Chapter 582 The birth of the Eastern Emperor Bell is simply a godsend!
The atmosphere inside the Lingxiao Palace was extremely heavy.
The Jade Emperor sat alone on his supreme throne, his expression shifting between light and shadow, unpredictable and ever-changing.
His eyes were fixed on the scene displayed in the Haotian Mirror—the broken ancient bell and the blessed land shrouded in endless chaos.
The Eastern Emperor Bell!
These three words felt like a heavy mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.
He desired this treasure more than anyone else.
Back then, the ancient Demon Court ruled the world. Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor held the Hetu and Luoshu, while Emperor Taizong of the Eastern Dynasty held the Eastern Emperor Bell in one hand. How majestic and domineering they were!
Although Haotian was appointed Lord of the Three Realms by the Dao Ancestor and was nominally incomparably noble, he lacked a supreme innate treasure capable of truly suppressing the fortune of the Three Realms. This was his greatest pain.
Now that the Eastern Emperor Bell has been born, it is truly a godsend!
But he dared not move.
He knew very well that at this moment, countless eyes in the vast wilderness were watching that place.
Saints, Quasi-Saints, Reclusive Great Powers...
If he, the Heavenly Emperor, were to personally descend upon the scene to seize the treasure, he would immediately become the target of public criticism.
At that time, the Heavenly Court will not only fail to benefit, but may also suffer the consequences, causing the Heavenly Emperor to lose all his prestige.
Greed, desire, fear, resentment... a mix of emotions swirled within him, plunging him into a dilemma.
Just then, a streak of light, as swift as lightning, shot in from outside the hall and landed steadily in the center of the hall.
"Chen Changsheng pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
Haotian looked up and saw that the person who came was Chen Changsheng. His heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm. He asked in a deep voice, "Changsheng, why are you not at the Princess's residence with your family? What brings you to my Lingxiao Palace in such a hurry?"
Chen Changsheng raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Haotian, and without any beating around the bush, he went straight to the point:
"uncle!"
The word "uncle" sent a shiver down Haotian's spine.
In public, Chen Changsheng always addressed him as "Heavenly Emperor" or "Your Majesty" to show the difference between ruler and subject.
This use of "uncle" is clearly an attempt to build rapport, indicating that what follows is a private, family matter!
"Uncle, the birth of the Eastern Emperor Bell has shaken the Three Realms. Such a supreme treasure, if it falls into the hands of evil, will surely bring calamity to the primordial world. If it falls into the hands of another sect, it will increase their fortune and damage the majesty of our Heavenly Court!"
Chen Changsheng's voice was powerful and resonant, echoing in the empty hall.
"My nephew humbly requests to go to the place where the treasure fell, to retrieve this treasure for the Heavenly Court and for his uncle!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian's pupils contracted slightly.
He didn't expect that Chen Changsheng would volunteer.
He was more than willing. Chen Changsheng was now the face of the Heavenly Court and his trump card. If Chen Changsheng could obtain the treasure, it would be no different from him obtaining it himself.
But he still hesitated and pondered, "Chang Sheng, I understand your intentions."
But this matter is of utmost importance; the place where the treasure once fell has now become a den of dragons and tigers.
The Chan Sect, the Western Sect, the Demon Clan, the Blood Sea... all forces gathered together, and the number of Quasi-Saints and Great Powers was countless.
Although you are incredibly strong, you can't fight against overwhelming odds. This journey is far too dangerous.
Chen Changsheng smiled.
He knew perfectly well that Haotian wasn't worried about him, but rather weighing the pros and cons, fearing that if he went, he would not only fail to retrieve the treasure, but also lose face for the Heavenly Court.
"Uncle, you're overthinking it." Chen Changsheng stepped forward, radiating unparalleled confidence.
"At the Peach Banquet, I was able to defeat Ran Deng in front of all the immortals and gods of the Three Realms. Now, as long as the Sage doesn't personally intervene, who in this vast primordial world can stop me?"
"I am a celestial deity enforcing the law in Heaven. It is perfectly rightful for me to seize this treasure! If my Heavenly Court were to shrink back in the face of such a supreme treasure, it would be a disgrace to the Three Realms and a complete loss of the Heavenly Court's prestige!"
These words stirred a deep emotion within Haotian.
Yeah, what's there to be afraid of!
His nephew-in-law is a prodigy capable of creating miracles!
But that wasn't enough. It wasn't enough for him to make his final decision.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Haotian said "good" three times in a row. He stepped down from the imperial steps and patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder hard. The appreciation and satisfaction in his eyes were no longer concealed.
"As expected of my good nephew-in-law! In that case, I will give you my full support!"
With a wave of his hand, Haotian conjured an ancient-looking mirror and a golden command flag, which appeared out of thin air in front of Chen Changsheng.
"This is the Haotian Mirror, capable of seeing through all illusory restrictions. That blessed land must be fraught with danger. With this mirror, you can be safe. In a critical moment, you can even use this mirror as a medium to unleash my full power!"
"This is the Heavenly Emperor's command flag! With this flag, you can mobilize 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals outside the Southern Heavenly Gate to descend to the mortal realm with you! Surround that land where the treasure fell!!"
Haotian's voice was full of imperial domineering power.
"Chang Sheng, go ahead and do it! Let all the villains of the Three Realms see the might of the Heavenly Court's Enforcer God! I am right here in the Lingxiao Palace, watching you with the Haotian Mirror. Which blind old fool dares to bully the weak and break the rules? I will personally go and deal with him!"
These words were tantamount to giving Chen Changsheng the greatest authorization and the strongest backing.
Chen Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that this time, he had truly convinced the Supreme Being of the Three Realms.
He accepted the Haotian Mirror and the command flag, and bowed deeply in salute.
"Thank you, Uncle! Changsheng will certainly not fail you!"
After saying that, he didn't linger and strode out of the Lingxiao Palace.
His upright figure exuded boundless confidence and an indomitable spirit.
Heavenly Court, South Heavenly Gate.
Chen Changsheng, holding the Heavenly Emperor's Command Flag, stood atop the clouds, his expression solemn.
He raised the command flag high, infusing it with the magical power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, and his voice, like rolling thunder, resounded throughout the entire South Heavenly Gate outpost.
"Chen Changsheng, the Heavenly Enforcer of the Heavenly Court, is acting on the orders of the Heavenly Emperor!"
"One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals at the Southern Heavenly Gate, assemble immediately!"
"Follow me down to the mortal realm, and spread my divine might!"
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
"War! War! War!"
At Chen Changsheng's command, the entire Nantianmen camp instantly erupted in excitement.
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, clad in silver armor and wielding heavenly halberds, flew out from their respective barracks and quickly assembled into a massive square formation outside the South Heavenly Gate.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, and their menacing aura was palpable; they were clearly a well-trained and elite force.
The leading giant spirit, wielding a sharp green sword, strode forward and knelt on one knee.
"This humble general, leading 100,000 heavenly soldiers from the Southern Heavenly Gate, pays homage to the Heavenly Emperor! We have completed our assembly; please grant us your instructions!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals looked at Chen Changsheng with eyes full of fanatical worship.
At the Peach Banquet, Chen Changsheng single-handedly defeated the Chan Sect and subdued Randeng, restoring great honor to the Heavenly Court.
Such outstanding achievements had already spread throughout the entire Heavenly Court, making these Heavenly Court soldiers proud and greatly boosting their morale.
Everyone felt their blood boiling with excitement at being able to join this legendary Heavenly Emperor on his expedition.
Just at this time,
The void rippled again.
Kong Xuan, the Golden-Winged Roc, and Yuan Hongzhong, a key member of the Enforcement Hall, also appeared at the South Heavenly Gate.
Owner!
They all bowed to Chen Changsheng.
These are his real men, and their strength is certainly not lacking.
Kong Xuan was at the quasi-saint level.
He didn't waste any words, but simply and forcefully said: "A supreme treasure has been born in the mortal realm, which is an opportunity for our Heavenly Court."
"You have only one mission here: to seal off the battlefield!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Set off!"
With a wave of his hand, Chen Changsheng transformed into a beam of divine light and flew towards the blessed land in the lower realm.
One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers followed closely behind, transforming into a silver torrent stretching across the sky, vast and boundless in power.
Such a commotion naturally could not be kept secret from the powerful beings of the primordial world.
