Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
At the entrance to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, countless flying immortal artifacts and immortal birds hovered in the air, while a large number of guests lined up to enter.
Shi Yue and the others stood aboard a gleaming green flying boat, their expressions calm.
After a while, Xu Xiu flew over and said respectfully, "Senior Shi, please follow me."
Shi Yue nodded. He formed a hand seal, and the green flying boat surged forward in a flash of light, following her.
After they passed through a pale-green light gate, the view ahead suddenly opened up. They found themselves above a seemingly endless stretch of verdant mountains, rich with spiritual energy, where countless exotic birds and beasts could be seen.
The green flying boat abruptly stopped, and Shi Yue's expression darkened.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, is this how you treat your guests? You set up a formation to lure us inside?" Shi Yue sneered, his face full of disdain.
Xu Xiu was taken aback, utterly bewildered. She had no idea what Shi Yue meant.
As soon as his words fell, the world changed color. The spirit mountains abruptly vanished, replaced by an endless black desert. Howling winds swept past, and the exotic birds and beasts disappeared, replaced by hideous monsters.
"Trying to strike first? You're underestimating me." Shi Yue sneered.
A deafening rumble came from high above. Hundreds of thousands of black lightning bolts tore across the sky, hurtling toward them.
Xu Xiu was so terrified that her soul nearly fled her body. She had no chance of stopping such a powerful attack.
Shi Yunxuan and the others were also startled by the sight.
"Just a paltry trick." Shi Yue remained calm in the face of danger.
He formed a hand seal.
