Empress Jiang Ascends to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Di Xuan Descends Upon the North Sea!

Central Palace Hall.

After Empress Jiang refined the Yellow Center Plum, her cultivation realm instantly advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Afterward, Empress Jiang's cultivation continued to soar at an astonishing speed.

Heavenly Immortal Realm...

True Immortal Realm...

Mystic Immortal Realm...

Golden Immortal Realm...

Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Realm...

After Empress Jiang's cultivation reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, the rate of its ascent slowed somewhat.

Time slowly passed.

Who knew how long had gone by before Empress Jiang slowly opened her eyes.

After being cleansed by the medicinal power of the supreme-grade innate spiritual root, the Yellow Center Plum, Empress Jiang's body had become flawless and perfect!

At this moment, Empress Jiang looked more than ten years younger than before. Transformed by the Yellow Center Plum, her beauty had become even more breathtaking and captivating.

After breaking through to the great perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, Empress Jiang's entire bearing had become incomparably noble, displaying boundless elegance!

Empress Jiang came before Di Xin. Di Xin nodded and said, "Mm, not bad!"

Empress Jiang said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I feel as though my entire body is brimming with endless power."

"Moreover, it seems I possess an ability that allows me to see everything in Chaoge City without even leaving."

Di Xin said, "Empress, you are now at the great perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm."

"As for the ability you mentioned, that is your divine sense."

Empress Jiang asked, "Your Majesty, what is divine sense?"

Di Xin said, "Empress, divine sense is a cultivator's own will—a capability to perceive the outside world through one's Primordial Spirit."

After Di Xin's explanation, Empress Jiang finally understood completely.

"So this is a cultivator's Primordial Spirit!"

Empress Jiang looked at Di Xin again and asked, "Your Majesty, what is your cultivation realm?"

At this moment, Empress Jiang had many questions in her heart.

Di Xin said, "Great Perfection Quasi-Saint!"

Empress Jiang asked, "Great Perfection Quasi-Saint? Is that higher or lower than my cultivation realm?"

Di Xin said, "One major realm higher than yours."

Seeing that Empress Jiang knew nothing about cultivation, Di Xin explained the cultivation realms, the grades of cultivation techniques, the grades of magical treasures, and more to her...

Empress Jiang listened to Di Xin's explanation of cultivation as though intoxicated.

When Di Xin finished, Empress Jiang's horizons had been broadened, and the gate to cultivation—a gate she had never encountered before—had opened wide before her.

Empress Jiang asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange things for Jiao'er and Hong'er?"

Di Xin said, "Empress, there is no need for you to worry."

"I will personally prepare the finest cultivation techniques and cultivation resources for Jiao'er and Hong'er."

Upon hearing this, Empress Jiang nodded.

At this moment, Di Xin was considering whether he should tell Empress Jiang about the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

Seeing Di Xin deep in thought, Empress Jiang did not speak.

A moment later, Di Xin came back to his senses.

Di Xin said, "Empress, cultivate diligently. When the time comes, I will send you whatever resources you need."

Empress Jiang nodded. "Mm."

Afterward, Di Xin left the Central Palace.

Primordial World, Buzhou Mountains.

Di Chen's figure appeared in the Buzhou Mountains.

The Buzhou Mountains had been formed from the body of the demon god Pangu, and within the mountain range lay countless immortal mountains and hidden realms.

Within the Buzhou Mountains, Di Chen found many cultivation resources.

Di Xiao and Di Xuan, meanwhile, had gone separately to the Eastern Victory Divine Continent and the North Sea.

In ancient times, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi led the Demon Race army into a great battle against Eastern Duke's Heavenly Court.

In that battle, Eastern Duke's Heavenly Court was destroyed, while the Demon Race army suffered countless casualties.

The Heavenly Court established by Eastern Duke had been located on Penglai Immortal Island, one of the Three Immortal Islands.

On Penglai Immortal Island stood the Yellow Center Plum, one of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots of the Primordial World.

After the Heavenly Court was destroyed, Yuanshi Tianzun took the opportunity to claim the Yellow Center Plum for himself.

After Eastern Duke's Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Western Queen Mother returned to Jade Pool Paradise in Western Kunlun.

Meanwhile, Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island vanished without a trace after the Heavenly Court's destruction.

Over the vast East Sea, Di Xiao flew through the boundless void in search of Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island.

At the same time, above an unnamed island in the North Sea, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Di Xuan stood in the void, his powerful Primordial Spirit sweeping across the entire North Sea.

In an instant, Di Xuan's Primordial Spirit discovered the Great Shang Dynasty's army.

Grand Preceptor Wen had led an army of one hundred thousand to the North Sea to quell the rebellion.

No news had returned to Chaoge all this time. Di Xuan had come to see just who was stirring up such storms here.

On a vast island in the North Sea, Grand Preceptor Wen's army of one hundred thousand was encamped.

Inside the central command tent of the Great Shang Dynasty's army, Grand Preceptor Wen sat in the commander-in-chief's seat.

Seated below him on either side were the Mo Family Four Generals, the Heng and Ha Generals, Deng Jiugong, and Deng Chanyu.

At this moment, Grand Preceptor Wen said, "My fellow officers and soldiers, we have been on this northern expedition to the North Sea for nearly ten years."

"I wonder how things are in Chaoge now."

In truth, Grand Preceptor Wen knew that his leading an army of one hundred thousand on this expedition to the North Sea was a massive conspiracy.

He had led these hundred thousand troops in battle against Yuan Futong's seventy-two lords for so long.

Grand Preceptor Wen had long known that Yuan Futong and the leaders of the seventy-two lords were no ordinary men, but great demons.

Yuan Futong was even a demon king at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, while the seventy-two lords under his command were all great demons at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and Golden Immortal realms.

Deng Jiugong said, "Grand Preceptor, with Prime Minister Shang Rong, Deputy Prime Minister Bigan, the Martial Triumph King, and so many other important ministers assisting His Majesty at court—"

Grand Preceptor Wen sighed. "Let us hope so."

At the same time, on another enormous island several thousand kilometers away from the island where the Great Shang Dynasty's army was stationed in the North Sea, stood a massive city.

At the center of the city was Yuan Futong's residence in the North Sea.

At this moment, Yuan Futong sat in the seat of honor, while the seventy-two lords sat in two rows within the hall.

Yuan Futong said coldly, "Everyone, we have been fighting Grand Preceptor Wen and the Great Shang army for so long."

"If we still do not wipe out the Great Shang army, when the Exalted One holds us accountable, how will you bear the Exalted One's wrath?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the seventy-two lords changed drastically.

It was as though they had recalled something that filled them with boundless terror.

For a time, the leaders of the seventy-two lords throughout the hall all wore terrified expressions.

Yuan Futong looked at them all, his face dark and gloomy.

Just then, a cold snort rang through the hall.

"Humph! Yuan Futong, you and those seventy-two great demons truly are a pack of trash!"

"After all this time, you still have not dealt with Wen Zhong and the Great Shang army."

"Are you trying to make the Exalted One personally take action to deal with them?"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall, coldly watching Yuan Futong and the others.

When Yuan Futong saw the black-clad man who had suddenly appeared and recognized him, he jolted to his feet in alarm.

Yuan Futong hurriedly rose from his seat and instantly arrived before the black-clad man. He respectfully knelt and saluted. "Greetings, Lord Demon Saint!"

Seeing Yuan Futong kneel and pay respects to the black-clad man, the seventy-two great demons hurriedly fell to their knees as well.

"We pay respects to Lord Demon Saint!"

Yuan Futong said respectfully, "Lord Demon Saint, I too wish to eliminate Wen Zhong and the Great Shang army."

"However, Wen Zhong's cultivation realm is equal to mine. How could it be easy to kill him?"

"Moreover, the Great Shang Dynasty's army has formidable experts like the Mo Family Four Generals aiding it!"

The black-clad man said coldly, "Yuan Futong, when I call you incompetent, you still dare make excuses?"
