People's hearts were restless.
But time continued to pass.
The Great Saints became guarded, no longer casually leaving the stars where their interfaces were stationed, starting to become conservative.
Some interfaces even had two Great Saints stationed at the same time, so they were exceptionally stable.
Among them, the Celestial Realm was the top level one.
The Celestial Realm had a Zhun Di, with three Great Saints guarding it, it looked to be the most stable, so all the cultivators of the Celestial Realm felt at ease.
But accidents still happened.
A quasi-saint of the Celestial Realm disappeared inexplicably, losing all of his aura on the star where he was stationed in the Celestial Realm.
All the cultivators of the Celestial Realm anxiously searched for him.
Half an hour later, this quasi-saint's aura reappeared, along with his own corpse.
The Zhun Di of the Celestial Realm was furious, directly invoking his own Grand Dao's Heaven and Earth, determined to find the cause.
The two Great Saints assisted the Zhun Di with their own Grand Daos, breaking open Heaven and Earth, directly seeking the origin.
This did allow the Zhun Di to see some things.
It was an inverted tower, at its very top, there was an old daoist inverted and sitting at the tower's peak, wearing ancient daoist robes, covered densely with text, one could see the words, but if looking closely it was just a blur.
The Zhun Di was still examining it when he was startled, looking up to see the old daoist's eyes were also open, sizing him up.
"Don't peep if it's impolite," the old daoist said lightly.
The Celestial Realm's Zhun Di angrily questioned, "Why did you ambush my Celestial Realm's quasi-saint?!"
"Can harvesting the vegetables and fruits one has painstakingly grown also be called an ambush?" the old daoist retorted.
The Celestial Realm's Zhun Di furrowed his brows tightly, unable to discern the old daoist's cultivation level, so he didn't dare make a move, and solemnly asked.
"What exactly do you want?!"
"Would you answer the questions of fruits and vegetables?" the old daoist calmly retorted.
"What?" The Celestial Realm's Zhun Di solemnly grit his teeth.
"Scram." The old daoist raised his hand, lightly flicking towards the space between the Zhun Di's eyebrows, shattering his probing divine soul, dispersing rapidly between Heaven and Earth.
He sat quietly atop the Great Profound Capital, his eyes continuously turning, with one hand continuously gesturing incantations and chanting.
"Does Solemn Zhun Di have a chance of becoming a Great Emperor within 300 years?"
His gesturing hand paused, his eyes and brows sank, and he answered himself.
"There's a 40% chance he can become a Great Emperor within 300 years, 60% chance it's within 500 years, 100% chance it's within 1000 years."
"He's lived through 4 great eras, accumulating too much, becoming a Great Emperor within 1000 years is the general trend, it's the crux of my plan this time."
"What about other threats?"
The old daoist changed his incantation gestures, also adding Chen Jiu in. But the odds were still under 80%, puzzling the old daoist. His gestures changed, directly integrating some primordial Grand Dao to force a solution.
And the result was just two words.
"Chen Xia!"
The old daoist frowned, really unable to understand.
How could someone who had just glimpsed the Transcension stage of the Inverse Ocean Realm be more powerful than the 5 Great Saints, how could they compare to Chen Jiu?!
Hey, don't say that, he really can.
The future Chen Xia summoned by the Past and Future Method doesn't yield to anyone, and it's in the Great Death Realm where the Heavenly Dao is thin. The only restriction is it damages Chen Xia's body, so he can't stay for too long.
And more ironically, Chen Xia learned the Past and Future Method from the Great Profound Capital, now this is real cause and effect.
The old daoist really couldn't think of the reason, his eyes and brows sinking, he also didn't keep pondering it, now was the time for action, he had been planning this for hundreds of thousands of years, he had to do it.
All his cultivation base, Dao Heart, were focused on this matter.
If he failed, his soul would be annihilated, no longer existing in this world.
If he succeeded, he would be the fourth supreme in this world!
Using the saints of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds to nourish the Great Death Realm, rebuilding an interface with himself at the center, occupying all the opportunities and luck, without needing to prove the Six Daos, he would still become supreme!
The news of the Celestial Realm's Zhun Di being heavily injured spread quickly.
Some people came to ask what had happened, the Celestial Realm's Zhun Di's divine soul was blurred, he didn't know anything, only knowing he had encountered great terror.
Well this was meaningless.
The inquiring cultivators could only helplessly leave.
It seemed that even the Celestial Realm's stationed stars that people felt were the safest were not safe.
A Zhun Di and two Great Saints still couldn't defend it.
Sighing words circulated everywhere, also reaching the Big Yellow Dog's ears. It disdainfully said,
"A Zhun Di and two Great Saints can defend jackshit, if it really was that old daoist, at least a Great Emperor would be needed."
It was only a step away from Great Emperor, very close, only needing to take this one step, successfully proving the Dao, then it would be Solemn Great Emperor.
Unfortunately it couldn't be rushed.
Apart from it needing to comprehend, Chen Xia was also comprehending the Dao, surrounded by 7 Great Saints protecting his cultivation, arranged in a Seven Star Formation around Chen Xia sitting, their spiritual qi and souls condensed into solid form, airtight.
Additionally, Big Yellow Dog's primordial protection was outside, Chen Xia's protection team could be said to be top-notch.
Big Yellow Dog was also urging on the side, "Keep an eye on my bro here, even when he goes to the bathroom you guys have to accompany and protect his cultivation. When I become a Great Emperor, there will naturally be opportunities for you all!"
"Ok ok." The 7 Great Saints agreed, not daring to refute, having been beaten into submission by Big Yellow Dog.
Chen Xia had his eyes shut tight, the three lotus flowers behind him growing deeper in color, in the ripples of time there were little purple dragons formed from thunder wandering about.
This was the fusion of the Grand Dao.
He stood in the middle of the heart lake, facing the sword sea, negotiating with his heart devil.
"Let me enter the Heaven Mending Realm, I need real Transcension."
"No, I can replace Transcension," the heart devil held an opposing opinion.
Chen Xia tilted his head slightly, the entire sword sea quivered, retorting,
"Is there really no room for discussion?"
"I won't commit suicide, unless you personally come behead me." The heart devil's crimson eyes were completely emotionless.
The calm heart lake trembled, then quickly calmed again.
The waters did not stir.
"Alright." Chen Xia nodded.
He transformed into the heavenly dragon, charging in with thunder.
The heart devil did the same.
In ancient times there was a saying.
The heart devil inside the body is the heart devil.
Outside the body, it's the Dao seed.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
