As soon as Xiao Luzin took a stand, the rest of the people came forward to take a stand. Apart from some of the people who genuinely did not care about Feng SiChen coming over, there were also some who had come for Ning Cheng, the Daoist Monarch.
Ning Cheng, the Daoist Monarch, was only a nominal one to put it mildly, and was no more powerful than the Daoist Monarch of the Taiyi Realm. There was one thing that was undoubtedly true, and that was that this Dao Monarch status of Ning Cheng was definitely not a puppet. Ning Cheng might not have the means to answer all calls, but he would definitely not be swayed by others.
Ning Cheng also knew this, and he had never thought of calling out to all people in the Tai Su Realm and becoming the master of a realm. The reason he had spent so much energy on this was mainly self-preservation. If he could protect himself and maintain the safety and security of the Tai Su Realm, why not go for it?
“Daoist Lord Ning, my Void Star Sect is absolutely supportive of the Tai Su Dao Court. If Feng Sihang dares to come to the Tai Su Realm, even if Daoist Friend Xue Ying and Daoist Friend Shi Yi Qing cannot spare the time, I, Kang Xiushan, will still stand up.” Kang Ancestor had long seen that Ning Cheng did not care much about the Void Star Sect, and he could tell from today’s scene. One day, Ning Cheng would become a true First Realm Daoist Monarch. And not through a form of cooperation with another sect as it was now.
He, the Void Star Sect, had missed an opportunity to make friends and had even formed a grudge with Ning Cheng. If he missed this opportunity again, the Void Star Sect might never have the possibility of turning around again. Missing one opportunity could be described as an accident, but if it missed both opportunities, it deserved to perish.
He, Kang Xiushan, had seen how many vicissitudes of people and how many mountains and rivers had changed. In a short period of time, Ning Cheng had gone from a Dao-shaping to a Dao Yuan powerhouse, and this was enough to shock all the people. All this might only mean that Ning Cheng’s luck was against the odds, and now Ning Cheng had led the clans of the Tai Su Realm to complete the arrangement of the Tai Su Realm’s Great Boundary Protection Formation, and had even become a Dao Sovereign of the Dao Court of the First Realm, receiving the support of the two great Harmonious Dao Saint Emperors.
If this was the case and he still did not think highly of Ning Cheng, he, Kang Xiushan, could only be considered a pig.
Ning Cheng was also surprised, he knew that Kang Xiushan had come here to attend the First Daoist Assembly of the Tai Su Dao Court because he had set up the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm and Kang Xiushan had come to make friends. He did not care, nor was he surprised. After the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm was set up, even if Kang Xiushan did not get his permission, he would not be able to leave the Tai Su Realm.
It was the fact that Kang Xiushan had taken the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of dealing with Feng SiChen that had truly surprised Ning Cheng. In his opinion, Kang Xiushan and the Void Star Sect that Kang Xiushan was a part of was a completely snobbish sect, the kind of sect that was only willing to show the smallest amount of sincerity to gain the greatest amount of benefit.
No matter what, Kang Xiushan was at least a Hedao Saint Emperor. With such a stance to support him, Ning Cheng could not continue to ignore Kang Xiushan. A Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor definitely had to give face when he said such things, otherwise it would be a feud, and Ning Cheng was not so stupid as to go to such an extent. He stood up, cupped his fist to Kang Xiushan and said, “With these words from Senior Kang, my Tai Su Realm is even more stable as a mountain, on behalf of all the Daoists in the Tai Su Realm, I thank Senior Kang of the Void Star Sect for his hot-blooded promise.”
Kang Xiushan was very satisfied with Ning Cheng’s stand up stance. He knew that Ning Cheng also saw the facts clearly, and that in this situation it would be mutually beneficial to join forces, and there was no point in further contradicting each other.
With another Hedao Saint Emperor supporting Ning Cheng, there was even more enthusiasm in the Tai Su Allied Hall. It could be said that almost all of the Daoist Saint Emperors that could be found in the Tai Su Realm supported Ning Cheng. The only Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor who had opposed the Dan Society, Savage Sha Tian, had even been killed by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng waited for the crowd to quiet down a little before he stood up and said aloud, “I, Ning Cheng, the first Dao Emperor of the Tai Su Dao Court, hereby proclaim to the Daoists of the entire Tai Su Realm that the Tai Su Dao Court is established, and that the situation where the Tai Su Realm is devoid of rules and order is no more! Gone are the days when the Tai Su Realm could come and go as it pleased! From today onwards, the Tai Su Realm will have rules to compete with, and one day, the Tai Su Realm will be able to return to its peak. From today onwards, my Tai Su Realm will have every one of our Tai Su Realm cultivators to protect it!”
Ning Cheng’s voice spread out through the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm, and except for those who were closed to the world, Ning Cheng’s words announcing the establishment of the Tai Su Dao Court could be heard from almost any corner of the Tai Su Realm. At this moment, all of the people of the Tai Su Realm were celebrating. No matter what the future held, having the Dao Court set the rules was far better than that kind of killing and fighting without rules.
At least if you offended someone in the void, you could escape back to the Tai Su Realm without having to worry about being chased over when you returned to the Tai Su Realm. This kind of thing used to be too much, and after the Tai Su Dao Court was established, it would and will be a thing of the past.
When Ning Cheng had finished his words, the people of the Tai Su Allied Palace began to raise their glasses in celebration.
Ning Cheng raised his cup and said once again, “Today, I am using the day of the establishment of the Tai Su Dao Court to once again request one thing from all the Daoists.”
“Daoist Sovereign Ning, please speak, as long as it concerns my Tai Su Realm, it is not just a matter for Daoist Sovereign Ning alone, it is a matter for each and every one of us.” Mu Yuankong of the Seven Star Sacred Sect jumped ahead of the pack this time.
The Tai Su Daoist Court was established, and Ning Cheng had subscribed to the ten pillars of the court. Of these ten pillars of the court, even in the Heavenly Array Valley, which was new to the ten sects, the patriarch was also a pillar of the court. Only in the Seven Star Holy Sect was he, Mu Yuankong, the Vice Patriarch, one of the ten pillars of the court.
He, Mu Yuankong, had no half-hearted friendship with Ning Cheng, and the only reason Ning Cheng had recognized him as one of the ten pillars of the court was that five years ago, when the Dan Club had started the Tai Su Realm Clan Conference, the Seven Star Sacred Sect’s participant was his Vice Patriarch, Mu Yuankong, and not Patriarch Han Shallow Wei.
Not only did Ning Cheng acknowledge him, Mu Yuankong, as one of the ten pillars of the court, he had never even asked the Seven Star Holy Sect’s Patriarch, Han Shallow Wei, whether he was alive or dead. Obviously, in the eyes of Ning Cheng, a Daoist Monarch, Han Shalloway, who had not come to the sect meeting, was directly ignored.
In fact, when Ning Cheng announced the sect meeting, the Seven Star Sacred Sect’s Patriarch, Han Shalloway, knew about it because he had reported it. It was just that Han Shalloway had never put Ning Cheng in his eyes, in Han Shalloway’s opinion, Ning Cheng was a mere mole in the first step of the Dao Certification, and was not qualified to have him, Han Shalloway, to attend the meeting.
As for other matters, he did not bother to bother with them and once again chose to go into seclusion in order to understand the Dao Harmony realm.
He did not tell the retreating Han Shalloway that Ning Cheng had advanced to Dao Yuan and had even teamed up with the rest of them to finish off Barbarian Sha Tian. On top of that, there were two other major Hedao supporters for Ning Cheng.
While Han Shallow Wei was in seclusion, Mu Yuankong attended the sect meeting held by the Dan Association, and the unexpected joy was that he was recognized as one of the ten court pillars. After the Boundary Protection Formation had been set up, Mu Yuankong knew that he had done the right thing by not telling Han Shalloway what Ning Cheng had done.
As long as he had a good relationship with Ning Cheng, he would not be able to help him, Mu Yuankong, in the future when Han Shallow Wei was out of the gate. Having missed the first few opportunities to show his loyalty, as soon as Ning Cheng said it this time, Mu Yuankong hurriedly took a stand in support of Daoist Monarch Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng nodded thankfully and continued, “As we all know, although the Great Boundary Protection Formation of my Tai Su Realm has been completed, unfortunately, the rules of the Tai Su Realm are still broken and the Dao Rhythm of Heaven and Earth is incomplete. Not to mention the difficulty of attaining the mixed element, even crossing the second step is ten times more difficult than in the Tai Yi Realm. This is also the reason why the number of Saint Emperors who have attained the second step in my Tai Su Realm is far less than that of the Tai Yi Realm.”
There was a sigh of relief in the great hall, all of them knew that what Ning Cheng said was the truth, but no one was able to solve this truth.
This was not like setting up a great boundary protection formation, as long as the formation dao level was there, and then uniting with many formation masters, it could be piled up with time and materials. If the rules of a top-level interface like the Tai Su Realm shattered, I was afraid that there was no other way but to wait for the way to perish.
The Void Star Sect’s Hedao Saint Emperor Kang Xiushan said with a long sigh, “Back then, several third-step Daoists had strife in the five Tai Su Realms, and only the Tai Yi Realm could barely protect itself from the bombardment of the treasures of creation. The rest of the four realms were all shattered.”
Ning Cheng’s heart twitched and he hurriedly asked, “Senior Kang, do you have any knowledge of the great battle back then? What treasures of creation were there?”
Not only Ning Cheng, but the many Saint Emperors in the Great Hall all looked at Kang Xiushan. There were really very few people who knew about this kind of secret story of the destruction of the Five Realms. Most people only knew that the reason why the Tai Su Realm was in ruins was because of the Great War of the Powerful.
Kang Xiushan nodded, “I know some of it, the chaos only opened at the beginning of creation. At the beginning of creation there were five creation treasures, one of which was the Creation Immortal Axe, the second was the Creation Jade Disc, the third was the Creation Golden Page, the fourth was the Creation Xuanhuang Pearl, and the fifth was the Creation Green Lotus. After that great battle, the five treasures of creation were almost lost between heaven and earth, and many of them were never heard of again ……”
Kang Xiushan spoke eloquently, and Ning Cheng knew in his heart that the Xuanhuang pearl had been obtained by him.
“Apart from the Creation Treasures, there were countless Innate Heavenly Treasures and Chaos Treasures that participated in the Great War back then. Even the Creation Treasures were blasted to pieces, and those Innate Dharma Treasures were either blasted to pieces or blasted to land in the major interfaces or the void. Those who were lucky enough not to shatter, some had their artifact spirits scattered, while others had their artifact spirits perished outright ……”
When Kang Xiushan said this, Ning Cheng’s heart was moved, his Starry Sky Wheel and the Limitless Green Thunder City were both lacking artifact spirits, could it be that it was caused by participating in the original Creation War?
Kang Xiushan glanced at Ning Cheng and said, “The Mountain River Dou that Daoist Ning obtained was actually also a treasure that participated in the Great War of Creation back then. It was one of the very few innate magic treasures that had good luck, and I heard that the artifact spirit had merely been blasted into a deep sleep. This kind of innate Dharma treasure could not be better used to suppress the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm.”
“Many thanks to Senior Kang for clearing up the confusion.” Ning Cheng thanked him, Kang Xiushan had told a lot of secret stories, all of which he had never heard before.
Li Feng suddenly asked, “Brother Kang, may I ask if the Chaos Tree also took part in that great battle?”
Kang Xiushan nodded, “The Chaos Tree is the only one of its kind in the beginning of time, and it can be said that it is a treasure that is not inferior to any creation treasure. This tree was indeed involved in that great battle, only that in that battle, the Chaos Tree was also blasted into pieces and scattered throughout the void. If someone could find a fragment of the Chaos Tree, he would have infinite achievements.”
After a pause, Kang Xiushan continued, “Things like Chaos Trees and Creation Treasures have an origin spirit. Before they are about to perish, they will look for places to hide or simply leave their inheritance behind.
I have heard that the Chaos Tree was broken in the Tai Su Realm, while the Creation Immortality Axe was broken in the void. I’m afraid that the Axe of Creation and Indestruction did not go into hiding because its master was too fierce and would not retreat until he died, and as a result, the Axe of Creation and Indestruction turned into countless pieces just like its master.”
