Chapter 501: Revelry and Bodhisattva

The decisive battle at Fallen Mountain that shook the entire Central Plains came to an end with Hun Yuantian's departure, leaving many with a lingering sense of unfulfillment.

The final result surprised everyone. The Hall of Souls, the dominant force that had been running rampant in Central Plains for centuries, finally met a formidable force that could curb their arrogance.

After several years of consolidation, the Heavenly Court, originally formed by the Pill Tower and a dozen other forces, exuded astonishing vitality!

Moreover, the number of experts gathered in the Heavenly Court was enough to put even long-established forces to shame.

In any region, a Dou Saint expert was considered an ancestor-level venerable powerhouse. But in the Heavenly Court, there were more than a few.

This demonstrated to everyone that the Heavenly Court did not rely on luck to defeat the Hall of Souls, but rather on their own strength.

What was most breathtaking was that this alliance was led by a young man who, despite his tender age, could crush the once-mighty Chief of the Hall of Souls like a chick.

After this battle, everyone realized that the Heavenly Court would now be unrivaled in the Central Plains. Many people would undoubtedly spread the word about this incredible battle through word of mouth...

...

The news of the battle at the Fallen Mountain Range spread throughout the Heavenly Court, and as expected, it caused a tremendous sense of shock and wild rejoicing, akin to the earth trembling and the heavens splitting.

For almost half a month, the entire Heavenly Court was in a state of revelry.

With the influence of the Hall of Souls no longer binding them, the Heavenly Court was now poised to wield unparalleled prestige and power in the Central Plains, and even the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Every member of the Heavenly Court, even those on the outermost periphery, could hold their heads high and exude a sense of pride when interacting with others. Why was that? Because they wore the emblem of the Heavenly Court on their chests!

The glory of the Heavenly Court was their own glory!

The deeds of the three participants in this battle, Xiao Ming, Zi Yan, and the Pill Tower Ancestor, were once again celebrated and recounted.

Of course, the Pill Tower Ancestor's old deeds were well known to many, so the members of the Heavenly Court had even more respect for him. As for Xiao Ming and Zi Yan, who had achieved extraordinary feats at a young age, they once again became the center of attention. They became the idols of many young talents.

The appearance of two eight-star Dou Saints was also a hot topic of conversation among the people.

But what most intrigued everyone was the relationship between their Alliance Leader and Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe.

When was their Alliance Leader planning to marry the Dragon Emperor? That was something they were eager to find out.

This only served to demonstrate that gossiping was a universal pastime.

Not only did these people want to know the answer, but so did a certain Dragon Emperor...

The celebrations within the Heavenly Court continued for half a month before gradually subsiding. While the ordinary members were ecstatic to the point of madness, the top echelons remained calm.

The victory over the Hall of Souls had undoubtedly brought the Heavenly Court countless benefits. However, now that they held the highest position, they were bound to face numerous challenges, both overt and covert.

The Heavenly Court had only been in existence for a few years, but it had grown at an astonishing rate. Its establishment was relatively brief in comparison to the longevity of some of the more established forces in the Central Plains.

Even if these older forces weren't willing to openly confront the Heavenly Court, they wouldn't hesitate to make covert moves.

If they could dissolve the Heavenly Court, that would be even better. After all, no one wanted a super faction looming over them.

The higher echelons of the Heavenly Court didn't want to lose face, and they also wanted to straighten out the discipline.

So, shortly after the end of the great battle, Xiao Ming, in his capacity as Alliance Leader, issued a strict order. He forbade any member to use this victory to act arrogantly towards outsiders. Any violation of this order would result in expulsion from the Heavenly Court, and in severe cases, even the abolition of one's cultivation!

Under such strict punishment and restraint, the Heavenly Court appeared remarkably calm to the outside world after its major victory. There were few reports of actions that tarnished their reputation.

This approach won the silent approval of many, and they held the Heavenly Court in even higher esteem.

Although the Heavenly Court had defeated the Hall of Souls, it was a fact that the Hall of Souls still existed. They were lurking, waiting for the Heavenly Court to make a mistake so that they could strike again...

And as the Heavenly Court continued its steady rise in tranquility, more and more experts with a grudge against the Hall of Souls began to join their ranks.

While some had previously joined the Heavenly Court, most had chosen to remain hidden, as the Hall of Souls had the backing of the Hun Clan.

However, now that the Heavenly Court had defeated the Hall of Souls and become the sole rulers of the Central Plains, these people naturally flocked to join.

The Heavenly Court did not rush to absorb this influx of new members. After a thorough examination, they accepted them as peripheral members. Only those with exceptional strength and trustworthiness were granted exceptions, allowing them to be absorbed into the inner ranks.

Seeing that the alliance's structure was becoming bloated, Xiao Ming initiated another round of reforms. Coming from Earth, he knew well that it was easier to conquer than to govern. He didn't want the Heavenly Court to meet a bitter end in the future.

Under this methodical recruitment and reform, the strength of the Heavenly Court, this massive entity, grew even more terrifying.

As the Heavenly Court's influence grew, other news began to circulate in the Central Plains, causing a commotion. Even the Ancient Clans were no exception.

...

In the Small Pill Tower, Xiao Ming watched as Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin played with his daughter. Medusa and Zi Yan sat to his left and right, while Xuan Kong Zi sat on the opposite side.

He turned his head after hearing Xuan Kong Zi's words.

"Old Xuan, are you saying that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree has appeared? The information is accurate?"

"How could it be inaccurate? I already know the location of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's emergence, which is in the Ancient Wasteland Region located in the north-eastern part of the Central Plains."

As Xuan Kong Zi spoke, he noticed that Xiao Ming didn't seem very surprised and wasn't as excited as he had imagined. However, he didn't mention it and continued.

"Should we send someone there?"

Xuan Kong Zi would not have needed to disturb Xiao Ming if this was an ordinary place. He would have immediately instructed the alliance members to go. However, the Ancient Wasteland Region was a very dangerous place.

That area was probably the oldest place in the current Dou Qi Continent. It was also the forbidden ground of all humans.

The weather there was terrible, and poison permeated the air as ferocious beasts roamed about. These ferocious beasts were remnants from ancient times.

Some of them were not inferior to any tribe in the current Magical Beast World with the exception of the Ancient Void Dragon. Nearly ninety-nine percent of those who entered this region met an unfortunate fate.

Those beasts were bloodthirsty and violent. Although they were not intelligent, their strength was extremely terrifying. This was a truth provided by countless years of blood lessons.

Many strong individuals had once tried to enter and search for treasures, but in the end, contact with them was lost. Some renowned experts in the Central Plains were among those who had entered.

As more and more experts disappeared in the Ancient Wasteland Region, its dangerous reputation spread further. Eventually, no one dared to venture into it. Another factor was that this wasteland was a bit far away, so this once dangerous land gradually faded from people's memories.

However, no one expected that the emergence point of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would actually be within this ancient wasteland.

This made Xuan Kong Zi hesitant to make a hasty decision, so he came to ask Xiao Ming, their Alliance Leader.
