Chapter 572: Chapter 571: The Celestial Court’s Ascension Is Imminent, the Seats Have Their Victor!

"What is down there, after all?"

As the River Map and Luo Book returned to the Sea Eye with the Donghuang Bell, the quasi-saints watching couldn’t help but frown.

The North Sea, being the oldest sea in existence, has always puzzled the powerful beings of the Upper Realm about what its Sea Eye connects to.

In the records of ancient history, there have been quasi-saints who attempted to investigate.

But either they couldn’t traverse the Sea Eye,

or once they entered, they never came back out.

It seems to be able to devour everything in the world, exuding endless mystery and majesty.

Precisely because of this.

The Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints emerged from the other side of the Sea Eye, appearing in this world.

This shocked the strong ones of the current era, making it feel unbelievable!

"Is this considered a signal?"

"Can the Sea Eye of the North Sea be explored from now on?"

A quasi-saint whispered, feeling a surge of impulse to investigate but also fearing ending up like the predecessors who never returned.

"The River Map and Luo Book, Donghuang Bell, two Innate Sacred Weapons, both entered the Sea Eye..."

"This is truly an irresistible temptation..."

Some quasi-saints were eager to try, wanting to seize a grand opportunity.

Of course, regardless of their thoughts.

At this moment, no quasi-saint dared to rashly venture below the Sea Eye.

Not to mention the battle for sainthood, which has not yet ended.

The Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints have not left yet!

"What plans do you have, everyone?"

Venerable Emperor Chong’en spoke, looking vigilantly at the Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints.

"They don’t have Supreme Yang Qi, they won’t compete for this seat."

Mencius said, appearing much calmer than Venerable Emperor Chong’en, who was on guard.

Bai Ze looked at Mencius, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, then said to Venerable Emperor Chong’en, "This matter is over, we should go and reorganize the Demon Race Celestial Court."

"As for the Sage Seat..."

He glanced briefly at the towering Celestial Dao Gate above, then said casually, "Congratulations to the two of you in advance."

Having said this, Bai Ze didn’t linger any longer, stepping on clouds and turning towards the Northern Immortal Realm.

The remaining nine Demon Race Great Saints, also exuding immense demonic energy, left with Bai Ze in an elegant fashion.

Over the North Sea, soon only Venerable Emperor Chong’en and Mencius were left.

One held the Celestial Book, and the other held the Saint’s Book.

After a brief exchange of glances, they began the final struggle for victory.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Great Qin Celestial Court.

Within the black Star Realm, Ying Zheng perceived the heavenly secrets and became aware of the situation in the North Sea.

"To think that the once-mighty Lord of the Demon Race Celestial Court ended up like this."

Ying Zheng sighed.

Although he no longer regards the Demon Ancestor as a threat, it must be said that in the thirty-some-thousand years following the Journey to the West Calamity, both the Demon Ancestor and the East Buddha from the Western Heaven have always been notable adversaries for Great Qin!

But now.

The East Buddha’s whereabouts are unknown.

The Demon Ancestor has perished in the North Sea. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Of the three former leaders of the triadic standoff, only Ying Zheng remains.

The most crucial point is that they never truly competed against each other.

This indeed makes one sigh!

Of course, it’s merely a minor lamentation.

Ying Zheng does not feel regret because, in his eyes, neither the East Buddha nor the Demon Ancestor is sufficient to be considered his opponent anymore.

Among the living, there is no one else but the newcomer from the Eastern Domain,

and the elusive over hundreds of thousands of years, True Monarch Erlang, Yang Jian, who can stir a fighting spirit in Ying Zheng.

Even though Yang Jian has never shown his current strength in the world,

Ying Zheng can be sure.

The opposite must have also forged his own path and broken through the limits of a quasi-saint!

Of course, who among himself, Yang Jian, and the ascending Lord of the Daoist Court has nurtured the most Saint’s Breath remains unknown.

But that’s not important.

After all, in the future, there will inevitably be a world-shattering battle among them!

By then, who is truly the number one beneath the saint will naturally become clear!

"But, to speak of it again, what secret is hidden beneath the Sea Eye of the North Sea?"

"Why have the long-dead Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints revitalized and come back to life?"

Ying Zheng remains curious about this.

It must be known that the Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints back then faced Ancestral Witch level beings.

The Witch Race’s methods are inherently mysterious, and those they killed should have left no trace, be it in the Nine Heavens or Yellow Springs, so how could there be a chance of revival?

"Unless from the mouths of the Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints, any hope of an answer remains,"

"it could only be the conniving old dog Haotian Jade Emperor who knew the truth."

The Old Dragon King said faintly, his tone displaying clear resentment when mentioning Haotian Jade Emperor.

Ying Zheng did not dwell long on this issue, only saying in a slightly condensed tone, "The River Map and Luo Book, along with the Donghuang Bell, did not follow the Ten Great Saints but instead entered the Sea Eye."

"Perhaps, just as you speculated, Demon Emperor Di Jun might very well return again."

At this point, Ying Zheng also sighed slightly.

"I thought the decline of the Demon Race Celestial Court was irreversible, leading soon to its demise."

"Now the situation has changed again."

Ying Zheng looked north, his deep eyes reflecting the rotation of stars and cosmos.

Unquestionably.

The Demon Race’s Ten Great Saints will once again reorganize the Demon Race Celestial Court, giving this Upper Realm behemoth, which should have lagged behind, a chance to breathe anew.

The Old Dragon King said faintly, "Compared to the situation with the Demon Race, I’m more curious about who will claim the Sage Seat this time, and whether that Daoist Court can successfully ascend?"

Ying Zheng looked into the distance without saying a word.

...

On the other side, in the Western Heaven Buddha Country.

All the Buddhas had already learned of the North Sea affair.

They were not visibly affected, only slightly astonished before returning to their lofty, detached demeanor.

The Buddha Country, at present, pays no heed to the intrigues of the external world.

They chant the True Scripture of the Tathagata all day, waiting for the return of their World Honored One, the Saint Tathagata!

...

Another three days passed.

By then, everyone in the Daoist Court had already been holding their breath.

Especially Shen Gongbao, whose excitement was uncontrollable, as his eyes glowed with anticipation.

"It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen!"

"In half a month, the Daoist Lord reached the Thirty-Third Heaven!"

"Once the Celestial Dragon of Fortune covers that Celestial Domain, our Dao Immortal Court will from then on be the Daoist Celestial Court!"

Shen Gongbao was trembling with excitement, his eyes fixed intently on the depths of the Celestial Domain, at someone who had not let him down.

The historical record for establishing the Ascension Court, breaking through the Thirty-Three Heavens, was at fastest accomplished in one month.

Yet the Daoist Lord took only half a month!

The Celestial Court’s ascension was imminent!

Shen Gongbao couldn’t help but be thrilled about it!

However, while many fixated their attention on their Celestial Domain,

the voice of the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly arose.

"The struggle for the seat has revealed its victor."
