The Upper World, the Great Cang Divine Kingdom.
The Great Cang Divine Kingdom is the ruler of the Three Realms, and its directly governed territory spans over a billion square miles, comparable to the entire Central Heaven Prefecture.
The capital of the Great Cang Divine Kingdom is located in the center of its territory and is called Taicang Heavenly Capital.
The Taicang Heavenly Capital covers an area of 100,000 square miles and is extremely prosperous, even surpassing the core of any holy land on the Desolate Continent.
now:
Inside the inner city of Taicang Heavenly Capital, in the World Oversight Hall, many powerful figures gathered together, exchanging toasts and laughter in a harmonious atmosphere.
Congratulations to Brother Zhou on your promotion to Vice Hall Master!
Yes, this is great news, we should congratulate them properly.
Brother Zhou's achievement of reaching the Zhoutian Realm and his promotion to Deputy Hall Master is an honor we share in.
At the banquet, more than a dozen powerful figures raised their glasses to a middle-aged man in the main seat, their tone filled with flattery and obsequiousness.
Vice Hall Master Zhou was also all smiles, welcoming everyone who came, and his words carried a certain air of confidence.
Not at all, it was just a lucky breakthrough; I got ahead of my colleagues.
Half a month ago, he finally succeeded in breaking through in his seclusion and advanced to the Zhoutian Realm. He was appreciated by the World Oversight Hall, and his status was greatly improved. He became one of the deputy hall masters of the World Oversight Hall, and today he officially received the appointment decree.
As the World Oversight Hall that oversees the thirty-six Middle World and seven hundred and twenty Lower World, the position of the Vice Hall Master is already considered to be of high rank and great power.
Even in the vast and powerful capital of Tai Cang Taicang Heavenly Capital, he could be considered a figure of considerable stature.
He was naturally delighted to have obtained such a high position, so he invited more than a dozen of his close colleagues to a banquet, which was also a way of formally establishing his faction.
In the Taicang Heavenly Capital, various power organs and powerful figures are rife with open and covert struggles and factional infighting. Even though he is the deputy hall master, he cannot hold his position without the support of his own faction.
By the way
After several rounds of drinks, Vice Hall Master Zhou put down his wine cup, his brows slightly furrowed:
Where is Younger Brother Zhao?
He has always been close to us, so why is he unwilling to congratulate me on my promotion to Vice Hall Master?
Upon hearing this, a powerful figure standing nearby quickly put down his wine cup and explained:
Brother Zhou, you've misunderstood.
This month it was Brother Zhao's turn to be on duty. It is said that some turmoil occurred in his hometown Zhongliang Kingdom, and he hurriedly descended to the mortal realm.
Before he left, he asked me to apologize to Brother Zhou, saying that he would personally visit him to offer his congratulations upon his return.
Oh? I see.
Upon hearing this, Vice Hall Master Zhou felt relieved and didn't take it too seriously, casually smiling as he replied:
Younger Brother Zhao, you've put in a lot of effort.
The World Oversight Hall directly oversees a total of thirty-six Middle World.
In any single Middle World, the descent of an envoy from the Upper Realm might be a rare occurrence, perhaps only once every few thousand years.
However, for the World Oversight Hall, almost every few decades or centuries, some trouble would always occur in a certain Middle World.
Given their long Lifespan, this kind of thing was commonplace for them, and each of them had dealt with it several times.
Therefore, Vice Hall Master Zhou, and even the other powerful figures, did not think much of it, assuming it was just a routine mission to the mortal realm.
But not long after:
Something they never dreamed of happened.
Report!
A World Oversight Hall at the Peak Heavenly Impulse Realm rushed over, his face filled with panic:
Sir! Something's happened!
The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. Many powerful figures at the banquet subconsciously put down their wine cups and looked towards the hall entrance.
Shouting and yelling like that, what kind of behavior is that?
Upon seeing this, Vice Hall Master Zhou frowned, revealing a hint of displeasure.
Forgive me, my lord!
The guard at the Heavenly Impulse Realm looked terrified and repeatedly said:
It is not that I, a lowly person, intend to deliberately disturb the banquet of you gentlemen, but rather, rather
Vice Hall Master Zhou's face darkened. He put down his wine cup and reprimanded:
Why are you hesitating? Just say what you want to say!
The Heavenly Impulse Realm guard trembled and lowered his head, saying:
The news from the Soul Lamp Hall came an hour ago that the Soul Lamp of Zhao Youwei, the overseer who had just descended to the mortal realm, had gone out!
What?
Upon hearing this, the many powerful figures in the hall were immediately taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances, all somewhat incredulous.
Vice Hall Master Zhou suddenly stood up, knocking over his wine cup without realizing it, and said in shock and anger:
Younger Brother Zhao is dead? Did he die in a Middle World, or in his own hometown?
How is that possible?!
The Heavenly Impulse Realm guard on duty said in a panic:
This news is absolutely true; I would never dare to deceive you!
Hearing his words:
Vice Hall Master Zhou's expression grew increasingly grim, and a nameless rage surged within him.
Today is his big day, but unfortunately, one of his important and capable subordinates has died, which is a blatant slap in the face to him!
Not to mention:
Zhao Youwei had always been close to him, and now that he had been promoted to deputy hall master, he had been tacitly accepted as one of his people by all the factions in the World Oversight Hall!
If he fails to avenge them, what will the other powerful figures think of him?!
What exactly happened?
His face was grim, his anger rising, and he said in a cold voice:
Even though Younger Brother Zhao's cultivation is lacking, he is still a powerful figure at the Divine Treasure Realm Fourth Heaven!
He descended to the mortal realm to suppress a rebellion in his own hometown, so how could he have died so mysteriously and inexplicably?
Hearing his words:
The many powerful figures nearby also reacted quickly, and one of them immediately spoke up:
Brother Zhou, there seems to be more to this than meets the eye!
In my opinion, we should immediately retrieve the records and notes from before Brother Zhao descended to the mortal realm and see if we can find any clues!
Vice Hall Master Zhou nodded slowly and said in a deep voice:
That's all we can do.
According to the rules of the World Oversight Hall, every Overwatch Envoy who descends to the Middle World to suppress rebellions and uphold the Saint Emperor's rule leaves a record before setting off.
It will record detailed information from reports received from the lower realms, including the scale of the rebellion, its leaders, etc.
After such an incident, everyone naturally lost their appetite for continuing the banquet and only wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and kill the murderer!
soon:
Led by Vice Hall Master Zhou, the group hurried towards the World Oversight Hall, intending to retrieve the records and see if they could determine the cause of Zhao Youwei's death.
But after they retrieved the records, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
How could this be?
A powerful being frowned deeply, his tone filled with doubt:
The report from the Zhongliang Kingdom family claims that someone single-handedly breached the capital of the Zhongliang Kingdom, annihilating hundreds of the Peak Heavenly Impulse Realm cultivators in a single blow, and even killing the current emperor?
How is that possible?
In the Middle World, there aren't even any cultivation manuals at the level of supreme heavenly arts, so it's impossible to cultivate someone who can achieve the strongest and most perfect foundation.
Not to mention, even Peak Heavenly Impulse Realm with an extremely strong foundation is nothing more than an ant in front of the Divine Treasure Realm expert.
It's impossible that a prodigy on par with His Your Highness Yin, the adopted son of the Saint Emperor, could just appear out of nowhere in the Zhongliang Kingdom.
