Accompanied by a bell toll that shook the nine heavens.
Nine colossal five-clawed golden dragons, so immense they defied description, pulled a jade carriage radiating boundless rosy light as it slowly emerged from the depths of the sea of clouds.
Each golden dragon was more than tens of thousands of zhang long, like an endless range of golden mountains.
Their bodies were covered in dazzling scales as if cast from pure gold, each one flowing with profound immortal runes.
Their whiskers drifted in the wind, easily tearing through space itself.
Behind those nine golden dragons, tens of thousands of immortal armored soldiers clad in silver armor stood upon auspicious clouds, guarding both sides in perfect formation.
Such grandeur, such majesty.
With only a glance through the heavenly screen, countless birds and beasts across the Douluo Continent collapsed helplessly to the ground, unable even to raise their heads.
These were true dragons of the Immortal Realm!
Douluo God Realm.
Inside the main hall of the Divine Realm Committee.
"Clang!"
The Sea God's golden trident slipped from his grasp and fell directly to the floor with a crisp crash.
Yet he remained like a wooden statue, making no move to pick it up.
The Sea God's mouth hung open as he stared blankly at the nine dragons pulling the carriage within the light screen.
The God of Destruction and the Shura God had risen directly from their seats, their faces filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible..."
Even the Shura God's voice trembled.
When the Dragon God had wreaked havoc back then, they had experienced it firsthand.
As the ancestor of soul beasts, the Dragon God's pure draconic pressure had once made the entire Divine Realm tremble.
Yet now, any one of the five-clawed golden dragons pulling that carriage in the light screen—
The aura it radiated and the purity of its dragon bloodline were hundreds, even thousands of times more terrifying than the Dragon God at his peak!
"Using true dragons stronger than the Dragon God to pull a carriage?"
"And there are nine of them?"
The Evil God swallowed hard, feeling his entire worldview suffer a devastating blow.
In the Douluo God Realm, the Dragon God had been a world-ending enemy whom their five God Kings could only barely defeat by joining forces.
Yet in that so-called Jade Green Immortal Sect—
Beings of that level were only fit to serve as laborers pulling a carriage at the front!
Just who was sitting inside that carriage?
Within the scene, the immortal child servant who possessed True Immortal cultivation was currently dragging Gu Yuena, who had been bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, as he knelt obediently at the edge of the white jade plaza.
The immortal child's forehead was pressed to the ground, and he did not even dare breathe too loudly.
The jade carriage slowly came to a stop in midair.
A fairy dressed in white palace robes stepped out from beside the jade carriage, walking upon the clouds. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with an aloof and ethereal bearing untouched by mortal dust.
With merely a casual glance downward, the surrounding air seemed to freeze solid.
"Immortal Venerable will emerge from seclusion today and hold the Myriad Immortals Grand Ceremony within the sect."
"Why is it so noisy outside the mountain gate?"
The white-robed fairy's voice was ethereal and melodious, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.
The immortal child shuddered violently in fright and hurriedly raised a hand to point at the motionless Gu Yuena beside him.
"Reporting to the Immortal Envoy, it is a loach that somehow ran up here from some lower-realm plane."
"It was shouting and making a commotion here, disturbing the immortal carriage."
"This disciple will deal with her immediately. I would never dare disrupt Immortal Venerable's enjoyment."
Hearing the immortal child's answer, the white-robed fairy followed his finger with her gaze, her eyes lingering briefly on Gu Yuena's enormous silver body.
"Oh?"
The fairy let out a soft sound of surprise, her delicate brows lifting slightly.
"There are traces of weak spatial laws and elemental power within her body."
"Though her bloodline is unbearably mixed and she has not even converted the lowest-grade immortal spiritual energy, she can barely pass as a dish to accompany wine."
The white-robed fairy nodded slightly, her tone as casual as if she were selecting a cabbage at a market.
"Immortal Venerable has just emerged from seclusion. Tonight's Myriad Immortals Banquet happens to be lacking a proper serving of dragon liver."
"I'll take this loach to the Dining Pavilion."
These seemingly ordinary exchanges shattered the defenses of countless soul beasts across Douluo Continent.
Deep within Star Dou Forest.
The heavily wounded Beast God Di Tian lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he desperately tried to rise.
"No... my lord!"
That was the faith of their soul beast race—the noble Silver Dragon King!
And now she was going to be dragged to the Dining Pavilion, have her belly cut open, and her dragon liver taken to make a dish to accompany wine?
The humiliation made Di Tian want nothing more than to charge into the heavenly screen and fight to the death.
But he could not even move.
Within the Divine Realm Committee.
Shura God and the others had turned ashen-faced as well.
They had previously thought Gu Yuena might obtain some opportunity there and return to take revenge on the Divine Realm.
Now, it seemed they had truly overthought things.
In that higher-dimensional Immortal Realm, even those who guarded gates and swept floors were True Immortals, while the beasts pulling carriages were all top-tier true dragons.
If Gu Yuena went there, she really would be nothing more than a dish on the table!
On the screen, after hearing the white-robed fairy's words, the immortal attendant kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed respectfully.
"To become Immortal Venerable's meal is a blessing that this loach cultivated over eight lifetimes."
At the mention of the words "Immortal Venerable," the immortal attendant's eyes brimmed with fervor and reverence.
It was not just him. The thousands upon thousands of immortal armored soldiers around him all revealed expressions of incomparable admiration.
The white-robed fairy also let out a soft sigh, deep awe appearing on her flawless face.
"Yes."
"Immortal Venerable is the founding patriarch of our Jade Green Immortal Sect."
The white-robed fairy seemed to be speaking to the immortal attendant, yet also seemed to be talking to herself.
"Thirty thousand years ago, extraterrestrial heavenly demons launched a massive invasion, and the living beings of the Immortal Realm suffered untold devastation."
"Immortal Venerable merely drew his sword once."
"He wiped out hundreds of millions of heavenly demons along with that entire starfield, quelling the chaos of the Three Realms."
"One hundred thousand years ago, the Immortal Realm was in turmoil."
"Immortal Venerable single-handedly suppressed countless supreme beings within a single day, killing until all races of the Immortal Realm bowed their heads in submission."
"Now, after he has secluded himself for ten thousand years, he emerges from seclusion today. The starfields of the entire Immortal Realm will tremble because of it."
The white-robed fairy did not deliberately raise her voice.
Yet to the people of Douluo Continent, her words were no different from thunder that split heaven and earth.
Within Shrek Academy.
Tang San stumbled and directly staggered back two steps.
Erasing an entire starfield with one sword strike?
Suppressing twelve supreme beings within a single day?
Though he had no idea how powerful those twelve people were, they certainly sounded like existences he could only look up to.
And figures of that caliber had been casually suppressed before this Immortal Venerable named Su Yuqing?
"This is no longer a person. This is simply the incomprehensible laws themselves."
Yu Xiaogang slumped onto the ground, muttering blankly.
Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's jade hand gripping her scepter had long since lost all color.
Her ambition of unifying the continent now seemed so laughable before these casually spoken legends.
Before the power capable of flattening even starfields with a single sword strike.
What were Spirit Hall and the two great empires? They did not even amount to a slightly larger speck of dust.
Just as all of Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm trembled to their souls in fear at Su Yuqing's legends.
On the screen, the white-robed fairy flicked her jade hand, and Gu Yuena's enormous body rose uncontrollably into the air before being taken into her sleeve.
"Set out. Return to the main peak to welcome Immortal Venerable."
The white-robed fairy turned and walked back beside the jade carriage.
The nine five-clawed golden dragons let out delighted dragon roars and pulled the jade carriage toward the mountain gate.
At that very moment, from the deepest part of the Jade Green Immortal Sect—from the end of that endless sea of stars—came a long, lingering sigh.
"Alas..."
The sigh was not loud. It sounded very young, even carrying a trace of laziness.
Yet it ignored distance, ignored space, and even ignored the barrier of the heavenly curtain.
As though it had crossed an endless river of time, it exploded directly within the minds of every living being on Douluo Continent and in the Divine Realm!
With just that single sigh, countless soul masters on Douluo Continent suddenly felt their blood and qi surge in their chests.
The somewhat weaker soul beasts fainted on the spot.
Yet the most direct impact fell upon the Douluo God Realm high above the nine heavens.
Crack!
The indestructible dome of the Divine Realm Committee, reinforced by generations of God Kings—
At the instant that sigh arrived, terrifying cracks as dense as a spiderweb appeared out of nowhere!
Shura God, Sea God, God of Destruction, and the other five supreme God Kings seated within the great hall—
All felt an immense pressure descend upon them.
Pfft!
In an instant, all five God Kings let out muffled groans and spat out great mouthfuls of golden divine blood!
The sigh gradually faded away.
Yet the shock it left behind in Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm seemed branded into their very souls, impossible to erase for a long time.
Within the image, the white-robed fairy shed her usual cold detachment. With utmost reverence, she bowed deeply toward the direction of the main peak.
Then, with a sweep of her sleeve—
A ball of gentle immortal light wrapped around Gu Yuena, who was tightly bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, and flew straight through the sect gates.
After a brief spatial shift, Gu Yuena suddenly felt her vision open up.
When she saw the sight before her clearly, unprecedented confusion and shock instantly surged into her enormous violet eyes.
How was this a sect?
This was clearly a vast, boundless independent universe!
There was no azure sky like that of Douluo Continent.
When she looked up, all she saw was a vast river of stars, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to keep her eyes open.
Countless enormous stars slowly revolved across the heavens along some profound trajectory, radiating gentle light that illuminated the entire Jade Green Immortal Sect.
"Gulp..."
Gu Yuena swallowed with difficulty.
She discovered that those things floating in the sky were not mountains at all.
They were enormous floating continents!
Each continent was filled with endless stretches of immortal pavilions.
The continents were connected by bridges of starlight, condensed entirely from pure starry radiance.
From time to time, immortal birds more than ten times larger than her leaped out from the river of stars, sending ripples outward that contained the laws of the Great Dao.
Through the heavenly curtain, the people of Douluo Continent also witnessed this mythological scene.
Star Dou Forest.
The severely injured Di Tian leaned against a stone wall, unable to say a word.
He had always believed that Star Dou Forest was vast, a paradise for all soul beasts.
But compared to any random floating continent within this immortal sect—
The entirety of Douluo Continent was likely not even as large as one of their gardens.
The white-robed fairy rode upon an auspicious cloud, bringing Gu Yuena through the floating continents.
Supported by an invisible force, Gu Yuena could only watch helplessly as one scene after another swept past below her.
Before long, they passed through a valley dedicated to cultivating spiritual herbs.
Within the valley, several disciples dressed as servants were watering the plants with ladles.
Gu Yuena's gaze happened to fall upon an unidentified wild grass growing beside the valley path.
The grass had nine leaves. Its entire body was a crystalline emerald green, while faint rings of life energy encircled its blades.
The instant she saw that grass clearly, Gu Yuena's pupils abruptly contracted.
That is... the origin of life?!
A tempestuous wave rose within her heart.
As the Silver Dragon King, her perception of the aura of life was extraordinarily keen.
She could clearly sense the life energy contained within that wild grass growing by the roadside, without even an array protecting it.
It was actually richer than the life essence accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years in the Lake of Life within the Star Dou Forest!
If she could eat that blade of grass—
Even just one leaf—then the wounds Shura God had inflicted on her all those years ago would instantly recover completely!
Such a divine treasure would absolutely make every god on Douluo Continent fight until their heads bled.
Yet the scene that followed nearly broke Gu Yuena's composure.
A menial disciple walked past carrying a bucket of water.
He glanced at the nine-leaf grass and frowned.
"This damned Nine-Leaf Dandelion—why has it grown onto the main road again?"
"This kind of weed reproduces far too quickly. If it sucks up the nutrients from those nearby first-grade immortal spirit herbs, the steward senior brother will skin me alive."
The menial disciple grumbled as he casually gave it a tug.
That divine grass containing terrifying vitality was uprooted just like a useless foxtail weed.
Then, the menial disciple whistled.
From the grass nearby, an immortal beast that looked like a little pig came running out.
The menial disciple casually tossed that nine-leaf divine grass in front of the little pig.
"Eat up, eat up. Fatten yourself up. In a few days, during the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals, the steward from the Dining Pavilion will come pick out a few fat pigs to roast."
The little pig snorted and rooted around, then chewed up and swallowed the grass in just a few bites.
What was more, after eating it, the little pig began to faintly emit an aura no weaker than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena felt dizzy.
Weed.
Pig feed.
The source of life she regarded as sacred, the thing she relied on to heal her wounds, was actually nothing more than an irritating weed in this Jade Green Immortal Sect—a feed crop for roast pigs!
That enormous disparity in understanding was even more unbearable than killing her outright.
Meanwhile, in the Douluo God Realm.
The Life Goddess watched the light screen, her green eyes filled with bitterness as well.
As a God King who controlled the laws of life, she naturally recognized the value of that grass.
"If I could obtain that grass..."
The Life Goddess murmured.
But she quickly fell silent.
Because she realized that, as a God King, she would probably only be fit to raise pigs in this immortal sect.
Perhaps even that pig ate better than she did.
The white-robed fairy continued flying onward with Gu Yuena.
The deeper they went into the sect, the more despairing the things Gu Yuena saw became.
