Chapter 132 Six Great Emperor Scriptures
The head of the Zhang Family didn’t know what Li Qingshan was laughing at. He asked curiously, “That’s the Jade Emperor’s full power attack. I tried to break through to the Emperor Realm, but I felt that the aura had locked onto me. I dared not to proceed with the breakthrough. I dispersed all my strength and concealed myself. After investigating in secret, I found out about the divine spirit thought.”
“Does breaking through trigger the descent of the divine spirit thought?” Li Qingshan asked with a smile.
He had been very troubled before, wondering where to find an Emperor Realm expert’s full-force attack to open the Gate of Fate. Unexpectedly, the words of the Zhang Family’s master to resolve his doubts.
Similar to the White Dragon King in the Human World, the Jade Emperor didn’t want any more geniuses to break through to the Emperor realm. Following the old rules, he disliked any further disruptions to the balance of the Immortal Plane. Therefore, after spending ninety thousand years, he birthed a divine spirit thought and integrated it into the Heavenly Dao, which usually didn’t manifest. But whenever a cultivator wished to break through to the Emperor Realm, the divine spirit thought would appear and intercept the breakthrough.
A full-force attack from an ancient Immortal Emperor was something a Crimson Immortal couldn’t withstand. That’s why for the past ten thousand years, no one had successfully broken through.
But wasn’t this just right for Li Qingshan?
“I need Emperor-level power to open the Gate of Fate. The divine spirit thought fits perfectly with this. So, when I break through to Emperor, there’s hope,” Li Qingshan felt ecstatic inside. Coming to the Celestial Court today had been very rewarding.
He now knew the true intentions of the head of the Zhang Family, understood many secrets, and saw hope for his breakthrough to Emperor.
Even the hope of reviving Taoist Dragon, though slim, was there. Once he broke through to the Emperor Realm, the hope would be even greater.
“Aren’t you afraid of the Jade Emperor’s divine spirit thought?” the head of the Zhang Family asked with a frown.
“I’m not afraid,” Li Qingshan said earnestly.
“I know your plan. You want me, an outsider, to exterminate all the descendants of the Emperor Clan in the Celestial Court?” Li Qingshan asked.
“More or less. The descendants of the Emperor Clan are currently the biggest cancer in the Celestial Court and must be eliminated. Their power must be restricted to prevent them from manipulating the Celestial Court. At the same time, we must have a clear goal to bring peace and stability to countless Immortals and ordinary cultivators under the Celestial Court, truly fulfilling the ideal of bringing happiness to all,” the head of the Zhang Family nodded. Although he had lived for thirty thousand years and had become the clan leader of the descendants of the Emperor Clan, deep down, he was still the young man influenced by Taoist Dragon, determined to reform.
However, he couldn’t do it alone.
That’s why he needed Li Qingshan, and he laid bare his intentions to move Li Qingshan with sincerity.
He didn’t trust Li Qingshan, but he trusted Taoist Dragon. Anyone chosen by Taoist Dragon wouldn’t betray his sacrifice.
Of course, there were also situational issues.
The situation in the Celestial Court was becoming more urgent. If left unchanged, the consequences would be destruction. Just like the Ancient Celestial Court, if internal reform was impossible, it would disappear into the dust of history.
“According to what you said, how long will it take to cleanse the Celestial Court? And when the time comes to wield the butcher’s knife and slaughter the descendants of the Emperor Clan, will the Emperors still sit idly by?” Li Qingshan pointed out the flaws in the head of the Zhang Family’s plan calmly.
“No plan is perfect. If we don’t implement it, we’ll only watch the Celestial Court decay and perish. I believe Taoist Dragon also doesn’t hope the Celestial Court reaches that point, right?” the head of the Zhang Family said.
“He does indeed hope for the Celestial Court to improve and hopes for me to save it,” Li Qingshan nodded.
“Now is the perfect time. I’ve dedicated for thirty thousand years, and I’m willing to be your stepping stone. Even if it means backstabbing the descendants of the Emperor Clan and ruining my reputation. As long as our initial wish is fulfilled, the Celestial Court will be revived and bring peace to this turbulent cultivation world. That’s enough satisfaction for me,” The head of the Zhang Family hurriedly said.
“I don’t want the Celestial Court to perish, but I won’t agree to your plan either. It’s too inefficient.” Li Qingshan shook his head and remained calm.
“You want to break through from the Crimson Immortal Realm and enter the Emperor Realm!” The head of the Zhang Family saw through Li Qingshan’s thoughts.
“Yes, break through from the Crimson Immortal Realm and become an Emperor. Then, we will save the Celestial Court and carry out a drastic reform to fulfill Taoist Dragon’s wish.” Li Qingshan nodded.
“But there’s the divine spirit thought,” the head of the Zhang Family frowned.
“Don’t worry about me; I’ll handle the divine spirit thought,” Li Qingshan said firmly. It was precisely because of the divine spirit thought that he chose to break through to Emperor after reaching the Crimson Immortal Realm.
The divine spirit thought would break through the Gate of Fate, opening the long-sealed Great Path of Fate. With all 3,000 Great Paths collected, he would inevitably break through to Emperor, then carry these 3,000 Great Paths to descend upon the Celestial Court, initiating a dimensional suppression.
That was Li Qingshan’s perfect solution.
The head of the Zhang Family looked at Li Qingshan, remained silent for a moment, sighed, and said, “Since you’re so determined, I won’t persuade you anymore. If you have a way to deal with the divine spirit thought, then try it. If it fails, you can try my method.”
Li Qingshan nodded at the words. This indeed could work.
“You’ve just broken through to the Crimson Immortal Realm and want to immediately break through to Emperor. You lack accumulation. Although the Celestial Court is in chaos internally, its foundation is deep. Over the years, countless secret techniques, various cultivation techniques, and insights from Emperors are stored in the One-Origin Heavenly Realm. You can go and take a look, carrying my waist token. You can go anywhere in the Celestial Court with it,” the head of the Zhang Family took out a jade token, exquisitely crafted, and handed it to Li Qingshan.
