Chapter 1427: Deceit and Scheming (Second Update)

In the Heavenly Court, the ten Heavenly Venerables—Hạo, Cung, Tổ, Hồng, Hỏa, Nghiên, Tường, Lang, Hư, Thạch—gathered together to discuss the matter of pacifying Huyền Đô. Hỏa Thiên Tôn asked: "Huyền Đô's thần khí Ngự Thiên Tôn was suppressed by Thiên Công, and the Linh Năng Đối Khiêu Kiều was also destroyed. Tổ Thần Vương, do you know what biến cố has occurred?"

Tổ Thần Vương said: "Huyền Đô's Thiên Đạo seems to have sensed that Thiên Công is about to die, so the Thiên Đạo became restless and sealed my divine artifact. As for the Linh Năng Đối Khiêu Kiều being destroyed, it was because the millions of Thái Dương Thủ dwelling on Thiên Công's body received the Thiên Đạo's command, gathered together, formed a rebellious force, attacked the Linh Năng Đối Khiêu Kiều, and destroyed it."

"Thiên Công, on the verge of death, still wants to kick his legs."

Hư Thiên Tôn sneered: "But that is nothing but futile effort."

Hồng Thiên Tôn quickly said: "Do not take it lightly. The Thiên Đạo will not let Thiên Công die; even if Thiên Công wants to die, he cannot. Thiên Công was born from the Thiên Đạo's transformation, representing the Thiên Đạo's operation. At critical moments, the Thiên Đạo's will will completely replace Thiên Công's will, and even bless the Thái Dương Thủ in Huyền Đô, greatly increasing their strength."

"In Huyền Đô, there are millions of Thái Dương Thủ. These Thái Dương Thủ are usually responsible for the operation of the suns in the various heavens and worlds. If the Thiên Đạo blesses them, they are indeed a considerable force."

Cung Thiên Tôn said: "But besides the Thái Dương Thủ, Huyền Đô also has Nguyệt Lượng Thủ from various regions, and various Tinh Quân. If they are also blessed by the Thiên Đạo, this force cannot be underestimated."

Hồng Thiên Tôn smiled: "Does Cung Thiên Tôn want to make a trip to Huyền Đô?"

Cung Thiên Tôn hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "The Heavenly Court cannot be left unguarded. I think I will not go."

Hỏa Thiên Tôn spoke passionately and loudly: "How can you not go? Thiên Công has committed many evils and has plagued the world for a long time. Not killing Thiên Công is to condone him, to be an accomplice!"

Cung Thiên Tôn smiled: "Hỏa Thiên Tôn hates evil as if it were his enemy, and cannot tolerate the slightest flaw. I deeply admire that. But the Heavenly Court is also of utmost importance; we cannot fail to guard against the sudden attack of the Tần bandit. I will stay here to provide support."

Hạo Thiên Tôn smiled: "Cung đạo hữu cannot stand alone. I will also guard the Heavenly Court to be safe. Two Thiên Phi nương nương, what do you think?"

Tường Thiên Phi laughed charmingly: "With Hạo Thiên Tôn and Cung Thiên Tôn here, everything is assured. Then I will make a trip to Huyền Đô."

Nghiên Thiên Phi's eyes flickered, and she smiled: "The Tứ Cực Thiên still has three poles not yet pacified. I plan to intimidate Thanh Long, Bạch Hổ, and Huyền Vũ, lest they stir up more trouble."

Hư Thiên Tôn said: "U Đô must also be guarded against. I will stay to guard against the chaos in U Đô."

Hạo Thiên Tôn then looked at Lang Hiên. Lang Hiên Thần Hoàng quickly said: "I must go. If none of you go, and something goes wrong, that would be bad."

Hồng Thiên Tôn smiled: "Thiên Công's strength in Huyền Đô can be said to be the pinnacle of the Đại Thiên Đình, not inferior to Thiên Đế. I also need to go to support Tổ Thần Vương."

Thạch Kỳ La said: "The thần khí Ngự Thiên Tôn was made by me. Thiên Công suppressed the divine artifact, so I also need to rush over to break Thiên Công's suppression."

Hạo Thiên Tôn smiled: "In that case, the battle of Huyền Đô will be entrusted to you all. I, along with Cung Thiên Tôn, Nghiên Thiên Phi, and Hư Thiên Tôn, will remain here. Here, I wish the six đạo hữu a victorious start."

Everyone exchanged knowing smiles.

Hạo Thiên Tôn had always been proud and arrogant, looking down on the other Heavenly Venerables. If there were benefits, he would always take the lion's share. But after the battle with Thái Đế, he was chased for six hundred thousand dặm by Tần Mục, losing all his prestige. Now, Hạo Thiên Tôn had become humble and deferential. It seemed his injuries had not yet fully healed.

In the battle of Huyền Đô, with the six Heavenly Venerables—Tổ, Hồng, Hỏa, Tường, Lang, Thạch—dealing with Thiên Công would surely be easy. Even if Khai Hoàng, Nguyệt Thiên Tôn, and others interfered, they could not change anything, and it would not affect the overall situation.

Suddenly, Hồng Thiên Tôn asked: "Then what about Mục Thiên Tôn? Mục Thiên Tôn has a very good relationship with Thiên Công. He will not sit idly by."

Hạo Thiên Tôn said: "Âm Thiên Tử will block him. Hồng đạo huynh, rest assured."

Everyone rose and left one by one, except Cung Thiên Tôn, who stayed and asked Hạo Thiên Tôn: "Is Hạo Thiên Tôn truly so composed, willing to stay with me to guard the Heavenly Court?"

Hạo Thiên Tôn did not hide it from her, saying: "My battle with Thái Đế left my injuries not yet healed. Now I am barely maintaining appearances. If I truly went to Huyền Đô, I fear I would reveal my true form. Moreover, I no longer have the thần khí Ngự Thiên Tôn, so I cannot compete with them. As for Cung Thiên Tôn, you have deep cultivation and are still at your peak. Why do you also choose to stay?"

Cung Thiên Tôn said: "I have no interest in the Thiên Đạo. Going or not going is the same to me."

Hạo Thiên Tôn laughed heartily, then suddenly coughed violently. It took a moment before he caught his breath and said: "Cung Thiên Tôn is still as calm and composed as before, truly admirable. I thought you would fight for something for my elder brother Lang Hiên, after all, you are his mother."

Cung Thiên Tôn's pupils slightly contracted, and she smiled: "Hạo Thiên Tôn is joking."

Hạo Thiên Tôn did not continue, saying: "The imperial family are all heartless. No wonder you do not favor my elder brother. It was I who invited you to join the Ten Heavenly Venerables and become a power holder. Cung Thiên Tôn, to this day, you still owe me a favor."

Cung Thiên Tôn was silent.

Hạo Thiên Tôn revealed a smile: "Our interests have long been bound together. Our alliance is unbreakable. Only I can accommodate your Tạo Vật Chủ clan. Cung, whatever you want to do now, go ahead and do it. I am behind you."

Cung Thiên Tôn thanked him and rose to leave.

Hạo Thiên Tôn was at ease, tapping the armrest of his throne with his fingertips. At this moment, behind him appeared the figure of a woman, her voice full of seduction, softly saying: "Cung Thiên Tôn has the weakness of the Tạo Vật Chủ, so she cannot escape your control. You can use her to split Khai Hoàng and Lãng Uyển, use her mother-son enmity to eliminate Lang Hiên, and also use her to deal with Thái Đế and Thái Sơ. She is the woman among the Ten Heavenly Venerables who can truly let you grasp all power! Used well, you will have supreme authority! Moreover, my Thái Tố thần khoáng also fell into her hands."

"Thank you, cô cô, for the advice. Cô cô, rest assured, the Thái Tố thần khoáng, I will definitely retrieve it for you!"

Hạo Thiên Tôn revealed a smile, looking at the woman who resembled Nguyên Mẫu phu nhân with some infatuation, saying: "Cô cô, I still have not recovered to my peak state. The battle of Huyền Đô is extremely important. What matters is not how to kill Thiên Công, but how to divide the benefits. If I do not go, I will not get any benefits, and will only benefit Tổ Thần Vương! Tổ Thần Vương is arrogant and self-willed. If he gains power, he will force us to submit to him!"

"So the battle of Huyền Đô, you will definitely go."

That woman was Thái Tố. Because Hạo Thiên Tôn thought of Nguyên Mẫu phu nhân in his heart, she transformed into Nguyên Mẫu phu nhân's appearance, softly saying: "You now want to improve your strength and recover to your peak state. Your nguyên thần is still trapped in Thái Đế's Thần Thức Đại La Thiên divine ability. This is a good opportunity for you to break free. Even if you only get a part of Thiên Công's pháp lực, you can use that power to break open the Thần Thức Đại La Thiên."

"Please, cô cô, help me!" Hạo Thiên Tôn said in a deep voice.

Thái Tố thần nữ wore a loving smile, full of maternal power, and gently smiled: "Beg me. You know the rules."

Hạo Thiên Tôn knelt down, worshiping her with fanatical fervor, kissing the tips of her feet, but his eyes were incomparably calm.

Thái Tố thần nữ smiled: "You beg me, and I will naturally agree. Rest assured, I will go with you, bringing my supreme treasure, guaranteeing that you get the greatest benefits. Because the more powerful you are, the happier I am..."
