The Lord of Heaven asked

Chapter 97 Yuan Wentian's Decision
There are many versions of what happened during the glorious period at the end of the mythological era that have been passed down to this day.

However, the most mainstream view is that when on the road to becoming an immortal, the Supreme turned against the Emperor in order to enter the fairyland and shattered the Emperor's hope of becoming an immortal.

Many people believed that Yuanshi Tianzun and others betrayed the Emperor, cutting off the hope of Heaven and the Emperor to become immortals.

"Brother Yuan, we are trying to find the whereabouts of Yuanshi Tianzun. Although the villain doesn't have any enlightened people to protect him, he has been elusive. I beg you to help me find him!"

Jin Guang said excitedly that if they wanted to kill the aging Yuanshi Tianzun, they had to find his location first.

As the successor of the Lord of Morality, the Xuanhuang Holy Land is not only extremely powerful, but also possesses one of the most terrifying weapons in the world, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

If the Heavenly Palace wants to kill Yuanshi Tianzun, it is not enough to rely solely on the Chengxian Cauldron. It also needs other items that can hurt the Supreme or can unleash the Supreme's divine power.

When the golden light came to the Xuanhuang Holy Land, several elders of the Heavenly Palace decided to bring the Xuanhuang Holy Land into the game.

Although the heaven in the mythological era was extremely glorious and had many supreme beings in charge, those supreme beings became the culprits that led to the destruction of heaven.

In addition, due to the great war at the end of the epoch-making period, many supreme artifacts in the hands of the Heavenly Palace were destroyed. Today, the Heavenly Palace cannot even gather a few decent supreme artifacts.

The elders of the Heavenly Palace gave the order for the major generals of the Heavenly Palace to go out and look for those Taoist sects that had been on good terms with the Heavenly Court at the end of the mythological era, in order to seek their Heavenly Taoist soldiers to carry out the layout.

The first thing they thought of was the Taoist tradition passed down by Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun.

A descendant of the Lord of Dao and Morality, he was one of the elders of the Heavenly Court in the late mythological era and the right-hand man of the Emperor. He made a lot of efforts in the establishment of the Heavenly Court.

Even now, the Xuanhuang Holy Land is on good terms with the Heavenly Palace cultivators, so they sought out Xuanhuang's body, hoping that Yuan Wentian could participate in the battle to besiege and kill Yuanshi Tianzun.

In addition, what they sought was the Taoist tradition of Lingbao Tianzun. The sword formation forged by Lingbao Tianzun was said to have been used to slay immortals in the mythological era.

It even shone brightly in the devastating war at the end of the mythological era. A big part of the reason why the Emperor failed on the verge of success was because of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

However, no matter how many calculations the cultivators in the Heavenly Palace made, they did not expect that the Xuanhuang Holy Land would be so close to Yuanshi Tianzun today.

Not long ago, Yuanshi Tianzun had just refined a Tianzun Dao weapon for them. If they attack Yuanshi Tianzun in the future, Ye Xiu would not have to kill them.

The Tianzun Dao soldiers that Ye Xiu refined for him will also be used to attack the Xuanhuang Holy Land as soon as possible.

Moreover, Ye Xiu’s descendant Luo Lingxi is the core disciple of their Xuanhuang Holy Land and is regarded as the person who will lead the Xuanhuang Holy Land to glory in the future.

Therefore, the Xuanhuang Holy Land would not take action against Ye Xiu under any circumstances.

"Brother Dao, what are you still hesitating about? Have you forgotten how your ancestors fell?"

"If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun and the others, you would have entered the fairyland long ago and wouldn't have to worry about your life span anymore!"

Seeing that Yuan Wentian was still hesitating, Jin Guang spoke hurriedly.

"Brother Dao, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request. This matter is too risky. I can't gamble with the inheritance of the Holy Land!"

"As for the grievances and grudges at the end of the mythological era, let them go with the wind!"

Yuan Wentian sighed, and then said as if he had let go of something.

Together with Tiangong and the others, he avenged Yuanshi Tianzun, which was a matter of certain death. Tiangong's plan was originally impossible to succeed, so how could he seek his own death and put the future of Xuanhuang Holy Land on it?

And, the most important point is, because of Luo Lingxi's existence, Ye Xiu is destined to come to the Xuanhuang Holy Land again.

With Ye Xiu's means, he will definitely be aware of Tiangong's plan. By that time, before Tiangong takes any action, Ye Xiu will be wiped out of Tiangong before he reaches old age.

Yuan Wentian would never agree to such a self-destructive thing.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Yuanshi Tianzun was in his old age and they attacked and killed him, even if they succeeded by chance, they would definitely suffer unimaginable casualties.

People who are on the verge of death are the most dangerous, let alone an extremely ancient Heavenly Lord.

With the appeal of the Heavenly Palace, it might be possible to attract more than ten quasi-sages who are about to achieve enlightenment, as well as several supreme artifacts.

Perhaps he could launch a fatal blow at the critical moment when Yuanshi Tianzun was about to make a judgment, but he might not be able to kill Yuanshi Tianzun on the spot.

Even if a fatal blow caused irreparable damage to Yuanshi Tianzun, they themselves would not be able to survive.

Several elders of the Heavenly Palace have lived long enough and are naturally not afraid of death. Moreover, the Heavenly Palace has successors who can continue to carry the banner of the Heavenly Palace.

As for the Xuanhuang Holy Land, although it has outstanding geniuses like Luo Lingxi, he is, after all, the descendant of Yuanshi Tianzun.

If they were to take part in the battle to besiege and kill Yuanshi Tianzun, it would inevitably lead to a rift between Luo Lingxi and the Xuanhuang Holy Land.

Moreover, he didn't think he could escape unscathed from Yuanshi Tianzun's dying counterattack.

Once he dies, it will be a fatal blow to the Xuanhuang Holy Land.

Yuanshi Tianzun is not alone in the world. Not to mention the Miluo Palace deep in the universe, even the contemporary enlightened One, the Immortal Emperor, is his disciple.

If they really surrounded and killed Yuanshi Tianzun, it would definitely provoke revenge from the Immortal Divine Dynasty and the Miluo Palace.

By then, the Heavenly Palace will continue to break up into pieces and wander around the universe, and their Xuanhuang Holy Land will have only one choice: total destruction.

"Fellow Daoist, this opportunity is rare. Don't you want to avenge your ancestors?"

"Although the possibility is slim, there is always a glimmer of hope. As long as we unite, we can magnify this glimmer of hope infinitely."

"Combining the strength of our families and adding the Immortal Cauldron, we will surely succeed!"

Hearing Yuan Wentian’s refusal, Jin Guang became a little anxious and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Absolutely impossible. Brother Dao, you in the Heavenly Palace are here to avenge your past hopes and regrets, so you will naturally do your best. I won't stop you, but my Xuanhuang Holy Land will not join you either!"

Yuan Wentian's attitude was very firm. When they accepted to become disciples of their Xuanhuang Holy Land, they had already made their choice. It was naturally impossible for them to stay on the same boat with the Heavenly Palace until the end.

Judging from Ye Xiu's actions, he will definitely leave enough backup plans to ensure his success when he undergoes Nirvana.

There is a high possibility that a tight net has been set up in the place where Ye Xiu is in seclusion. Even if they find Ye Xiu's seclusion place, it is impossible for them to kill Ye Xiu silently.
