Chapter 78

Qingxuan: "The Way of Heaven is clear and unchanging from ancient times. Only by following its natural laws can we continue to exist.

Now, blinded by selfish desires, you attempt to manipulate the rules, becoming the biggest culprit in disrupting the natural operation of the Heavenly Dao. Have you ever considered the terrible price that the lowest beings in the six realms will pay for your actions?

"So what?"

Wuwang's eyes were filled with disdain. "I've already said, these are only temporary. When this period is over, there will be a new Six Realms."

Yan Zhu: "Crazy."

Haotian: "You look down on all living beings and ignore the lower classes. Is this what you call virtue and ability? Even if I give this position to you, you still can't do it well."

Haotian’s arrogance and ridicule made Wuwang’s face turn black.

Haotian continued, "However, if it was the Wuwang of the past, perhaps I would have given it to you. I wouldn't have wanted to be the Lord of the Divine Realm. But now, you've annihilated your humanity. You'd better give up on this idea. If I leave this Divine Realm and the Human Realm in your hands, it would be no different from purgatory."

When Haotian mentioned the need to vacate the lord of the divine realm, his expression was absent-minded, and thunder suddenly erupted in the sky outside the Nine-Layered Temple.

"boom!"

Yan Zhu raised her eyebrows. How could the Lord of the God Realm, who was personally chosen by Heaven, give up so easily?

Seeing that Haotian didn't care about the position of the Lord of the God Realm, Wuwang was furious. He planned every step carefully and designed the things he wanted, but in the eyes of others, they were dispensable. How could he not be angry?

Haotian said solemnly: "Wuwang has been executed. As the night is long and dreams are many, he will be taken to the Thunder Punishment Platform immediately for execution."

Gui Zang bowed and said, "I will obey the divine oracle."

After saying this, Jiuli walked in from outside and saluted towards Haotian: "Your Majesty, the Nine-Layered Temple is surrounded by gods. After identification, most of them are Wuwang's children, and there are also some gods who were instigated without knowing the truth."

Haotian glanced at Wuwang, who was dozing with his eyes closed in Linglongqi, and said, "Wuwang, the God of the gods, is highly respected and virtuous. He should never have thought of being used."

“Great things can only be accomplished by taking advantage of every available opportunity.”

Wuwang didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Yanzhu looked at Jiuli, who looked much thinner.

Later, at the edge of the Thunder Execution Platform, Yan Zhu handed the Phoenix Feather to Jiuli: "This is Jin Huang's thing, it's most appropriate for you to keep it for her."

Jiuli's gaze lingered on the fiery red. After a moment, it looked away and said in a hoarse voice, "This is something she left for you to protect yourself. Take it with you."

After saying this, Yan Zhu placed the Phoenix Feather directly on Jiuli's trembling palm. "I think you have also heard about Wen Sheng's reincarnation after his death. I think Jin Huang will return as an ordinary person one day in the future. But it is also possible that you two will never meet again. None of us want to see you trapped in the past."

"Jiuli is now a criminal. Once the affairs of the God Realm are resolved, I will travel the four seas until my death."

Yan Zhu sighed. It seemed that this person would not listen. He still believed that Jin Huang would be reincarnated successfully, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Yanzhu suddenly felt Qingxuan pinching her hand hanging by her side, but because his robe was too loose, outsiders could not see it.

She turned her head and looked over, and Qingxuan conveyed the message: It is good to have a thought after all.

Yan Zhu replied: Jin Huang definitely doesn’t want Jiuli to be tortured by the past.

Yan Zhu was about to say something when she was distracted by the chaotic crowd not far away.

Someone shouted, "I wonder what the Wuwang Divine Lord has done wrong? Why is he being punished by thunder?"

"Master travels abroad all year round. I wonder which divine rule he has violated?"

Among the crowd were Wuwang's loyal disciples and passers-by who stood up for him. The Leixingtai was filled with people inside and outside, which showed that the other party's statement was well-known and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Haotian glanced at Hongle, who immediately used his spiritual power to amplify his voice, filling the entire Thunder Punishment Platform: "Wuwang committed treason and injured the Heavenly Sovereign's sacred body. He now aspires to become the master of the Divine Realm. According to the Divine Rules, he should be struck with several bursts of purple lightning until his spirit dissipates and his divine bones are no longer there!"

"What?"

“Is this too cruel?”

"That's not right. How could the Divine Lord Wuwang disobey the Heavenly Lord?"

"Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Looking at the way the God is enduring humiliation, there must be some misunderstanding."

Wuwang had a sad expression on his face, and looked at the gods below the stage with pity. There was not a hint of coercion in his words, but every word revealed the chilling feeling of being oppressed by power.

"I appreciate your kindness, but this is the divine rule and cannot be changed. I hope you will remember this after I leave."

Wuwang's words are vague and unclear, and different people understand them differently.

Yan Zhu lowered her voice and asked Qing Xuan, "Wuwang really pleads guilty?"

Is it that simple and easy?

Qingxuan: "The bottle has not been found yet, let's take a look."

When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.

Gui Zang: "Could it be another clone?"

Qingxuan: "This time it's the real body. If the clone disappears in front of everyone, he won't be able to give an explanation to the gods."

Yan Zhu looked confused. "Now that he's under our control, we can't take over his body. He can only be punished on the Thunder Execution Platform. Could there be any other tricks?"

Qingxuan glanced at Guizang who was watching the show on the side. When the latter noticed, he turned around with a confused look on his face and said, "Don't look at me. I've told you everything I know. I just want to finish this quickly and go home to find Jingyue."

“…”

Yanzhu always felt that there was a subtle secret between Qingxuan and Guizang, but since the two of them refused to talk about it, she didn't plan to ask. She asked, "Jingyue is in the God Realm?"

"How can that be possible? This is the human world."

Mentioning Jingyue, Guizang's expression became even more lazy. He explained, "The Divine Gate has been unstable recently. There's a risk of it closing at any time, which would have a significant impact on our mortal bodies."

After saying this, Gui Zang turned around and asked Qing Xuan, "You said yesterday that due to Wuwang's mischief, the Divine Gate will close in half a month. Is it true that we will be hungry at this time?"

Qingxuan glanced at the angry faces of the crowd and nodded, "Originally, the Divine Sect could have held out for a hundred years, but the fortunes of the demon and human worlds suddenly changed, and the Divine Sect was also affected."

Yan Zhu looked at Wuwang on the podium, whose expression remained unchanged, and the crowd whose shouts were becoming increasingly louder, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"If the Heavenly Lord insists on punishing Wuwang now, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the gods."

Gui Zang: "Perhaps Wuwang's real intention is to make the Heavenly Monarch arouse public anger..."

"Boom—"

Seeing that the purple thunder was about to fall, Qingxuan withdrew his gaze from the crowd, took a step forward, and whispered something to Haotian. The latter waved his hand, and the purple thunder paused for a moment.

Haotian glanced sideways and said, "Wuwang must be punished today. As for the explanation, I have already given enough. It's just that they only want to believe what they see."

Haotian's attitude was firm and there was no room for maneuver.

The next second, as the purple thunder was brewing, the gods broke through the obstruction of the gods' servants, like an unstoppable wave, demanding an accurate fact.

"Tianjun, I wonder if there is any evidence to prove that Wuwang Shenzun has made such a serious mistake?"

The gods all demanded a proof.

Yanzhu hurriedly presented Wujiu to Haotian, fortunately she had a backup plan.

Wu Jiu: “…”

Haotian's gaze slid over to Qingxuan, who understood and projected the image of Wujiu in the air.

Seeing the familiar scene, Wuwang, who had been motionless, had a gloomy look in his eyes. It was Yanzhu and Qingxuan again, who had ruined his plans time and time again.

Wujiu started recording from the beginning outside the Nine-Layered Temple to the last moment. With Yanzhu's special emphasis, every move of Wuwang was recorded on the screen. The Wuwang in the video had an arrogant expression and boasted that he wanted to replace the Heavenly Dao and force the Lord of the God Realm. This was completely different from the Wuwang they usually saw. At this moment, this person had been devoured by desire and ambition, leaving only a shell.

After watching the final seconds, the gods suddenly realized they were being manipulated, and they directed their anger at Wuwang's disciples and Wuwang on the Thunder Execution Platform. Wuwang's expression was icy, his face dark and gloomy, and his aura terrifying. Some disciples who knew the situation inside out panicked, asking the man what the next step would be.

Wuwang cried out in pain: "How do you know the authenticity of this picture?"

The restless scene began to cool down, and the gods looked hesitant, wavering between the two.

Wu Jiu couldn't stand being questioned, so he spoke out in front of everyone for the first time: "I am the master's companion artifact. If I lie and the Heaven knows, I will be punished, okay?"

Yan Zhu took back Wu Jiu and looked at everyone steadily: "I can swear a Dao Heart Oath."

Gui Zang's expression changed.

Qingxuan said nothing, his lips were pursed and his expression was slightly tense.

The crowd whispered.

“If someone’s words are inconsistent with their Dao Heart Oath, not only will their cultivation stagnate, but it will also be very easy for inner demons to arise.”

"The God of Purification is putting his own cultivation on the line."

After a while, someone shouted, "Since the Pure Turbid God is willing to swear a Dao Heart Oath to determine the authenticity of your companion artifact, then we are naturally willing to believe it."

Yan Zhu raised the corner of her mouth, turned to Qing Xuan, and spoke very naturally and frankly: "I don't know how to perform the Dao Heart Oath Hand Seal, would you, Lord God, be willing to help me?"

Qingxuan nodded: “My pleasure.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two men walked one in front and one behind. Qingxuan took Yanzhu's slender wrist and taught the woman the complicated hand gestures with a gentle look in his eyes.

This scene was seen by the ladies in the audience, and it really broke their hearts.

Originally, Qingxuan was driven out of the lonely realm by Yanzhu, and his cultivation gradually recovered. In addition, due to his status as a close minister of the Heavenly Emperor, many female emperors secretly fell in love with him.

Since Qingxuan had been out handling important matters and his whereabouts were uncertain, he had not had the opportunity to meet Qingleng Zejun by chance. Who would have thought that the man had an intimate action with a woman.

Haotian raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of the attitude of watching a show.

The two did not notice anything unusual in the audience. With the help of the man behind her, Yan Zhu took a Taoist oath.

The moment the formation was completed, golden light shone brightly and shot straight into the sky. After a while, the woman was safe and sound, and Wujiu was also punished by heaven, which was enough to prove the authenticity of the picture.

For a moment, the gods looked solemn and silently looked at Wuwang on the thunder execution platform.

Amidst the rolling thunder, a streak of purple lightning split the air, and someone tremblingly said, "So, Divine Lord Wuwang has been lying to us all along?"

"That's right, your respected Wuwang Divine Lord is disturbing the peace of the six realms. His ambition is very great!"

Zhongli Ye flew slowly from behind the crowd and landed steadily beside Yan Zhu. Just as he was about to take another step forward, he was blocked by Qingxuan.
