Heavenly Palace Supreme
"The Emperor Chu actually saw us off personally?"
"This is the Dharma Form of the Emperor Chu, not his True Form."
"So fast! The Star River is like a shadow, could Emperor Chu already be Immortal Emperor?"
Within the Immortal City, the spaceships of various sects were anchored, and the disciples and elders on board could all sense the alternating light and shadow of the Star and Moon Immortal City.
Countless streaks of light flashed by; it wasn't the Xingchen that were flying, but rather the stars themselves, moving at an unimaginable speed, like the shifting of stars.
The vast Southern Region border passed by in a blurry afterimage amidst the many gazes, barely visible. Only the distant and enormous landmass could be vaguely discerned, its outline faintly revealing the landscape of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.
"The Southern Region Assembly Battle is a contest between seven dynasties. This time, all dynasties are extremely eager for the quotas in the Original True World, and it's not uncommon for some to resort to underhanded tactics."
Inside the Palace Hall of the spaceship, the Dream Master looked up and then spoke to Li Hao beside him.
Li Hao nodded. He had encountered ambushes on the way before in the Land of Myriad Heavens.
Although we have now come to the True Realm from the Tian Yang Pseudo-World, things have changed but people have not, and the human heart has remained unchanged since ancient times.
Li Hao withdrew his gaze from the vast Starlight Starry Sky above the spaceship and focused it on the painted porcelain in front of him, examining it carefully.
Seeing that Li Hao was calm and collected, the Dream Master smiled slightly and quietly accompanied him from the side.
Time flies.
The Emperor Chu's Dharma Form held up the Immortal City, with the Progenitor Dragon coiled around it. Following the stars and the moon, it arrived at the center of the Southern Region in just a few days.
As they approached, the Immortal Power in the surrounding Starry Sky was noticeably denser than that of the Immortal City of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, comparable to that of the Imperial Capital of the Immortal Dynasty.
In the Heaven and Earth and boundless Starry Sky, a radiant and dazzling continent floats in the Starry Sky.
The continent stretched as far as the eye could see, for hundreds of millions of miles, Immortal Gang barrier outside the continent was filled with dense Immortal Power, shimmering silver-white.
"We're almost there; that's the Heavenly Palace."
Inside the spaceship, the Dream Master looked up, a calm glint in his eyes, and spoke to Li Hao.
Li Hao was discussing with her how to draw the branches of the Time Origin Divine Tree when he suddenly heard her words. He couldn't help but look up and saw the central point of the Southern Region, the Heavenly Palace where the Immortal Emperor was stationed.
In the Starry Sky beyond that continent, there are streaks of silver light. Compared to the vast continent, the surrounding streaks of light are like silver dust, inconspicuous.
But at that moment, those silver dust particles flew towards Li Hao and his group.
Only when they got closer did they realize that they were Immortal Guard patrolling outside the Heavenly Palace.
However, these Immortal Guards were all at the Immortal Lord Realm, clad in uniform Battle Armor, with cold expressions. Even after recognizing Emperor Chu's identity, their expressions did not soften or waver, and they continued to fly straight over.
Emperor Chu raised his hand and wrote the word "Yan" in the void, emitting bright golden light.
Upon seeing this, the group of Immortal Guard bowed and then made way for them.
The Emperor Chu lifted the Immortal City with one hand, put the other hand behind his back, and flew straight away.
Outside the boundless Heavenly Palace Continent, shrouded in Immortal Gang Barrier, a squad of silver-armored Immortal Guard touched their Iron Halberd together, their Immortal Markings intertwining, and the Immortal Halberd radiating a brilliant silver light. This created a crack in the Immortal Gang Barrier, allowing Emperor Chu to pass through.
Seeing this scene, the disciples and elders of all the sects in the Immortal City were deeply shocked.
Even a top powerhouse like the Emperor Chu, the emperor of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, seems to have to abide by the rules in this Heavenly Palace.
As soon as they passed through the Immortal Gang, they were immediately enveloped by a dense Immortal Power, which flowed through the Immortal City and into the various spaceships Domain Artifact.
Li Hao, who was in the Main Hall, could feel that the Immortal Power on the spaceship was four or five times stronger than before. Cultivating here would be four or five times stronger than outside. If he had enough talent, he could probably Dao Inquiry Realm in his early twenties.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air, dressed in a black robe with a special Symbol on it—a dark red Phoenix Tail.
"Feng Leixiang of the Phoenix Feather Clan greets Emperor Chu."
The middle-aged man in black robes cupped his hands, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, his Aura restrained. Although he could not compare with Emperor Chu, he seemed to be an Immortal King Realm!
The Emperor Chu remained calm, already accustomed to the attitude of the people from the Heavenly Palace, and said, "The sons of my Yan-Chu have all come here."
"Master is waiting in the Heavenly Palace Hall, please."
Feng Leixiang smiled, glanced at the Immortal City in the Emperor Chu's hand, but his expression remained unchanged.
The Emperor Chu nodded slightly and, guided by the other party, followed him as they slowly flew away.
"The Phoenix Feather Clan is also a powerful clan among the Hundred Clans. They are Immortal Beast Clan, skilled in the Fire Dao and Thunder Dao."
The Dream Master glanced at Feng Leixiang and whispered to Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded. The True World Hundred Clans are all powerful races, and these races also intermarry. For example, the Yin Jingcheng was the Profound Yin Clan, one of the Hundred Clans, and also one of the Six Elements Clan among the Hundred Clans.
The so-called Six Elements Clan is one of the Hundred Clans. It is a racial group formed by their alliance with the Profound Yin Clan. The Six Elements is the general name for them.
Even the most powerful clans need to form alliances to maintain their foothold in the long run. Through generations of the Marriage Alliance and reproduction, their relationships have become intertwined and complex.
"Every time I come here, I have to pay homage to the Immortal Emperor first."
The Dream Master said to Li Hao, "This is also a rare opportunity. The Immortal Emperor is the true Emperor. Even the Emperor Chu or the Imperial Emperor of other Ancient Immortal Dynasty are only pseudo-emperors in the presence of the Immortal Emperor. They are no different from emperors among mortals. It is just a verbal title within their own Immortal Dynasty. Once they leave their own Immortal Dynasty, they are nothing in other places."
"But the Immortal Emperor is universally acknowledged by Heavenly Realms. When the Immortal Emperor travels, his Emperor Dao illuminates the True Realm. If the Immortal Emperor so desires, his Emperor Dao can be seen anywhere in the True Realm, a truly terrifying sight."
Upon hearing her words, Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly; he could hardly imagine what a shocking scene that must have been.
But without a doubt, the Immortal Emperor Realm is an unshakeable existence in everyone's hearts.
"To be able to see with your own eyes what the world's strongest experts and the highest level of cultivation look like is a rare opportunity, but do not force yourself to look directly at them."
The Dream Master smiled and said to Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded. Although his master, the Master Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, was also Immortal Emperor, he had ultimately perished, while the one before him was alive and well.
Soon, Emperor Chu lifted the Immortal City and followed that Supreme's Disciple to the Heavenly Palace Hall.
This Palace Hall stands high above the continent, like a dazzling Blazing Sun overhead, at the very center and highest point of the land.
Like a God Sun, it spreads brilliant heat, illuminating the entire continent.
There was no teleportation along the way; they simply traveled at their Body Traversal speed, and the surrounding scenery flashed by like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Chu led everyone to the Heavenly Palace Hall.
This majestic Palace Hall hangs silently in the air. Outside the Palace Hall is a staircase that stretches for nearly ten thousand miles, as white as jade. On both sides are Immortal Guard, like silver dust, swarming around like bees, patrolling the surroundings.
The Emperor Chu's Dharma Form was extremely majestic, but as he arrived outside the Heavenly Palace Hall, the Dharma Form gradually shrank, from ten thousand feet to a thousand feet, and finally only a few dozen feet in size. The Immortal City in his hand also became smaller.
Feng Leixiang, dressed in black robes, stopped before the steps, turned to look at Emperor Chu, and extended his hand, saying, "Please."
The Emperor Chu understood his meaning. After all, this was not his first time here. He remained calm, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. The Immortal City in his hand soared into the air, growing larger above his head. Then, the Progenitor Dragon coiled around the Immortal City let out a roar, carrying the Imperial Clan into the air and landing in front of the steps.
Upon hearing the roar of the Progenitor Dragon, Feng Leixiang glanced at him, his eyes conveying a hint of peacefulness.
This peaceful and composed gesture was a warning not to disturb the beings in the Heavenly Palace.
The Progenitor Dragon sensed the gaze emanating from beneath that peaceful demeanor, and with a slightly displeased snort, it glanced at the dragon, turned around, and unloaded Chu Tianhuang and the other Imperial Clan from its back.
"Little ones, come down, I can't carry you here."
The Progenitor Dragon transmitted its message to many Imperial Clan.
Chu Tianhuang and the others wisely jumped down, not daring to ride the dragon to the Heavenly Palace.
At the same time, many spaceships Domain Artifact within the Immortal City also took off, their size increasing, and figures leaped out from within them.
"Walk."
The Dream Master also led Li Hao out of the spaceship and into the Heavenly Palace to pay homage to that Supreme, and could only proceed on foot.
Any act of Sky Traversal or riding in Immortal Artifact is considered highly disrespectful.
Unless granted special permission by the Heavenly Palace, but such beings are extremely rare, such as the Supreme's Personal Disciple, who can travel and fly on his own.
In the blink of an eye, the disciples who had been in the various Domain Artifact all landed in front of these White Jade- like steps and gathered together.
Li Hao glanced around and noticed some unfamiliar but powerful Aura among the crowd. He knew that these were probably disciples recommended by various sects, including the Imperial Family, just as the Dream Master had said.
For example, Yin Jingcheng and Meng Huaiyue were among the top thousand students to be recommended for admission to the Great Dream Nine Abyss.
As Li Hao looked around, several pairs of eyes quickly fell on him. Li Hao glanced at them and saw Lin Qingying. He couldn't help but smile at her and give her an encouraging look.
Seeing Li Hao's smile, Lin Qingying's tired and depressed mood suddenly eased, and she smiled back at Li Hao.
The two exchanged glances, attracting two other pairs of eyes. One gaze came from the Imperial Clan, belonging to Chu Yueli.
Following Li Hao's gaze, she saw him exchanging glances with a strange woman, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.
He may not be a high-minded person, but he's quite adept at flirting. Even before marrying her, she already feels like she's being cuckolded.
Another gaze, however, came from the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion. Not far from Lin Qingying, Tian Hongyi, dressed in snow-white robes with Sword Mark on his chest, saw the smile blooming on the face of the Green-Robed Woman and followed her gaze. Immediately, his brows furrowed and his expression turned somewhat cold.
"This is the Heavenly Palace?"
"That Supreme resides inside? The culmination of countless Years and countless races of the Myriad Races of the True World, the pinnacle of cultivation— the Immortal Emperor!"
The disciples from the other sects were all looking up at the enormous palace that seemed to reach the heavens, but all they could see were endless steps and a corner of the Palace Hall at the end.
The many Heavenly Prodigy present had their eyes shining at the thought of seeing the Immortal Emperor in person.
No matter how Heavenly Prodigy or unparalleled one may be, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to become Immortal Emperor.
Moreover, the deeds of each Immortal Emperor spread throughout the True Realm, each forging their own Emperor Path, influencing future generations for eternity.
"Emperor Chu, please."
Upon seeing the disciples from various sects descend from the Immortal City, Feng Leixiang, standing at the foot of the steps, finally smiled and gestured for Emperor Chu to proceed.
The Emperor Chu's Dharma Form, several tens of feet tall, still looked majestic, his gaze calm yet disdainful, as he followed Feng Leixiang's figure up the steps.
The disciples of each sect, led by their Sect Master or elder, immediately followed behind.
Li Hao stood with Gu Yan and Yue Xi, looking around as they walked. The steps were long, probably taking half an hour to climb. He noticed that the two people beside him, after initially looking around, kept their heads down and kept climbing the steps with furrowed brows, as if they had something on their minds.
Murong Qingwu and Yue Xi were both women and had a close relationship. She gently nudged Yue Xi with her arm and said:
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? You wouldn't happen to be hoping the Immortal Emperor will vindicate your race, would you?"
Yue Xi was startled and looked around. Seeing that no one had noticed her words, her expression changed slightly, and she bit her lip, saying:
"For Immortal Emperor, this is just a matter of a word."
"It really is just a matter of a word, but those in power are always very sparing with their words."
Murong Qingwu shook her head, clearly hoping that Yue Xi would give up the idea, so as not to offend that Supreme. After all, that was Immortal Emperor, an unapproachable existence, even to the point of being able to do whatever he wanted, to Birth and Extinction with a single thought, and no one could threaten him, unless the Great Emperor of the Ancient Demons joined forces.
"Our clan has nothing to do with chaos. Although we possess this power, our clan has never misused it."
Yue Xi bit her lip and said.
The Calamity Clan was hated by everyone in the True Realm and had a terrible reputation. When Li Tiemu brought her back to Sword Abyss, he was under immense pressure.
Her initial Dao Heart and aptitude were so great that even the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion was vying for her. However, after learning about her race, the situation reversed, and they wouldn't even let her join.
"Gossip is a fearsome thing. As long as you wear dirty clothes, no one cares who put them on you; they'll all say you're Beggar."
Murong Qingwu shook her head slightly and sighed.
Hearing their conversation, Li Tiemu, who was traveling with them, felt a jolt in his heart and said to Yue Xi, "Grandma, you mustn't do something so foolish. The Immortal Emperor won't care about such things. Unless you achieve a very high ranking in the Southern Region Assembly Battle and gain the Supreme's favor, you won't have the right to speak."
Yue Xi clenched her fingers slightly, feeling a sense of resentment.
Murong Qingwu said, "That's right. There's another way: go to the Hundred Clans Emperor Battle Mountain. Once you're among the Hundred Clans there, you'll have a voice."
Yue Xi naturally knew this path, but it was far from easy; it was even more difficult and bloodier than the Southern Region Assembly Battle.
"I see."
She whispered, knowing that if she acted impulsively, she might implicate everyone in the Great Dream Nine Abyss, and even bring trouble to the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty. In that case, the legend of her Calamity Clan and bringing disaster would only be confirmed.
Beside him, Gu Yan glanced at her, and seeing her compromise, he slowly withdrew his gaze, his clenched hand loosened, and his expression returned to calm.
As they climbed, the long staircase finally came to an end, and the group saw the Heavenly Palace Hall where the Supreme Being resided.
A magnificent hall stood tall, seemingly touching the sky, with streaks of light fluttering around it, a scene strikingly similar to the Great Dao Origin on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
