Therefore — we need a great victory! " Yan Yunxi said, "The waterborne host of the Celestial River is the most powerful army of gods and demons in the Heavenly Court: great ships a hundred and twenty thousand, lesser vessels at a million, and gods and demons beyond counting. The command of the River has always been assumed by a Heavenly Master in person.
Which Heavenly Master commands it this time? " "It is the Heavenly Master Zhu Shaoping.
Among the four Heavenly Masters, Zhu Shaoping ranks fourth.
" The Fisherman Heavenly Master raised a hand, and from the Celestial River flew out a school of four or five hundred fish; they circled him several times and whispered in his ear. After a moment, Fisherman Hantang said, "But this time, planted within the River host are Ge Yuntian, the Senior Auxiliary among the Heavenly Court's two Auxiliaries; the Left Vice-Chancellor among its four Chancellors; the Six Jia, the Grand Secretary, the Left Pivot, and the Right Pivot.
In addition, the Five Chariots army of the Heavenly Court lends support, five columns striking on the flanks. " The school of fish rose of its own accord again, plunged into the Celestial River, and swam merrily away. Yan Yunxi drew a sharp breath.
"Even these Emperor's Throne powerhouses are taking the field," she said in a low voice.
"Far too few of us stand at the Emperor's Throne level — there is no way we can hold them off… " The Woodcutter Sage turned his gaze upon her.
"This battle," he said, word by word, "we must win.
" Yan Yunxi smiled. "I know.
What a pity — if you had only cultivated with a whole heart, instead of making that muddled doctrine of attaining the Dao by acquired nurture, you would be at the Emperor's Throne level by now. " Zhuo Cha, the Martial Heavenly Master, cut in suddenly, "No. Merely with these forces, they can indeed contend with Carefree Village, but to sweep Carefree Village away with the ease of snapping dried weeds — that is hardly possible.
After all, the Netherworld Heavenly Venerate holds this ground, and the Divine King Lang Wan is here as well — two great Heavenly Venerates. If two great Heavenly Venerates were to strike…
" The Woodcutter Sage turned to Fisherman Hantang; Hantang shook his head. "I can command the water beasts of the Celestial River and keep watch on the movements of the River host," he said, "but if a Heavenly Venerate lies hidden among them, these beasts cannot see it. " Frowning, the Woodcutter Sage studied the watery patterns of the River.
"There is certainly something in the River host that can deal with our two Heavenly Venerates," he said.
"The Void Heavenly Venerate can hold back the Netherworld Heavenly Venerate.
As for the Divine King Lang Wan — I fear she will have to face the Taiji Ancient God. Pass on my order: let the people of Carefree Village be moved to Jingping.
" The other three Heavenly Masters felt their hearts tremble.
With a calm face the Woodcutter said, "If we cannot win, let us leave a few roots and shoots for the Kaihuang age. " The three Heavenly Masters nodded in silence and ordered that a portion of the gods and demons be detached to begin moving the population of Carefree Village.
More than ten days later, the Celestial River suddenly convulsed with terrible violence — the whole River, in an instant, lost control and came crashing down from the sky.
At once the floodwaters rose to the heavens, inundating the earth, and everything in their path was swallowed!
How fierce was the Celestial River! This great stream, which had run across the countless heavens of the cosmos, fell from above, pressing the land down until it sank; the flood spread for who knew how many tens of thousands of miles, surging and smashing, and whatever it passed — plains, basins, high mountains — was turned into one endless watery waste.
The common folk of the Primordial Realm all became duckweed struggling and wailing on the flood, borne along by the waves!
