1081 The Dragon Qilin Loosening the Reins for a Better Grasp (1/2)
Prince You Ming spoke with North Deity. He was appreciated by them, which made him very happy.
Deity Xuan said, ”It's better that we split with the celestial heavens as early as possible. We should leave for the North Pole now.”
Deity Wu said, ”Although they control Celestial Emperor's corporeal body now, they can't decide on how to divide the spoils, making now the best time to split. If they finalize it, it'll be difficult to be free from the celestial heavens.”
”However, having the celestial palaces leave the celestial heavens is a big thing. People will likely try to stop it. If we act, we should get the other deities to act too!”
Deity Wu and Deity Xuan rose and said, ”My son, we discussed this with South Deity, West Deity, and East Deity. We are leaving now to not be constrained by the celestial heavens. We can live freely in our territories and rule the four poles. Isn't it better if we are the celestial emperors of our poles?”
Prince You Ming was happy, yet he also felt that it was a pity. He said, ”I have many old friends in the celestial heavens. If I want to see them again, I'll probably take me years to come to the celestial heavens.”
”Your friends are bad and superficial friends. There's no need to miss them!”
Deity Wu had Divine King Gong Yun's capabilities as she said, ”It's better if you get rid of them. When we reach the poles, you'll be the prince of the pole's celestial emperor. You'll be happy and free.”
Deity Xuan said, ”This split is a major event. There'll probably be difficulties. My son, you will fly out of the celestial heavens with the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace and go north following the celestial river. I'll stay here with your mother to protect and escort you.”
Prince You Ming was happy that he was valued.
Deity Wu loved her son, so she gave him the Glassy Sky Pagoda, saying, ”This treasure was forged with our lifelong savings. With it, you can block any danger. Remember, you must not lose it.”
Prince You Ming nodded.
The North Deity couple arranged for everything. They smiled at one another when, suddenly, a loud rumble came. The Black Tortoise Celestial Palace rumbled and gradually rose, splitting itself from the celestial heavens and celestial street as it did.
Ancient gods like the Great Sun Sovereign were shocked when they saw it. He immediately mobilized reinforcements to block them.
At the same time, loud rumbling came from the south, west, and east of the celestial heavens. The gods of the celestial heavens watched with disbelief as the Vermillion Bird Celestial Palace, White Tiger Celestial Palace, and Green Dragon Celestial Palace also split themselves from the celestial heavens and rose into the sky!
Many important officials of the celestial heavens like the seven masters, five constables, and four heavenly masters flew to the celestial palaces to seek audiences with the four deities to dissuade them.
North Deity Xuan Wu went to pretend to comply while they secretly used their magic power to get the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace to leave the celestial heavens.
The Great Sun Sovereign quickly reported this at the Numinous Sky Hall. At that moment, Celestial Emperor seemed to be seated with many Celestial Venerables and leaders of races. They appeared to be talking about important things, as the atmosphere seemed tense.
The Great Sun Sovereign quickly reported on the event, and the Celestial Venerables and race leaders meditated without speaking.
The ancient Celestial Emperor spoke. ”I have important things to discuss for now and can't go and stop them. Star Sovereign, use the Celestial River Navy, the armies of the four sects, the ten guards of the celestial heavens, the five carriages, and other armies to try and stop their celestial palaces first.”
The Great Sun Sovereign bowed and nodded.
The ancient Celestial Emperor waved and gave him the commander's seal to mobilize the ten guards of the celestial heavens.
The Great Sun Sovereign left hastily.
Silence filled the Numinous Sky Hall still. After a while, Celestial Venerable Huo laughed and said, ”The four deities will be gone if this stalemate continues! The ancient gods must be killed! None of the four deities is allowed to live! Give me Celestial Emperor's corporeal body and let me kill them. I don't want this corporeal body. I'll return it after I've killed them. You lot can fight over it!”
Everyone coldly laughed.
