Free Web NovelChapter 202: Chapter 193: The Great Celestial Venerable’s River of Destiny
[Zhuge Liang learned of the foundation of the Celestial Court from Gao Sheng and Zhuang Yang, and was deeply worried. Although the South Celestial Gate is temporarily disconnected, the Celestial Court will surely return.]
[Zhuge Liang’s concern for the world precedes the downfall of the Divine Han. He knows well that relying solely on the present Divine Han is not enough to rival even the hundred thousand Divine Generals under the command of Giant Spirit God.]
[In August, Zhuge Liang left the Divine Han to seek heroes capable of resisting the Celestial Court across heaven and earth. A hundred years later, he accepted three thousand disciples, from all walks of life, among them eight hundred Divine Martial Artists, and twelve hundred Taiping Qi Cultivators, with talents emerging in the Divine Han.]
[Zhuge Liang still finds it insufficient.]
[He ascended the ’Yellow Heaven Great Sun,’ retrieved the ’Dharma Decree’ from Yellow Heaven and Wuyou Heaven, and went to the Hundred Schools Dao Lineage, integrating the knowledge of all schools.]
[After three hundred years, with his disciples and their successors working tirelessly, they jointly created the ’Heaven and Earth Array: Eight Array Map.’]
[During this time, the generals of the Divine Han, such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Jiang Wei, each led their Divine Martial Artists to form an army practicing with the ’Eight Array Map.’]
[It can also stand a fight against the Celestial Court’s army.]
[Lü Bu and Wuyou long resided in Yellow Heaven Great Sun, expanding heaven and earth with Profound Yellow Merit while maintaining the order of heaven and earth to prevent the celestial vault from shattering. He had heard from Donghuang Taiyi that once the world shatters, all things will vanish.]
[Wuyou discovered deficiencies in heaven and earth, slowly disappearing, and immediately led the Taiping Masters for repairs.]
[Until Zhuge Liang, with ’One Heart of Light,’ raised the ’Eight Array Map’ to attest to the Dao in ’Bright Heaven,’ illuminating the path for those who come after.]
[One day, the ’Four Holy Divine Thoughts’ manifested within the white jade pillar of Yellow Heaven Great Sun, informing Lü Bu and Wuyou that in the original world of the previous Lord of the Celestial Court, the Jade Emperor, there existed more than one Great Dao Saint.]
[Daoist Ancestor Li Zhong and the Jade Emperor contested twelve Daos to vie for the Great Fortune of heaven and earth.]
[The Great Dao trodden by the Jade Emperor, like that of the Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor, is ’Commanding All Laws.’ He employed the ’Great Dao Divine Skill: River of Destiny’ to utilize the divine techniques of other divines from the Origin Realm.]
[Li Zhong won four, drew five, and lost three.]
[Among the three losses were the power of Thunder Punishment, the Power of Destruction, and the Life and Death Reincarnation Plate.]
[A single avatar of the Jade Emperor could suppress the four Great Dao Saints: Daoist Ancestor Li Zhong, Mr. Bing, the Child, and the Blind Man, in this realm.]
[The prowess of the ’River of Destiny’ can be seen in this aspect.]
[In that world, there are at least three Great Dao Saints whose strength was no less than that of the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Celestial Court.]
[The Jade Emperor, Lord of the Celestial Court, suffered a great loss this time. Coupled with Yellow Heaven Realm veering towards eternity and possessing infinite Great Fortune of heaven and earth, he will not let go of the meat at hand.]
[Yet, the Jade Emperor alone cannot match the Celestial Court’s Nemesis, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. He will likely unite with the ’Great Dao Saints’ from his Origin Realm and come together.]
[The master of the Four Saints, Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor, has a significant interest in that world associated with the Celestial Court. Daoist Ancestor Li Zhong brought a Thought Decree, and Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor revived himself to personally converse with Lü Bu. He expressed his willingness to assist Lü Bu in fending off the Celestial Court, hoping to best enter that world.]
[Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor wants to catch a glimpse of its appearance.]
[Qi Cultivator?]
[ Lü Bu and Wuyou understood the reason for Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor’s interest, as Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor set foot on the Dao path in youth with the ’Cyan Heaven Great Sun Burning Qi Scripture.’]
[Among the Ten Thousand Realms, all Great Daos share a common root, indeed wondrous.]
[The two discussed.]
[Lü Bu restraining the Jade Emperor necessitates Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor manifest as one with the Four Saints, firmly suppressing the Jade Emperor’s power.]
[But Wuyou and Zhuge Kongming, while having attested to the Dao, did so for too short a time, lacking both Great Dao divine techniques and Great Dao spiritual treasures, and their power is still a level below Mr. Bing, the Child, and the Blind Man.]
[However, Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor did not believe that the Jade Emperor could drive three similarly high-tier Great Dao Saints from his Origin Realm to serve him willingly, nor has he exposed his true strength.]
[As long as Lü Bu could gather his strength and directly break through the Celestial Court.]
[Upon occupying the Celestial Court, they could firmly stand their ground.]
[Since Zhuge Kongming attested to the Dao in ’Bright Heaven,’ the Qi fortune of the Divine Han has settled. Even as Divine beings attest to the Dao one by one, no ’New Heaven’ has been born since. According to Wuyou’s calculation, it will take approximately three billion five hundred million years until the next ’New Heaven’ emerges.]
[Unless the Divine Han establishes a grand gate, akin to the ’Mystical Door,’ for invading other worlds, the Divine Han struggles for peace, and all beings enjoy great freedom, collectively rejecting an unjust war.]
[Wuyou and Zhuge Kongming are gratified.]
[The Divine Han established for eight hundred years, gradually sees people dying of old age. With a phrase of Celestial Court invasion, we could be summoned back, leaving behind their flesh bodies for reincarnation. Thereafter, only Zhuge Liang remains in the Mortal World to manage the situation.]
[Time swiftly passes, vanishing in an instant.]
[After thirty thousand years of the Divine Han’s establishment, all things flourish anew, with Divine Martial Artists emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain.]
[Until one day, at the edge of heaven and earth, the South Celestial Gate suddenly explodes open, with a torrent of Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals pouring in like tidal waves, blotting out the sky and the sun.]
[Zhuge Kongming flung out the ’Eight Array Map’ in his hand, which in an instant transformed into heaven and earth, blocking the entrance of the South Celestial Gate, becoming the first gate of the Yellow Heaven Realm.]
["All generals, return to your positions!"]
[The great generals of the Divine Han reincarnated, led the ’Eight Array Map,’ and top-tier Divine Martial Artists unfurled their ’Unrivaled True Body’ to begin slaughtering Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals, resulting in heavy losses for the Celestial Soldiers and Generals.]
[This place once accounted for fifty percent of the Great Fortune, once a Lower Realm of the Celestial Court. Now, as war breaks out, the strength of both sides is unrestricted.]
[There was even a Golden Immortal Great Power from the Celestial Court that intervened but failed to break through the ’Eight Array Map.’]
[The Celestial Court went undefeated for three years.]
[A little white-robed general rode a silvery white True Dragon, wielding a spear, dashed through the thousand armies, without a match to challenge, and such warrior might, the Divine Han had dozens more.]
[The Celestial Court, untested by wind and rain for long, saw its Celestial Soldiers and Generals beaten into retreat by the great generals of the Divine Han.]
The "New Four Celestial Kings" forcefully took action with their Magical Treasures, compelling the young general in the white robe to break through to the Eighth Realm of Martial Arts, followed by several Divine Han generals also breaking through to the Eighth Realm of Martial Arts.
Although they weren’t the first to reach the Eighth Realm, their flesh united with their "Dharma Aspect," and their Martial Arts Will exhibited astonishing resistance against various Magic and Divine Techniques. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
This heritage stems from the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
Moreover, in this fierce battle, the generals refined their Spirit Weapons into "Unparalleled Spiritual Weapons," their power sufficient to rival "Magical Treasures."
The Celestial Court suffered heavy losses, as the Divine Han advanced like a landslide, directly threatening the South Celestial Gate.
Dozens of Star Monarchs from the Celestial Court arranged a grand array, barely halting the defeat.
The Emperor of the Celestial Court was deeply shocked upon witnessing this scene—a mere mortal world, in just ten thousand years, developed combat power equal to that of an "Immortal Golden Immortal." The potential of Martial Arts is undoubtedly a part of the "Great Dao," worthy of the Celestial Court’s significant attention and integration.
The Celestial Court rules over various laws, not bound by ordinary Dao Lineages, appropriating the laws of the Ten Thousand Realms for their own use, excelling at using the enemy’s strengths against them.
The Emperor secretly gathered information about the "Divine Han Martial Dao."
He discovered this path of Martial Arts requires four major elements: first, refining True Qi and Gang Qi; second, sharpening Martial Arts Will; third, crafting Unparalleled Spiritual Weapons; fourth, awakening the Lifebound Character.
Only when all four are prepared can one achieve the Eighth Realm in Martial Arts, becoming a "Great Saint."
Among them, the "Method of Supreme Spirit Weapon" cannot be stolen, and the Lifebound Character is even more precious. The Celestial Court is unable to cultivate a "Great Saint" of the Eighth Realm in a short time.
The Celestial Army, Divine Martial Artists, Star Monarchs, and Great Martial Saints clashed, as the Divine Han occupied the "Eight Array Map." The creation of a single Eighth Realm "Great Saint" would drive the Celestial Court out of the South Celestial Gate.
Meanwhile, at the highest point of the Sixteenth Heaven in Daluo Heaven, Lingxiao Palace,
The Jade Emperor closely watched this battle, slightly furrowing his brow: "Incompetent."
With a subtle thought, he issued an Imperial Decree, commanding the four Emperors to descend and suppress the "Eight Array Map" and Divine Han.
The Yellow Heaven Great Sun slowly rose.
Lü Bu summoned the Fulu Child, one of the Four Saints, who manifested an Infinite Golden Body, suppressing an Emperor with a single palm.
At this moment, a dazzling golden Treasure Tower descended from beyond the Nine Heavens, shining brightly.
"Great Dao Spiritual Treasure?" the child exclaimed in surprise.
It was the "Great Dao Divine" invited by the Celestial Lord, Jade Emperor.
Unafraid, the child fought fiercely in the Yellow Heaven Realm, knowing the Otherworldly Divine couldn’t descend in true form; even with the Great Dao Spiritual Treasure, victory was not assured.
A drawing and a seal flew out from the South Celestial Gate.
The Blind Man and Mr. Bing took action, engaging with six Great Dao Divines amidst the South Celestial Gate and Eight Array Map.
"This heart of light!" Zhuge Kongming descended in true form, suppressing the Celestial Court’s Emperor, subduing the top-tier combat power of the Celestial Court.
"Daoist Attainer? And Li Er hasn’t taken action?" The Jade Emperor felt a headache witnessing this, despite summoning the Three Saints of Divine Land, yet failing to draw out the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
He slowly rose to personally take action, issuing a Dharma Decree that was answered by Heaven and Earth.
Bang!
Three purple thunderbolts descended from the sky, unavoidable, instantly striking down the Three Saints.
Mr. Bing was lightly injured, the child was lightly injured, but the Blind Man suffered heavy injuries.
The Eight Array Map was torn apart under the thunder’s assault, and the South Celestial Gate was revealed to the Divine Han multitude, dense celestial soldiers pouring down like a golden flood, swiftly occupying half the heavens.
Above the South Celestial Gate, three indescribably majestic figures emerged, gazing indifferently at the mortals below.
"How dare you..."
Lü Bu, with closed eyes, suddenly raised his head.
With the Jade Emperor’s return, a river interwoven with fate flowed mightily, its surface adorned with heavy shackles.
The river intertwined, circulating with no beginning or end, endlessly and infinitely.
The future of Divine Han’s multitude, originally filled with infinite possibilities, was fixed along a predetermined path.
This was Destiny!
Life and death, all ordained by Heaven, no, decreed by the Jade Emperor.
The multitude seemed entrapped in a spider’s web, struggle as they might, unable to defy the Celestial Mandate.
"In Divine Han’s Celestial Mandate, year 34,043, Liu Bei perished... Zhuge Liang perished... Zhao Yun perished... Lü Bu perished... Wuyou perished... the fall of Yellow Heaven... Divine Han’s multitude ultimately could not defy the Celestial Mandate, reduced to dust."
A cold decree rang in the multitude’s ears.
"You dare attempt to control my fate!"
Lü Bu roared in anger, stepping forth with golden flames surging around him, his body gradually enveloped by layers of armor, and in his hand, suddenly appeared a Sky-piercing Halberd, pointing straight at the sky.
"We are born free!"
