I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

"Amitabha. Compared to the bitter cold of the Western Continent, this place is indeed far more suitable for spreading the Buddhist Technique."

"For such an important ceremony, the Jade Emperor didn’t even show himself. It seems he’s either already dead or in extremely poor health!"

"No matter what, we must test the waters today. If we can determine the truth of the situation, we’ll be able to secure a spot for ascension when the great cataclysm of Heaven and Earth arrives."

The Cultivators from the Outer Continents conversed through voice transmissions, restless and eager to make their move.

They had come here, of course, with a mission.

Their goal was to see if the Jade Emperor was truly dead!

If he was, then a dynasty without even a Saint King Realm expert could no longer be allowed to rule an entire continent.

The supreme factions of their Three Continents would have every reason to carve up the Southern Continent.

Of course, the most important prize was the Southern Continent’s Underworld!

It was directly related to the quotas for ascension when the great cataclysm of Heaven and Earth arrived in nine hundred years.

「A short while later.」

Under the watchful eyes of all present.

Li Tianhe successfully completed the heaven-worshipping ceremony.

He let out a soft sigh of relief.

For this day.

He had prepared for a full sixty years.

Even as a Fate-Knowing Realm Cultivator, he had nearly buckled under the strain of the ceremony.

Fortunately, everything had been completed without a hitch.

For the next hundred years.

The entire Southern Continent would enjoy favorable winds and timely rains.

The Spirituality between Heaven and Earth would also grow several times richer!

In this way, more and more outstanding talents would be born.

Allowing the Great Li Dynasty to grow ever more prosperous!

"It is my greatest honor that you have all traveled from the Outer Continents to observe this ceremony. I have prepared a banquet to host you. Please, accompany me to the Celestial Palace!"

Li Tianhe looked at the Cultivators from the Outer Continents who had come to observe.

Although he had sent invitations to the supreme factions of the various continents, he had not done as Wang Xiao previously suggested.

He hadn’t issued an imperial edict demanding that the experts beyond the Fate-Knowing Realm from those supreme factions come and pay their respects!

The future Destiny of the Great Li Dynasty was at stake.

He did not dare to gamble!

If Wang Xiao failed to defeat the titans of the various continents’ supreme factions, it would be their Great Li Dynasty that faced annihilation.

Hearing this, the group of Cultivators did not move. Instead, they gazed at Li Tianhe with keen interest.

Li Tianhe saw their expressions, and his eyes glinted slightly as he spoke:

"Everyone, is there some other matter?!"

Zheng Xuan put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha:

"Amitabha. In truth, besides coming to observe the ceremony, we have also brought a decree from our patriarch."

Li Tianhe said:

"What decree? You may show it to me."

Zheng Xuan shook his head:

"The patriarch’s orders are that this decree can only be handed to a Saint King Realm Cultivator."

"I wonder where the Jade Emperor is? We must ask Your Majesty to have the Jade Emperor come out so we can hand over the decree to him."

Hearing this, Li Tianhe knew these people had ill intentions. His heart sank, but his expression remained impassive:

"My father, the emperor, is in secluded Cultivation and will likely be unable to receive your patriarch’s decree. I hope you can all understand."

Zheng Xuan’s tone was calm:

"What are we to do? Before we departed, our patriarch specifically instructed us to deliver the decree to the Jade Emperor in person. Otherwise, I’m afraid we will be punished upon our return."

The other Cultivators heard this and chimed in as well.

"Indeed, Human Emperor. We have spent at least a hundred years on this journey. You can’t just let us return empty-handed."

"If we go back like this, I fear we won’t be able to report back satisfactorily."

"For such a grand event as the heaven-worshipping ceremony, for the Jade Emperor to still be in seclusion... it’s a bit difficult to justify."

Li Tianhe listened to their thinly veiled provocations. Despite his excellent self-control, his expression couldn’t help but darken:

"When my father enters seclusion and when he emerges is not for any of you to question! If you do not wish to attend the banquet, then I will not see you off. You may return to wherever you came from!"

He knew that if he didn’t act forcefully at this moment...

They really might see him as a pushover and take a mile if he gave an inch!

Zheng Xuan spoke up:

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. We have come from thousands of miles away and truly do not wish to return like this. This humble monk has a suggestion, I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to hear it."

Li Tianhe narrowed his eyes:

"Speak."

Zheng Xuan said:

"Before sending us, our patriarch anticipated that the Jade Emperor might be in seclusion. Therefore, he also said that if the Jade Emperor was in seclusion, we should take the decree to the Underworld and place it there!"

"So, we must ask Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, to open the passage to the Underworld and allow us to place the decree inside."

Li Tianhe finally couldn’t hold back his fury and roared:

"Insolence! You should all be well aware of the Underworld’s importance to every continent. To enter the Underworld before one’s lifespan is up is undoubtedly to sever the lifeforce of a continent. Do you think I could possibly agree to that?!"

Zheng Xuan’s expression didn’t change:

"Amitabha. The Buddhist Technique is boundless; so-called rules are all flexible. If Your Majesty is unwilling, then our only choice is to activate the decree and directly ask our patriarch to descend with his Divine Techniques and take us to the Underworld!"

The energy around Li Tianhe’s body erupted violently:

"Good. Very good. It seems you’ve all colluded to test whether my father has truly passed away."

"Hmph. I’d like to see what abilities you possess that give you the audacity to act so presumptuously in my Great Li Dynasty!"

"If I don’t make you all give me an explanation today, then I am unworthy of being the Human Emperor!"

The moment his voice fell.

RUMBLE!

One after another, Fate-Knowing Realm Cultivators flew in from all directions, completely surrounding Zheng Xuan and the others.

Having reached his position, Li Tianhe was naturally not lacking in methods.

He had long suspected that these Cultivators from the Outer Continents would cause trouble.

Thus, he had laid his plans and arranged his forces well in advance, precisely to handle such conflicts.

Zheng Xuan and the others looked at the surrounding Fate-Knowing Realm experts, their expressions unchanging.

"Alas, Your Majesty, why must you do this? We come with good intentions. If the Great Li Dynasty has no Saint King Realm expert to hold the fort, guarding the Underworld alone is a heavy burden. We are willing to share Your Majesty’s troubles!"

"That’s right. Without a Saint King Realm expert suppressing the treasure in the Underworld, the Underworld will fall into chaos sooner or later. That will affect the other Three Continents, so we cannot simply stand by and do nothing!"

"It seems the Jade Emperor really is dead. Our only choice is to activate our patriarchs’ decrees!"

As they spoke, Zheng Xuan and the others all flipped their palms over, revealing a variety of items.

Among them were relics, a Demon Core, a Demon Hand, and a Talisman...

RUMBLE—

The moment these items appeared.

A vast power erupted and raged forth!

Immediately after.

One after another, phantom-like figures suddenly materialized behind Zheng Xuan and the others.

VMMMMM!

The instant these phantoms appeared.

Ripples visible to the naked eye suddenly spread outward.

These ripples were bizarre and possessed infinite power.

Anyone touched by these ripples was instantly rendered immobile.

’H-how is this possible?!’

Li Tianhe’s pupils shrank abruptly.

He found that, in that moment, he couldn’t even activate the River Map and Luo Book.

These phantoms before him had to be peerless titans who had surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm.

Moreover.

There were four of them!

Before these four peerless titans, any Fate-Knowing Realm expert was utterly powerless to resist.

A gap of this magnitude could no longer be bridged by numbers alone.

"We respectfully welcome our patriarchs!"

Zheng Xuan and the other Fate-Knowing Realm experts bowed deeply to the phantoms behind them.

This was the trump card that had given them the confidence to come to the Great Li Dynasty alone.

By relying on the treasures they carried, they could temporarily summon the power of their respective patriarchs.

Among the four figures, a Buddha clad in a Kasaya put his palms together and chanted his name:

"Amitabha. This humble one does not sense the aura of Li Mutian. It appears that Li Mutian is indeed dead!"

The other three figures couldn’t help but agree.

"In that case, let’s proceed as we originally discussed and re-divide the Southern Continent!"

"As for that Treasure Fragment in the Underworld, each of us will control it for three hundred years before the great cataclysm arrives."

"First, let’s dispose of these people. We can discuss the rest later!"

One of the figures, cloaked in black robes, raised a hand and waved it fiercely.

An endless black mist surged forth like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf Li Tianhe and all the other Fate-Knowing Realm experts.

However, at that very moment.

A golden radiance flashed.

The black mist instantly dissipated without a trace.

Following that.

A calm voice slowly echoed:

"Your Majesty, I told you long ago. If you are unwilling to make the Four Continents bow to a single master, the supreme factions of the other Three Continents will seek your destruction."

"Why not take this opportunity today to establish a Celestial Law and awe the Four Continents!"
