However, compared to before.
After these divine beings reshaped their divine bodies, their cultivation levels were weakened. The Heavenly Official Emperor, who originally had a mid Quasi-Saint level, now only had an early Quasi-Saint realm. The Earth Official Emperor was the same, and the Human Official Emperor had already fallen from the Quasi-Saint realm to only have a half-step Quasi-Saint strength.
Even the Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable Wen Zhong at this moment only exuded the aura of just entering the Quasi-Saint level.
Clearly.
After reshaping their divine bodies, they all suffered damage.
All the divine beings who participated in this expedition against Qin, whose true spirits were entrusted to the Investiture of the Gods, had their cultivation greatly damaged.
Of course.
Only the Golden Spirit Saint Mother was an exception.
"We, the ministers, pay respects to the Heavenly Emperor."
"We, the ministers, pay respects to the Queen Mother."
"Pay respects to the various Great Emperors."
When all the divine beings were present, they all bowed towards Hao Tian, the Queen Mother, and the four Great Emperors.
"You may dispense with formalities."
Hao Tian waved his hand.
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor."
Many immortals and gods shouted in unison.
"Today’s summon."
"This Emperor is here for one matter only."
Hao Tian scanned the room, speaking with imposing authority.
The four Great Emperors focused their gaze on Hao Tian, their expressions rather complicated.
Now that Hao Tian had obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, although they were all part of the Six Emperors of the Heavenly Court, Hao Tian was destined to completely control the Heavenly Court in the future.
They would also entirely become subordinates.
"May I ask what the purpose is, Your Majesty?"
"Please instruct, Your Majesty. We ministers are willing to pledge our lives in service."
Li Jing stepped forward, displaying a look of complete loyalty.
Seeing Li Jing.
Many immortals and gods in the hall immediately glared at him angrily.
During the expedition against Qin, when facing the fierce battle against Qin’s strong warriors, only Li Jing fled the fastest. Almost all the immortals and gods perished, and only Li Jing returned unharmed. Despite only having the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal, he survived such a battle, making them furious.
It could be said.
Li Jing was truly the number one at escaping in the Heavenly Court.
Hao Tian glanced at Li Jing but did not say more.
With a wave of his hand.
The Haotian Mirror appeared.
Directly showing the scenes on the Eastern Continent above.
Countless black-armored troops were charging and exterminating the Immortal Sects on the Divine Continent, leaving no immortal cultivators.
Moreover, columns of troops were still attacking mortal kingdoms on the Divine Continent, taking complete control wherever their forces reached.
Seeing this scene.
Many immortals and gods in the hall couldn’t help but frown deeply.
"Your Majesty."
"The Qin Kingdom has completely grown into a formidable force."
"They have already transcended the mortal realm."
"Now it seems, almost half of the land and void of the Eastern Continent has fallen under their control."
"This cannot continue." The Heavenly Official Emperor immediately spoke.
Upon hearing this!
Many immortals and gods also nodded in agreement.
The Heavenly Court originally fully controlled the Eastern Continent. As divine beings, they needed the power of faith from mortals—the stronger the faith, the stronger their divine power. As immortals and gods, they needed the Qi Fortune from mortals.
In other words.
The Human Race, whom they regarded as mere pawns, was what they needed.
"This Emperor has obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
Hao Tian suddenly spoke, his expression revealing a solemn look.
As soon as these words fell.
All the immortals and gods in the Palace of the Polestar looked at Hao Tian in astonishment, extremely surprised.
When the Hongmeng Purple Qi appeared, they naturally saw the purple energy reaching up to the sky.
Later, when great divine power practitioners battled, they also felt it, but that level of power was far beyond their ability to contend with.
But now that Hao Tian had spoken, having obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
This meant that in the future, Hao Tian would achieve the Saint Realm.
The Heavenly Court would truly rule the heavens and earth.
Quickly.
Many immortals and gods, in shock, returned to their senses and bowed to Hao Tian in congratulation: "We ministers congratulate Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor."
"By a fortuitous chance, with the assistance of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, this Emperor obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
"Therefore."
"This Emperor must not disappoint Lord Lao Zi’s expectations."
"I vow to understand the Hongmeng Purple Qi, prove the Dao, and become a Saint."
"So next, this Emperor will go into retreat cultivation to aspire to the Saint Realm."
Hao Tian surveyed the room, speaking with authority.
Clearly.
By bringing up the name of the Supreme, Hao Tian aimed to intimidate Lingxiao and make everyone believe that the Supreme completely supported him already.
Upon seeing this, the many Great Emperors were actually quite anxious inside because the Supreme had previously intervened outside the South Heavenly Gate, allowing Hao Tian to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
This made them intensely apprehensive.
But they had no means to change anything.
"Your Majesty."
"If you retreat for cultivation, what will happen to the Eastern Continent?" Emperor Changsheng frowned and immediately asked.
"This matter will be entirely entrusted to my Imperial Brother."
"The Qin Kingdom, led by that demon, is no longer a mere mortal kingdom, and it possesses many Supreme Treasures. It is incredibly difficult to destroy them now. What needs to be done is to block their continued expansion in the Eastern Continent; we cannot let them seize more."
"Beyond this."
"The Heavenly Court must focus on defense, and everything will be resolved once I emerge from my retreat," Hao Tian said in a deep voice.
"You want me to resolve it?" Emperor Changsheng frowned, looking very surprised.
"The Eastern Continent is the foundation of the Taoist Sect; does my Imperial Brother not wish to act?" Hao Tian’s cold and sharp gaze landed on Emperor Changsheng.
Feeling the oppressive gaze, Emperor Changsheng’s expression changed. Ultimately, he nodded: "As it is entrusted by the Heavenly Emperor, I will certainly do my utmost to resist and prevent the Qin Kingdom from further expansion."
Upon hearing this response.
Hao Tian showed a satisfied expression.
"Thus, the Qin Kingdom will temporarily be left for my Imperial Brother."
"Now, as I am about to retreat, there is no need to confront the Qin Kingdom head-on, but we also cannot let them seize more territory in the Eastern Continent."
"Queen Mother."
"You must also exert some effort to guard against the Qin Kingdom," Hao Tian said in a deep voice.
"I understand." The Turquoise Pool nodded.
"I am about to retreat."
"If there are matters, you may consult with the Queen Mother."
"Aside from this, I will leave my Good Corpse to guard Lingxiao." Hao Tian spoke in a deep voice, then rose and directly divided his Good Corpse, which bore an identical appearance to Hao Tian, and seated it upon the throne.
Then Hao Tian turned, disappearing from the Palace of the Polestar.
"Farewell, Heavenly Emperor."
All Immortals and Gods in the Palace of the Polestar shouted in unison.
Once Hao Tian had left.
"Emperor Changsheng."
"This time, the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and countless strong ones has delayed a lot of time."
"We cannot allow the Qin Kingdom to expand further."
"We must muster troops swiftly to intimidate the Qin Kingdom," the Queen Mother said, looking at Emperor Changsheng.
"Hmm."
Emperor Changsheng nodded.
At this point, he had no choice but to agree.
After all, the Eastern Continent also concerned his interests.
"All gods, heed the command."
"Follow this Palace to the Eastern Continent to intimidate the Qin Kingdom," the Queen Mother immediately commanded.
"We obey the Lady’s decree."
Many Immortals and Gods said in unison.
Before long.
The various departments of the Heavenly Court moved.
Once again, they mustered a million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the lowest tier of the Immortals and Gods within the Heavenly Court, are innumerable. Even if a million fell in the Eastern Continent, the Heavenly Court still possesses many.
The void of the Eastern Continent.
The Qin is still wildly expanding, slaughtering those so-called Immortal Sects.
Anyone obstructing the Qin Soldiers’ advance.
Kill them all.
Above the void.
A million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals reappeared.
The Queen Mother, wearing a phoenix crown, stood with the Four Imperial behind her.
"People of the Qin Kingdom."
"Stop immediately."
The Queen Mother commanded coldly.
A soaring majesty erupted in the void.
Where Wucheng is located.
Ying Zheng heard the voice and sneered coldly.
With a step forward.
In the blink of an eye.
He arrived in the void where the Queen Mother was.
Facing a million Heavenly Soldiers, and the Four Imperial.
As Ying Zheng arrived, numerous civil and military officials from the Qin and hundreds of thousands of Elite Soldiers also came with endless killing intent.
"Heavenly Court, do you still wish to battle against my Qin?"
Ying Zheng coldly said, holding the Qin King Sword in one hand and the National Treasure Jade Seal in the other.
Even with the Heavenly Court’s current arrival, Ying Zheng remained unafraid.
"If your Qin Kingdom continues to cause slaughter in the Eastern Continent, our Heavenly Court will undoubtedly retaliate with full force."
"At this moment."
"The Tribulation Qi is increasing, severing the heavenly vitality."
"For the peace of heaven and earth."
"Through the Heavenly Emperor’s great virtue, we won’t hold your Qin accountable."
"Yet."
"Your Qin Kingdom must not expand further."
The Queen Mother stared at Ying Zheng coldly.
