Chapter 465 The Six Heavenly Venerables [Seeking monthly votes! Seeking full subscription!]

······

Of course, there are many who have attained the Dao among all races, but a considerable number of them are still dormant in the Land of Dao Origin.

In particular, the Celestial Venerables of various races were almost all in the Land of Dao Origin at this time, controlling the unreleased power of rules within their bodies by sleeping.

However, perhaps sensing the threat posed by the Prison King's lineage, or perhaps just to be on the safe side, the myriad races began to awaken their sleeping Celestial Venerables.

Of course, although it is said to be myriad races, in reality only a few major races possess a Celestial Venerable. The Immortal Race, the God Race, and the Demon Race each have one Celestial Venerable awakened, namely the Dao Celestial Venerable, the Moon Celestial Venerable, and the Mo Celestial Venerable.

In addition, the Underworld Celestial Venerable of the Underworld Clan, the Iron-Eating Clan's San Yue, and the Fate Clan's Tianming Marquis also awakened.

These three were not awakened, but rather startled by the aura of Dao Tianzun and the others.

Before long, someone told them about the Prison King's lineage. After listening, the six Heavenly Venerables had different expressions.

March simply watched with a detached, amused expression. This matter had nothing to do with the Iron-Eating Clan; it didn't care and was content to just watch the show.

Of course, the most important thing is that March is still unaware of what the Prison King did to February, otherwise it would not be in this situation now.

As for what happened, it was naturally the matter of the Prison King killing February and sealing its Great Dao.

Not long ago, Yun Jie and June "joined forces" to unseal this avenue, and now September has inherited it.

Marquis Tianming, on the other hand, remained rather indifferent. He was the kind of person who never showed his emotions, and his expression was so blank that others couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

In fact, Marquis Tianming was also surprised by the existence and appearance of the Prison King lineage, but then he thought that his clan did not intend to fight for supremacy, and this matter had nothing to do with his clan. Therefore, his mentality was not much different from that of March, and he also planned to watch the show.

In contrast, the expressions of Dao Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, Mo Tianzun, and Ming Tianzun were rather unpleasant.

The first three were because the emergence of the Prison King's lineage made them feel threatened; who knows just how much power this lineage actually possesses.

The latter, the Underworld Lord, was worried about the Underworld Clan.

The question remains the same: the territory of the Underworld Clan is closest to Chaos Mountain. If the Prison King's lineage wants to leave the mountain, they must pass through the territory of the Underworld Clan. So, will they allow the Underworld Clan to stand in front of Chaos Mountain?

The answer is no, they definitely won't!

Fortunately, it was discovered early; otherwise, he wouldn't even know when the Underworld Clan was wiped out.

Thinking of this, Ming Tianzun was even more anxious than Dao Tianzun and the others. Without thinking too much, he said, "Fellow Daoists, let's hurry over and take a look. We don't know how much strength this Prison King lineage is hiding."

Mo Tianzun nodded, his eyes narrowed, flashing with a dangerous light, and his tone was icy: "We should take a good look at what this Prison King lineage is all about. If their strength is average, then we should join forces to destroy them!"

Mo Tianzun's words were agreed upon by the others, who all nodded.

Just as Mo Tianzun said, if the Prison King's lineage were not strong, the group of them would have immediately joined forces to wipe them out.

However, if the Prison King's lineage is powerful, they will have to plan carefully, convene a council of all races, unite all forces, and then destroy the Prison King's lineage.

Just like the Prison King's lineage, in their eyes, there are only two forces left in the myriad realms now. As for the human race in the lower realm, they are not worth worrying about. They can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist once the lower realm opens.

Therefore, they don't need to worry about anything.

After saying that, they looked at March and Marquis Tianming and asked, "What do you two think?"

After thinking about it seriously for a moment, March chuckled and said, "I'll stand here and watch."

As it spoke, it revealed a row of large, white teeth.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone stared at it speechlessly. You know what? It's only because you're so strong that we would have killed you long ago!

Then, the group stopped looking at it. After all, it was an iron-eating creature; as long as it didn't cause trouble, they could do whatever they wanted.

Their eyes turned to Marquis Tianming, awaiting his reply.

Marquis Tianming said calmly, "Gentlemen, my clan does not participate in these matters. However... I am quite curious about the lineage of the Prison King, so you can go and take a look. As for taking action, don't expect me to."

Dao Tianzun and the others didn't say anything. As for the Fate Clan, they had remained neutral. They weren't surprised by Tianming Hou's current attitude, but they were still dissatisfied with the outcome.

They call themselves neutral, but in reality they're just opportunists who side with whichever side has a better chance of winning.

Such people, or those with influence, are disliked everywhere they go. Of course, they won't be hated, but at most they'll be disliked.

Besides, if they're unwilling, there's nothing you can do. You can't force them, can you? Otherwise, you'll become their enemy.

None of the three races—immortals, gods, and demons—wanted to be the first villain, so they could only let these neutral races have their way.

Of course, they will try their best to win over any ally they can, as each additional ally increases their chances of victory.

No matter how strong one's own strength is, no one will complain about having too many allies. Even a powerful race like the human race had steadfast allies back then, didn't they? It's just that over the past 100,000 years, many of them have been wiped out.

Therefore, the human race may seem to be surrounded by enemies, but that is not the case. In the past, the human race had many allies, but many of them were wiped out. Others, like the Iron-Eating Clan and the Ancient Hou Clan, were strong and did not easily take sides, which is why they have survived to this day.

"In that case, let's go together. There's no time to lose, let's go now."

Dao Tianzun and the others were somewhat worried about the situation at Chaos Mountain, so they didn't plan to talk any further. Besides, they could talk while traveling.

The reason they didn't leave as soon as they woke up was because they had just recovered and needed some time to adjust, which is why they chatted for a bit longer.

"Um... I'll go take a look too."

At this moment, March spoke again in a silly tone, her expression innocent, naive, and adorable.

Of course, Dao Tianzun and the others wouldn't appreciate it. Their aesthetic sense is different from that of humans. Besides, March is indeed a bit bigger now. It would be better if she were smaller; a small one would be cuter.

The group said irritably, "Go if you want, we can't stop you."

After saying that, the group ignored March. After all, March had her own legs, and they couldn't really do anything about it. Then, they tore through the void and left.

Marquis Tianming, however, turned back and smiled at March before leaving as well.

March scratched the back of its head, rolled its eyes, then grabbed a large bamboo stalk and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With the departure of the six Celestial Venerables, the rules within the Dao Source Land quickly returned to normal.

······

at the same time.

Outside, there is the Broken Sky Gorge.

This is a dangerous place tens of thousands of miles away from Chaos Mountain. It consists of towering cliffs that reach into the clouds, the highest of which are tens of thousands of meters high, hence the name "Heaven-Severing Cliff".

A large flock of Skybirds inhabits this place, most of them possessing the strength of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm. They can be found on every broken wall, densely packed as far as the eye can see.

Among them are several powerful beings comparable to Dao Integration Realm experts. When they travel in groups, they form a continuous line, their strength increasing dramatically. Even Quasi-Kings would find it troublesome to encounter them.

Most importantly, there's no benefit in killing them; it's just a waste of effort. Plus, there aren't many resources in Duantian Gorge, so nobody cares about it, and very few people come here.

After all, there's nothing here except bird droppings.

Currently, Yun Jie, Su Yu, and their group are hiding here. It's a secluded spot with a suitable distance, so they've chosen it as their temporary hideout.

At this moment, they are observing the movements of Chaos Mountain and the entire Upper Realm.

Yun Jie stood with his feet on the ground and his head above the Heavenly Gate, illuminating all directions as he continuously explored.

Suddenly, he chuckled and glanced in the direction of the Dao Source Land. "Haha, interesting."

"what happened?"

Everyone looked over, their faces showing curiosity.

Yun Jie smiled slightly and said, "There's going to be a good show. Some ancient beings from all races have awakened. Just now, six Heavenly Venerables left the Land of Dao Origin and are now heading to Chaos Mountain."

"Six Celestial Venerables!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Could it be that so many Celestial Venerables?

"You think that's too much?" Yun Jie asked.

"Aren't six enough?" the crowd retorted.

Yun Jie shook his head. Although it was somewhat demoralizing, he still said, "No, what is certain is that there are far more than just these Heavenly Venerables among the myriad races. Ten is the minimum, and fifteen is not impossible."

"what?"

Everyone gaped in disbelief. If there really were fifteen Heavenly Venerables, what was the point of fighting?

How many are there on their side? Only one, and it's a suspected case.

Yes, everyone suspects that Wen Yi is a Celestial Venerable, but it has not been confirmed yet. Yun Jie has not admitted it, and Su Yu has not said anything either. Let them guess for themselves.

But what everyone is certain of is that Wen Yi is at least a Heavenly King. After all, he is Wen Wang's man and has even opened the Heavenly Gate. It's impossible that he isn't even a Heavenly King, right?

Therefore, Wen Yi is at least a Heavenly King, that's the minimum, and there's a high probability that he'll become a Heavenly Venerable.

It has not been confirmed yet, so it is suspected.

"What about the Heavenly King? How many?" the crowd asked again, unwilling to give up.

Yun Jie thought for a moment and said, "Not many, it's alright, probably... twenty, thirty, thirty or forty."

"..."

Everyone looked at Yun Jie speechlessly. You call this not much? Is this even acceptable?

Well, it would have been better not to ask. Asking made me feel even worse.

They didn't want to ask about the remaining number of Dao-merging cultivators, nor did they dare to.

Su Yu wasn't so pessimistic. There were still people among the myriad races who could be won over, such as the Iron-Eating Clan, the Life Clan, the Space Ancient Beast Clan, and the Ancient Hou Clan. He was more concerned about who the six Celestial Venerables were.

Although he could also open the Heavenly Gate, firstly, he didn't recognize anyone, and secondly, his strength was still somewhat inferior to that of a Heavenly Venerable. He might be detected if he wasn't careful. Therefore, he directly asked Yun Jie, "Senior Wen Yi, may I ask which six Heavenly Venerables you are?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others looked over as well.

Yun Jie quickly said, "Dao Tianzun of the Immortal Clan, Yue Tianzun of the Divine Clan, Mo Tianzun of the Demon Clan, Ming Tianzun of the Underworld Clan, Tianming Hou of the Fate Clan, and Sanyue of the Iron-Eating Clan. Hmm, they're all familiar faces."

"Does the Iron-Eating Clan have another Celestial Venerable in the Upper Realm?" Everyone turned their gaze to September, who was munching on bamboo.

The tiny September said, "I don't know. There are many things in the Upper Realm that the Lower Realm doesn't know. But it's so good that Ancestor March is still alive! I thought he was dead!"

In September, the thought that March was still alive filled her with joy.

Well, judging from September's appearance, he probably doesn't know anything.

At this moment, Lan Tian said, "So now, will Marquis Tianming and Sanyue also deal with the Prison King's lineage?"
