Chapter 87: Western Heaven Divine Court

Big brother, our Hall of Lecturing on the Dao is ready!

Smiling, Zhu Qingyun put away the Purple Cloud Palace and said to the yin and yang beside him.

As for the Pangu Banner...

Kunpeng, I give you this Pangu Banner; it matches perfectly with Taiyi's Chaos Bell and Di Jun's Taiji Diagram!

Since his birth, Kunpeng has always been within Zhu Qingyun's Literary Dao Grand World.

Although we now possess a top-grade merit spirit treasure, the Demonic Master Palace, our offensive means are still lacking.

Thank you, Master!

Kunpeng took the Pangu Banner and casually tossed it into his internal space.

As an Innate Wind Spirit body, Kunpeng is one of the Four Opening Spirits, on par with the chiefs of the three innate tribes.

His physical form is likewise immensely strong; though he mainly cultivates the Literary Dao, Kunpeng also practices the Martial Dao as a side path, and even without deep devotion to it, he has reached the mid-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal realm!

My disciples' cultivation is advancing ever faster; I too must soon break through to Mixed Yuan Grand Luo Golden Immortal!

Zhu Qingyun thought to himself.

With his heaven-defying comprehension, Zhu Qingyun could actually, if he devoted himself to mastering the laws of formation, creation, yin and yang, and other Great Daos, achieve perfection and step into the Mixed Yuan Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

But if he wishes to fulfill his vision of incorporating the primordial heavens and earth into his myriad-worlds system, he must break through to Mixed Yuan Grand Luo Golden Immortal via the three Dao of Heavenly Patterns, Earthly Martial, and Human Sovereign.

This is the foundation of his Great Dao, the source of all his paths!

But... it's coming soon!

As Zhu Qingyun's cultivation grows ever deeper, his understanding of many other Great Daos increases, and by analogy, his Heavenly Patterns, Earthly Martial, and Human Sovereign Dao are constantly improving.

Hmm? But that's also interesting!

Through his mental link with Yun Zhongjun, Zhu Qingyun heard the discussion of the Mystic Sect immortals.

At this moment, the Eastern King, whose aura is pure yang, wore a worried face, gazing hopefully at the Three Pure Ones—specifically, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Supreme.

Senior brother, our Mystic Sect started too late, and our strength lags far behind those villains of the Myriad Heavens Islands; do you have any way to drive that Di Jun from his position as lord of the Heavenly Realm?

As another bearer of the imperial destiny, the Eastern King desires to seize the Myriad Heavens Islands' power more than anyone else in the Mystic Sect.

Big brother, why not employ that method?

This was Yuanshi Tianzun's second time proposing this suggestion.

However, unlike the first time, the Supreme immediately refused.

Second brother, no! That is our trump card!

The Supreme did not speak it aloud; as the Three Pure Ones share the same origin, he vibrated the primordial clear qi, and his voice echoed in Yuanshi's heart.

Even if we seize the Heavenly Court, we may not be able to hold it—do you not know how great the harm that trump card would cause us?

Although the Supreme's decisive refusal annoyed Yuanshi a little, his expression remained unchanged.

The Three Pure Ones are bound by shared qi; though Yuanshi did not understand why his elder brother wanted to send a voice transmission through their origin, he was not so foolish as to shout it out, instead replying in his heart.

Big brother, this is a task assigned by Teacher Hongjun! If we can accomplish it...

Foolish!

Yuanshi had not finished speaking when the Supreme rebuked him.

Is Teacher Hongjun truly so selfless? Moreover, the teacher is no match for the Myriad Heavens Islands' forces; if we truly seize the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Fate arrives personally, will we be able to hold it, or will Teacher Hongjun dare descend to the immortal realm to help us defend?

As the first to awaken among the Three Pure Ones, the Supreme, upon birth, absorbed the origins of his two brothers and thus discovered that the origins of all three brothers were deficient.

After all, as his cultivation grew, he had already faintly sensed traces of origin energy on Hongjun, making it obvious how that origin had been lost.

Furthermore, since both Yuanshi and Ao Tian are mid-stage Half-Saints, the vast gap between them shows that Hongjun must be concealing something.

He believed that, having originated from the same source, Yuanshi and Passing Heaven should also notice this. Indeed, as soon as the Supreme finished speaking, before Yuanshi could reply, Passing Heaven's voice sounded.

Yes, second brother, the eldest brother is right!

There was still something Passing Heaven did not say aloud, because he understood his second brother.

If only the three brothers had agreed back then to follow the Heavenly Fate Daoist.

Actually, the origins could now be replenished, and regardless of cultivation or combat power, they would even surpass the present! Yuanshi Tianzun fell silent for a moment, understanding his brothers' meaning.

For the sake of the Eastern King and Hongjun, damaging the Three Pure Ones' own trump card is not worth it.

At least as long as Hongjun retains some reserve for them.

Three senior brothers, I do not know the cost of that method; if I can take the Heavenly Emperor's throne, I will certainly compensate!

The Eastern King, naturally unaware of the three brothers' mental transmission, grew anxious as he received no reply.

While promising the Eastern King, he also gave a glance to the Queen Mother of the West.

One formed from pure yang qi, the other from pure yin qi; both disciples of Hongjun, they respectively hold the imperial destiny and the heavenly consort destiny.

In the Eastern King's view, the two are naturally destined partners and ought to be on the same front.

Yet the Queen Mother of the West pretended not to notice the Eastern King's hint, calmly gazing at the scenery of the Heavenly Realm through the Southern Heaven Gate.

I wonder how this Heavenly Realm compares to the Emperor's Garden?

Like the Queen Mother of the West and the mythical beast Luwu, she likewise knows the legend of the Emperor's Garden in West Kunlun.

She indeed bears the heavenly consort destiny, but she is not the descendant of that Heavenly Emperor; rather, she is descended from the Emperor of West Kunlun! 'I have a plan!'

Among the many close disciples, Yun Zhongjun, who had always been unremarkable, suddenly spoke up.

Our teacher sent us down to the immortal realm to help Senior Brother Eastern King fulfill his imperial destiny.

Yun Zhongjun spoke while clasping his hands toward the immortal realm as a sign of respect.

Even if we allied with the demon realm, our current situation makes it impossible to drive the Myriad Heavens Islands' forces out of the Heavenly Realm.

If so, why not set up a new stove?

Mount Buzhou is the transformation of the primordial god's spine; nominally said to lie at the center of heaven and earth, it is actually the center of the east!

That Heavenly Realm is the heaven of the east!

"Could the West have a heaven?"

Yun Zhongjun posed the question, directing his gaze toward Yuanshi Tianzun and the Supreme.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes lit up.

"I understand!"

"The heaven of the East lies atop Mount Buzhou; the heaven of the West ought to be on Mount Sumeru!"

Mount Sumeru is the highest mountain in the West, the sole ancestral vein; if it contains a world, it can only be located on Mount Sumeru!

"In the Primordial Era, East and West are divided; thus the heavenly realm should have one each. We, going west, must seek that western heavenly world to aid Dong Wanggong's junior disciple in establishing the Divine Court!"

Hongjun, being in the Immortal Realm, naturally also witnessed this scene.

The West has no great world like the Thirty-Three Heavens; he is quite certain of that.

When Yun Zhongjun said the West might also have a heaven, he himself wanted to rebuke.

But upon further thought, the Primordial Heaven and Earth are Pangu's; perhaps I cannot discover it because I do not belong to Pangu's orthodox lineage? Moreover, I am currently no match for the Four Saints of the Myriad Heavens Islands, and disciples of the Profound Gate could not possibly seize the heavenly realm from Di Jun's hands.
