Chapter 642: Chapter 403: Perilous Journey to Sainthood (Part 2)

Penglai Immortal Island.

Just as Hao Tian was about to seek help from Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, he suddenly felt the authority of the Immortal Court beginning to spread.

He couldn’t help but feel joyful, but this joy did not last long.

Because he discovered that although the authority of the Immortal Court could indeed spread, everything connected to the Heavenly Realm had completely disappeared.

No matter how the authority of the Immortal Court explored, it couldn’t find anything.

This made Hao Tian feel uneasy, and he couldn’t help but think about the series of events that had occurred.

When connected with the Demon Realm and Earthly Hell, no accidents happened.

But when connected with the Heavenly Realm, accidents happened frequently.

At first, connecting with the Heavenly Realm was quite smooth.

However, the authority of the Immortal Court suddenly stopped, and Donghuang Taiyi appeared at the end of its reach.

With the disappearance of Donghuang Taiyi, the authority of the Immortal Court was unsealed, yet it still could not find the elements of the Heavenly Realm.

In an instant, feelings of fatigue and panic surged into Hao Tian’s heart.

He gritted his teeth, bowed deeply towards Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, and said, “I ask for your assistance, Demon Emperor. My Immortal Court will surely repay you.”

Hao Tian felt unsure, even thinking that the Immortal Court might become incomplete because of this, which led him to act decisively.

For a moment, the people who came to Penglai Immortal Island as observers all turned their attention towards Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan.

Both Hao Tian and Turquoise Pool, the two attendants of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, had sought help from Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun’s expression was serious as he looked at Hao Tian, but reflected in his eyes was the silhouette of Donghuang Taiyi.

“Be patient and wait; the Heavenly Realm is undergoing changes right now.”

“Once these changes conclude, the Immortal Court will naturally connect with the Heavenly Realm.”

Emperor Jun provided a definite answer.

Changes?

All the beings present couldn’t help but wonder.

Are these changes related to the establishment of the Immortal Court?

Purple Cloud Palace.

Changes?

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s calm and tranquil eyes looked towards the Heavenly Realm within the layers of the Primordial Space.

The Thirty Layers of Heaven appeared within the eyes of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.

As for the last three layers of heaven, they are where the Heavenly Court resides, the core of the Heavenly Realm, even Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun wasn’t assured to watch it without alarming Emperor Jun.

Let alone the even more core Heavenly Realm Space.

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun knew of the Heavenly Realm Space only when Emperor Jun fully controlled the Heavenly Realm.

After Emperor Jun gained complete control of the Heavenly Realm, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s grasp on the Heavenly Realm became very weak.

Thoroughly searching the Thirty Layers of Heaven, he didn’t see the location of the changes, indicating that the changes were not in the Heavenly Court but in the Heavenly Realm Space.

Yet after receiving Emperor Jun’s affirmative answer, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun didn’t intervene in this matter.

He kept a close watch on the affairs of the Immortal Court, as it was an act benefiting the Primordial World.

On Penglai Immortal Island, Emperor Jun certainly understood what question Hao Tian wanted to ask.

In his eyes, the authority of the Immortal Court spread like a headless fly but couldn’t leave a certain range.

This is what Emperor Jun could do for Donghuang Taiyi, imprisoning the authority of the Immortal Court within a space, avoiding disturbances to Taiyi.

On another side of his vision, Donghuang Taiyi was holding the Donghuang Bell, step by step approaching the golden eyes within the Heavenly Realm Law Golden Wheel.

Heavenly Realm Space.

The sound of the Donghuang Bell echoed throughout the Heavenly Realm Space, with numerous space-time laws empowering Donghuang Taiyi, suppressing the various laws, cause, and destiny on him.

Anything emerging from those golden eyes, Donghuang Taiyi didn’t evade at all, bearing it all with force.

Such endless laws, cause, and destiny, even with the Donghuang Bell’s assistance in continuous suppression, still imposed a heavy sense of constraint on Donghuang Taiyi, exerting serious pressure.

This constraint and pressure now exist not only in the ethereal but also affect his Primordial Spirit.

These things seem to have become tangible, making Donghuang Taiyi’s body feel very heavy.

Donghuang Taiyi’s face already showed signs of fatigue, yet his golden eyes remained bright, his expression resolute.

Is it merely this?

He couldn’t help but question himself.

His steps became slower and slower, though unchanged was the steadfastness from the very beginning in his walk.

Emperor Jun’s eyes still reflected Donghuang Taiyi’s silhouette, his expression growing more serious, and he couldn’t help but think: Taiyi, what lies ahead is the real test.

Emperor Jun was focused on Donghuang Taiyi, while all the beings on Penglai Immortal Island observed the changes in the Demon Emperor Jun’s expression.

Meanwhile, they speculated on what had happened in the Heavenly Realm to make the Demon Emperor so serious.

It’s worth noting that seeing the Demon Emperor with such an expression was rather rare.

Heavenly Realm Space.

Donghuang Taiyi progressed step by step, his pace growing slower, his steps heavier.

At the same time, the intervals between the sounds of the Donghuang Bell grew longer and the chimes became more muffled, allowing for increasingly more space-time laws to be invoked.

The Donghuang Bell was like Donghuang Taiyi, persistently persisting, helping Donghuang Taiyi suppress the varied laws, cause, and destiny.

Suddenly, Donghuang Taiyi gained an insight.

He realized that between him and the Heavenly Realm, it wasn’t a relationship of opposition.

He needed the saint title of the Heavenly Realm, and likewise, the Heavenly Realm needed him to bear its various burdens.

They should cooperate and integrate with each other.

With this thought, Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have found direction, with the numerous laws, cause, and destiny he bore beginning to merge into his body, integrating into his Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit entrusted to the void.

So this is how it is entrusted.

Donghuang Taiyi mused in his heart.

Simultaneously, the chimes of the Donghuang Bell persisted, manifesting two great daos behind Donghuang Taiyi: the Primordial Sun Dao and the Time Space Dao.

What was once relinquished should now become what was gained.

The various laws emerging from the golden eyes of the Heavenly Realm Law Golden Wheel included those of Donghuang Taiyi.

This was initially donated to the Heavenly Realm by Donghuang Taiyi and they were the two laws he was most familiar with, even ones he could grasp among the Heavenly Realm’s laws.

Donghuang Taiyi took these two laws as a foundation, absorbing various laws, causes, and destinies into himself.

In an instant, Donghuang Taiyi’s expression grew more relaxed, and his steps quickened.

On Penglai Immortal Island, Emperor Jun’s expression grew more serious, and he couldn’t help but ponder.

Back then, my confrontation with the multitude of laws, cause, and destiny of the Heavenly Realm progressed from opposition to acceptance, then to fusion, and finally complete control, a journey spanning long ages.

Taiyi, now in such a short time, you are traversing this path, which is the most dangerous part. Can you maintain your resolve?

Of course, Emperor Jun also knew Taiyi did not need to reach his level to become a Heavenly Saint.

Integration doesn’t mean complete fusion.

Otherwise, it is called Taoization, Taoization merged into the Heavenly Realm.

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi’s steps quicken, filled with joy.

Emperor Jun considered intervening but recalled Donghuang Taiyi’s character and relented.

To become a Saint is not an easy matter.

Taiyi lacked the opportunity of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, nor did he have the substantial merits of Lady Ping Xin, neither did he possess his own avatar’s high insight.

This was already the quickest path for Taiyi to become a Saint.

Within the Heavenly Realm Space, Donghuang Taiyi experienced great joy, witnessing boundless mysteries and the operation of the Heavenly Realm laws.

He felt he had found the true path, immersed in it, integrating numerous laws, causes, and destinies, gradually moving towards the golden eyes at the center of the Heavenly Realm Law Golden Wheel.

But deep within, there was a feeling of unease, a sense of illusion.

Yet, he was so immersed in the joy of witnessing the mysteries that he subconsciously dismissed it.

Step by step approaching the golden eyes, Donghuang Taiyi did not realize that he seemed to have stopped thinking, longing only to immerse himself in boundless mysteries.

Clang~

Clang~

Clang~

…

A series of hurried and brief chimes sounded, from the sound of the Companion Treasure.

This sound wasn’t to suppress the myriad laws on Donghuang Taiyi, but rather resonated in the depths of Donghuang Taiyi’s Divine Soul, shaking his soul.
