Chapter 436 Untitled
Zhou Juntian, as described by Gong Lai and Tang Wenzheng, was the great saint who had saved this Star Field.
If Zhou Juntian had not forcefully closed the Door of Heaven, many experts would very likely have been sealed in the Heaven Realm. This would have severed the inheritance of the myriad worlds below and left civilization desolate.
At first glance, it sounded very reasonable.
However, Cui Heng did not think so. He shook his head gently and said, “Why did you think that Zhou Juntian forcefully closed the Door of Heaven to stop the people from the Lower World from going to the Heaven Realm, and not to stop the people from the Heaven Realm from descending?”!!
The Door of Heaven worked both ways. After closing the Door of Heaven, it could naturally stop people from going to the Heaven Realm, but it could also stop people from the Heaven Realm from going to the myriad worlds below.
Gong Lai felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this. He subconsciously said, “How is this possible? There are countless experts in the Heaven Realm. Even if Zhou Juntian has the ability to control the Door of Heaven, it’s impossible for him to resist so many Heavenly Venerables and experts, right?”
Tang Wenzheng and Qian Yuan also shook their heads repeatedly. It was not that they had not thought of this possibility, but they felt that it was impossible.
There were so many experts in the Heaven Realm. How could they be stopped by Zhou Juntian?
Even if Zhou Juntian could affect the opening and closing of the Heaven Gate to a certain extent and stop Eighth Realm, Ninth Realm, or even experts who had yet to cross the First Heavenly Ladder, that should be the limit of his abilities.
It was impossible for those Heavenly Venerables who had crossed the First Heavenly Ladder to be stopped by a mere Zhou Juntian.
“Is that so?” Cui Heng chuckled and did not explain further.
He had also heard rumors about Zhou Juntian reincarnating as the Artifact Spirit of the Door of Heaven
If this rumor was true, then the Zhou Juntian that Gong Lai and the others were talking about was very likely his identity when he was still the Artifact Spirit.
As the Artifact Spirit of the Door of Heaven, Zhou Juntian must have extremely powerful control over the Door of Heaven. He might be able to stop those Heaven Realm experts from descending to the Lower World.
Moreover, in the past 500,000 years, no one had successfully crossed the Heaven Gate, almost causing the cultivation of this Star Field to be completely cut off.
With such serious consequences, it was difficult not to suspect that Zhou Juntian was deliberately helping the Outer World invasion.
But what good would this do him?
Cui Heng was unable to understand this for the time being. He thought to himself, “Perhaps I can only find the answer after I reach the Heaven Realm and personally understand the situation there. Hmm… I wonder how Qiqi is doing in the Heaven Realm.”
It had been 500 years since Jiang Qiqi entered the Heaven Realm with a certain Heaven Realm treasure in the Purple Sun Realm.
When he reached the Heaven Realm, he could also search for Jiang Qiqi’s whereabouts.
Of course, before going to the Heaven Realm, he had to make arrangements for the mortal world first.
Moreover, he had to bring a few people over to the Heaven Realm.
Then, Cui Heng looked at Gong Lai and the other two who were trembling at the side and said in a low voice, “I’ll give you a mission to make up for your mistakes.”
“Go and collect information about the Dao God, the Daoyi Palace, and the Daoyi Heavenly Court. Once you have any clues, go to Taihong Star and report it to a Fire Dragon called Huo Qi.”
Huo Qi did not exist yet. He planned to create a new Nine Fire Flame Dragon at the Sixth Heaven Gate realm to guard Taihong Star to prevent it from being invaded.
“Yes, I’ll follow Exalted Immortal’s orders!” Gong Lai, Tang Wenzheng, and Qian Yuan hurriedly agreed in unison, not daring to have any thoughts.
After all, the person in front of them was a supreme being that could directly change the rules of the heavens!
“By the way, two Lords of the Heavens will be here soon.” Cui Heng said to the three Ninth Realm experts and Qiu Bai, “After they arrive, let them go to Taihong Star to look for me.”
With that, he left the reception hall with Pei Qingshu.
Only a group of stunned people were left.
After a while, everyone regained their senses slightly. Only then did they look at the enemy beside them warily and hurriedly distance themselves.
Seeing this, Qiu Bai hurriedly took a step forward and shouted in a low voice, “Everyone, don’t attack or try to escape. Are you trying to anger the Immortal Venerable?!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent. Then, they temporarily put down their hostility, but they did not know what to do here. They looked at each other.
Fortunately, after a while, two figures descended from the sky. What followed was Immortal music and Buddhist light. It was Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku.
The two of them were also at the Ninth Realm when the Heaven Realm still existed.
Moreover, they were the only three Lords of the Heavens in the Star Field.
The Ninth Realm of the Immortal World was the Ascension Realm.
However, an Ascension Realm expert might not be a Lord of the Heavens.
After all, there were only three people with this cultivation in this Star Field.
There were naturally only three Lords of the Heavens.
Gong Lai was overjoyed when he saw the two of them.
He knew these two people. In the era when the Heaven Realm still existed, he had a short relationship with Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku.
“Huh? Fellow Daoist Gong is actually here too?” Daoist Fang He was also quite surprised.
After descending, he carefully observed Gong Lai. After discovering that he was safe, he smiled and said, “I’m here on Immortal Venerable’s orders. Fellow Daoist is here for the same reason?”
“Amitabha, I also received a message from Immortal Venerable.” Monk Yuan Ku nodded. After pressing his palms together, he nodded and asked, “May I know where Immortal Venerable is now?”
“He was still here just now, but he should have returned to Taihong Star now.” Qiu Bai thought of Cui Heng’s words just now and said, “Immortal Venerable also said that if the two seniors come, you can go straight to Daozhou Star.”
At this moment, Gong Lai and the other two could only stand at the side awkwardly. For a moment, they were at a loss and did not know what to do.
Daoist Fang He’s mind was sharp. After seeing the performance of Gong Lai and the other two, he chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist Gong, from the looks of it, have you offended Immortal Venerable?”
“…No, no.” Gong Lai hurriedly shook his head and said, “We definitely didn’t do anything out of line, and we definitely won’t offend that Immortal Venerable.”
“That’s good.” Daoist Fang He nodded and said in a low voice, “Actually, it’s best if you continue to be respectful and don’t have any unwilling emotions. Don’t have any thoughts in that direction either.”
“I’ll only tell you one thing. Long ago, Immortal Venerable told me that when he cultivated, there was no Heaven Realm in this world.”
“Amitabha.” Monk Yuan Ku also pressed his palms together and nodded. He said in a low voice, “The might and ancientness of Immortal Venerable is far from what you can imagine.”
“When he cultivated, there was no Heaven Realm…” Gong Lai and the others’ eyes widened when they heard this, and their faces were filled with disbelief.”
