Chapter 2767

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, the Dao-Destroying Ancient Emperor, the Temporal Ancient Emperor, and others arrived late.

The main force of the Celestial Court had already fled through the teleportation array, and the Sword Emperors achieved no effective results.

The Sword Emperors' expressions were somewhat grim.

For the Dharma Emperors, war is a risky yet valuable endeavor—victors can seize the enemy's spoils and territory, along with cultivation techniques and so on.

But for the Sword Emperors, battle itself is the meaning, the opportunity.

This time, the Sword Emperors went out relying on strength to bully the weak, fighting above their level—basically gaining nothing, missing their chance.

"We shouldn't have divided our forces."

"We should have pushed forward in one wave!"

"As long as we crush the main force of the Lucky Dynasty, what's there to fear about not winning? All the strategists in the Military Council should be sentenced to death!"

The Slaughter Ancient Emperor said coldly.

The Sun Ancient Emperor and others showed no interest in the Sword Emperors' words, continuing to study the corpses of three Celestial Court Great Emperors during the intervals when the army kept destroying the foundations of the Azure Dragon Ancient Realm's great formation. One by one, vast Daoist research laboratories began operating, equipped with their own scientific apparatus—so-called integrated farming and warfare, research and combat as one.

The Dao-Destroying Ancient Emperor, the Temporal Ancient Emperor, and others cursed for a while, then joined in as well, using the three Great Emperor corpses to produce related papers, harvesting research merits.

This is equivalent to combat merits—no Ancient Emperor remains indifferent.

Everyone knows that once victorious over the Fourth Golden Great Era Dynasty's Celestial Court, the long-planned Heavenly Official Enfeoffment system devised by the various emperors will surely succeed—and will even surpass the original plan, with the longevity and strength bonuses from the Heavenly Official exceeding past expectations.

The achievements of the Dynasty's Celestial Court in the Heavenly Official Enfeoffment system far exceed those of any single Golden Great Era.

Having seized the Fifth Golden Great Era's defiance of heavenly principles and the Fourth Golden Great Era's Dynasty system, the Daoist foundation of the Seventh Golden Great Era will surge.

The Heavenly Official Enfeoffment system is about to be born.

This raises a question: the Heavenly Official positions within the system will inevitably have ranks—how should they be distributed?

Naturally, by merit!

This is why the various forbidden-zone Ancient Emperors are now so eager.

Clang!

Someone drew their sword.

"Wait!"

"Do not destroy the body of Extreme Noon!"

The Dao-Destroying Ancient Emperor and others suddenly stopped the Dharma Emperors from dissecting the celestial body of the Northern Pole True Martial Great Emperor.

:

"This is against regulation."

"This is our spoil of war."

"You can exchange merits for it, and we can only guarantee you'll receive the complete body in the end—how you study it is none of our concern."

The Sun Ancient Emperor said without looking up.

"Very well."

The Dao-Destroying Ancient Emperor and others were somewhat angry, but suppressed it.

The Sword Emperors then began discussing in earnest—you contribute some merit, I contribute some merit, and finally we form a large sum to exchange for the complete body of the Northern Pole True Martial Great Emperor and his natal flying sword; once research concludes, it will belong to them.

"Where is Extreme Noon's homeland?"

"After searching the souls of many Dynasty cultivators, according to legend, he seems to have been born in a Minor Thousand World, or perhaps in a Great Thousand World—he has lain dormant for at least hundreds of billions of years, the strongest of his era, who even established a sword cultivator age. Time is too ancient; it's hard to find..."

The Slaughter Ancient Emperor, the Temporal Ancient Emperor, and others whispered among the Sword Emperors.

Out of simple sword cultivator affection, they wished to bury the Northern Pole True Martial Great Emperor in his homeland, but every slumbering powerhouse's history is buried in the long river of time—aside from himself, almost no one knows the history of these ancient slumbering powerhouses.

"The Supreme Great Sun surely knows."

"Let's ask him after the war."

The Temporal Ancient Emperor stated firmly.

"Exactly."

"He should agree..."

The surrounding Sword Emperors nodded in unison.

After thoroughly destroying the Azure Dragon Ancient Realm and completing the repairs, the Seventh Golden Great Era expedition fleet continued its departure, with a very clear objective.

Namely, to directly strike the Purple Wei Ancient Realm and complete a total war of annihilation!

……

Purple Wei Ancient Realm, Celestial Court.

The Great Emperor of Central Purple Wei, the Great Emperor of the Hooked Chen Upper Palace, and six other Great Emperors sat enthroned in the Celestial Court's core, their gazes icy, calmly observing an Ancient Emperor and three Feathered Ascension Realm cultivators—every strand of power in the Primordial Ancestor Dragon Seal Immortal Great Array converged here, as they forcibly searched souls.

These captured cultivators of the Seventh Golden Great Era were naturally taken by force during prior battles, at a cost to the Dynasty.

The sizzling sound of soul-searching made one's flesh creep, like the sound of souls melting bit by bit.

As the soul-searching continued, penetrating the Seventh Golden Great Era's soul barrier, one scene after another, one memory after another, surfaced in the Celestial Court, known to the many Great Emperors.

:

Even upon that eternal, immortal throne, a manifestation of the Jade Emperor slowly emerged.

"Your Majesty."

The Great Emperor of Central Purple Wei and the other five bowed slightly in salute.

"The war situation is urgent."

"You ministers need not stand on ceremony."

The Jade Emperor's manifestation waved a hand, smiling faintly: "Just watch how the Seventh Golden Great Era fares."

"I, having already sought talent to the utmost, established imperial examinations, constantly excavating and nurturing virtuous talents of Shen Zhou, valuing agriculture and sericulture, encouraging all industries, never daring to relax for a single day—those with great talent, I seek as if thirsty.

Though the Extreme Noon Daoist friend is so arrogant, constantly thinking of killing me and taking my place, I have never wished to make things difficult for him, nor have I ever truly been angry..."

"I ask myself, I have already done my utmost."

"Now, a master of the Golden Great Age has actually appeared, and he is still the arrogant, bloodthirsty, unrefined sword cultivator who knows nothing of governance, yet he has cultivated so many strong ones, several times more than my celestial court—all of this is truly astonishing; I do not know how it was achieved..."

"How many outstanding people there are in the world!"

The Jade Emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty is already the Sage Sovereign!"

The Central Heaven Purple Emperor and others spoke again.

These words truly pierced their hearts; the Jade Emperor's actions they have witnessed firsthand, personally participated in—even if he is a hypocrite, for billions of years he has remained unchanged, and that too makes him a true gentleman of the mortal realm, a sage and virtuous emperor, deserving to become the sovereign of immortals.

"Such words of viewing the sky from a well need not be spoken again."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand.

The strongest beings in the celestial court silently watched the memories emerging from the soul-search.

They saw the Seventh Golden Great Age's immortal Dao civilization at its peak of prosperity and brilliance, its immense productivity, the profound depth of heavenly and earthly Dao essence, constantly producing vast quantities of heavenly treasures and earthly riches; among peers, in terms of wealth and abundance, it is actually several times more than cultivators of the same dynasty and rank.

They saw the Seventh Golden Great Age refer to its own era as the false immortal realm, closer to the true immortal realm than the Fourth Golden Great Age.

They saw the Seventh Golden Great Age's highly developed education and immortal arts system.

They saw the history of the Seventh Golden Great Age: during the process by which Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang unified the boundless starry sky, he merely killed several ancient emperors, then established the Ancient Emperor Protection Law—anyone, in any war, as long as they do not violate the Tai Shang Da Ri Law, may not kill an ancient emperor; most of the peerless heavenly talents who contended and slaughtered with Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang in that era survived...

"Most survived..."

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor and the six great emperors' gazes all tightened.

：

At this moment, they recalled the history of the Fourth Golden Great Age: the heavenly talents of all ages gathered in the Golden Great Age, overturning heaven and earth, filling the starry sea with blood, countless heavenly talents and heroes perished, and a peerless outstanding figure rose from among them, establishing the Jade Emperor's exalted position, the supreme achievement in the long river of eternity.
