Chapter 859 -267: That Princely Heir, Can I Be Busy First? (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Cheng Guang had a puzzled look on his face, as he had indeed heard the term “Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones” before.
Upon hearing the words “Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones,” he was instantly stunned.
He didn’t know what “Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones” truly meant.
Cheng Guang did not understand, but the Great Tang Emperor and Ning Qianxue standing beside him did.
The Great Tang Emperor, surprised, couldn’t help but whisper in a low voice, “You actually want the Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones? Haven’t they been extinct for a long time?”
“Ever since there were issues with spiritual cultivation, all the Immortals and Deities with Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones had them destroyed…”
Ning Qianxue also nodded slightly; she had once possessed some Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones as well, but ever since there were problems with cultivation, what was once greatly beneficial for cultivation became a source of immense terror.
All the Immortals and Deities had excised the Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones from their bodies, daring not to keep them.
As a result, the Celestial Gods began to fall into the mundane world.
“Does the Jade Emperor still have Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones on him?”
“Now that the Heavenly Dao has revived, if there are no more issues with cultivation, then Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones are indeed greatly beneficial for cultivation.”
Ning Qianxue murmured to herself.
Heavenly Machine Elder, having heard the conversation between Ning Qianxue and the Great Tang Emperor, slightly smiled and said, “Yes, Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones are present on the Jade Emperor.”
“The Jade Emperor is the sovereign of the Heavenly Court, and he possesses the most primitive of the Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones.”
“This most original source of Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones was not tainted by the strange aura back then and has been preserved to this day.”
“After the revival of the Heavenly Dao, the Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones can also exhibit their original effects.”
“Now, apart from the Jade Emperor, all the Immortals and Deities are devoid of Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones; if we were to obtain them, even if not as Celestial Gods, we would be comparable to them.”
Heavenly Machine Elder spoke, smiling while talking, his face involuntarily radiating a bit of confidence.
With Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones, one could be called an Immortal or Deity.
And those who were stripped of their Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones, even if they bore the name of Celestial Gods, could not truly be called genuine Immortals and Deities.
Cheng Guang suddenly thought of something mentioned in the system task alert.
The existence of the Heavenly Court has always been a closely guarded secret, and most people in the world, whose cultivation and strength have not reached a certain level, are unaware of the Celestial Gods.
Nor could Cheng Guang find the figure of the Jade Emperor within the system task hints.
Could it be…
That the future Heavenly Court had changed…
No longer controlled by the Celestial Gods.
Nor controlled by the Jade Emperor.
But rather…
Controlled by Heavenly Machine Elder, Jiang Luojing, and others…
The current state of the Celestial Gods.
What about the Buddha Ancestor?
Could the Buddha Ancestor be in a similar situation?
Thinking of this, Cheng Guang felt his thoughts become incredibly chaotic.
But regardless,
The current situation in the world had become very clear.
To Cheng Guang, the Heavenly Court no longer posed much of a threat.
The Jade Emperor looked as if he was on the verge of death, and Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, the first war god of the Heavenly Court, had been subdued by Cheng Guang.
In the entire Heavenly Court, there were quite a few good friends of Cheng Guang.
At a glance, there were almost no worthy adversaries.
Except for…
The Buddha Sect.
The Buddha Sect, which currently had no presence, might turn out to be Cheng Guang’s greatest enemy.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
At this moment, Heavenly Machine Elder also spoke, “Princely Heir.”
“The most original Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones in the Jade Emperor, although divisible, require us to practice a first-come, first-served policy.”
“We can give the Princely Heir a larger share, but the lion’s share must go to us.”
“In order to calculate the place of the Jade Emperor’s awakening and then set up our plan to trap the Jade Emperor here, we too have expended a great deal of effort and resources.”
Although the tone of Heavenly Machine Elder seemed quite calm, upon closer listening, one could clearly sense a slight tone of capitulation.
It was obvious that the other party did not want to cause any major conflict with Cheng Guang’s side.
But he was also reluctant to let go of his own earlier efforts.
Even if they could not eat as much as before, they still wanted the lion’s share.
The leftovers could then be divided among the others.
Cheng Guang looked at Heavenly Machine Elder’s demeanor and smiled.
He did not put forth any objections.
Cheng Guang simply nodded.
“Sure.”
Cheng Guang nodded in agreement.
It was Heavenly Machine Elder who was taken aback.
He really hadn’t expected Cheng Guang, the Duke of the State’s Heir, to agree so readily.
After all,
this concerned Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones.
These could be compared to the Fate of the Heavenly Dao.
Cheng Guang, the Duke of the State’s Heir, was so decisive to renounce the major share and simply agree to his allocation plan?
Heavenly Machine Elder was a bit perplexed.
If it were him, he probably would never have been as generous as Cheng Guang was now.

Was this all an act?
Heavenly Machine Elder pondered.
Then, he sized up Cheng Guang several times.
He found Cheng Guang’s gaze straightforward, without a hint of falsehood or pretense.
Quite generous.
This meant that Cheng Guang truly felt this way, without any intention of claiming the larger share.
Heavenly Machine Elder contemplated for a moment and probably understood something, then smilingly said, “In that case, Princely Heir, please wait a moment.”
“The Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones on this Jade Emperor’s body will take some time to be completely extracted.”
In Heavenly Machine Elder’s view,
Cheng Guang, perhaps, acknowledged their power, which was why he could so readily forgo the major share.
It made sense.
Although Cheng Guang, the Duke of the State’s Heir, had many strong individuals on his side, Heavenly Machine Elder’s group was not to be underestimated either.
If it really came to a fight, it’s not to say who would definitely win, but surely neither side would emerge unscathed.
Better to just let them take the lion’s share.
Though it meant letting Heavenly Machine Elder himself get the lion’s share,
Cheng Guang, the Duke of the State’s Heir, definitely didn’t lose out since they could get a share of the Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones without any sacrifice.
Heavenly Machine Elder, thinking this, felt slightly relieved.
“Then, Princely Heir, may I be excused?”
Cheng Guang nodded again.
After speaking, Heavenly Machine Elder moved to the Jade Emperor’s side and continued his spellcasting.
Mysterious light emanated from Heavenly Machine Elder’s fingertips, falling upon the Jade Emperor.
Every time a light emerged from Heavenly Machine Elder’s hand and touched the Jade Emperor, his facial expression became increasingly grim, and he trembled sporadically.
Pain occasionally surged across his face.
Though the Jade Emperor looked extremely painful, he did not utter a single groan.
From this, it could be seen that the Jade Emperor was quite tough.
This earned Cheng Guang’s respect.
As time passed,
more and more mysterious light appeared on the Jade Emperor.
His entire body, including his limbs and bones, began to tremble, sparkling with a ginseng-like light vein.
The light vein emerged from the Jade Emperor’s body,
slowly pulling out much like a tree being uprooted.
At this time,
the Jade Emperor could no longer maintain his tough demeanor and let out a series of suppressed agonizing roars.
“Damn it!!!”
“You truly deserve to die!!!”
The Jade Emperor yelled loudly.
The entire Divine Temple trembled under the Jade Emperor’s roaring.
Despite the loudness of the Jade Emperor’s roar, nobody paid any attention.
In a brief moment,
the Jade Emperor could no longer scream.
With a “puff” sound,
the light vein representing the Immortal Roots and Daoist Bones was instantly pulled out, separating from the Jade Emperor’s body.
At the same time, the Jade Emperor spewed out a fountain-like stream of fresh blood!
The blood was incredibly red!
…
