1081 The Dragon Qilin Loosening the Reins for a Better Grasp (2/2)
Celestial Venerable Huo became furious and suddenly withdrew his primordial spirit from Celestial Emperor's corporeal body. He rose and said, ”I'll kill South Deity!”
Son of Heaven Yin hesitated and said, ”I'll go and take a look at the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace.”
They left.
Those that remained still didn't move.
Celestial Venerable Yun suddenly said, ”The stalemate can't continue. I have a suggestion. We shall take turns being Celestial Emperor. We'll take shifts and keep tabs on one another. We can create a system that prevents one from occupying Celestial Emperor's corporeal body!”
After a while, Celestial Venerable Hao smiled and said, ”I agree.”
In the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace, Prince You Ming went to find Yan'er and the others. He apologized to the dragon qilin, saying, ”You truly are extraordinary. You could see the situation in the celestial heavens so keenly. It's just that I can't escort the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace to the North Pole alone. Thus, I would like to ask for your help!”
The dragon qilin and Yan'er looked at each other. Yan'er agreed, while the dragon qilin said with some visible hardship, ”Our cultivation is weaker than yours, how can we help?”
Yan'er immediately shut up.
The dragon qilin said, ”Truth be told, I've witnessed Heavenly Knowledge and learned algebra, but I can do little. Your escort will definitely be blocked by the gods of the celestial heavens. The ten guards of the celestial heavens, Celestial River Navy, five carriages, heavenly spirits, earthly fiends, star gods…”
He observed Prince You Ming's expression. Every time he mentioned a great army, his skin would shake.
The dragon qilin sighed and said, ”We can't defend against their attacks without a powerful treasure. We can't even protect ourselves, let alone the celestial palace! Let us return, Brother.”
Prince You Ming held his hand and said, ”Brother, Sister! You two can't go back even if you want to! The Vermillion Bird Celestial Palace and Green Dragon Celestial Palace have already left the celestial heavens. Where can you two go? The four deities' bloodlines are united as one. Help me return to the North Pole, and I'll personally send you two back!”
He admitted, ”I can't fight a war or lead an army. I lack wisdom too. When they attack, I need you to help me adjust the formation of my palace's disciples too.”
The dragon qilin hesitated.
Prince You Ming said, ”You don't trust me? Follow me!”
He led them to the front of the celestial palace and pointed to a place far away, saying, ”Look!”
The dragon qilin and Yan'er looked towards the celestial heavens. They saw giant celestial palaces leaving the celestial heavens with thousands of their palaces and halls!
Besides South Deity, West Deity, and East Deity's celestial palaces, other large celestial palaces were also leaving the celestial heavens. They were likely Heaven Duke, Mother Earth, and Earth Count's celestial palaces.
At that moment, the celestial heavens rose up gently without the pressure from these celestial palaces. It seemed on track to drift out of the Primordial Realm!
Besides that, they also saw gods flying about in the celestial heavens and giving orders. Armies of the celestial heavens flew out to chase after the celestial palaces.
The dragon qilin's complexion grew pale as he said, ”Brother, we're doomed!”
Prince You Ming apologized and said, ”I know I was wrong, but we can triumph still. Father and Mother left the Glassy Sky Pagoda for me to guard the celestial palace with. It's an impressive treasure that has been hailed as the number one treasure in the world. With your intelligence and this treasure, we can triumph!”
The dragon qilin bitterly said, ”How can one mere treasure block the armies of the celestial heavens? Brother, you're better off abandoning the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace and running away with the treasure.”
Prince You Ming pulled them towards the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace's Numinous Sky Hall, saying, ”That's because you two haven't seen the pagoda yet. If you two see it, you'll be relieved!”
