The Hongyuan Dimension.
This was an incomparably radiant, prosperous, and vast Ninefold Fusion Dimension.
It had flourished for over a trillion epochs. Taboo Life beings stood in Outer Heaven, looking down upon the endless mortal worlds.
At the far northern reaches of Outer Heaven lay the Ancestral Court of the Hongyuan Heavenly Court.
Countless mountains rose and fell here, each towering beyond measure. The light of the Great Dao blanketed the heavens and earth, and endless Dao laws filled all directions.
Dao Ancestor-grade Qilin raced about, Dao Ancestor-grade Phoenixes spread their wings and soared, Dao Ancestor-grade Golden Crows shone like blazing suns, and Dao Ancestor-grade True Dragons lurked in the depths...
Great numbers of Dao Ancestor-grade divine beasts roamed the mountains. All manner of Dao Ancestor-grade and even Dao-Treading Grade god medicines bloomed with auspicious radiance, yet here in the Ancestral Court, they seemed utterly ordinary.
Whoosh—
A streak of divine light flew over from the unimaginably distant central region of Outer Heaven.
"Halt!"
Two vast mountains shook, stones tumbling away as two enormous, terrifying giants revealed themselves.
Both giants held long halberds, Taboo Grade auras emanating from their bodies. Their enormous eyes gazed coldly down at the streak of divine light.
"Wangkong, deputy director of the Heavenwatch Bureau, requests an audience with the director."
An old man dressed in luxurious Daoist robes appeared within the divine light and spoke calmly.
No aura emanated from him, but as his gaze swept across them, it carried traces of the majesty of a Dao-wielding-level Taboo Life being!
"Wait here."
The two giants spoke in unison.
The next moment—
One giant raised his hand, sending a brilliant ray of light into the countless mountains behind him, where it vanished.
Nearly half a day passed.
"You may enter."
"No clamor within the Ancestral Court!"
