Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 520 Authority
On the Immortal Execution Platform, Xing Chi laughed loudly and was still arrogant.

Below the Immortal Execution Platform, the cultivators watched and discussed the matter.

"This killer monk Xingchi is the Five Tribulations Demon Lord, and his strength is extraordinary."

"From what he said, it seems that he has cultivated the body of a Buddha or a demon, an indestructible body of diamond."

"This Immortal Slaying Platform is only a top-grade immortal weapon. Can it be used to behead him?"

"A top-grade immortal weapon is only at the seventh level, but the Five Tribulations Demon Lord is at the ninth level!"

"The difference between the two realms is more than just a chasm of heaven. It would be fine if the Wandao Lord was here. He might be able to be killed under the suppression of the Taoism. But now... there is not even a Tribulation Immortal on this Immortal Beheading Platform!"

Seeing that the execution was approaching, the killer monk Xing Chi was still arrogant and fearless, which made the cultivators secretly suspicious.

On the Immortal Execution Platform, the law enforcement officer remained expressionless. After reading the file, he threw the command arrow.

"Execution!"

As soon as the command arrow fell, two golden-armored generals with Mahayana cultivation immediately took action, pressed Xingchi on the guillotine, and handcuffed his limbs with torture instruments. He rested his head on the guillotine, and lay in a spread-eagle position on the beheading platform.

But facing the cold blade hanging high above, he remained calm and shouted, "Come on, come on, let's see whether your guillotines are sharper or my indestructible body is stronger, hahahahahaha!"

To this statement, the cultivators on the stage did not make any response. The golden-armored general retreated, and the law enforcement officer remained silent.

Only one sound...

"Boom!"

Thunder roared suddenly, lightning struck suddenly, landing on the execution platform, destroying the indestructible bodies of Buddha and demons.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, flames splashed everywhere, Xingchi's body shook, and Buddhist energy and demonic currents surged within him. Three lights appeared on the top of his head, and five meridians were seen in his chest. These were the results of the joint practice of Buddha and Demon, and the realm of calamity.

As the Five Tribulations Demon Lord, even if he is a prisoner, bound by the shackles of Taoism and heavily suppressed, it is difficult to change his nature as a Tribulations Demon Lord. As long as the three flowers on the top of his head are not extinguished and the five qi in his chest are not eliminated, it is difficult for ordinary people to kill him.

Although this Immortal Execution Platform is an extraordinary item, it is only a top-grade immortal weapon. It is impossible, if not a pipe dream, to kill the Five Tribulations Demon Lord who is indestructible and practices both Buddhism and magic.

That is why Xingchi is so arrogant and fearless.

however……

"Hoohoo!"

Amid the sound of thunder, on the Immortal-Slaying Platform, bolts of lightning roared down and landed on the bodies of the Buddha and the demon, causing the three lights on the top of their heads to flicker and the five meridians in their chests to waver. The merits of the calamity realm that had not yet been realized were now like candles in the wind.

The truth is uncertain and the situation is obscure!
"This……"

"How is that possible!"

"what!!!!"

Before everyone could recover from the shock, they heard a scream. It was the murderous monk Xingchi, his eyes wide open with anger and a look of resentment.

"Li Liuxian, you..."

"cut!!!"

Before he could finish his words, he was cut off by an order, and the guillotine fell with a clanging sound.

"puff!!!"

With a muffled sound, golden blood splashed, like sticky mercury, and fell on the Immortal Execution Platform, with Buddhist energy and demonic currents evaporating.

A head, with a distorted face full of resentment and anger, fell into the jade basin without a sound.

The killer monk Xingchi and the Five Tribulations Demon Lord died.

On the Immortal Execution Platform, there was another soul from the calamity realm. The blood of Buddha and the devil seeped into the platform, adding an even more ferocious and murderous aura.

The law-enforcing heavenly soldiers came up to the stage, collected the corpse of the evil monk, and made everything clean. The Buddha's and the devil's blood, which was as sticky as mercury, dissolved on its own and was submerged in the guillotine's blade.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, all the practitioners were speechless, but they were unable to put it into words.

Although countless lives have been killed on the Immortal Execution Platform over the years due to the Wandao Academy, from immortals and Buddhas in the realm of calamity, demon gods and devil lords, to those who have achieved the great unity of the Mahayana and returned to the void to become gods, all those who have crossed the line have been brought here for legal punishment, but killing a Five Tribulations Demon Lord is the first time in the world.

There are two reasons for this. First, it is difficult to capture someone in the Tribulation Realm, let alone the Five Tribulations, Nine Tribulations and Three Levels. Xing Chi is a Five Tribulations Venerable, which is already in the upper-middle level in the Tribulation Realm. It is not easy to defeat him, let alone capture him alive.

The second is that it is difficult to kill those in the Tribulation Realm. As mentioned before, the status of the Five Tribulations Venerable is extraordinary. If the Lord of Ten Thousand Daos personally holds the Nine-Ring Heavenly Sword, then there is nothing to say. But how can the Five Tribulations Demon Venerable be killed with just this Immortal Execution Platform?

Therefore, before today, no Five Tribulations Venerable had shed blood on the Immortal Beheading Platform, and those who were beheaded were basically new Venerables who were below the third level and in the first or second tribulation realm.

But now...

"Then the Lord of Ten Thousand Daos..."

“One step further!”

"Not only did he capture a Five Tribulations Demon Lord alive, but he also brought him to the Immortal Execution Platform to be executed."

"Just now, under the thunder, there seemed to be the mechanism of yin and yang, the principle of the five elements, and the creation restricted the three flowers and five qi of the devil monk, causing his merits and achievements in the calamity realm to vanish into thin air and he was beheaded."

"Is it a method of formation or a magical skill?"

"Whether it's formations or magical powers, being able to control the three flowers and five qi and make the Dao fruit become empty, this ability shows..."

"Then the Wan Dao Lord has entered the Tribulation Realm?!"

The cultivators came back to their senses and looked at each other in shock.

"Even if we haven't entered yet, we're not far away!"

“The Master of Ten Thousand Daos is extremely gifted, talented, and has great luck. With his divine creation and the Nine-Yi Sword, his Mahayana body can rival the Nine Tribulations True Immortal. If he can go one step further…”

"It's not just because of the Wan Dao Lord, this Immortal Slaying Platform is also extraordinary."

"Since the covenant between the Wandao Academy and the Heavenly Court three thousand years ago and Quan Yu's ascension, how many cultivators' lives have been taken by this Immortal Slaying Platform?"

“Although this platform is only a top-grade immortal weapon, it was made by the Master of Ten Thousand Daos, and became a way of killing in the name of beheading immortals. If it accumulates over time, it will eventually be promoted to a top-grade immortal weapon, or even a ninth-level immortal treasure.”

"It's more than just a fairy treasure. This Wandao Academy has the power to control the ascension, patrol the heavens, capture the earthly immortals, demons, and evil cultivators from all walks of life, and convict them according to the laws of the academy and the laws of the heavenly court. Over time, this will surely become the iron law of human hearts and the law of heaven!"

"Isn't this the Jiuyi Tianzun Law?"

“He used the Jiuyi Tianzun method to replace the merits of the Heavenly Dao with the laws of human hearts, and used this method to refine the Ascension Platform. Once successful, his Wandao Academy will have another treasure to suppress the Dao. He can then push the Tiangong Creation Method to the eighth level, and use it as the hub to build an Immortal Slaying Mecha. I’m afraid even the Nine Tribulations True Immortals will have to retreat.”

"Wolf ambitions, wolf ambitions!"

"The Jade Emperor is confused, the Jade Emperor is confused!"

"Since ancient times, fame and power cannot be borrowed from others, but he handed over such power of life and death to Wandao Academy, allowing him to ascend to heaven and patrol the heavens. Isn't this raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Daos is not a creature in the pond, how could he be willing to be inferior to others?"

"Now that he is not strong enough, he will be one of the six emperors of heaven, holding the power of life and death. When he advances to the calamity realm and becomes a true immortal, who will be the master and ruler of heaven and the immortal world?"

"..."

On the Immortal Execution Platform, the punishment has been completed, but the evil spirit still lingers.

Even in the audience, everyone was talking in a shocking manner.

Such and such...

A few months later, Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Blue phoenixes and white cranes lined up the ladder to heaven, and auspicious light and auspicious air entered the sky. The South Gate of Heaven was made of deep green colored glaze and decorated with bright precious jade. On both sides were several heavenly marshals, and around them were hundreds of golden-armored gods.

The Lingxiao Palace has jade doors with golden nails and colorful phoenixes dancing on the red gates. It is exquisitely decorated everywhere, with dragons and phoenixes flying in the sky. All the immortals are lined up in groups, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Lord.

It is the time of the grand ceremony in heaven that takes place once every hundred years.

Another ten thousand years has passed, and the Tongtian Secret Realm is about to open. It is even more solemn and dignified, with all the immortals from the four poles and six departments gathering together.

I saw the tall and mighty Jade Emperor sitting in the Lingxiao Palace of the Jinque Cloud Palace. Under the palace, there were six rows of ministers: one row for the Emperor, another row for the Four Assistants, another row for the ministers from the Earth Realm, and another row for the Fengdu Dragon Palace. In this way, the six rows of ministers all paid homage to the Jade Emperor.

On the throne, the Jade Emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the ministers, with a gloomy look on his brow.

To be honest, he didn't want to go to this dynasty, but he had to!
Helpless! Helpless!
The Jade Emperor did not speak, only his attendants and the spiritual official announced: "If you have anything to say, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court!"

"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

Before he finished speaking, a man stepped out. It was the Immortal Lord of the Tribulation Realm.

The Jade Emperor glanced at him, feeling even more helpless, and asked calmly, "What do you want to report, Mr. Zhang?"

The Immortal Lord of the Tribulation Realm was also straightforward: "I joined the Wandao Academy and used my power for personal gain. I took advantage of the opportunity to slay demons and monsters to seize the foundation of my Huiming Sect!"

"..."

Such words were so straightforward and to the point that the Jade Emperor was speechless.

This Immortal Lord of the Tribulation Realm is none other than Patriarch Huiming.

It was reasonable and expected that he stood up.

The Jade Emperor said nothing, just glanced.

Afterwards, the Palace Master of Longevity came out calmly.

"Your Majesty, I have a basis for this matter."

"Oh?"

The Jade Emperor said calmly: "Then present them together."

"Yes!"

The two men responded and submitted a memorial together, which was handed over to the attending spiritual officer and then passed to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor took one look and shook his head. He said to the Huiming Patriarch: "According to what Mei Qing said, the Wandao Academy did not overstep its authority in this matter. On the contrary, your family, as the Huiming Patriarch, was not aware of the chaos in the lower world. You are indeed responsible for failing to supervise the situation properly!"

"I, your humble servant, failed to discipline and supervise properly, which led to the suffering of the lower realms, countless casualties, and I cannot escape responsibility. I am willing to take the blame and leave it to Your Majesty to deal with me!"

"but……"

The Huiming Patriarch did not shirk responsibility and took the blame frankly. He then spoke sternly, "Just because I am guilty does not mean that the Wandao Academy can occupy the lower world privately. The Huiming world is the foundation of our Dao lineage. Even if I am guilty, this world should be incorporated into the public domain and directly governed by the Heavenly Court. How can the Wandao Academy occupy it privately?"

"This……"

The Jade Emperor groaned, turned his gaze, and looked at the Palace Master of the Star of Longevity: "What do you think, Mei Qing?"

"I think, Master Huiming, what you said is wrong!"

The Lord of Shouxing Palace shook his head and said, "The Huiming Realm is plagued by demons. If the Wandao Academy had not acted in time to wipe out the evil, this realm would have been occupied by demons. This time, the Wandao Academy is not trying to seize the foundation of the Huiming Dao, but to take back a realm from the demons. According to the rules of heaven, this realm should belong to them."

"nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a stern shout, and the Huiming Patriarch stepped forward: "He is the Wandao Academy, in control of the Ascension Platform, and has the responsibility to monitor the heavens. He noticed the turmoil in Huiming, but did not report it to the Heavenly Court. Instead, he took the initiative to use weapons and occupied the foundation of Huiming. This is not only abusing power for personal gain, but also suspected of usurping power and a crime of self-respect!"

The Palace Master of Shouxing did not change his expression. "The Wandao Academy has the power to control the Ascension Platform and inspect the demons in all realms. We have the right to kill first and report later. After all, the court meeting in the Heavenly Court is held every hundred years. We can't delay it until today and then ask for an order to mobilize the troops, right?"

"In addition, Master Wan Dao is one of the Six Imperial Lords and has the power to mobilize troops and enforce the law. How can he abuse his power for personal gain and overstep his authority? What Master Huiming said is nothing short of an absurd attack!"

"you……!"

Patriarch Huiming paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the Jade Emperor: "Wandao Academy, you have been acting like this for a long time. Ever since Wandao Lord took control of the Ascension Platform three thousand years ago, there have been many demons causing chaos in the lower world. Wandao Academy has relied on this to gain respect and expand itself, which shows that it is not loyal."

"Besides, it is not just me who has had my foundation taken away. How many of you present here, the immortals, have been deceived by him?"

"I also ask your majesty to look into this matter and take back the authority of the Wandao Academy to control the ascension and inspect the heavens!"

After saying this, he bowed down, as if he was making a desperate remonstrance.

For an Immortal Lord of the Tribulation Realm to achieve such a level, it can be seen how strong his heart is.

As soon as Patriarch Huiming bowed, several people from among the six ministers stood up, all of them were masters of the calamity realm.

"Master Huiming, what you said is absolutely true!"

"The Wandao Academy has already shown signs of usurping power, which is a sign of disloyalty!"

"Your Majesty, please take back the power of the Ten Thousand Daos Patrol and Ascension!"

"The lower world has suffered for a long time in the Wandao Academy..."

Several Tribulation Immortals gave advice in unison, and then a group of Mahayana Bodhisattvas came out and said the same thing.

"..."

On the throne, the Jade Emperor was also troubled when he saw this.

Three thousand years ago, he went to the south in person and made peace with the Wandao Venerable. He also made an alliance between the academy and the heaven, exchanging the power of law enforcement in the lower world for heavenly creations and fairy mechas.

The result was out of control, the Wandao Academy took massive action, sweeping across the heavens and worlds, slaying demons and eliminating monsters, but it also affected many interests, causing the major immortal sects in the earthly world to complain bitterly.

This world of darkness and light is not the first, and I'm afraid it won't be the last.

The various sects could not tolerate this, which is why this happened today.

All the major sects and the lords of the universe came together to give advice.

What to do?

If he really has the power of an emperor and can decide everything with a single word, then needless to say, he will follow the trend to maintain the balance of the court.

After all, the demands of the major immortal and divine sects were not high. They only wanted to take back the authority of the Wandao Academy to control the ascension platform. They did not go any further and accuse or hold anyone accountable, let alone challenge the Wandao Lord.

But... he doesn't have the authority!
He is only the Jade Emperor, not the King of Thailand. He has the title of Heavenly Lord, but not the reality.

Furthermore, the authority to control the Ascension Platform was not granted to the Wan Dao Academy by Heaven, but was an alliance between Heaven and the Academy. How could the cooperation around "Heavenly Creations" be unilaterally torn up? Do you really think that the Wan Dao Lord is easy to talk to?
Everyone knows that raising a tiger will bring harm. The problem is that this tiger was raised thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. Now the situation is set. Do you want to break off relations?
When the time comes, the old story of Nanzhan will happen again. Will you bear the infamy of going back on your word and the consequences of a war between the two sides, or will I bear it?

The Jade Emperor was helpless and could say nothing.

At this moment, a servant came over and spoke in a low voice.

"Um!?"

The Jade Emperor's eyes fixed, and then he stood up: "The court meeting is temporarily suspended!"

After saying this, he turned around and left the hall without paying attention to the reactions of the ministers.

"Queen!"

Let’s not talk about what happened in the outer palace for now. When the Jade Emperor came to the inner palace, he saw the Taoist couple waiting inside the palace.

Seeing him coming, Queen Jade said nothing more and directly held out the ancient mirror: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"

"Um!?"

The Jade Emperor lowered his head and looked down, only to see disaster clouds and thunder in the ancient mirror.

It is...the land of Nanzhan!
