Chapter 321 Blocking the Road and Drawing Out Fire, Ancestral God Ancestral Dragon

Amidst the surging tide of fortune.

Yu Que's true energy seemed to boil, transforming into clusters of clouds that blended seamlessly with the surrounding fortune, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

His divine sense also expanded wildly to hundreds of miles, approaching a distance of a thousand miles.

Even his seemingly ordinary physical body was like an ice sculpture, full of spiritual energy, and every movement, every breath, was in harmony with the natural world.

Despite these signs, Yu Que remained extremely calm.

He silently breathed in and out, relaxing himself as much as possible, allowing his own Yin spirit, physical body, and inner world to grow strong, while also allowing the five ancestral temples to form a wheel-like scene, protecting him all around.

Their thoughts are like the clouds in the sky, drifting freely and without restraint.

This state is the most considerate and natural, and the most superior method for forming a primordial spirit.

And beneath him.

All the immortals who performed the sacrificial rites, including the emperor who offered incense and the current imperial advisor, stared in shock at Yu Que's figure.

These people now understand who the majestic being they sensed yesterday was—it was none other than Yu Que, who was standing right above them.

"It's actually this person. Didn't he not truly cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm?"

"I thought it was some old monster who secretly cultivated into an immortal, but I didn't expect it to be this kid."

Among the shocked crowd, almost everyone was simply amazed and admiring of Yu Que, with little jealousy.

Given Yu Que's current demeanor, everyone has completely understood what the rumored "Celestial Seed" truly means.

"This person will likely become a true immortal immediately after forming his primordial spirit!"

Because the gap was so vast, even the old immortals in those Daoist palaces couldn't muster any jealousy.

Moreover, because of Yu Que's words just now, a huge amount of incense energy is currently permeating the area and being absorbed into their respective ancestral temples.

Everyone benefited from this, and even those who had been kicked out of the ancestral temple by Yu Que were overjoyed and put aside their grudges.

Only the Emperor of Incense Offerings and the Imperial Preceptor looked at the rich incense energy on the scene, their faces grim, their hearts bleeding.

"My destiny! This is all my destiny."

The Emperor of Incense's face was contorted with rage, his heart roaring with rage, wishing he could immediately issue an order for everyone present not to collect even a single strand.

Fortunately, he still retained a sliver of reason, suppressing his anger, and asked the imperial advisor beside him:

"Has that scoundrel surnamed Yu already seen through our scheme? Otherwise, why did he seize the fortune of the Five Temples before us?!"

It turns out that the big plan they were plotting was to take advantage of the many candidates offering sacrifices to Heaven and the manifestation of the Five Temples, and use the dragon energy of the dynasty to forcibly leave the Five Ancestral Temples on the Temple of Heaven.

At that time, the two of them will be able to personally reside in the ancestral temple and use the dragon energy to refine the incense and fortune accumulated in the five ancestral temples over thousands of years.

With so much incense and energy as resources, the two of them will surely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in one go, and may even become true immortals on the spot, and promote some disciples, just like those two old guys overseas.

As for the consequences, they would only incur the resentment of all the Daoist temples in the world, and might lead to the destruction of the Five Ancestral Temples, causing the Five Temples Formation established at the beginning of the dynasty to vanish into thin air.

Even if the dynasty lives for another thousand years and becomes a celestial dynasty, or even eliminates the scattered cultivators overseas, the Five Ancestral Temples will certainly no longer be located in the capital.

Such consequences benefit only the two individuals but harm future generations.

However, given the current era of great strife and the emergence of powerful enemies overseas, they had no choice but to resort to such unjust acts out of desperation.

They believed that future generations would understand them.

However, the current situation suggests that the bold schemes of the Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor are likely to fail.

Suddenly, the Imperial Preceptor, having composed himself, spoke:
"That's not necessarily true. If this person knew about our plans, given his personality, he would have kept us out."

The current situation is more likely that this fellow has also set his sights on the Five Temples' fortune; he's simply gotten there before us.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Incense thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the most likely possibility.

He was even more furious: "How hateful! How dare this scoundrel be so audacious? Not only did he dare to tamper with things in the ancestral temple, but he was also so audacious as to plot against the fortune of the five ancestral temples!"

Hatred surged in the Emperor's mind, and he immediately thought of ruining Yu Que's good deed.

However, the Imperial Preceptor, who was standing to the side, seemed to have anticipated the man's thoughts and immediately shook his head to stop him.

"This person possesses a primordial spirit weapon for protection, which cannot be destroyed; we can only outsmart him."

The imperial advisor immediately offered a series of words of advice: "Moreover, he is already in the midst of destiny. Even if we forcibly intervene to disrupt it, we may not be able to ruin his good fortune."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Incense Gritted His Teeth and said, "So, we can only watch him ascend to immortality on the spot, and we can't do anything about it?"

The imperial advisor shook his head: "No, no. He can refine his own, and we can refine ours."

A sneer also appeared on the face of the current imperial advisor: "Moreover, with this person in front of us, we can completely shift the blame for the loss of fortune onto him."

These words greatly disturbed the Emperor, who immediately said, "Please, Grand Preceptor, explain in detail!"

Immediately, the two of them engaged in a mental discussion and had a good talk.

According to the current imperial advisor, since they could not prevent Yu Que's breakthrough, they should take the opportunity to share the spoils and prevent the other party from directly manifesting the Five Ancestral Temples on the ground.

At that time, the two of them used the pretext of unusual activities at the five temples to personally sit in the Temple of Heaven, controlling the flow of energy and inhaling and exhaling it into their respective ancestral temples.

In this way, as long as they receive enough of the ancestral temple's fortune, Yu Que will suffer a loss, which may interfere with Yu Que's breakthrough.

Although Yu Que's breakthrough to immortality is a foregone conclusion given his current momentum, his chances of becoming a true immortal will inevitably be greatly reduced.

By then, even if the other party realizes what's happening, they might harbor resentment.

Yu Que has become an immortal, but the other two have also become immortals. They are all at the primordial spirit realm, so no one should be afraid of anyone!

"This plan is excellent!" The Emperor of Incense nodded.

The imperial advisor looked pleased, revealing an expression that said, "This child is teachable."

After exchanging glances, the two immediately stepped forward and issued orders to the other immortals on the Altar of Heaven:
"Dear candidates and immortals, do not panic! With His Majesty and I here to protect this place, there will be no disaster."

"I will now work with the Imperial Preceptor to manifest the Five Ancestral Temples on the Temple of Heaven, so that you will not miss out on the great rewards you deserve."

These words surprised both the examinees and the immortals around them.

Thousands of gazes immediately fell upon the Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor.

"What exactly are these two trying to do? Could they be trying to ruin Yu Que's plans?" Many of the old immortals were not simple people, and they all began to speculate.

The other candidates from the immortal sects were not unsophisticated either, and they all had their doubts.

The examinees from Huangshan Taoist Temple turned pale on the spot.

They didn't even bother to draw upon the auspicious energy of the incense offerings around them, and immediately began shouting sternly:

"How dare you! I, the Master of the Huangshan Judicial Palace, am currently breaking through to immortality. What are you trying to do?!" "Grand Preceptor, Your Majesty, please postpone this matter. My Supreme Master Huang is currently breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."

However, the emperor and the imperial advisor turned a deaf ear to their words.

Without any further communication, all of Huangshan's dozens of disciples turned their attention to interrogating the current imperial advisor and the emperor.

Gong Dongxue and the others immediately took out their magical artifacts, their killing intent surging as they pointed directly at the two.

Faced with the coercion of the immortals of Huangshan, the Emperor of Incense Offerings was furious and was about to rebuke them.

The current imperial advisor bowed and said, "I urge Your Majesty to continue presiding over the grand sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, and not to let irrelevant people ruin the important affairs of the nation."

These people from the Huangshan Taoist temple will be appeased by our sect.”

The Emperor then withdrew his gaze, only looking up to see, and invoked the imperial dragon's energy.

The Imperial Preceptor of the reigning dynasty waved his sleeve, and a blood-red magic weapon flew out from his hand, rushing towards the disciples of Huangshan Dao Palace, instantly trapping them inside.

"The affairs of the nation are of paramount importance and should not be interfered with. Fellow Daoists, please remain calm and wait."

With her half-step Nascent Soul power, Gong Dongxue and the others were powerless to fight back.

This scene immediately caused a stir among those around them.

Nearly half of the old immortals in the Dao Palace were also indignant: "At this time of great war overseas, if immortals can break through to immortality, it will be a blessing for our Central Plains. Grand Preceptor, do you really intend to interfere?"

However, the other half of the Taoist immortals, watching the Five Ancestral Temples slowly descend under the command of the Incense Emperor, were all filled with restless desire. Because of their greed for the fortune within the Five Ancestral Temples, they immediately chose to remain silent.

Faced with the opposition of half the crowd and the indifference of the rest, the Imperial Preceptor narrowed his eyes and immediately spoke:
"What's wrong? You all don't want to cultivate in the Five Directions Ancestral Temple? Could it be that your immortal disciples are also unwilling?"

These words left the righteous Dao Palace elders speechless, and they couldn't help but look at their respective Ning Sha Immortals.

Although they were indignant that people in the imperial court had done such a despicable thing, they did have to think carefully when it came to their own interests.

In an instant, nearly half of the Dao Palaces chose to ignore it.

Of the 107 Daoist palaces present, only about one-third ultimately chose to continue speaking:
"This is inappropriate, and the White House does not approve of it!"

"My Chicheng Dao Palace is also unwilling to ruin Fellow Daoist Yu's opportunity!"

Some of the Daoist palaces, led by the Refining Qi Immortals, chose to ignore the situation, but their subordinates, the Condensing Qi Immortals, were clever and righteous, and they all spoke up.

This situation, witnessed by the people of Huangshan, left them both heartbroken and moved.

Since Gong Dongxue and the others had no way to intervene, they could only make a note of everyone who had spoken up for justice.

Faced with the fact that a third of the Daoist temples still held negative opinions, the current imperial preceptor's expression changed slightly. He could only signal to the emperor beside him with his eyes and transmit his voice:

"Your Majesty should act quickly. I have also sent a message to Marquis Tiance, instructing him to use the energy of the dragon vein to support us."

To avoid any unforeseen complications!

"can."

So, before anyone in the arena could force a coup, the two of them forcibly activated the dragon's energy.

The incense-burning emperor shouted: "Five ancestral temples, heed my decree and quickly reveal your forms."

The imperial advisor pointed to the ground and said, "Good disciple, quickly lend us a hand."

With a whoosh, a roar rang out!

A massive dragon aura surged from all directions, especially from the ground, forming chains.

The chains rattled as they reached into the sky, extending to the left and right of the Five Ancestral Temples, where they bound them securely.

Driven by the two, the dragon energy chains tightened, and the Five Ancestral Temples were thus forcibly pulled and tugged, turning from illusion into reality, and falling towards the Temple of Heaven.

This situation left Huang Shan and the others utterly astonished, and some of the immortals who were unhappy about it looked on with suspicion.

How dare you all do such a thing!

Hearing the drumming noise all around, the emperor, who was in charge of offering incense, could no longer restrain himself.

This person shouted angrily:

"All land under heaven belongs to the king. Why should you have a say in my actions?"

He also instructed the imperial advisor beside him: "Anyone who objects is forbidden from entering the temple. The rest may come with us to the temple to cultivate!"

These words elicited mixed reactions from the thousands of immortals present: some were delighted, some were angry, and some hesitated.

Rumble!
Finally, the Five Ancestral Temples were successfully completed.

An even stronger aura of incense filled the venue, making the place shine with golden light, as if everyone were in the sun.

The two, the Emperor of Incense Offering and the Imperial Preceptor, were both overjoyed as they inhaled the rich aura of incense offerings.

So the two of them stopped paying attention to the people around them and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, releasing the ancestral temple in their spiritual altars, which hovered around and absorbed the fortune of the ancestral temples in all directions.

But just as they were enjoying their meal, with a whoosh, more chains jumped out from all directions and continued to bind the Five Ancestral Temples.

These chains, still formed from dragon energy, instantly bound the wide-open gates of the Five Ancestral Temples tightly, thus cutting off the outward flow of the temples' fortune.

This sudden turn of events made everyone look up at the sky, but they quickly realized that it was not caused by Yu Que's intervention.

Two shouts of surprise and anger rang out in the center of the Temple of Heaven:

"You brat, what are you doing!"

A soft laugh echoed from underground: "Godfather, teacher, why are you in such a hurry?"

"If you want to break through, you'll have to wait until I do first."

Then, something even more astonishing happened.

Not only were there strange occurrences in the heavens, but Yu Que's vast divine consciousness also spread for nearly a thousand miles, causing the earth to tremble and the massive imperial capital city to shake violently.

Roar!
A colossal dragon-shaped structure, formed from dragon energy, slowly rose from beneath the capital city, its imposing presence mirroring that of Yu Que's massive humanoid form high in the sky.

This unexpected turn of events even drew attention to Yu Que, who was in the process of making a breakthrough.

He couldn't help but look down from high above.

The enormous dragon in the capital city also happened to raise its head and look up at him.

"Interesting, do you wish to transform into the Ancestral Dragon?"

"Interesting. You wish to cultivate yourself into an Ancestral God?"

The two voices, like thunder, echoed for miles and could be heard even tens of thousands of miles away.
