A magnificent world stood at the junction of the Three Realms, undoubtedly the center of their structure and the most essential heart of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. Swathes of Dao marks manifested between heaven and earth, free for living beings to capture.
Immortal qi so dense it could not be dispersed surged between heaven and earth, enough to sustain the breathing of Immortal King-level beings. Exquisite pavilions stretched in clusters, wreathed in clouds and mist among the Immortal Mountains.
Most of these Immortal Mountains floated in midair, their palaces packed in orderly rows. Cascading waterfalls formed rivers, each hanging from the sky like a True Dragon, accompanied by circling Spirit Cranes and leaping Dragon Carp, brimming with life.
Beneath these plunging waterfalls lay immortal lakes, scattered like precious pieces of jade. Small beasts drank and played, while Lingzhi Jade Ginseng grew beside the mountains.
This was the splendor of the Heavenly Court. Ten thousand rays of rosy light and a thousand streaks of auspicious color filled the horizon. Purple qi billowed like clouds, trailing wisps of mist. Amid its majesty and mystery lay peace and tranquility, involuntarily calming people's hearts.
Just then, a series of barks shattered the peace.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
"Woof! The Great Emperor has become an Emperor of the Immortal Dao! This Emperor can throw his weight around again!"
"Human pets, human pets!"
"Happy, happy!"
"All of you, welcome this Emperor's arrival!"
The Black Emperor stood upright, wearing oversized shorts forged from Nine-Colored Immortal Gold. He kept wriggling his body, so happy he could no longer tell north from south.
One Immortal King after another silently stepped aside for this dead dog, who was only a Quasi-Immortal King.
"This dead dog has gone mad again," an Immortal King said helplessly.
"How many days has it been?"
