Chapter 115 Holy Emperor's Grotto-Heaven, Heavenly Venerable Battlefield
With a flash of golden light, Huangfu Hongxin appeared in front of Jiege and the other two.
"Master!" Jage and Gongyang Tenglong quickly bowed.
"Master," Jagger asked, "how did you decide so quickly?"
He was somewhat surprised that less than a day had passed.
Huangfu Hongdao said, "Although the Heavenly Venerables are scattered throughout the Divine Realm, they communicate directly through divine consciousness, which is naturally faster."
"Master, what was the result? Who got Junior Brother's home universe? Was it our Eastern Sacred Golden Mountain?" Huangfu Hongxin asked.
Huangfu Hongxin shook his head: "These old guys argued for a while, and neither of them was willing to give in. In the end, they still had to go through the old method: whoever has the stronger fist gets to keep it."
Gongyang Tenglong glared at him: "Master, are the Celestial Venerables going to start a war?"
"Of course not." Huangfu Hongxin glanced at his third disciple with annoyance. "Under normal circumstances, a Celestial Venerable might take action to compete for an unclaimed universe, or at the very least, a God-King. However, the Celestial Venerable Battlefield is about to open. Although a universe is important, it cannot compare to the Celestial Venerable Battlefield. Therefore, we have decided to let the Celestial Gods under our command compete for it."
"A god?" Jag's heart skipped a beat.
Among the powerful celestial beings, he was confident in his own strength.
Huangfu Hongxin continued, "The eight great grotto-heavens and the thirty great celestial power will each select one celestial god. Our Holy Emperor Grotto-heavens, being the first to discover the Panlong Realm, can send two, making a total of thirty-nine celestial gods to compete. Whoever is the strongest will own the Panlong Realm!"
Huangfu Hongxin looked at Juggernaut: "Little Seven, if you want to fight for your home universe, then refine the 'Shadow' Gloves as soon as possible. With your strength combined with the 'Shadow' Gloves, you'll still be qualified to fight."
"Yes, Master!" Jage clenched his fists.
"You should hurry up and start cultivating. After you refine the 'Shadow' Gloves, I will take you to the Holy Emperor's Cave Heaven. There are quite a few powerful Heavenly Gods in our Holy Emperor's Cave Heaven. The choice of who to select will be decided there," Huangfu Hongxin said.
Without further delay, Jagger quickly entered the time-accelerated space that Huangfu Hongxin had already prepared.
Amy is already cultivating inside.
This space is 100 square meters, enough for two people to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
"Little brother."
Seeing Jag enter, Amy asked anxiously, "How is it? Is everything alright in our home universe?"
When they were about to leave the Panlong Universe, Jaeger had already told Amy about what had happened recently.
Compared to Jaeger, Amy had been in the Joyce family longer and had a deeper affection for his clansmen. When he heard that the Panlong Universe was almost taken over by a powerful figure like the Lord of Tianhuo City, who was skilled in soul control and enslaving others, he felt a wave of fear.
The clansmen still need to live in the Panlong Universe, and Amy naturally doesn't want the Panlong Universe to fall into the hands of a brutal powerhouse.
Jag told him what he had just learned.
"Sister, I will do my best to keep our home universe in the Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain," Jage said solemnly.
He is now Huangfu Hongxin's disciple, and it would be best for the Panlong Universe to belong to the Eastern Sacred Golden Mountain.
After exchanging a few words with Amy, Jag and Amy began their cultivation.
Several days later, Jag himself emerged from the time-accelerated space, having successfully refined the "Shadow" glove.
Refining a Primordial Spiritual Treasure takes approximately ten thousand years. In a space where time is accelerated a million times, a few days outside is equivalent to ten thousand years inside.
Juggernaut himself left the time-accelerated space, while his other clones remained inside, cultivating.
His many bodies are now divided into three groups. His main body is preparing to go to the Holy Emperor's Cave Heaven with Huangfu Hongxin, his Dark God clone will stay in the Panlong Universe to guard the family, and his other bodies will remain in the Time Acceleration Space to cultivate.
He has now grasped more than 90% of the laws of space. In order to participate in the Gods' Competition, he no longer comprehends the laws of space, but instead turns to comprehend the laws of time.
He had previously replicated Gongyang Tenglong's insights into the laws of time.
The laws of time have three levels: time acceleration, time stillness, and time reversal.
Gongyang Tenglong has mastered the art of time acceleration to its extreme, allowing him to increase the speed of time by a million times during battle.
Jagger can only accelerate time a hundredfold at present, and is still far from achieving the Ram Rising Dragon.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to use the time-accelerated space for cultivation, he began to consume his enlightenment attempts. He still had 30 enlightenment attempts left, which he could afford to use.
The more his time law improves, the stronger he will become, and the more confident he will be in winning the contest against the gods.
While his clone was cultivating, Jeger himself found Huangfu Hongxin.
"Master, I have successfully refined the 'Shadow' Gloves."
"Alright, let's set off now."
Huangfu Hongxin, with Jiege in tow, and Gongyang Tenglong, with Gongyang Yu in tow, each used teleportation to head towards the Holy Emperor's Cave.
Northwest of the Divine Realm Continent, Thunder Punishment City.
This is a city suspended in the air, surrounded by lightning, with thunder rumbling all year round.
This city belongs to the Northwest Holy Emperor, one of the eight Holy Emperors of the Divine Realm.
Above Thunder Punishment City, there is a black hole with a diameter of over 100 meters; it is a spatial passage.
"Swish" "Swish"
Four figures suddenly teleported to the front of the black hole; it was none other than Jage and his three companions.
Jag looked down at Thunder Punishment City with curiosity.
After becoming Huangfu Hongxin's disciple, Jiege gained a general understanding of the basic situation of the major forces in the God Realm through conversations with Huangfu Hongxin and Gongyang Tenglong.
The Holy Emperor's Grotto, where the Eastern Holy Golden Mountain is located, is a sacred land jointly created by the eight Holy Emperor forces, with the Northwest Holy Emperor Thunder Punishment City being the leader among them.
Because the Holy Emperor's Grotto was created by a Celestial Venerable from Thunder Punishment City.
"Go in."
Huangfu Hongxin led the four people into the black hole.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them found themselves in a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Golden, warm sunlight streamed down, bathing the four of them in its glow. Below them lay a cluster of palaces, pavilions, and towers, arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion.
Jeger has a main god avatar in the Panlong Universe, so as soon as he entered, he felt the difference in the flow of time inside and outside. The flow of time inside the Holy Emperor Cave is 100,000 times that of the outside world!
"This so-called Holy Emperor's Grotto Heaven is somewhat similar to my senior brother's Ram Realm," Jeger thought to himself.
"Haha, Brother Huangfu, you're the last one here!"
A thunderous, hearty laugh rang in everyone's ears. Huangfu Hongxin's lips curled into a smile, and with a flash, he led Jiege and the others into a magnificent hall.
There were 20 square tables in the main hall. 19 of them were already occupied, and the last one was empty.
Huangfu Hongxin sat down directly behind the empty table.
"Junior brother, we can just stand behind Master," Gongyang Tenglong transmitted to Jiege through divine sense.
"Yes, senior brother."
Gongyang Tenglong stood behind Huangfu Hongxin, while Jiege stood behind Gongyang Tenglong, and Gongyang Yu stood beside him.
Jag secretly observed the people in the hall.
Although he had heard Huangfu Hongxin and Gongyang Tenglong mention some important figures from the Holy Emperor's Grotto, he had never actually met them and was somewhat bewildered at the moment.
Gongyang Tenglong saw through Jiege's thoughts and introduced him in a timely manner: "Junior Brother, the twenty people sitting in the main hall at this moment are the twenty Heavenly Venerable experts from our Holy Emperor Cave Heaven."
Jag felt a chill run down his spine.
In terms of strength, the Holy Emperor's Grotto Heaven is the strongest among the eight grotto heavens, with a total of 20 Heavenly Venerable experts.
The eight great Holy Emperor forces are each no weaker than a Heavenly Venerable force. When the eight forces unite, their strength is naturally formidable.
Gongyang Tenglong introduced each of the Heavenly Venerables present to Jiege via telepathy.
"Thunder Punishment City Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable, the controller of the Holy Emperor's Grotto Heaven."
He was a robust old man with a white face and no beard. There was a lightning bolt mark between his eyebrows, and his long black hair seemed to be wrapped with lightning.
"Thunder Punishment City Thunder God".
Thunder Goddess was a woman with a cold expression and eyes like lightning, exuding an imposing aura that made people afraid to meet her gaze.
"Thunder Punishment City's Wrathful Thunder God".
A burly man, shirtless, with bluish skin and covered in dense scars.
"Thunder Cloud Celestial Venerable of Thunder Punishment City".
Lei Yuntianzun was stunningly beautiful, possessing both the vivacity of a young woman and the charm of a mature woman; two completely different qualities were present in her.
"The Snow-Drifting Celestial of the Arctic Snow City".
The Snowdrift Celestial Venerable, dressed in white, possessed an ethereal air and handsome features, resembling a refined gentleman from the mortal world.
……
Gongyang Tenglong introduced them one by one. The number of Heavenly Venerables in the eight great Holy Emperor forces varied. Some, like Leifa City, had four Heavenly Venerable experts, the most among the eight great Holy Emperor forces.
As rare as the Eastern Extreme Holy Golden Mountain, it only had one person, Huangfu Hongxin.
"Third Senior Brother, our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain only has one Celestial Venerable, Master. Are we the weakest of the eight Holy Emperor forces?" Jeger couldn't help but ask.
Gongyang Tenglong looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly transmitted his voice, "Junior Brother, don't talk nonsense. Our eight great Holy Emperor forces are of one mind and advance and retreat together. What's the difference in strength? Although, although our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain does only have Master as a Heavenly Venerable, Master is very powerful. Among these twenty Heavenly Venerables present, Master can rank in the top three!"
"That's amazing?" Jagger was somewhat surprised.
"Of course, Master possesses two Celestial Treasures, which are extremely powerful among the many Celestial Venerables in the entire God Realm."
"Two Celestial Treasures!" Jeger raised an eyebrow. He remembered that most Celestial Venerables in the Linmeng Universe only had one Celestial Treasure, except for Che Houyuan, who possessed two Celestial Treasures. However, Che Houyuan's other Celestial Treasure was crafted by himself.
Jag once again realized the difference between the Linmeng Universe God Realm and the Hongmeng Universe God Realm.
"Senior brother, how should we define the difference in strength between Heavenly Venerables?" Jage asked.
Gongyang Tenglong said, "Junior Brother, you become a God-King by comprehending the complete Law of Space, and a Celestial Venerable by comprehending the complete Law of Time, right?"
"Know."
"The Celestial Venerables all possess complete knowledge of the laws of space and time. If it comes to a contest of these two laws, the Celestial Venerables are evenly matched. Therefore, when the Celestial Venerables fight, they don't actually place much importance on these two laws, because everyone knows them. In the previous battle between Master and Celestial Venerable Wanhuo, they didn't use the laws of space and time to duel."
Jag recalled the battle scene and nodded to himself.
Gongyang Tenglong continued, "What determines the difference in strength between Heavenly Venerables is other aspects, such as their physical bodies. Some Heavenly Venerables have incredibly strong bodies, comparable to first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasures, or even Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures. Naturally, they have a great advantage in battle."
"Some Celestial Venerables have also developed powerful ultimate techniques that can suppress other Celestial Venerables."
"However, the most influential factor on the strength of a Celestial Venerable is magic treasures. The more Celestial Venerable treasures a person possesses, the stronger their power, and the greater their combat strength. If a Celestial Venerable possesses a Cave Heaven-type Celestial Venerable treasure, they are invincible and can be called an invincible Celestial Venerable. For example, the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable who possesses the Holy Emperor Cave Heaven, as well as the other seven Cave Heaven Lords."
"Senior brother, you're saying this Holy Emperor's Grotto-Heaven is a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure?"
"Yes, just as my Ram Realm is a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Holy Emperor's Grotto is a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure. Of course, the Holy Emperor's Grotto is much more powerful than my Ram Realm."
Jeger suddenly realized that when he first entered the Holy Emperor's Cave Heaven, he felt that it was somewhat similar to the Gongyang Realm.
"Junior brother, the Cave Heaven-type Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures are truly valuable. No matter how strong an ordinary Heavenly Venerable is, they are only strong individually. But if one possesses a Cave Heaven-type Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure, they can bring their clansmen and relatives into it. When fighting, they can do so without any worries, without concern for the safety of their family and friends. They have no worries whatsoever. After all, even Heavenly Venerables cannot break through Cave Heaven-type Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures. This is also why the Eight Great Cave Heaven Forces are stronger than the Thirty Great Heavenly Venerable Forces."
"However, Celestial Venerable Treasures of the Cave Heaven type are very rare. Most Celestial Venerables do not possess them. Other Celestial Venerables mostly possess ordinary Celestial Venerable Treasures. In battle, whoever possesses more Celestial Venerable Treasures is generally stronger. Master possesses two Celestial Venerable Treasures, so he is naturally stronger than someone who only has one. Not to mention some Celestial Venerables do not possess any Celestial Venerable Treasures at all."
"Not a single one? The Celestial Venerable doesn't have any Celestial Venerable Treasures?" Jage was astonished.
He remembered that in the Linmeng Universe, all Celestial Venerables possessed Celestial Venerable Treasures.
In every epoch of the Linmeng Universe, a Celestial Venerable Mountain will descend once. Each time the Celestial Venerable Mountain descends, a Celestial Venerable will be born, and the new Celestial Venerable will also receive a corresponding Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure.
When Che Houyuan became a Celestial Venerable, he obtained the Celestial Venerable Treasure "Floating World Seal". In addition, he also obtained the Celestial Venerable Treasure "Stabilizing Origin Pearl" which he refined himself. Thus, he was able to possess two Celestial Venerable Treasures by himself.
"What's so strange about that?" Gongyang Tenglong was puzzled by Jiege's reaction. "As long as you comprehend the complete laws of time, you can become a Celestial Venerable. It has nothing to do with whether you have a Celestial Venerable treasure or not. Junior Brother, tell me, if I were to have an epiphany now and comprehend all the laws of time, becoming a Celestial Venerable, wouldn't I just be a Celestial Venerable without a Celestial Venerable treasure?"
Jag quickly realized that perhaps, in the Primordial Universe God Realm, there was no such thing as the Heavenly Venerable Mountain descending.
Although Lin Lei created the Linmeng Universe based on the Hongmeng Universe, he may have made some of his own modifications.
"Senior brother, are all those Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures crafted?" Jage asked.
"More or less," Gongyang Tenglong said. "Those few in the Hundred Refinements Pavilion who surpass the Grandmaster of Weapon Refining all have the ability to refine Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures. This is also the reason why the Hundred Refinements Pavilion has a transcendent status in the God Realm. Even Heavenly Venerables, most of them can only refine first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasures at most. They can't refine Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures on their own. If they want Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasures, they can only ask the Hundred Refinements Pavilion for help."
"Senior brother, are there many Celestial Venerables among the Celestial Venerables?"
"This..." Gongyang Tenglong hesitated, "I don't know the exact number, but it's probably more than half."
Upon hearing this, Jeger couldn't help but sigh, "The eight great grotto-heavens of the God Realm and the thirty great Heavenly Venerable forces all have Heavenly Venerable experts. If even a small portion of these forces possess Heavenly Venerable treasures, how much Primordial Spiritual Energy and rare and precious materials would be required?"
He remembered that Lin Mengyu's Che Houyuan had spent countless years collecting materials throughout the main universe in order to refine a Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure. Not to mention anything else, just the amount of Primordial Spiritual Energy required to refine a Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure was unknown.
"That's why the Celestial Venerables value the Celestial Venerable Battlefield," Gongyang Tenglong sighed.
"The Heavenly Venerable Battlefield? Senior Brother, what kind of place is that?" Jeger had heard Huangfu Hongxin mention this name a few times before, but he had never had the chance to learn more about it.
Gongyang Tenglong said, "That is a peculiar space that is only opened once per epoch. Only God-Kings and Heavenly Venerables can enter. It is filled with primordial spiritual energy and is the best place to obtain primordial spiritual energy. Without the Heavenly Venerable Battlefield, even if all the primordial spiritual treasures in the universe were recycled, we would not be able to refine the Heavenly Venerable spiritual treasures that exist today."
"However, the Celestial Venerable Battlefield is extremely dangerous. Primordial Qi is both a treasure and a terrifying thing that brings destruction. If one is overwhelmed by a large amount of Primordial Qi, even a Celestial Venerable will perish. Moreover, within the Celestial Venerable Battlefield, in order to compete for more Primordial Qi to refine Celestial Venerable treasures and obtain fragments of the Law of Time, the Celestial Venerables will fight each other fiercely."
"Fragments of the laws of time?" Jage was taken aback. "Senior brother, what are those?"
"These are the Celestial Venerables' insights into the laws of time. Generally speaking, whether it's a God-King or a Celestial Venerable, once they fall, they fall. The spatial and temporal laws they've gained won't be left behind. But it's different in the Celestial Venerable Battlefield. If a Celestial Venerable falls there, the time laws he's gained will turn into fragments and drift within the Celestial Venerable Battlefield. If a God-King obtains them, he can directly refine them and gain these insights into the laws of time."
"This..." Jag was shocked. There was no such thing in the Linmeng Universe God Realm.
"In that case, if the God-King obtains enough fragments of the laws of time, wouldn't he be able to easily become a Celestial Venerable?" Jage said.
"That's how it is in theory. However, these fragments of the laws of time cannot be taken out of the Celestial Venerable Battlefield. Therefore, every time the Celestial Venerable Battlefield opens, many God Kings from the God Realm will also enter it, hoping to get the opportunity to become Celestial Venerables."
Gongyang Tenglong sighed, "Celestial Venerables are also living beings with seven emotions and six desires. Many Celestial Venerables have descendants and nephews, and they also hope that their descendants can become Celestial Venerables. The major forces in the God Realm are constantly fighting, and many have already formed deadly enmities. Each side also wants to have more Celestial Venerables to make their own forces stronger. The Celestial Venerable Battlefield provides the best opportunity to kill enemy Celestial Venerables and have their descendants or subordinate God Kings refine the fragments of the Law of Time."
"In order to compete for the Primordial Spiritual Energy to refine Celestial Venerable Treasures, and for the fragments of the Law of Time, the Celestial Venerable Battlefield has become the place where Celestial Venerables fight the most fiercely."
As he spoke, Gongyang Tenglong's expression suddenly darkened: "In fact, over the countless years, our Holy Emperor's Grotto has produced more than 20 Celestial Venerables, but many of them have perished in the Celestial Venerable Battlefield. Our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain had two Celestial Venerables a century ago. The other one, who was our Uncle, perished when the Celestial Venerable Battlefield opened last time."
As Jaggi listened to Gongyang Tenglong's introduction, his understanding of the Hongmeng Universe God Realm deepened.
"The Celestial Battlefield feels like the Celestial Mountain of the Primordial Universe," Jage thought to himself.
The Celestial Battlefield opens once per epoch, and the Celestial Mountain in the Linmeng Universe also descends once per epoch.
However, the Celestial Venerable Mountain in the Linmeng Universe is not as cruel as the Celestial Venerable Battlefield. The descent of the Celestial Venerable Mountain is merely a chance for God Kings to compete for the opportunity to become Celestial Venerables, and the Celestial Venerables do not interfere.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he tentatively asked, "Senior brother, does our master have a master's revered master?"
"You mean our grandmaster? Yes, but our grandmaster was only a God-King, not a Celestial Venerable, and he perished millions of years ago," Gongyang Tenglong sighed.
Not getting the answer he wanted, Jagger pressed on, "Then, is there anything stronger than the Celestial Venerable?"
"Stronger than the Celestial Venerable? Junior Brother, I've followed Master for so many years and I've never heard him mention anything stronger than the Celestial Venerable." Gongyang Tenglong replied with a smile.
Jag's eyes flickered, and he realized once again the difference between the Hongmeng Universe God Realm and the Linmeng Universe God Realm.
The Celestial Venerables of the Linmeng Universe all take Lin Lei as their master, so there may be some grudges between them, but they will not fight each other like the Celestial Venerables of the Hongmeng Universe.
"Linley, after all, cultivated himself from a mortal to become stronger step by step. Even after becoming the controller of Hongmeng, his attitude towards all living beings was not as indifferent as Hongmeng's." Thinking of the differences between the two universes of gods, Jugg couldn't help but sigh.
In the Linmon universe, Linley usually doesn't interfere in the affairs of the universe, but he does sometimes.
For example, he would take a Celestial Venerable as a disciple, have his eldest disciple, the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu, restrain the other Celestial Venerables, directly give the new Celestial Venerable a Celestial Venerable treasure, and in order to balance the local forces of the God Realm and the forces of the Ascended, he would choose to make the "Free and Unfettered God King" of the Ascended camp a Celestial Venerable. He would also compensate Che Houyuan for not being able to refine the "Stabilizing Yuan Pearl" into a real universe by making him a Celestial Venerable.
Compared to Lin Lei, Hongmeng basically leaves the universe to its own devices.
He will not let life in the universe know of his existence, will not take Celestial Venerables as disciples, and will not pay attention to the battles between Celestial Venerables. New Celestial Venerables who want Celestial Venerable Treasures will have to find their own way.
To Hongmeng, whether someone is as weak as an ant or as powerful as a celestial being, there is no difference. His purpose in creating the universe was simply to see if a Hongmeng controller like himself could appear.
Only those who break free from the constraints of the universe, enter the Primordial Chaos Space, and remain immortal can be treated differently by the Primordial Chaos and become its brothers.
"Brother Huangfu, is this your newly accepted disciple?"
A loud voice pulled Jag back from his thoughts.
Jag noticed that everyone in the hall was looking at him.
The one who spoke just now was Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable, who was sitting in the main seat.
The master of the Holy Emperor's Grotto-Heaven was looking at him with a smile.
Huangfu Hongxin laughed and said, "That's right, his name is Qiao Jie. He has good talent. The cosmic space 'Panlong Realm' that we discovered this time is his hometown. It is also because of him that our Holy Emperor Cave Heaven was able to gain the upper hand."
