"Not from our universe's forces? Expanding everywhere?"

Taixu Emperor showed a look of concern, "Daoist, do you know any other information so I can prepare early?"

"I don't know much."

Shura Emperor said, "In the Infinite Great Universe (Xuantai Universe), millions of worlds are under the governance of the Bright God Court, and the cultivation system here greatly differs from ours. It is based on the power of faith."

"Faith?"

"Yes."

Shura Emperor nodded, "In the entire universe, the majority of cultivators worship the Bright God Emperor. The Bright God Emperor grants Infinite Divine Light, planting it in the believers' hearts to aid them in elevating their realms and increasing their strength."

"To believe in Bright God Emperor, one just needs a sincere heart and a firm and resolute belief, then one can cultivate using the Infinite Divine Light and make rapid progress in cultivation and strength."

"That sounds pretty good about the Bright God Emperor."

Xuanqing, who was feeding a squirrel, turned to look at Shura Emperor, "Out of sight, out of mind. As a God, giving back seriously to faithful believers doesn't seem wrong."

"Xuan's words are not wrong." Taixu Emperor said, "But I think, cultivating with this Infinite Divine Light, might there be other adverse effects?"

Putting one's heart and belief in someone else doesn't seem like a proper way of cultivation.

"Correct."

Shura Emperor nodded, "Believing in the Bright God Emperor and cultivating with the Infinite Divine Light brings many benefits, but after all, it is an external object."

"In the Infinite Universe, cultivators emphasize the external over the internal. Their understanding of the Great Dao, the supreme Laws, is not thorough enough, somewhat knowing the phenomena but not the underlying reasons."

"And once the Infinite Divine Light is planted in one's heart, one's possessions, life, and achievements are all tied to someone else."

"No need for the Bright God Emperor to act, even a Divine Envoy or Divine Servant a rank higher than you, just by holding the Bright God Banner, can knock down a rebellious cultivator from the clouds and reduce them to a mundane being. Controlling your life and death isn't much harder than crushing an ant."

Shura Emperor continued: "If the Bright God Court were just doing this, it would actually be of no concern to us."

"They walk their path, we walk ours, and never infringe upon each other."

"The problem lies here, the Infinite Universe not only worships the Bright God Emperor themselves but also excels in converting others, forcing others to join their faith system!"

"As expected!"

Taixu Emperor felt heavy-hearted, he had guessed the reason behind the Bright God Court's invasion of other worlds just by hearing this cultivation system leveraging external objects.

"However, there's also some good news."

Shura Emperor spoke, "The Bright God Court is not without adversaries, their expansion has been hindered by other forces."

"Nowadays, most of their combat power is targeted towards Jiuyou."

"Jiuyou?" Xuanqing blinked.

[Heavenly Venerate Growth System]notification, Shura God Child was once trapped in the minor Underworld, nearly captured by the Reincarnation Saint King Heavenly Venerate.

"Yes, Jiuyou."

Shura Emperor spoke, "Last time to save my son, I forcefully intruded into Jiuyou and unexpectedly made acquaintance with the Reincarnation Saint King Heavenly Venerate."

"He cordially invited me to join the Jiuyou camp to resist the Divine Emperor, and most of the information about the Bright God Court was also informed by him."

"So it is!" Taixu Emperor nodded.

"Alas, since my son's disappearance is linked to the Bright God Court, we might really have to cooperate with Jiuyou this time." Shura Emperor was full of worry, concerned about Shura God Child while somewhat resistant to Jiuyou.

After all, though he said he made an unexpected acquaintance with the Reincarnation Saint King, who would want to deal with a Heavenly Venerate known for capturing children?

This Jiuyou World is probably not any decent power.

"Can you show me the Summoning Array that Shura God Child studied before? Maybe I can summon him back." Xuanqing said so.

"Really?" Shura Emperor was skeptical.

Taixu Emperor nodded: "Xuan never lies."

"Good!"

With an attitude of giving it a try, Shura Emperor brought out the research manual of Shura God Child.

[Suspected product of an unprincipled Dao Fruit, this is truly a dangerous manual! It's filled with imaginative ideas, but sadly are influenced by the Qi Fortune of the owner, most of these research findings often bring disasters to those who try to learn them.]

Heavenly Venerate Growth System commented on Ming River's research manual.

"Bringing disaster to humanoid beings?"

Xuanqing looked at the system's comment, hesitating.

Creak creak~~

The squirrel was intently nibbling on a pine cone.

Such a "huge" noise caught the attention of Xuanqing.

Xuanqing's eyes lit up: "Raise a squirrel for a thousand days, use it for a moment!"

Xuanqing casually handed the manual to the squirrel: "Little Song, it's your turn to learn!"

"You're not human-shaped, so you shouldn't have any bad luck befalling you!"

The squirrel looked at the manual and reached out a hand.

"Five pine cones? No problem!" Xuanqing readily agreed.

~~~~

In the Bright God Court, within the Dan Realm.

The mansion of Bishui God King.

A red lotus was floating in the air, with Ming River holding the Killing Sword, sitting on the Lotus Platform with a stern face.

"Shen Ni, where did you catch this little one?"

Mutual Gaze Corpse looked at [Bishui God King] Shen Ni.

"Summoned through a Summoning Array."

Shen Ni stared at the Karma Fire Red Lotus-protected Ming River and smiled: "This kid set up a Summoning Array not long ago, and somehow ended up summoning me over!"

"Is that so?"

Mutual Gaze Corpse looked at Ming River, "What a fate!"

"What do you plan to do with him? Sacrifice him to the Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate in exchange for the Bright God Banner, or keep him for yourself to eat?"

"Though I, Shen Ni, am ruthless, I don't eat children!" Shen Ni corrected.

"Just consider it a Dao Fruit, how could eating a Dao Fruit be likened to eating children?"

Seeing Shen Ni frown, Mutual Gaze Corpse shrugged indifferently: "Then take it for sacrifice, and let's keep the Spiritual Treasure for ourselves."

"Sacrifice might not be the best approach."

Shen Ni denied the suggestion: "I've recently noticed an issue, although the Bright God Emperor rules the Bright God Court, it seems that powerhouses like the Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate, Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate, and others do not actually worship the Bright God Emperor."

The Bright God Court is ruled by the Divine Emperor, under whom are the Fire Refining Dan Realm, Zhu Ling Du Ming, Bao Hua Yuan Man, Fa Qiao Da Du - the four great Heavenly Venerates.

Shen Ni was now serving under the Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate, having become the Bishui God King.

"What's the matter with that, those few practitioners in the Divine Court are known to take orders but not announcements, it's probably normal for them to not worship him since the Bright God Emperor brought them together as collaborators."

Mutual Gaze Corpse drew out a long halberd, gesturing with it around the Karma Fire Red Lotus as if choosing an angle to strike.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken."

Shen Ni's eyes flickered: "Those Heavenly Venerates have their own entities of worship!"

"Who?" Mutual Gaze Corpse turned his head.

"I don't know yet."

Shen Ni shook his head: "But one thing I'm sure of is, their relationship with the Bright God Emperor seems more like a form of checks and balances rather than cooperation."

"Oh?" Mutual Gaze Corpse turned around.

"Think about the time we went to attack the Jiuyou."

Shen Ni recalled: "The Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate watched as the Divine Court Envoys were sent to their deaths one after another, only letting us, the Divine Kings, enter the fray when the opportune moment arrived."

"And the Fa Qiao Da Du Heavenly Venerate also secretly tripped us up."

Mutual Gaze Corpse thought for a moment, then nodded: "So it seems, this Infinite Universe, seems to have deep waters indeed!"

"Hehe, who could say otherwise," laughed Shen Ni.

"Bright Daoist companion is presumably just the nominal Divine Emperor."

"Behind the scenes, there's indeed a bigger fish!"

Upon arriving in the Infinite Universe, Shen Ni realized that Chaos Demon God seemed to be more cunning than he had imagined.

Not only did it partner up to form the Bright God Court, but another unspeakable entity also managed to emerge successfully.

"Our gains this time might be bigger than anticipated!"
