After Zhang Yan and Quan Dao, the two Taoists, came up with a plan, in order to declare that they were the Orthodox Sect, they ordered their disciples to draft an imperial edict, which listed the mistakes of the Heaven Emperor and the Hao and Qiao two families.
Not long after the edict was issued, the three of them sensed it and immediately understood that their positions in the side hall of the Heavenly Court had been removed.
Obviously, after the Heaven Emperor learned of this, he knew that there was no way to reconcile the two sides, so he completely sided with De Dao.
The three of them were indifferent to this. The position in the side hall was just for show, but the Heavenly Court feared the Grand Supreme and did not dare to not do so. Now that they had fallen out, they did not expect the Heavenly Court to tolerate it.
However, as long as they could support the prince they valued to inherit the throne and establish their own sect as the Orthodox Sect, then they could naturally be listed in the main hall. Therefore, this was only a small matter, and they did not need to care too much.
However, to change the throne, they had to first overthrow De Dao.
As for the Fourteenth Prince, he was not important at all. In this game involving the three Grand Supreme, he was not even a speck of dust. In the future, he could be dealt with by the new Emperor.
At this moment, the Daoist on the right pointed in the air, and a golden talisman immediately appeared and floated down. He made a gesture of invitation and said to Zhang Yan, "The battle talisman is here, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it."
Zhang Yan's gaze landed on the two of them. Quan Dao didn't intend to personally participate in the battle. They were only preparing to arrange for their disciples to compete with De Dao. The winner would be honored, and the loser would have to leave.
Such a choice was understandable. Because once the Grand Supreme took action, it was very likely to cause the universe to collapse and all the heavens to disappear. If they did not want to recreate the world, then they had to do their best to avoid fighting.
He raised his head and asked, "If De Dao and De Dao do not accept this battle, what should we do?"
The two Grand Supreme fell silent. This was the last thing they wanted to see. If De Dao did not accept this battle, then things would become extremely troublesome. Of course, they could send their subordinates to attack the Heavenly Court, but De Dao could move them into Zique Mountain. If it really came to that, unless the two of them personally took action, it would be impossible to break through that place.
The key was that the Celestial Court still had something they wanted. If they didn't get the emperor seal, they wouldn't be recognized by the world. Even if they built another Celestial Court, it would be useless.
The Daoist on the left asked, "Does fellow Daoist have any ideas?"
Zhang Yan's gaze sharpened and he said, "Now is not the time to talk about reason. We should go straight to the Purple Palace and change the universe. I have a treasure that can definitely appear in the world. If the two of you think it is possible, I will take it out. At that time, we can compete with Dao of Virtue and there will be no need to worry."
The two Grand Exalts remained silent. If there was such a treasure, then regardless of the mysteries behind it, it could at least withstand the combined strength of several Grand Exalts. However, at the same time, they also thought that since this treasure could be used for defense, could it be used for offense? Moreover, if it really had such power, the two of them might not be able to resist it.
One should know that although they were allies with Zhang Yan now, they had no choice but to stand together because they had a common enemy. Once Dao of Virtue was removed, they would be enemies again. Therefore, they were a little wary of this.
The treasure that Zhang Yan mentioned was actually the shell of the Taiyi Golden Pearl. It was maintained by his own arcane energy. As long as he took it out, he could isolate the inside from the outside world. If he made a move, as long as he didn't go too far, he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.
However, if he did it all by himself, he might alarm the True Body. If he could get the approval of the two Grand Exalts, then it would be very different. Because it was allowed by the two Grand Exalts, it wouldn't reveal the secrets of heaven.
The Grand Exalts on the left thought for a long time and discussed with the other Grand Exalts in private for a while before saying, "Let's first send a letter to Dao of Virtue. If he doesn't accept it, then it won't be too late to carry out fellow Daoist's plan."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Let's do as the two Daoists say."
He predicted that Dao of Virtue wouldn't be overthrown so easily. In the end, when the two Grand Exalts were at their wit's end, they would still return to their own path.
After getting his approval, the two Grand Exalts immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Zique Mountain with their arcane energy.
Not long after, a reply flew over.
The Daoist on the left took the letter, opened it, and said, "The other side said that they are willing to fight with me for three rounds before talking about the rest."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. Dao of Virtue didn't mention anything about the outcome of the battle. It could be seen that they didn't have any sincerity and just wanted to delay it temporarily. However, the two Grand Exalts obviously didn't think so. They seemed to think that there was no need for Forgotten Mountain to intervene in this battle, so they immediately sent three disciples down the mountain to meet the appointment.
In Zique Mountain, the arranged battle was already known by Zhi Le and the others. Because this battle didn't involve the Grand Exalts, it was still decided by the three of them according to the previous arrangement.
The three of them were very sure at this moment. Previously, they had fought with Forgotten Mountain and Quandao. In terms of cultivation and arcane energy, there was a limit to the difference between them. Although the two sects combined were slightly stronger than them, they didn't surpass them. It could be said that they were evenly matched, so the most likely outcome of this battle was that it would be difficult to determine the winner.
Moreover, as long as the Ether sects fought, it was normal for there to be no winner for three to five years. Maybe it could drag on for tens or hundreds of years. By then, the situation would be different. However, because Dao of Virtue was the righteous sect, it would definitely be more advantageous to them.
Zhi Le said, "Quandao shouldn't be underestimated. In order to dispel their greed, this battle will be handled by me and the two Junior Martial Brothers."
Zhi Le could control life and ordinary things.
Zhi Le then said, "The reason why Quandao and Forgotten Mountain can compete with Dao of Virtue is because they have two princes in their hands. If they can be eliminated, they will have no more righteousness to rely on."
Zhi Chang said, "Hao Chang and Hao Neng are both under the protection of Dao of Virtue and Forgotten Mountain. It won't be easy to take their lives."
Zhi Le said, "We have to try."
Zhi Sheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe we can make Ying Kuang do it?"
When Zhi Le heard this, he had an idea and said, "Junior Martial Brother, what do you think? Why don't you tell me?"
Zhi Sheng said, "The reason why Ying Kuang killed the Second Prince was not because he hated our virtue, nor was it because he hated the Hao and Hou families. I think he hated the Deity ruling the world, that's why he did this."
Zhi Le nodded slowly, "That makes sense."
Zhi Sheng continued, "Since this person hates Hao Clan, we can use him. If we can instigate him to kill Hao Chang and Hao Neng, it will save us a lot of effort. Moreover, this person has the Heavenly Talisman, so he will be a problem. Even if he fails and is killed by Forgotten Mountain or Quandao, it will still be a good thing."
Zhi Le thought for a while and agreed, "The three of us still have to deal with Quandao, so Junior Martial Brother Zhi Quan will do it. If he succeeds, it won't be a big deal."
At the same time, Wan Guang also came to Yanlu Kingdom under Zhang Yan's order. This time, he brought a treasure from Forgotten Mountain. After inviting the Eleventh Prince, he took out the treasure and threw it on the ground to make a cave. He pointed to the place and said, "Prince, stay here for the night. If there is nothing important, don't come out."
Hao Neng was surprised, "Daoist, why do we have to do this?"
Wan Guang said solemnly, "The Eleventh Prince and the Third Prince have been convicted by the Celestial Court. We can't guarantee that the Celestial Court won't use this as an excuse to punish you. Virtue and Taoism might be your opponent. Prince, you can only stay here to avoid it."
Actually, if the Star Lords came, they were not afraid with them here. However, Hao Neng was a Prince, and he was related to Heaven Emperor's bloodline. It was hard to guarantee that the Celestial Court didn't have any secret techniques that could be used against him.
Only by hiding in the cave outside the seclusion would they be safe.
Hao Neng also knew that this was a crucial time. His own matter was no longer a matter of one person, so he didn't insist. He followed everyone's advice and hid in the cave.
Wan Guang saw him enter and calmed down. Even if someone of Virtue and Taoism came to attack, he didn't have to worry.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He realized that someone was calling him. After a little calculation, he knew the person's identity. He immediately moved to that place.
He looked up and saw Ying Kuang standing not far away. He said, "Zuo Yuzhong is calling I. Is there something?"
Ying Kuang said in a deep voice, "Sorry to disturb Daoist. I might need to go to the Celestial Court, but I lack something to hide. Does Daoist have it?"
After thinking about it for the past few days, he felt that the Star Lords were not only a threat to him, but also the Celestial Court's military force. If he could make a move first, he might be able to severely injure this person.
Previously, he didn't think in this direction because he didn't think he could defeat the Star Lords. However, after the previous battle, he felt that he might be able to do it.
However, it was difficult to hide his tracks when going to the void. He could use the Heavenly Talisman, but this item was deeply connected to the Celestial Court. Heaven Emperor might sense it, so he wanted to ask for help from Forgotten Li Mountain.
After Danguang understood his purpose, he thought for a while and said, "I do have something here." He took out a green leaf from his sleeve and handed it to Ying Kuang.
This was what he used to hide himself when he explored the Circling Dragon Palace. He wanted to hand it over after the matter was over, but Zhang Yan told him to keep it by his side. Now, he was giving it to Ying Kuang.
Ying Kuang took it and put it away solemnly.
Danguang thought for a while and took out another item. He said, "Previously, I saw Zuo Yuzhong fighting with the Star Lords. Although the Heavenly Talisman is strong, it can't last for long. I will give you another item." He flipped his hand and took out a triangular incense burner. He said, "This is the Essence Embryo Burner. It has the ability to regenerate primordial essence. With this item to protect the foundation, I believe Zuo Yuzhong can use it.
Ying Kuang's expression flickered. He stretched out his hand and took it without hesitation. He tried to infuse his transcendence energy into it and instantly felt a wave of vitality spreading into his body. In an instant, he became spirited and energetic. He immediately praised, "What a good treasure." Then, he looked at Danguang and cupped his hands. "I thank you. However, I may not have the chance to return this item to you."
Wan Guang waved his hand and said, "I'll give this item to the Imperial Advisor, there's no need for you to thank me." He didn't hold back and said, "If you succeed, it will be beneficial to my generation. I wish you success."
