925 Prosperous Peacefulness (1/2)
Although both of Celestial Venerable Yue's legs were completely disabled, she was still, nevertheless, the oldest Celestial Venerable.
Even if she did live in seclusion for many years, she was still not to be looked down upon.
The space around the Jade Pool was almost completely shattered by these horrifying beings. Only the island where the Slow Winding Pavilion sat was considered a safe shelter.
Looking out from the island, space was shattered into countless fragments, creating a terrifying space storm that rotated frantically. Those terrifying beings sat motionless inside the turbulence of shattered space.
The scene was truly terrifying, which made Qin Mu and the others feel that the outside world had already been annihilated and that their island was all that was left.
”If a battle between the Celestial Venerables breaks out, it's likely that the celestial heavens will be completely annihilated.”
Qin Mu kicked the still sleeping dragon qilin and said, ”Unfortunately, no battles will be fought.”
The dragon qilin woke up and looked around him before asking, ”It's still not over, Cult Master?”
Qin Mu nodded, and the dragon qilin went back to sleep while lying on the ground.
Yun Jianli laughed. ”This guy is blessed to be able to sleep in such a situation.”
The dragon qilin opened his sleepy eyes and, in a muffled voice, said, ”If the sky falls, Cult Master will help to hold it up. If he dies, so will I, so why not go to sleep?”
The masses laughed involuntarily.
However, the dragon qilin's words made sense upon greater analysis.
The situation at hand was definitely out of their control. Even if they destroyed the culprit who fractured the celestial heavens, Qin Mu, the situation would remain unchanged.
They couldn't alter the course that the situation was heading into regardless of how much they cared, so it was pointless to worry about it.
In contrast, the dragon qilin's ability to fall asleep at such a critical moment of life and death was in itself impressive.
”Ten beings at the Celestial Venerable level have arrived, six of which belong to the celestial heavens.”
Yun Jianli analyzed the situation. ”This means that there are still four Celestial Venerables left in the celestial heavens, and they still have an overwhelming advantage. Celestial Venerable Mu, the situation hasn't really turned in our favor. If a couple more Celestial Venerables appear, do you still have reinforcements? Will Celestial Venerable Qin appear?”
Qin Mu smiled. ”Founding Emperor is still keeping watch at Carefree Village. He hasn't appeared in the past, and he won't appear now. Besides, who is to say that the remaining four Celestial Venerables won't help me?”
Yun Chuxiu, who was standing nearby, looked slightly stunned as she turned her gaze towards him, seemingly in deep thought.
Amongst the ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens—Wu, Huo, Xiao, Zu, Lang, Qiang, Yan, Hong, Xu, and Gong—only Ancestral God King had revealed his identity. The others hadn't done so in order to avoid becoming a political enemy after killing Celestial Venerable Mu.
And also, Celestial Empress, who was on Qin Mu's side, was secretly among them.
Celestial Empress was forced to help Qin Mu because the body of Mistress Yuanmu was in Qin Mu's hands, and she feared the resurrection of her sister.
Qin Mu confidently swore that someone else would help him. Among the ten Celestial Venerables, who would that be?
The ten Celestial Venerable were never one complete unit.
In the past, everyone kept causing trouble and arguing with one another. Not long ago, Celestial Venerable Hao went to the lower bounds with the most powerful divine weapon but was forced back to the celestial heavens. Was that move to prevent the Primordial Realm from falling into the hands of others?
Another Celestial Venerable approached them. The island where the Slow Winding Pavilion sat could no longer take it, and the edges of it began to crumble. The rocks of the island were constantly being shattered into powder.
The palace maids on the island screamed as they backed off, rushing towards the Slow Winding Pavilion to prevent themselves from being annihilated by the terrifying aura of the Celestial Venerables.
Although the Slow Winding Pavilion that Qin Mu was in was by the sea, it was secretly protected by Heaven Duke, Earth Count, Celestial Empress, and others, so they wouldn't be affected for at least an hour and a half.
However, the arrival of this Celestial Venerable once again tilted the scales. The island they were on couldn't hold out for much longer, and it, along with them, would soon be ground into dust, their souls being dispersed.
At this moment, another Celestial Venerable arrived at the Jade Sea.
His arrival rebalanced the situation and prevented the shattering of the island.
”Amongst the ten Celestial Venerables, how dare people still stand on the opposing side of the celestial heavens!”
A Celestial Venerable masked in dense light laughed and said, ”It's in vain that we call each other Dao friends, as unexpectedly, some people here are hiding things from others. Nevertheless, you lot are the minority!”
At this moment, another Celestial Venerable arrived and tilted the scales once more, causing the island to continue collapsing.
Yet, as this Celestial Venerable stopped, another Celestial Venerable approached, and balance was restored. The island's collapse was thus stopped.
The ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens had all arrived one after another!
Adding Heaven Duke, Earth Count, Celestial Venerable You, and Celestial Venerable Yue, there were 14 extremely strong practitioners present!
Yun Jianli was extremely grateful as he remarked, ”What a rare scene to witness, something that has never been seen before—the combined presence of 14 beings who have attained the level of Celestial Venerable. If they were to fight, it would be an unprecedented and magnificent sight to behold!”
”Magnificent my a**!”
Qi Jiuyi was angry and furiously said, with saliva spraying everywhere, ”Now should be the time where we go around and beg them not to fight! If they do, we'll definitely die! Second Brother, you a**, you're still sleeping! Now, the question should be on how to clean up the mess!”
Qin Mu suddenly said, ”Well, maybe only Celestial Emperor, who rules the entire celestial heavens, can stop this conflict. Maybe the imperial decree from Celestial Emperor will arrive here shortly.”
The masses shivered. After all, Celestial Emperor was the lord of the celestial heavens. All of the gods, regardless of whether they were ancient gods or Celestial Venerables, were his subjects.
Celestial Emperor had stopped dealing with politics, allowing the ten Celestial Venerables to manage the Imperial Court. In addition, Earth Count, Heaven Duke, and others rarely listened to the orders of Celestial Emperor. Nevertheless, he was still, in the name of the celestial heavens, the common lord of everyone.
If he were to show up, he could definitely stop this conflict.
