40 Elder Council of the Ōtsutsuki Clan

Headquarters Ōtsutsuki Clan, Planet Tengoku, Celestial Hall

The Celestial Hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan is a majestic and ethereal place where the most powerful of the Clan meet to discuss the most important matters.

It was a place where the Immortals of the Clan, powerhouses and other important members discussed the most important affairs of the Cla and its development.

The Celestial Hall is located in the highest reaches of the vast and mystical Heavenly Creed Mountain, hidden from mortal eyes and accessible only to those who have achieved a certain level of cultivation of the Holy Lord.

It was a place of breathtaking beauty, with clouds swirling in vibrant colors and sparkling streams of Celestial Chakra flowing through the air, but way more intense compared to the other parts of the Planet Tengoku.

There were tens of God Trees planted all around the Heavenly Creed Mountain, giving the entire place an unnatural feel of tranquilness and ethereal wonder.

Aside from the God Trees, there were countless powerful Chakra Beasts and Mythical Creatures that were living in the Heavenly Creed Mountain, calling the place their home.

Inside, the Celestial Hall reveals itself as an expansive and resplendent palace adorned with intricate carvings and delicate golden accents.

The halls are lined with shimmering jade pillars that seem to emit a soft glow, casting a surreal light across the surroundings. Enchanted lotus ponds, teeming with vibrant flowers, fill the air with a sweet fragrance.

The Central Hall, known as the Hall of Heavenly Unity, is where the most esteemed Immortals convene. In the middle of the Hall, there were several thrones, with one of them being the biggest and highest compared to the other.

That was the Throne of the Primogenitor of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Lord Shibai, while directly below them, a few stairs lower, there were three Thrones belonging to the three Ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The three Paragon Realm experts of the Clan.

And below them, in a circle pattern, were ten Thrones, each belonging to one of the Hall Masters and Grand Elders of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and one belonging to the Patriarch of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Because Lord Shibai has been absent from the Clan for a very long time already, his place usually remained empty at the meetings of the Elder Council, while Ancestors rarely participated in the meetings and rather focused on their cultivation.

Today was an exception to this rule because not only all Grand Elders were in attendance, including the Patriarch, but also two of three Ancestors were sitting on their Thrones with their eyes closed and observing the situation.

The two Ancestors attending were Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang and Ōtsutsuki Shiroyasha, who had the appearance of a beautiful young woman with long white hair. She was also the youngest of the Anceostrs and a young member of the Clan to reach the Paragon Realm.

She became Paragon Realm cultivator only a few tens of millennia ago.

As Ōtsutsuki Xen Yang was preparing to speak because he called for this meeting of the Elder Council, suddenly, the Eternal Throne of the Lord Shibai started shining brightly, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Everyone knew what was happening.

Lord Shibai has returned to the Clan.

As Lord Shibai appeared on his Eternal Throne, everyone in the meeting room kneeling, greeting the supreme ruler of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, their Primogenitor and leader and also a sole, sole Autarch Realm Ōtsutsuki, Overlord-Class Chaotic Origin Lifeform, the Tier 7 Transcendental Being of their Starveil Origin World.

Lord Shibai didn't say anything as he waved his hand and motioned for the meeting to continue because as he came back, he saw everything that happened within the Clan.

With his cultivation and abilities, there was nothing that could escape his sight.

"Now, from the searching through the soul of the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon and databanks of Commander Automaton, both procured by Crown Prince Ōtsutsuki Yakou, we have found the Dimensional Pathway connecting us to another Origin World. In case of this, I have some good news and bad news."

Everyone in the room was aware of the Ōtsutsuki Yakou's feats this time because he had made tremendous contributions to the Clan, despite not being fully aware of the consequences.

"So what are they?"

Asked one of the Hall Masters, more precisely the Hall Master, Ōtsutsuki Kenshin, who had reached the Empyrean Realm only a few months ago during the fight against one of the Elder Gods of the Faith God Alliance who almost killed him.

"The bad news is that the machines have already sent a large number of their scraps into the new Origin World to create a base there. The good news is that the strongest entity in the entire Origin World is around 1st-Grade Empyrean Ream, so anyone of us could squash it to death."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted and stressed at the same time.

Everyone was delighted that they found Origin World that was strong enough to give birth to a Tier 5 entity...

Such a thing was relatively good because it made them a rather easy target for conquest and considering the state of the Origin World, they would obtain tremendous resources as the world was somehow strong.

But on the worse side of things, the machines already took a foothold in the world and would cause trouble for them, so they needed to act as soon as possible and take the Dimensional Pathway away from them.

"And to make the situation worse, the Dimensional Pathway is allowing only people of Tier 1 and Tier 2 to cross over."

This instantly made everyone sour hearing that...

"I can use my power to adjust the Dimensional Pathway, but it will take some time."

After several seconds of silence, Lord Shibai spoke for the first time in a deep voice, as everyone gave him a bow before they returned to the meeting.

"We need to send someone to make the foothold and prepare for the all-out invasion and destabilize the entire Origin World by the time we start a war."

Grand Elder Ōtsutsuki Muzan voiced his opinion as others agreed with him.

"Small squad of about a hundred Clansmen should suffice, right now the strongest Tier 2 Clansmen and only step away from reaching the Saint Realm are Crown Prince Yakou, Ōtsutsuki Dōma, Ōtsutsuki Gin and Ōtsutsuki Bai Long."

Ōtsutsuki Muzan then proposed several people who should be leading their vanguard forces.

"All of them have combat prowess for standard Tier 3, while the Crown Prince could match Saint Realms in pure destructive prowess."

Ōtsutsuki Dōma was actually his grandson who inherited most of his abilities and was extremely powerful Myrdiaded Ōtsutsuki.

Ōtsutsuki Bai Long was Divine Lineage Clansmen, who was a descendant of one of the Ancestors, Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto and his talent in Path of Sword was frightening.

And Ōtsutsuki Gin was someone who was born with a special physique and ferrying affinity for the Lightning Element and grasp of Divine Tribulation Lightning.
