The Heavenly Surveillance Bureau.
At its gates.
Night fell. Countless stars hung overhead, and a river of stars stretched across the night sky from east to west, seeming to divide heaven and earth in two.
Jiang Ning raised his head and gazed into the night, his eyes narrowing slightly.
With a faint stir of his mind, his Heavenly Immortal Realm spiritual strength silently enveloped the entire Royal Capital and all the sky above it.
He could sense an invisible ripple of will descending through the void.
It resembled the familiar fluctuations on the Celestial Ladder in the Shangyang Inner Landscape.
It resembled the fluctuations when the grotto-heaven's will descended in the Yang Lake Grotto-Heaven.
Yet compared with those two, this fluctuation was far more immense, far more vast.
As he keenly sensed that vast, profound, overwhelming will,
he felt as though he stood before a tsunami a hundred thousand feet high. The moment it crashed down, it could sweep across heaven and earth and destroy them both.
So this is the fluctuation of the Heavenly Dao Will? he murmured inwardly.
He had sensed fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao Will before, but never as clearly as he did at this moment.
He understood that the Heavenly Dao Will had descended
because of the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Disc in the Astronomical Bureau's possession.
The details concerning the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Disc surfaced in his mind.
It was an immortal treasure from the Primordial Era.
According to legend, its divine powers had originally been shrouded. Like most ordinary immortal treasures, it could not display its wonders in this age.
But more than eight hundred years ago, after passing through the Martial Saint's hands, it had regained its divine powers and revealed its true wonders, watching over all beneath heaven without flaw or omission.
