Chapter 264: Xiang Xuanqing

The movements within the Zhou Tian Starry Sky were all under Xiang Xuanqing's observation.

"Dou Mu in the depths of the starry sky, Emperor Qinghua in the east, Emperor Changsheng in the south, the Lord of Six Waves in the west, Emperor Dongyuan in the central star domain..."

Xiang Xuanqing took out a jade scroll and began sketching and marking upon it.

"There are also some gods of unknown origin; these must be prioritized, such as Emperor Gouchen and Emperor Lei Zu Da Di."

"These fellows are quite good at hiding."

If he hadn't borrowed the conflict between them and Dou Mu to provoke the Lord of Six Waves and stir up this turmoil, these old foxes might not have surfaced at all.

But now that they have shown themselves, they must be properly arranged.

After writing the gods he was monitoring into the jade scroll, Xiang Xuanqing performed a careful deduction and casually disrupted the causal lines to prevent any leaks in his upcoming plans.

"Hmm, this should be about enough."

Finally, Xiang Xuanqing circled the true name of 【Dou Mu Yuan Jun】 with emphasis: "This one needs a separate line; it requires special attention."

Mother of All Stars?

A fine plan.

"It's a pity that Emperor Ziwei is just my generic alt account; it has some lethality, but not much."

Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "However, since they have come out so openly to stir up trouble, it would be remiss of me not to make some arrangements."

Putting away the jade scroll, he directly transferred the Emperor Ziwei alt account to Hearing Fu Xi Xi.

"Daoist Sui Xing, I have some matters to attend to; please help me hold down the fort in the Ziwei Enclosure for now."

"With the Heavenly Emperor's command, how would Sui Xing dare to refuse?" Hearing Fu Xi Xi took over the account and sat in command of the Ziwei Enclosure.

Xiang Xuanqing logged off directly.

Now, it was time to bring out the main avatar!

【Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao】.

The Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun sat upright amidst the Azure Heaven of Biluo.

One could see him draped in seventy-two colors, with a clear, round halo hanging behind his head, evolving the phenomena of chaos birth and destruction.

In his hand, he held a Li Zhu, emitting infinite light, containing everything within the universe.

On either side of this supreme deity were Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun.

Today, Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun was expounding the scriptures.

"Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the foundation of commanding all things. Therefore, without thunder, there is no way to govern the Three Realms."

"Thus, thunder is 'category'; it is what brings forth all categories and raises all groups. It is the mechanism of life and death for the Primordial Beginning..."

The True Script of the Great Dao emitted five-colored light, illuminating the vast space.

Within the 【Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao】, spiritual light soared into the sky. Countless positions transformed into Heavenly True Gods, High Sages, and Marvelous Practitioners... The immeasurable multitudes in the Dao Dao Zhen Jing all arrived riding the void.

In an instant, the Heaven of Initial Azure saw flying clouds condense and infinite rosy light gather.

The deities transformed from the various positions either rode carriages or sat in palanquins, with layers of canopies hanging down, gathering together in the highest Heavenly Realm.

Three Thousand Dream Realms, World of the Emperor's Dao.

Meng Meng Wu You, dressed in dark, wide-sleeved imperial robes, strolled through the Imperial Palace.

She held a scroll of scriptures in her left hand and a jade brush in her right, seemingly deep in thought. As she walked slowly, her soft silk socks stepped upon the gold-woven carpet, with crimson gold chains like spider lilies wrapped around her glowing ankles. The skin at the edge of her socks was like fresh snow and congealed fat, appearing and disappearing beneath the imperial robes.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked up slightly.

"Hmm? Is there movement again?"

Meng Wu You sensed the activity within the 【Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao】. Based on her understanding of Xiang Xuanqing, this was highly likely another attempt to stir up trouble.

"Let's go take a look!" Meng Wu You's lips curled into a smile, and her thoughts stirred slightly.

A point of true spirit flew into the sky, arriving at the 【Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao】.

Under the blessing of the Great Dao's might, Meng Meng Wu You transformed into a Demon King within the Dao Dao Zhen Jing.

"Meng Wu You, you arrived quite quickly."

A burst of hearty laughter rang in Meng Wu You's ears as Ming He descended into the 【Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao】, transforming into the Tai Xuan Demon King.

Both were dressed in furs with dark patterns, wearing crowns that spanned the heavens, their demonic aspects fully displayed.

Meng Meng Wu You nodded to Ming He, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

They gazed toward the highest point of the Dao Dao Zhen Jing, where countless positions had transformed into thousands of true sages and saints, guarding the three supreme deities.

Meng Wu You and Ming He flew up, their demonic might radiating outward, causing the various positions to yield the path one after another.

Until they reached the place closest to the three supreme deities, where they found the deity transformed from the 【Taiwei Heavenly Emperor】 position.

"Daoist, please move aside."

The deity transformed from the 【Taiwei Heavenly Emperor】 position sat in the front row; it was merely a position in the Dao Dao Zhen Jing, possessing neither consciousness nor autonomy.

Yet, at the request of the Great Demon King Meng Wu You and the Great Demon King Tai Xuan, it actually yielded its seat.

Also yielding their seats in the same manner was the 【Void Emperor Dao Lord】.

The two Demon Kings sat down accordingly.

At this moment, the scripture regarding thunder had already been chanted to the ninth volume.

"The Nine Heavens are the general administration of the thirty-six heavens; the 'Yingyuan' is the true body of the Jade Clarity True King, the Primordial Ancestral Tribulation One Qi divided into truth; thunder is the condensation of Yin and Yang two qi into thunder..."

Meng Meng Wu You listened quietly to the scripture, "Is this a position regarding thunder?"

"Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable?"

Ming He finished listening to this passage and blurted out the name of this position.

At this very moment, thunder roared within the Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao. One could see the Li Zhu in the hand of 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 emit brilliant light, as a wisp of Ancestral Qi drifted out, mixing with the sound of thunder to condense into a divine position tablet.

The divine tablet was surrounded by thirty-six layers of precious light, transforming into thirty-six colors of thunder.

Just as Ming He thought this tablet was about to transform into a deity, another wisp of Ancestral Qi drifted out from the Li Zhu.

Ming He was slightly stunned: "Two positions for the Dao of Thunder?"

Boom—!!

Thunder rolled, and countless rays of immortal light surged, converging like a sea, vast and boundless.

One could see that within the sea of thunder, the two divine position tablets occupied the positions of Yin and Yang, suppressing the void.

"This second position of the Thunder Dao is... Emperor Lei Zu Da Di?" Ming He looked at the sea of thunder with a strange expression. Wasn't Emperor Lei Zu Da Di some god within the Zhou Tian Starry Sky?

It had just surfaced and was already being targeted by Xiang Xuanqing?

Ming He immediately felt a sense of pity and mourned for it.

"Then who is this Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable?" Ming He looked left and right, failing to see any obvious causal lines from this position.

This meant that the other party was at least a Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun.

"That's right, if they weren't a Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun, they probably wouldn't have caught Xiang Xuanqing's eye." Ming He stopped looking since he couldn't understand it.

In any case, whoever Xiang Xuanqing targeted wouldn't be able to escape; he just had to wait and watch the show.

After these two positions successfully condensed, the scripture of the profound-of-the-profound sounded once more.

"Meeting the Primordial Ancestral Qi to divide truth, responding to the void of the marvelous Dao to open and transform..."

The scripture was chanted nine times, a wisp of Ancestral Qi divided out, condensing into a position.

Meng Wu You saw this position and chuckled: "Isn't this Emperor Changsheng?"

"It really is Emperor Changsheng!" Ming He was also amused.

Meng Wu You laughed and asked: "Last time I heard from Wang Chuan that the Spiritual Root Chat Group organized a grand rescue, and it seems the mastermind was Emperor Changsheng?"

"Who else could it be but him."

Ming He grinned: "Offended Xiang Xuanqing and still wants to run?"

Being able to escape from the hands of a Shore-level power yesterday didn't mean he could escape from the hands of 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 today.

Meng Wu You nodded: "Xiang Xuanqing is worthy of being the pillar of our Netherworld; he always manages to pull off maneuvers that make gods see darkness before their eyes."

If the Metal Qilin knew that he was not only targeted by Xiang Xuanqing, but that his avatar had been molded into a position, and that this position had become an incarnation of the Primordial Ancestral Qi...

He would probably really see darkness before his eyes.

Ming He stroked his chin and pondered: "Meng Wu You, you say if Emperor Changsheng is truly suppressed one day, even if he comes back later to use this account, wouldn't he have to call Xiang Xuanqing 'Dad'?" "If he is suppressed, Xiang Xuanqing will directly turn the fake into reality; whether he comes back or not, Emperor Changsheng will be the son!"

Meng Wu You smiled: "But I reckon that once he knows the truth, he will never use this account for all eternity."

Xiang Xuanqing was indeed very skilled at sealing other people's accounts.

In the time they were conversing, 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 had already chanted several passages of scripture.

"This saint is called the Taiyi Blessing God in Heaven, the Great Compassionate and Benevolent One in the world, and the Lion Bright King when subduing evil in outer paths..."

"You are my Qi, I am your root..."

Another position was molded, surrounded by thousands of true sages, wreathed in infinite auspicious light.

"This is Emperor Qinghua!"

Ming He looked ahead as the position representing 【Emperor Qinghua】 was molded.

As soon as this position appeared, 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 suddenly opened his eyes and beckoned with his hand.

"Come!"

This voice echoed through the infinite.

Within a grand universe among the Myriad Realms of the Heavens.

Daoist Taiyi, transformed into 【King Taishan】, sat in command of the Netherworld, holding authority over the underworld.

At this moment, a grand Dao sound arrived, and Daoist Taiyi was stunned: "Master is summoning me?"

He immediately patted his imperial crown, and a point of true spirit flew into the sky, following the Heavenly Venerable's call, directly into the 【Dao Dao Zhen Jing of the Great Dao】.

When Daoist Taiyi arrived in the Dao Dao Zhen Jing, thousands of true sages bowed simultaneously, and endless brilliant light surged, escorting him to the first layer of the World of Tai Shi Azure Heaven.

Xiang Xuanqing pointed lightly, and Daoist Taiyi's true spirit merged into the 【Emperor Qinghua】 position.

The position and the deity merged, and Daoist Taiyi followed the Great Dao, reshaping his divine form.

One could see him wearing a crown with dangling beads, dressed in rosy robes, with a marvelous Dao true body and purple-gold auspicious appearance, sitting upright on a nine-colored lotus throne, with a nine-headed azure lion spitting fire beneath him, surrounding the throne, with nine-colored divine light circling his head, radiating ten thousand zhang of light.

Xiang Xuanqing continued to mold new positions in the identity of 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】.

Meng Meng Wu You saw this and nodded lightly: "A good opportunity indeed."

Ming He chuckled: "The opportunity is good, but one must grasp it; Emperor Qinghua is also above the Zhou Tian now, and his influence is not small!"

"What is there to fear? The plot is precisely for Emperor Qinghua's aftermath."

Meng Meng Wu You said indifferently: "When the time comes, we will try our best to send Emperor Qinghua on his way, and then help Taiyi ascend to the top, won't that be enough?"

"Otherwise, why do you think Xiang Xuanqing summoned him up?"

Great Demon King Meng Wu You did not hide her motives.

The Demonic Dao was just this style—so righteous it became evil.

Xiang Xuanqing had many targets this time, and 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 successively manifested five strands of Ancestral Qi.

Among them, Ming He was also familiar with the positions transformed from two of the strands of Ancestral Qi.

One was the 【Lord of Six Waves】, and the other was 【Emperor Dongyuan】.

Seeing the Lord of Six Waves, Ming He nodded with satisfaction: "I said so, how could Xiang Xuanqing let him leave so easily."

Now that he saw his position, Ming He was instantly satisfied.

"Why are the other three positions empty?"

Meng Meng Wu You looked at the last three positions with a strange expression: "Is this leaving pits in advance, waiting for others to jump in?"

She seriously suspected that Xiang Xuanqing hadn't decided who to bury yet, so he was digging pits first.

The Netherworld Emperor, after all, playing something from the underworld was normal.

His style of doing things emphasized "peace in the grave."

Digging a pit for you first, deep enough so it won't be troublesome later.

Ming He looked at the row of nine neatly arranged divine tablets.

No matter how he looked at them, they didn't seem like positions; they looked more like spirit tablets.

It was just that the gods corresponding to these spirit tablets hadn't died yet.

After manifesting nine strands of Qi in succession, scripture still sounded in the void.

A strand of Ancestral Qi divided from the 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 position.

This wisp of Ancestral Qi was different from the previous nine strands; it was the Innate Yin Qi manifested by 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】.

This Qi fell into the Dao Dao Zhen Jing and also transformed into a position.

It was, Dou Mu Yuan Jun!

"So it was her!" Ming He's mouth stretched to his ears, laughing even more exaggeratedly than before.

"Mother of All Stars, manifested from the Yin Qi of Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun, fun, truly fun!"

"Hahahaha!!"

Xiang Xuanqing's countermeasure was truly beyond Ming He's expectations.

You calculate yours, I calculate mine; the main theme is to strike after the enemy!

After Ming He told Meng Wu You about the matters of the Zhou Tian Starry Sky, Meng Meng Wu You also laughed: "Who has such great ambition, actually claiming to be the Mother of All Stars."

Now that Xiang Xuanqing had brought out his main avatar, he had directly countered her; no matter how much Dou Mu developed in the future, after she capsized, she would likely be influenced by 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】.

What is this? This is the method of a Dao-infecting Heavenly Venerable!

Without sect or superior, yet uniquely able to be the beginning of all things, hence it is said: Yuan Shi!

Xiang Xuanqing molding the grand position of 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 was naturally not just to assemble the Three Pure Ones team.

What he wanted to plot was the Cause of All Fruits, the Ancestor of All Gods.

What is there to fear about cheating? Every Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun is a cheater.

What Xiang Xuanqing wanted to do was "check for cheats," and then "ban the account"!

Striking first indeed has advantages, but 【Floating Dawn Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 tells you that striking later is even more fatal.

"Turning fake into reality, each relying on their own methods; let's wait and see."

Outside.

Hearing Fu Xi Xi in the Ziwei Enclosure sneezed several times, "Who is this again?"

He just wanted to take a blind shot, but the result was a vast expanse of nothingness.

"Hmm?" Hearing Fu Xi Xi frowned.

Star God Sect.

Nv Wa's brows were locked in a frown: "This is?"

She contacted Hearing Fu Xi Xi directly.

The two compared notes and jointly performed a deduction.

With this calculation, they calculated it to Shen Ni.

"Eh? Shen Ni wants to usurp the position of the Beast Emperor? He is actually this brave!"

They calculated the result, but the brother and sister were still somewhat puzzled.

They instinctively felt something was wrong.

Eastern Star Realm, Emperor Dong Hua was completely ignorant.

But one god had a slight perception—Hong Jun.

"The Innate Three Clans have made a move?"

The calculation was correct.

But it also seemed wrong.

"Could it be that Luo Hou is going to stir up trouble again?"
