Chapter 405

"If the Five Realms could continue, we wouldn't need to travel so far..."

"Princess Ziwei's blessings extend to all living beings; her merits are immeasurable. She is truly our reborn parent!"

Easternmost point.

The site of what was once the Holy Temple.

Today, the Imperial Court has been rebuilt on its original site, restoring its former prosperity.

The strange phenomenon that occurred in the Ziwei Mountains also alarmed the imperial court.

Imperial Court, Middle Heaven Divine City.

Inside the Middle Heaven Divine Palace, five figures stood silently.

These five figures were all women, each with a distinct temperament, yet all possessed unparalleled beauty and captivating charm, like fairies descended to earth.

These five people were none other than Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, Xu Xiuer, Luo Qianhua, and Sheng Bailan.

"A strange phenomenon has appeared in the ancient land of Ziwei; it must mean His Highness is about to emerge from seclusion!"

Ye Ruoshui looked at the distant sky with a joyful expression.

"Um."

The other four women nodded, their eyes also filled with anticipation.

Since Xiao Minghuang went into seclusion, the five of them also took turns going into seclusion. During their time in the outside world, they methodically replaced the Holy Academy and re-established their dominant position in the Eastern Pole of Zhongtian.

And it proclaimed to the world the name of the ancient imperial court.

Over the past five hundred years, the four of them have gradually broken through to the Great Perfection of Earth Immortal, and are only one step away from becoming True Immortals.

Luo Qianhua, who was originally Great Perfection Earth Immortal, has completed an important step in transforming from mortal to immortal, becoming a true immortal!

It was at that time that the Innate Osmanthus left the Five Directions One Realm.

"After Your Highness emerges from seclusion, our Five Realms should be able to fully merge and ascend to the ranks of the Heavens."

"Hopefully, this won't cause too much trouble in the future."

"I've heard that the competition among the heavens is fierce; we should prepare accordingly."

"Some time ago, the Ancestor Taiwei sent word that a World Patrol Order contacted him, saying that if the Five Directions One Realm could be integrated, a reward would be bestowed."

"Um..."

The women discussed the future with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

In the Ziwei Mountains.

Outside Xiao Minghuang's secluded cave.

The three tiny figures trembled.

"Such... such powerful pressure!"

"Oh my god! I... I can't breathe!"

"I... we'd better run, or we're doomed."

The three figures spoke in trembling voices.

However, this overwhelming and unstoppable majesty, like the void of heaven and earth, was omnipresent, making their bodies seem frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

At the same time.

Inside the cave.

Around Xiao Minghuang, everything was in a hazy, chaotic state. In the distance, one could vaguely see mysterious runes flashing, like Dao traces, outlining boundless Dao runes, containing some indescribable Dao charm.

Rumble!

In that chaotic and hazy state, a surging and turbulent power was gathering, like a volcanic eruption, and taking shape around her.

That is the power formed by the complete fusion of different Heavenly Dao Source!

"Buzz!"

As the Five Realms Source merged, Xiao Minghuang's skin, blood vessels, tendons, membranes, bone marrow, and even her soul were buzzing violently.

In an instant, her clothes were torn to shreds, revealing her delicate, fair body.

Every inch of her skin, every drop of her blood, every hair radiated a magnificent glow, breathing in and out the Heavenly Dao Source.

Every cell in her body was boiling, roaring, and bursting with brilliant light.

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang was like an ancient and eternal god, looking down upon all living beings.

Splash...

Suddenly, the surging primordial energy of the Heavenly Dao Source contracted abruptly, squeezing wildly into her body.

Instantly, mysterious symbols danced and coiled around her body, finally intertwining at the center of her brow and condensing into a dazzling Dao pattern mark.

"Call!"

Suddenly, Xiao Minghuang opened her eyes, her pupils shining with golden light, her eyes radiating divine light, like two eternal suns falling to earth, illuminating all darkness.

At this moment, she was surrounded by dazzling seven-colored light, like a goddess of glass, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

A moment later, the light went out, the strange phenomenon dissipated, and the mysterious mark between her brows disappeared into her snow-white skin, leaving no trace.

Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Fifteen hundred years..."

Since everything around her hadn't disappeared when she woke up, that means...

She succeeded!

The Five Realms Source merged.

The Five Directions One Realm are reborn!

Now, she has completely mastered the Five Realms Source and integrated them into one, and can initiate the world fusion process at any time. However, in order to avoid any living beings dying unjustly during the world fusion process, she has not started immediately.

After all, once the five realms merge, these worlds will undergo earth-shattering changes, and countless lives will be affected. Without prior preparation, there will surely be countless deaths and injuries.

Moreover, she had another, even more important thing to accomplish.

That is to absorb the Xuanjin World Source and incorporate them into the Five Directions One Realm.

However, this will have to be done after the five realms are integrated.

At this moment, although her cultivation level has not yet broken through to the Human Immortal Transformation, her actual combat strength has already far surpassed that of an ordinary True Immortal!

She had a premonition that she was not afraid of ordinary True Immortals, or even those above True Immortals!

"Let's go out first. We need to arrange manpower as soon as possible to settle the creatures in all parts of the Five Realms."

Xiao Minghuang immediately stood up and stepped out of the cave.

She had just stepped out of the cave.

What came into view were three trembling, solitary figures standing alone.

These three were none other than Xiao Qian, Li Yanlang, A Cheng, who had come seeking an opportunity.

Who are you?

Xiao Minghuang glanced at them and immediately discerned that the man with the knife was the most powerful among the three, having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, while the other man and woman were only at the Spirit Seed Realm.

While this level of cultivation wasn't exactly low, it was hardly above average either, let alone posing any threat to her.

It's obvious at a glance that he's a young member of some powerful organization, traveling far and wide in search of opportunities.

However, the fact that the three young men were able to find her in such a remote mountain forest and happen to encounter her was quite an adventure.

Moreover, Xiao Minghuang noticed that the woman in the red dress among the three seemed to have meridians that were different from ordinary people...

"... Junior Xiao Qian, I... we're here to find someone..."

Xiao Qian said weakly.

No wonder, it was simply because the fairy before her possessed such an aura of majesty and nobility that just her standing there gave her a feeling of not daring to look directly at her.

Who should I look for?

Xiao Minghuang asked calmly.

"I... I heard that Princess Ziwei, who founded the Imperial Court, lives in seclusion here, so I have taken the liberty of coming... I was born with unusual meridians, and if I do not find the right method before the age of thirty, I will be burned to death by flames..."

Xiao Qian answered, forcing herself to speak.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang was stunned.

The founder of the imperial court... Princess Ziwei?

Princess Ziwei, isn't that her?

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh? That's interesting. How about this, I've been living in seclusion for many years and don't know what year it is in the outside world. Tell me about the current situation."

"Uh... yes..."

Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that the woman in front of her, who looked like an immortal, was probably the Princess Ziwei she was looking for!

"My name is Xiao Qian, my father Xiao Zhiming, and my mother Lin Xueqing..."

After Xiao Qian's explanation, Xiao Minghuang roughly understood the current external situation.

Since the chaos among the holy lands five hundred years ago, the Holy Academy has completely ceased to exist, and many holy lands have also suffered great losses. Those that still exist have long since submitted to Xiao Minghuang's camp.

At that time, Luo Qianhua, as a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm, actually became the most outstanding existence in the entire Five Directions One Realm.

Under her leadership, an institution called "Imperial Court" was officially established on the site of the Holy Academy to manage the chaotic Central Eastern Pole World. Later, it also brought the Southern Wilderness, Western Land, and Northern Sea under its control.

Those once powerful and influential families and dynasties have all had their titles stripped and submitted to the imperial court.

Those who refused to submit, outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied the imperial court, or maintained close ties with remnants of the previous dynasty such as the Holy Academy, the Ziwei Sacred Land, and the Northern Plains Wang Clan, and who were unable to repent, were also dealt with properly.

In the Imperial Court, besides the Five Fairies, the key figures include the Earth Immortals of Penglai Earth Immortal and Earth Immortal Xuan Du.

Although Luo Qianhua and the others were strong, they had not merged with the World Source like Xiao Minghuang. The reason they were able to subdue the heroes and maintain their rule for five hundred years was not only due to their own strength and strategy, but also because of their identities.

Because they are Princess Ziwei's Dao Companion, and the agents of Princess Ziwei's will.

Therefore, no individual or force dares to openly confront it.

During this period, the five women, including Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu, took turns governing. When they were not in power, they would go into seclusion to cultivate themselves.

According to Xiao Qian, Luo Xianzi, one of the Imperial Court Five Fairies, had already transformed from a mortal to an immortal two hundred years ago, truly entering the Immortal Dao Domain.

At that time, auspicious omens descended from the sky, and strange phenomena filled the heavens, even alarming the celestial realm. Extraterrestrial visitors descended to bestow blessings.

During this period, the former Great Xia Dynasty, now the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, gradually gained its legitimate name.

According to Xiao Qian, the Great Xia officially came to an end after the death of its last emperor, or rather, its retired emperor.

The Great Xia, that is, the descendants of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, except for some elderly people who were unwilling to leave their homeland, all moved into the territory directly under the Imperial Court, and the Imperial Court and the Ziwei Divine Dynasty were completely integrated.

Furthermore, the Imperial Court Five Fairies established five divine cities in four directions within the Imperial Court's territory: the Eastern Divine City, the Southern Wilderness Divine City, the Western Land Divine City, the Northern Sea Divine City, and the Central Middle Heaven Divine City at the very center.

Xiao Qian was born in Dongji Shencheng, one of the Imperial Court Five Cities, which is also the main area where the Ziwei clan migrated.

Xiao Qian claimed that her ancestors could be traced back to the royal family of the former Great Xia Dynasty, and that she was a prince of the same generation as Princess Ziwei.

518. Delivered an important speech on the integration of the five realms.

Xiao Minghuang nodded in agreement.

Now that she has merged with the Heavenly Dao Source of the Five Realms, no cause and effect within a single realm can escape her detection. The reason she doesn't directly investigate the current situation of the Five Realms from the Heavenly Dao Source is simply because doing so might be biased.

Xiao Minghuang could naturally sense that Xiao Qian was not boasting.

Her ancestor was indeed the Sixth Prince, who lived in the same era as her.

At that time, the Sixth Prince had joined the Spirit Sword Sect and later entered the Holy Academy at the same time as her, but the gap between them grew larger and larger, and they no longer had any contact.

Now, several hundred years later, the Sixth Prince, as Princess Ziwei's direct blood brother, has naturally received great care and is now a Saint Realm expert, ruling over a region.

Xiao Qian also found her way to Ye Ruoshui through the connection of her ancestor, the Sixth Prince, but still couldn't cure her congenital incurable meridians, which is why she came to the Ziwei Mountains to try her luck.

"Since we have met, it must be fate."
