Revealing the Truth

Time rushed by: a thousand years in the present world, ten thousand years in dreams.

Thirty thousand years later, Earth Immortal Realm.

Eastern Victory Divine Continent, Nine Heavens Immortal Court.

Within Emperor Taihuang's Palace, Xu Yang flicked his whisk. Supreme Clarity Immortal Light flowed forth, undoing layer upon layer of seals and revealing a treasure pagoda.

The pagoda stood nine stories high. Every level was bound in locks and shackles, while formations above and below conformed to the principles of yin and yang, achieving the configuration of heaven and earth, profound and yellow.
