Chapter 93: The Six Guards of Heaven

  Hong Jun gazed at Mount Bu Zhou for a long time before turning his head to look at Emperor Jiang. His eyes were distant, and he seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, he said calmly, "You shouldn't stop him, Mount Bu Zhou should be severed." Emperor Jiang didn't respond immediately. Instead, he lowered his head to gaze at the mountain below. From the Heavenly Court, Mount Bu Zhou looked like a tower that pierced the sky, shrouded in mist and clouds from its waist up, giving off an air of mystery. At the same time, it evoked a sense of familiarity. This was Emperor Jiang's hometown, carrying countless memories for him. Perhaps cultivators should have a calm and detached heart, but he couldn't achieve that. He couldn't let go of the people of the Wu tribe or the flowers, grass, and trees on Mount Bu Zhou, even if it meant cutting off his attachments.

  "I think, Mount Zhou should not be cut off." Emperor Jiang slowly turned his head and looked at Hong Jun seriously.

  Hong Jun listened, his eyes still calm, but he started to stare at Emperor Jiang. The people on the side, including Quan Ti, could clearly feel the tense atmosphere and took a few steps back. This time they came over just wanting to save the four days in the west of the 33 days, not intending to intervene in the conflict between these two men.

  After a long time, Hong Jun continued to speak "Now that the Demon Emperor is dead, there is no one in charge of the Heavenly Court. I want to establish Huang Tian and Yao Chi as the masters of the Heavenly Court, you should assist them well."

  The two Western saints did not express any opinion, and the old god stood by himself on one side. The two young boys behind Hong Jun, however, seemed to be very excited, perhaps they didn't expect that Hong Jun would let them become the masters of the heavenly court. ??

  "When the Heavenly Court was first established, there were only two Heavenly Emperors. All living beings in the Primordial Chaos knew this. Now that the Demon Emperor is dead and I, Jiang, am not talented, I am willing to manage the Heavenly Court as the Witch Emperor. I will be known as the Supreme Ruler of the Heavens, the Witch Emperor Tianhuang. If the Ancestor of the Dao is willing, you can call me the Witch Emperor or the Heavenly Ruler." Emperor Jiang said calmly.

  Hong Jun's eyes involuntarily blinked twice, but immediately returned to calmness.

  "The way of heaven is such that above the heavenly court, a realm will naturally form. From this point on, the top of Mount Zhou will no longer be the boundary between heaven and earth. The heavenly realm will comprise thirty-three heavens. Below the nine abysses will be the underworld, and in between will be the earthly immortal realm. I wish to establish six emperors, known as the Six Rulers, to govern the three realms. Hou Tu, being a benevolent sage, can serve as one of the rulers, known as Cheng Tian, following the example of Hou Tu Huang Di, governing the underworld. Huang Tian will be the Golden Canopy Jade Emperor, governing the heavenly realm. Wu Di can also serve as one of the rulers."

  Di Jiang sneered, listening to the messy sound. Among the six Yu, two were left for the Wu tribe, but they were all nominal positions. Hou Tu was a saint of the earth path and originally dominated the underworld, so why did he need others to define his status? As for himself, he didn't even mention dominating anything, how could he agree? Moreover, what he wanted was to monopolize the entire thirty-three heavens without anyone else intervening.

  He couldn't help but say: "Haotian can be the Golden Jade Emperor, the Central Great Emperor, but he can only dominate the Heavenly Court. I am the Supreme Sorcerer Emperor of the Middle Heaven and the Blue Vault, Zhongtian Cangyun, and Julong is the Eastern Extreme Mysterious Severance Qinghua Great Emperor

  The four of us, with Taiyi as the Western Heavenly Emperor, Zhurong as the Southern Longevity Emperor, and Gonggong as the Northern Jade Emperor, together govern the Thirty-Three Heavens. With all six of us in power, it's truly wonderful." Wonderful? Zhuanti couldn't help but sneer at the side, listening to this. The Heavenly Court is vast, and the Thirty-Three Heavens are even more so. To think that one breath could bring down five of the Six Emperors, and yet they call it wonderful. However, at this time, Hongjun and Emperor Jiang were discussing matters of the Heavenly Court, and they couldn't intervene. These two weren't people she could currently afford to provoke. If she spoke up about wanting the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, she would likely lose face. But hearing Emperor Jiang say he wanted to govern the Thirty-Three Heavens still made her anxious - what would happen to her Western Four Heavens?

  Hong Jun listened and his aura fluctuated again, unstable and unpredictable, as if he might strike at any moment to teach a lesson to the audacious Emperor Jiang.

  "The six noble positions can be determined as follows, but the titles should be changed: The Central Great Emperor rules over all heavens, the Middle Heaven Great Emperor rules over all stars, the Eastern Great Emperor rules over all classes, the Western Great Emperor rules over all thunders, the Southern Great Emperor rules over all spirits, and the Northern Great Emperor rules over all lands."

  Hong Jun said that, in short, the Wu tribe must give up the thirty-three days. The Central Great Emperor rules all heavens, and naturally the Wu tribe cannot intervene. As for other things like the myriad stars and myriad classes, they are still just empty titles.

  "Di Jiang coldly snorted, 'This method is not feasible!' But as soon as he finished speaking, a formidable and unmatched aura suddenly descended, and it was Hong Jun who could no longer hold back and took the initiative to make a move."

  Emperor Jiang only saw Hong Jun's big hand waving, and a strong heavenly power pressed down, his heart was also angry when he saw Hong Jun for the first time. Emperor Jiang knew that things couldn't be good, Hong Jun had endured for so long before taking action, which was already beyond Emperor Jiang's expectations.

  "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!" Emperor Jiang shouted loudly, and Zhu Jiu Yin and the others did not hesitate at all. They immediately sprang into action, and in an instant, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was set up, with its power supporting Emperor Jiang's body.

  "This formation is indeed mysterious and subtle." Zhunti said lightly on the side, feeling the surging power of law on Emperor Jiang's body, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved that he hadn't offended him again. Otherwise, with such power, I'm afraid even if the two saints of the Western Paradise joined forces, it would be difficult to take him down. Just thinking about this made me worry more about the four heavenly kings of the Western Heaven.

  Hong Jun coldly gazed at Emperor Jiang, seeing his aura surge greatly without any change in expression. His large hands continued to swing, unleashing countless profound and mysterious powers of the Dao that struck Emperor Jiang's body. Emperor Jiang dodged too late, instantly letting out a loud roar, and unconsciously retreated over ten steps back.

  Struck by Hongjun, Emperor Jiang was not surprised but delighted. This exchange had given him a general understanding of Hongjun's strength, which was only about half a stage higher than his own current magical power, and not yet at an unmatchable level. However, the fact that he could freely borrow from the Heavenly Dao rules made him difficult to block.

  Another intense attack struck him before he could even think, although he himself didn't suffer much injury, the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals began to violently shake. If this continued, he feared that the people within the array would not be able to withstand it. Not daring to resist any further, the Primordial Trigrams Cauldron appeared above his head, and with a direct swing of the Heaven-Weighing Ruler, he struck at Hong Jun. Unfortunately, the Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure, the Four-Colored Lotus Platform, had been destroyed by him earlier, or else it would have provided some defense and made things much easier.

  Hong Jun saw Hong Men's g quantifying the heavenly ruler, and suddenly disappeared from the original place. In an instant, he reappeared behind Emperor Jiang, with countless regular forces hitting the back of Emperor Jiang's head.

  Spatial rules! Emperor Jiang was stunned for a moment, and also used instant teleportation to dodge Hong Jun's attack. However, his heart sank, as Hong Jun's ability to freely borrow the 3,000 rules of the Heavenly Way made him very troublesome. If this continued, defeat was inevitable. In the past, he had always been the one using this move to attack others, but now he found himself on the receiving end.

  In this short period of time, Emperor Jiang was hit by Hong Jun again, and his magical powers scattered. The Great Array of the Ten Thousand Immortals could no longer withstand it, and it collapsed, revealing one after another the witches of the Wu tribe, many of whom looked exhausted, their magic clearly depleted.

  It can't last, this is the biggest drawback of Wanxian Dazhen. Emperor Jiang thought to himself, but there was nothing he could do without the support of the Wu tribe's people's law power, and his own law power suddenly dropped a lot. Now it's inferior to Hongjun's law power by a whole level, and it's only slightly higher than that of Zhunti Jieyin.

  At this time, Hong Jun's attack struck again, hitting Emperor Jiang in the chest, and suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  "Big Brother!" Zhu Jiu Yin and others also emerged from the Wan Xian Great Array, seeing Emperor Jiang injured, they were furious and didn't care about the distance between them and Hong Jun, all of them attacked Hong Jun.

  Hong Jun didn't even look at them, his hands moved again, and countless rules of power struck the five people.

  "My brother is taking a break."

  Just then, Hou Tu suddenly appeared, with the power of earthiness surging in his hands, instantly setting up an earthen wall in front of Zhu Jiu Yin and others, blocking the rule force. At the same time, he looked at Hong Jun with anger.

  Then, Tian Wu and other five ghost emperors also appeared one after another. The twelve ancestor witches gathered together and surrounded Hong Jun in an instant.

  Hong Jun's eyebrows furrowed as he saw the twelve people appear, and his eyes began to grow serious. Bian Shang Zhun Ti couldn't help but stand even farther away at this sight.

  Emperor Jiang glanced at everyone, feeling relieved, and didn't say much. Suddenly, a loud shout erupted, and the power of space surged upwards. The other ancestral witches saw this and knew what Emperor Jiang meant. They began to set up the "Du Tian Shen Sha" grand formation, and suddenly a strong, fierce aura burst out, causing the living beings in the vast wilderness to tremble with fear.

  "Pangu's true form!" Emperor Jiang shouted again, and the entire array of heavenly gods disappeared, leaving only a giant man holding a massive axe. He stared at Hongjun with intense fighting spirit, his body radiating an aura that seemed to be able to crush heaven and earth with just one move.

  Zhun Ti brought the two to meet, and they didn't dare stay any longer. They immediately entered the Western Heaven for four days, took away all the Western disciples inside, and then returned to the Western Spiritual Mountain. The true body of Pan Gu's power was enough to make them look up in awe.

  "Die!" A thick voice rang out, and the big man swung his axe directly at Hong Jun, instantly tearing open a long, black void in space.

  Hongjun hastily dodged, but when he turned back to look, the Heavenly Court and the Thirty-Three Heavens were shaking violently as if they would collapse at any moment, and he was suddenly shocked.

  "The Emperor Jiang has already taken action in the Heavenly Court's sixth trial, I agree with it."

  Pangu's true body looked at Hongjun and said lightly, "But I've changed my mind now. The position of the Central Great Emperor, I don't want to give it up either." Hongjun's face suddenly changed, but immediately calmed down again. "The position of the Central Great Emperor must be yielded to Huangtian, this is the great trend of heaven." "Hahaha, again the great trend of heaven, Hongjun, do you think this kind of talk can satisfy me?" Emperor Jiang said disdainfully.

  "Would you rather have the throne of the Emperor and let the entire Honghuang be destroyed?" Hongjun asked calmly.

  "The destruction of the Honghuang is also a good thing. You often say that those who cannot become saints are just ants, but what will happen to you saints if these ants all die? Will you also fall from your realm or be destroyed?"

  Hong Jun's eyes showed a hint of panic, as if the destruction of the Honghuang would mean there was no more Heavenly Way. Without the Heavenly Way, all these Heavenly Way Saints would fall back to being quasi-Saints, and at the same time be afflicted with the destructive karma of the Heavenly Way, which would absolutely result in their physical and spiritual annihilation.

  "This vast expanse was opened up by Pangu, as his descendant, I have the responsibility to protect it. Moreover, there are so many people of the Wu tribe, do you want to see them perish together?" Hong Jun's face finally lost its calmness.

  "No need to say more, the position of the Central Emperor can be given up, but it must be exchanged for a plain cloud boundary flag." The voice of Emperor Jiang rose again, his tone firm and unyielding.

  Hongjun thought for a moment, and without hesitation, a small flag flew out and landed in Pangu's hand.

  After the plain-colored cloud flag fell into Pangu's hands, it immediately disappeared. At the same time, Emperor Jiang's voice came again: "This matter is over, Daozu should go back." Hongjun coldly looked at Emperor Jiang and then glanced at Mount Buzhou under the Heavenly Court. With a flash of his body, he disappeared on the spot, leaving behind several magical artifacts flying into the bodies of Haotian and Yaochi.

  Watching Hong Jun's disappearing figure, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but ponder, did Hong Jun merge with the Heavenly Dao to enhance his cultivation, or did the Heavenly Dao borrow Hong Jun to produce a divine consciousness, or was it another reason?

  Di Jiang hoped it was for the latter reason, because Hong Jun himself had been his mentor and had helped him in every way.
