Earth World, on the outskirts of Tongcheng.
Space rippled. Dressed in ancient robes, Huan Emperor Jian Shang, whose real name in Earth World was Xiao Ying, appeared as though he had stepped through a curtain of water.
Since Xiao Ying had traveled bodily to the world of Forging the Sacred Court long ago, his clothes, hair, and appearance were naturally identical to those he had there.
