Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1483: Chapter 1210: Frustration (Part 2)

“I didn’t expect this Star Lord, who rarely shows up, to be so formidable. Just after breaking through, he could fight Fellow Daoist Rongming to a standstill. If given more time, I’m afraid Rongming would be at a disadvantage…”

“Don’t forget, there’s another great deity deep within the Big Dipper.”

“Would Her Excellency even bother with such trivial matters?”

“Who can say for sure? After all, it concerns whether her offspring can obtain the Heavenly Emperor’s position. It’s a Heavenly Immortal Divine Position, very powerful and authoritative. Besides, do you think it’s such a troublesome matter for Her Excellency?”

“And the Star Gods who support Ziwei so much. If Ziwei isn’t the Heavenly Emperor, but instead one of us, would they still be so obedient?”

“Alas!”

The few Emperor lords watching on the side discussed with heavy expressions, feeling increasingly less confident the more they spoke.

However, they were unwilling to just hand over the Heavenly Emperor’s position to Ziwei, nor could they.

Because in their hearts, they still held onto a sliver of hope, no matter how faint, and were unwilling to give up.

In the deep, empty, lonely yet colorful starry sky, explosions boomed continuously, and powerful shockwaves destroyed all nearby meteorites, allowing everyone to witness an exciting and intense battle.

And unknowingly, a great battle was about to come to a swift conclusion!

“Cough, cough, I am outmatched in this battle, and will certainly seek advice again in the future!” Emperor Rongming said unwillingly.

Before the words even finished, he transformed into a stream of light, disappearing before everyone’s eyes.

The result was somewhat unexpected; the winner was not the veteran Earth Immortal, Rongming, but Gouchen, whose realm hadn’t even stabilized!

Emperors Mu Ju and the other two exchanged glances, feeling very troubled.

Among them, the strongest were Ziwei, Ao De, and Rongming, but now, two had been defeated and left, with one exhausted.

Clearly, it was the best opportunity to take advantage, yet Gouchen and the Star Gods obstructed them, claiming to want fairness?

It’s simply a joke, but the current situation couldn’t be ignored.

And once Ziwei recovered, they would completely lose their chance!

“Alas!”

The sigh came from someone unknown, but it perfectly matched the mental state of the three Emperors, leaving them truly in a dilemma.

Wanting to advance, they were blocked by Gouchen and the Star Gods; retreating equated to giving up the competition, which was truly disheartening.

But the three of them exchanged looks and eventually, none of them acted rashly to break the stalemate, waiting obediently for Ziwei to recover, then defeat them, seize the final victory, and become the Heavenly Court Master Heavenly Emperor!

“Truly unexpected, that one day we would become so ‘cautious and prudent’.” Thunder God Emperor Lei Jun laughed self-deprecatingly.

Despite knowing their chances of winning were low, they were never willing to simply concede.

Several hours later, Ziwei reappeared before everyone, full of vigor and showcasing immense charisma, giving off a highly confident aura.

“I wonder who among you three would like to come first?”

No one responded; they all wanted to be the last one, as the hope of victory would be slightly higher, after all, mana could be restored in a short time, but Divine Sense and energy could not.

“Since no one does, I’ll take the initiative.” Ziwei chose Thunder God as his opponent.

Both were Late Stage Earth Immortals, and the battle was quite fierce, but Ziwei ultimately emerged as the victor.

The remaining two Emperors were also defeated by him.

In other words, apart from Rongming, the other four Emperors all lost to Ziwei!

With immense strength and numerous divines as spectators throughout the process, Ziwei immediately garnered support from many other divine veins’ divines upon conclusion.

Everyone returned to the Heavenly Court, and as they entered, they saw a large cauldron, a Treasure Seal, and a Magic Sword floating mid-air.

These three Divine Artifacts symbolize the identity of the Heavenly Emperor, flying automatically into Ziwei’s embrace as if homing pigeons returning to their nest.

Boom——

The entire Heavenly Court erupted into a violent tremor at that moment, causing many divines who weren’t steady on their feet to tumble awkwardly to the ground.

But things quickly calmed down, and everyone felt that something might have changed in the Heavenly Court, yet couldn’t articulate it.

“The coronation ceremony is set for three months later; gather all the divines.”

Ziwei was already the Heavenly Emperor, but the proper processes still needed to occur.

This wasn’t merely a matter of appearance, but more about formally informing all gods and accepting their fealty.

“Everyone has worked hard during this period. The struggle has ended, and it’s time to earnestly fulfill our duties.”

Fortunately, the time was relatively short, avoiding any significant chaos; otherwise, Ziwei would have been left to clean up a big mess right after becoming the Heavenly Emperor.

The divines left one after another, leaving only him and Gouchen standing in place.

“Brother, you’ve become a Heavenly Immortal relying on external forces; it may significantly hinder future cultivation.” Gouchen said discontentedly, furrowing his brow.

“I know, but time is tight, and the power of the Heavenly Court is also needed.” Ziwei was fully aware of these drawbacks, yet still chose this course, naturally for a grander scheme.

“Just hope you won’t regret it later.” Gouchen shook his head slightly, saying no more before also disappearing.

In the empty hall, only Ziwei remained, standing in place, gazing at the newly appeared position at the top of the steps.

At that moment, the restrictions sealing the Heavenly Court were lifted as well.

Outside, Xiaoqing, Cang, and Li Mingyao, who had been waiting, saw the sudden change, momentarily stunned, filled with conjecture, but their actions were swift as they rushed towards the Sun and Moon Divine Palace.

They urgently wanted to know what had happened during the closure of the Heavenly Court.

If a fierce struggle would indeed break out in the Heavenly Court and implicate their family.

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, faced with these issues, calmly said: “It’s over.”

Then they began to narrate in detail what events and stories had unfolded.

Although the recount was flat and lacking in ups and downs, a sense of danger could be detected, especially when they stood up against an Earth Immortal on their own.

“If Jiu were here, he’d surely say you were being reckless.”

Xiaoqing joked, then immediately praised, “But you bet right because of it! That Emperor becoming the Heavenly Emperor will certainly elevate you.”

If it were him, he would make the same choice.

“Originally thought a storm would be stirred up, yet didn’t expect everything to be settled so quickly.” Cang sighed.

“Even if they couldn’t seize the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Court is still their foundation, how could they cause such major destruction?” Li Chengsheng said with a smile.

Xiaoqing nodded in agreement, then said puzzledly, “But the sudden move by the Wood God Emperor to flip the table was indeed unexpected; based on previous information, he wasn’t such a person.”

“There might be someone else behind this, pushing from the shadows?”

After speaking, he shook his head, for the matter had ended, and there was no need to delve into who the mastermind was.

Moreover, Ziwei becoming the Heavenly Emperor was also a great boon for their family.

“We’ll head back first, take care, and stay safe.”

Perhaps Rongming would harbor resentment for them foiling his plans and secretly retaliate against them.

“We’ll be careful, you too.”

Li Chengsheng said, “He probably wouldn’t dare to really act against us, but with our father and Lady Xuan having already broken through to Human Immortal, unless he risks universal condemnation, the family’s safety is still assured.”

Li Chengsheng stated calmly: “He might not dare to do anything to us truly, but to the family’s safety.”

“Jiu would probably say you are showing off.”

Xiaoqing teased with a quip, then promptly added with admiration, “If it were me, I’d make the same choice.”

“I thought it would stir up a storm, even if they couldn’t seize the Heavenly Emperor; the Heavenly Court is their foundation, how could it cause too much destruction?”

“Unless he dares to challenge the whole world, otherwise, the family’s safety is still secured.”

“Well, we should head back first. Take care of your health and stay safe.”
