Chapter 735: The Daoist Celestials Gather, Do I Have The Right To Vote Too?

"What's going on?"

"Why is such a change occurring in the Central Heaven Daoist Ground?!"

"What the hell did Chu Kuangren do?"

"Doesn't matter. Let's get the Heavenly Imperials out first."

The Daoist Celestials were unsure of what was happening.

As such, they swiftly went in to escort the Heavenly Imperials out, and soon, the only person remaining in the Daoist Ground was Chu Kuangren.

He was sitting in the Daoist Grounds, surrounded by Daoist patterns, which resonated with his Heavenly Punishment Daoist Patterns. Soon, the Daoist patterns showed indications of merging together.

The Daoist Celestials were astounded.

They had personally studied the Daoist patterns of this realm before as an attempt to take control of the Central Heaven Daoist Ground. However, in their countless years of efforts, they had yet to see results.

Now, Chu Kuangren was merging the Daoist patterns with his.

"No way. If this continues, he will be taking the entire Central Heaven Daoist Ground with him."

"He's stealing the power from the Central Heaven Daoist Ground!"

"How is he doing it?"

The Daoist Celestials discussed frantically.

The Central Heaven Daoist Ground was one of the most important secret realms of Firmament Star. Moreover, it was also the Daoist Celestials' way of rewarding the Heavenly Imperials.

It would be a huge loss if Chu Kuangren was to take it all for himself.

"We must stop him."

"But if the Central Heaven Daoist Ground's Daoist patterns are merging with Chu Kuangren's Heavenly Punishment Daoist Patterns, it may well be the manifestation of a powerful fate. Will it be appropriate for us to intercept?"

"We can't deliberate on this further. We're about to lose the Central Heaven Daoist Ground soon."

"Chu Kuangren is the first cultivator in Firmament Star's history to possess a Prominent-grade Emperor Core. With the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Patterns in his hands, what if our interruption makes him resent us?"

Another Daoist Celestial said.

Chu Kuangren's potential was far too strong.

If he was allowed to develop further, he may well be the person to determine the fate of the Extraterritorial Battlefield and finish this endless war.

If the Daoist Celestials were to make an enemy out of Chu Kuangren, it would not be a beneficial situation for everyone.

"Ugh, why does this b*stard have to create such a mess?!"

A Daoist Celestial complained.

"Contact the rest and consult their opinions."

"Let's get the Heavenly Imperials away first."

...

Imperial Sky Ox, Hu Fei, and the rest felt that the entire incident was all too surreal.

"I've long heard about Chu Kuangren's tendency to create surprises. Now, I've finally seen it with my own eyes."

"What did he do to provoke such a reaction from the Daoist Ground?"

Amid the Heavenly Imperials' discussion, a Daoist Celestial announced, "To all Heavenly Imperials, please vacate this place and retreat from Central Heaven Asteroid."

The Heavenly Imperials looked at one another. They knew that the Daoist Celestials were planning to do something about Chu Kuangren.

However, this was not their game to play.

The Heavenly Imperial knew just how important the Central Heaven Daoist Ground was to the Daoist Celestials. They would not be surprised if the Daoist Celestials would sever their ties with Chu Kuangren just for this realm.

"Brother Chu is the future pillar of the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Please show mercy in your decisions, Daoist Celestials."

Hu Fei ground her teeth and said.

Her abrupt remarks surprised the other cultivators. They did not expect her to plead for Chu Kuangren's mercy.

"Heh, you sly fox. You've taken an interest in him, haven't you?" Imperial Sky Ox said. Then, he turned to the Daoist Celestials and continued, "The fox is right. Brother Chu's talents will make him an exceptional force to reckon with in the Extraterritorial Battlefield. May you show him mercy during your deliberation."

The rest merely remained silent.

After a brief moment of silence, a Daoist Celestial said, "We have our own judgment to make. Please leave this area."

The Heavenly Imperials took one last glance at Chu Kuangren and left the realm.

Soon.

Twenty-four figures appeared in the void.

These were the twenty-four Daoist Celestials of Firmament Star. They were the ones responsible for the Firmament Star's fate.

"It seems like the Central Heaven Daoist Ground is reacting very strangely."

"Indeed. It's merging with his Daoist patterns. If we delay any further, the entire Central Heaven Daoist Ground will either switch ownership or be destroyed."

"Heh, what do you mean switch ownership? The Central Heaven Daoist Ground has never belonged to anyone in the first place."

"Enough. So what should we do now? It's time we make a call."

The Daoist Celestial had assessed Chu Kuangren's situation before discussing this issue.

All eyes were now on three members at the table.

They were Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, Transcendental Daoist Celestial, and Lunar Daoist Celestial. They were the strongest of all twenty-four Daoist Celestials.

"The Central Heaven Daoist Ground must be preserved at all cost. Stop him."

A man in majestic gold robes said. He was the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial.

The rest were taken by surprise.

They did not expect him to make a decision so swiftly.

"Heh, I thought you'd at least pretend to contemplate for a moment. It looks like you're eager to kill him off."

A light chuckle aroused from the side.

It was the Transcendental Daoist Celestial. He was a suave, handsome man who was dressed in a set of white clothes.

"We must maintain control over the Central Heaven Daoist Ground."

The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said.

"You sure make it sound honorable, don't you? I bet you just want to kill Chu Kuangren because of his association with the Chaos Daoist Celestial. Oh, my brother, aren't you a petty one!"

The Transcendental Daoist Celestial sneered.

He looked at Chu Kuangren and said, "Chu Kuangren's potential is not to be underestimated. He'll be the one who determines the fate of this war. I won't allow anyone to hurt him, not when I'm around."

"Do you prefer to sit by and watch as the Central Heaven Daoist Ground collapses into nothing?"

"Heh, you're asking me to pick between the Central Heaven Daoist Ground and a person who can determine the outcome of this war? Do you really need me to teach you common sense?"

"You don't know what will happen in the future for sure. Who knows if he'll survive until then? Do you know how many sky-prides have fallen throughout history?" said the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial.

"As long as you don't mess around, he will ascend into the Daoist Celestial Realm under my care," said the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.

"In that case, I call a vote."

The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said.

The Transcendental Daoist Celestial felt his heart sink.

He looked over to the Lunar Daoist Celestial.

After a brief moment of silence, she said, "This matter concerns the humans. The beast tribes will maintain their neutrality."

The Lunar Daoist Celestials and three other beastly members decided to forfeit their votes.

There were now twenty Daoist Celestials left to decide on a verdict.

"Now, a show of hands for those who object to interrupting Chu Kuangren."

The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said.

Apart from the Transcendental Daoist Celestial, only a few raised their hands. The rest lowered their heads almost in embarrassment.

The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial was the strongest amongst all of them, so most of the Daoist Celestials looked up to him as their leader.

"Alright, the result is clear. We shall not lose the Central Heaven Daoist Ground. Now, let's send someone in to interrupt his flow."

The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said.

Just then, a cold, pristine voice echoed throughout the scene. "Oh, are you calling a vote? I wonder if I have the right to vote too?"
