Chapter 282 It's alright now, you scared me!
Unlike others.
When Qiongqi and the others saw the twenty-seven prayer cushions, they immediately understood.
This is no ordinary prayer cushion.
This is clearly a connection between the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, totaling twenty-seven celestial saints!
After all, they were there when Dao Zun was chatting with his elder brother and the others!
After a group of Primordial Golden Immortals secured their seats, the fastest among them were Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, Hong Yun, Di Jiang, and Zhu Jiuyin.
The speed at which these six people emerged caught even the Three Pure Ones off guard, leaving them only able to watch helplessly as they occupied all six seats.
Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones were soon elected to three more seats.
However, just as they were about to sit down, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Why can't we sit down?!" The Supreme Lord frowned, his mind filled with doubt.
He tried to sit down again, but found that he could not touch the cushion no matter what he did, as if an invisible force was keeping him away.
Taishang turned to look at Yuanshi and Tongtian, and found that they were also confused and puzzled.
Looking at the other Primordial Golden Immortals, they were just as unable to sit down.
Taishang breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "It seems that it is not that our cultivation is insufficient, but that this futon has some hidden secret."
At the same time, Qiongqi and his companions also noticed this anomaly.
Qiongqi looked down at the futon beneath his feet, filled with doubt.
"Why can't I sit down? Perhaps I'm just not meant to be on this meditation cushion?"
Suddenly, Qiongqi seemed to have thought of something and abruptly turned to look at the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches.
I found that they all looked just like me, full of doubt and confusion.
Obviously, they were also unable to sit down afterward.
Qiongqi breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on his lips. He chuckled, "Hehe... So even the Three Pure Ones can't fit. Oh well, you scared me!"
Others may not know, but do you think Qiongqi and the others don't know?
These Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches were pre-selected!
Then, Qiongqi and the others exchanged glances, already understanding each other's intentions.
Since we can't sit down, we'll settle for something else.
So, without hesitation, they moved back to the second row and found a seat near the front.
I'm about to sit down.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the seats they chose, and they sat down immediately.
Seeing Qiongqi and the others' actions, the three Qing brothers hesitated for a moment, but ultimately retreated just like Qiongqi.
I sat down directly in the second row.
Anyway, Dao Zun is my second uncle, so he shouldn't mistreat them, right?
Dijiang and Zhujiuyin shared the same idea as the Three Pure Ones.
I simply chose a seat in the second row and sat down.
Everyone who saw this was stunned.
what's going on?
These people have all managed to get seats, so why aren't they sitting down?
But they had no time to think about it.
After all, although the ferocious beast clan and the Three Pure Ones and Ancestral Witches had all withdrawn, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, as well as Di Jun, Hong Yun, and others, had not!
No matter what the problem is, let's reserve a spot first!
So they mustered all their strength and headed toward the remaining seventeen seats on the twenty-seven prayer mats.
Even Houtu, Xuanming, Zhenyuanzi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Styx each got a seat.
After some probing, they discovered that, like the Three Pure Ones and the others, they were completely unable to touch the prayer mat.
They also understood why the elders of the ferocious beast clan and the Three Pure Ones Ancestral Witches had retreated.
So that's why you can't sit down!
Houtu and Xuanming then exchanged a glance, and like Dijiang and the others, they made the same choice: to retreat to the second row.
Anyway, given their identities, there's nothing to be afraid of!
The same applies to the other ancestral witches.
After trying out the first twenty-seven seats and finding that there were no seats available, they simply returned to their original seats.
With the retreat of the Ancestral Witches, the Three Pure Ones, and the ferocious beast clan.
Those twenty-seven seats were taken by later entrants.
This brings the total to twenty-seven seats.
All done.
The demon race occupied a total of eight seats.
Mara, Motian, Ezhu, Ketu, and the other two demon generals under Rahu, plus Jieyin and Zhunti, make a total of eight people!
The first four were all Hunyuan Golden Immortals, while the latter four were at the peak and late stage of Daluo Golden Immortals.
As for the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, each occupied two seats.
As for the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestral Witches, and the strongest ferocious beast clan have all retreated.
These three races are the strongest races besides the demon race.
If they weren't worried that their own family group would occupy too many seats and fear that their ancestor and Daoist Master would blame them, these twenty-seven seats probably wouldn't be enough for them to share!
Aside from the fourteen seats occupied by the Demon Race and the three other races.
The remaining thirteen seats were won by Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, Tai Wei, Ling Shuang, Lin Niu, Zhen Yuan Zi, Ming He, Hong Yun, Dong Wang Gong, Xi Wang Mu, Nuwa, and Fu Xi.
The sheer number of seats occupied by the Heavenly Court, in particular, shocked everyone present.
Six people in total!
How terrifying this is!
It has the same number as the combined numbers of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.
All I can say is, this is truly worthy of being called the Heavenly Court!
As the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother looked at the six seats in the Heavenly Court, their faces showed both joy and a hint of gloom.
The two men were somewhat resentful of the lack of ambition among their subordinates.
Damn it, can't you guys be a little more competitive?
The demon court had as many as six people, while their celestial court only had him and the Queen Mother of the West.
Even one more would be great!
It wouldn't be so awkward.
Afterwards, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother thought for a moment and secretly sent a telepathic message to Ling Yi, instructing him to bring people from the Celestial Court to find a few easy targets and compete for a place.
It should be noted that Ling Yi's cultivation level, which is only one step away from the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, makes him arguably the strongest among the two of them.
With his cultivation level and the rest of the Celestial Court members, it shouldn't be difficult for him to compete for one or two seats.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi also looked up sharply, his gaze sweeping over the twenty-seven people standing on the seats, before subconsciously landing on the six Heavenly Court members led by Di Jun.
A moment of hesitation flashed through his mind as he pondered whether or not to take action.
Drive one or two of those people from Heaven down.
So that they could rise to power.
Although the Heavenly Court is powerful and far superior to the current Celestial Court, there are still demons here.
In addition, the tribulation of inner demons has not yet ended.
If a fight were to break out, the demons would probably lend them a hand.
When the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother saw Ling Yi's gaze, they knew what Ling Yi was thinking.
Although they shared this idea, neither of them intended to take action against the Heavenly Court.
There's no other reason than that this is the Dao Venerable's Daoist temple. If a real battle were to break out between the Dao Venerable and the Demon Court led by Emperor Jun, Emperor Jun would never let it go. If we're not careful, a major battle could ensue.
It would be bad if the people of Heaven were expelled from them.
On the contrary, those with weak backgrounds and isolated individuals are the best.
Even if they are dissatisfied with their own Celestial Court, they are powerless to do anything about it due to the strength of the Celestial Court!
Ling Yi listened to the telepathic communication between the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, thought about it, and realized that it made sense.
Then they looked at the others again.
Nuwa and Fuxi, brother and sister, are one entity and not to be trifled with.
After all, Nuwa's cultivation as a Primordial Golden Immortal was no joke.
Besides these, there were Hongyun, Minghe, and Zhenyuanzi.
None of the three had any connections, and they were all alone.
However, Zhen Yuanzi possesses the Book of Earth, and the karmic consequences are too great. Even if they all rush at him, it will probably not be resolved in a short time.
Since that's the case, only Hongyun and Minghe remain!
