Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 406: How Far the Celestial Court Has Fallen!

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: How Far the Celestial Court Has Fallen!

"Slavery Empire."

It was a country located in the north, not on the way to the Underworld. Chen Lan muttered to himself, deciding to visit the Underworld first and then head to this Slavery Empire, perhaps finding some promising talents there.

With a single point of his finger, a surge of Spiritual Power entered Li Luo’s body. Before long, Li Luo awakened.

As he lifted his head and saw Chen Lan, he immediately stood up, stepped back quickly, drew his sharp blade, and watched Chen Lan vigilantly while glancing around the surroundings.

The corpses everywhere filled him with fear, his body trembling, and he spoke in panic, "Who are you?!"

"Xiao Yao." Chen Lan waved his hand to remove his disguise, revealing his true face.

Seeing Chen Lan’s true appearance, Li Luo exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader!"

He couldn’t be mistaken, it was indeed the Sect Leader, he had come!

But soon, he frowned and retreated, speaking solemnly, "How can you prove that you are the Sect Leader!"

Upon arriving in this world, he had experienced some terrifying and hopeless events, making him hesitant to trust anyone lightly. Since this person could disguise as someone else, he could also disguise as the Sect Leader. What if he had read his memories?

Chen Lan shook his head helplessly, leaving only one sentence: "The person manipulating you from the shadows, I’ve already dealt with. Find a place to continue enhancing your strength. I need to go to the Underworld to rescue the rest of the Xiao Yao Sect. If your strength is sufficient, you can come to the Netherworld Underworld."

After saying this, he flicked his finger, and a flash of Spiritual Light carrying information about the Netherworld Underworld’s location drilled into Li Luo’s mind. Once he received it and opened his eyes again, Chen Lan was already gone.

This made Li Luo very excited; the other person hadn’t harmed him but instead spoke about the Underworld matters. Everyone from the Xiao Yao Sect was there.

"Sect Leader, I will definitely come!"

Just then, Li Luo was slightly taken aback as he noticed a shining Storage Ring on the ground. Picking it up, he found countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside, along with Magical Treasures, Talismans, and Elixirs, which could rapidly enhance his strength.

This was enough to prove that the person was the Sect Leader and not here to harm him!

Li Luo felt guilty for doubting the Sect Leader. The next time they met, he would definitely apologize.

At this moment, Chen Lan was flying towards the Underworld. He hadn’t said much more; Li Luo would naturally follow, and even if he didn’t, it was fine. With Li Luo’s strength, coming would be a death sentence.

He understood that this journey to the Underworld was fraught with danger, but Luo Tao was there, along with his disciples and Daoist partner, so he couldn’t turn a blind eye.

Until now, Chen Lan wasn’t entirely confident in his strength. He wanted to become stronger but feared any mistakes if he waited too long.

...

Underworld.

"Your Highness, the Three Lives Stone has been shining frequently lately. It seems that the destined person is on the way." King Yama knelt halfway and bowed his head.

The Yin Prince sitting on the throne chuckled upon hearing this, "This is good news. If that person comes, we should give a good reception, as ordered by Lady Houtu. We absolutely cannot offend them, as this concerns the fate of the Underworld."

He couldn’t forget Lady Houtu’s words about the Underworld’s calamity. If the Underworld ceased to exist, he wouldn’t fare well either. It was only because of the Underworld’s special mechanism that he could survive in the Desolate Celestial Realm. Without the Underworld, what was he but nothing?

People didn’t fear him, the Yin Prince, but the power of the Underworld and those behind it.

"What if that person bears a grudge against us?" King Yama voiced his concern, having considered this from the start but only now dared to bring it up. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Upon hearing this, the Yin Prince furrowed his brows. He hadn’t actually thought about this problem. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If there is a grudge, we will transform enemies into friends and strive to gain their forgiveness. No matter what, this destined person will ultimately aid our Underworld, and we must not let them be disappointed with us."

But he hoped even more that the other person bore no grudge with the Underworld, as that would make things much easier.

"Yes, as you command." King Yama nodded and then withdrew.

"A name has three waters, a life has three fates. How does this not sound right? There’s always a foreboding feeling." The Yin Prince stroked his chin, lost in thought.

For some reason, his heart had been racing these past few days, constantly restless and unable to enter a proper state of cultivation due to too many worries.

Yet he didn’t know what was worrying him; it just felt very uneasy altogether. Perhaps it was due to too much cultivation. After the Netherworld Celebration, he planned to go on a journey to relax his mind and body.

...

Celestial Court.

"How is Yang Jian recently?"

The Jade Emperor on the throne frowned and addressed Li Jing in a solemn tone.

On the day of the great battle, Yang Jian was brought back by him, Li Jing’s physical form was destroyed, Nezha stayed below, and the ten thousand celestial soldiers and generals perished entirely, leaving the Celestial Court in a dire state.

Currently, the Celestial Court had few soldiers who could fight, maybe counting Hou Yi and Chang Er as two.

"He has awakened, but only his primary Soul remains. That person’s Soul was obliterated by Chen Lan and cannot be resurrected. Should we find someone else?" Li Jing inquired.

"Leave this matter up to the Dao Celestial Sect. The previous candidate was one of theirs, so let them handle it again," the Jade Emperor sighed, never expecting the Celestial Court to become like this.

The three Celestial Venerables were missing; if they were still here, would they still have to bow to the Dao Celestial Sect?

What can they do, being under someone else’s thumb? Without a Dao Emperor, the entire Celestial Court is just an ant at someone else’s feet. Although he’s the ruler of the Celestial Court, his strength is merely that of a Taoist Saint with twenty-five threads of the Great Dao.

The opportunity for becoming an Emperor remains unclear to this day.

"Also, ten days from now is the Netherworld Celebration, and the Underworld has invited us to join. We could make the acquaintance of the Netherworld Emperor. Should we attend?" Li Jing continued.

The Jade Emperor paused in silence before replying, "We should go. At that time, you take Hou Yi and Chang Er. I will prepare generous gifts for you to bring. Making a connection with the Netherworld Emperor would certainly be beneficial. However, is it truly out of goodwill that the Underworld invited us?"

He’s aware that the Underworld has always wanted to eliminate the Celestial Court. Cui Jue has returned to the Celestial Court, which the Underworld must have noticed; yet they still invited us, how suspicious.

"For some reason, they simply said a few words and then left," Li Jing shook his head and replied.

"Alright then. Quickly report to the Dao Celestial Sect that Yang Jian has awakened, but his Celestial Eye has been gouged out. Let’s see what they decide," the Jade Emperor waved his hand and sighed.

Now, without his Celestial Eye, Yang Jian is no more than a cripple. The Dao Celestial Sect likely has no use for him anymore; they might even want to dispose of him.

Having accompanied the Celestial Court for many years, the Jade Emperor might try to save Yang Jian when the time comes.

Ah, how unpredictable life is, and why provoke Ye Lan in the first place? After all, they never had a dispute with Ye Lan to begin with, it was merely the Dao Celestial Sect’s task. Now they have suffered heavy losses, making it increasingly difficult to maintain their position in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

"When did our Celestial Court fall into such a state of destitution!"
