Between the ancient and massive celestial bodies.
Seventeen figures sat surrounding the celestial bodies, each figure emanating an extremely ancient aura, like antiques tens of thousands of years old.
Images emerged from the massive celestial bodies, showing a humanoid figure, faintly tinged with green, as if flowers and grass were growing on its body.
Upon closer inspection, it was Tian Sen the Great Saint, with a red and a blue flower growing on his shoulders. He was smiling as he watered the flowers with the water of life. Suddenly, his brow furrowed as if he sensed something. The small flowers retreated into his shoulders, and his expression turned serious as he spoke.
"I didn't expect you all to be able to contact me so quickly while guarding the front lines."
"The war at the front has eased recently, and those two dark remnants entering the lower realm of the Great Heaven is a big deal, so we specifically notified you to capture them. What's the result?"
Tian Sen the Great Emperor shook his head and said resignedly.
"I did catch them, but it wasn't me who did it. It was a peak existence in that Star Region who personally took action, killing one Second-tier Quasi-Emperor and subduing the other. That peak existence is no weaker than me and was unwilling to hand over the dark remnants to me, so I let it be."
"Is it also a Great Emperor? What's their name? Do we have any records?"
Tian Sen the Great Emperor replied, "There should be no records. I don't know him, and he doesn't know me. There's another matter I wanted to contact you about - listing this Star Region as first-class."
"What level is this person at? A first-class Star Region must have a Great Emperor presiding over it."
"Great Saint of Four Dao."
"..."
The seventeen people fell silent.
A Great Saint of Four Dao certainly wasn't considered a Great Emperor, given the completely different titles, but a Great Saint of Four Dao was even rarer than a Great Emperor.
To be honest, a Great Emperor might not even compare to a Great Saint of Four Dao.
"But a Quasi-Emperor represents a status, a supreme existence, the leader of all cultivators. Although a Great Saint of Four Dao is also very powerful, is it appropriate to list it as a first-class Star Region just because of one Great Saint of Four Dao? Isn't that against the rules?" asked the Lean Elder among the seventeen, his words causing his eyes to flicker like starry rivers, his aura as vast as the universe, also an old-school Great Emperor.
Opposite the Lean Elder was the Middle-aged Man Shouldering the Sun and Moon, whose face looked kind. The sun and moon on his shoulders swayed as he shook his head and said.
"That's not the right way to look at it. Rules are dead, but people are alive. I think a Great Saint of Four Dao is even better than an ordinary Great Emperor."
"Besides, what if they break through? A Great Saint of Four Dao, just one step further and they'd be a Four-Dao Quasi-Emperor, able to solidly suppress a Second Tier Great Emperor. I dare say most of us here can't claim to solidly suppress a Second Tier Great Emperor in battle, can we?"
"And what if, by some chance, they become a Four-Dao Great Emperor? Do you know what that means? They could rank in the top twenty among all Great Emperors in the All Heavens World. All of us combined wouldn't be enough to defeat them!"
"If you don't give them face now, don't blame them for not giving you face when they really become a Great Emperor!"
This speech made quite a bit of sense. A Great Saint of Four Dao wasn't terrifying in itself, but its potential was. If this Great Saint later became a Great Emperor, the seventeen Great Emperors here combined truly wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
The Great Emperors successively voiced their opinions, with agreement and disagreement split about evenly.
The Great Emperor sitting at the very center finally spoke, his voice seeming to come from ancient times, uttering the decisive words.
"Agreed. Add one more first-class Star Region."
This settled the matter, and the Great Emperors present had nothing more to say.
The ancient Great Emperor at the center spoke again.
"The Way of Heaven's delay gives us a chance to catch our breath. Everyone must seize this opportunity to build great formations, prepare contingencies, and support this great era through. Once the Way of Heaven becomes dormant, we will have successfully weathered this tribulation."
The Lean Elder raised his brow, his aura shocking as he coldly snorted.
"With over a hundred Great Emperors in the Great Heaven, I refuse to believe we can't withstand this so-called Heavenly Dao Reckoning. Be it the Way of Heaven or dark invasions, this old man will stand at the very front to resist!"
Some Great Emperors nodded in response.
"Since we are sitting here, we have already resolved to resist the Heavenly Dao Reckoning. If we work together, it's possible. After all, this concerns the entire Great Heaven."
The Great Emperors nodded in agreement.
Tian Sen the Great Emperor waved his hand and said, "If that's all, I'll take my leave. Remember to add the first-class Star Region."
"We haven't asked the name of this realm yet?" inquired the Middle-aged Man Shouldering the Sun and Moon.
"It's called the Blue Sky Sword Sea. Does that ring any bells?" Tian Sen the Great Emperor asked in return.
Most of the Great Emperors shook their heads. They all came from the upper realms of the Great Heaven and naturally had no knowledge of the lower star systems, regardless of cultivation level or battle prowess, simply because the distance was too great.
The Lean Elder raised his brows, which were as heavy as the Milky Way, nodded and said directly.
"So it's the Blue Sky Sword Sea. That sect is no ordinary one. It has survived several great eras and produced many Great Emperors. There was a time when it almost became the hegemon of several surrounding star regions."
"But later it seemed to fall into obscurity again. The last time I heard news about the Blue Sky Sword Sea, it was said that they couldn't withstand the Heavenly Dao Reckoning and perished. I didn't expect them to revive in this era. As expected of an established sect with profound heritage!"
Hearing the elder speak thus, the other Emperors also felt that the Blue Sky Sword Sea was indeed a legendary sect. Viewed this way, this Great Saint of Four Dao might indeed become a Great Emperor, standing at the pinnacle of the All Heavens World, becoming first-class in the world!
However, the current Great Saint of Four Dao wasn't considering these matters yet. He was pondering some other issues.
"Should we hang him up or chain him down?"
Emperor Capital quickly responded, "Why not both? Hang him upside down, then chain his neck. This way, he'll be both hung and chained on both sides!"
When it comes to playing creatively, Emperor Capital really knows his stuff.
The White Emperor was cowering to the side, his body trembling, blood still flowing, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy again, fearing another beating.
"Why don't we chain him at the entrance of the Blue Sky Sword Sea as a watchdog? It's perfect since I'm about to trace back to the Blue Sky Sword Sea," Chen Xia suggested.
"That won't do," Emperor Capital hastily waved his hand. "What would I do then?"
"You..." Chen Xia truly hadn't expected Emperor Capital to care even about the position of a watchdog, so he replied.
"He'll be responsible for guarding the gate, and you'll be responsible for watching him. How's that?"
Emperor Capital's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "That's perfect!"
Being able to freely manipulate a Quasi-Emperor, to be honest, was indeed quite satisfying.
He immediately stepped forward, slapping the White Emperor's face while shouting.
"You beast, just wait till I train you properly!"
The White Emperor covered his reddened cheek, not daring to say a word, only managing to flash a ingratiating smile at Emperor Capital.
Slap!
And so he received another slap.
Emperor Capital pointed at him and coldly shouted, "How dare you grin at me!"
The White Emperor was truly on the verge of tears now, both his cheeks bearing bright red handprints.
Suddenly, flames rushed in from afar, falling rapidly. It was Chi Yu's figure. He briefly surveyed the scene, then turned to Chen Xia with concern and asked.
"Are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Chen Xia replied with a light smile.
So Chi Yu turned his gaze to the White Emperor, examining him, presumably noticing the two bright red handprints on the White Emperor's face, and asked puzzled.
"What's going on here?"
The White Emperor didn't know whether he should respond, so he just lowered his head, trembling.
So he received another slap.
Emperor Capital coldly shouted, "Not even greeting people, how rude!"
"H-Hello!" the White Emperor hurriedly greeted Chi Yu.
Slap!
Another resounding slap came flying!
Emperor Capital hadn't even spoken yet, his expression cold.
The White Emperor's face froze, feeling as if he had done something wrong.
"I just felt like slapping," Emperor Capital said.
The White Emperor's mouth twitched slightly, completely at a loss for words.
One must say, Emperor Capital truly understands the art of taming.
