The array above the Ying Yuan Palace Hall rippled like water, revealing a real path. Countless demon soldiers rushed in, and from time to time, some of the demon soldiers that were pushed to the side touched the edge of the array and were sucked in, turning into dust in an instant.
Daoist Run Ming and his four fellow disciples were standing together, using their magic power to suppress the array around the palace hall. Because of the lack of the Heavenly Talisman, the array that was used to change the direction of the array did not have much power left. Therefore, they did not use the usual method to break the array, but directly used the method of direct confrontation.
Due to the fact that some parts of the array could not be broken in time, the demon soldiers that entered the array would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties. However, they did not care about this. There were countless demons and demons, and when the Third Prince ascended to the throne, there would be no need for them anymore. Now that some of them died, it would be considered as getting rid of the poison in the world in advance.
The Ying Yuan Palace Hall was made up of more than a thousand palaces. Apart from the array, there were also guards and Immortal Officials and Divine Generals guarding each of the palaces. It was not completely unguarded. When the demon soldiers rushed in, they immediately collided with these guards. All kinds of spiritual lights and even smoke rose, and rumbling sounds came one after another.
In front of the palace hall, a Golden Armored Divine General stood on a high tower, listening to the faint sounds coming from afar. There was a trace of uneasiness between his brows, and he asked, "Has the talisman been sent out?"
The Divine General beside him replied, "Reporting to Palace Master, it has been sent out long ago."
The Divine General looked at the sky and said anxiously, "Then why haven't the Celestial Lords come to help?"
The Divine General whispered, "Perhaps they have been obstructed. Since the Third Prince has come to attack the Sky Palace Hall, he will definitely try to stop the Celestial Lords?"
The divine general slammed his fist on the railing, and even the Watchtower, which had been refined with immortal methods, shook. He said with a heavy expression, "We can't count on the Celestial Lords anymore. Hurry up and invite the Celestial Masters of the Dao of Virtue."
There were a total of six Celestial Masters in the Heavenly Court. Five of them were from the Path of Virtue. Only the newly conferred Celestial Master, Immortal Yuhan, was from the Path of Perfection. They were usually worshipped by the Heavenly Court and represented the two Daoist lineages to mediate the heavens. Originally, they did not belong to the Heavenly Court and the Celestial Emperor could not command them. However, the Celestial General believed that as long as the Path of Virtue was unwilling to give up the position of the Orthodox Sect, they would definitely appear to protect it.
Haochang looked at the demon soldiers advancing layer by layer, breaking through countless palaces along the way, his heart was very excited. Suddenly, many of the big formations in front of him that were pushed apart suddenly closed up, separating the demons that were attacking this place into several groups, even in front of the main doors of the palaces, an air barrier was raised in the air. The originally endless force that was rushing in was blocked, like a wave crashing into a reef. His expression darkened, and he said, "What's going on?"
Daoist Run Ming said, "Don't worry, this is the appearance of Celestial Master of Virtue and Virtue. This is already within our expectations. These people are just juniors, and they are not proficient in Dao techniques yet, so just let I handle them."
He took out his horsetail whisk and placed it on the crook of his arm. After circulating his technique for a moment, with just a point of his finger, the formation that was closing up was pushed apart again. The few waves of magic power behind him collided with him a few times, but they were all injured and defeated.
Without these obstacles, the attack became smoother. After that, the attack became much smoother. After all, apart from the demon soldiers, the Third Prince also had more than ten thousand cultivators that he had recruited. Among them, there were many itinerant immortals, and their strength was not to be underestimated. On the other hand, the Heavenly Court did not have the protection of the Star Lords and only had a few palace guards and virtuous cultivators. They were unable to stop the attack and could only retreat.
Haochang's army had been advancing for more than a hundred days, and the demon soldier at the front had finally reached the main hall of the Ying Yuan Bao Palace. But the moment he stepped on the empty space in front of the palace, there was suddenly a thunderous roar in the sky. The demon soldier immediately turned into ashes, along with millions of demons and hundreds of Qi Practitioners behind him. A Daoist dressed in a Daoist robe appeared in the sky. It was Perfected Immortal Quan Dao, Zhi Quan.
Daoist Yin Ming saw this person from behind and circulated his technique to look around. He saw that Zhi Le and the others were not here, and only Zhi Quan was here. He knew that Zhi Quan was most likely being held up by Ying Kuang. With a thought, he instantly went over and stood opposite of Zhi Quan. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you can't stop us by yourself, why don't you make way to avoid harming the harmony between the two families?"
Zhi Quan frowned and said, "You lost the last time, why didn't you keep your promise and come to invade the Heaven Court?"
Daoist Yin Ming said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. The battle of the Heaven Court is the Hao family's matter, we came under the Third Prince's invitation, how could we go against our promise?"
Zhi Quan knew that he could not make the other party retreat with words, he could not even think about delaying them, so he said in a deep voice, "Then there's no need to say anything more, if you have any skills, just use them."
Daoist Yin Ming said, "Please," and the two of them instantly fought.
When Daoist Run Ming saw this, he immediately took out a spell, and the place where the two of them were fighting was instantly covered, the aftermath could no longer hit below. He turned around and said to Hao Chang, "Your Highness, we can go forward now, if there are any obstacles in the way, I will naturally block them."
Hao Chang nodded and started the carriage. The entire ceremonial procession moved forward slowly, passing through the path opened by many demon soldiers towards Ying Yuan's Hall of Treasures. The journey was not smooth, True Immortals of the Dao of Virtue would appear to obstruct them from time to time, but they were all blocked by the people of Quan Dao. Because Zhi Le and the other two had yet to return from the battle with Ying Kuang, the people of Quan Dao handled the situation very calmly.
Not long after, Hao Chang's carriage arrived at the bottom of the steps of the main hall. Looking at the horizontal board with the words "Ying Yuan" on top of the main hall, he was excited, he turned his head and said, "Daoist, please follow me into the hall."
Daoist Run Ming cupped his hands and said, "I will naturally follow."
Hao Chang tidied up his robe, walked up the steps to the platform, entered the main hall, and walked inside. Daoist Run Ming silently accompanied him at the side.
After passing through three main halls, the two of them finally arrived at the main hall. Hao Chang stepped in and raised his head to look, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Hao family was sitting on the throne, wearing an emperor's crown with five colored beads hanging down, a red hairpin tied to a scarlet hairpin, and a red hairpin to cover his ears. He was dressed in the robe of the Tian De Cult, with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers on it, the universe on his waist, and the stars on his feet. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but he was like a statue of a god in a temple, dignified and solemn, as if he had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Hao Chang enter, he slowly said, "My son is here."
Hao Chang's expression stiffened slightly. In the past, when he met the Heavenly Emperor, he was cold, distant, and unapproachable. Instead of saying they were father and son, they were more like a ruler and his subject. But today, it seemed to be very different from the past, and there was a sense of closeness, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath. Before coming here, he had prepared a lot of things to say, but when he arrived here, he realized that they were all superfluous. He walked straight to the front of the Jade Emperor, bowed, and said, "Your son respectfully requests Your Majesty to abdicate the throne!"
The Heavenly Emperor slowly said, "Since my son wants the throne, then take it."
Hao Chang was startled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the Heavenly Emperor in disbelief. He didn't expect the Heavenly Emperor to be so easy to talk to, and he couldn't help but suspect whether the Heavenly Emperor was playing some tricks, and his eyes also showed vigilance.
The Heavenly Emperor seemed to see through his doubts, and he patted the emperor's throne, sighed, and said, "My son only sees the benefits of the throne, but he doesn't see the restrictions within. As the Emperor of the Heavens, he is both favored by the heaven and earth's fate, and also restricted by the heaven and earth's fate."
Hao Chang was puzzled, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
The Heavenly Emperor sighed, and he said, "Ever since I became the Heavenly Emperor, my words and actions have been restricted by the heaven and earth's rules, and I have never been able to do as I please. I can only follow my heart for a moment every day, and although I'm called the Heavenly Emperor, I'm actually just a puppet controlled by the heaven and earth's fate."
Hao Chang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that. After asking a few more questions, he understood that when the Hao Clan's Celestial Being became the Heavenly Emperor, all of his emotions would be erased, and he would be forced to do so.
Ever since the Heavenly Emperor ascended to the throne, he had always been fighting against this, but there were only a few times every day when he could gain the upper hand, and during these moments when he was free, he would give some orders according to his own will, so sometimes it seemed like his actions were a little contradictory.
Not only that, every person who sat on the Heavenly Emperor's throne would do things exactly the same, as if they were molded from the same mold. They would not be out of line, nor would they be mediocre.
However, the heaven and earth had changed, and the Heavenly Order had declined, so the restraining power on the Heavenly Emperor would decrease. If not for this, he wouldn't have said so many words today.
The Heavenly Emperor sighed and said, "You are too selfish, you are not suitable for the throne, so I didn't want to choose you."
Hao Chang was a little confused, and when he heard the Heavenly Emperor's words, he blurted out, "Then what about fourteenth brother?"
The Heavenly Emperor sighed and said, "Although your fourteenth brother was originally smart, he suffered an accident a hundred years ago, and he has lost his mind and wisdom, so he is suitable for the throne."
Hao Chang's heart shook. Losing mind and wisdom was not a serious illness, and with the Heavenly Court's and Dao's methods, it should be able to cure him, but the Heavenly Court didn't do so. Could it be that someone was trying to stop him? Or was there another reason?
The Heavenly Emperor's gaze fell on him, and he said, "Knowing this, is my son still willing to ascend to the throne?"
Hao Chang gritted his teeth and said, "Of course."
Who knew whether the Heavenly Emperor was telling the truth or not? Moreover, he was already here, and there was no way out. Not only those immortal officials and generals who colluded with him, even Daojue would not allow him to do so.
The Heavenly Emperor saw that he was determined, so he didn't say anything more. He took out a square seal and placed it on the table, and he said, "The Heavenly Emperor Imperial Seal is here, if my son wants it, he can come and take it."
Hao Chang looked over and stared at the big seal, but he didn't move for a long time. But when things came to this, he actually felt a trace of fear.
At this moment, Daoist Run Ming reminded him, "Your Highness, please come forward and take over the throne."
Hao Chang struggled and said, "Shouldn't we gather all the officials and immortals to establish the title?"
Daoist Run Ming said, "The Grand Elders have an agreement with the Hao family, and the one who holds the imperial seal will be the emperor, so there is no need for the officials to interfere!" He then emphasized, "Your Highness, please come forward and take the seal!"
Hao Chang tried to calm his emotions, and he walked forward step by step. When he arrived in front of the table, he looked at the big seal, but his breathing became rapid, and he murmured, "All heavens worship the Emperor, and all worlds worship him! This should be mine! "He reached out and grabbed the imperial seal!
