Chapter 1330: The Path of Cultivation (2)
"You believe Ming Jian can thwart the Heavenly Imperator?" the Blood Emperor asked skeptically. "If the Heavenly Imperator is the biggest concern, why not join the Eldritch Court instead?"
"Joining the Eldritch Court would mean true submission," the Dream Emperor replied, shaking his head. "Besides, what difference would that make? Could Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu arrive in time to save us at critical moments?
"Only Ming Jian can help us. As the Spacetime Dao Master wielding a Xuanhuang Dao Treasure, his ability to traverse spacetime remains unmatched." The Dream Emperor's tone grew solemn. "He already possesses titan-level strength, and given time, he might even rival the Heavenly Imperator."
The Blood Emperor acknowledged this with a slight nod, then responded helplessly, "That may be so, but we can't even reach him now."
"Let's wait," the Dream Emperor counseled patiently. "It hasn't been that long."
...
Time flowed like an endless river, carrying all in its current.
After traversing the vast cosmic sea for several centuries, Wu Yuan, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, and the others finally returned to the Eldritch Progenitor Hall. Even among Dao Zenithels, a journey at this pace was remarkably swift.
Soon after their arrival, two banquets were held simultaneously: one within the Eldritch Progenitor Hall of the cosmic sea, the other throughout the Eldritch Court Voidrealm. Both celebrated Wu Yuan becoming the fourth leader-level powerhouse of the Eldritch Court.
The celebration at the Eldritch Progenitor Hall was intimate, yet its guest list was prestigious, with barely thirty Dao Zenithels in attendance. Here, Wu Yuan met every Dao Zenithel of the Eldritch Court, greeting each one in turn. This marked his true induction into the highest echelon of the Eldritch Court, establishing him as one of its four leaders, his strength and status now surpassing even Dao Zenithel Fu You.
In contrast, the festivities within the Eldritch Court Voidrealm unfolded on a magnificent scale. Nearly every eternal powerhouse of the entire Eldritch Court participated, along with hundreds of thousands of Saints and Perennials. This grand celebration elevated Wu Yuan's reputation throughout the Eldritch Court to unprecedented heights.
After the celebrations concluded, Wu Yuan's name echoed through the various Eternal Realms, Saint Realms, and countless spacetimes in the universes belonging to the Eldritch Court.
