Nine True Dragons Pulling the Chariot! The Immortal Realm's Foundation!

They could live for a thousand years even at the Nascent Soul stage, and those at the Deity Transformation stage could even wield the laws of heaven and earth.

Once people from the Immortal Realm made a move, it would be an absolute dimensional strike.

When that time came, these so-called God Kings probably would not even last a single exchange before the Silver Dragon King.

Hearing the Sea God's analysis, the Evil God beside him frowned as well, a trace of apprehension flashing through his eyes.

Yet just as panic began to spread through the hall.

The God of Destruction snorted coldly, and purple-black destructive intent suddenly erupted from his body.

"What are you panicking for?"

The God of Destruction strode to the round table and slammed a palm onto its surface.

"Have you all been scared witless by the heavenly screen?"

"Sea God, you're completely frightening yourself."

The God of Destruction swept his gaze around the room, his tone carrying a measure of coldness and reason.

"Think carefully about the scenes the heavenly screen showed earlier."

"That Mortal Cultivation World, especially those lofty sects—how did they treat demonic beasts?"

Hearing this, both the Shura God and the Sea God were taken aback.

The God of Destruction continued:

"In the mortal realm, that Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear comparable to a Titled Douluo was directly fitted with a collar and captured to serve as a watchdog."

"And that Nascent Soul-stage venomous flood dragon in the Chaotic Star Sea was nothing more than a beast hiding on the seafloor in seclusion."

"In that world, human cultivators were the true rulers. Demonic beasts were merely materials for their pill refinement, or mounts for travel."

The God of Destruction pointed at the light screen, a cruel sneer curling across his lips.

"At the end of the day, the Silver Dragon King is just a soul beast."

"And one with a broken body that was severely injured by Shura's sword back then, one that has yet to recover even now."

"Do you think those lofty Immortal Venerables and great powers of the Immortal Realm would kindly accept an injured demonic beast as a personal disciple?"

At those words, the atmosphere in the hall finally eased somewhat.

The Evil God stroked his chin and nodded faintly in agreement.

"Destruction has a point."

"You all saw the grandeur of that Jade Green Immortal Sect."

"When the scene flashed by earlier, the two pillars at the entrance of that immortal sect had actual true dragon bodies coiled around them as decorations!"

"They used dragons as pillars!"

"If the Silver Dragon King were transported to a place like that, forget about obtaining any opportunity."

"Under that world's cruel law of the jungle, the most likely outcome would be for her to be skinned and dismembered on the spot, then used to refine some peerless immortal pill."

"Or perhaps some immortal would casually capture her and make her a mount to pull a carriage."

The Evil God's analysis was like a calming pill for the God Kings.

That was right.

The Immortal Realm was so terrifying that even its gate pillars were made from dragons.

Whether the Silver Dragon King could survive even the first day there was an open question.

"Let's hope so."

The Shura God sat back down, but his gaze never left the heavenly screen.

"No matter what, before the result is revealed, we absolutely cannot let down our guard."

"If she truly manages to return..."

A bone-chilling killing intent flashed through the Shura God's eyes, and he did not continue.

Meanwhile.

In the deepest part of the Star Dou Forest on the Douluo Continent.

The surface of Lake of Life suddenly began to churn violently.

The once tranquil water seemed to have been brought to a boil, with countless bubbles rising to the surface.

Immediately afterward, several incomparably massive shadows shot up from the depths of the lake, sending water splashing into the sky.

They were the true rulers of the Star Dou Forest.

The Beast God Di Tian, the Emerald Swan Bi Ji, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bear Lord, and the other peerless ferocious beasts!

They normally slumbered beneath the lake or silently guarded that great being.

But the announcement on the heavenly screen had directly awakened every one of them.

Di Tian transformed into human form, dressed in a black robe of dragon scales. His golden vertical pupils were filled with anxiety and terror.

"Master!"

Di Tian roared, ignoring the light screen in the sky as he plunged headfirst into the deepest part of the Lake of Life.

Bi Ji and the others followed close behind, diving into the bottom of the lake one after another.

At the very bottom of the Lake of Life lay a vast, isolated space.

It was filled with dense life energy, and at the center of the space, a massive silver dragon lay quietly curled up, so enormous it was suffocating to behold.

The dragon's scales gleamed with dazzling silver light.

Yet upon closer inspection, those silver scales were covered in terrifying sword wounds so deep that bone was visible.

The Shura God's divine power lingered within those wounds, preventing them from healing even now.

This was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

At this moment, Gu Yuena's enormous purple eyes, which had remained shut for tens of thousands of years, slowly opened.

A trace of confusion filled her gaze.

"Master, you're awake!"

Di Tian rushed before the Silver Dragon King and dropped to his knees with a thud.

The Beast God, who had always been untouchable on the Douluo Continent, now spoke with a faint sob in his voice.

Gu Yuena had just been about to speak.

A golden pillar of light, brilliant to the extreme, suddenly ignored both the waters of the Lake of Life and the formation barrier around this space.

It descended directly from the heavens, completely enveloping Gu Yuena's enormous body!

Within that golden light, Gu Yuena felt an utterly irresistible force of spatial pull.

"Th-This... what kind of power is this?"

Gu Yuena struggled weakly, only to discover that she could not move at all.

"No! No one is taking Master away!"

At the sight, Di Tian's eyes instantly turned blood-red.

He let out an earthshaking dragon roar. His right hand abruptly transformed into a gigantic black dragon claw, carrying world-destroying force as it viciously slashed toward the golden pillar of light.

Even a Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo would not have dared to take that claw head-on.

Yet when the black dragon claw touched the golden pillar, there was no expected sound of impact.

Only a faint ripple spread across the surface of the pillar.

Then, a horrifying rebounding force surged back along the dragon claw.

"Pfft!"

Di Tian was struck as if by lightning, violently coughing up a mouthful of purple-black dragon blood.

Like a kite with its string cut, he was blasted away and slammed heavily into the stone wall behind him. No one knew how many bones throughout his body had shattered.

"Di Tian!"

Bi Ji cried out in alarm and hurried forward to cast a healing skill.

Inside the pillar of light, Gu Yuena watched the severely injured Di Tian, and a flicker of anxiety passed through her eyes.

"Di Tian, don't come over!"

The moment her words fell, the golden pillar flashed sharply.

Gu Yuena's mountain-like body vanished into thin air before the very eyes of the gathered ferocious beasts.

Only the empty underground space and the heavily wounded Di Tian remained.

On the sky screen.

The scene shifted once more.

In the vast starry skies of the Immortal Realm.

Gu Yuena only felt her vision blur as the spatial pulling force around her instantly vanished.

When she steadied herself and opened her purple eyes again, what greeted her was an enormous sect gate tens of thousands of zhang tall, entirely carved from some unknown immortal jade.

She lay alone on the boundless white jade plaza before the gate.

Immortal mist swirled around her, and the spiritual energy was so dense it seemed ready to condense into raindrops and fall.

With some difficulty, Gu Yuena raised her head and looked above the sect gate.

Four characters, radiating the aura of the supreme Great Dao, were written there.

Jade Green Immortal Sect.

Before Gu Yuena could figure out what was happening.

A set of footsteps suddenly came from within the mountain gate.

Then, a young immortal attendant in a green Daoist robe, holding a broom, slowly strolled out through the gate.

The attendant yawned, apparently having just woken up and come out to sweep the fallen leaves.

When he saw the silver dragon sprawled across the plaza, the attendant froze for a moment.

Then, not only was he not afraid, he actually frowned in disdain.

"Where did this lowly loach crawl out from?"

"The Sect Master specifically instructed us yesterday that an honored guest would be visiting today. Don't just toss these blood-reeking ingredients around the entrance."

As the attendant casually finished his complaint.

The entirety of Douluo Continent, along with the lofty Divine Realm, seemed to have been struck by a paralysis spell.

Everyone thought they had heard wrong.

Ingredients? A loach?

That was the Silver Dragon King!

Even if many people did not recognize Gu Yuena, the scene of Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts kneeling and crying out, "My Lord," had been displayed clearly on the heavenly screen moments ago.

Yet an unparalleled being whom even Di Tian, the Beast God, had to worship was merely a lowly loach meant for cooking in the mouth of this immortal attendant sweeping the floor?

Inside the Divine Realm Committee's grand hall.

The expression on Shura God's face completely froze.

He had originally been worried that the Silver Dragon King would obtain some heaven-defying opportunity after going to the Immortal Realm, then return to seek revenge against the Divine Realm.

But what was this supposed to mean?

"This immortal attendant..."

Sea God swallowed, his voice trembling slightly.

"He wants to stew Dragon God's avatar as an ingredient?"

In the image, Gu Yuena was completely stunned as well.

As the sovereign of all soul beasts, the pride ingrained in her bones would never allow her to suffer such humiliation.

A dazzling burst of seven-colored light erupted from her body.

Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space.

The seven fundamental elements frantically gathered around her, attempting to form a devastating attack.

"How dare you!"

Gu Yuena let out an enraged dragon roar. Opening her jaws, she was just about to unleash a torrent of seven-colored dragon breath.

Yet the immortal attendant holding the broom merely yawned lazily.

Without even giving Gu Yuena a proper glance, he casually waved the broom in his hand through the air.

Smack.

A soft sound rang out.

The mass of seven-colored dragon breath Gu Yuena had gathered did not even spark before it was directly scattered by a faint breeze stirred up by the broom.

Moreover, the breeze did not lose momentum and landed directly upon Gu Yuena's massive body.

Boom!

Gu Yuena felt an immense, irresistible force press down on her back.

Her body, heavier than a mountain, was actually swept by that gust of wind into several consecutive rolls across the white jade plaza.

In the end, she crashed miserably beneath a coiling dragon pillar like a fish lying belly-up.

For a moment, Gu Yuena was utterly dumbfounded.

Her violet eyes were filled with terror.

That strike had not used any soul power, nor had there been any fluctuation of divine power.

It had been pure, direct suppression by the laws of heaven and earth!

"You're so noisy."

The immortal attendant impatiently dug at his ear.

"A lowly loach that hasn't even taken human form and hasn't converted its power into immortal essence dares to yell and scream at the gates of the Jade Green Immortal Sect."

"If it weren't for the faint trace of true dragon blood in you that barely makes you suitable for medicine, I'd sweep you into a spatial rift to use as fertilizer right now."

Upon hearing the words Jade Green Immortal Sect, the people of Douluo knew that this was undoubtedly the name of that top-tier faction.

The immortal attendant carried his broom and slowly walked forward.

Only then, through the heavenly screen's close-up, did the viewers of Douluo Continent get a clear look at the immortal attendant's appearance.

He wore a faded blue Daoist robe, his lips red and teeth white. He looked no more than twelve or thirteen.

Yet the ethereal, otherworldly aura emanating from him was deeper than that of any god on Douluo Continent.

Gu Yuena struggled to rise.

But she discovered that the gravity within this immortal realm was terrifying beyond imagination.

On Douluo Continent, she could effortlessly tear through space.

Yet here, even lifting a single claw took all her strength.

The energy contained in the surrounding air was simply beyond her ability to absorb.

That energy was too advanced—so advanced that even a slight breath of it sent tearing pain through her meridians.

The immortal boy walked up to Gu Yuena and poked her dragon scales with the handle of his broom.

"Ugh, the sect's holding the Myriad Immortals Grand Ceremony in a few days, and Master just had to send me out here to sweep."

As he poked her, the immortal boy muttered under his breath.

"I finally broke through to the early True Immortal stage. I thought I could snag a position as an outer sect steward, but instead I'm still stuck sweeping this damned mountain gate."

"This loach was probably left behind by some errand disciple in charge of procurement. If an elder from the Punishment Hall sees that it dirtied the White Jade Plaza, they'll dock my immortal stones again."

Early True Immortal stage! Sweeping!

Those words passed clearly through the heavenly curtain and reached the Douluo God Realm.

Inside the grand hall of the Divine Realm Committee, there came a dull thud as something fell to the ground.

Several lofty God Kings turned to look.

They saw that Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotions, had gone deathly pale and collapsed limply onto the floor.

It was not just him. The bodies of the Shura God and the Sea God were trembling uncontrollably as well.

"A... a True Immortal?"

The God of Destruction's voice had completely changed pitch.

That elder from the Covering Moon Sect had previously said that the limit of the mortal realm was the Deity Transformation stage.

Beyond the Deity Transformation stage, one had to find a node and ascend to the spirit realm.

And above the spirit realm was the immortal realm!

This boy, who looked barely a teenager and was sweeping the ground outside the mountain gate with a broom, was actually a True Immortal who had surpassed the Deity Transformation stage by an unknown number of major realms!

And such a terrifying being, one who could instantly destroy tens of thousands of god realms in the Douluo universe, was merely a grumbling sweeper in the Jade Green Immortal Sect?

The disparity.

A despairing disparity so immense that it left one unable even to conceive of resistance instantly shattered the Dao hearts of every deity in the Douluo God Realm.

They finally understood why the heavenly curtain had sent Gu Yuena here.

This was not sending her to receive a fortunate opportunity.

This was simply delivering ingredients!

It had sent Douluo Continent's greatest combat power to the immortal's kitchen door as a piece of food.

In the scene, the immortal boy had already run out of patience.

He pulled a golden rope from his sleeve.

"Immortal Binding Rope."

With a casual toss from the immortal boy, the golden rope instantly transformed into a streak of light and bound Gu Yuena's enormous body tightly.

No matter how Gu Yuena struggled, the rope seemed to have taken root in her body, tightening more and more until even the power of her bloodline was completely sealed.

"Come on. I'll take you to the Dining Pavilion."

The immortal boy grabbed one end of the Immortal Binding Rope like he was dragging prey. Humming an unfamiliar immortal tune, he dragged the Silver Dragon King toward the inside of the mountain gate.

Just then, a bell toll that shook the nine heavens suddenly rang out from deep within the Jade Green Immortal Sect's mountain gate.

"Dong!"

The bell's chime was distant and lingering, carrying supreme Dao resonance that cleansed the soul.

As the bell rang, the previously tranquil sea of clouds in the sky instantly began to boil.

Nine five-clawed golden dragons, each more than a hundred times larger than Gu Yuena, slowly emerged from the depths of the cloud sea, pulling a jade carriage radiating hundreds of millions of rays of rosy light.

Around the jade carriage followed tens of thousands of immortal armored guards, treading upon auspicious clouds with unfathomable auras.

At the sight, the sweeping immortal boy was so frightened that he hastily threw down his broom, pulled Gu Yuena over, and knelt at the side of the road. He did not even dare lift his head.

Everyone on Douluo Continent and in the God Realm held their breath as well.

Nine true dragons pulling a carriage!

Just which heaven-reaching great power of the Jade Green Immortal Sect was seated within that carriage?
