Chapter 993 In One Step, Millennia Passed
?
Within that illusion, there stood an old man dressed in a seven-colored robe and wearing a golden crown.
In the old man's hands, he held an ethereal pagoda, radiating divine light, suppressing a grand palace.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Court has collapsed, and I am powerless to protect the entire World Plaza. I can only seal the Myriad Worlds Hall and await your return."
The figures in front of Duan Min needed to shout, their forms merging with the pagoda in their hands, then crashing into the palace, pressing it down and taking it into the void.
"In the past, Duan Chengzi managed the Myriad Worlds Hall, and Your Majesty taught him the method of teleportation from the Immortal World. Duan Chengzi was devoted to formations, willingly researching array methods and managing this place."
Gao Xiaoxuan pointed at the figure in the scene with his finger and softly said, "This is Duan Chengzi, Heavenly Venerable Guangfa."
He was a mighty being who connected the myriad realms through formations. If he didn't seal the World Hall, he would undoubtedly be able to roam freely between heaven and earth.
He could have chosen to hide in the background like other mighty beings, gaining boundless freedom and the opportunity to go to the Immortal World.
However, he chose to seal the Myriad Worlds Hall and protect the main hub of the Divine Court that was connected to the Myriad Worlds.
"Heavenly Venerable Guangfa…" Han Muye's gaze fell upon the illusory figure, speaking softly.
He had seen this name on the register of the Divine Court Treasury.
Three of the four Nine Essence Sword Pagodas in the Divine Court Treasury had been taken away.
Yangwei General Shao Yuan, Heavenly Venerable Guangfa Duan Chengzi, and another whose name had been erased.
The figure was wielding the Nine Essence Sword Pagoda.
The Sword Pavilion possessed the ability to traverse worlds, so it made sense that the Nine Essence Sword Pagoda had the power of space.
Using this treasure to suppress the central hub of world teleportation was indeed possible.
"Duan Min, do you know where Senior Duan Chengzi is now?" Han Muye looked at Duan Min and asked softly.
Duan Chengzi was the Duan family's ancestor.
If Duan Chengzi had chosen to abandon the suppression of the World Hall and instead focused on establishing the power of the Duan family, the Duan family would probably have become one of the top three major families in the Upper Three Heavens.
Duan Min had various emotions regarding their ancestral elder.
Resentment?
Respect?
Upon hearing Han Muye's words, Duan Min clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I know where the place where Patriarch Duan Chengzi suppressed is, but I cannot be certain whether the Myriad Worlds Hall can be opened or not."
Duan Chengzi was suppressing the Myriad Worlds Hall and waiting for the Divine Emperor to return.
Although Han Muye was the successor chosen by the Divine Emperor, Han Muye had no intention of rebuilding the Divine Court.
Duan Min was uncertain whether Han Muye could gain the recognition of Duan Chengzi and obtain control of the central hub of the Myriad Worlds Hall.
"No matter, I should also pay a visit to this senior elder." Han Muye smiled and spoke softly.
These cultivators who were steadfast for countless millennia, driven by a single thought, deserved respect.
These individuals were the true foundation and essence of the cultivation world.
After seven days, Han Muye left the Medicine Valley.
This time, he only brought three former members of the Divine Court's army, Divine Court soldiers, and Gao Xiaoxuan.
Huang Six and the others remained in the Medicine Valley.
Mu Wan communicated with the great demons and made progress in alchemy while in seclusion.
It would be pointless to bring too many people to search for Duan Chengzi, an ancient powerful figure of the Divine Court.
It would be better for Han Muye to bring his former Divine Court members and Gao Xiaoxuan.
He was also a little curious. Heavenly Venerable Guangfa, Duan Chengzi was the person guarding the Myriad Worlds Hall. Then was the person who guarded the Sword Pavilion General Yang Wei or the person whose name had been erased?
Although he had a good relationship with the Sword Pavilion, they wouldn't share such information with him.
The flying ship traveled through the void, appearing to return to the Imperial Medicine Garden.
However, halfway through the void, it changed direction and headed towards another fragmented place where the Divine Court had fallen.
"When the ancient mighty beings besieged the Divine Court, it wasn't really a secret," Gao Xiaoxuan sighed softly as he looked at the scattered void ahead.
There were not so many secrets in the world.
Moreover, when powerful beings from all sides collaborated in such a large-scale operation?
It's just that the Divine Emperor had his own intentions, wanting to use the hands of the various powerful beings to seal the Immortal Ascension Platform.
Everyone had anticipated the results they had calculated, but they forgot about human nature.
The result the Divine Emperor desired was the sealing of the Immortal Ascension Platform, isolating the Immortal Realm from this realm, allowing all cultivators to live freely and eternally.
The results the various powerful beings wanted were the collapse of the Divine Court, no longer having anyone to oppress them in this realm, and enjoying carefree eternal life.
They all obtained the results they desired, but the final result was not what they wanted.
The collapse of the Divine Court, the sealing of the Immortal Ascension Platform, the path to ascension severed, and the fragmentation of the myriad realms.
"In worldly matters, human efforts are ultimately limited," Han Muye shook his head and said calmly, "We should just do our best."
His current task was to activate various treasures from the ancient Divine Court era and make the cultivation world prosper.
When the Immortal Ascension Platform opened 3,000 years later, more people could ascend to the Immortal World.
However, no matter how well he did, would he really receive everyone's unanimous support if he told them what he wanted to do?
That would be impossible.
The more he did, the more the major sects felt that he had the ambition to unify the cultivation world and rebuild the Divine Court.
IThese major sects would never be willing to be oppressed by the Divine Court.
If he honestly told everyone that he only wanted to use the treasures of the Divine Court to strengthen the cultivation world, who would believe him?
Who would believe that?
If he really said that, those former members of the Divine Court and those who still held the glory of the Divine Court in their hearts would likely lose faith.
Didn't Xia Zhenhu, Duan Min, and the others submit to Han Muye because of their yearning for the glory of the Divine Court?
Even if Han Muye told them that he had no intention to rebuild the Divine Court, they would only assume that Han Muye was hiding his true intentions and was unwilling to reveal them.
If Han Muye openly declared that he would not rebuild the Divine Court, the former members of the Divine Court under his command would disperse, and the powerful individuals guarding the resources of the Divine Court would not hand over their resources to him.
