Awaken Chapter 269

Inside the main hall.

Wang Chaoyang and the others were prepared to impeach Xu Qingnian today.

But no one had expected that Xu Qingnian would suddenly change his style and admit in public that he practiced a different art.

He started to act recklessly, relying on the fact that he was already in a position of power.

This also made the crowd understand why Xu Qingnian dared to be like this.

They knew that the reason why Xu Qingnian dared to be like this was because Xu Qingnian had already had his wings full and had turned from a pawn to a chess player.

Right now, he was in a position to turn the table.

All the rules, all the laws and regulations, could no longer restrain Xu Qingnian.

This, coupled with the support of the entire Great Wei Dynasty, has allowed Xu Qingnian to be unscrupulous. ,.

But what was not expected was that Xu Qingnian would have to go this far.

Therefore, Wang Chaoyang spoke up.

He knew that Xu Qingnian was so reckless, wasn’t it because there was no one to suppress Xu Qingnian?

Now, he would ask the Holy Will to come out and suppress Xu Qingnian, and let Heaven and Earth do the suppressing.

He would like to see if Xu Qingnian still dared to continue to shout.

Vast holy power pervaded, sweeping through the entire palace almost at once.

Everyone’s faces changed, no one would have thought that things would come to this point.

The empress almost rose to her feet to stop Wang Chaoyang’s behaviour.

Wang Chaoyang was a sub-sage, a second-ranking Confucian Daoist, and controlled the power of heaven and earth.

There was no doubt about that.

And although Xu Qingnian was brilliant and a great talent in all the ages, in the end Xu Qingnian was only a half-saint.

Between Heaven and Earth, the only thing that could suppress Xu Qingnian was the power of Heaven and Earth, apart from the First Grade.

Prince Huai Ning watched quietly, a cold look in his eyes.

Ji Yuan was the same, even revealing contempt in his eyes.

Xu Qingnian relied on his position in the Great Wei Dynasty and had nothing to fear, but Xu Qingnian had overlooked one point.

Yes, in the Great Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingnian almost existed like a god, the six ministries and all the civil servants supported him, there was nothing wrong with that, even the empress supported Xu Qingnian.

But this does not mean that there is no one who can suppress Xu Qingnian.

Wang Chaoyang is the biggest killer. He is a sub-saint, and one step short of a saint, Wang Chaoyang is a saint.

A true saint.

Xu Qingnian was a half-saint, and there was still a huge gap between the two.

Boom, boom, boom.

At this moment, the Great Wei Dynasty, the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature, which had been quiet, suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura.

It was the aura of a saint.

Swoosh, swoosh.

A holy statue shadow appeared in the sky above the Great Wei Dynasty.

These holy images, each of which looked terrifying, stood in the vault of the sky, quietly gazing at the world.

Five holy statues appeared, stirring up the clouds of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth were changing erratically, thunder was loud and there were clouds filling the sky, obscuring everything.

Ever since Xu Qingnian had entered the capital of Great Wei, all powers had, at the first opportunity, focused their attention on him.

In the past three months, rumours about Xu Qingnian have been circulating.

People were curious as to whether Xu Qingnian had practised the supernatural arts or not, and whether he had become a demon or not.

With Xu Qingnian’s arrival, it was only natural that countless concerns were drawn.

Now that Xu Qingnian has returned to the capital in a big way, naturally the world knows that something is about to happen again in the Great Wei Dynasty.

They were prepared for it, but they did not expect that it would directly lead to a holy will ruling.

Looking at this situation, this was to put Xu Qingnian to death.

Inside Kyoto.

The Heaven and Earth Literature Palace unleashed an unparalleled Haozheng Qi, a terrifying Haozheng Qi that rose up into the sky and transformed into five holy figures.

Wang Chaoyang wanted to use the holy intent to kill Xu Qingnian.

But at that very moment.

Xu Qingnian’s voice, too, rang out.

“Today.”

“I, Xu Qingnian.”

“With the power of heaven and earth, I will see my heart.”

“Enter the sub-sage realm.”

In the middle of the main hall, as Wang Chaoyang lashed out, Prince Huai Ning, Ji Yuan, and Daoist Qingjing revealed smiles.

In their opinion, a sub-saint beating a half-saint, this was not even a hanging fight?

Especially, Xu Qingnian had actually cultivated the foreign arts.

Naturally, in this regard, Wang Chaoyang had an advantage.

But what he didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian was going to enter the sub-sage realm at this juncture?

This was simply unbelievable.

After all, Xu Qingnian’s cultivation of the supernatural arts was already a violation of the Heaven’s Might, and was forbidden by Heaven and Earth.

Boom.

A ma*sive amount of Hao Rang Qi poured into the Great Wei Imperial Palace, and a booming sound was heard from between heaven and earth.

Xu Qingnian’s voice reached every inch of the Great Wei Dynasty.

People were shocked and did not dare to detail that Xu Qingnian was going to enter the sub-sage realm today.

By careful calculation, it had only been two years since Xu Qingnian had entered the Confucian Way.

Two years of sub-sainthood.

This was simply incredible. Previously, the Great Wei Palace of Literature had said that Xu Qingnian could become a half-saint within ten years, and a sub-saint within his lifetime.

But what was not expected was that in just two years, Xu Qingnian had entered the Sub-Sage realm.

This was unbelievable.

It was unbelievable.

“You are also worthy of becoming a sub-saint?”

“You cultivate foreign arts, scourge the country and the people, and brutalise the world’s living beings, if you you could enter the Sub-Sage, wouldn’t it be an injustice to the Heavenly Dao?”

“My King Chaoyang, today, with the sword of the Five Great Sacred Wills, I will behead you.”

However, after Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out, the only one whose expression remained unchanged was Wang Chaoyang.

He stood with his hands folded as he spoke words that changed heaven and earth.

In the next moment, that booming sound resounded once again, and the five great saints’ virtual shadows became more and more real.

Soon after, the Zhu saint’s virtual shadow coalesced into a sword of heaven and earth, spanning everything and piercing through nothingness as it slashed down directly towards Xu Qingnian.

The sword of holy intent was unstoppable.

Xu Qingnian did not have any change in his expression.

The Hao Ran Wen Zhong suddenly appeared and hung above his forehead, blocking the sword of the Vermilion Saint.

Boom boom boom.

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, but fortunately, the palace hall had been coated once by fireproof oil, and would not catch fire.

Only, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Hao Ran Wen Zhong could not hold up.

Under such an extreme attack, a holy weapon, could not stop the holy intent.

“Xu Qingnian, you cultivated a foreign art, brutalized the world’s beings, and played the world for fools, do you deserve to die?”

Wang Chaoyang continued to speak, gathering a second sword of holy intent, which was the shadow of a fourth-generation saint, and slashing down towards Xu Qingnian once again.

It was even more terrifying than before.

The entire palace hall roared, and in the midst of the ancestral shrine, the Great Ancestor’s Long Sword trembled in a clear faint, and at a critical moment, it would awaken to protect the Great Wei Emperor.

The Holy Will ruling was that direct.

Wang Chaoyang also understood that Xu Qingnian wanted to break through to the sub-sage realm and thus achieve balance.

But the question was, would he allow Xu Qingnian to break through to the sub-sage realm?

It was definitely not possible.

The second sword of holy intent cut through.

Xu Qingnian took a step across and arrived outside the palace.

The second sword was so terrifying, and if it was the third sword, the palace would collapse, and Xu Qingnian did not want to involve other innocent people.

Soon, as the second sword fell.

The Hao Ran Wen Zhong still appeared, but this time, it was accompanied by the rest of the Saint Weapons, surrounding Xu Qingnian.

The second sword was blocked.

This was a Holy Will ruling that Xu Qingnian could not block, and at the same time he had to survive this, so that he could truly draw on the power of heaven and earth.

He could then truly break through to the Sub-Sage realm.

Boom.

As the second sword fell, the auras of all the Saint Weapons declined, especially the Hao Ran Wen Zhong, which could not support itself.

Xu Qingnian could feel it, and he understood that these Saint Weapons could no longer withstand such a terrifying pressure.

At that moment, he did not say much and incorporated all the Saint Weapons into his body.

At that moment, the third sword fell without any hesitation.

The sword’s aura rushed into the sky, gathering a terrifying Hao Rang Qi and slashing down fiercely towards Xu Qingnian.

As this sword fell.

The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron appeared in front of Xu Qingnian.

It blocked the power of the sword.

Boom.

The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron collided with the Sword of Sacred Intent, erupting into a blazing light that drowned it all out.

Prince Huai Ning and the others all frowned when they saw this scene.

They had all invited the Sacred Will Ruling, but they had never expected that Xu Qingnian had actually withstood the first three swords with the help of the Sacred Weapon in succession.

Now that the last two swords were left, it was really hard to tell.

A look of worry was revealed in their eyes.

They were worried that Xu Qingnian would be able to survive this hurdle, but Wang Chaoyang’s face looked incomparably calm, and his eyes were full of confidence.

He did not care about the results of the first three swords, but rather the last one.

Boom.

The fourth sword fell.

For some reason, the power of this sword was much stronger than before, and although each sword was enhanced, the power of this sword was extremely terrifying.

A terrifying heavenly might filled the air.

The sword mane fell, slashing down towards Xu Qingnian.

Under the terrifying sword mane.

The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron made a roaring sound and was difficult to stop.

The good thing was that the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron had been transformed several times, otherwise, this sword would have been enough to crush the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.

The Dragon Cauldron evolved into a true dragon, blocking the terrifying sword Qi.

Roar.

The sound of the true dragon resounded, and a terrifying pressure came upon him.

Xu Qingnian stood beneath the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.

He felt the terrifying pressure.

Indeed, the pressure was terrifying, mainly because Wang Chaoyang had been recognised by Heaven and Earth.

Different from the sub-saints of the Great Wei Palace of Literature in general.

The opponent had sought trouble with himself many times, but in the end, the result was that he had not been recognised by Heaven and Earth.

But this time was different, one cultivated a different art, which could not be disputed, because one had acknowledged it, therefore heaven and earth had sensed it, and Wang Chaoyang mobilised the power of heaven and earth.

It was because, heaven and earth had sensed it, that they agreed to the Holy Will ruling.

If Xu Qingnian had not admitted it, it would have been extremely difficult for Wang Chaoyang to ask the Holy Will to rule on it.

Now that the Holy Will had revived, it could not be cancelled and Xu Qingnian would need to survive this difficulty on her own.

Boom.

In the end, the fourth Sword of Sacred Will came to an end.

The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron also looked decrepit, after all, the Dragon Cauldron had survived the fourth Sword of Sacred Will with great difficulty.

It was the Sword of Heaven and Earth.

Valley/span naturally.

In its place came the fifth sword.

But the fifth sword did not fall, but was brewing.

The entire Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature was imbuing the Great Sage’s shadow with Hao Rang Qi.

The aura was becoming more and more terrifying and frightening.

It was also at this moment that Wang Chaoyang’s voice rang out.

“Fourth sword, you no longer have any means.”

“The holy weapon, the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron, can no longer be used again, and the fifth sword contains a might that surpa*ses the previous four swords, and its might is the sum of all the powers of heaven and earth.”

“Xu Qingnian, today, this Saint will act for the Heaven and kill the evil demon.”

Wang Chaoyang’s voice rang out once again.

Xu Qingnian, who had carried the first four sword intents, did not care at all, and in contrast to the worries of Prince Huai Ning and the others, Wang Chaoyang looked very calm.

This was because he knew what the Holy Will Ruling represented and what it meant.

It was definitely not that simple.

Each of the five Sacred Wills represented a force of heaven and earth, and when Xu Qingnian had resisted the first sword of Sacred Will, then the second Sacred Will would be even stronger, and so on, until the fifth Sacred Will.

It will add the power of all the previous Holy Wills.

To be recognised by Heaven and Earth would mean that Xu Qingnian could be beheaded, that he had committed a heinous crime that Heaven and Earth could not tolerate.

With the help of the Hao Rang Qi, it is indeed possible to execute Xu Qingnian.

The Fifth Sword of Sacred Will could take Xu Qingnian’s life.

When Wang Chaoyang finished saying this.

Ji Ling’s voice also followed.

“Unbridled.”

“Wang Chaoyang, you are really bold.”

The Empress spoke out, she looked straight at Wang Chaoyang, among her eyes was a cold intent, also revealing a killing intent.

Facing the rebuke from the Empress of Wei, Wang Chaoyang did not panic, but arched his hand towards the Empress and said.

“Your Majesty, it is the duty of Confucianism to act for Heaven, so I hope that Your Majesty will not harm the people because of personal thoughts.”

Wang Chaoyang replied thus.

Not putting the imperial power in his eyes in the slightest, he was even more arrogant and domineering than the Great Wei Palace of Literature before.

Of course, this was the norm, after all, the Great Wei Wen Gong was still a person of the Great Wei in the end, and was already deeply rooted, if the Great Wei Wen Gong had not chosen to leave the Great Wei Dynasty.

It would not have ended so badly.

But Wang Chaoyang was different, he considered himself to be a descendant of the Great Sage and did not have any slight sense of belonging to the Great Wei Dynasty.

This was in the Great Wei Dynasty, shouting out to Your Majesty.

If he left the Great Wei Dynasty, perhaps Wang Chaoyang would have to address something else.

“Then I would like to see today, what kind of cards you have.”

“Pa*s on the word from me.”

“Gather the eight gates of the capital army, surround the three thousand great scholars, and break the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.”

“If there is the slightest damage to Xu Aiqing, I will make sure you die without a burial place.”

Ji Ling did not have any scruples either, things had come to this point, she did not need to be weighing power and strategy.

Whoever dared to provoke, would be killed.

When Ji Ling spoke.

In an instant, Wang Chaoyang’s face looked a little ugly.

He knew that Ji Ling was not joking.

He himself had a way to escape from Great Wei, but the problem was that the three thousand great Confucians could not escape, which was his strongest help.

With these three thousand great scholars, it would be very convenient for him to preach and receive his teachings in the future, if the three thousand great scholars died here.

If the three thousand Confucians died here, it would be very troublesome.

It would be extremely detrimental to himself.

“Your Majesty, if the devil kills the Confucians, the Great Wei’s national fortune will cease to exist, do you really want to go this far?”

Wang Chaoyang did not look too good as he looked at the empress and said so.

“If Great Wei loses Xu Aiqing, the fortunes of the country will also cease to exist.”

“Wang Chaoyang, I am giving you a chance.”

Ji Ling spoke up, her words were very direct and decisive. If Xu Qingnian was really damaged, the fortunes of Wei would be doomed to cease to exist.

What is this nagging?

In the face of the empress’s words, Wang Chaoyang clenched his fist, he was a little silent, hesitating and wavering.

But at that very moment.

Above the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.

The sword aura of the Great Sage suddenly burst out with an incomparable radiance, blazing terribly.

It rushed up to the clouds.

A terrifying holy intent swept across the entire capital of Great Wei, and then spread all the way.

It was the complete revival of the holy intent, the sword of the Great Sage, about to cut down.

“Go and invite the Great Wei First Grade to return, and today, behead the saint.”

At this moment, the Empress’s voice rang out.

Without any more nonsense, she directly issued a holy decree, inviting the Great Wei First Grade to return, to behead Wang Chaoyang.

However, Wang Chaoyang’s expression changed abruptly.

“Your Majesty.”

“This is not my holy will.”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

Wang Chaoyang spoke, and when he saw this scene, he was also a little surprised because he did not continue to regulate the power of heaven and earth.

According to reason, the last saint’s sword should not have fallen.

He was also a little flustered and looked slightly overwhelmed.

In reality, it did not make much sense to kill Xu Qingnian or not, he had come today with other plans, he wanted to make a deal.

He wanted to make a deal with the empress.

The bargaining chip for this deal was Xu Qingnian, and it should all be under control.

Xu Qingnian had withstood the first four swords, as he had expected.

It was only natural that Xu Qingnian would not be able to resist the last sword, but he had a sense of proportion and would deliberately stop at this point to talk about the deal with the empress.

But what he did not expect was that the Fifth Sword would be uncontrollable and awaken itself.

The holy intent was endless.

It truly surpa*sed the will of the previous four saints, for it was the will of a great saint and the power of all the previous forces of heaven and earth added and condensed.

The mere wisp of it makes one feel suffocated and frightened.

A terrifying heavenly might pervades.

It was disturbing, but Wang Chaoyang was explaining that it had nothing to do with him.

For a moment, the court frowned, and even the empress could not help but frown, they did not understand what Wang Chaoyang meant by these words.

It had nothing to do with him?

Apart from Wang Chaoyang, who else in the room was able to control the power of heaven and earth?

Was it another First Grade?

This was impossible, even if a First Grade had interfered, it would not be able to influence the sage’s will.

For a moment, everyone was curious.

But suddenly, Wang Chaoyang’s voice rang out again.

“It’s Xu Qingnian.”

“He was the one who triggered the saint’s intent on his own.”

As Wang Chaoyang’s voice rang out, the crowd present was once again stunned.

“Shouren invoked the holy intent by himself?”

“Wang Chaoyang, you mustn’t be talking nonsense here.”

“How could Xu Sheng possibly induce the holy intent by himself?”

“This is impossible.”

In the courtroom, all the people did not believe that Xu Qingnian had invoked the Holy Will on his own.

But at that very moment.

Outside the main hall.

Xu Qingnian stood with his hands folded as he looked at the sword of holy intent, and then slowly spoke.

“Heaven and Earth Discerning Heart.”

The moment the voice rang out, the Great Sage’s Sword, transforming into a matchless force, came crashing down directly.

Boom boom boom.

At this moment, the entire Kyoto quaked and shook, and the blazing sword aura incomparably drowned everything.

Everyone was unable to open their eyes.

Wang Chaoyang was even dumbfounded as he watched it all.

He had guessed that it was Xu Qingnian who had triggered the holy intent, but it was only a guess. The moment Xu Qingnian actually triggered the holy intent, he was completely frozen.

Xu Qingnian was simply insane.

Wasn’t she afraid of death?

The Holy Intent of a Great Sage, even a Sage would find it difficult to stop it.

Moreover, Xu Qingnian had actually cultivated a foreign art.

Boom boom boom.

The terrifying power of heaven and earth fell down, and a huge amount of holy intent fell into Xu Qingnian’s body.

It cleared away all evil Qi.

Xu Qingnian was not seeking death when he took the initiative to draw down the power of heaven and earth.

On the contrary, he was looking for a chance of life and a chance to enter the Sublime Sage.

There was the mark of the Three Demon Gods in his own body.

Using conventional means, it was impossible to eradicate it.

That was why Xu Qingnian had resorted to the power of heaven and earth to eradicate the Three Demon Marks within his body.

That was why he had taken the initiative to allow the Great Sage’s sword intent to fall.

If he succeeded, the Three Demon Seals would simply disappear.

But if he failed, he would not die, because with the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature inside him, he would not be harmed in any way.

Moreover, this was also a self-evidence.

Wang Chaoyang and the others were bashing themselves on the grounds of cultivating a different art.

This was something that could not be disputed, as one had indeed cultivated a supernatural art.

One had to give an explanation to the world.

Right now, the Holy Will Ruling that Wang Chaoyang had invited to help him give an explanation to the people of the world.

The Sacred Will Ruling could precisely give an explanation to the people of the world.

Boom!

The Holy Will entered his body and instantly collided with the Three Devil Marks, erupting into a terrifying turmoil within his body.

Poof.

Xu Qingnian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The blood was black and suffused with demonic Qi.

It had an effect.

Xu Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Xu Qingnian’s expression changed.

It was because the Three Devil Marks had erupted.

Boom.

A terrifying demonic aura filled out.

It gave the impression of clearing demonic Qi.

And within Xu Qingnian’s body, a holy seal also coalesced.

The Seal of Sub-Saints.
