10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Novel - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Intimidating the Immortals

‘If you don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with you. If you provoke me, then I will make heaven and earth despise you!’

“In the Great Chiliocosm, there is a limit to the number of Saint Lords. Once the number is filled, it will be almost impossible for others to try sanctifying the way of Dao. However, there is always a chance in the universe. Such a chance is to gain completely and utmost control of the universe that he is in. To be able to reach the point where your words represent the worlds of the Heavens, where your words reflect the law itself and to have total dominance over the world with it.” Jiang Ming paced in the hall, preaching as though no one else was around.

The immortals in the Heaven Court who were still angry and restless, when they heard him mention about the method of sanctifying the way of Dao, their eyes suddenly brightened, listening carefully and quietly.

Even Dongfang Changqing was not exempted from doing so. And the Heavenly Emperor pricked up his ears.

Alas, the way of sanctioning the Dao! This was the ultimate pursuit of a cultivator.

“As the Heavenly Emperor, you are already at the very limit under the Saint Realm and it is reasonable that you would want to sanctify the way of Dao. Cang Xuan, in the ancient times, before the Saint Lords appeared, you have also comprehended the secrets of heaven. You knew that by ruling all races and dominating the world, you would be able to sanctify the way of Dao. Am I right?” Jiang Ming looked at the Heavenly Emperor.

In the hall, breathings were left in stagnation.

To think that there was such a secret in the distant ancient times that by dominating the universe would lead to the sanctification of Dao, and the role of the Heaven Court in unifying heaven and earth, they had a somewhat strange feeling when they thought of the return of the seven Saint Lords.

“That’s correct!” Cang Xuan nodded, “I didn’t expect you to know of such a hidden secret.”

“What kind of secret is this? It’s just common sense. After knowing some of the details about you, plus the various past events, it’s not difficult to confirm about it through some deduction.” Jiang Ming said calmly.

…

Cang Xuan’s pupils shrank slightly.

‘Common sense? Not difficult to confirm about it? To hell with your common sense! To hell with it not being difficult to confirm about it! For matters of the ancient times which were especially related to the secrets of the past, only the seven Saints knew about it apart from him. Even if there were one or two other people who knew of such details, they would definitely not tell others. Such is a real secret. How did he know? Deduction? Went back to the past?’

Cang Xuan had become restless as he thought. The guy before him seemed to be of some background!

“He fought for the Saint Lord’s position back then, but unfortunately ended up with failure. Now that he’s sitting on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, how would he not eye on the position?” Jiang Ming then continued, “When the seven Saint Lords were all present, the Heavenly Emperor knew that he was almost insignificant in their presence. However, six of them went on into the Chaos, leaving only one of the Saint Lords to stay guard. With this Saint Lord having retreated into seclusion to comprehend the way of Dao all year round, it gave him the opportunity.”

“When the opportunity comes, it is natural for him to start planning and put his plans to work!”

“However, there are three major obstacles that he had to face if he were to truly reach the point where the Heavenly Emperor’s decree is unimpeded, where his words would become the law and that he could give orders to all sentient beings in the world!”

“Number one, the Tai Xuan Gate. Because it is the inheritance of the Saint Lord, it has a special status. Hence, it has never paid much attention to the Emperor’s decree.”

“Number two, the Sacred Sect that is based on the gods of nature and innate Saint Spirits. They see themselves as noble in identity and bloodline, with higher status compared to others. After all, the seven Saint Lords are also strictly speaking, considered Saint Spirits as well. Naturally, they dislike the Heaven Court to loom above their heads and even oppose them very much. ”

“Number three would be the God Clan. This is a powerful race that has been inherited from ancient times. It has a peerless bloodline coupled with long-standing inheritance consisting of countless special abilities and secrets. They have many strong experts and that they were also self-contained, hence, they tend to be an independent force from the Heaven Court!”

“If the Heavenly Emperor wants to truly and completely take control of the universe, he would naturally want to eradicate or subjugate these three forces!”

“Aiming for the position as a Saint Lord, he had long put his plans into action!”

“An example would be Hu Sanpao. It might seem that he is a spy of the God Clan in the Heaven Court. But, he has in fact already been subdued by the Heavenly Emperor. And Bai Liu is the same too.”

“The two of them stood up just to find out about my background and at the same time, lead me towards conflicts against the God Clan and the Sacred Sect.”

“Am I right, Heavenly Emperor?”

Jiang Ming gave him a squinted smile.

Cang Xuan’s expression did not change the slightest and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. However, he was greatly shocked in his heart.

‘God damn it! Can this kid read my mind? How does he even know of my plans? There should be no one that knows of this except myself! Could it be that he really has a terrifying deduction ability? That’s not right. I’ve cut off the potential for prophecy and suppressed the karma effect with my status as the Heavenly Emperor. Even if the Saint Lord had deliberately deducted these, he wouldn’t have found out. Yet, how does he know all these? I must not admit to these! Never! Otherwise, the Sacred Sect and God Clan will know that I wanted to deal with them. They will definitely be united against me. Although I am not afraid, it will definitely be troublesome to deal with.’

As thoughts ran through Cang Xuan’s mind, he shook his head as though he looked rather helpless and said, “Fellow Taoist, you are after all, coming from the foreign realm and don’t know the details of the God Clan and the Sacred Sect. All their experts are tenacious, strong-willed, and adhere to their beliefs. I’m afraid that it’s difficult for even the Saint Lords to change them, let alone myself? This is an accepted fact!”

“Therefore, if you were to say something different, it would’ve been really easy for people to believe in you. But to say that I control them? Haha!”

“As for the position as a Saint Lord? I won’t deny that I hope to reach that point in life.”

“As for decrees being unimpeded, where words become the laws and the unification of all sentient beings? Isn’t that the present case of the Heaven Court? Whether it is Tai Xuan Gate, the Sacred Sect or the God Clan, they are all under the ruling of the Heaven Court already!”

“To sanctify the way of Dao by unifying the universe? It might have been possible a long time ago. But now, such a path is dead!”

“Alas, the Saint Dao can possibly be achieved only by comprehending the mind of heaven, and understanding the way of heaven, to break the world’s imprisonment and restrictions and cut off the self-shackles of karma. ”

“The Saint Dao that I am planning is to attribute great power of the heavens to myself so that the pinnacle of power can break the shackles, shatter the confinements and allow me to ascend to the position of Saint. This is the true path of Saint Dao. Sirs, although this path of the Saint Dao is only a general concept, such information cannot be spread out! ”

The Heavenly Emperor explained the whole thing in a very peaceful manner, but his tone became a little harsh when it came to that last sentence.

“We will remember His Majesty’s teachings!” The officials bowed and saluted in respect.

Although they were shocked by Jiang Ming’s remarks prior to this, the Heavenly Emperor’s explanation which included the natural characteristics of the God Clan and Sacred Sect had turned them away from Jiang Ming.

After all, they had trusted the Heavenly Emperor, their master, the ruler of the entire world for hundreds of millions of years.

Moreover, the critical point was that if Hu Sanpao had really submitted to Cang Xuan, why didn’t he rescue him?

Hu Sanpao was an officer of the Heaven Court after all! As a Great Overarching expert, he was much more valuable being alive than dead.

Of course, another reason was because of Jiang Ming’s identity that he might be coming from forreign region. That made him their foreign enemy, who couldn’t be trusted easily.

*Clap clap…*

Jiang Ming applauded as his face was filled with admiration, “I have met another Heavenly Emperor of a Great Chiliocosm. To be honest, his plan is far better than yours.”

“In order to become the true master of the universe! He took the initiative to let the Heaven Court collapse and fall by exposing the great array formation that could’ve trapped the Saint Lords! He even took the initiative to let all the major legions who were loyal to him to die! He himself was even killed!”

When he thought of Heavenly Emperor Tai Yuan, Jiang Ming really admired him.
