I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1399 - 683: Highlight Moment! (Part 2)

The third layer, is relatively sparse with martial artists from the Jianghu.

The sparsity is relative.

Only those who can enter the martial arts path dare to call themselves people of the Jianghu.

Compared to hundreds of millions of common folks, they are still far behind.

Thus, even if all the martial artists here are combined, it's actually just under a hundred thousand, and that's because many have come from far and wide to see the spectacle.

Otherwise, there would be even fewer.

As for how many of them harbor dubious 'righteous' intentions, that remains unknown.

At the very least, Chen Yuan, Jiang He, and Ling Xu are among such people.

They haven't released their divine thoughts to investigate, as this would expose their identities. Correspondingly, other strong figures from various sides have also not foolishly used their divine thoughts to scan.

The fourth layer is the Heavenly Patrol Bureau's military guards, essentially forming a line to separate the third layer from the distinguished guests in the fifth layer.

This layer includes civil and military officials of the court and their families, as well as concubines from the harem, royal family members, along with some strongmen from the Ministry of Rites.

In front of them are huge horn-like instruments.

The sun rose higher and higher, but because it's autumn, it's not scorching hot and no one is impatient, silently waiting for the Emperor's arrival.

"The time... is almost here."

Daoist Ling Xu suddenly said.

"It seems Shushan has quite a few historical records."

Elder Tianxu beside him smiled as he spoke.

Upon their first meeting, he immediately recognized Daoist Ling Xu's identity, not because they had dealt with each other, but due to the Jianghu rumors that Shushan had already allied with the Taoist Divine Palace.

With such sword intent, apart from Jiang He, none other than Shushan could be responsible.

"It's as if Taixu Palace doesn't have any?"

Even if Taixu Palace has been secluded for many years, it still has its heritage.

They are also well aware of the current arrangements.

Immortal sects are called so not only for their unparalleled strength but also for their millennia-old heritage, having established their ways either during the former Chu or when it was first founded.

Naturally, there are records about the time when Chu's Grand Ancestor offered sacrifices to the heavens and ascended to the throne as Human Emperor.

"Taixu Palace... has fallen."

Elder Tianxu sighed.

If it weren't in decline, why would he enter the mundane world and bet on Chen Yuan?

He wanted to take advantage of Chen Yuan's momentum to rejuvenate the sect.

"A broken ship still has three nails, Elder Tianxu, you are being too harsh." Chen Yuan agreed with a nod.

"This is not exactly a compliment."

"I will help you patch it up later."

"You seem quite composed."

Daoist Tianxu looked at Chen Yuan's expression and slowly shook his head.

"Things have come to this, what use is there in worrying? Jingtai is someone I must kill, the court must be destroyed by me, even if Jingtai has more arrangements, facing the heroes of the world is futile."

Chen Yuan truly believed so, he remained serious yet never panicked when facing Jingtai, for if Jingtai truly wielded power to sweep everything before him,

the world wouldn't be in its current state.

As long as heroes from all corners rally, even tens of thousands of soldiers are but ants under numerous Yang God True Monarchs, insignificant.

And today, although he has not sensed any particular aura, he can be certain.

The strong who have come today are absolutely numerous!

It rather feels like the eighteen lords opposing Dong Zhuo.

However, the premise is they must dare to go all out.

If everyone is intent on reaping benefits without risk, then it wouldn't matter much.

So, getting those strong individuals to take action is actually not an easy matter.

First, one must display their strength!

To let others see hope.

"Indeed."

Ling Xu smiled.

The court's arrangements are profound, but they aren't just idle bystanders either.

Taoist Divine Palace, Taixu Palace, Shushan Immortal Sect joining forces, the number of True Monarchs dispatched is already more than a handful, almost comparable to the previous grand battle.

As long as other forces take action, today really holds no suspense.

Jiang He too was beside the three, but he said nothing, merely gazing towards a deep area where Li Hongshuang was.

Beside her sat Li Kuangxiu.

Daoist Tianxu raised his head to glance at the sun again, softly saying:

"It's here!"

It's here!

Truly here!

From the direction of the Capital, a golden glow unabashedly spread over, and many instinctively looked up to see nine divine beasts pulling a dragon chariot.

With True Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes, as well as White Tigers and Qilins, alongside Golden Cranes and White Deer...

Such a divine sight naturally filled the less knowledgeable common folks below with immense awe, their eyes brimming with reverence as if towards deities.

Tiger!

Tiger!

Tiger!

Three hundred thousand Forbidden Army roared in unison as if rehearsed beforehand, the sound thunderous!

Many of the outer commoners knelt, loudly proclaiming long live the Emperor.

But to the martial arts elites of the third layer, it felt of no significance.

Putting aside the Fifth Realm True Masters and True Monarchs, even Fourth Realm Dan Realm Masters can achieve similar feats, maybe not with such precision.

Yet they can see beyond appearances to the essence.

Those various divine beasts were entirely conjured from manipulating the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.

"Heh heh..."

Daoist Tianxu suddenly laughed.

Beside him, Chen Yuan chimed in like a comic partner:

"Why does the Daoist laugh?"

"According to ancient texts, when the former Chu's Grand Ancestor offered sacrifices, the divine beasts pulling the dragon chariot were real. Jingtai truly mimics well, how interesting..."

There are indeed divine beasts in the world.

Though Chen Yuan hasn't witnessed others, the Fire Qilin beneath Tangshan's Big Buddha is evidence alone, yet such beings have become increasingly rare.
