My All-Heavens Chat Group-Chapter 508 - 19 Venerable and The Sovereign_1
"Venerable!"
"It’s actually a Venerable descending!"
"My heavens, in my lifetime, I’m actually able to see a Venerable!"
"Which Venerable is this?"
Countless mighty ones on the Eternal Continent boiled over with excitement.
Normally, it was rare to see even a Supreme One, let alone a Venerable. A Venerable was a being of legend, like a Divine Dragon whose beginning is seen but not its end. Even Supreme Ones hardly ever saw a Venerable. Their excitement was imaginable.
They looked on, only to see an exquisite figure shrouded in Chaos, with countless Paths circling her body and innumerable Rules woven into a feathered robe draped over her.
Standing there, she was like the sole existence in heaven and earth.
All things and all Paths in the world revolved around her.
No one could see her face clearly.
Nor did anyone dare look directly at her divine body.
Accompanied by her appearance, sounds of the Path echoed through heaven and earth, celestial flowers rained down, Golden Lotus Bananas surged from the ground, and the whole world congratulated her on her descent.
This... was a Venerable!
「Eternal Divine City.」
Eternal Palace.
The Eternal Palace was a Dao Ultimate Treasure.
Within the Eternal Palace, gigantic stars stood in the starry sky. Above the firmament, myriad auspicious colors shone, traces of the Path manifested from time to time, and Dao light flickered endlessly, bringing boundless propitiousness.
Sacred creation was infinite; the most primal essence of the Path’s spirit was exceedingly rich. It turned into rivulets, flowing through the starry space. The sound of springs gently bubbled. Countless Divine Medicines and Longevity Medicine were seen everywhere.
And upon a massive star in its deepest part, a hazy, ethereal figure suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were dreamlike, as if containing an endless river of time.
She was the master of the Eternal Palace—Venerable Bai Heng.
Venerable Bai Heng was the first Candle Dragon of the Eternal Continent to attain the Path, cultivating the Path of Time. She was one of the oldest Venerables on the Eternal Continent. This was why she guarded the Eternal Divine City.
Her dreamy eyes seemed as if time flowed within them. The endless Rules of Time flickered, and with a single glance, she saw Nuwa descending to the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi.
Not a Venerable from the Abyssal Dimension!
But also not any that I know of!
If it were a newly elevated Venerable, it would be impossible for me to be unaware.
Could she be from another world?
But she hasn’t been rejected by the Eternal Continent?
Venerable Bai Heng was unable to figure it out, but she did not dwell on it. As long as the other was not an enemy of the Eternal Continent, it was fine. As for how the other broke through, that was not important. Everyone has their own secrets.
If she is willing to help resist the Demon Lord of the Abyssal Dimension, then the strength of the Eternal Continent will increase by another fraction!
With this in mind, Venerable Bai Heng’s figure disappeared from the Eternal Palace.
It wasn’t just Venerable Bai Heng; the ancestor of the War God Clan, War God Wu (also known as Martial God Venerable), along with other ancient Venerables, all headed towards Nuwa.
The appearance of a Venerable never seen before was a momentous event for them. Whether it was to make acquaintances or to investigate, it was very necessary.
「Sacred Grounds of Yaochi.」
HUMMING.
Space twisted. One after another, hazy and towering figures enveloped in Chaos emerged, encircled by the Rules of the heavens, with countless suns, moons, and stars revolving around them.
Each one was like a master of a Path, an ancestor of Divine Spirits.
With their emergence, time came to a standstill, and space solidified.
The myriad Paths of the world thundered.
Numerous mighty ones widened their eyes. Venerables, whom one might not see for countless years, had appeared all at once.
"I pay my respects to all Venerables! I know my wrongs, and I am willing to accept punishment. I beg the Venerables for mercy!"
Upon seeing other Venerables arrive, Master Mingyu felt joy in his heart. He promptly paid his respects and then continued to plead with Nuwa for mercy. In his view, he was an important fighting force for the Eternal Continent. The other Venerables would not likely stand by and watch him be killed. After all, he hadn’t caused any dire consequences. There was room for redemption.
"I am Bai Heng. Pleased to meet you, Dao Friend," Venerable Bai Heng said, looking at Nuwa and offering a salute.
The other Venerables greeted her in turn.
"Nuwa."
Nuwa’s demeanor was composed, neither joyous nor sorrowful. Her stunning visage seemed to capture all dignified grace in the world—holy and transcendent, reserved yet noble.
"So it’s Dao Friend Nuwa." Venerable Bai Heng nodded slightly and said, "Dao Friend Nuwa, I wonder if you could spare Mingyu’s life? Have him make reparations, and then exile him to the borders to defend against the Abyssal Dimension. This would forgive his crimes and also be a way to make full use of his abilities."
The ancestor from the War God Clan, Martial God Venerable, also joined in, "Indeed! Although this guy’s character isn’t great, his strength is still formidable. To kill him directly would truly be a waste!"
Mingyu was overjoyed upon hearing Venerable Bai Heng and Martial God Venerable pleading for him. Even though Nuwa is a Venerable, she has to consider the opinions of other Venerables, right? It seemed that keeping his life was no longer a concern.
"This is My Lord’s will. Mingyu must die!"
Nuwa’s indifferent voice fell. Her fair, jade-like finger stretched out, pointing towards Mingyu.
"Venerables, save me..." Mingyu screamed in terror.
At the same time, the Hell Dao within his body emerged, attempting to resist. Even ants struggle to survive, much less Master Mingyu. He knew the gap between himself and a Venerable was vast, but he wasn’t about to sit and wait for death, to be killed by a Venerable without a fight.
HISS.
However, only at this moment did Master Mingyu truly understand the gap between himself and a Venerable; it was like an insurmountable chasm. Under Nuwa’s finger, the Hell Dao he controlled was directly suppressed.
The terrifying Path of Creation descended, wiping out all traces of him—his past, present, and future—erasing all marks across endless time and space.
BOOM.
In that instant, the myriad Paths between heaven and earth roared, blood rained from the sky, and the entire world was filled with sorrow.
My heavens, Master Mingyu just died like that?
Is this the power of a Venerable? It’s truly terrifying!
Even though Master Mingyu was almost invincible in the Supreme One realm, he still couldn’t withstand a single finger-strike from a Venerable! How fearsome!
Master Tian Yan, Jiuxuan God Respect, Haotian Immortal, and countless other Supreme Ones from the Eternal Continent were shaken beyond words. As Supreme Ones, they reigned high above, immortal and indestructible. And because Venerables rarely appeared, they had considered themselves invincible.
However, today, reality had taught them a harsh lesson.
Even as Supreme Ones, they couldn’t do as they pleased. Above them, there were Venerables. Venerables might rarely be seen, but that didn’t mean they didn’t exist. If they provoked a Venerable, even Supreme Ones must die.
Venerable Bai Heng, Martial God Venerable, and the other Venerables sighed softly. They didn’t intervene. Firstly, they did not wish to offend a Venerable over Mingyu. Secondly, the "My Lord" mentioned by Nuwa had effectively awed them.
Nuwa herself had already reached the supreme existence of a Venerable. So, what kind of existence could her "My Lord" be?
As Venerables, they knew that there was a realm above that of a Venerable. That realm was called the Taoist God Realm. They referred to the mighty ones of the Taoist God Realm as The Sovereign—The Supreme Sovereign.
At this realm, whether it was the Immortal Path or Divine Dao, cultivators were all called Taoist Gods. This was unlike the Venerable-level, where the Immortal Path equivalent was called Dao Master, and the Divine Dao equivalent was called Ancestral God. This was because, at the realm of the Taoist God, all paths converged into one, so to speak. Just as the saying goes, "Three thousand Great Paths, all lead to the same destination." Whether cultivating the Immortal Path or the Divine Dao, at this realm, all unified as Taoist God.
What is a Taoist God? A God of a Path. Governing a Path, the sovereign of that Dao. This... was the Taoist God. The truly ultimate and forbidden existences at the pinnacle of the Eternal Continent’s pyramid, overlooking the cycles of eras, immortal and unscathed, indestructible and uninjured.
Although they were Venerables, they were entirely different from Sovereigns in terms of realm. The gap was like a chasm, just like the difference between Supreme Ones and Venerables.
And this Venerable named Nuwa likely has such a Supreme Sovereign behind her.
Realizing this, Venerable Bai Heng looked towards Nuwa with a solemn and respectful expression, asking, "Dao Friend Nuwa, may I know which great Sovereign is your ’My Lord’?"
As her voice fell, the surrounding Martial God Venerable and other Venerables instantly tensed, pricking up their ears.
