Chapter 1921  Chapter 515: Selecting Generals, Setting Out!

“This impending disaster approaches, Master, you will follow the emperors to the Exotic Battlefield, and that young man chooses to guard our Southern Domain. Could it be intentional revenge?”

In the Heavenly Palace, inside the Supreme Hall, a few figures stood beneath the steps, all exuding a vast and powerful aura.

Behind them were Sword Heart and Ming Yue.

Now, the two of them had already returned from the Primordial True Realm. The True Realm was filled with the smoke of battle; as disciples of the Heavenly Palace Supreme, they were now both at the Immortal King Realm. Although only at the beginning, they had to shoulder their responsibilities, for as their master said, it was both a catastrophe and an opportunity. Whether they could rise to dominate the heavens depended entirely on this disaster.

Looking at the young man in the vortex within the Heaven Tower, Sword Heart and Ming Yue’s emotions were complex. In the blink of an eye, the gap between them and that young man had become worlds apart.

Even with the Supreme’s direct tutelage, the time allotted for their growth had been too brief, and yet that young man traveled a shorter path and had already left them far behind.

“Hmph, if he dares to retaliate, we shall show him that our Heavenly Palace is not so easily humiliated.”

Another young man with fiery-red hair, a Quasi-Emperor, snorted coldly, his eyes like flames. He was one of the Hundred Races, from the Qiong Fire Clan, who had become a pillar of support comparable to the clan’s ancestors after becoming a disciple of the Supreme.

“Junior Brother, don’t speak rashly. We will also follow the master to the Exotic Battlefield. At that time, the True Realm will be ruled by the Ten Great True Kings, with the strongest combat power. If that brat truly seeks revenge…”

Another green-eyed woman whispered, her gaze then turning upwards toward the master.

During the selection of heavenly talents, she had been in seclusion and learned about it only afterward, feeling somewhat discontent with her master’s decision but did not show it.

Now that the young man had reached this point, the situation was dire enough to indicate that the master’s choice years ago was a mistake.

“Indeed, if that brat truly seeks revenge, no one can stop him. Not considering him personally, but merely the combat strength of the tribes he leads, it’s beyond what the Heavenly Palace can defend against.”

Previously an old man in gray robes spoke.

Nearby, an old man holding a fishing rod, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sat quietly by a pillar, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, silently listening to the discussions among the brothers and sisters.

If Li Hao were present, he would recognize this old man, whom he once fished with.

“No matter, as long as we return successfully from the Exotic Battlefield and kill the Ancient Demon Emperor, settling accounts afterwards will be timely.”

“But should the vast territory established by our Heavenly Palace be allowed for that brat to trample on?”

“I have an idea. That brat chose the Southern Domain; we could gather them all, leaving only some peripheral disciples. That brat would inevitably push our Heavenly Palace to charge at the forefront. If he realizes our Heavenly Palace’s peripherals are vulnerable, let’s see how he guards the Southern Domain. If the Southern Domain falls, his sins will be endless, and the emperors will not spare him!”

Sword Heart and Ming Yue listened to their senior brothers and sisters’ discussion, their expressions slightly changing.

“But if the Southern Domain falls, the people will suffer, the tribes will be affected, and lives will be devastated!”

Sword Heart couldn’t help but whisper.

He and Ming Yue were the youngest disciples, entering last and naturally the weakest in cultivation.

Even though their talents were extraordinary, those who could become direct disciples under the Supreme, whose talent would be weak?

“Disaster sweeps through, not surviving means they cannot overcome this calamity; it is fate.”

“That’s right, if blame is due, it’s that brat’s fault for picking the Southern Domain, which are his sins!”

Several other Quasi-Emperors coldly replied.

Sword Heart was silent, slowly clenching his fingers.

Beside him, Ming Yue was stunned, looking at the senior brothers who used to care for him, suddenly feeling somewhat unfamiliar.

“This matter shouldn’t be too excessive, otherwise if the emperors deduce it, inevitable criticism will ensue.”

The green-eyed woman frowned.

“Don’t worry, Sister Qingli. If we return from the Exotic Battlefield, it means we have slain the Ancient Demon Emperor and the catastrophe is over. Even if other emperors seek accountability, we count as contributors!”

“Indeed, if we are defeated in the Exotic Battlefield, there’s even less reason to care. Let that brat accompany us in the grave!”

The others chimed in.

In the debate, the Heavenly Palace Supreme seated above lowered his eyes, thoughts unreadable.

“Bringing them into the Exotic Battlefield is unnecessary; if the True Realm is destroyed, our presence in the Exotic Battlefield will be affected.”

After a moment, the Supreme slowly spoke, quieting everyone:

“Heavenly Palace warriors can head to other great domains, assisting Outer Realm clans; it both contributes to slaying the Ancient Demon and helps other clans, also silencing criticism from other emperors.”

Upon hearing his words, the previously disputing Quasi-Emperors were stunned, then their eyes brightened.

Indeed, it was a strategy of threefold benefits.

That brat came to guard the Southern Domain, while they dispatched the elite forces of the Heavenly Palace, leaving the brat with an empty shell, allowing them to proclaim the Heavenly Palace’s reputation during the catastrophe.

…

Inside the Heaven Tower.

Once Li Hao had chosen the territory, Shi Miao followed closely, selecting the Southern Domain.

Next was the fourth-ranked Di Mingyuan, who chose the Western Regions where the Emperor Clan resided, the territory of the Heavenly Emperor Clan, also the strongest domain among the Four Domains.

Cang Venerate, Saint Master, and others also picked the Western Regions, as they observed Li Hao and Shi Miao aiding each other; thus, they didn’t join the excitement in the Southern Domain, opting to ally with the Emperor Clan to guard the Western Regions securely.

The remaining four then chose the Northern Domain in tacit understanding; as for the Eastern Domain, it had already fallen, with no one opting for it.

“Choose your lieutenants and your major clans; this is a dual selection, and you each have three forced selection opportunities.”
