Chapter 596: Chapter 595: Venerable Emperor Chong’en: What Are Those Four Plotting? [Part 2]

The most dazzling person of the age has lost.

The Taixu Celestial Venerable of the Daoist Celestial Court, lost to the unfathomable True Monarch Erlang.

This news, like a storm, swept through the Grand Thousand Immortal Realm.

It became known to all.

Undoubtedly, it shocked the entire world.

"Yang Jian, truly terrifying!"

"He was the ultimate trump card of Daoism, second only to The Three Pristine Ones!"

"Attaining sainthood in physical form during the Gods Sealing Era, being independent during the Journey to the West Era, now, he has become even more unfathomable." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Even the Lord of Daoism, who created numerous miracles, pales in comparison to Yang Jian, truly a terrifying person..."

Countless people marveled, gaining a deeper understanding of Yang Jian.

However, the true powerhouses all maintain a skeptical attitude towards this result.

"It’s merely the words of the Daoist Lord, Yang Jian has not appeared, whether the two actually fought, remains a question mark."

"They entered a special space for a battle, claiming not to affect the Celestial Court, but I believe they are merely avoiding the public!"

"What truly happened inside, only they know!"

...

This battle did not appear openly and honorably, destined to arouse many speculations in the world.

Even.

Even Venerable Emperor Chong’en, isolated in his domain in the Outer Heaven Universe, harbors doubts.

"Could it be that knowing he doesn’t have long to live, he is paving the way for Yang Jian’s reputation, making it easier for him to take over the Celestial Court in the future?"

"But, why did Yang Jian go to the Great Qin Territory afterward?"

"Could it be that they have some conspiracy?"

After attaining the state of a Saint, Venerable Emperor Chong’en not only observes the world but also gains some indescribable perceptions.

Vaguely, he always feels that those two individuals of Daoism are plotting some earth-shattering event in that world isolated from heavenly secrets.

It might even concern himself.

But...

"Only Saints can manipulate all beings."

"What ants dare to conspire against a Saint?"

"After all, it is child’s play."

With a perspective of overlooking the world, Venerable Emperor Chong’en shook his head indifferently, no longer pondering their conspiracy, nor caring about their scheme.

Anyway.

The life and death of all things, in front of a Saint, are merely a matter of a single thought.

"What use is struggling?"

"Even Jade Purity and Shangqing have their falls, not to mention ants."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en whispered, eyes indifferent to everything.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the Great Qin Territory.

Ying Zheng and the Old Dragon King had already entered the world of the Red-bottomed Macaque, which could isolate a Saint’s probing.

But at this moment, the Old Dragon King’s face was extremely shocked.

"To besiege Chong’en, are you crazy?"

Its eyelids twitched wildly, thunder echoed in its ears.

Just now.

Yang Jian actually proposed to invite Ying Zheng to join forces to kill Venerable Emperor Chong’en!

This made the Old Dragon King’s heart race, feeling as if it had heard the biggest joke in the universe.

"Venerable Emperor Chong’en, perhaps once inferior to you, but he has now proven the Dao, he is a Saint!"

"A Saint, is not someone you can harbor murderous intent against!"

"This is simply unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth!"

The Old Dragon King’s dragon beard twitched furiously, its face filled with speechlessness. What Yang Jian said sounded like nonsense.

However, Yang Jian calmly replied with only one sentence.

"We do not walk the path of becoming Saints, it is because we are confident that we can go further than Saints."

"In that case, what Saints are there that cannot be killed?"

This sentence left the Old Dragon King stunned, but it quickly retorted: "The path you walk may surpass Saints in the future, but that is only the future. To fight against Saints now is to court death!"

"Do not agree with them."

The Old Dragon King said to Ying Zheng, with a serious tone.

But Ying Zheng, his face enshrouded in mist, did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned to the Red-bottomed Macaque and said: "I have heard, Red-bottomed Macaque, avoiding death and prolonging life."

"Always having a premonition about actions of great danger."

"So, how do you view this action?"

Ying Zheng asked calmly, standing firm under the stars, his entire being exuding the confidence and composure of a king.

For such a shocking idea as besieging a Saint, he had not stirred much, in fact, a faint interest seemed to be present at the corners of his mouth under the mist.

"This..."

The Red-bottomed Macaque pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, Emperor of the Great Qin, I also think this matter is too absurd."

"However..."

With a wry smile, the Red-bottomed Macaque continued: "I did not feel that this is a situation leading to certain death."

"So, perhaps we could take a gamble."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, his gaze landing on Yang Jian, laughing: "Could you let me see what kind of power your eye holds?"

Yang Jian calmly replied: "To what extent has the Saint’s Breath reached now?"

Ying Zheng laughed, not saying whether or not he was serious: "Nearing a hundred."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the Red-bottomed Macaque’s eyes widened in disbelief.

But after thinking about it.

The North Sea Dragon Race’s allegiance brought thousands of dragon corpses, and as someone who had been walking the Corpse Cultivation Path, Ying Zheng’s path now exceeded others, which seemed reasonable.

However, compared to others’ shock.

Yang Jian simply, expressionless, stated: "If that is all, you cannot witness my Celestial Eye’s power now, wait for the Saint’s battle, then I will show you."

Yang Jian was too aloof, always cold as an iceberg.

Ying Zheng was speechless for a moment before finally smiling and saying one word.

"Good."

He agreed.

This delighted the Heaven-Barking Dog, puzzled the Six-Eared Macaque, and left the Old Dragon King dumbfounded and furious.

Yet Ying Zheng remained calm, saying: "Those corpses have been thoroughly merged by me; to advance further, I need more powerful corpses."

"A Saint’s corpse is the most perfect choice."

The Old Dragon King wanted to say something but stopped: "But... that is a true Saint..."

Ying Zheng stated: "But he is also the weakest Saint."

"Moreover, he is different from the other Saints, he is too free. As long as he is alive, I do not dare to leave the Great Qin Territory lightly."

"So..."

In the depths of Ying Zheng’s eyes, killing intent flashed.

"He must die!"

Boom!

In the skies, thunder roared, lightning like a dragon or python fell around Ying Zheng, casting him as a king of heaven and earth.

...

After leaving Great Qin, Yang Jian stepped into the Outer Demon Land.

Upon learning of this, Wutian did not find it absurd, nor did he think it preposterous. On the contrary, he agreed straightforwardly.

...

Whether it be Ying Zheng or Wutian, their entry into Yang Jian’s world could not escape the perception of a Saint.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en only didn’t know what happened after these people continuously entered that world.

"The Lord of the Dao Court, True Monarch Erlang, Great Qin Ancestral Dragon, Demon Realm Wutian, what are these four individuals plotting?"

Finally, Venerable Emperor Chong’en felt a ripple of uncertainty and doubt.
