: With the leaving of the six Saint Lords and only one stayed, Cang Xuan’s calm heart began to become restless.
: The positions for Saint? There should be a seat for myself.
: During the time when the only Saint Lord who stayed back, spent years in seclusion to focus on his comprehension of the heavenly Dao, Cang Xuan began to actively build up his own influence and secretly cut off the peerless factions who would not abide to his orders or had different intentions.
: Once the world is unified and that whatever he speaks of becomes the constitution of law itself, great luck would surely converge on him. Cang Xuan believed that he would be able to break the shackles of fate and take over the position as a Saint forcefully.
: However, there were three obstacles in total:
The first was the Tai Xuan Gate, which was the inheritance of the Tai Xuan Saint Lord. Although it belonged to the Heaven Court faction, it ignored Cang Xuan as the Heavenly Emperor;
The second was the Sacred Sect, or the Saint Spirit Palace. During the last invasion, the sect did not give in their all and retained quite a bit of their combat power. At that time, two Quasi-Sages from the sect survived. They later grew at a very fast pace. They seemed to be obeying the Heaven Court, but they were always treating major events with reconciliation.
: The third obstacle was the God Clan. They were the remnants of the ancient powerful races, collectively known as the God Clan. They were very faithful at the beginning but since the departure of the six Saint Lords and that six Quasi-Sages were born in the clan, they no longer paid attention to him, the Heavenly Emperor.
: Cang Xuan secretly monitored and observed while plotting at the same time.
: He discovered that the Tai Xuan Gate was gradually dominated by people from the human race. While the God Clan being an ancient race, they enjoyed consuming flesh and blood, especially the flesh and soul of human beings. Hence, he took this contradiction as a chance to promote the war between Tai Xuan Gate and the God Clan.
: After several battles, the two forces had become sworn enemies. Cang Xuan waited and observed the changes in between them while he plotted against the Sacred Sect.
: The members of this force were all congenital spirits, or were gods born naturally. They were all born with special abilities and were extremely proud of themselves, considering themselves to be of the noblest bloodline. Of course, the Saint Lords were an exception.
: There were even many newborn gods of nature that proclaimed that the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor was not as noble as theirs.
: However, this force was extremely xenophobic, as they operated on their own. They did not have too powerful enemies. In addition to them being very powerful themselves, it was difficult to scheme against them.
: Finally, he found an opportunity.
: The Sacred Sect had a female Saint Spirit named Yu Xin. She was arrogant and sought to be the strongest of all. However, she also was curious about the outside world. When she went out for her practice, Cang Xuan had his wisp of consciousness reincarnated. With his authority as the Heavenly Emperor, he suppressed the karma effect, interfered with the heaven’s prophecy and gave his reincarnated body a clean background.
: His reincarnated body improved in cultivation at a very fast pace. He was also knowledgeable and was known as one of the rare geniuses in the local area. By ‘accident’, Yu Xin met him and they traveled together.
: Yu Xin fell in love with him. Soon, a child named Yin Zhan was born. Under the intentional arrangement of Cang Xuan, the Sacred Sect learned that Yu Xin fell in love with a man of the human race and gave birth to a son. All members of the Sacred Sect were furious and began their chase to kill the man.
: Cang Xuan’s reincarnated body intentionally led the Sacred Sect to the sects and main cities of the human race one after another. Due to the battles, many of the human race were either dead or wounded, and it also set ablaze the rage of the peerless experts from the human race, as they proceeded beheading many gods of nature.
: After all, the human race was the largest race in heaven and earth, and their potential was boundless. If the Sacred Sect provoked the human race were to be provoked, the sect would definitely be isolated.
: Their seeds of hatred were deeply planted.
: As the chaos was getting bigger and bigger, Cang Xuan knew that it was time to end all these. After he secretly allowed the child to escape by faking his death, both his reincarnated body and Yu Xin died in battle.
: As for Yin Zhan, Cang Xuan had a complicated feeling about him because he was his son after all. Hence, he secretly accepted him as a disciple and began to nurture him as best as he could.
: He was planning to use Yin Zhan as an excuse of righteousness to forcefully intervene with the Sacred Sect in the future. Also, by guiding the human race into the battle, it would not be difficult for him to subdue the Sacred Sect in the future.
: With the whole plan finalized, he would only have to let the world run its course, coupled with occasional intervention in secret. He was sure to be able to take down the three forces to unite the entire universe as one, and even to completely control the Saint Lords’ Laws Net.
: What if he were to suppress the Saint Lords with the Laws Net? He knew he must not have such a thought now! He had to cut it completely!
: He sat high above heaven, overlooking the civilization of the commoners.
: Many years passed, yet time remained boundless.
: He also continued his cultivation in hope of a miracle that will allow him to enter the Saint Lord Realm. Even if it didn’t work, he could also comprehend special abilities, deduce mysterious techniques and accumulate himself to an unprecedented level.
: On this day, when he felt the tremors from the Laws Net and discovered that it was Yin Zhan who made some movements, he hurriedly paid attention to the whole event. Although he had left life-saving means on Yin Zhan, he felt that it was better for him to pay attention in time for anything.
: He was extremely surprised upon seeing what had happened.
: Who is this person? He actually blocked the three-point double-edged knife with only one finger? Although that was only a Great Overarching vessel, its blade extremely sharp, yet this human actually blocked the attack? He might not be capable of blocking such an attack with his own physique without being injured. This human was no trivial matter.
: When did such a peerless existence appear in the Heavenly Realm?
: Did the Saint Lord nurture him in secret? Could he be an ancient being who has been reincarnated? Or maybe he came from the Chaos?
: His origin was unknown, but he was certain that this human was a variable to his plan.
: Just as he was about to intervene, he discovered that the human child had launched his attacks with the intention of killing Yin Zhan. He was furious and evoked the secret technique that he had left on Yin Zhan to protect him, and then teleported him back with the Laws Net.
: How dare you kill my son, my disciple, and destroy my plans! No matter who you are, there is only an ending for you!
: In today’s Heaven Court, there are five great emperors and 12 immortal venerates other than myself. These are all powers I can utilize other than the power of the Laws Net. Hence, if the Saint Lords were not intervening, who else could even compete with me?
: He activated the Heavenly Southern Gate and descended directly into the world. If this human child was wise enough to resign himself, it would be fine. Else, I’ll forcefully suppress him. At the same time, I can show off the Heaven Court’s power.
The information from the Human Path Record came to an abrupt end.
Jiang Ming however, was not at peace. As a whole, this world wasn’t special, yet the events that the world had experienced were extraordinary.
When the seven positions for Saint Lords were filled, there was the attack from the Chaos Beasts and also four incomparably powerful Saint Lords. It was obvious that those Chaos Beasts were controlled or driven by the four Saint Lords.
‘Doesn’t this mean that any Great Chiliocosm may be invaded by foreign peerless experts?’ Jiang Ming was shocked by such a revelation.
What if the Tiancang Great Chiliocosm was invaded before the appearance of the seven Saint Lords?
The answer was clear. It was complete annihilation!
‘Can those of the Saint Lord Realm invade any world at will? Can’t the great chiliocosm’s self-defensive measures stop them?’
Jiang Ming had no answers to these questions because he had not reached the corresponding height.Hence, he could only keep these thoughts in his heart and look for answers later on.
‘There are seven Saint Lords in the Honggu Heavenly Realm, the Tiancang Great Chiliocosm and even the legendary Primitive Chaotic World. Could it be that this is the limit of the great chiliocosm?’
Jiang Ming had such a thought. It might be a mere coincidence, or the truth. Who knew?
‘In the beginning, the seven Saint Lords started by treating the universe as their chessboard, and all living beings as chess pieces, while they played against each other. After experiencing a great disaster, they were united and unified into one. This led to the creation of the Laws Net, a terrifying formation.’ Jiang Ming lamented at what had transpired.
This was also corresponding to the saying united we stand.
Because of the Laws Net, all parts of the world had been made into a well-connected world. Although this worked well in the beginning, it would eventually lack a bit of vitality along with progressions because all beings would end up being suppressed by the Heaven Court.
‘Is the Saint Realm the limit within the world?’ Jiang Ming thought that it might be the reason that the six Saint Lords left.
Even though they discovered great opportunity in the Sea of Chaos, they still had to leave one Saint Lord to guard their world.
For this reason, he gave them a thumbs up. He agreed with their act of not forgetting their homeland no matter how high they soared.
‘This Heavenly Emperor Cang Xuan’s way of doing things was also very good. Almost comparable to Tai Yuan!’
He had begun competing for a chance to sanctify his way of Dao since ancient times, but was defeated. Nevertheless, he was not discouraged, but became dormant. He was even capable of standing up to defend his world from the invading foreign enemies.
After successfully winning the position as the Heavenly Emperor, he hid his wild ambitions from the seven Saint Lords. Instead, he worked diligently as ever, never complaining about anything, only to maintain the general order.
He did not lose his virtue indeed.
When the six Saint Lords left, it was only natural for him to think about sanctifying the way of Dao.
As for the suppression of Tai Xuan Gate, the Sacred Sect and the God Clan, whether it was for the purpose of trying to attain the way of Dao, it was still his duty as the Heavenly Emperor. Hence, he wasn’t wrong.
After all, they were too outrageous for not obeying the rules of the Heaven Court.
“It’s just that the methods he used to deal with the Sacred Sect are rather contemptible. Although that was his incarnation, Yu Xin was also still his wife, yet he watched her die.”
It was not supposed to be an act of a gentleman. But he was not wrong of him to do so, for he was not human after all.
“If this guy Yin Zhan knew of the real situation that he was in, would he go crazy?” Jiang Ming couldn’t help having such strange thoughts in his mind.
Right at this very moment, he raised his head and saw a golden gate materializing high in the sky not far away from him. In an instant, a supreme and majestic aura poured down from the gate as if it was the wrath of the gods themselves.
