297: Now, do I have enough?

Is this guy crazy? He actually wants to take the Heavenly Court?

If the Heavenly Court is lost, not to mention the other Great Xia Gods, even he himself will gradually perish due to the loss of Power Of Faith.

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue looked at the Master of the Heavens before them, a trace of heartache and unfamiliarity growing in their hearts.

"Tongtian, we have no objection if you want to establish your own sect, but it's a bit too much to set your sights on the Heavenly Court," Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"By doing this, you are disregarding the lives of the Great Xia Gods. Those are all your descendants! Can you bear to see them displaced?" Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue questioned.

The Master of the Heavens was not affected by their words in the slightest.

"I have already considered the issue of their retreat. As long as they are willing to join the Jie Sect, the doors of my Biyou Palace are always open for them.

Yuanshi, Daode, my words are equally valid for you."

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning shook his head, "I can probably guess what you intend to do, but you know better than us how difficult it is to establish a divine kingdom.

Even if you are absolutely confident, Sun City is currently eyeing Great Xia covetously. Is this the right time for you to demand the Heavenly Court from us?

Although the Heavenly Court is incomplete, with it, we can still contend with Sun City for a while.

If the Yaochi Wonderland had not suffered that accident back then, we would still have a trump card.

But now, Queen Mother of the West needs to suppress the Yaochi Wonderland that has been corrupted by the Cthulhu Gods. If we give you the Heavenly Court, we will truly be at our wits' end.

Tongtian, I know what kind of deal you made with that Song Zhong, but I advise you to face reality."

The Master of the Heavens narrowed his eyes. He shook his head and said, "In your current state, what can you do even with the Heavenly Court?

It will only make the backlash more severe.

As for Sun City, I have my own method to defeat the enemy."

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue looked indifferent, "Since you have a way, why come to us?"

"My method to defeat the enemy is to refine the Zhu Xian Sword Formation with the Heavenly Court as its foundation."

"Refine the Zhu Xian Sword Formation?" A surprised expression appeared on Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning's face.

As the most destructive formation in the Great Xia Divine Kingdom, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was developed by Ling Bao Celestial Sovereign himself.

With the four Sharp Weapons of Slaughter—Zhu Xian, Lu Xian, Xian Xian, and Jue Xian—as the formation's core, it can summon countless Sword Qi to fill the formation.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation thrives on slaughter, not only possessing unparalleled destructive power but also fearless of consumption.

In the past, Great Xia was able to suppress other mythological systems to a certain extent precisely because of the terrifying power of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

However, the consumption of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is extremely terrifying, requiring the power of the Divine Kingdom's Origin as a backup support.

This is also the reason for the Master of the Heavens' visit this time. If he can successfully obtain it, he can also fulfill his promise to Song Zhong and become the sole spokesperson of the Heavenly Court.

The Master of the Heavens said in a deep voice, "That's right, as long as Great Xia has the Zhu Xian Sword Formation and me, it will not fear invasion from outer gods."

The Master of the Heavens' method is indeed an effective solution.

"What if the refinement fails? You know, we don't have the luxury of taking risks," Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning asked.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation is indeed terrifyingly powerful, but the process of refining the formation is also extremely complex. Without thorough preparation, the possibility of failure is still very high.

"Hesitating and not moving forward, Yuanshi, you are just slowly dying like this," Tongtian said bluntly.

"It's not that I'm indecisive, but I have too much responsibility on my shoulders and cannot act rashly," Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning continued, "Unless you can produce something more convincing."

The Master of the Heavens was a bit impatient. He hadn't expected his two former friends to be so difficult to deal with.

Just then, a faint, ethereal laugh suddenly echoed from above Jiuhua Mountain.

"Hehehe... Tongtian, you're taking so long, you're a bit slow!"

The three deities were all drawn by this voice.

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue frowned simultaneously, while the Master of the Heavens showed a hint of doubt.

Why did Song Zhong show up early?

The Master of the Heavens did not come to Jiuhua Mountain without any preparation.

Before ascending the mountain, he had already discussed it with Song Zhong.

After all, how could one not make some preparations for something like demanding a divine kingdom?

The two of them put their heads together and came to the conclusion that if negotiations failed, they would simply take it by force.

In any case, this operation must succeed, and failure is not an option.

And Song Zhong was originally supposed to appear only during the forceful takeover stage. Now, the two sides haven't completely shut down negotiations; there's still room for maneuver.

But now that Song Zhong had appeared, it was too late to say anything.

Song Zhong lightly landed on the mountaintop. Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue's expression changed, "It really was you pulling strings behind the scenes."

Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue had never directly interacted with Song Zhong. His understanding of Song Zhong came entirely from Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning's descriptions.

Thus, the image of a malevolent mastermind was born in Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue's mind.

"Hey, hey, don't put it so harshly. Master of the Heavens and I can save Great Xia from its predicament," Although Song Zhong's words were eloquent, the sinister smile on his face made them utterly unconvincing.

"Saving Great Xia? You two are gambling with Great Xia, dancing on a knife's edge."

Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue couldn't vent his anger on the Master of the Heavens, but he didn't care as much about Song Zhong. "Even if you two lose the bet, the only losses will be the Heavenly Court's Origin and our Great Xia Gods."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhong burst out laughing, "My friend, if I don't gamble with you, should I gamble with my own life and fortune?"

"You..." Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue was choked by Song Zhong's roguish words, unable to speak. "You... you are truly shameless."

"What's wrong with being shameless? The pressure of life and death is on your side now, not mine," Song Zhong's smile remained. "You need to recognize one thing: now, it is I and Tongtian who are your only lifeline."

Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue clenched his fists. He looked back at Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning.

Since Song Zhong arrived, Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning had remained silent.

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning stared at Song Zhong and asked, "It seems you two are determined to have the Heavenly Court today, then?"

"That's right. The Heavenly Court's repair failed, and you suffered a backlash. Choosing to go to war with us now is not a wise move.

Moreover, Fengdu has already been refined by me, so there's no possibility of repairing the Heavenly Court anymore.

Therefore, whether to give us the Heavenly Court is no longer a choice."

Song Zhong revealed his pale teeth, directly stating his intentions.

Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning looked at Song Zhong and slowly said, "You are not qualified to speak presumptuously about the future of Great Xia with your stature."

"Oh?" A playful smile appeared on Song Zhong's face, and then four ethereal figures slowly emerged behind him.

As the four phantoms appeared, the entire Jiuhua Mountain changed color, and a dark, oppressive aura made even Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue gasp for breath.

"Hehehe, gentlemen, I wonder if my stature is sufficient now?"
