Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven pondered for a moment and then said, “For me, as long as I assist a Heavenly Dao in taking office, I’ll have fulfilled my wish. So, there’s no problem on my side. Next, let’s talk about how to perfect the Dao of the ancient Heavenly City. I don’t know much about it.”
To Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven, it didn’t matter whether Fairy Cheng Lin and Fellow Daoist Song had other plans. His interest was to push the 8.5 Heavenly Dao forward. Then, he would see who was more suitable for the ninth Wielder of the Will.
“Me too,” Daozi said, gripping the Confucian Canon tightly.
“Me too,” the Eight-Armed Immemorial Demon Venerable nodded. “In order to save my best friend from the ancient Heavenly City, Fairy Cheng Lin and I share the same goal,” the Great Northern Emperor said slowly.
“Although my obsession has been broken, we are still friends. I can help. Furthermore, I also want to witness the birth of the 8.5th Wielder of the Will,” the master of the Titanium Temple said with his palms together.
“First of all, we need to bring back as many fragments of the ancient Heavenly City as possible,” Fairy Cheng Lin said.
The Eight-Armed Immemorial Demon Venerable frowned slightly. “Do we need to bring them all back? This might not be easy… Back then, the ancient Heavenly City shattered too badly, and its fragments spread throughout the myriad worlds.”
“There’s no need to bring them all back. We only need more than half of the fragments to carry out the Perfect Ancient Heavenly City Plan. We’ve been collecting and rebuilding the ancient Heavenly City. Now, we only need to bring back one-fifth of the fragments. Yes, try to pull back the more important parts. One fragment of the important parts of the Heavenly City is equivalent to dozens of ordinary fragments,” Fairy Cheng Goudan explained.
“Then, I’m going back to the scholarly faction. The ancient Heavenly City!” Daozi stood up and said, “After the destruction of the ancient Heavenly City, the scholarly faction collected many fragments. The Celestial Thearch used the golden bodies of my four junior brothers to exchange for some of them, but a portion has already been transferred to the world of the golden lotus in the scholarly faction. I’ll go now and bring these fragments of the Heavenly Court.”
“If we go back, should we bring some gifts to the scholarly faction?” Fairy Ye Si suddenly said, “Tomorrow is Chinese New Year’s Eve in the main world. It’s a very special day.”
“New Year?” Daozi seemed to fall into a distant memory. A gentle smile appeared on his face. After a while, he sighed softly.
After saying that, Daozi opened a spatial rift and left with his true body, heading toward the entrance to the world of the golden lotus.
“I’ve collected some fragments of the Heavenly Court before. I’ll go get them now,” the Eight-Armed Immemorial Demon Venerable said. Their otherworldly demons had the habit of collecting treasures. Even if cursed and losing their minds, this habit remained. This was why many otherworldly demons dropped a lot of treasures when killed as wild bosses.
The Eight-Armed Immemorial Demon Venerable tore through space and flew away.
“If it’s a fragment of the Heavenly City, do you need me to see Golden Trigram?” The Great Northern Emperor looked at Fairy Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin and the Great Northern Emperor knew that Golden Trigram had attained immortality and inherited the position of the Heavenly Emperor. The new Heavenly Emperor, Golden Trigram, had a large number of fragments of the Heavenly Court. However, it wasn’t easy to get these fragments from him.
“As for Golden Trigram, I’ll talk to him personally. Our plan might need his help,” Fairy Cheng Goudan said slowly. Golden Trigram was the legitimate successor of the Heavenly Emperor, and their 8.5 Heavenly Axiom Plan couldn’t avoid him.
“Alright, I’ll leave Golden Trigram to you. Then I’ll go meet little friend Tyrannical Song. He also has part of the Heavenly City fragment. Moreover, it’s time to bring my turtle back,” a gentle smile appeared on the Great Northern Emperor’s cold face.
The ten-thousand-year-old glacier suddenly smiled, cold and warm.
“Wait, Great Northern Emperor. Can you leave Shuhang to me?” Scarlet Heaven Sword suggested, “Shuhang and I have a good relationship. It should be easier for me to talk to him. Moreover, I sensed my inner demon suddenly disappeared. It just so happens that I have to ask Song Shuhang what happened.”
Scarlet Heaven Sword couldn’t wait to see Tyrannical Song.
Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven was speechless. “Then, why don’t we go together?” the Great Northern Emperor said. “Scarlet Heaven, I’ll go with the Great Northern Emperor. Is that alright?” Scarlet Heaven Sword asked.
Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven was speechless again. “I’ll go with you,” Ye Si stood up and lightly patted her skirt. “It’s almost New Year. I want to spend it with Shuhang.”
This year might be the last New Year she and Song Shuhang would spend together. As Cheng Lin and Fellow Daoist Song’s 8.5-term Wielder of the Will plan unfolded, as Fairy Cheng Lin’s spokesperson, she would inevitably be involved. Therefore, she cherished this opportunity to celebrate the New Year.
“Be careful,” Fairy Cheng Goudan gently patted Ye Si’s head.
“Go,” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven sighed and said to Scarlet Heaven Sword.
Another spatial gate opened in the void. Scarlet Heaven Sword, the Great Northern Emperor, and Ye Si left together, heading straight for Song Shuhang’s location.
The entire headquarters of the [Heavenly Dao Must Step Down Alliance] suddenly became deserted.
“Other than collecting the fragments of the ancient Heavenly City, is there anything else we can help with?” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven sighed and asked Fairy Cheng Lin.
“I wanted to ask the same question,” the master of the Titanium Temple nodded in agreement.
“Yes. Reversing the ancient Heavenly City and Celestial Thearch, allowing Daozi to become the 8.5 Wielder of the Will, requires the power of the heavenly tribulation. Therefore, we need to find a reliable junior or a trustworthy member who is about to transcend the tribulation. At that time, we can borrow their heavenly tribulation,” Fairy Cheng Lin said.
They would just take on the heavenly tribulation and would not affect its power too much.
“A member who transcends the heavenly tribulation?” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven pondered. He thought of Lady Onion. Back then, he felt that Lady Onion, who had the ‘appearance of the Wielder of the Will,’ should still be with Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song. Li Tiansu’s daughter, Li Yinzhu, whom he had a brief affinity with, should also be with Tyrannical Song.
“Why don’t I go see Tyrannical Song?” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven thought to himself.
Song Shuhang’s position.
“About 98% progress. Stuck.” Song Shuhang frowned and looked at the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber in his hand. At this time, the intensity of the immortal elemental energy in Song Shuhang’s body was surging. He had already broken through the limit of an ordinary Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender, reaching the level of a weak and grown-up Tribulation Transcender like the ‘Three Separations Executioner’ from the immemorial era. However, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’s Nine Revolution Dao Pattern did not break through as well. This was different from what he had expected.
“Could it be that I have to wait until I truly step out of my own path, advance half a step into the Tribulation Transcender realm, and become an ‘Immortal,’ before I can complete the Nine Transformations? Or perhaps… Are you waiting for me to vindicate dao and become immortal?” Song Shuhang frowned. However, whether it was the Immortal Realm or the Immortal Heavenly Dao, it was not something that could be achieved just like that!
Just as he was thinking, a spatial gate opened beside him.
“Shuhang, Scarlet Heaven Sword is back!” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s voice rang out. After that, the Great Northern Emperor with a cold expression appeared, as well as a fairy maiden that Song Shuhang almost subconsciously ignored.
At this moment, they had all come out of the special space with their true bodies and were no longer affected by the effect of cutting off their roots.
“Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, Senior Beifang, why are you here?” Song Shuhang went up to them.
