Heavenly Emperor's Capital · Nine Heavens (3/3)

The Heavenly Emperor's Capital, the Heaven of the Grand Sovereign and Yellow Emergence.

A hissing sound accompanied a shattered spacetime rift.

Li Boyang, along with Xiluo and Azure Bird, successfully entered the true Heavenly Emperor's Capital.

It must be clarified here that although the Heavenly Emperor's Capital is called a "capital city," it actually has nothing to do with a capital city.

In fact, the entire Heavenly Emperor's Capital a cycle composed of nine secret realms, hence it is also known as the "Nine Heavens".

This Heaven of the Grand Sovereign and Yellow Emergence is the First Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital —the boundary between humans and gods.

Tens of thousands of years ago, during the most prosperous period of the Heavenly Emperor Hao Jun, he established rules that both gods and mortals had to abide by.

The "Nine Heavens" of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital are the concrete manifestation of these rules.

The First Heaven— the Heaven of the Grand Sovereign and Yellow Emergence— is the Heavenly Realm closest to the human world.

It is connected to Kunlun on the earth, symbolizing the majesty of the Hao Jun, and was also the place where all living beings climbed the Heavenly Ladder to pray for blessings.

The Second Heaven, the Heaven of Grand Radiance and Jade Perfection, symbolizes light and purity.

It is the material manifestation of Hao Jun's power, influencing and even controlling the trends of sunrise and Moonfall.

The Third Heaven, known as Heaven of Clear Radiance and Harmonious Unity, symbolizes the clarity and order of all things.

The gods who submit to Hao Jun reside here, governing all things in heaven and earth and the operation of natural laws.

The Fourth Heaven— the Heaven of the Mysterious Womb and Balanced Nurturing— is the place where life is conceived and evolved.

In various myths and legends, this place is where Hao Jun cultivated the Immortality Herb, and it is also the birthplace of the Heavenly Emperor's children.

The Fifth Heaven, Heaven of Primordial Radiance and Cultural Ascendance, emphasizes civilization and wisdom.

Only those Heavenly Deity who have earned the deep trust of Hao Jun are qualified to reside here and work with Hao Jun to establish the rules governing the operation of heaven and earth. The Sixth Heaven, known as the Seven Luminaries Moyi Heaven, refers to the seven major celestial bodies: the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn.

This celestial body is the central hub of celestial movement, governing the laws of the heavens and influencing the movement of the stars throughout the celestial sphere.

The Seventh Heaven— the Heaven of Emptiness and Transcendent Balance —is a Heavenly Realm that transcends the material form.

Even the mighty Heavenly Deity can only descend to the world by astral projection; it is the place where the Heavenly Emperor Hao Jun summons the gods.

The Eighth Heaven — Heaven of the Great Ultimate and Primal Obscurity— contains primordial, undeveloped energy.

Different versions of the myth carry different meanings, but without exception, they all describe its essence as the origin of the world and the end of all things.

The Ninth Heaven— the Heaven of Crimson Radiance and Harmonious Yang— is the highest heaven, symbolizing ultimate light and harmony.

This is the abode of Hao Jun, and also the most mysterious and unpredictable Supreme Heaven among the Nine Heavens.

Even now, with the collapse of the Nine Heavens and the transformation of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital into the Kunlun Guixu, this legendary Supreme Heaven has not revealed itself to the world.

"In ancient mythology, this was the First Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital's capital."

"Strong individuals in the mortal realm can ascend the Long Stairway of Divine Ascension of Mount Kunlun to reach this world and pray for the Heavenly Emperor's blessings."

Gazing at the ruins that had been reduced to rubble, the Azure Bird, having done its homework thoroughly, murmured.

"It is said that the Heavenly Emperor greatly admires those who possess sufficient willpower and conviction."

Therefore, their requests are basically met unconditionally.

"Some powerful beings, whose strength rivals that of gods, even have the opportunity to become incarnations of the Heavenly Emperor, patrolling the mortal realm on his behalf."

At this point, the Azure Bird suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Turning her head to look at the Azure Bird on her shoulder, Xiluo asked curiously.

She was very interested in myths from many years ago.

Especially when hearing about the various actions of the Heavenly Emperor when he reigned over the world.

Xiluo would always unconsciously compare his actions with those of Li Boyang.

The final conclusion was that the Heavenly Emperor was inferior to Li Boyang.

At the very least, in terms of bestowing grace upon the world and spreading the Dharma to all beings, the Heavenly Emperor was far inferior to Li Boyang.

The Heavenly Emperor is the undisputed ruler, and all his actions are aimed at consolidating his prestige and rule.

Take, for example, the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital.

Xiluo simply couldn't imagine how much divine power had been used to construct such a mysterious and unpredictable secret realm. In contrast, Li Boyang saw himself more as a guide.

To guide all beings from ignorance to wisdom, and to guide the divine from barbarism to civilization.

Li Boyang never engaged in extravagant construction projects or levied exorbitant taxes for personal gain.

On the contrary, in the process of managing the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Li Boyang always took the lead and did everything himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range have achieved their current miraculous rise.

Leading the world in both material and spiritual realms, the exemplary role of people like Li Boyang, who personally took charge of everything, was absolutely indispensable.

"Based on my grandmother's description, I originally thought that the Heavenly Emperor's Capital incredibly magnificent."

"Even after the collapse, it will surely be a magnificent spectacle."

"But now it seems that this Heavenly Emperor's Capital is nothing special."

Under Xiluo's slightly surprised gaze, Azure Bird said with obvious disappointment and regret.

"Look at these ruins and relics; they were simply carved and sculpted from even taller trees and rocks."

"Look at those roads again, they were just forcibly flattened and rectified by brute force."

"Compared to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range today, and even to Mount Changyang City, this place pales in comparison."

It must be admitted that ever since she learned that she was the last descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, Azure Bird had developed a kind of idealized view of the father god she had never met.

Unfortunately, what I'm witnessing now shattered that illusion for the Azure Bird.

If even Xiluo could understand this, how could Azure Bird, who had witnessed the development of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to this day, not understand it?

"That's not entirely true; the Heavenly Emperor's Capital does have its merits."

Just then, Li Boyang, who had been carefully observing the ruins, spoke up.

"Look there, that should be the ruins formed after the Fifth Heaven fell."

Looking in the direction Li Boyang was pointing.

Xiluo and Azure Bird saw the shattered ruins of a city.

Unlike ordinary cities, that city was entirely constructed of white jade.

Even after tens of thousands of years, the remains of those white jade pieces still shine brightly, giving people an exceptionally mysterious feeling.

"That place was originally the dwelling place of the gods, a white jade forged from the essence of heaven and earth."

"Don't be fooled by their jade-like appearance into thinking they're just ordinary white jade."

Seeing the puzzled look on Azure Bird's face, Li Boyang said with a smile.

"Although I don't know how Hao Jun did it-"

"But those white jade pieces are crystallizations of the essence of the sun and moon, tangible manifestations of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi."

"If I remember correctly, various myths and legends have depicted this city soaring in the sky."
