Chapter 1061: Chapter 1052: The Missing Immortal Gods

The Emperor of Heaven Burial looked at the purple rift ahead, showing no surprise, merely gazing at it coldly.

The red mist within the purple rift was like demons baring their fangs and claws, oppressive and terrifying, accompanied by a rustling sound.

“Emperor of Heaven Burial, with your current ability, it’s impossible for you to defeat the Celestial Emperor, who has already shown the Saint Minister.”

An ancient voice emanated from within the red mist, echoing softly.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven Burial squinted his eyes and asked, “Oh? And who are you to discern the Saint Minister of the Celestial Emperor?”

There have always been legends of Saints circulating in the chaos, and the Emperor of Heaven Burial had seen records regarding the tales of Saints, half-believing, for the path to sainthood had no clues. After reaching the Ultimate Fusion Emperor Realm, he gradually forgot about the legends of Saints, for he believed that the Ultimate Fusion Emperor was the strongest realm.

Even if defeated by the Celestial Emperor, he believed this to be true.

After all, the Celestial Emperor was only a stronger Ultimate Fusion Emperor.

“I am the Luoxu Saint Venerable; do you think Beloved can see through why?”

The ancient voice sounded again, making the Emperor of Heaven Burial furrowed his brow, filled with vigilance.

Saint Venerable?

Such arrogance!

Yet…

The Emperor of Heaven Burial found himself unable to deduce the cause and effect behind the Luoxu Saint Venerable.

This made him uneasy, his instincts telling him that the other party came with ill intentions.

He remained silent, only staring at the red mist within the purple rift.

Luoxu Saint Venerable’s voice echoed once more: “Beloved is on his way to the chaos; you become Beloved’s chess piece, and Beloved can fulfill all your wishes, including resurrecting your Daoist lineage.”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven Burial laughed, a contemptuous laugh.

He slowly stood up, his gaze turning sharp as he said, “Are all Saints so direct?”

Luoxu Saint Venerable replied, “You only need to agree or refuse.”

“If I refuse, what will you do?”

The Emperor of Heaven Burial asked forcefully, feeling insulted.

Regardless of whether Saints truly exist, he was an ancient being of chaos; in his eyes, only the Celestial Emperor was a worthy opponent.

He did not fear death.

“If you refuse, Beloved will retract the power, making your realm fall back to the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal Realm.”

Luoxu Saint Venerable’s tone remained indifferent, unchanged.

The Emperor of Heaven Burial’s face changed, solemnly asking: “What do you mean? What do you mean by your power?”

“Why pretend to be ignorant, aren’t you often confused, worrying that your power may not be real?”

Though Luoxu Saint Venerable’s tone was calm, it felt mocking to the Emperor of Heaven Burial, igniting his fury.

Boom—

The Emperor of Heaven Burial suddenly waved his sleeve, using his great magical power to disperse the purple rift, causing the entire dark hall to tremble.

Seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven Burial sighed in relief, unable to sense the other’s presence anymore.

It seemed the other party, as he had said, had yet to arrive in chaos.

Upon calming down, the Emperor of Heaven Burial felt deeply fearful.

There was actually a Saint beyond chaos!

No wonder he hadn’t seen a Saint despite living so long, only hearing legends.

Why did the Saint leave chaos, and why return?

Is it because the Celestial Emperor is about to achieve sainthood?

Thinking of this possibility, the Emperor of Heaven Burial’s eyes turned blood-red.

He hated the Celestial Emperor, hated the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, he wouldn’t have founded the God Slaughter List.

“Beloved can grant you power and can take it back; however, Beloved can also give you even greater power, consider carefully. When Beloved arrives in chaos, wishing to turn back then won’t count.”

Luoxu Saint Venerable’s voice suddenly echoed within the hall, causing the Emperor of Heaven Burial’s complexion to darken once more.

…

In the Heavenly Realm, Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace.

Gu An sat at his Immortal Position, a long table before him, flipping through the Heavenly Book idly.

He only raised his eyes when footsteps approached.

The newcomer was Xuanqing Star Lord.

Only Xuanqing Star Lord and a few Heavenly Officials were allowed to enter the palace directly, which Gu An permitted.

Gu An had always held a good impression of Xuanqing Star Lord, for Xuanqing Star Lord was one of the few Immortal Gods in the Celestial Court who prioritized the safety of all beings under the Heavenly Dao.

He sought no fame or fortune, nor did he pursue cultivation, merely aiming to unearth truly righteous Immortal Gods for the Celestial Court.

Since the New Heavenly Emperor ascended, he had discovered many Immortals, though more Immortal Gods disapproved of him.

These Immortal Gods thought his Immortal Authority exceeded his Immortal Position, which was extremely unreasonable, and over the years he had often been targeted, yet he never held grudges, nor did he complain to the Celestial Emperor.

Over time, more Immortal Gods began to change their perception of Xuanqing Star Lord.

“Greetings, Supreme.”

Xuanqing Star Lord arrived at the steps, cheerfully saying, his tone resembling that used with a close old friend, though his demeanor was respectful.

Gu An looked down at him and asked, “What’s the matter now?”

Xuanqing Star Lord sighed, “What’s with now? Since the Chaos Force retreated, I haven’t troubled you again.”

Gu An smiled faintly, “Is that so? Then today, don’t ask me anything.”

“Ahem, let’s say this matter isn’t a trouble.” Xuanqing Star Lord feigned a cough and replied.

Gu An watched him smilingly, said nothing.

Xuanqing Star Lord, with a serious expression, said, “Since Cangming’s annihilation, the Celestial Court has been exploring the chaos, and recently many Immortal Gods have gone missing. The Emperor even sent a Supreme to investigate, but the same disappearance occurred.”

Gu An’s right hand rested on the tabletop, his index finger lightly tapping, seemingly in contemplation.

Xuanqing Star Lord’s spirit invigorated, believing the Supreme was deducing the matter.

He continued to narrate the situation he had learned.

Currently, the missing Immortal Gods exceeded a thousand, with notably high Immortal Positions, and the matter hadn’t spread within the Celestial Court yet, fearing it might cause panic.

For the Celestial Court, peace had just arrived; if word of another major trouble broke, it would surely shake the Celestial Court.

After Xuanqing Star Lord finished narrating, he looked expectantly at Gu An, asking, “Supreme, have you deduced anything?”

In the Celestial Court, the only existence possibly stronger than the Celestial Emperor was the one he currently looked at.

His visit was also sent by the Celestial Emperor, indicating the Celestial Emperor was also helpless and could only seek assistance from the Merit Suppressing God Venerable.

Gu An came back to his senses and asked, “Have you deeply grasped the Merit Immortals?” Follow current novels on ⓝovelFire.net

Xuanqing Star Lord froze, asking confusedly, “The Heavenly Tao Immortal Book in my hand can merely induct Merit Immortals, not control them; why does the Supreme ask this?”

Gu An languidly said, “Rather than tracing those missing Immortal Gods, you should pay attention to the Celestial Court’s internal affairs.”

Xuanqing Star Lord frowned, asking, “What do you mean? Supreme, are you suggesting an enemy has successfully been inducted as a Merit Immortal?”

He had been strict in evaluating the Merit Immortals; if other Immortal Gods said this, he would definitely be defensive.

But from the mouth of the Merit Suppressing God Supreme, his first reaction was fear.

He began recalling the Merit Immortals he recruited, thinking about which ones seemed suspicious.

Gu An chuckled softly, “No, not just Merit Immortals, many Immortal Gods have already changed in nature.”
