The Lord gained immense advantages from the land’s environment, while the protagonist was heavily suppressed despite using Call Me and Qingming Hetong Heaven’s authority.
  • At the eastern vault, a massive Heavenly Gate is guarded by seven supreme figures and seventeen Heavenly Gate Jade Thunder Generals. The reinforcements Ming had awaited for a century were unable to leave because the Lord of Xuan Qiong had sealed them inside.

  • The armored figure attempts to approach and assist his father, the red-robed elder, but is stopped before learning the result of the divination.
