Just as Gu Changqing was in seclusion under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries in order to avoid getting involved in the power struggle in the Heavenly Court.

In the slave city belonging to the Heavenly Court, in that simple little house, Ni Cangtian was instructing Futian on a hand seal.

“Overturning Heaven, this hand seal is the key to the Heavenly Court’s control over our slave marks. I have seen it several times in the past.”

"Unfortunately, this hand seal requires the bloodline of a different race to activate; the hand seal alone is not enough."

Ni Cangtian demonstrated the hand seals step by step to Futian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him, while explaining the origin and function of the hand seals to him.

After hearing Ni Cangtian's words, Fu Tian asked with a puzzled expression:

“Senior, the hand seals are not complicated. I can master them in just a few days. But since you say that only those with alien bloodlines can activate them, what use are these hand seals for us to learn?”

After the demonstration, Ni Cangtian put his hands behind his back and simply shook his head at Futian's question.

“Futian, the fact that you were able to learn this hand technique in just a few days proves that you are exceptionally talented. As for why you learned this hand technique, I cannot tell you now.”

Although Fu Tian didn't understand why Ni Cangtian wouldn't tell him the reason now, he knew that Ni Cangtian wouldn't deceive him, so he nodded and then said:

"I am about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I am afraid that the spiritual energy fluctuations generated during the breakthrough will attract patrolling guards. Does senior have any solutions?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Cangtian did not immediately reply. Instead, he looked up at the somewhat simple roof, then walked to Futian, bent down, and whispered in his ear:

“Futian, in fact, I am not the only one in this city who wants to rebel against the rule of the Heavenly Court.”

Upon hearing that there were other human races within the city willing to resist, Fu Tian's face lit up with joy. However, remembering that this matter couldn't be made too public, he suppressed his voice and said:

"Senior, how many people are there in our resistance force?"

"There are 300 people we can trust now, including 2 Dao Integration Realm cultivators, 18 Dao Ruins Realm cultivators, 50 Divine Void Realm cultivators, and 230 Divine Division Realm cultivators."

After informing Futian of the number of his forces, Ni Cangtian continued:

"Those two Dao Integration Realm cultivators are currently infiltrating the City Lord's Mansion. There were originally three of them, but one of them was taken away by a Heavenly Dragon a while ago, and we don't know if that person is still alive."

At this point, Ni Cangtian's eyes sharpened, and his tone became slightly heavy.

"That city lord, Tianxing, although he is human, now treats himself as a dog of another race, and even dares to dream of becoming another race in the future. Humph! What a pipe dream."

Ni Cangtian spoke angrily, and then explained to Futian how Tianxing helped the alien races oppress the human race in the city.

After hearing about Tian Xing's actions, Fu Tian's face turned fierce, and a surge of resentment welled up in his chest.

After Fu Tian let out a long breath, he said in a fierce tone:

"That Tianxing is utterly unworthy of being called a son! As a human, he actually helps that evil alien race to oppress humanity. In the future, I will put his soul in that pot and torment it, making him wish he were dead!"

Ni Cangtian placed one hand on Futian's head and softly comforted him:

"Don't worry, in less than a hundred years, we will surely break through the shackles of the Heavenly Court."

"Yes." Fu Tian nodded heavily.

...

Meanwhile, the dragon head, who was sitting upright in the central hall, was unaware of what was happening in the slave city.

He is now listening to what the person next to him has to say.

"Young Clan Chief Longtian, this matter is of great importance. I request that you convene a Heavenly Court assembly to gather all the Heavenly Court deities and discuss the affairs of the Northern Region together."

Beside Long Tian, ​​a middle-aged Heavenly Dragon Man, dressed in a purple divine robe and wearing a purple-gold feather crown, with a face similar to Long Tian's, spoke up.

“Purple Crown Divine Lord, you are now a titled Divine Lord in the Heavenly Court, there is no need to address me like that, just call me Long Tian.”

The purple-crowned deity shook his head slightly, "Young Clan Chief Longtian, this is a difference in status, not in position. Please forgive me for not being able to comply."

"Sigh~" Long Tian also sighed. This Purple Crown Divine Lord was good in every way. He was a member of the Heavenly Dragon Clan like Long Tian, ​​and he was also at the eighth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Moreover, he was loyal to the Emperor.

Unfortunately, they are too rigid, doing everything in a rigid and inflexible manner.

Long Tian also knew that he needed to notify the other gods, so he used his token to inform all the gods in the other three regions and the Heavenly Court to come to the central hall of the Heavenly Court in ten days to discuss the Northern Region battlefield.

After delivering the message, Long Tian put the token back at his waist and spoke to the Purple-Crowned Divine Lord who was waiting to the side:

"Purple Crown Divine Lord, do you have a plan to find the traitor hidden in the Heavenly Court during this conference?"

“Young Clan Chief Long Tian, ​​although I have some strength, I am utterly incapable of finding traitors.”

After listening to Long Tian's words, the Purple Crown God-King shook his head slightly, as he had never been particularly good at strategy.

Long Tian, ​​peering through the open palace doors at the sky beyond, watching the flashes of various colors, continued speaking:

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Calculator, a master strategist from my lineage, is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm. Otherwise, with his wisdom, he would surely have been able to find the traitor hiding in the Heavenly Court during this conference."

Upon hearing Long Tian's words, the Purple-Crowned Divine Lord bowed slightly and spoke with a hint of apology:

"Young Clan Chief Longtian, please forgive my stupidity. The Heavenly Court is in turmoil, and I am unable to help you stabilize it. I am truly incompetent."

"Please do not belittle yourself, Divine Lord Purple Crown. This matter is due to my poor supervision and has nothing to do with you, Divine Lord. What I said just now was just a sigh. Please do not take it too seriously, Divine Lord."

Long Tian hurriedly helped the Purple-Crowned God to his feet, explaining as he did so.

This Purple Crowned Divine Lord is too pedantic. Sometimes I really don't know if he has gone astray in his cultivation. He's always so stubborn. Long Tian thought to himself after helping the Purple Crowned Divine Lord up.

At this moment, a dragon-man with the cultivation of the Dao Void Realm arrived in the main hall looking exhausted, and then saw Long Tian and the other person sitting in the main hall.

That illusory realm cultivator also hurriedly knelt down, and then spoke:

"Please forgive me, sirs. I come from the Northern Region of the Heavenly Court and have come to deliver a message from the four Divine Lords."

Long Tian frowned slightly as he looked at the person kneeling in the center of the hall, who claimed to be there to deliver a message, and then spoke calmly:

"Since you've come to deliver a message, why didn't the divine lords inform me using their tokens?"

And that person hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, we are trapped in the Heavenly Realm of the Northern Domain by the human race's earth-shattering array. Even the four Divine Lords, using their secret techniques, could only teleport me, a mere Dao Void Realm cultivator, outside the Heavenly Court."

After saying that, he hurriedly took out a divine lord's identity token from his token collection. This identity token was created and given by the emperor, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to copy it.

Seeing the token, Long Tian believed what the man had said and quickly asked:

"What's the situation on the Northern Heaven-Questing Battlefield?"
