Chapter 439
This place is the core area of Ziwei Imperial Court, occupying the most majestic mountain range in the entire Ziwei Great World.
A majestic city stands atop the mountains, its walls shrouded in Immortal Light, with wisps of Auspicious Aura emanating from it, revealing the extraordinary and profound heritage of its master.
The ruler of the Ziwei Great World, the Ziwei Imperial Court, is based here.
At that moment, a celestial rainbow pierced through the sun and moon, tearing through the sky and descending upon this land.
Deep within the Middle Heaven Divine Palace.
Inside a magnificent and splendid palace.
"Um?"
A slender and exquisitely beautiful figure sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, as if she were in a deep sleep.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, which were clear and bright, sparkling with a captivating luster like crystal.
"An immortal has intruded!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The stunningly beautiful woman vanished from the palace in a flash.
The next moment.
A stunningly beautiful figure appeared in the void above the Middle Heaven Divine Palace.
Her dress fluttered, her hair flew, and her red dress accentuated her stunning beauty.
Especially her face, which was like a perfectly sculpted work of art, making one's heart flutter.
She stood in the void, her brows furrowed, looking at the strange immortal who had suddenly appeared.
"What brings you here, sir, to my Zhongji Great World?"
The stunningly beautiful woman spoke calmly.
With the current strength of the Ziwei Imperial Court, which has more than ten immortals guarding it, it is not afraid of a mere immortal.
"The Zhongji Great World? Isn't it the Purple Star Great World? Did I go to the wrong place?"
The unfamiliar immortal asked curiously, but he had never been to the Ziwei Great World before and had only heard about it secondhand, so he could not be sure.
"That's right, the Zhongji Great World is the Ziwei Great World you mentioned. It is named after the ruler of my world, who is called Ziwei."
542. The Celestial King Invades
"So, what brings you here, sir?"
"Fellow Daoist, are you not the World Lord?"
The unfamiliar immortal sized up the woman before him and asked hesitantly.
He knew that the ruler of the Ziwei Great World had only recently become an immortal, and was a woman with extremely high talent. She had subdued the Xuan Jin Great World and the Yu Ming Great World shortly after becoming an immortal, but he knew nothing else about her.
The woman before him was clearly a powerful immortal cultivator, and her tribulations must have been considerable, exceeding his own 120th tribulation. If she wasn't the World Lord, then who was she?
"I am the Dao Companion of the World Lord, and my Daoist name is Dongji."
The stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Lin Wanqiu!
She was ordered by Xiao Minghuang to govern the Eastern Pole, and thus adopted this as her Daoist name.
"So you're Fellow Daoist from the Eastern Pole! My apologies for not recognizing you!"
"My name is Yue Ling."
Upon hearing this True Immortal Yue Ling suddenly understood, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Since the World Lord is not here, I will discuss this matter with Fellow Daoist Dongji. The matter is as follows..."
He quickly explained his meaning.
"... When I witnessed that Immortal King undergoing his tribulation, I immediately sensed something was wrong. Our Cangming Star Domain isn't located at a crucial juncture in the universe. Even wandering Immortal Kings wouldn't normally come here. Even if an Immortal King were to undergo tribulation, they should choose a starfield closer to the Heavenly Realm, where the laws of the Great Dao are more prominent and suitable for tribulation. Yet that mysterious Immortal King is undergoing his tribulation in our Cangming Star Domain..."
"Since we are both in the Cangming Star Domain, we should naturally speak with one voice and be of one mind with each other. We hope to cooperate with your esteemed realm to jointly address this issue. What does Fellow Daoist Dongji think?"
"True Immortal Yue Ling said sincerely."
"Is this really true?"
Lin Wanqiu pondered for a moment, "If it is truly a Celestial King who comes here, we may find it difficult to cope. In the recent battle between Celestial Kings, they only made a slight move, yet the aftershocks alone shattered countless great worlds, and all beings below the Immortal Path perished..."
"That mysterious Celestial King is undergoing tribulation here; he shouldn't be fighting anyone, right?"
"True Immortal Yue Ling said slowly."
"Hard to say..."
A hint of apprehension flashed in Lin Wanqiu's eyes as she said solemnly, "However, no matter what, we must be prepared!"
"I would like to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to continue contacting the powerful immortals throughout the Cangming Star Domain. It is utterly impossible to fight against an Immortal King, but at least we must work together to escape this place."
"Alright, fellow Daoist, rest assured, that's exactly why I've come!"
True Immortal Yue Ling readily agreed and then turned to leave.
"Well..."
Lin Wanqiu sighed softly, looked up at the starry sky, her beautiful eyes filled with reminiscence and longing, and a stunning figure was reflected in her pupils.
"Your Highness, when will you return?"
At the same time.
Between the vast emptiness.
The golden sea of lightning surged and roared, like a raging ocean, filling the vast and boundless universe. Every drop of lightning liquid contained extremely terrifying destructive power.
Amidst this sea of golden lightning, stood a burly and imposing figure, radiating an extremely terrifying and ferocious killing intent, seemingly intent on destroying everything.
Everything around him was silent, as if even the river of time had stood still.
Suddenly, his body trembled, and he opened his eyes.
A terrifying aura erupted.
In an instant, the golden sea of lightning abruptly stopped, forcibly split in two!
Splash!
A colossal wave surged forth from the golden sea of lightning.
The burly figure stepped into the golden sea of lightning, his flesh and blood radiating a dazzling light, as if absorbing the power of the sea of lightning and becoming even stronger.
"After countless eons of silence, I have become even more powerful..."
The burly figure murmured, his face handsome, his eyes as black as ink, gleaming with a cold light, like two black gems, exuding a terrifying aura.
With a single punch, he shattered the void, causing countless golden lightning bolts to collapse. Tribulation Extinguishing Divine Light scattered in all directions, transforming into pure laws that merged into his body, nourishing him.
A terrifying aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding void to collapse inch by inch, transforming into endless black hole vortexes that devoured everything.
At this moment, the burly figure's cultivation level had stabilized at the Immortal King realm. Although it had only been a few tribulations, it was already enough to make him stand out from the crowd!
"The Immortal King Realm is far from enough..."
The burly man murmured, "In this life, I will surely seize the Immortal Sealing Scroll and suppress all enemies!"
"In this life, I will learn from my mistakes, find a stable base, develop discreetly, and avoid attracting anyone's attention..."
The imposing figure surveyed all directions, his gaze piercing through the void, finally settling within the Ziwei Great World.
"It's just a remote and barren star field, yet it contains such a beautiful and blessed place. This is it!"
Those majestic and magnificent mountains, those spiritually rich veins, and those grand and ancient city buildings... all of this is a sacred place for cultivation, a land rich in resources.
"This place is far enough from the Heavenly Court that it's perfect for me to gather my old friends, recuperate, and establish it as my base of operations!"
Although this was a remote place where the laws of the Great Dao were relatively scarce, he considered it a blessed land.
The burly figure strode out, instantly tearing through the void and heading straight for the Ziwei Great World.
The Purple Star World.
The Ziwei Imperial Court, the Middle Heaven Divine Palace.
Inside a magnificent palace, eight figures gathered together.
These eight are all powerful cultivators in the Immortal Path!
They are also qualified to participate in discussions on the policies of the Ziwei Grand World.
Five of them are now agents of the Ziwei World.
Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, Xu Xiuer, Luo Qianhua, Sheng Bailan.
The other three were also familiar figures.
The Ancestor Taiwei, the Profound Gold True Immortal, and the Penglai Earth Immortal of Penglai who recently entered the path of immortality should now be called the Penglai True Immortal.
"... Therefore, the Immortal King is undergoing his tribulation in the Cangming Star Domain. The gap between us and Him is too great; it's impossible for us to negotiate with Him, let alone confront Him."
Lin Wanqiu paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone present. "Therefore, I propose initiating an evacuation plan to take as many people as possible away from the Ziwei Great World. What do you all think?"
"Leaving the Ziwei Grand World?"
The group exchanged glances.
"Should we try contacting the Emperor?"
The Penglai True Immortal frowned and asked.
The so-called Emperor naturally refers to Xiao Minghuang.
"I've tried, but I can't get in touch with them."
Ye Ruoshui sighed softly.
Yes!
If they could contact Xiao Minghuang, why would they need to flee in such a panic?
"Just how powerful is the Celestial King? Is it really impossible for us, with the power of only one realm, to fight against him?"
Sheng Bailan asked in confusion.
"Didn't a Celestial King fall just a few days ago?"
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, you were in seclusion for a while and didn't have the chance to experience the power of a Celestial King. Let me put it this way: with just a flick of a finger, a Celestial King could instantly destroy countless worlds like our Ziwei Great World, and all beings below the Immortal Path would be doomed!"
Profound Gold True Immortal said with a wry smile, "Even immortal beings only managed to escape with their lives. If an immortal king wanted to target someone, a mere little finger would suffice!"
"Our strength is no different from that of an ant before such an existence; we are utterly powerless to resist. The only option is to hide!"
"Gentlemen, do not hesitate, make a decisive decision!"
Lin Wanqiu raised her voice and said, "Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoshui responded, "I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
"..."
Everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Lin Wanqiu glanced at everyone, nodded, and said, "Since no one has any objections, then..."
"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, you should organize the beings on all the satellites in the starry sky to prepare for evacuation."
"Fellow Daoist Xuanjin, you have organized the Xuan Jin Great World and the Yu Ming Great World..."
"Ruoshui, Xiu'er, Qianhua, Bailan, each of you organize the creatures in your respective areas and try to take away as many as possible..."
After saying this, Lin Wanqiu took a deep breath and said, "Remember, we have very little time. We'll assemble and depart in one hour!"
