In the Upper Realm, there are a total of thirty-three Heavens, each guarded by a powerful being at the Immortal Venerable level.
Above the thirty-three Heavens lies the true Upper Realm, a battleground for the four Immortal Emperors, a place countless cultivators dream of reaching, where the strong gather!
Below the thirty-three Heavens lies the infinite starry sky, ho to countless planes, vast and seemingly endless, with many star domains still unconquered after tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years of exploration and conquest.
In these unknown star domains, there are terrifying black holes, dreadful storms, mysterious races… yet they all ultimately lie beneath the thirty-three Heavens, and one day, all mysteries will be unveiled.
The Upper Realm.
Glancing over the land of endless slaughter, in the very center of the east, stands a colossal palace, its scale so grand it resembles a city. Within the palace, celestial clouds swirl everywhere, so places glowing with vibrant colors, others imposing and solemn, beautiful won like clouds flit about, their movents ethereal, as if they were Nine Heavens Fairies. There are also stern guards, their gaze like lightning, defending one side.
At the center of the palace entrance, there is a lotus pond, the lotus buds about to bloom, filled with celestial energy, and occasionally koi fish swim by.
Beside the pond, a young man in a Taoist gown stands with his hands behind his back, leisurely admiring the scenery of the lotus pond.
On either side, beautiful won attend him. Behind him kneel three Immortal Venerables, none other than Jun Mo and the other two.
At this mont, the trio has long lost the lofty deanor of Immortal Venerables, kneeling on the ground, trembling continuously, drenched in sweat, evidently terrified to the extre.
The man in front stood calmly, saying nothing. Jun Mo gritted his teeth and spoke, "Reporting to the Taoist Master, the leader of the Heavenly Witch remnants is the Saintess of the Heavenly Witch Sect from a thousand years ago, who has broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm, wielding the Divine Artifact, the Heavenly Profound Bead. Qi Ao, Wu Kuangren, and I, two Immortal Venerables, took action, and were about to seize this woman when a mysterious and powerful person appeared. The mysterious person was extrely powerful, at the Yao Immortal level, and not alone! They even declared that this operation was a trap aid at hunting the Immortal Emperor!"
"Our strength compared to theirs is vastly unequal. In the fierce battle, we barely managed to escape, unable to fulfill the Taoist Master's order. I plead for the Taoist Master's punishnt!"
The man in front finally turned slowly, revealing an icy face; he was one of the four Immortal Emperors, the Taoist Master!
"Fierce battle?" The Taoist Master fixed his cold gaze on Jun Mo's face, "A Yao Immortal took action, and you were able to escape after a fierce battle?"
In an instant, Jun Mo felt enveloped in enormous terror, like a drowning person unable to breathe. Qi Ao and Wu Kuangren's faces simultaneously turned pale.
"Forgive us, Taoist Master! We were cowardly in battle!" Jun Mo hurriedly bowed his head, "We wanted that person to give us an explanation, but they lanted that it was too regrettable, as only three young ones ca without an Immortal Emperor present, and then they wanted to make a move."
"Given the gravity of the situation, we dared not let the Taoist Master be endangered, especially needing to bring the information back. We self-detonated an immortal artifact, barely escaping! Please forgive us, Taoist Master!"
The Taoist Master squinted, his cold gaze sweeping over the three. "So, among you three, not one engaged that person directly?"
The three did not dare conceal anything on this matter, fearfully bowing, "Yes!"
A multicolored light flashed, and a compass-like magic treasure appeared in the Taoist Master's hand, constantly spinning as his brows furrowed.
A mont later, the Taoist Master's lips curled into a subtle smile, "Soone has obscured the heavenly fate, interesting, interesting!"
Soone obscured the heavenly fate, and that made it interesting? The three exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued to the extre, yet they dared not ask questions lightly.
"Rise, you are forgiven!"
The Taoist Master waved a large sleeve, the three fearfully rose, repeatedly giving thanks.
"Relay this ssage to those three guys, make sure those three are inford!"
"Yes!"
"You may go."
The three bowed, saluted, and withdrew. Jun Mo couldn't resist, cautiously asking, "Taoist Master, the Heavenly Witch remnants..."
A cold smile appeared on the Taoist Master's face, he said unhesitatingly, "The thousand-year plan is approaching, do not take any actions for now, watch those three's reactions."
…
Earth, Arctic.
In the land ravaged by ice and snow, Xu Fan, guided by his previous markings, successfully led Chu Le'er into the Ice Palace.
Looking at the terrifying massive beasts locked on the towering ice pillars, Chu Le'er was struck with the sa astonishnt Xu Fan had felt before. It took a long ti before she returned to her senses, staring at Xu Fan in disbelief, "Are you sure they are alive?"
Xu Fan was startled, "What do you an?"
Chu Le'er shook her head, closed her eyes to carefully perceive, and even walked up to the ten ferocious beasts, touching them one by one, then spoke with absolute certainty, "There is not the slightest flow of energy from their bodies, and signs of life have long vanished. So, a thousand years ago, these ten ferocious beasts were likely already dead."
A thousand years ago, the ten ferocious beasts were already dead? How is that possible!?
Not long ago, Xu Fan had personally seen the Black Dragon in the world of consciousness! Moreover, the Dragon Divine Art was personally given and taught by the Black Dragon! How could the ten ferocious beasts have been dead a thousand years ago?
Xu Fan naturally did not believe this, personally walking to the Black Dragon's massive body, reaching out to gently touch the cold black scales, wanting to re-enter the Black Dragon's world of consciousness.
But this ti, there was no response at all.
Xu Fan activated the Divine Dragon Arts, but the Black Dragon remained unresponsive.
"Xu Fan, were you mistaken before?" Chu Le'er looked doubtful.
Xu Fan shook his head firmly, "Impossible! Black Dragon senior personally spoke to , and from the words of Black Dragon senior, I can roughly deduce that the reason they are locked here is due to a plot, an ambush."
"And the ambushers were from Huaxia!"
"From the ti and the story's alignnt, does it an these ten are indeed our Heavenly Witch Sect's forces in the Upper Realm?" Chu Le'er.
Xu Fan nodded, "Yes!"
"Then... what should we do now?"
The two exchanged glances.
After a long ti, Xu Fan gritted his teeth, resolutely saying, "For now, there's only one word: guard! The seniors guard here, shielding the heavenly fate, while I create diversions outside to mislead, buying us ti!"
The four Immortal Emperors are not united; on the contrary, they battle continuously, and this is Xu Fan's opportunity!
Once the heavenly fate is obscured, no Immortal Emperor can be sure that the ten ferocious beasts have not broken free and regained their strength. With causing misinformation in the Lower Realm, the four Immortal Emperors will surely beco suspicious and perhaps will really be reluctant to act rashly!
"Good!"
Chu Le'er said solemnly, "I'll arrange the Heavenly Witch disciples to personally guard this place! The Heavenly Witch disciples must not be exposed, so they cannot assist you, rember, caution in everything! Act low-key!"
Act low-key? How does one create diversions while acting low-key?
Xu Fan inwardly doubted but solemnly nodded as well, "Understood!"
