Chapter 1054: Chapter 1073: Heavenly Corner
Pangu’s True Body! Pangu’s Primordial Spirit!
If Hong Jun Daozu did not intend to recreate Pangu God, Ye Xuan could not think of any other reason.
"Heavenly Venerate."
The subordinates of the Heavenly Court came roaring in, each with a trace of guilt on their faces.
"Hmph."
Ye Xuan snorted coldly, his voice murmuring, "Even if you wish to recreate Pangu, so what? Just wait until I survive the Heavenly Dao Eighth Tribulation and see who triumphs."
Ye Xuan’s invincible momentum had been established; he would not fear or retreat for anyone or anything. Even if Pangu truly reappeared between Heaven and Earth, it would be nothing more than a battle.
Rumble!
Ye Xuan took a step forward and entered the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven. At this moment, the Heavenly Court resounded with eighty-one chimes, prompting everyone to rush to the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
Heavenly Venerate Palace!
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void, with the subordinates of the Heavenly Court standing on both sides below. For a moment, the entire Heavenly Court was extremely silent, with everyone’s eyes fixed on Ye Xuan.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Ye Xuan casually cast six rays of purple light, instantly illuminating the entire Heavenly Venerate Palace, further igniting the fervor in the eyes of the Heavenly Court subordinates, even causing their breaths to quicken.
The seven Hongmeng Purple Qi, representing seven Saint Positions, were all in Ye Xuan’s hands, and the seven great Saints under Heaven and Earth had long since turned to dust and perished.
No Saints in Heaven and Earth!
A simple phrase summed up the situation of this Primordial World, for all the Saints had fallen, and the seven Hongmeng Purple Qi were all in Ye Xuan’s hands.
For a moment, the Heavenly Venerate Palace was extremely silent, with no one making a sound, for the Heavenly Court subordinates knew that Ye Xuan had summoned them here to announce something.
"The seven Heavenly Dao Saint Positions represent seven Heavenly Dao Saints. But there is something I must tell you: those who acquire the Saint Positions must obey Hong Jun Daozu’s arrangements, be bound under the Heavenly Dao, and ultimately become my enemies." Ye Xuan spoke indifferently.
"Hiss!"
As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the sound of sharp inhalation continuously arose. The originally fervent emotions of the Heavenly Court subordinates cooled down abruptly.
Everyone desired the Saint Position, but becoming enemies with Ye Xuan was not the outcome they wished to see.
The fervent gaze of figures like Donghuang Taiyi gradually calmed, while even Minghe Ancestor, the person most eager for a Saint Position, remained silent.
What a joke?
To become enemies with Ye Xuan for a Saint Position, unless they truly sought death.
"Good, your loyalty is indeed impressive." A smile crept onto Ye Xuan’s lips, a trace of satisfaction crossing his eyes.
What is a Heavenly Dao Saint?
Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao!
Without the Heavenly Dao, there would be no Saints.
The so-called Heavenly Dao Saints are in fact born from relying on the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao grants this person power beyond a Quasi-Saint, which is the essence of a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Thus, Heavenly Dao Saints are subjected to the will of the Heavenly Dao, and consequently to Hong Jun’s manipulations. Ye Xuan, too, naturally did not wish his subordinates to become the new Heavenly Dao Saints.
Today, Ye Xuan summoned the Heavenly Court subordinates here to clarify this matter. After all, everyone knew the Hongmeng Purple Qi was in his possession. If he did not clarify things, the subordinates might ponder who would become a Saint.
Of course, as a qualified superior, Ye Xuan also understood very well why the Heavenly Court subordinates continued to follow him.
What is called loyalty is built on mutual benefit, for the people of the Heavenly Court believed Ye Xuan could lead them to stand at the pinnacle, so they remained ever loyal to him.
And Ye Xuan delivered, never letting them feel disappointed. Throughout the vast Primordial Land, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven indeed stood at the pinnacle.
"I won’t promise you anything, only that if I survive the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations to become the Saint of Saints, this Primordial Land will be yours to rule, and then I will establish eighteen Saint Positions." Ye Xuan said solemnly.
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerate."
The spirits of the Heavenly Court subordinates were lifted, their eyes rekindling with brilliance, and each person had an expression of excitement in their eyes as they took their leave from Ye Xuan.
"Beichen, Fatty Huang, you two stay." As the Heavenly Court subordinates dispersed, Ye Xuan called out to the two of them.
"Sir!"
Beichen and Fatty Huang bowed, and at this moment, only the three of them remained in the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
Gazing at Beichen and Fatty Huang, Ye Xuan’s eyes were slightly misty. These two had been by his side for no fewer than over three million years.
Over three million years was an extremely long time. The two were definitely among the most trusted of his confidants, and Ye Xuan had a special bond with them.
Though Beichen and Fatty Huang revered him as their lord, Ye Xuan actually regarded them as brothers. This affection had accumulated over those more than three million years.
"You two have followed me through endless time, now at the peak of Quasi-Saint, and I am not far from the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations. If I break the shackle to become the Saint of Saints, you two will come with me beyond this world. If I fall between Heaven and Earth, then you two will live under the Heavenly Dao, becoming good Heavenly Dao Saints." Ye Xuan whispered wearily, as if giving his last instructions.
"If you die, we die; if you live, we live." Beichen declared with determination.
"Yes, if you fall in the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, we will follow you to death." Fatty Huang playfully said, though his eyes were deeply resolute.
"Good."
Ye Xuan smiled and said, "It is not so easy to kill me, Ye Xuan. A thousand tribulations, countless hardships, and you have all accompanied me through it. These last two steps, I, Ye Xuan, will not fail."
"Haha."
Fatty Huang laughed heartily, "Sir, if you die, who will lead us to see the vast, majestic world beyond the Three Realms?"
"Sir, you once said that the so-called Three Realms is a prison, and this prison’s Dao Laws are incomplete, so no one can become a true Saint, and the so-called Heavenly Dao Saints are but false saints.
Beichen also wants very much to see the vast, majestic Chaos Great World outside, and if possible, compete with those chaotic beings in the Chaos Great World." Beichen said eagerly.
"The battle is endless, the Dao reaches the heavens, good, good, good." Ye Xuan praised aloud, for Beichen had spoken what was in his own heart.
"From today on, you two will temporarily manage all affairs of the Heavenly Court, while I focus on awaiting the arrival of the Heavenly Dao Eighth Tribulation and prepare for the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations." Ye Xuan said heavily.
"Rest assured, sir, as long as we are in the Heavenly Court, nothing will go wrong." Fatty Huang patted his chest in assurance.
Over three million years had passed, and the two were no longer the weaklings of the past. They had grown into peak Quasi-Saints, and even Donghuang Taiyi and others might not be able to defeat them.
"Good, the Heavenly Court is entrusted to you two." Ye Xuan laughed aloud, his presence vanishing from the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
...
Heaven and Earth were boundless, and no one knew if there was an end to Heaven and Earth, but it was said that the Heavenly Corner was the end of Heaven and Earth.
Heaven’s Edge, Corner of the Sea!
A slanted cliff thrusting into the sky, the sea roared and surged, a deep and tranquil figure stood at the Heaven’s Edge, looking ahead at the boundless Illusion Sea, with a black Big Halberd slanting beside him.
"You’ve finally come."
Luo Hou did not turn around, as if he had been standing there for a long, long time, just waiting for the arrival of someone.
"Of course, I must come."
Buzz!
Time and space twisted, ripples flowed, and Ye Xuan walked out from the void. He stood at the Heaven’s Edge, also gazing at the boundless Illusion Sea ahead, with not a single ripple in his aura.
