Chapter 504
Suddenly, the once peaceful Supreme Heavenly Hall began to tremble.
Five figures suddenly appeared from the void.
It was Xiao Minghuang, Longevity Heavenly Venerable, Jingyun Immortal Venerable, and the helpers invited by the latter two: the Liuli Heavenly Venerable of the Heavens and the Immortal Venerable Mimeng of the Star Domains.
"The Longevity Heavenly Venerable!"
"Jingyun Immortal Venerable!"
"Four Celestial Venerables!"
Upon seeing them, the elders immediately became solemn.
It is extremely rare for two Celestial Venerables and two Immortal Venerables to grace the Heavenly Court.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable!"
Although they were members of the Heavenly Court and held a transcendent position, they were still treated with respect by the Heavenly Venerable himself.
"No need for formalities," the Longevity Heavenly Venerable waved his hand and said, "I have come here only to discuss the matter of the change of the lord of the Fenwang Star Domain."
As she spoke, she pointed to Xiao Minghuang beside her and said, "This is the new master of the Fenwang Star Domain. You will retrieve the fragments of the Fenwang Star Domain's origin and exchange them with him."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the celestial kings changed in various ways.
"Longevity Heavenly Venerable, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
One of the Celestial Kings frowned and said, "It is true that Fenwang Immortal Venerable abandoned the land, but the change of the master of the super-large star field is a matter of great importance. It is necessary to report to the Upper Three Heavens, obtain their permission, and then inform all the heavens. Only after there are no objections can it be implemented. How can we change the position so hastily? I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people!"
"Yes, it shouldn't be that fast; it's against etiquette!"
The other Celestial Kings echoed this sentiment.
They weren't deliberately delaying.
However, the rules of the Heavenly Court are fixed, and even the Three Heavenly Venerables will not change them at will.
Upon hearing this, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable frowned and said coldly, "We have already discussed this matter. I will personally carry it out. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be killed without mercy!"
Boom!
As she uttered that word, the entire Heavenly Court seemed to tremble.
An immense pressure enveloped every corner of the Heavenly Court, causing all the Celestial Kings to tremble violently.
Especially the immortal king closest to the Celestial Venerable of Longevity Heavenly Venerable, whose pupils suddenly contracted and whose hair stood on end, sensed the aura of death.
The majesty of the Heavenly Venerable cannot be disobeyed!
"Since the Celestial Venerable insists, we have no choice but to obey."
One of the celestial kings stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Please follow me."
Having said that, he turned and flew towards the depths of the palace.
Xiao Minghuang and Longevity Heavenly Venerable exchanged a glance and immediately followed.
Jingyun Immortal Venerable and the others were waiting there.
Soon, they entered a long corridor.
At the end of the long corridor was a huge bronze gate.
Behind the bronze gate lies a dark passageway.
The Celestial King pushed open the bronze gate and went straight inside.
Xiao Minghuang and the Longevity Heavenly Venerable followed closely behind.
"This is..."
After passing through the passageway, a magnificent palace came into view.
However, the palace was surrounded by layers of restrictions, preventing divine sense from probing it.
The Celestial King extended his index finger and pressed it onto a rune. With a 'click' sound, the gate opened automatically.
He gestured for the two women to enter.
Xiao Minghuang and the Longevity Heavenly Venerable stepped into the main hall.
The main hall was spacious and boundless, spanning several hundred feet in circumference. Its four walls were entirely cast from divine gold, radiating a cold and chilling metallic luster and exuding a profound solemnity.
Inside the main hall, countless crystal cabinets were displayed, a dazzling array of items that shimmered with magnificent light.
"Is the primordial fragment of the Fenwang Star Domain here?" Xiao Minghuang asked.
"Good."
The Celestial King nodded slightly, then walked towards a crystal cabinet.
Xiao Minghuang looked closely and saw a fist-sized, crimson stone radiating a fiery aura. Its streamlined shape resembled a heart, which was constantly beating.
"Fragments of the Fenwang Star Domain's Origin".
The Celestial King then stepped aside.
"Finally..."
Xiao Minghuang's eyes were burning with intensity. With a wave of his hand, a suction force burst forth from his palm, directly grabbing the crimson stone.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, a ball of flames surged around her body.
The flame, hemispherical in shape, enveloped her body, making her appear as if she had transformed into a blazing sun.
Then, she opened her eyes, and two beams of fire shot out.
"Buzz~~~~"
In an instant, the hemispherical flame suddenly contracted, coalescing into a wisp of fire that merged into Xiao Minghuang's body.
"Whoosh~~"
The temperature around Xiao Minghuang rose sharply, and a faint crackling sound could be heard, as if thunder was breaking or a volcanic eruption was bursting forth, seemingly containing destructive power.
At the same time.
Within her little world.
A ball of crimson flame hung high in the sky.
It is a semi-spherical shape, radiating intense golden light, with a diameter of about 100 zhang. It is completely transparent, and contains wisps of crimson flames inside, resembling a heart.
It was a fragment of the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the primordial fragment of the Fenwang Star Domain trembled slightly, releasing a peculiar fluctuation.
In an instant, the small world within Xiao Minghuang's body began to boil, with an endless sea of fire churning and surging like a fiery tide.
The primordial fragments of the Fenwang Star Domain seemed to have been activated, releasing a vast and pure Immortal Dao Origin.
"Buzz!"
A wisp of Immortal Dao Origin emanated from the fragment of the primordial source, flowing through Xiao Minghuang's body and gradually permeating her flesh, bones, and soul.
"Laugh!"
She was bathed in a crimson glow, her skin translucent and radiant, as if carved from jade.
At the same time, the original fragments of the Fenwang Star Domain were completely destroyed and merged into her body.
"Call--"
Xiao Minghuang opened her eyes, and a burst of flame shot out from her pupils, instantly illuminating the entire hall.
"How?"
The Longevity Heavenly Venerable asked the question.
"I have mastered the fragments, but I still need to fuse them with the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain... I must leave for a while!"
She spoke slowly.
After saying that, she turned and left.
Seeing this, the Immortal King hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, have you not yet left behind any new fragments of your origin?"
"No need!" said the Longevity Heavenly Venerable. "A great calamity is approaching; you should think more about your own future!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
She followed closely behind.
Soon.
The two returned to the Heavenly Palace.
"How?"
"Now that I have the fragment, I need to return to the Fenwang Star Domain to fuse it with the origin. It might... take quite some time."
Upon hearing this, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable frowned and asked, "But what about the Wuji Heavenly Venerable?"
Xiao Minghuang knew that Ye Ruoshui and the other four women were still in the hands of Wuji Heavenly Venerable. If she did not go to rescue them in time, things might change.
However, her current cultivation level is not high enough to challenge several Celestial Venerables at the same time. She must merge with the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain before she can advance to the Immortal Venerable level.
However, merging with the origin is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it could take anywhere from several decades to several thousand, or even tens or hundreds of thousands of years!
"This..."
After pondering for a moment, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable suggested, "We can negotiate with the Wuji Heavenly Venerable and the others, exchanging Wushang and the other four for Miss Ye and the others."
After all, they had four Celestial Venerables present, so they were not afraid of Wuji Heavenly Venerable and the others.
"This is the only option for now."
Xiao Minghuang responded.
At this moment, no one is going to the Wuji Heaven Realm.
The Wuji Heaven Realm.
Wuji Heaven Palace.
Three figures gathered inside the main hall.
These were none other than Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue, Heavenly Venerable Lingguang, and Fufeng Heavenly Venerable.
In addition, there was a Celestial King standing respectfully at the bottom of the steps.
"What's going on? Where is Fellow Daoist Wuji? This is clearly his territory, why doesn't he even show his face?"
Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue looked at the Immortal King below the steps and questioned him.
The Celestial King lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to the Three Celestial Venerables, His Majesty is in seclusion and cultivating, and I'm afraid... he won't be able to come and greet you."
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue's expression immediately darkened considerably.
"How dare you treat us with such contempt!"
"What a magnificent Wuji!"
Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue snorted angrily and was about to leave.
"Gentlemen, please calm down."
Fufeng Heavenly Venerable advised, "Enough. Although that Ziwei Immortal King has some talent, he's just an Immortal King. The three of us can handle it. Fellow Daoist Wuji, perhaps something has delayed you..."
"Besides, isn't his Chaos Wuji Immortal Mirror still in your hands? Why worry about him staying out of it?"
"Snort!"
Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue snorted coldly, but ultimately did not continue his attack.
He was certainly aware that the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure and the Heavenly Venerable were inextricably linked by karma, and since the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure was in his possession, there was no need to worry too much.
"Judging by the days, the Ziwei Immortal King should be arriving soon."
"Everyone, I've heard that the Ziwei Immortal King has a close relationship with the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable. Could she be seeking help from these two?"
