"What an incredibly dense concentration of spiritual energy!"
"Where is this place? A Secret Realm? A Blessed Land? How is this possible? How could any Blessed Land have spiritual energy so much denser than the Main World!?"
The young man looked around and took a deep breath, sensing the strength of the spiritual energy all around him. Shock filled his face. But when he saw the Archaic Divine Mountains and Giant Trees in the distance, his expression turned blank with disbelief.
His mind reeled!
He couldn't believe it!
He was completely stunned, his mind a total blank, buzzing as if he were questioning everything he knew about the world. His lips moved, but for a long time he couldn't get a word out.
A Secret Realm?
A Blessed Land?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The trees here were so enormous their tops couldn't be seen, let alone the mountain ranges that looked like Immortal Mountains. The Main World couldn't compare, much less any of its Minor Worlds.
"Have I ended up in another world?"
"Damn it! How am I supposed to get back?"
After a long while, the young man finally came to his senses. His expression changed, and he turned around. When he saw that the Space Tunnel had vanished, his heart sank.
"Senior, where do you think we are? What should I do now?"
The young man took a deep breath and tried to steady himself before asking quietly.
Buzz!!!
The Blood-red Bead in the young man's sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and an Illusory and Aged Figure appeared beside him. He looked around. The old man, too, fell into deep thought, as if he were beginning to question everything he knew about the world.
"Don't ask me. I've lived for tens of thousands of years and never experienced anything like this. If I'm not mistaken, this must be a world of an extremely high level. Qing Boy, your luck is poor. A powerful being is coming!"
The Illusory and Aged Figure spoke slowly, his voice filled with confusion and bewilderment. As he spoke, he seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his gaze toward the void.
Rumble!!!
The boundless Sea of Blood surged with deafening roars, as if Milky Way Water were pouring down from the heavens.
Vast clouds of mist gathered into endless rosy light, as though brilliant divine radiance illuminated the Eternal Sky.
Boundless phenomena appeared, and countless wonders unfolded. In an instant, one Primordial Great Power after another appeared in the void.
Every one of them was in the Quasi-Sage Realm, and there were more than several hundred!
"Minghe."
When they saw Minghe, even the Three Pure Ones and the others changed expression slightly, their eyes growing solemn.
His aura seemed unchanged, yet he gave off an unfathomable and dangerous feeling. Had he gained some kind of opportunity?
"Where is the Heavenly Court?"
The Great Powers looked up at the void, confusion flashing in their eyes.
Whenever an opportunity appeared, the Heavenly Court was always there. This time, no one had come. That was quite unusual.
"So many powerful beings. So many!"
On the ground, the young man was already gasping. The auras of the Primordial Great Powers in the void made his mind tremble. Even from far away, even sensing only a trace of them, he felt as if he were facing the whole world and could perish at any moment.
As for the Illusory and Aged Figure, the moment the Primordial Great Powers arrived, he had returned to the Blood-red Bead in the young man's sea of consciousness.
"Qing Boy, we're doomed."
The old man's voice was full of bitterness.
"..."
The young man.
Please, don't say it. I already know.
With a multitude of auras locking him down, the young man could barely move. Those vast, oceanic auras, and the phenomena that accompanied the Great Powers' arrival, were completely beyond his imagination and knowledge.
Just how powerful did they have to be to wield such terrifying might? Could the strongest being in his world do this? The young man's mind stalled.
"Get lost. Who told you to meddle in this?"
In the void, Minghe shot a cold glance at Mosquito Daoist among the crowd.
"..."
Mosquito Daoist.
Just you wait! Just wait!!! I've already won the favor of a Chaos Demon God. I'll repay this humiliation one day!
Seething inwardly, Mosquito Daoist turned and left without showing any emotion.
He knew when to back down.
"Strange."
Watching Mosquito Daoist leave, Minghe furrowed his brow slightly, a suspicion stirring in his heart.
After a moment, Minghe withdrew his gaze and set those thoughts aside for now. His expression calm, he looked at the Great Powers gathered around him. "I am the Heavenly Court's commander, and I have come under the Heavenly Emperor's decree to escort this man to an audience. The Heavenly Court claims him. Does anyone object?"
Buzz!!!
Clang!!!
As he spoke, Yuantu and Abi, the two swords of slaughter, appeared beside Minghe. The Asura Blood Fiend Banner appeared behind him, and the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus emerged beneath his feet. Fierce killing intent and a terrifying aura burst forth at once.
Though restrained, even that sliver of power shook the surrounding void. Earth, Wind, Water, Fire seemed to erupt, and a boundless Minor World seemed to evolve and take shape with a single thought. It was as if he carried the power to destroy all worlds; his aura of destruction made every Great Power draw a sharp breath.
"The Heavenly Court."
"Minghe actually joined the Heavenly Court?"
"With his arrogant nature, he's willing to serve someone else?"
"What methods did Di Jun use?"
"Hiss..."
"Are they trying to gather all the top Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness?"
"How did they manage to recruit them!?"
Hearing Minghe's words, the Primordial Great Powers' pupils contracted and their expressions changed. Though they managed to keep their composure on the surface, a storm raged within them. One after another, they drew in a quiet breath as countless thoughts raced through their minds.
"Since the Heavenly Emperor is interested, so be it. Congratulations, Your Majesty, on gaining someone from an Alternate Plane."
Junti spoke slowly.
The Purple Mansion hadn't appeared, and unless the other factions formed an alliance, how could they possibly stand against the Heavenly Court? They had no choice but to agree. What could they do, object?
"Congratulations on joining the Heavenly Court, Daoist Brother."
"Congratulations on joining the Heavenly Court, Daoist Brother."
One after another, the Primordial Great Powers offered their congratulations. Then, their expressions blank, they departed.
A single statement had cowed all sides!
Not one dared to compete!
This was the Heavenly Court's might—its overwhelming might and pressure!
"The Heavenly Court? A court under the heavens? What incredible authority. They've cowed everyone so thoroughly that not one dared to snatch him away."
The young man clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Come with me."
Seeing the others leave, Minghe waved away his Magic Treasures and looked at the young man, speaking calmly.
Without waiting for the young man to answer, Minghe took him straight back to the Heavenly Realm.
Purple Mansion, Qing Hua Palace.
East King Duke, who had been cultivating, seemed to sense something. He immediately opened his eyes and looked toward the void.
Buzz!!!
Ripples spread through space, and Zhen Yuanzi emerged from the void with Mosquito Daoist.
"Mosquito Daoist?"
East King Duke's eyes flickered as he looked at Mosquito Daoist.
"Greetings, Daoist Brother."
Mosquito Daoist immediately bowed.
"The lords hold Daoist Mosquito in high regard. They have already given him many insights and resources. He also cultivates the Way of Slaughter, so his strength will improve quickly. Daoist Mosquito will join us in this campaign against the Heavenly Court. Does Your Highness have any objections?"
Zhen Yuanzi looked at East King Duke and spoke calmly.
