If Zhang Yan was willing, he could easily change the desires of all living beings in the world with just a little bit of skill. And without the Grand Elders of the Quan Clan and De Clan, no one would be able to stop him.
However, he could feel that if he wanted to obtain that item, he shouldn't interfere too much with the Heaven Court's conflict. This was also the reason why Grand Elders never interfered in the fight for the throne. Therefore, he only passed down the task and ordered his disciples to do as they pleased.
Now, he was the only one in the universe who could be called Grand Elder. He could observe the past and the future. Not to mention that he wouldn't fail this time, even if there was an accident, he could try again.
After Danguang received the order, he immediately went to the Yanlu Kingdom.
The 11th prince listened to his advice and didn't make any moves, waiting for Hao Chang to ascend the throne. Until now, he didn't declare to attack Hao Chang like the other princes. He was just waiting for the right time to come.
After Danguang arrived, he had a detailed discussion with him. A few days later, the Yanlu Kingdom also raised the flag of attack.
After the new Emperor Hao Chang heard about this, he was shocked and angry. He knew very well that the 11th prince was backed by the Forgotten Li Mountain and that they were allies. Therefore, after becoming the Heaven Emperor, he wanted to rope in the 11th prince.
If Hao Neng rebelled now, it meant that the Grand Elder behind the Forgotten Li Mountain had acquiesced to this. If this Grand Elder was on De Dao's side, it would be difficult for him to sit on the throne.
Therefore, he quickly invited Daoist Run Ming to teach him about this.
Although the Grand Elders of the two sects were banished, their disciples still existed in this world. However, the Grand Elders rarely appeared in front of people. Therefore, on the surface, there seemed to be no change in the heavens. The two sects were still unaware of this. Therefore, Daoist Run Ming did not understand the reason behind this.
He only comforted Hao Chang, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Now that you are the Heaven Emperor, you have billions of demon soldiers and tens of thousands of Qi Practitioners. Even if there are no Star Lords, you are enough to suppress the worlds. Even if the princes join forces to attack you, you have nothing to fear. As for this matter, a few days ago, Patriarch and the Forgotten Li Mountain's Grand Elder visited Zique Mountain. Maybe something happened, let me ask Patriarch."
Daoist Run Ming immediately went back to burn incense and pay his respects, but there was no response. He could only inform Hao Chang and have him wait.
In Yanlu Kingdom, with the help of the cultivators of Li Wang Mountain, the Eleventh Prince recruited many Qi Practitioners and Rogue Immortals. In a short period of time, his power increased exponentially. After a little preparation, he imitated what Hao Chang had done earlier and raised his army to attack the Heaven Court.
The Eleventh Prince never used demons under his command, so he didn't have many troops. This time, there were barely a million of them. However, there were indeed many cultivators in the formation, even more than the new Emperor Hao Chang, who had already ascended to the throne. Because most of the newly recruited soldiers of the Heavenly Court had gone to the lower realms to quell the rebellion, there was almost no obstruction along the way. In just a few days, they had already killed their way to the Ying Yuan Hall. If this continued, it seemed that there would be a new Emperor in the heavens.
Haochang didn't expect the Eleventh Prince's troops to advance so quickly. Seeing the urgency of the situation, he invited Priest Run Ming over and asked, "Priest, what should we do? You told me to wait the last time, but why haven't there been any results after so many days? "
To ease his mind, Priest Run Ming could only say, "I have asked, the patriarch is fighting with De Dao and has no time to care about this. But don't worry, Your Highness, with my help, the Heaven Court won't be in danger."
Hao Chang said, "It's a pity that the Celestial Lords of Heaven don't work for me. Otherwise, why would this happen?"
Priest Run Ming frowned. The Celestial Lords of Heaven were indeed a big problem. Not long ago, he had figured out the reason why this generation was still unwilling to follow the new Emperor's orders. It was because Zhi Le and the others had previously blocked Ying Kuang as a condition that they couldn't work for Hao Chang before the heavens were truly stabilized.
In reality, it was just a promise and couldn't bind this generation. The real reason was that the Celestial Lords of Heaven saw that Quan Dao hadn't been able to establish a proper religion, so they didn't think highly of Hao Chang. Thus, they used this as an excuse to sit back and do nothing. After all, no matter which Prince became the new Emperor, he wouldn't be able to leave them in the end.
When Hao Chang saw that the eleventh prince had already reached the gates of the Heaven Court, he could no longer care about anything else. He called back all the soldiers that were sent to deal with the princes. Initially, he wanted to rely on his superior numbers to defeat the princes in one fell swoop. However, as soon as the two sides clashed, the eleventh prince's side had more Qi Practitioners than the Heaven Court by a few times. Their skills and techniques rained down like rain, causing the eleventh prince to suffer a great defeat.
After Hao Chang received the report, he understood that there was no hope of fighting the Eleventh Prince head-on. Thus, he could only rely on the Array Formations in the Hall of Ying Yuan to call back all the soldiers to defend. But these Array Formations didn't have much effect under the suppression of the True Immortals of Mount Li Wang. They were attacked one after another, and the guards in the hall retreated day by day. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Daoist Run Ming's heart was heavy. He tried to use his power to suppress the Eleventh Prince, but he was blocked by the True Immortals of Mount Li Wang. He knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long, so he prayed to the Patriarch again. But he still didn't get any response. Thus, he could only send out a letter to summon all his peers from Quan Dao. He didn't even care about the arrangements that he had prepared to defend against the Dao of Virtue.
As for the Dao of Virtue, they didn't know that their Patriarch had been expelled, so they thought that it was a fight between Quan Dao and Mount Li Wang. They were happy to watch from the sidelines, waiting for both sides to suffer. Then, they would order the Princes that they supported to go up and take down both sides.
When Dandy Guang saw that the True Immortals of Quan Dao had all arrived, the situation was at a stalemate. In order to break through the Heaven Courtyard as soon as possible, he handed the matter over to his peers and went down to the lower bound to look for Ying Kuang.
Ying Kuang saw him and asked, "Is Daoist here to collect my Heavenly Talisman?"
Dandy Guang smiled and shook his head, "The Heavenly Talisman was refined by the Dao of Virtue's Taishang, so I won't take it from Mount Li Wang. After the Eleventh Prince ascends to the throne, the Patriarch will refine another one."
Ying Kuang asked, "Then why did Daoist come here?"
Dandy Guang said, "The Eleventh Prince led the army to attack the Heaven Courtyard. Now that the war is at a stalemate, we need Imperial Censor Zuo to take action." At this point, he added, "Mount Li Wang will allow you to pass on the Heavenly Talisman to your disciple. If you are interested, after the Eleventh Prince ascends to the throne, we can also bestow him with a title."
Ying Kuang didn't agree immediately, but asked, "After the Eleventh Prince ascends to the throne, how will the celestial beings be dealt with?"
Dandy Guang smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is personally written by the Eleventh Prince, Imperial Censor Zuo can take a look at it."
Ying Kuang took the letter and read it. After a while, he carefully kept the letter, stood up, and cupped his hands, saying, "Wait for me to explain. Then, he left with Daoist Zhang. "Imperial Censor Zuo:
At the same time, the Eleventh Prince, Hao Neng, was entertaining a messenger sent by the Heavenly Mother.
The messenger first handed over an imperial edict, then said, "The Hao Clan has always been in charge of the Heaven Courtyard, and the Yun Clan has always been in charge of human relations. If Your Highness is willing to agree to Heavenly Mother's conditions, Heavenly Mother can help Your Highness ascend to the throne."
Hao Neng looked at it and raised his head, saying, "Heavenly Mother is my father's queen, so I can respect her as my mother. However, I need Heavenly Mother to promise me one thing."
The messenger said, "Please speak, Your Highness."
Hao Neng said, "Since the Hao Clan is in charge of the Heaven Courtyard, the Yun Clan will no longer receive any tributes after I ascend to the throne."
"This …" The messenger was in a difficult position.
Hao Neng said, "I know it's hard for the messenger to make the decision. You can pass my words to Heavenly Mother. If she agrees, then come here again. If she doesn't, then there's no need to meet again."
The messenger didn't have much to say, so he said, "I will pass on Your Highness's words."
After he cupped his hands, he left. However, half a day later, he turned back and said, "Heavenly Mother wishes to have a talk with Your Highness."
After getting Hao Neng's permission, he took out a scroll and unfolded it. Heavenly Mother's appearance was reflected.
When Hao Neng saw it, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Heavenly Mother."
Heavenly Mother nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, you may dispense with the formalities. Let me ask you, if I'm not willing to take in the Yun Clan disciples, what will Your Highness do?
Hao Neng said resolutely, "After I ascend to the throne, I will immediately order them to migrate. If they don't obey, there will be restrictions from the heavens!"
Heavenly Mother said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of attracting criticism from the heavens?"
The so-called criticism from the heavens was similar to the situation that Hao Chang faced. Even if he ascended to the throne, there would be many who opposed it, causing the throne to be unstable.
If it was before, Hao Chang wouldn't have dared to do this. Now that he knew that De Dao and Quan Dao's Tai Shang had been expelled by the Li Wang Mountain's Tai Shang, why would he need to worry about this person? Thus, he said, "I walk on the righteous path, what do I have to fear?"
Heavenly Mother looked at him for a moment and sighed, "Among all the princes, you are the most similar to His Majesty. As the Yun Clan Leader, I won't do anything that will harm my clansmen. Your Highness, do what you have to do." As soon as she finished, her figure slowly dissipated.
On the second day, Hao Neng's side continued to attack. This time, with the help of Ying Kuang's Heavenly Talisman, Quan Dao's Perfected Immortals couldn't resist anymore. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, they didn't bother anymore and left in conveyance lights.
Without Quan Dao's support, Hao Chang was forced to abdicate.
Two months later, the Eleventh Prince ascended to the throne and immediately issued a decree to invite the Li Wang Mountain to be the righteous path. However, at this time, De Dao used the same trick again and refused to retreat.
However, this time was different from the previous time. As the Tai Shang had been expelled, the Weili naturally didn't exist. Therefore, the person who issued the summons immediately barged into the hall and forcibly removed the memorial tablets of the three Tai Shang, De Dao and Quan Dao. He also removed the side hall. From then on, there were no two halls and only Zhang Yan was worshiped.
At the moment when Li Wang Mountain was worshiped as the righteous path, Zhang Yan's heart moved. He could clearly sense that a mysterious object appeared in this world. It didn't come from the outside like the Spiritual Enhancement Weili, nor was it born when he created the world. It seemed to have always been there, but he just didn't notice it.
He looked at the object for a moment and calculated in his heart for a long time. He realized that it was very consistent with one of his previous guesses. He couldn't help but nod and said, "I see." He reached out and flipped his wrist. In a split second, the object was already in his palm!
