Chapter 1 The Golden Crow Clan

A sound like a great Huang Lü bell echoed outside the Golden Crow Clan.

Within the Golden Crow Clan, the faces of many experts were filled with gloom.

You injured a prince of my Golden Crow Clan, and now, instead of us seeking trouble with you, you come here acting high and mighty, demanding that the Golden Crow Clan leader come to hear your imperial decree?

This truly made one laugh in anger.

Not a single expert from the Golden Crow Clan went out. They sat quietly, their eyes cold.

Outside the Golden Crow Clan, however.

The person delivering the decree was a Xiansheng (Celestial Saint) expert, not a Xianwang (Celestial King).

He stood aloof, holding a decree in his hand. He wasn't embarrassed by the lack of response, as he knew no expert from the Golden Crow Clan would come out.

"Heaven above, the Lord of the Heavenly Court proclaims: The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crows, being naturally mischievous, revealed his true form and destroyed the spiritual veins of the Immortal World. He was discovered by a Celestial King of our Heavenly Court. To save the common people, our Heavenly Court's Celestial King shot him down with an Emperor weapon. Though impulsive, the crime does not warrant death. The Golden Crow Clan leader must provide the Heavenly Court with an answer within three days. Otherwise, after three days, the Golden Crow Clan will be removed from the Immortal World. This is the decree!"

The decree fell, its sound resonating throughout the entire Golden Crow Clan.

Bang!

Within the Golden Crow Clan, the Golden Crow Crown Prince was the first to speak, slamming his hand on a jade table, creating a loud crash.

"The Heavenly Court is truly shameless! They ambushed and killed my brother, and now they're reversing right and wrong! Our clan didn't seek trouble with your Heavenly Court, yet you're the ones causing trouble! Do you really think my Golden Crow Clan is afraid of death?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince roared, giving his answer. Two balls of flame danced in his eyes, and he trembled with anger.

Not to mention the Golden Crow Crown Prince, who in the entire Golden Crow Clan wasn't angry and furious?

"We gathered and did not reveal our true forms until after being chased and killed," the Eighth Prince of the Golden Crows said, earnestly explaining.

However, the Tenth Prince shook his head, telling his brothers not to speak, because they had no chance to explain this matter, and it wasn't something they could participate in. They should just listen quietly.

"Heavenly Court, you are too arrogant."

"Di Tian, do you really think my Golden Crow Clan is afraid of death?"

"Good, Di Tian, you ambushed and killed my clan's prince first, and now you're saying such things? Good, good, good!"

The experts of the Golden Crow Clan spoke one after another, their anger rising uncontrollably, their rage burning fiercely.

The whole matter was entirely the Heavenly Court deliberately causing trouble. If it weren't for Lu Changsheng's intervention, the Golden Crow Clan would probably only have the Golden Crow Crown Prince left.

But they hadn't gone to the Heavenly Court yet, not wanting to tear apart their relationship so quickly. But what they hadn't expected was that the Heavenly Court not only reversed right and wrong but even made a false accusation first. How could they not be angry?

"Clan leader, let's fight them!"

"Clan leader, what are we afraid of? Let's go directly to the Heavenly Court!"

"Clan leader, revive our clan's supreme Emperor weapon! Let's kill them!"

One Golden Crow expert after another spoke, unable to endure this humiliation. The Golden Crow Clan was a respected race in the Immortal World. Being humiliated like this was simply unbearable.

In the main hall.

The Golden Crow Clan leader took a deep breath, closing his eyes. After a short while, he opened them, and two beams of divine light broke through the void, directly illuminating the sky above the Central Immortal World.

"Di Tian, do you truly want a fight to the death?" the Golden Crow Clan leader said, his voice extremely somber.

He still hadn't erupted in rage, because he understood that turning against the Heavenly Court at this stage was indeed unwise, and the Golden Crow Clan wasn't qualified to completely turn against the Heavenly Court.

Of course, the Golden Crow Clan wasn't truly without any trump cards. He still had a trump card, but it was only to be used as a last resort, unless the Golden Crow Clan faced annihilation.

Now, the Golden Crow Clan leader simply wanted an answer.

If the Heavenly Court was merely making excuses, the Golden Crow Clan could choose to endure this humiliation. But if Di Tian clearly wanted to suppress the Golden Crow Clan, then... the Golden Crow Clan didn't have a single coward.

Central Immortal World.

Following the Golden Crow Clan leader's voice.

After a short while, Di Tian's voice resounded.

Giving his reply.

"Within three days, if there is no satisfactory answer, from now on, the Golden Crow Clan will be removed from the Immortal World."

Di Tian's voice resounded, filled with superiority and supreme majesty. He was overbearing and gave the Golden Crow Clan no face at all. This was the benefit of absolute strength.

Having become an Immortal Emperor, he feared nothing. The Golden Crow Clan either submitted or died.

"Good."

The Golden Crow Clan leader didn't feel anger, nor did he have any emotional fluctuations. He simply uttered a faint "good."

Subsequently, within the Golden Crow Clan.

In the main hall, the light in the Golden Crow Clan leader's eyes receded.

"Revive our clan's supreme Emperor weapon! Go to the Heavenly Court!"

The Golden Crow Clan leader spoke, his voice calm, but the calmer it was, the more serious things were.

In the main hall.

Lu Changsheng appeared extremely calm, not saying a word about the whole matter, nor showing any emotion.

But at this moment, outside the Golden Crow Clan, the Heavenly Court envoy's voice continued to ring out.

"Second decree, Lu Changsheng, come forward to hear the decree!"

As the voice rang out, all eyes in the Golden Crow Clan couldn't help but focus on Lu Changsheng.

However, after hearing this voice, Lu Changsheng did pause slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to enjoy the delicacies.

"Heaven above, I am the Lord of the Immortal World, Di Tian, the Immortal Emperor. Lu Changsheng, you are exceptionally talented, a peerless prodigy, but due to a moment of misjudgment, you have acted against the heavens. You should have been suppressed and your primordial spirit refined, placed in the Divine Sea to be suppressed for a million years, but out of consideration for Heaven's virtue of cherishing life."

"Today, I bestow upon you supreme fortune. If you are willing to abandon darkness and turn to the light, joining the Heavenly Court, I am willing to share ten percent of the Immortal World's Qi Luck with you, appoint you as the Sixth Celestial Emperor, govern a realm of the Heavenly Court, and share the world."

The Immortal World envoy's voice rang out, this was Di Tian's decree.

Filled with superiority, seemingly trying to win over Lu Changsheng, giving him an equal position, but in reality, every word was carefully chosen, and every sentence revealed a sense of lord and subject.

However, the only thing was that this decree wasn't as brutal, with no words of removal or anything like that. Of course, Lu Changsheng knew that this was because of the Hong Clan princess.

If it weren't for the Hong Clan princess, this decree would surely have a sentence written on it: "If there is no reply after three days, the Immortal World will be removed."

In the main hall.

Lu Changsheng took a sip of wine, wondering what he was thinking about.

However, the voice rang out again.

"Lord Changsheng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Now, the Heavenly Court's power sweeps away everything, invincible in the universe. All six realms must submit to the Lord of the Heavenly Court. If Lord Changsheng agrees and is appointed as the Sixth Celestial Emperor, the future is boundless. What are you hesitating for?"

The Heavenly Court envoy spoke, he didn't have any disrespect towards Lu Changsheng. Not to mention that Lu Changsheng had a great background, just the fact that if Lu Changsheng really agreed, he would be his direct superior, so he didn't dare to offend him.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng stood up.

He stood in the main hall, his eyes looking straight ahead.

"Scram!"

The voice rang out, without any long-winded arguments, just a single word: "Scram!"

The Heavenly Court envoy was struck as if by lightning, then turned into a shooting star. If you looked closely, he was indeed rolling away.

This Di Tian was indeed ambitious. Everyone in the world knew that Hong Ling Princess was his sister, but he never thought that Di Tian would dare say such a thing.

"Clan leader, let's kill them!"

At this moment, the Golden Crow Clan experts came back to their senses. They didn't know what Lu Changsheng was thinking, but they couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Chapter 2 The Conspiracy

"The Heavenly Court has already set up an inescapable net, they are deliberately provoking you all. If you go now, there will be a major incident."

Just then, Lu Changsheng's voice suddenly rang out, astonishing all the experts of the Golden Crow Clan.

They had never expected that the Heavenly Court was deliberately provoking them.

As soon as Lu Changsheng said this, the Golden Crow experts indeed calmed down.

It wasn't that they weren't smart, but the events that had occurred had completely humiliated them, and for a time, they were consumed by anger.

First, the Golden Crow princes were ambushed. If Lu Changsheng hadn't rescued them, none of these princes would have survived.

Second, the Heavenly Court's ambush had crossed the Golden Crow Clan's bottom line, but the Golden Crow Clan was willing to endure it, partly because they didn't want to tear apart their relationship, and partly because they hoped the Heavenly Court would give them an explanation.

But what they hadn't expected was that the Heavenly Court not only didn't give an explanation but instead turned the tables, reversing right and wrong, making a false accusation first. How could the Golden Crow Clan not be angry?

More importantly, Lu Changsheng was right there. To insult the Golden Crow Clan like this in front of outsiders was adding fuel to the fire.

But even in such a situation, the Golden Crow Clan leader didn't directly attack. Instead, he asked for clarification. Even if the Heavenly Court was willing to discuss it slowly, he would be willing.

But what he hadn't expected was that the Heavenly Court had no intention of discussing it at all, and was too strong, so strong that the Golden Crow Clan had to act. Otherwise, they would lose their backbone.

It was because of all these things that the Golden Crow Clan had to act.

But as soon as Lu Changsheng said this, the Golden Crow experts inexplicably had a sense of sudden realization.

"This! It does seem a little off."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince said, frowning and carefully considering the whole story. To be fair, the Immortal World was indeed a little deliberate.

It was as if they were deliberately trying to provoke the Golden Crow Clan.

"If the Heavenly Court has really set up an inescapable net, then everything makes sense," the Golden Crow Clan leader said, realizing it first. He wasn't stupid. After calming down, he instantly saw through it all.

"They ambushed my princes to provoke a conflict, and then used the decree to humiliate my Golden Crow Clan, so that we would offer up the Golden Crow Clan's supreme Emperor weapon and be wiped out in one fell swoop. What a good plan."

The Golden Crow Clan leader took a deep breath, he understood completely. Now that he thought about it, he was indeed a little scared. If Lu Changsheng hadn't reminded them, they would have really gone to the Heavenly Court.

After all, in the current situation, the Golden Crow princes hadn't died, and Lu Changsheng had saved them.

But if nine Golden Crow princes had died, the meaning would be different.

They would have already killed them.

Dead and not dead were completely different concepts.

"It's not right, even if the clan leader leads people there, they will definitely leave some forces behind. Our clan's foundation hasn't been used. Even if they wipe us out, they won't get any benefits," an expert said, thinking it was unreasonable.

The Golden Crow Clan’s many experts frowned.

What he said was reasonable.

After all, no matter how much hatred there was, it was impossible to kill the entire clan. They would definitely leave a foundation in the clan, so it was impossible for the other party to wipe them out.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out again.

"The Heavenly Court's target is not the Golden Crow Clan, but something else."

Lu Changsheng said, immediately causing the Golden Crow experts to frown.

Something else?

"The Golden Crow Divine Bell!"

In an instant, many experts spoke at the same time, they guessed what it was.

The Golden Crow Clan leader's face also turned extremely ugly.

"They want to take my Golden Crow Divine Bell."

The Golden Crow Clan leader's face was even uglier than before.

For the Golden Crow Clan, the strongest foundation was the Golden Crow Divine Bell. If the experts died, there would be new experts in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.

But once the Golden Crow Divine Bell was gone, it would be a disaster.

"What a calculation, what a calculation, what a calculation," the Golden Crow Clan leader clenched his fists, he was extremely angry.

But anger was useless.

The other party had set up the game long ago, waiting for them to take the bait. If Lu Changsheng hadn't suddenly appeared, the Golden Crow Clan would have already gone to the Heavenly Court at this moment.

After all, in the current situation, the Golden Crow princes hadn't died, and Lu Changsheng had saved them.

But if nine Golden Crow princes had died, the meaning would be completely different.

They would have already killed them.

Dead and not dead were completely two different concepts.

"What should we do now?"

"Yes, clan leader, we can't advance or retreat, what should we do?"

"Clan leader, is there any way?"

The Golden Crow Clan, from top to bottom, felt a headache.

Although they had seen through the other party's purpose, what could they do if they knew? They didn't dare to go to the Heavenly Court.

At that time, the six realms of cultivators would laugh at the Golden Crow Clan for being cowards.

The Golden Crow Clan leader also frowned.

But in the end, the Golden Crow Clan leader looked at Lu Changsheng.

"Celestial Emperor Lu, my Golden Crow Clan is willing to follow Celestial Emperor to the death. If Celestial Emperor is willing to fight against the Heavenly Court, from now on, the Golden Crow Clan is willing to serve Celestial Emperor Changsheng."

At this moment, the Golden Crow Clan leader could only place his hope on Lu Changsheng, and even used the title of Celestial Emperor Lu.

Because only Lu Changsheng could compete with Di Tian.

However, Lu Changsheng was slightly silent.

He needed the Immortal World mark.

But he really didn't want to establish a force. He was used to being idle. If he established a force, it would be troublesome.

But after thinking about it, Lu Changsheng also understood a truth.

If he didn't establish a force, he might not be able to obtain the Immortal World's Dao mark.

The mark of each world requires corresponding conditions to be obtained.

The mark of the Buddhist world can be obtained by making great aspirations.

But the mark of the Immortal World doesn't care whether you make aspirations or not. Whoever unifies the Immortal World and becomes the Lord of the Immortal World can control the Immortal World mark.

At this moment.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Golden Crow Clan leader and said.

"Senior, can you let me see the Golden Crow Divine Bell?"

Lu Changsheng spoke, making this request.

The matter of establishing a sect can wait. It hasn't reached the moment of life and death.

But Lu Changsheng wanted to understand the Chaos Bell first.

"Of course, Celestial Emperor Lu, please come with me," the Golden Crow Clan leader said, agreeing directly.

After saying this, he directly led Lu Changsheng away.
