The Mysterious Capital Weaves Its Net, and Heaven and Earth Are Bound Within

And yet, this world had not been reduced to rubble. The key was the Mysterious Capital Palace. Drawing on its vast reserves of Earth Immortals, it had joined forces with the Buddhist School, the Devil Sect, the East Sea Sword Palace, and others to set earth, water, fire, and wind back in order, bring Yin and Yang into balance, and use its great "net" to counter the force tearing heaven and earth apart.
