Chapter 363 A Great Demon Sage Once Rebelled Against the Heaven Courtyard (2/2)

Besides that, the Emperor and the four Imperial Lords of the Heaven Courtyard had several duplicate selves that would attend to different Heaven Courtyards. They then recruited the strong spirits of that particular area to make up the three hundred and sixty-five deities and make them embrace Celestialism and the path of Shen. With the help of the Heaven Courtyard, these strong spirits would be able to escape the trials of Dao and enjoy peace. But they had to obey the heavenly laws set by the Emperor and that means losing part of their freedom.

Many almighty seniors came here because they wanted to dispel of their trials of Dao and transcend beyond the mortal world. As they completed their cultivation, they left the Heaven Courtyard as they did not want to be bound by the majesty of the Emperor. They left to find somewhere else where they can be free.

This tradition was also passed down.

Also, after leaving the Heaven Courtyard, one would realize the vastness of the universe and will want to seek higher knowledge. When we reach that stage, we would also leave.

Shen Lian thought of the ambitions of the Emperor. It was probably something very rare back then during the ancient times and even now, during the modern times. The Emperor did not only wanted to rule the masses but also wanted to be an overlord to the living creatures that have attained Dao and become an eternal dictator. If the Emperor could defend such ruling system, he would probably be satisfied even if he could not detach like a Dao Master or Buddha.

”Grandmaster Qingshui came to the Heaven Courtyard after it collapsed. The Grandmaster saw the projection of the Jingque Jade Booklet and was inspired to create the Taixu Strategy. Because it was only the projection, she was able to accomplish it quickly. If she saw the real form of the Jinque Jade Booklet, it would most probably take her about millions of years to overcome the overindulgence of Dao meaning of the book,” said Ziling.

Shen Lian had many doubts in his mind. For example, when the Emperor disappeared and the deities fought over the Jinque Jade Booklet, even if there was a civil strife that caused the collapse of the Heaven Courtyard, it should not collapse to such degree. Furthermore, if the Emperor was such an invincible figure, how did he disappear so easily? There were too many mysteries.

Perhaps it was not Ziling who was withholding information, but her understanding of the matter was limited.

But to think of it, if the Jinque Jade Booklet was so precious, and a small projection of it was able to inspire Grandmaster Qingshui to create the Taixu Strategy, would Ye Liuyun not be concerned that he might be tempted to own it and not hand it over to him after obtaining it?

Shen Lian felt that he just walked out from a mystery but stepped into another one.

Ziling Fairy held Shen Lian's hand as they transformed into a ray of afterimage and departed swiftly.

Shortly after they left, a loud explosive noise could be heard as a deep hole surfaced at the place that they were at before. Soon, a palace emerged from the hole. It was Yuming the Honored Celestial's Lingxiao Hall.

The Lingxiao Hall was once the core of the Heaven Courtyard and the Jinque Jade Booklet was the core of Lingxiao Hall. If Yuming the Honored Celestial obtained the projection of the Jinque Jade Booklet, he could rebuild the Heaven Courtyard and become the next Emperor. Although he could not match the previous Emperor, he would still be one of the strongest ever existed. Lu Jiuyuan's position as the best in Xuanmen would also be threatened.

There would be endless advantages if they could rebuild the Heaven Courtyard. At least they could avoid the trials of Dao and would not have to worry about the decreasing of their mana.
