This day.
The entire Immortal City seemed to be slowly awakened by an invisible hand.
Boom—
From the depths of the Skyvault came the first resounding toll of an ancient war bell.
It was the long-sealed Primordial War Bell, silent for a hundred thousand years, which would resonate only when the Ancient Heaven Immortal City fully awakened.
Its chime swept across countless miles of the Immortal City. Mountains and rivers trembled, tidal waves rolled backward, and even the stars gave a faint shuddering cry—
As though making way for some supreme existence.
Clang!
Clang!
Then the second and third war-bell tolls crashed down. Their peals sounded like Tiandi splitting apart, shaking countless immortals until their minds nearly lost control.
Amid the reverberating bell chimes—
The Ancient Heaven Immortal City had awakened.
At the convergence point of three thousand worlds, an Ancient Heaven Immortal City stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, shaped like a sleeping whale, slowly emerged from the mist of Chaos.
Its walls had been forged from the battle bones of myriad races; its foundations were linked by Sui Gu's Dao veins. Every inch of brick and tile bore the blood, triumphs, and defeats of countless eras.
When the first strand of city light burst through the Skyvault, the entire Immortal City lit up.
Purple qi stretched across thirty thousand provinces, while the river of stars hung inverted like a heavenly waterfall cascading down.
Billions of immortal lights gathered from the Skyvaults of every Domain, like ten thousand rivers returning to the sea.
Above the Ancient Heaven Immortal City appeared the phantom of a colossal whale formed from Great Dao Patterns. Any who saw it might gain a chance at enlightenment.
It seemed to pierce through ancient and modern times alike, greeting the arrival of every Heaven's Pride
