to fight to determine the winner.
After Zhi Le was teleported away by the Heavenly Talisman, he was trapped in an unknown place. However, he knew that the Second Prince could not be saved, so he did not teleport back. Instead, he returned to Zique Mountain as soon as he was free.
All the Perfected Immortals of Dao of Virtue and Dao sensed the Second Prince's death. They were originally fighting with the Forgotten Li Mountain and Dao of Virtue and Dao Sect, but since the Second Prince was gone, there was no need for them to continue fighting, so they quietly retreated.
At this moment, Zhi Chang and Zhi Sheng returned one after another. Although they did not suffer any injuries, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Zhi Le said in a low voice, "The Second Prince is dead. If Zique Mountain wants to maintain its position as the orthodox faction, we must choose another Prince."
Zhi Chang said, "The Seventh Prince can be used."
The Seventh Disciple was their other choice. Since the Second Prince was not around, the Seventh Disciple was the most suitable candidate.
However, Zhi Sheng did not agree. He shook his head and said, "The Seventh Prince has already been pushed out of the battle in the lower realm. Even if we are willing to choose him, the Heavenly Emperor may not agree. It is difficult for us to stand on our side."
Zhi Chang thought for a while. Other than the Seventh Prince, the other Princes were not suitable. He frowned and said, "Then do we have to choose another Great Prince? However, he is especially hostile towards me. What can I do? "
At this moment, Zhi Le said, "There is one more candidate." He raised his head and looked at the two of them, "The Fourteenth Prince!"
Zhi Chang and Zhi Sheng looked at each other.
Zhi Chang said with a serious expression, "Senior Brother, the Fourteenth Prince is the Heavenly Emperor's final choice. He won't let this prince join any family easily."
Zhi Le said in a deep voice, "Then let's report to the Founding Master and try to get him to decide on this matter!"
Beyond the heavens and earth, countless severed limbs and broken weapons and treasures floated about. Together with the broken palaces and flying ships, they almost covered the entire void.
Ying Kuang floated here by himself, and at this moment, his eyes were closed tightly as if he'd lost consciousness.
In the next moment, he opened his eyes and a bright light flashed. Then, an invisible force spread out and pushed away the remnants floating near him. Then, he slowly straightened his body.
Since arriving in the void, he had fought a bloody battle with the All-heaven Star Lords who came to capture him. However, after this battle, apart from being slightly exhausted, he was actually unharmed.
The power of the Heavenly Talisman far exceeded his imagination. The All-heaven Star Lords' bodies were all shattered.
However, this person was transformed from Star Essence. Normally, he only resided in a giant body that was as large as a mountain. As long as the starlight was not extinguished, he would not die.
After he was banished to the lower realm, his Immortal Record was taken away. At this moment, he could at most be counted as half a cultivator. Therefore, as long as the Heavenly Court was willing and was willing to pay any price, they could send an endless number of Star Lords over. Then, they could definitely exhaust him to death.
He had just rested for a while and had already recovered some strength. Looking out, the starlight in the distant sky had once again lit up. It was likely that the next wave of attacks was about to arrive. Thus, he braced himself and quietly waited here.
However, what surprised him was that just as the bright starlight was about to burst out, it suddenly paused, and then gradually dimmed.
He frowned. If there was no accident, the Heavenly Court should have given up on this expedition.
He couldn't help but think that the Heavenly Court retreated at this moment. On the surface, it seemed that they were afraid that he would control too many Heavenly Talismans, causing the karma between heaven and earth to become chaotic and restless.
However, deep in his heart, he believed that this was not the only reason.
The Star Lords were not completely flawless. As long as the Heavenly Star Essence that resided in the void was erased, the Star Lords would cease to exist. Just Now, he once had the thought of directly charging into the void and killing this person. In reality, if this person came again, he was prepared to take action.
Perhaps it was because of this thought that the Heavenly Court was aware of it and did not dare to cause trouble for him in the short term.
However, he had stayed by the Heavenly Emperor's side for a long time and understood the Heavenly Emperor's thoughts very well. Logically speaking, he was already weak at this time and should have killed this person in one go. As the Heavenly Emperor's control over the Heavenly Talisman became better, it might not be so easy next time. However, the Heavenly Emperor did not do so because he had some concerns. The biggest possibility was that he might need the Heavenly Star Lords in the near future and did not want this person to suffer too great a loss.
He thought for a long time. Since the Heavenly Court had given up, he could leave this body behind and do more things. Thus, he turned and left, returning to the human world.
On the other side, the Eleventh Prince, Hao Neng, handed over the Apricot Continent that he had conquered to a trusted aide and returned to Yanlu Kingdom.
His biggest gain from this trip was to gather more than half of the Qi Practitioners in the Apricot Continent under his command.
The Third Prince occupied the Chengyang Palace and amassed a large amount of wealth. He even heard that because all the True Gods in the palace were killed, everything of this generation fell into the hands of the Third Prince. With the wealth that he plundered, he could easily gather a million demon soldiers.
However, he believed that these Qi Practitioners would be the most important support for him in the future.
Especially after this battle, he realized that under the situation where the Quandao and De Dao were in a stalemate and could not pour too much power into the Lower Realm, this generation could play a more important role in stabilizing the situation.
After settling the matters that had accumulated in his kingdom, he personally went to the place where Yi Guang cultivated and said, "Daoist Yi Guang, I intend to visit the Grand Elder at the Forgotten Li Mountain, is that okay?"
On the way back, a Qi Practitioner had suggested that he try his best to make a trip to Li Wang Mountain. Because after this battle, everyone would know that he was on the same side as Li Wang Mountain. However, he hadn't officially declared his stand yet, and such a matter couldn't be delayed for long.
After he heard that, he felt that it was a good idea, which was why he suggested it.
Yi Guang smiled and said, "That is easy. Prince, please wait for a moment, I will ask the Ancestral Master."
He immediately stood up and ordered his subordinates to set up the incense table, burn the incense, and pray. After a while, he felt a thought enter his mind. He bowed three times, turned around and said, "Prince, the Ancestral Master allows you to see him."
Hao Neng was relieved, and he bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you, Daoist. When can I visit the Grand Elder?"
Yi Guang smiled and said, "If it is convenient for you, Prince, you can go now."
Hao Neng nodded solemnly and said, "I will go back to make some preparations, and then I will follow you up the mountain."
Yi Guang looked at him deeply and nodded when he heard him address him as a junior.
Hao Neng took this trip very seriously. After he returned, he immediately burned incense and bathed. He also ordered his subordinates to prepare many offerings. Although the Grand Elder did not need these things, he still had to make the necessary gesture.
The next day, he went to Yi Guang again, and the latter rolled up his sleeves and flew up.
Hao Neng felt that he had landed on a celestial mountain, and there was a Daoist palace in front of him. Some Daoists were cultivating in the open space in front of the palace, and no one looked at them.
Yi Guang said, "Prince, please wait here for a moment, I will go into the palace to report to the Ancestral Master."
Hao Neng quickly said, "Thank you, Daoist."
Not long after, a Daoist child walked out and said with a clear voice, "Are you the 11th Prince? The Ancestral Master is summoning you into the palace. "
Hao Neng cupped his hands together and followed the Taoist child inside. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw that there were two Taoists standing on both sides of the hall. Yi Guang stood on the first seat on the right. Further up, there was a high platform where a young Taoist dressed in a black robe sat. However, even though his silhouette was extremely clear, when it was reflected in Hao Neng's mind, he could not see his face clearly.
As the son of the Celestial Emperor, he knew that the Grand Elder was beyond the heaven and earth, and was not someone he could see. He quickly lowered his head and bowed respectfully, saying, "The 11th Prince of the Heavenly Monarch, Hao Neng, greets the Grand Elder!"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "11th Prince, please rise."
Hao Neng said loudly, "With the help of the Forgotten Mountain, the power of the Fengguo Kingdom is growing, but my brothers are only greedy for personal benefits, and none of them care about the people. I have the heart to rule the world, but I do not know how to do it. Please tell me, Grand Elder."
He was not afraid that the Celestial Emperor would know, and he did not need to hide his true thoughts. When the Celestial Emperor was the first to banish him to the Lower Realm, he knew that if he did not fight for it, when the other brothers ascended to the throne, not only would his own fate be difficult to control, even the people who followed him would not have a good ending. Therefore, he took this step forward, and there was no turning back.
Zhang Yan looked down and said, "After the Prince ascends to the throne, are you willing to worship the Forgotten Mountain?"
Hao Neng heard this and bowed deeply, saying solemnly, "If I can ascend to the throne, I will worship the Forgotten Mountain as the righteous sect. My son will worship the true deity of the Forgotten Mountain as his teacher, and I swear that I will never go back on my words! “
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "If I want you to expel the Dao of Virtue, and the Dao of Perfection, are you willing?"
Hao Neng was startled and immediately realized what the Forgotten Li Mountain wanted to do. He was shocked, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that he was now tied to the Forgotten Li Mountain, and he couldn't stop the Forgotten Li Mountain from doing anything, so he didn't think too much and said, "I'm willing!"
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Since you call yourself a disciple, then I will treat you as a disciple of the Forgotten Mountain." At this moment, a spiritual light shot down and fell into Hao Neng's arms. He looked down and saw a small, shiny seal. He knew that it must be a rare treasure, so he carefully kept it.
Zhang Yan said again, "You are now a prince, and it is not suitable for you to stay in the mountain for long. Go down the mountain first, and there will be people who will help you in the future."
