Chapter 1155: Chapter 729: Driving Out the Wolf to Devour the Tiger

The weather is fine and sunny, with bustling sounds of people.

The Dharma Platform rises no more than three meters high, with a circumference of ten meters, made entirely of White Jade. It is engraved with famous quotes left by the first of each era’s Dharma Assembly.

Beneath the Dharma Platform, tens of thousands of cultivators have already gathered. One could say the top-tier cultivators of the Cyan Celestial Realm have all converged here.

The flags representing various sects and factions flutter in the air, various Spiritual Lights diffuse, and an aroma of delicious scents fills the atmosphere, while auspicious clouds dance around.

Diverse spiritual birds soar overhead, while powerful alien beasts each guard their territories. It truly resembles a gathering of myriad immortals.

Surrounding the Dharma Platform, regions are divided according to geography into several dozen sections. Among them, the Western Province, Northern Province, and Southern Province occupy only small areas.

The vast majority are cultivation sects from the Eastern Province, among which the forces of Daoist Sect are the most formidable.

There are more than fifty Human Immortals leading the Daoist Sect, with each Human Immortal leading a sect. Each sect has over a thousand members.

Among these, the strongest naturally are the Divine Moon, Jade Cloud, and Five Elements Sects. The flags of these three sects are the largest and highest.

Embroidered on the flags are sect emblems, various symbolic spirit beasts, etc. Each flag radiates divine light and is adorned exceptionally.

The flag of the Divine Moon Sect is embroidered with a crescent moon, whose light is not strong but covers all directions. The divine moon continuously changes, becoming full and waning, displaying great mystery.

On the Jade Cloud Sect’s flag stands a Thunder God over a hundred meters tall, towering in the sky with thunder light radiating in all directions, exuding sheer domineering majesty. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The Five Elements Sect’s flag displays the Five-Colored Divine Light in an unpredictable flow, sometimes like flames, sometimes like rivers, sometimes like earth. Its divine aspect embodying the essence of the five elements holds great artistic conception.

Most cultivators, regardless of their sect, strive to cultivate Five Elements Magic. Many look towards the Five Elements Sect’s flag, hoping to gain insight from it.

This Five Elements Heaven-Reaching Banner of the Five Elements Sect is indeed a supreme treasure. It is entirely different from other sect flags.

If one’s perception is keen, they truly might gain a few insights into the marvels of the five elements from it.

The flags of the Buddhist Sect are relatively simple; the Celestial Lotus Sect is symbolized by a huge Golden Lotus, while the Dragon Elephant Sect depicts a fierce celestial king formed by a dragon and an elephant intertwined.

Besides these, there are other sects like the Golden Light Sect and Thunder Sound True Word Sect.

Unlike the Daoist Sect, the amalgamation of numerous Buddhist sects creates an extraordinarily strong aura.

The Buddhist monks also display greater discipline, each wearing spotless magical robes, standing solemnly with downcast eyes, silent and motionless.

This quietude is quite conspicuous amidst the clamor of the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly.

Ao Jiuni, standing atop the Dharma Platform, first spots the group of monks from the Eastern Province Buddhism.

His gaze swiftly sweeps across the face of Xuan Ye, the leading monk, pausing slightly on Jin Xiang before shifting away.

According to the Dragon King’s plan, aside from Gao Xuan, both Jin Xiang and Jiang Yuelan must be killed at this assembly.

In the past, Ao Dongcheng didn’t particularly concern himself with these reincarnated powerhouses. Everyone minded their own business.

However, after the matter with Gao Xuan, Ao Dongcheng suddenly realized how dangerous truly strong individuals could be.

Once Jin Xiang and Jiang Yuelan grow fully, they pose a tremendous threat to the Dragon Court.

These two indeed possess great fortune, always emerging unscathed from peril. But such fortune has limitations.

The Nine-Revolutions Thunder Dragon Pill is a divine pill concocted by ancient Thunder Dragons. Though Thunder Dragons are part of the Dragon Race, they differ greatly from our Celestial Dragons.

Originally, Thunder Dragon Pill was intended to help the Dragon Race enhance their cultivation.

Yet, to Ao Dongcheng’s generation, confined to the Cyan Celestial Realm, a divine item like the Nine-Revolutions Thunder Dragon Pill is of little use.

Ao Dongcheng wishes to ascend, but he needs not rely on the Nine-Revolutions Thunder Dragon Pill. However, if he ascended to the Upper Realm, what would he do? He prefers enjoying his life of supreme dominance in the Cyan Celestial Realm.

He initially intended to keep the Thunder Dragon Pill for Ao Ming, yet Ao Ming failed to progress.

Now it’s the right time to deploy it within the Thunder Dragon Array and eliminate all enemies at once.

The specifics of all this Ao Jiuni isn’t particularly informed. He only knows that Jin Xiang and Jiang Yuelan must die.

Ao Jiuni doesn’t linger on them either; they’re just two young ones, insignificant. Once Gao Xuan is slain, he can easily dispatch them.

He shifts his gaze onto Gao Xuan.

In the Northern Province, it’s undoubtedly Gao Xuan leading, with Yun Qingxia, Celestial Fool, and others standing behind him, while only Gao Xuan sits leisurely on a chair.

This celestial arrangement makes many intrigued by Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan’s name has long spread, but few have really seen him. Now there is obviously considerable curiosity.

Gao Xuan is indifferent to the attention from others; he exchanges glances with Ao Jiuni on the Dharma Platform. After Ao Jiuni nods, he swiftly averts his gaze.

This amuses Gao Xuan; Ao Jiuni is adept at handling affairs, but he’s so polished in his conduct he’s lost his courage.

Of course, Ao Dongcheng is evidently shrewd and forceful, having long prepared a Grand Array, clearly highlighting his intense enmity.

It’s clear that Ao Dongcheng aims not only to kill him but to eradicate all threatening cultivators.

The realm’s powerhouses have gathered, and the Dragon King plans to sweep them all. Such grandiosity befits a dominator reigning the Eastern Province for millennia.

Gao Xuan, too, anticipates this; the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly should allow powerhouses to display their brilliance, making it truly remarkable.

Had it not been for considerations like this, he would long ago have casually eliminated Lin Jianghong; how could he let him rampage recklessly?

Just as Gao Xuan thought of Lin Jianghong, he saw Lin Jianghong approaching.

Lin Jianghong today wears the grand red magical robe of the Celestial Court, with a golden Celestial Master Crown atop his head, looking impressively dignified.

Gao Xuan is somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Jianghong is coming over; if he really intends to cause trouble, he should do so on the Dharma Platform, amidst the multitude’s gaze. That’s how one gains the spotlight.
