Chapter 1262: Transcending the Path of Celestial Lord
“Why should we be anxious? We don’t have the strength to resist anyway. The ones who should be anxious should be the Emperor Clan!”
An Immortal King revealed the truth.
Indeed, compared to Immortal Kings like them, the ones who should be anxious should be the Emperor Clans.
Basically, this was because Immortal Kings were unable to resist the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court controlled more than 50% of the Heaven Realm’s strength. Even if these Immortal Kings joined forces to oppose, they wouldn’t defeat the Heavenly Court.
Some Immortal Kings were roaming outside the Heavenly Court and weren’t under their control. The underlying reason was that they belonged to Emperor Clans.
These independent Emperor Clans were the reason why the Heavenly Court’s strength was scattered.
This was also because the Heaven Realm’s foundation was shockingly deep. If it was an ordinary upper-cla.s.s world with so many va.s.sals, it would have long declined. How could it still be able to obtain the top position in the World of Realms?
And just as many people thought, this news also caused a stir within Emperor Clan.
“Emperor Lu is provoking our order!”
“What good is it for him to do this? The Heavenly Court isn’t his alone. How many years can he rule for? Why must he be so ruthless? In the future, he will also establish the Emperor Clan!”
“Even the Moon Empress wouldn’t dare to treat us like this. He is just a newbie. What right does he have?”
The issue of the Power Centralization Decree instantly caused a commotion in the Emperor Clans. The Emperor Clans were used to being free and unfettered. Since the supreme ancient Immortal Realms, this set of rules had always been in place.
Now that Lu Xuan wanted to implement another set of rules, one could very well imagine how much of a commotion it would cause to them.
However, the pressure on Lu Xuan was simply too great. Although this decree was only in its embryonic form, it already created ma.s.sive pressure on all the major powers in the Heaven Realm.
The Immortal Kings were all forced to make a choice. If they didn’t listen to the orders of the Heavenly Court, it would be tantamount to treason. Ordinary Immortal Kings didn’t have the guts to rebel against the Heavenly Court.
With the Heavenly Court’s strength, even if they couldn’t control the entire Heaven Realm’s strength, it would be a piece of cake for them to deal with a few Immortal Kings.
The only ones they could rely on were the Emperor Clans!
What was surprising was that the Emperor Clans had also split up. The Emperor Clans, which always had a common position on this issue, had completely split up.
The Shi Family was the first to surrender to the Heavenly Court. The Shi Family, which had just been beaten up by Lu Xuan, reacted quickly on this issue. They responded to the Heavenly Court’s proposal almost immediately and handed over their own family’s Immortal Kings, the list of Great Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals. They also indicated that they are willing to go through fire and water for any mission from the Heavenly Court in the future.
For a time, many people were shocked and cursed at them. They were despicable and shameless people who were as timid as mice.
Before the Heavenly Court made any move, the Shi Family had given up the pride of being an Emperor Clan and just prostrated at Lu Xuan’s feet.
“Could it be that they have forgotten that they were just taught a lesson by Emperor Lu and suffered heavy casualties, causing their strength to plummet?” An Immortal King lamented.
What made many people gnash their teeth in hatred was that in their eyes, Lu Xuan had such thoughts because he was targeted by the Shi Family back then. The Shi Family used an independent force outside of the Heavenly Court to deal with Lu Xuan. That was why Lu Xuan wanted to deal with these va.s.sal cities.
The Shi Family was the culprit of the matter but was the first to admit defeat. It was simply detestable.
However, an Immortal King faintly said, “Don’t forget, you can’t write two words with one stroke! No matter how much they fight among themselves, don’t forget that even if his surname is Lu, he still has the bloodline of the Rock Emperor. After all, they are still a family!”
At this moment, everyone remembered that no matter how much they fought internally, they still had the same bloodline. They were all one family.
Many people thought that they would become mortal enemies, but it didn’t become a reality. If their strength was evenly matched, it might still be possible.
However, Lu Xuan had used his absolute strength to prove his cultivation, becoming the second Imperial Emperor of the Shi Family after the Rock Emperor.
In addition, the Shi Family’s most hostile faction, the Shi Tatian sect, had been uprooted. The remaining people did not have much animosity toward Lu Xuan, to begin with.
Moreover, the Shi Family wanted to improve their relationship with Lu Xuan and get close to him. How could they not seize the opportunity at this time?
Therefore, in many people’s eyes, it was very typical for the Shi Family to seek refuge.
In the Imperial Palace Lu, Lu Xuan had just received the information of the cultivators above the Golden Immortal level from the Shi Family. It could be considered as a surrender, and it was very sincere. It actually included the Golden Immortal level.
It looked as if they were going to sacrifice their life for the Heavenly Court!
Lu Xuan took the information, comforted him a few times, and then sent him away.
“As expected of an old fox. They can still see the situation clearly!” Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The Shi Family wanted to improve their relationship, and their desire to curry favor with the Shi Family was almost apparent.
However, Lu Xuan didn’t dislike it. The Shi Family’s support at this moment had a role model effect, and it could break lots of Emperor Clan’s schemes. Moreover, the Shi Family’s Shi Tatian sect, which was always against him, was already wiped out.
As for the rest, he no longer had any thoughts of revulsion.
No matter how many Emperor Clans opposed this policy, he had to carry it out. In his opinion, the current Heavenly Court was still far from the peak state.
When he became an emperor in his previous life, he did not have such a good environment. Not only did he have the Moon Empress above him, but also Immortal Emperor who became an emperor one step ahead of him. There were also a few returning Imperial Emperors.
With so many Imperial Emperors present simultaneously, Lu Xuan could not let go of his hands and feet to carry out the reform of the Heavenly Court.
This was also a regret of Lu Xuan’s previous life. Till now, he wanted to take advantage of the time when he was the only Imperial Emperor in the entire Heavenly Court to finish the matter.
Although there were tens of millions of people, he still had to go!
Lu Xuan still had this bit of boldness. If he continued to let these Emperor Clans wander outside the Heavenly Court, it would definitely not benefit the entire Heavenly Court.
Although the Heavenly Court was currently one of the most powerful forces in the World Of Realms, he could be even stronger. With the current strength of the Heavenly Court, it would definitely not be able to satisfy the ambition in Lu Xuan’s heart.
Unify the World Of Realms!
Unify the World Of Realms once again under the Heaven Realm!
This was also the most crucial goal in Lu Xuan’s heart. He had never mentioned it to anyone before.
If he were to say it, it was likely that the entire World Of Realms would be in an uproar. He would also become the enemy of everyone in the World Of Realms!
Because no one could allow him to do this!
Once he did this, no one knew what would happen!
And this was the path of transcendence that Lu Xuan had figured out himself!
In this life, was his goal only to be a Celestial Lord?
No, he wanted to surpa.s.s the Celestial Lord!
This was the common goal of all Celestial Lords, and everyone had their own path!
And this is the path of Lu Xuan, which is his road too!
