“The one punch of the Heavenly Emperor forced the Great Demon Venerate to go against heaven.” Vermilion Bird nodded and came to enlightenment as she said, “Do you mean that punch wasn’t the act of the Heavenly Emperor?”

“He had no reason to do so, hadn’t he?” Heavenly Buddha said, “It is clear that the Abyss is under the govern of the Heaven Court. Hence, what reason did he have to do so? And why did he only kill three venerates? When the Abyss rebelled, the Heavenly Emperor was forced to resist it until the Heaven Court was destroyed at the end of the day. If the Heavenly Emperor were to force the Abyss’s rebellion, he should have destroyed the entire Abyss soon after that punch instead of waiting for the Great Demon Venerate to fight his way into the Heavenly Realm. This is not logical!” Heavenly Buddha analyzed in detail.

“But it was obvious that that punch had invoked the authority and order of heaven and earth. Who else other than the Heavenly Emperor can do so!” Vermilion Bird added, “And regarding the death of Tai Jian, where have his treasures gone? Why have they disappeared all together?”

The many experts around were disappointed once again.

“If!” The Dragon Monarch questioned, “If the punch wasn’t the act of Heavenly Emperor, and the death of Taoist Tai Jian was not the act of the Fo Sect, who else could do so?”

Only an answer popped-up in their mind simultaneously, that was the Saint Lord!

The Saint Lord absolutely could make it. But there were even less reasons for him to do so!

“Guys, I’ve discovered the Sky Demon!” An urgent voice rang out, “Come here fast, he’s running away!”

The experts also sensed the aura of Heavenly Buddha but none of them moved.

“Let’s just kill him first!” Vermilion Bird suggested.

“Taoist Heavenly Buddha shall go first, but must not kill him!” Dragon Monarch suggested.

“Seconded!” The Great Demon Concubine nodded.

Venerate Tai Yin and the others were all looking at Heavenly Buddha.

“Sure!” He was left with no choice other than accepting their request to be the vanguard. What a grievance!

The group of experts went over.

As for the Dao enlightenment? Who else wanted to continue? Tai Jian was killed when he was comprehending Dao.

The matter of culprit identification was put aside because they had too much confusion.

Who was the culprit responsible for Tai Jian’s death?

Where was the Silver Luminance Battle Armor of his? It certainly wouldn’t be scattered after all.

…

On Chuyang Peak.

Jiang Ming remained lying even after he absorbed back the soul of his clones.

‘Unfortunately the Heavenly Buddha is not besieged! The imputation isn’t really a successful one, but well, let it be then!’

‘Along with the improvement of my cultivation base, the Human Path Record is getting more useful!’

Jiang Ming exclaimed to himself.

Its function which allowed his clones to be projected over was indeed very practical.

It was a pity that he was an unambitious man. Else, he would have discovered more usage of the record.

He called up the Human Path Record to continue checking on.

As for the Silver Luminance Battle Armor and the Taiye Sword, the top grade Quasi-Sage weapon of Tai Jian, he totally omitted them after putting them into the space of the Record.

He would refine them during his leisure time.

He would not use them for the time being because using them would cause great troubles if being recognized.

‘Can this Sky Demon be discovered so easily? That’s the seclusive cultivation place of the Saint Demon Lord, somewhere he has been to for numerous times!’

Jiang Ming was rather dubious.

‘Can it be a trap?’

As expected, he managed to make a presumption based on the ‘Status’ of many experts.

Because the Great Demon Venerate knew that he was unable to hide anymore, he showed himself to attract quite a number of experts into a killing formation, where eight Great Overarching experts and a Quasi-Sage expert were instantly garrotted.

It was strange that nobody actually knew who the Quasi-Sage expert was.

After he was killed, he transformed into a giant golden beast, dotted with starlights, emitting the power of stellars’ origin.

It was the Star Beast.

However, there weren’t many experts who cared about it.

In fact, they joined hands to break the great formation. Unfortunately the Great Demon Venerate went into hiding again.

However, the secret realm was, after all, limited in space.

Soon the Great Demon Venerate was again discovered, and was beaten badly. Yet because he had a Saint Weapon, he managed to escape by forcibly evoking its power.

In the depth of the secret realm opened up by the Saint Demon Lord, there was an area shrouded with fog. Quite a number of palaces could be seen vaguely in it.

At this moment, Heavenly Buddha and the others had arrived there.

“The Sky Demon has escaped into it. It’s the innermost part of the secret realm, hence he’s no place to run to anymore!” The Dragon Monarch was excited. “And he has been crippled and badly injured! Guys, how shall we kill him?”

His expression turned frosty.

Behind him were three experts. Each of them had an aura as deep as abyss, powerful and terrifying. There were obviously the venerates from the Dragon Clan.

They were the strength of the Dragon Clan. Their presence made the Dragon Clan comparable to the Sacred Land although the clan had no Saint Lord itself.

“Kill him and you’ll get the title of Heavenly Emperor!” Vermillion Bird’s eyes glimmered and looked at Heavenly Buddha, “He still has the Blood Banner with him. Taoist, what would you suggest on dividing the trophy?”

“Err…” The Heavenly Buddha looked at Vermilion Bird with a passionate smile remaining on his face. But he secretly gritted his teeth, ‘This b*tch is adding fuel to the fire. Now that I’m being questioned, how can I publicly seek for benefits? If I don’t say anything now, I can still snatch later. However, if I were to snatch after expressing my position now, I’ll lose all my credibility and image. But there are the Saint item, Demi-Sage weapon and the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Shall I just snatch them regardless?’

‘No, no way, I must not. Once I do so, my Fo Sect would be publicly targeted. It’s unfortunate that we don’t have overwhelming power against all influences in the world yet. Otherwise, I shall make them all monks, and make them prostrate beneath the golden lotus. By that time, I’ll certainly be capable of sanctifying my Dao with ease. However, shall I just give up on the Saint items just like that? Can I still get another one after losing this opportunity?’

As Heavenly Buddha thought, he replied quickly, “It’s alright that I don’t kill the Sky Demon but how are you guys going to separate the Saint item and the Demi-Sage Weapon?”
