[The Unification of the Three Sects The Heavenly Court of South Chu]

[Previously] Does Ye Chen have to be eliminated

for this divine tribulation to end?

The divine tribulation has advanced again.

Though the number hasn't changed,

now the strength of one

equals that of nine.

If he can withstand the Nine Monarchs' divine punishment,

he will be the pillar of Chu.

I also want to be the supreme monarch.

Since you won't let me ascend to the Tianji Stage,

I'll drag all of you down.

Since you won't let me ascend to the Tianji Stage,

I'll drag all of you down.

Demon King,

it was the Blood King and his lot who struck first.

I'm just here to see how things unfold.

Save that nonsense for the Ghost King.

Even with the restorative pills,

it's like a drop in the bucket.

If this continues,

none of the Eight Kings will be able to advance to the Tianji Stage.

If one of the Eight Kings advances to the Tianji Stage first,

their Tao would leave an imprint on the world,

suppressing the others.

This would effectively block the remaining seven from advancing.

How could they possibly stand by and let that happen?

Don't let me get the chance,

or I'll beat them to a pulp.

The Eight Kings are out of the picture.

A balance must be maintained among the Eight Kings.

The one who breaks that balance

will become the enemy of all.

They're all at an impasse.

It will be a good thing if they fight to the death.

As expected, I was right.

This sword...

changed back.

Could it be...?

Let's protect the Holy Lord.

I suggest we do it together.

If the Eight Kings break into the Sea of Thunder again

and advance to the Tianji Stage,

it will spell trouble for us all.

Ye Chen,

you must make it out alive.

Tao of Primal Chaos.

My life...

My life force

and spiritual energy are almost drained.

Heavenly Illumination!

- Ye Chen! - Ye Chen!

- Dodge! - Dodge!

Ye Chen.

Immortal Wheel Rebirth.

The divine tribulation has led to your transformation,

allowing you to wield this Immortal Wheel Forbidden Technique.

Immortal Wheel Rebirth.

This technique is so powerful.

My life force and spiritual energy are restored to their peak.

I'm going all out.

There's a chance to win.

Immortal Wheel Rebirth!

This forbidden technique can quickly bring your spiritual energy

back to its peak,

but it also continuously saps your life.

If you don't restrain yourself,

your life will be consumed.

Then I'll settle this fast.

I'll eliminate the Nine Monarchs before my life runs out

and survive the divine tribulation.

What astonishing regenerative ability!

What kind of monster is that kid?

Is Ye Chen burning through his life again?

To be more precise,

he's giving his life as a tribute to a powerful forbidden technique.

Looks like his life is running out.

Ye,

your life is too short to sustain

a complete activation of the Immortal Wheel Rebirth.

If...

I understand.

But now there's only one of them left.

How could I possibly give up?

Moonfall.

Immortal Wheel Rebirth!

Darkened Sun Devours the Moon!

The tribulation clouds have dissipated.

Empowered by Nature's Force,

the Holy Lord has advanced to the Zhuntian Stage.

Such an imposing presence

is beyond that of a typical Zhuntian-Stage cultivator.

He has established himself.

We fought fiercely,

yet in the end, he came out on top.

Is that acceptable to all of you?

Since that's the case,

then please eliminate him, Soul Devouring King.

I'll host a celebration banquet for you.

The divine tribulation was filled with unexpected twists,

and your contributions were undeniable.

I was lucky to survive.

I will surely repay you handsomely in the future.

I shall be waiting.

Don't forget that I will come for your head myself.

Young man,

I'll be waiting for you.

Darn it.

They finally left.

Now that the Eight Kings have left,

we'll be on our way too.

I am deeply grateful

for all of your support.

Keeping an eye on them is part of our duty,

so there's no need to thank us.

Come visit the Tian Hall when you have time.

Zhanlong Sect as well.

We can have a friendly spar.

I will, for sure.

Thank you.

No need to thank me.

This is my father's sword.

You've used it long enough.

It's time to return it to its rightful owner.

Tianque is the Tai Emperor's sword?

I've formed quite an attachment to it.

How about you lend it to me for a few more days?

I'll have one less handy weapon from here on out.

Don't forget about our agreement,

or I'll be upset.

I won't.

What on earth is happening?

Holy Lord,

the whole Zhengyang Sect has been dealt with.

Cheng Kun and the others are awaiting your punishments.

Let's go.

I've been looking for someone to vent my frustration on.

Cheng Kun,

you colluded with the evil

to steal and refine the bodies of the predecessors,

harmed the disciples of the sect,

and secretly instigated the war between the Three Sects.

Your crimes are punishable by death.

Crimes?

All I wanted was to unify all forces of Chu,

what's the crime in that?

The only mistake I made was not killing you sooner.

You traitor...

I swore an oath of vengeance.

This word always reminds me

that I bear the blood debts of Xi Yan and those mortal soldiers.

These debts must be repaid, one by one, to Yin Zhiyuan, Lingzhen,

and the vermin of the Zhengyang Sect.

Now,

these debts are settled.

Declare to South Chu in my name.

The Three Sects now are unified.

Any remaining followers of the Zhengyang Sect or opposing forces

will be eradicated.

- As you command, Holy Lord. - As you command, Holy Lord.

- By the order of the Holy Lord, - By the order of the Holy Lord,

- we will suppress the rebellious. - we will suppress the rebellious.

- War! - War!

Have you...

successfully unified South Chu?

Initially, we were only targeting Zhengyang Sect's die-hard loyalists,

but as news of the unification of the Three Sects spread,

other forces began joining in.

Is this for real?

The unification of South Chu is inevitable.

If those sects and aristocrats don't want to be left behind,

they'll naturally seek the strongest ally to cling to.

Chief,

now that South Chu has been unified under your leadership,

it's time to choose a name for it.

A name?

The Chu Emperor established the Chu Imperial Clan,

the Yan Emperor founded Yanhuang,

and the Yue Empress created the Guanghan Palace.

Each monarch has left an immortal legacy.

It's time for you to name your own faction.

But I am not an emperor.

It's hard for me to bear such an honor.

Besides, what I have done is merely to protect my family and friends,

not to become a ruler above everyone.

Oh, why are you so stubborn?

Does being an emperor

mean you can't protect your family and friends?

Fellow Taoist Chu is right.

As for whether one is an emperor,

even Chen Emperor wasn't a monarch before founding a sect in Chu.

It was only due to the backing of various factions

that he ascended to the throne.

Now,

we simply wish to follow you, Chief.

- We are willing to defend you - We are willing to defend you

- and see you rise as Emperor. - and see you rise as Emperor.

In that case,

I won't be so stubborn.

Let's choose a name.

How about calling it Dragon Palace?

We're not dragons.

It should be something instantly recognizable

and sound dominating,

like the Axe Gang.

What a tacky name.

Holy Lord, do you already have something in mind?

Heavenly Court.

What do you all think?

Heavenly Court,

the court of the heavens.

This name is brilliant.

I still think the Axe Gang sounds better.

Get lost.

It's subtle yet domineering,

with profound meaning.

As there are no objections from you all,

it is decided.

With the new name,

the forces and authority will be restructured.

The Heavenly Court's headquarters will be located at Ling Mountain,

the center of the Three Sects' overlapping territories.

The Three Sects will remain,

but will be reorganized into nine halls and eighty-one sub-sects

encircling the Heavenly Court.

In case of conflict, mutual reinforcement will be possible.

Regarding authority,

the Heavenly Court's Holy Lord will be at the helm,

and an Elder Council will be established,

initially consisting of Zhong Jiang,

Zhong Kui,

Mr. Chu,

Martial Grandaunt,

Grandmaster Hengtian, and Mr. Gu Santong.

Major decisions will require approval from the Elder Council.

Below them, each sect will be led by a Chief.

Martial Uncle will govern the Hengyue Sect,

Zhou Ao will govern the Qingyun Sect,

and Ji Ningshuang will govern Zhengyang Sect.

The hall masters

and sub-sect masters will be chosen by the Three Sects

and the final decision will be made by the Elder Council.

To cover a few exceptions:

The Dihuang Assassin Group and the Renhuang Intelligence Group

will still be headed by Zhong Li and Hongchen Xue.

City of Pills remains the same,

with Mr. Dan Chen staying as the City Lord.

These three entities will directly report to the Holy Lord.

As of today,

the Heavenly Court is established.

All members of the Heavenly Court

shall walk the righteous path

and uphold goodness in the world.

- We shall abide by the Holy Decree, - We shall abide by the Holy Decree,

- walk the righteous path, - walk the righteous path,

- uphold goodness in the world, - uphold goodness in the world,

- and spread the mighty name - and spread the mighty name

- of the Heavenly Court. - of the Heavenly Court.

[Next Episode]

I found an Extreme Path Imperial Weapon

in the Five Forbidden Areas.

I've come into contact

with all the forces of Chu,

but only the Tianxuan Sect stands out as overwhelmingly powerful.

There's no doubt they're involved in this.

Let's head to the Tianxuan Sect now

and get to the bottom of it.

I know why you are here.

If any of you can hit me before the timer expires

in the Sands of Time,

I'll tell you what you want to know.
