Chapter 571 -147: Competing for the Fate of the Heavenly Dao (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Cheng Guang looked at the system mission prompt and originally thought that the Great Tang could contend with the Heavenly Court, which was very powerful, so the Great Tang must be formidable as well.

But he had not expected

that the strength of the Great Tang could be so terrifying.

In the entire world, where there were only about twenty known Sky-Men, the Great Tang quietly boasted of over a hundred!

Had it not been for Cheng Guang’s arrival here, even he would have found it hard to believe had someone else spoken of it!

Cheng Guang’s heart trembled as he thought, and in the midst of this contemplation, he became aware of a very special gaze fixed intently upon him.

Cheng Guang followed the direction of that gaze.

It was the Great Tang Emperor.

The Great Tang Emperor was dressed in black, his shoulders draped with black hair, his face adorned with a ferocious mask that concealed his features, but through the exposed eyes, one could discern that the Emperor was in a complex mood.

Cheng Guang, looking at the Great Tang Emperor, revealed a faint smile and then nodded slightly towards him.

The Great Tang Emperor instinctively raised his hand slightly, gesturing Cheng Guang to dispense with formalities, and then stared blankly at Cheng Guang.

He found himself at a loss for words.

“Is it really you?”

After a long while,

the Great Tang Emperor spoke again, softly.

Cheng Guang, hearing the words of the Great Tang Emperor, understood what he was asking.

He was asking about Tang Sanzang, inquiring about the Saint Monk.

The episode just now must have convinced the Great Tang Emperor that Tang Sanzang stood before him.

At this moment, the Emperor’s question was full of uncertainty, like someone questioning a dream.

Cheng Guang did not explain but just shook his head slightly.

Seeing Cheng Guang’s reaction, the Great Tang Emperor fell silent for a moment, seeming to understand that Cheng Guang had just been in a state of confusion.

He said no more.

It seemed as if he had resolved something.

He let out a heavy sigh.

Then his gaze fell upon the two old men, one with black hair and the other with white.

“Go and check on those Fruits of the Path to Divinity, how are they doing?”

Upon hearing the Great Tang Emperor’s words, the black-haired and the white-haired old men nodded slightly, merged into the wall, and whirled around in a flash. In just a few breaths, they reappeared in front of Cheng Guang.

After making a full round.

The shock in the eyes of the two old men seemed even more intense.

“Li Er, this is truly strange. Those Saint Dao Fruits on the second floor of the Library, the contamination on them has actually lessened.”

“A thing that’s been tainted for who knows how many years can also be purified?”

The Great Tang Emperor himself revealed a hint of shock upon hearing this, but he quickly composed himself.

“When the Heavenly Dao collapsed back in the day, the path of cultivation was tainted. Countless people were treated like the world’s porcelain by the immortals, Buddhas, and gods, used to purify the corruption of the Dao.”

“The Saint Monk became porcelain for the Buddha Sect, abraded his body for Buddha, and had that great Buddha been tainted, completely fallen into depravity, the world would have faced another great devil causing untold suffering to all living beings.”

“The Saint Monk thought he was saving a Buddha, but in retrospect, it planted a malignance, an utterly bad bargain.”

The Great Tang Emperor muttered to himself.

His mood turned sour.

As the Great Tang Emperor’s mood darkened, the air around seemed to become more oppressive.

The Great Tang subjects, inexplicably gathering from all corners, now cast their gazes upon the Great Tang Emperor.

They had not yet had the chance to speak.

When the Emperor’s piercing gaze swept over them.

“Who told you to come back, leave now.”

The Emperor’s voice was calm and clear.

Near the Library, the figures of various mighty ones, as if struck, retreated quickly, the surrounding mountains and rivers turning to phantoms, to bubbles.

They dived into the bubbles.

Their figures disappeared once again.

The Great Tang Emperor dismissed most with a single command.

Only a few individuals remained, standing cautiously not too far away, heads bowed low, not daring to look towards the Great Tang Emperor.

The Great Tang Emperor, with his hands behind his back, did not look at those few who remained.

Instead, his gaze returned to Cheng Guang.

“Princely Heir, you can go back first. I will have Zhou Qingxu explain the matters of my Great Tang to you later.”

“Whenever you want to come here, simply think ‘Mirror World’ in your heart, and you will be able to sense the existence of the Mirror World.”

Before Cheng Guang could respond to the Great Tang Emperor’s words,

the Emperor spoke again, his back facing Zhou Qingxu, directing his words towards Zhou Qingxu:

“Take the Princely Heir away. Whatever needs to be said, make sure to explain it well to him.”

“From now on, seeing the Princely Heir is like seeing me.”

Zhou Qingxu was initially unsurprised by what the Great Tang Emperor had said to Cheng Guang, allowing Cheng Guang free access to the Mirror World was expected.

After all, most of the Twelve Sect Leaders could.

But gaining access to the Mirror World was one thing; having an audience with the Great Tang Emperor was another altogether.

What truly astonished Zhou Qingxu was the Emperor’s declaration: meeting with Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, was akin to meeting the Great Tang Emperor himself.

Doesn’t this mean…

That Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, had become the highest-ranking person in the entire Great Tang, aside from the Great Tang Emperor himself?

And that all the members of the Twelve Sect Leaders, nearly at the pinnacle of human power, must bow in fealty to Cheng Guang, this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir??

With this in mind.
