Divine Emperor Minghuang and Demon Venerable Minghuang, Recruitment (4K)

After the upheaval at Fire Spirit Tianchi, Fire Mulberry Dao Lord had not shown himself for several months. Even when sending the four gods to the Minghuang Sacred Hall, the escort had been handled by elders of the Fire Mulberry clan.

He was most likely severely injured!

The group of more than a dozen rode a Firecloud Flying Shuttle toward the Minghuang Sacred Hall.

Along the way, Huo Fuling, the only goddess among them, was quite lively. As the eldest princess of the Fire Mulberry clan, she was deeply curious about the world beyond. Taking the opportunity, she sidled up to Zhang Jian, using requests for guidance as an excuse while deliberately asking about the divine path system of the Heavenly Court.

In truth, the divine path systems of the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Court differed very little; only their origins were different. One originated from the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, while the other originated from Yuanhuang, master of the Golden Origin lineage.

Yet when Zhang Jian thought of Yuanhuang, foremost among the nine Divine Emperors, a suspicion arose within him.

In ancient primordial myths, the leaders of the Phoenix clan among the three races had been Ancestral Phoenix and Yuanhuang.

Though the Phoenix clan had declined, some powerful figures still remained. Surely they would not allow just anyone in the heavens and void to casually use Yuanhuang as an honorific.

The Golden Origin Heavenly Realm was connected to the Phoenix clan. Its ruler, Yuanhuang, should not have been unaware of such taboos.

He simply did not know what connection existed between the two.

The Minghuang Sacred Hall stood atop Jade Cluster Mountain, surrounded by parasol spiritual species.

There were fire parasols, Azure Parasols, and even the ancient surviving species known as Golden-thread Parasol Trees.
