Chapter 786 - 307: The Final Judgment Declared by Time
It seems that at this moment, only three people remain on the Fangcun Platform.
Celestial Venerable Mihua couldn’t even sense the presence of Celestial Venerable Sui, nor did he notice this fact. He fixed his gaze and said sternly,
"Can General Director Ye take responsibility for what she has said?"
Ye Wuyue replied loudly, "I take responsibility as the General Director of the Demon Extermination Bureau."
"What does your position mean to me?"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately felt something was amiss. Because such words were truly beneath the dignity of the Grand Elder of the Supreme Palace.
Guan Xin stepped forward,
"I vouch for her with my status as a Great Saint of Wenxin Heaven."
These words caused a tremendous uproar.
"So Guan Xin has become a Great Saint already!"
"When did this happen?"
"No wonder Wenxin Heaven entrusted her with the World Order!"
"A Great Saint under a hundred years old, am I dreaming? Could it be that I’m about to witness the birth of a great figure?"
Celestial Venerable Mihua’s pupils involuntarily trembled. He suppressed his tongue and said,
"I am upright and unafraid of any shadows! Do what you must!"
At this moment, he could only hope that Celestial Venerable Shangli’s "No Form No Body Will" could withstand the second wave of offense. He hoped that Ye Wuyue and Guan Xin were just using inferior methods to bluff him.
But when Ye Wuyue once again activated the Unruffled Platform.
He immediately realized he was wrong.
The ancient power of the Unruffled Platform, like eyes that see through all, instantly saw through the No Form No Body Will Celestial Venerable Shangli used to conceal his true form.
His true form was uncovered by the Unruffled Platform.
The shock in Celestial Venerable Mihua’s heart immediately turned to fear. It was as if he already witnessed the demonic qi within himself being drawn out by the Unruffled Platform, visible to all the powerful figures surrounding him.
Those top figures from various forces would definitely be bewildered, shocked, and even frightened.
Celestial Venerable Mihua was finished, and all the elders and disciples of the Supreme Palace were finished.
Time became extremely long, extremely tormenting.
Beads of sweat dripped down Celestial Venerable Mihua’s forehead. The sweat dripping from his chin seemed to take an entire day to fall.
The gaze filled with emotion gave him immense pressure.
He was on the verge of collapsing.
Yet, the proclamation that he was a demon cultivator didn’t arrive.
In a moment, the sweat dripping from his chin suddenly shattered upon landing on the Fangcun Platform.
Immediately, every bit of his aura was drawn out by the Unruffled Platform.
Everyone craned their necks in anticipation.
However, the result was—
Not a trace of demonic qi. In the second inspection, although his aura was not as pure as the first time, it had nothing to do with demonic qi.
Ye Wuyue and Guan Xin looked at this result in disbelief.
Even Celestial Venerable Mihua himself was stunned. He couldn’t understand why his aura wasn’t filthy and violent?
What on earth was going on?
Ye Wuyue took three steps back, filled with self-doubt,
"Why is it like this... could it be... he really isn’t a demon cultivator? Have we made a mistake?"
Guan Xin also felt dizzy. But she forcefully calmed herself down.
Articles flashed through her mind one after another.
Jade Ancestor’s "Book of the Search for Truth" in opposition to the Heavenly Dao slowly emerged. She tried hard to find the true meaning in the "Book of the Search for Truth," trying to understand what on earth had happened.
In a certain moment, she suddenly realized in horror,
"Where did Celestial Venerable Sui go!"
Only then did everyone realize Celestial Venerable Sui had quietly disappeared.
Even Celestial Venerable Mihua, who was beside him before, didn’t notice.
At this moment, Celestial Venerable Shangli suddenly appeared,
"This farce should end. Immortal Continent Demon Extermination Bureau, Confucian Wenxin Heaven, when you attack demon cultivators, there needs to be a limit. Do you think White Jade Capital is easy to bully, unable to ensure the well-being of its disciples? Celestial Venerable Mihua has suffered a humiliation unprecedented in history. You’ve tried again and again to prove he’s a demon cultivator and each time you failed. What, you give a dog a bad name and hang him?"
A tremendous sense of oppression surged into the Fangcun Platform, causing Ye Wuyue and Guan Xin to grunt.
Celestial Venerable Shangli looked at them coldly,
"I, as the Small Freedom Official of White Jade Capital, make a solemn statement. In view of the three-time failure of Demon Extermination Bureau’s validation, there is suspicion of damaging the dignity of the World Order. I hope the World Order initiates the termination timing. If you have any evidence, present it within a quarter of an hour!"
"Damn it!" Ye Wuyue clenched her fists. After two checks failed with the Unruffled Platform, she only had the third dossier left. However, the third dossier required that Celestial Venerable Mihua actually be a demon cultivator to deliver a powerful blow!
If she took it out now, it would be meaningless.
But, should she just give up like this?
Will there be another chance at trial after this failure?
No, White Jade Capital certainly wouldn’t give a second chance.
Ye Wuyue looked at Guan Xin in confusion.
Guan Xin, on the other hand, was staring intently at the spot where Celestial Venerable Sui disappeared.
...
Celestial Venerable Mihua was definitely not a demon cultivator! Someone must be persecuting him secretly!
This was the consensus between Celestial Venerable Sui and Celestial Venerable Shangli. Even the Carefree Ancestor thought so.
In any case, the Supreme Palace couldn’t fall into this quagmire. In such tense circumstances, nothing must happen to the Daoist School. If the reputation of the Supreme Palace were to be tarnished, the next to falter would be the authority of White Jade Capital.
The Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device was lost.
Celestial Venerable Yu Chen was forcefully killed in front of the Carefree Ancestor.
The Great Prosperity Festival was brewing thunder.
Most crucially, Ancestor Qing had not yet returned.
Nothing must go wrong! Once Ancestor Qing returns, everything will improve.
No matter what means necessary, this must be dragged out!
Celestial Venerable Sui and Celestial Venerable Shangli were overwhelmed by their efforts to handle this matter. Whether it was Celestial Venerable Mihua’s sophistry and buck-passing, or using No Form No Body Will to create fake forms to conceal... these were contemptible methods, unworthy of being the leader of the Immortal Dao.
But there was no more time left for them to plan.
This unexpected turmoil of demon cultivators was a trap set by hidden enemies.
The Daoist School didn’t intend to step into it, but since they were forcefully pulled in, they could only resolve it with even more inferior methods!
Therefore, when he realized that the No Form No Body Will would be seen through,
Celestial Venerable Sui unhesitatingly initiated the final defense.
He struggled along the river of time, feeling the immense pressure of the Celestial Snake, disregarding everything, even if it meant sacrificing his life, to find the period when Celestial Venerable Mihua suddenly became a demon cultivator.
Then, he would forcibly alter it.
He was well aware that he had merely touched the surface of the Eternal Cosmos Dao and would undoubtedly suffer immense backlash by forcefully altering time.
Moreover, the altered time would soon be corrected by the Celestial Snake watching over the river of time.
But... so long as he could get through this trial, everything would be fine!
After that, they just needed to wait for Ancestor Qing to return and suppress everything they could.
Under tremendous pressure, Celestial Venerable Sui finally reached the time when Celestial Venerable Mihua became a demon cultivator. Unsurprisingly, the instigator had covered his tracks. He had no strength to think about anything else, and as the Celestial Snake had not yet reacted, he quickly triggered the Eternal Cosmos Dao he barely touched,
to alter time!
Soon, he showed a joyful expression,
"Succeeded! Next, just hold on for quarter of an hour! Wait for Celestial Venerable Shangli to take care of the aftermath!"
He counted the time, waiting anxiously.
"Almost there!"
"Almost there!"
The pressure of the Celestial Snake became increasingly immense, and even the joints in Celestial Venerable Sui’s body began to creak. This was forcing him out of the river of time.
Hold on!
Hold on!
This thought was the only one in Celestial Venerable Sui’s mind.
"It’s over... it’s going to end..." Finally, he exhaled a long breath.
"Yes, it’s going to end." A gentle and elegant voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Celestial Venerable Sui turned to look in amazement, only to see a refined man holding a book, walking slowly towards him. The book in his hand was "Discussion of All Things under Heaven" by the Jade Ancestor.
"Who... are you!"
The refined man revealed a kind smile,
"Let me introduce myself; my surname is Du, and my given name is Changge. Of course, you may not have heard of the name Du Changge. But you should have heard of my other name, Greedy Demon Lord."
Celestial Venerable Sui’s heart almost stopped, and he forgot even to think.
Because he knew, at the moment this name was announced, everything truly ended.
O Demon Lord who pollutes desires!
The more you want something, the less you achieve in his presence.
