Chapter 423: Chapter 333 Light Destroying Heaven Venerable_1
The Divine Realm is controlled by the Divine Court, which has established one hundred and eight mansions, of which the Land Puppet Mansion under the control of the Blunt Empty Venerable is but one.
Learning that the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain was a force planted among the Human Tribe by demons, the Blunt Empty Venerable understood the severity of the situation and immediately took Li Cheng to rush towards the Divine Court.
The Ten Thousand Gods Mountain had risen for a billion years and had branches in every mansion; to uproot it entirely would require the action of all mansions.
Therefore, this matter had to be handled by the Divine Court.
"Uncle Master, I have no understanding of the Divine Court, is there anything I should be aware of?" Li Cheng asked.
The Blunt Empty Venerable shook his head, "The Divine Court is not like the Divine Dynasty, there are not so many rules, and the Divine Court usually does not interfere with the big or small affairs of the Divine Realm, leaving each Mansion Venerable to make their own decisions."
With this explanation, Li Cheng could guess that there must be many strong beings of Divine Emperor rank within the Divine Court. At this realm, they probably have no interest in power, and as long as the Divine Realm is not in great chaos, these entities would not intervene.
"The Divine Court is headed by the Sovereign of Origin, with nine great Heaven Venerables beneath him. Each Heaven Venerable is responsible for twelve mansions. The one responsible for our Land Puppet Mansion is the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, whom we will report to," said the Blunt Empty Venerable.
"The Sovereign of Origin?" Li Cheng looked towards the Blunt Empty Venerable. Could it be that this Sovereign of Origin was the strongest in the Divine Realm?
The Blunt Empty Venerable seemed to guess what Li Cheng was thinking and smiled, "Our Human Tribe, whether openly or secretly, needs supreme beings to sit in command. The Sovereign of Origin is the first and foremost openly."
Li Cheng understood and asked again, "Is the Sovereign of Origin an Ascender or a native cultivator?"
The Blunt Empty Venerable helplessly shook his head, "I have been in the Divine Realm for two hundred million years and have never seen the Sovereign of Origin. It is said that only the nine great Heaven Venerables know the whereabouts of the Sovereign of Origin."
So mysterious?
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised, the first and foremost strong being of the Human Tribe should have many legends in the Divine Realm, but why was this Sovereign of Origin so mysterious, that even the Blunt Empty Venerable knew nothing about him?
"What about the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable?" Li Cheng asked again.
"The Light Destroying Heaven Venerable comes from the Confucian Sect, a disciple of the Confucius Ancestor. He's gentle and amiable in personality and very easy to get along with," replied the Blunt Empty Venerable.
Mentioning the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, a look of reverence appears on the Blunt Empty Venerable's face.
Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit surprised; it seems that the Confucian Sect has produced quite a number of strong figures!
The Demon Suppression Emperor and the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable both are disciples of the Confucius Ancestor, he wondered if there were other formidable figures.
The nine great Heaven Venerables usually resided within their own respective twelve mansions, and the residence of the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was in the Heaven Puppet Mansion.
The Heaven Puppet Mansion was extremely far from the Land Puppet Mansion, but with the Transmission Array, it didn't take long for the two to arrive in the Mansion Venerable City of the Heaven Puppet Mansion.
Ninety thousand miles above the Mansion Venerable City floated a landmass of ten thousand miles in size, which was where the residence of the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable was located.
Standing in the Mansion Venerable City, the Blunt Empty Venerable activated the Mansion Venerable Order, and array patterns emerged, swiftly constructing a Transmission Array that corresponded with the floating landmass.
The next moment, the Blunt Empty Venerable led Li Cheng onto the Transmission Array, a beam of light emerged, and the two appeared concurrently on the edge of the floating landmass.
In their view was a mountain of forty-eight thousand zhang in height; they were now at the base of the mountain and saw a stele inscribed with Heaven Pavilion Mountain.
On this floating landmass, divine sense was completely banned, suggesting that the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable did not wish to be disturbed and had specially set up a formation to suppress divine sense.
"Within these ten thousand miles, the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable has arranged many wonders; apparently, this is part of his Divine World," said the Blunt Empty Venerable.
Li Cheng silently nodded; he was about to meet an awe-inspiring strong being of the Divine Emperor's Realm and his heart was filled with anticipation.
At that moment, the Blunt Empty Venerable bowed forward and said, "Land Puppet Mansion's Blunt Empty requests to see the Heaven Venerable!"
Beside them, a magnetic voice came from Heaven Pavilion Mountain, "Come up!"
Li Cheng and the Blunt Empty Venerable looked towards Heaven Pavilion Mountain together, not expecting the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable to be at the edge of this landmass.
The two hastened up Heaven Pavilion Mountain, and at the summit, they saw a Confucian-robed middle-aged man with his hands behind his back, facing away from them, watching the clouds and the interchanging light and shadow in the distance.
"Paying respects to the Heaven Venerable!" the Blunt Empty Venerable bowed deeply, and Li Cheng bowed as well.
The Light Destroying Heaven Venerable turned around, and they saw a man with slightly graying temples, looking around forty years of age, but with a handsome and flawless face, corners of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing an enigmatic smile.
After they finished their salutations and stood up on their own, Li Cheng realized that the middle-aged man before him was observing him up and down.
The Blunt Empty Venerable hurriedly introduced, "Reporting to the Heaven Venerable, this young friend's name is Li Cheng, and just like me, he comes from the Kunlun Immortal Realm. He discovered abnormalities with the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, so I brought him here to report!"
The Light Destroying Heaven Venerable seemed not to hear the Blunt Empty Venerable's words, continuing to observe Li Cheng.
Li Cheng remained calm, but felt an odd sensation inside, wondering why he felt as though he was already acquainted with the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable before.
Could it be a case of meeting too late?
The Blunt Empty Venerable was puzzled, the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable seemed a bit out of the ordinary!
As he wondered, the Light Destroying Heaven Venerable finally spoke to Li Cheng, "You haven't visited the Confucian Sect yet, have you?"
Li Cheng was startled, what did this imply?
But facing a Divine Emperor, Li Cheng did not dare to be negligent and bowed again, "Responding to the Heaven Venerable, I have not yet visited."
The Light Destroying Heaven Venerable fell silent, seemingly hesitant about something, but eventually, he simply nodded, "Regarding the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain matter, the Divine Court is already aware, but it is not yet time to take action."
The Blunt Empty Venerable expressed doubt, "The power of the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain has already become significant, and the later we act, the more disadvantageous it is for us."
After a pause, the Blunt Empty Venerable continued, "It is not that Blunt Empty doubts the decisions of the Divine Court, just that this latent threat, if not removed, makes it truly difficult to be at ease."
