Chapter 890: The Realm of Samsara

Chapter 890: Chapter 890: The Realm of Samsara

The attitude of the three Saints was perplexing; today's events were not to be mentioned by anyone?

Curiosity was inevitable. Four people went to retrieve Nuwa's relics, a Saint intervened midway, yet the other two Saints did not enter. Everything seemed extraordinarily bizarre.

Did the three obtain the relics? How did they end up coming out with a Saint? Why did the Saint lower himself to protect these three?

Everything was shrouded in mystery, but no one dared to defy the Saints. Saints were the most powerful beings in the world. Offending three Saints at once? Even if you obtained the Saint's relics, what then? It would still be a death wish!

The ancient immortals took a deep breath and said, "We obey the Saints' decree!"

No one dared to object; everyone complied unanimously.

Zhong Shan observed the entire situation calmly. The way of the heavens? The ultimate existence in the world?

The three Saints looked down at the vast expanse of the Ao Lai Sea below.

"Return to where you came from!" Mozi said calmly to those below.

His words didn't just reach their ears but seemed to resonate in their hearts. The people at the Ao Lai Sea immediately bowed in reverence.

At some point, the mysterious Magu had vanished from the sea below, disappearing as mysteriously as she had appeared.

The three Saints exchanged a glance, and then, enveloped in a white light, they shot up into the sky and disappeared from sight.

The three ancient immortals, whose bodies had been taken over by the Saints' divine sense, fainted immediately and were caught by others as they fell.

"Let's go back!" said the Holy King of Taichu.

"Yes!" everyone responded.

The Holy King of Taichu led Princess Nine-Tails, while Chess Saint Chimei led Zhong Shan and Su Afo downwards.

The other three kings of Taichu returned separately, one carrying Sima Qing.

The Master of the Purple Firmament looked in the direction Sima Qing was taken, frowned slightly, but said nothing, and then disappeared.

The battle at the Ao Lai Sea had ended. However, it left an endless fog of mystery. Only Zhong Shan and the other two knew the whole story, and of course, they wouldn't divulge it. They understood that speaking about what they saw in the Celestial Hall meant courting death.

Even the Saints were cautious about it, so how could they speak carelessly?

Zhong Shan would undoubtedly remain untouchable for a long time.

Elsewhere, back at Qingqiu.

Sima Qing lay at home for six months before slowly waking up.

When he awoke, he sat alone in a small courtyard, all the servants dismissed.

In the courtyard, Sima Qing furrowed his brows deeply.

"Nuwa defied the way of the heavens? So, the way of the heavens can indeed be defied!" Sima Qing kept pondering this thought.

Suddenly, Sima Qing took out a jade pendant he always wore at his waist.

With a flick of his hand, some patterns began to appear on the surface of the pendant. The pendant acted like a memory crystal, recording everything that happened in the Celestial Hall that day.

As he looked at the scenes within, Sima Qing's frown deepened.

"Zhong Shan? Unfortunately, I cannot use him!" Sima Qing murmured.

"Let's hear it," Zhong Shan said calmly.

"Yes, the Realm of Samsara can be viewed as divided into northern and southern parts. We are in the north. The only real threat to our court in the north is the Spacetime Dojo, led by its master 'Luo Xingchen.' His power is unfathomable, and he possesses the divine ability of 'time.' He is the primary enemy in the Realm of Samsara. While other celestial dynasties and holy lands in the north are strong, they remain within our court's capacity to handle," Yi Yan analyzed.

"What about the south?" Zhong Shan asked calmly.

"In the south, there is another powerful force that could threaten our court: the Wuxiang Holy Court. The ruler of this court was the number one person in our small world tens of thousands of years ago, the Wuxiang Holy King. He is also the ancestor of True Monarch Nian Youyou from the past Longevity Realm," Yi Yan reported.

"The ancestor of Nian Youyou?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhong Shan's reaction, Yi Yan nodded and continued, "The Wuxiang Holy King is a man of great ambition and talent. His domain is vast. A small half of the territory south of the Samsara Region belongs to the Wuxiang Holy Court. Additionally, the Wuxiang Region, across the sea from the Samsara Region, is entirely under his control. The Wuxiang Holy Court wields considerable influence!"

Zhong Shan tapped his fingers lightly on the dragon throne, contemplating the situation in the Samsara Region.

At that moment, Mud Buddha stepped forward.

"Your Majesty!" Mud Buddha said respectfully.

"Speak!"

"Yes, my lineage entered the small world later. My grandmaster originally presided over the Wheel Hall. As long as Your Majesty can take control of the Wheel Hall, I only need a few years to study its mechanisms. I can guarantee that once I control the formations of the Wheel Hall, I can fend off a hundred ancient immortals without defeat!" Mud Buddha said respectfully.

"Fend off a hundred ancient immortals without defeat? The Wheel Hall?" Zhong Shan's expression grew serious.

"Yes, the Wheel Hall is currently within the domain of the Spacetime Dojo. Due to its intense malevolent aura, no one has been able to control it, but I can," Mud Buddha said with a bow.

Zhong Shan looked at Mud Buddha with a frown. The Samsara Region was famous for the Wheel Hall, but it had been abandoned for hundreds of thousands of years. Mud Buddha claimed he could control it?

"Very well, I will take the Wheel Hall and leave it under your command!" Zhong Shan affirmed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mud Buddha said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, if we decide to seize the Wheel Hall, we will be directly opposing the Spacetime Dojo. We should avoid a direct confrontation for now, especially with the eight celestial dynasties around us," Yi Yan advised.

"The eight celestial dynasties are a hindrance? Then we will pacify them first. It's been two years since they attacked us nineteen times. It's time for a counterattack!" Zhong Shan said resolutely.

"Yes, I have devised a strategy to deal with the eight celestial dynasties. It will require cooperation from our various military commanders. I request Your Majesty's approval," Yi Yan said, presenting a jade slip.

The ministers were astonished. Yi Yan, as expected, was the most valued military strategist of the Holy King. He had planned the entire strategy before the battle even began, relieving the Holy King of his worries!

Zhong Shan took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Approved!" Zhong Shan affirmed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yi Yan replied.

"Yan Chongzhi!" Zhong Shan commanded.

"I am here!" Yan Chongzhi stepped forward.

"Yi Yan will handle the eight celestial dynasties. I now assign you to eliminate the four major holy lands around us within two years. The masters of Daming Temple and other hidden experts will follow your orders. You may also mobilize three million elite troops of Great Zheng! Make sure it's done cleanly and efficiently!" Zhong Shan ordered solemnly.

"As you command!" Yan Chongzhi responded.

At that moment, Zhong Shan frowned and looked into the distance.

The ministers followed his gaze to a distant hall.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Celestial Immortal has broken through to the Grand Celestial realm!" Mud Buddha said respectfully.
