# Chapter 3671: Beneath Buzhou Mountain
The universe is vast, and even a trillion miles of void is merely a small corner.
The shocking battle that erupted at Haishi Rock Dock was only known to the most top-tier divine kings and divine sovereigns, and had not yet spread.
The sacred realm cultivators and heaven-mending realm gods of various worlds were currently shocked by the news coming from Kunlun Realm. Soon after, they gradually learned the cause and effect.
...
The Heavenly Court had moved to the star domain where the ancient civilization faction was located, standing at the forefront of the Starry Sky Defense Line. It floated beneath the starry sky like a continent, protected by the Heavenly River, which was one hundred and eight thousand miles wide.
The various ancient civilization great worlds were connected in a line with the Heavenly Court, slightly set back, forming a protective formation.
Merit Star had moved together with the Heavenly Court, suspended by the banks of the Heavenly River, just like the countless planets that formed the Heavenly River's embankment.
On the planet, the Merit Divine Temple stood majestically, radiating brilliant divine light.
Cultivators from all worlds who fought across the starry sky came and went from Merit Star like swarms of bees, either crossing with their physical bodies or piloting ships.
Ever since the "Heavenly Court Defense Line" and the "Thunder Clan's emergence," the star domain where the Starry Sky Battlefield was located had calmed down, making it difficult to see immeasurable-level battles. However, conflicts below the immeasurable level still existed.
The myriad heavens of both sides tacitly accepted this kind of struggle, using it to temper the new generation of cultivators.
At the same time, they were also competing for the remnants left on the battlefield.
Three gods with impressive auras exchanged their merit for treasures and walked out of the divine temple.
Among them, one ranked eighth among the ten great elders of the Space Divine Temple, named Zhuo Fang.
He wore a dark robe, appeared to be in his thirties, carried a war blade on his back, and stood within a five-colored space bubble.
"Elder Zhuo, aren't you planning to continue fighting in the ruins of the Nine Cang Civilization Great World? A god king fell there, and his divine source has yet to be found," said one of the gods with purple hair.
Zhuo Fang said, "You know what happened at the Space Divine Temple. There may be turmoil soon, so I need to rush back."
The purple-haired god said, "Elder Zhuo, why be so worried? The news I received is that Prince Lian has already intervened and stopped Empress Chi Yao. It seems the Heavenly Palace intends to let things settle and won't allow the gods of Kunlun Realm to create turmoil in the Heavenly Court."
Another god, a great demon god of the demon clan covered in white fur, said, "This matter is probably not that simple! I heard that Jie Tian has already arrived at the Heavenly Court and went directly to the Heavenly Palace."
"Your vision and insight are too narrow. What kind of figure is Jie Tian? How could he focus on the life and death of a junior in the divine realm? He went to the Heavenly Palace because of the Hongtian Arrow, pointing the spearhead directly at that descender of the Elf Clan!" said the purple-haired god.
The white-furred demon clan great god said, "The Elf Divine Temple has already announced to the outside world that the Hongtian Arrow was lost long ago and they don't know who has it. This matter has nothing to do with them, and they will also find a way to retrieve this lost divine artifact. Any discerning person can see that some dark force is trying to sow discord."
"What the Elf Divine Temple says may not necessarily be true. Don't forget, their grudge with Kunlun Realm runs deep! When that descender's cultivation recovers, who knows how she will settle accounts. Right now, they are just lying low!" said the purple-haired god.
The white-furred demon clan great god was startled: "That descender of the Elf Clan probably can't recover her cultivation, right? After all, she is a body-snatcher. If she really recovers, that would be terrible!"
"With her cultivation from her previous life, just unleashing all the power of her remnant soul, her combat power would reach who knows how high. Troubled times indeed!" said the purple-haired god.
"Shua!"
A message light talisman flew from the starry sky and landed in the hands of the white-furred demon clan great god.
After reading the content on the light talisman, his expression changed, and he looked at Zhuo Fang, saying, "There's news that Chi Xingtian has gone to the Space Divine Temple."
The purple-haired god said, "Chi Xingtian is notorious for being ruthless and merciless, like a battle maniac. Is he going to tear down the Space Divine Temple?"
Zhuo Fang also received a message light talisman and felt heavy-hearted, saying, "How would Chi Xingtian dare to oppose the Space Divine Temple alone? Behind this, it must be Jie Tian's intention. You underestimate how much Chi Kunlun means to Jie Tian!"
"Just now, Qiangu Nüdi and the Dragon Lord also spoke out, saying that if the Space Divine Temple does not hand over the murderer, they will personally visit. Kunlun Realm is using their power to pressure others!"
The white-furred demon clan great god and the purple-haired god looked at each other.
The Kunlun Realm of today was no longer the declining great world on its last legs that could be easily bullied and plundered. Now, even the dominant world of the Western Universe, "Paradise Realm," had to be wary of them.
Above the immeasurable level, the Dragon Lord and Qiangu Nüdi both had astonishing talent and boundless combat power. Especially the Dragon Lord, many gods speculated that he would soon have the strength to contend for the position of a heavenly lord.
As for Jie Tian, he stood too high and was already beyond their ability to fathom.
If the rumors were true, that Tai Shang had found a life-prolonging divine medicine, then Kunlun Realm's strength would grow even further. At that point, what right would Paradise Realm have to be the dominant world? Would the old case from one hundred thousand years ago be brought up again?
At this critical juncture, it was very normal for Paradise Realm to take action; they couldn't just sit and wait for death.
But for now, the Space Divine Temple was the one that had really stepped into big trouble!
"Fortunately, that killing god is at White Clothes Valley. Otherwise, given his crazy behavior back then, it would be strange if he didn't bloodbath the Space Divine Temple," said the purple-haired god.
Zhang Ruochen's purge of the same generation from the Paradise Realm faction in his youth had been repeatedly brought up and publicized in recent years. Many gods feared that as his cultivation grew deeper, he would commit even more brutal acts.
As they were discussing, a crystalline divine ship flew from the distant starry sky, landed on the Heavenly River, and crossed toward the Heavenly Court.
Standing at the bow of the ship was Qing Su.
...
The Heavenly Court not only had forces from various great worlds and ancient civilizations but also the Five Elements Temple, Space Divine Temple, Time Divine Temple, Truth Divine Temple, Array Destruction Palace... and many other large and small forces.
Some of these forces had ancient lineages that could be traced back to the primordial ancient and desolate ancient eras.
They were independent of the various great worlds, only governed by the Heavenly Palace, yet they had countless connections with those worlds.
The Space Divine Temple was located in the Qicheng Heavenly Domain, built at the foot of the first divine mountain of West Ox Continent, "Buzhou Mountain." Here, space rules were dense, and many ancient secret realms were distributed—one leaf, one world; one grain of sand, one star.
Buzhou Mountain was also associated with many legends.
One of them said that Buzhou Mountain was the tomb of the ancestor of one of the twelve primeval ancient clans.
The master of the Space Divine Temple had been in seclusion for two thousand years. The temple's various affairs were managed by two venerables, one king, and nine elders.
Among them, the most powerful below the temple master was Tianya Shenzun, who was in charge of teaching, punishment, divination, and sacrifice, and stayed in the temple year-round.
Tianya Shenzun wore white clothes, white beard, and white hair, but he looked hale and hearty, appearing to be only in his forties or fifties.
On his back grew pairs of spotless white feathers, clearly indicating he was born from the Angel Clan of Paradise Realm.
The Great Palace Master of the Radiant Divine Temple, "Yu Dongxuan," and the Deputy Palace Master of the Array Destruction Palace, "Xie Tianyi," were both in the temple, as honored guests of Tianya Shenzun.
Yu Dongxuan had come with an avatar, his body radiating brilliant divine light of radiance. He got straight to the point: "May I ask, Divine Venerable, have you found the murderer?"
Tianya Shenzun shook his head and said, "Chi Kunlun indeed died in the Space Divine Temple, and I was indeed in the temple at the time. But I had no sensation at all. The one who struck was at least a being with spiritual power at the eighty-ninth level. It might even be..."
Yu Dongxuan interrupted him, saying, "You are at the early stage of Great Unbound Infinite cultivation, and a god fell right under your nose without you noticing. Will Jie Tian believe that? You are the most suspicious!"
Tianya Shenzun frowned and said, "Great Palace Master, have you come to kick me while I'm down?"
Yu Dongxuan laughed and said, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong? If you wanted to kill Chi Kunlun, you would never have done it in the Space Divine Temple."
Tianya Shenzun's expression eased slightly.
Yu Dongxuan said, "Although your lineage has long broken away from Paradise Realm, Divine Venerable is still of the Angel Clan, and we are of the same race. Now that Divine Venerable is in trouble, how could I stand by and do nothing?"
Tianya Shenzun was not so easily fooled by Yu Dongxuan. He said indifferently, "I think it would be better if you stood by and did nothing. Otherwise, if I am branded with the mark of Paradise Realm, this matter will be even harder to resolve!"
Yu Dongxuan laughed loudly and said, "Keep dreaming! The Space Divine Temple was very active when it dealt with Kunlun Realm back then. Didn't you plunder quite a few resources? Do you think the gods of Kunlun Realm won't take this opportunity to retaliate? Can you withstand it? Can your clansmen withstand it?"
Tianya Shenzun's face turned extremely ugly. He said, "The Heavenly Palace will not allow Kunlun Realm to act recklessly!"
"When Princess Shenba committed a bloody massacre in Paradise Realm, rivers of blood flowed, and the Heavenly Court didn't pursue it either. Do you think the Space Divine Temple has the strength to rely on the Heavenly Court to uphold justice? The Space Divine Temple doesn't even have a single heavenly lord!"
Yu Dongxuan retorted coldly, stroking his beard, and said, "The Heavenly Court governs eight thousand worlds. There are many intricacies in how the Heavenly Palace balances this bowl of water! Now, Hall Master Ke intends to give you a hand."
Tianya Shenzun was quite surprised that it had alarmed Hall Master Ke.
But soon, he discerned the deeper meaning.
How could a figure like Hall Master Ke help him for no reason?
This was to pull him out and use him as a pawn against Kunlun Realm! At the same time, it would completely bind the Space Divine Temple to the chariot of Paradise Realm.
In the struggle of the myriad heavens, although he was at the early stage of Great Unbound Infinite, the choices available to him were still very few.
Tianya Shenzun said, "What does Hall Master Ke mean?"
Yu Dongxuan said, "Hall Master Ke has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Space Divine Temple. He only asked me to lay out the interests and stakes for you. This time, the Space Divine Temple absolutely cannot back down. Once you back down, you will never be able to hold your head up in the Heavenly Court again and will be trampled into the dust."
"From the moment Chi Kunlun joined the Space Divine Temple to cultivate, he was no longer a god of Kunlun Realm. This is an internal matter of the Space Divine Temple, and they have no right to interfere!"
Unable to find the murderer and having stayed in the temple all along, Tianya Shenzun was racking his brains over how to deal with the gods of Kunlun Realm. Yu Dongxuan's strategy made his eyes light up.
"But what if Jie Tian comes in person?"
Tianya Shenzun still had some concerns in his heart.
Yu Dongxuan smiled and said, "Several of the myriad heavens studied in the Space Divine Temple when they were young and formed a master-disciple bond. If Jie Tian comes in person to trample on the order of the Space Divine Temple, they will not sit idly by. Besides, there is still Hall Master Ke!"
