Nuwa swept up Qingxuan in her sleeve and, in the blink of an eye, crossed the countless tens of thousands of li from the base of Buzhou Mountain to its summit, appearing directly at the peak.
One of them was a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, while the other had received a gift from Great God Pangu and cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique to the sixth revolution. The pressure of Pangu on Buzhou Mountain was no more than a gentle breeze against their faces, posing no pressure at all.
The moment Qingxuan and Nuwa landed on the summit of Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa scanned the surroundings.
Seeing this, Qingxuan could not help laughing.
"Master, since it's called the Heavenly Court, it must be above us."
Nuwa had been anxious to find a new Dao Field and had not reacted in time. Her pretty face flushed as she reached out and lightly tapped Qingxuan.
The two of them flew upward again.
After flying upward for an unknown distance, the two stopped together at a certain moment.
In the empty space before them, faint traces of a great formation emerged.
The traces of the formation shifted constantly along with the void, appearing and disappearing. If the two of them had not both been top Great Powers, and if Nuwa had not already successfully attained the Dao, they might not have discovered it at all.
This Heavenly Court truly deserves to be the center of the future Three Realms. It's actually moving at all times.
Nuwa secretly nodded as well. Indeed, if they had not been constantly watching their surroundings, they might not have found it.
Nuwa's Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal power surged forth, pinning down the surrounding void. Only after carefully observing the great formation did she begin breaking it.
After all, this would be her future Dao Field. Nuwa did not want to forcefully break the formation and damage the Heavenly Court, so she could only proceed step by step.
A thousand years passed just like that. Under the strength of Nuwa, a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the great formation was finally broken.
Qingxuan and Nuwa exchanged a glance before entering together the Heavenly Court that would one day rule the Three Realms.
The moment they entered, the sight before them left them both stunned.
A towering gate radiated waves of immortal qi, with the words "South Heaven Gate" inscribed upon it.
After entering the South Heaven Gate, clouds churned beneath their feet, as though they were standing above a sea of clouds.
Looking up, they could not see the top at all. Layer upon layer of palaces and towers, with carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent and magnificent, extended endlessly upward, seemingly connecting directly to the stars in the heavens! The full Thirty-Six Heavens grew more vast and imposing with each level.
A grand and majestic aura, along with the bearing of ruling the eight directions, surged toward them.
Massive white jade pillars supported the towering palace gates, their surfaces covered in profound ancient runes. The spiritual qi was so dense it seemed almost solid. It truly deserved to be called a top Blessed Land.
"Good heavens..."
Qingxuan could not help clicking his tongue.
"This place is truly magnificent! It's far grander than the Demon Emperor Hall on the Sun Star! No wonder Di Jun and Tai Yi would risk everything to move here later."
Nuwa's beautiful eyes also shone as she nodded in satisfaction.
This place had a grand layout, solid foundations, incomparably abundant spiritual qi, and even drew upon the power of the stars of the heavens. Its location was superb. It was practically perfect as a Sage's Dao Field!
"Come on, let's take a look above."
In high spirits, Nuwa led the way upward.
Qingxuan hurried after her, looking around as they walked.
The Heavenly Court was divided into the Thirty-Six Heavens: the Six Heavens of Desire, the Eighteen Heavens of Form, the Four Formless Heavens, the Four Brahma Heavens, the Three Pure Ones' Heaven, and Grand Unity Heaven.
The Six Heavens of Desire were where, in later generations, living beings from the lower realms would attain the Dao, become immortals, and ascend to the Heavenly Court. The Eighteen Heavens of Form housed the Heavenly Court's main forces, including the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Western Merit Officials, and other immortals and deities. The Four Formless Heavens were where the true gods and unrestrained immortals of the Heavenly Court resided. The Four Brahma Heavens were where the Six Imperial Lords dwelled, while the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was located above the Four Brahma Heavens, in the Thirty-Third Heavens.
The Three Pure Ones' Heaven was also known as the Sage Realm Heaven. After the War of the Investiture of the Gods, when Hongjun exiled the Sages into the chaos, the Three Pure Ones each sent a corpse incarnation into the Heavenly Court, where they dwelled. Since the Three Pure Ones were all Heavenly Dao Sages, this realm was also called the Three Pure Ones' Heaven.
As for the final Grand Unity Heaven, it was the place closest to the chaos. It contained everything, with the laws of the Dao manifesting within it.
The two wandered through this vast, boundless remnant of the Heavenly Court as though viewing a new home, becoming more satisfied the more they saw.
The uppermost levels in particular were tranquil and elegant, with the purest spiritual qi and a trace of ancient Dao Charm. They were extremely suitable as a cultivation Dao Field.
"Master, how about these uppermost three levels? They're quiet, and the layout is good. With a little tidying and decorating, they'll definitely be better than those noisy places below."
Qingxuan suggested.
At present, the entire Heavenly Court was ownerless. The Three Pure Ones had not yet become Sages, so where would the Three Pure Ones' Heaven come from? It was all Wa Huang Heaven.
As for where the Three Pure Ones would live after entering the Heavenly Court in the future, what did that have to do with Qingxuan?
Nuwa was just about to nod when her delicate brows suddenly furrowed. She sensed something and looked toward the entrance of the Heavenly Court.
Almost at the same time, Qingxuan also turned sharply, his gaze growing keen.
In the distance, the sea of clouds churned. Two figures radiating dense Solar True Fire and vast imperial might broke in under the faint guidance of an inexplicable force, bewildered yet filled with intense curiosity!
They were none other than the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi!
The two had originally been on the Sun Star, pondering how to find Hong Yun and "talk" about the Primordial Violet Qi. Suddenly, they sensed something. In the depths of their minds, it was as though a voice were telling them that the summit of Buzhou Mountain held an opportunity crucial to the rise of the Demon Race. Thus, they hurried over in a frenzy.
It was the Heavenly Dao that had discovered Nuwa and Qingxuan entering the Heavenly Court and had hurriedly notified the Demon Race.
The moment they entered, the two brothers were also shaken by the vast, ancient, and imposing sight of the Heavenly Court before them!
"Big Brother! This... What an extraordinary treasure land!"
Tai Yi held the Eastern Emperor Bell, his eyes wide and round, his breathing slightly hurried.
"The layout of this place was practically destined to become the center from which our Demon Race would rule the Primordial World!"
Di Jun was equally stirred. The River Diagram and Luo Book began circulating and deducing on their own within his body. The result showed that this place faintly harmonized with the destiny of the Demon Race. If they could occupy it, the Demon Race would surely experience unprecedented prosperity!
"Hahahaha! Heaven blesses our Demon Race! Our Demon Race is destined to rise!"
Di Jun could not help throwing back his head and laughing, brimming with pride.
However, before their laughter had even faded, it abruptly stopped.
That was because they had seen Nuwa and Qingxuan nearby, looking at them with faint smiles.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward and tense.
The expressions of Di Jun and Tai Yi darkened at once, their eyes turning wary and unpleasant.
They had never expected to encounter Nuwa, who had just become a Sage, here! And that strange Qingxuan as well!
When Nuwa became a Sage, Qingxuan had withstood the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation head-on. All the Great Powers of the Primordial World had already taken notice of him.
"Sage Nuwa?"
Suppressing the alarm in his heart, Di Jun reluctantly cupped his hands.
"What a coincidence, Sage. Why are you here?"
Before Nuwa could speak, Qingxuan smiled and spoke first.
"Oh, isn't this the Demon Emperor and Eastern Emperor? What, have you grown tired of living on the Sun Star and want to come take a stroll around this Heavenly Court too? Come see your new home?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "Heavenly Court" and "new home."
Di Jun and Tai Yi both felt their hearts jolt! They had only just learned that this place was called the Heavenly Court, so how did Qingxuan seem to have known it long ago? And what did he mean by "new home"?
Tai Yi had a fiery temper. He stepped forward and said coldly,
"This is an ownerless land. My brother and I came here in response to the guidance of the Heavenly Dao. This place is clearly fated to belong to our Demon Race! What, does the Sage intend to seize it by force?"
He held the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand. Although he was wary of Nuwa's Sage's Might, they could not let go when it concerned the future foundation of the Demon Race.
Nuwa smiled faintly, allowing a trace of Sage's Might to seep out. Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately felt an enormous pressure.
"Seize it by force? That is an absurd claim. When did this place become occupied? And when did it become a destiny belonging to your Demon Race?"
Her gaze swept over the two of them. Her tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.
"I find this place very much to my liking and intend to establish a Dao Field here and quietly comprehend the Great Dao. The two of you should leave."
"You!"
Tai Yi flew into a rage. The Eastern Emperor Bell began to hum, and chaotic qi started to spread.
Di Jun hurriedly held back his impulsive younger brother, his face so dark it seemed ready to drip water.
He now understood clearly: Nuwa was determined to seize this territory!
She was a Sage. If they truly fought, the two of them would absolutely gain nothing.
But he was unwilling to abandon this treasure land connected to the future of the Demon Race just like that!
Just as the two sides stood on the verge of battle and the atmosphere had become unbearably tense—something unexpected suddenly happened!
