Chapter 414

The reason why there are so many great worlds within the Celestial Realm is quite simple: any great world outside that gives birth to immortals will, consciously or unconsciously, converge towards the Celestial Realm and eventually be incorporated into it.

And a world where immortals have never been born...

It probably no longer exists.

Standing in the passageway leading to the Heavenly Realm, Xiao Minghuang could only see a magnificent boundary wall no matter where she looked.

This is because the Celestial Realm is simply too vast. The Immortal Qi it contains has exceeded the upper limit of the material world. No Great Dao Law can contain it in the form of a mustard seed within Mount Sumeru. Therefore, the Celestial Realm continues to expand and now occupies almost two-thirds of the area that the Cosmic Great Dao can cover!

"I wonder if the fairy has heard of a rumor that once the expansion of the celestial realm exceeds the limit that the Cosmic Great Dao can cover, the celestial realm will collapse from the inside out... What a madman's ramblings..."

Beside him, Yang Di shook his head while chatting and laughing.

"Yeah yeah!"

Fang Nan laughed and said, "These are all the nonsense spouted by madmen. How could the Heavenly Realm possibly be destroyed? It's ridiculous!"

"Hehe."

Xiao Minghuang smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Neither Fang Nan nor Yang Di could understand or feel what it was like to have their world about to be destroyed.

She had experienced it not long ago.

Therefore, even if she didn't believe such words, she wouldn't scoff at them.

As they swayed closer to the Heavenly Realm, Xiao Minghuang gradually felt his own Great Dao resonating, as if it were communicating with the Great Dao of the Heavenly Realm.

524. Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom

"The Celestial Path seems to be different from other Paths in the universe?"

"It shouldn't be different..."

Yang Di pondered for a moment, then said knowingly, "This is the first time the fairy has come to the Heavenly Realm; she probably hasn't adapted yet."

"Within the celestial realm, there are countless immortals, each whose Dao Fruit is reflected throughout the heavens. As their numbers increase, they intertwine, and some narrower and more chaotic Daos are assimilated by broader and more profound Daos."

"However, fellow Daoist need not worry. This assimilation will not cause any reaction in the living. You only need to calm your mind and you will soon adapt."

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

She wasn't worried about being assimilated by other Great Daos, since her Great Dao was at the highest level, and no other Great Dao could encompass hers.

Not long after.

The three traversed the Void Tunnel and arrived at the celestial realm.

Although it is called the heavenly realm, it is actually divided into different great worlds, or heavenly kingdoms.

Within a celestial realm, the world where the Celestial Venerable resides is the primary world, while the numerous other great worlds are immortal kingdoms.

Within the Heavenly Kingdom, the world where the Celestial King resides is the primary world, while the numerous other great worlds are the Celestial Realms.

The world that Xiao Minghuang and the others arrived in was the world of the Lord of the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom.

Looking around, the entire world was a vast expanse of white, brimming with Immortal Qi, and various exotic beasts soared between heaven and earth.

Welcome to the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom!

Yang Di smiled slightly.

Xiao Minghuang nodded, looking around with considerable curiosity.

"As expected of the Celestial Realm, the Immortal Qi is like Spiritual Qi, omnipresent..."

The moment she stepped into the world of the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom, an extremely rich Immortal Qi surged into her body.

This Immortal Qi was incredibly pure, powerful, and refined, even containing wisps of golden light. Like mercury spilling onto the ground, it flowed into every meridian of her body, nourishing her flesh and making it even stronger.

In an instant, she felt her total immortal Immortal Qi increase by nearly ten percent!

You must understand that she is currently equivalent to Five Hundred Tribulation Immortal Lord. If she increases her total Immortal Qi by 10%, it is equivalent to her cultivation level increasing by nearly 50 tribulations for no reason!

And now, she has achieved this terrifying improvement without doing anything!

Yang Di also noticed this change. Having spent time together along the way, he knew that this Ziwei Fairy was exceptionally beautiful.

Although he didn't ask the other party directly, he World Patrol Order named Fang Nan.

For example, the Ziwei Fairy is the ruler of a great world called Zhongji.

The Ziwei Fairy had just undergone her tribulation not long ago, and it was a leap of hundreds of tribulations in one go, directly ascending from a mortal to the realm of a Celestial Lord!

In addition, Ziwei Fairy can withstand a level three Cosmic Storm with her own Great Dao, a dangerous act that even ordinary Immortal Kings would not dare to attempt!

Now, he saw that as soon as Ziwei Fairy entered the Heavenly Realm, she resonated with the Heaven Realm Origin, and a large amount of Immortal Qi actively poured into her body, bringing about a huge improvement.

All of this demonstrates that the path followed by Ziwei Fairy must be a supreme path ranking among the top twenty... or even the Supreme Great Dao among the top ten!

This is also the real reason why he was willing to bring Ziwei Fairy to the Heavenly Realm and even introduce her to Li Yan Immortal King!

Otherwise, wouldn't a simple thank you be enough for saving my life?

"Fairy, let's go. This place is about half a day's journey from the Yan Immortal Court. We can meet the Immortal King there, register, and receive his rewards."

Yang Di was speaking.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of golden light appeared.

Xiao Minghuang subconsciously looked up.

It was a corner of a magnificent palace, hanging high in the sky, in the center of the cosmos.

The palace seemed to be cast entirely from pure celestial gold, gleaming with a mysterious purple-gold luster. From a distance, it looked as if it were made of gold, a truly magnificent sight.

This palace hangs high in the sky, overlooking the entire continent, like an emperor to all living beings.

"That's the Heavenly Emperor Palace, don't look at it too much."

Yang Di reminded him.

"Um."

Xiao Minghuang nodded; being new to the area, caution was the best course of action.

Yang Di waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then asked in confusion, "Strange, the Heavenly Emperor Palace is located in the Supreme Heaven Realm, so why would it descend and appear?"

Just then.

Thunder roared again in the sky, followed by a mighty voice.

"Thirty-Three Heavenly Venerables, immediately proceed to the Imperial Palace to report for duty!"

The sound seemed boundless and limitless, spreading throughout the Thirty-three Heavens, every great world of the universe, and even the ears of every living being!

Heaven!

For cultivators, this term represents power and authority.

The moment that vast sound resounded.

Heavenly Venerable Palace in various locations throughout the Thirty-Three Heavens.

One after another, ancient and majestic figures rose and disappeared from the spot.

This event alarmed the Thirty-three Heavens, but for the vast majority of ordinary beings, it was only a momentary shock.

After that brief moment, everyone went back to doing what they were doing.

The same applies to Xiao Minghuang and the other two.

"Let's not concern ourselves with the affairs of the Heavenly Emperor and the other Celestial Venerables. Let's go to the Immortal King Court!"

Yang Di laughed.

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly, and the three of them flew towards the Celestial Court.

The Immortal King Court of the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom is located on the highest peak of the Li Yan Great World. It covers an area of vast size, spanning tens of thousands of miles in length and width. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the jade steps of the Immortal Platform can be vaguely seen.

Along the way, Yang Di explained the general situation within the Immortal King Court to her.

There are seventeen Celestial Lords in the Immortal King Court, each ruling over one of the seventeen regions of the Heavenly Kingdom, which are called "Heaven Realm Territory".

The many great worlds outside the main world, even those ruled by immortal lords, can only be called "immortal realms" and cannot presume to be called "heavens".

Normally, Li Yan Immortal King rarely shows himself. When the Immortal King is not present, the decision-making is carried out by the Immortal Council composed of seventeen Immortal Kings.

However, the seventeen immortal lords also have their own affairs to attend to, or they are engaged in seclusion and cultivation. It is impossible for them to gather together every time there is something to deal with. Therefore, in each era, one immortal lord is in charge of daily affairs.

However, even if someone is in charge of a celestial lord, it cannot be guaranteed that everything will be handled in a timely manner.

For example, right now.

The Li Yan Immortal King.

This is a magnificent and imposing palace complex, with palaces standing side by side, extremely grand and magnificent.

It stands in the center of heaven, radiating endless holiness and solemnity.

Deep within the Immortal King's Palace stands a magnificent and sacred palace, towering high with an ancient and weathered aura, like Primordial Era ancient temple from the primordial era, standing firm through the ages, bearing the marks of time.

It is like the only existence in the world; this is the core of the Immortal King Court.

Soon.

Xiao Minghuang and his two companions arrived near the Immortal King's Palace.

Along the way, she noticed that, unlike other large worlds in the universe, she had never encountered towns, villages, or tribal settlements.

"Most clans that produce immortals will establish their own small worlds, where they mostly live and rarely communicate with the outside world, except for paying tribute to the Immortal Tribute."

"As for those races that have never produced immortals, they will also enter the small worlds where immortals exist, so on the surface there are very few living beings."

Yang Di explained.

Xiao Minghuang nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on the Immortal King Court.

That sacred and majestic palace was the palace of the Li Yan Immortal King.

Just then.

A furious shout suddenly rang out.

"What's going on? Why isn't the barrier activated yet?!"

A deep, resonant voice, brimming with boundless rage.

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Minghuang looked up.

A group of people were gathered outside the Li Yan Immortal King. Each of them possessed extraordinary aura and was in the Immortal Path. Some of them were even at the Immortal Lord level!

The leader was a tall man, surrounded by blazing flames. He had thick eyebrows and two burning flames in his eyes, as if they were about to burst forth at any moment!

But at this moment, all of these people were blocked outside and unable to enter the palace.

Opposite them stood several guards, their expressions indifferent and unmoved.

Although they were far apart, the two seemed to be arguing.

"We have waited for years, just to register our realm's name, why won't you let us see the Celestial King!"

The man in the lead had a face full of resentment.

"I already told you, the Immortal King is in seclusion and won't see anyone. He will inform you when he emerges. Go back and wait!"

The guard rebuked him in a cold voice.

Their tone was harsh and showed no mercy; they simply kicked these people out.

Immediately, the group became agitated, but ultimately, they were wary of the Immortal King Court and dared not act recklessly, retreating while cursing.

This scene made Xiao Minghuang secretly shake her head.

"Fairy, there is no need to worry."

Yang Di said.

Immediately, he leaped forward, took out his identity token, and handed it over.
