Gathering Forces, Building a Giant City

In the northeastern region of the Hong Huang, far from the major powers, lay a hidden valley. Golden Armor Ancestor, an Innate Demon God, sat comfortably in the main hall, gazing at the hundreds of Golden Immortals lining its sides with a sense of accomplishment.

Golden Armor Ancestor had originally established a dynasty in the Hong Huang. Though it couldn't compare to the Six Great Sacred Dynasties, holding a position in the Hong Huang was still quite good.

Later, the major powers suddenly attacked. Golden Armor Ancestor, seeing the opportunity, knew he couldn't resist. He decisively abandoned his territory, taking only a dozen or so Golden Immortals to flee to this place, far from the major powers, to develop.

He secretly took in other Golden Immortals who were remnants of destroyed forces. After many years of development, he now had hundreds of Golden Immortals under his command, making him a local overlord in this mountain range.

"Being an elder by joining another power isn't as free as this," Golden Armor Ancestor thought, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

Suddenly, Golden Armor Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine. The space before him rippled, and a black hole slowly appeared. A man with white hair and silver eyes stepped out.

This man was none other than the Main Body.

Golden Armor Ancestor's eyes widened the moment the Main Body appeared. Teleportation? What kind of technique is this? When he saw those emotionless, cold eyes, Golden Armor Ancestor's heart grew cold, and he trembled slightly, daring not to look further.

The Main Body pointed his right hand towards Golden Armor Ancestor's forehead. Golden Armor Ancestor, unwilling to be a sitting duck, tried to push his Spiritual Power to dodge. However, a vast, majestic will descended upon him. In the face of this will, Golden Armor Ancestor felt like an ant, unable to move. He could only watch as the finger touched his forehead.

The hundreds of Golden Immortals around them were terrified. Golden Armor Ancestor was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a figure of standing in the entire Hong Huang. Yet, he was now completely defenseless. What was the cultivation of this strange man? The thought made their hearts pound.

After being touched by the Main Body, a red light flashed on Golden Armor Ancestor's forehead, forming a vertical red mark. Golden Armor Ancestor felt as if a shackle had been born from the void, tightly locking his soul, which had already transcended the River of Destiny. It didn't affect his cultivation, which was incredibly bizarre.

"Master," Golden Armor Ancestor said respectfully to the Main Body. Knowing that the Main Body already controlled everything about him, Golden Armor Ancestor could only submit.

The Main Body nodded expressionlessly, and a beam of light shot from his eyes into the top of Golden Armor Ancestor's head. Then, he stepped into the air and left.

Golden Armor Ancestor watched the Main Body's retreating figure, his expression complex. However, upon reviewing the information the Main Body had just sent him, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

"You all immediately go down and tell everyone to pack up and prepare to leave this place," Golden Armor Ancestor commanded, then strode out of the hall without explaining to the Golden Immortals.

Using the same method, the Main Body subdued over twenty Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Some were leaders of scattered forces, while others were lone cultivators.

A month later, in a place with a top-grade Spiritual Vein in the northern part of the Hong Huang, the Main Body floated quietly in the sky. This was originally where Silver Bone Ancestor meditated. Now that Silver Bone had submitted to the Main Body, they were preparing to establish their main base here.

Over twenty Grand Unity Golden Immortals, thousands of Golden Immortals, and over a hundred thousand Mystic Immortals and Heavenly Immortals looked up at the Main Body with reverence. The group was led by the more powerful Silver Bone Ancestor, White Stone Ancestor, Golden Armor Ancestor, Black Nether Ancestor, and Cold Ice Ancestor.

The Main Body slightly raised his palm, and several mysterious runes flashed in his palm. Instantly, the wind and clouds reversed, and endless Spiritual Qi gathered.

The massive amount of Spiritual Qi swirled, and gradually, golden runes appeared within the Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi began to compress continuously, forming a sky-covering giant palm.

As soon as this giant palm appeared, it emitted immense spiritual pressure. The surrounding peaks cracked under this pressure, and the air was squeezed to the point of making "squeaking" sounds.

But the change didn't stop. The moment the giant palm formed, boundless light descended and was swallowed by the palm. For a radius of a hundred thousand li, the world suddenly plunged into darkness. In the endless darkness, a golden giant palm seemed to rule everything, exuding infinite majesty.

The golden giant palm pressed down, and in the darkness, boundless golden light erupted instantly, dyeing everything golden.

When sunlight once again shone upon the land, Golden Armor Ancestor and the others stared at the scene before them in dumbfounded silence. The thousands of giant mountains surrounding them had vanished into thin air, replaced by a vast, flat plain. It looked as if it had always been this way, with no trace of any development.

The Main Body glanced slightly and extended his hands downwards, grasping the air.

"Rumble, rumble..." The mountains and earth seemed to come alive, forming giant dragons that coiled and weaved. Enormous stone pillars rose continuously, and city walls made of rock began to form.

Magnificent palaces, dazzling corridors, wide streets... various buildings took shape, and finally, a majestic, grand giant city covering tens of thousands of kilometers appeared before them.

After completing the giant city, the Main Body once again used his supreme divine abilities to summon nine ten-thousand-zhang-tall mountains. He arranged them in a nine-palace, eight-trigram formation, continuously striking hand seals, covering the nine mountains with restrictions, and connecting them to form a city-protecting grand formation. Its power was so immense that even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would find it difficult to shake it in the slightest.

Golden Armor Ancestor and the others had gone from shock to numbness. Seeing the Main Body continuously display those immensely powerful supreme divine abilities, the last bit of their resentment vanished. Following such a powerful being, they were much safer in the Hong Huang. What was there to complain about?

The Main Body opened his storage space, and incredibly precious materials like Star Essence Gold, Chaos Star Gold, Kui Water Divine Iron, Black Demon Copper, and Three Light Divine Water appeared one after another.

Golden Armor Ancestor, Silver Bone Ancestor, Cold Ice Ancestor, and the others looked on with greed. These materials were difficult for even them, Grand Unity Golden Immortals, to obtain. Now, seeing the Main Body pour them out as if they were free, they felt heartbroken.

Golden hand seals appeared from the Main Body's hands, striking the Chaos Star Gold and other materials. In the void, Nine Flavors Divine Fire suddenly appeared, followed by Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Mystic Ice Cold Qi, Netherworld Sacred Spring, and others, which continuously tempered the materials.

Then, nine huge black coffins and a blood-red thousand-zhang-tall giant tower slowly formed. Both the coffins and the blood-red giant tower were covered with dense golden patterns, and golden light flashed. They were all top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasures.

The Main Body tossed the giant tower, and it landed steadily in the center of the giant city. He then placed the nine black giant coffins on the nine mountain peaks.

The blood-red giant tower was fine, but the nine black giant coffins felt strange to Golden Horn Ancestor and the others. However, since the Main Body hadn't said anything, they didn't dare to ask.

The Main Body turned around and pointed at Silver Bone Ancestor, White Stone Ancestor, Golden Armor Ancestor, Black Nether Ancestor, and Cold Ice Ancestor.

The red vertical marks on the foreheads of Silver Bone Ancestor and the others slowly transformed into golden ones. Everyone knew that from now on, besides the Main Body, these five would be in charge.

After checking the information the Main Body had sent, Silver Bone Ancestor and the others exchanged glances, their faces revealing a hint of joy. They also understood the purpose of the black giant coffins.

After finishing everything, the Main Body stepped into the red giant tower, no longer paying attention to subsequent matters.
