427: A sacred item is required to transcend this tribulation!

"Good, good, good!"

A ring flew out from the black and white passage and landed in front of Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao swept it with his Divine Thought and found 15 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid inside.

"Wouldn't it have been better this way from the start? Thanks for the gift from the Mohe Ancient Clan."

Chu Xiao casually flicked his hand, using Stars Shifting to send Mohetian in front of Mohe Huang, leaving both of them no time to react.

"Scram. From now on, Tianluo Continent is this Emperor's territory. Your Mohe Ancient Clan is not welcome here."

Mohe Huang's expression was extremely grim, but he knew he was nothing in front of Chu Xiao. He took Mohetian and escaped into the black and white passage.

"Junior, our clan cannot be insulted."

The black and white passage began to dissipate, and the ancient voice came again from the other side.

"You only have three years. If no Saint Grade is born in the Heavenly Court, even if you offer 30 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid, you won't be able to keep it."

Hearing this, Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he calmly replied, "Thank you for the reminder. By then, the Heavenly Court will naturally have a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign."

Chu Xiao knew what the threat from the Mohe Ancient Clan's Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign meant.

The Great Thousand World has the Great Thousand Alliance, left behind by the Immortal Great Emperor after he sealed the Heavenly Evil God with his life.

Every thousand years, the Heavenly Supreme gates of the Great Thousand World receive a Great Thousand Invitation to go to Northern Wasteland Hill to reinforce the Formation and purify the Heavenly Evil God.

There are still over forty years until the next node, which is also the last Great Thousand Alliance.

The Formation operates continuously, and every ten years, the Great Thousand Palace selects Heavenly Supremes to guard it and rotate shifts.

The Mohe Ancient Clan holds considerable sway in this matter, and with tens of thousands of years of contributions, it wouldn't be a problem for them to secure leave for the Heavenly Supremes who need to be dispatched.

In other words, the Mohe Ancient Clan three years from now will be at its peak, with at least three Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns guarding the clan.

Coupled with the Great Thousand Alliance's restrictions on top-tier Super Powers like the Tailing Ancient Clan, Ancient Floating Pagoda Clan, and True Dragon Clan.

Unless a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign joins the Heavenly Court and receives recognition from the Great Thousand Palace, obtaining a Great Thousand Golden Invitation.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to withstand the Mohe Ancient Clan's retribution!

"Ridiculous."

The Mohe Ancient Clan's Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign felt that Chu Xiao was just being stubborn.

They had paid such a huge price this time, mainly losing both Face and dignity, and they had to get it back.

Chu Xiao couldn't be bothered to argue with them. His gaze fell on the other two: "Ghost Emperor, hand over the Ancient Harmonizing God Mirror, equivalent to 5 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid."

"Ancestor Danyang, you can use the remains of an Ancient Mandala flower from your former Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme self, equivalent to 5 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid."

"City Lord Youxuan, my Heavenly Court lacks a constellation. If you join with Xuanyin City, the 5 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid will be waived."

As he spoke, Chu Xiao raised his hand to control the mohe ancient diagram.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred-mile radius was completely mobilized—an ability only Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns possessed.

At the same time, the Yin and Yang Twin Fish appeared, carrying power that could return everything to the void, making the three Immortal Grade Heavenly Supremes feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.

"Here." The Ghost Emperor reluctantly handed over the Ancient Harmonizing God Mirror, then left with the Spirit Ghost Gate's Earth Supremes.

"Before tomorrow, I will have someone deliver the remains of the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme Ancient Mandala flower." Ancestor Danyang cupped his fist at Chu Xiao, then waved his hand, leading the Danyang Mountain people away.

The items Chu Xiao asked them to hand over were normally worth more than 5 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

But since the Mohe Ancient Clan had paid 15 billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid, they truly didn't dare to bargain.

"Heavenly Emperor." City Lord Youxuan began to speak, intending to decline the invitation.

Chu Xiao was indeed exceptionally talented, and the Heavenly Court's future would certainly be stronger than Xuanyin City's.

But he was accustomed to freedom and didn't want to become anyone's subordinate.

"This Emperor can refine Immortal Grade Spirit Pills, one of which is called the Soul Restoring Divine Transformation Pill." Chu Xiao interrupted City Lord Youxuan: "If your wife takes it, her divine soul can be repaired, and she can even reach the Heavenly Supreme Realm."

City Lord Youxuan's Face showed excitement: "Is that true?"

"This Emperor doesn't need to lie to you." Chu Xiao raised his hand, put away the mohe ancient diagram, and placed it into his Supreme Sea.

"Good!" City Lord Youxuan immediately agreed: "As long as the Heavenly Emperor can save my beloved wife, Xuanyin City will be a part of the Heavenly Court from now on, obeying the Heavenly Emperor's commands."

"A wise decision. You may return now." Chu Xiao gently waved his hand, signaling City Lord Youxuan to leave.

He then put away the Purple Micro Heavenly Astral Tower and used Stars Shifting to take everyone back to the Heavenly Court's Ling Xiao Palace.

"Hiss!"

Without time to react, they arrived inside the Thirty-Three Layer Ling Xiao Palace. Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, the Lord of Darkness, the Flame Lord, and all the other Heavenly Court powerhouses were shocked.

The Heavenly Emperor's strength was becoming increasingly profound and unfathomable, beyond their comprehension.

If Chu Xiao were to act now, they combined would probably not be a match for even a single move.

"Thanks to the True Dragon Clan, Ancient Floating Pagoda Clan, and Tailing Ancient Clan for assisting the Heavenly Court."

Chu Xiao sat high on the central throne, looking at the center of the main hall.

"Heavenly Emperor is too kind." The three dared not be presumptuous.

Not to mention that Chu Xiao was now an Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme, already enough to be on equal footing with them.

The foundation displayed by the Heavenly Court alone was enough for them to take seriously and treat as equals.

Within a hundred years, the Heavenly Emperor would surely reach Saint Grade, becoming one of the strongest individuals in the Great Thousand World.

"If the three of you have time, you may stay for a short while in the Heavenly Court."

"This Emperor is preparing to open a furnace for Alchemy. Besides Spirit Grade and Immortal Grade Spirit Pills, there will also be a quasi-Saint Grade Medicinal Pill, which will be publicly auctioned."

Hearing this, the three who were about to politely decline staying immediately agreed.

A quasi-Saint Grade Medicinal Pill would definitely be highly valued and contested by their backing forces, while they themselves would want to compete for Immortal Grade Spirit Pills.

"Heavenly Emperor, you don't seem to have fully Broken Through to Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme yet?" The True Dragon Clan powerhouse standing beside Zi Yan asked curiously.

As a Super Divine Beast, he had a special sense and always felt that Chu Xiao's current situation was very strange.

These words caused a huge stir in everyone's hearts.

He's already this powerful, and he's not even an Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme yet?

"Indeed, strictly speaking, I am not an Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme, nor even a Heavenly Supreme; I'm still a little short." Chu Xiao didn't hide it, laughing heartily: "My supreme dharma body manifestation is guarding the Heavenly Court. I haven't undergone tribulation since my Breakthrough."

"In the Heavenly Supreme Realm, only after bathing in the Lightning Tribulation will the Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation undergo a fundamental change, and only then can a Heavenly Supreme achieve the unity of person and Dharma."

"So, I still have quite a distance to go before reaching Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme."

Everyone: "..."

This was clearly even more monstrous.

His supreme dharma body manifestation hadn't grown stronger, yet he could still Break Through to the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme level.

"However, undergoing this Spirit Tribulation is not difficult, that's for sure."

Chu Xiao suddenly looked up and gently waved his hand.

The next moment, Ziwei starlight descended, forming a sky curtain on the dome.

High above, the Purple Heavens Lightning had gathered at some unknown time, terrifyingly abnormal.

Any single bolt of this lightning could obliterate an Earth Supreme, turning their Supreme Sea into dust.

Among the tribulations to undergo for breaking through to Heavenly Supreme, this lightning was legendary.

Yet, at this moment, it appeared openly and grandly.

"How is this possible?"

"Terrifying as such."
