The Heavenly Palace was majestic and solemn, all of which was within the Primordial Emperor's expectations.
But when he saw the group of people at the gate of the Heavenly Palace, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Each figure had blurred facial features, and their auras were imperceptible, but every single one of them held an invitation letter in their hand!
If he rembered correctly, those who could obtain an invitation letter were, at the very least, Great Emperors!
"My speculation was indeed correct. There are so many Great Emperors in the world, truly terrifying!"
The Primordial Emperor sighed.
It wasn't just the Primordial Emperor;
the other Great Emperors also looked at the other invitees with surprise!
Everyone had a vague understanding of the true number of Great Emperors. So had hidden in one place for countless eons, also believing there were only a handful of Great Emperors in the world. They never expected the number of Great Emperors who had employed the sa tactic as themselves to be so nurous.
At the gate of the Heavenly Palace.
Zhou Hao and Ye Fan stood, expressionlessly watching the crowd, yet their hearts were quite tense.
Upon learning that these people were all Great Emperors, both of them were extrely nervous because the gap between them and a Great Emperor was far too vast.
But when Zhou Hao rembered that his teacher was a powerhouse beyond the Dao Lord level, his expression cald. So what if they were Great Emperors? Could their background compare to his?
More and more people gathered at the Heavenly Palace gate, quickly reaching a number of one hundred.
After reaching this number, no newcors appeared for a long ti.
Su Yuan observed from the shadows and discovered there were still seven people unwilling to co, not giving him, a Dao Lord, face. Su Yuan inwardly shook his head. He wasn't like existences such as the Lord of the Nine Nether;
he truly intended to bestow opportunities. Missing this chance would be the loss of those seven individuals.
Seeing the main gate tightly shut, the Primordial Emperor couldn't help but look at the two figures at the Heavenly Palace entrance. These two did not have blurred faces, appeared extrely young, and possessed incredibly vigorous life auras. Although their cultivation hadn't reached the King Realm, any cultivator capable of standing before the Heavenly Palace gate was no ordinary individual.
An idea struck him. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "May I ask your nas, young friends? When will the Heavenly Palace open?"
Zhou Hao coughed lightly. "I am Zhou Hao. He is my senior brother, Ye Fan. Wait a mont longer;
our teacher will arrive shortly. Please, everyone, wait a little while."
Many people glanced over.
The Primordial Emperor had initially thought these two were roles like Dao attendants or gatekeepers. He never expected they were actually disciples of the Dao Lord?
To have caught the eye of a Dao Lord, these two must possess extraordinary qualities.
"So you are the esteed disciples of the Dao Lord! My apologies for the disrespect! Since the Dao Lord has not yet arrived, we shall naturally continue to wait!"
The Primordial Emperor gave the two a kindly smile, his tone extrely friendly. If anyone from the Primordial Empire saw the smile on the Primordial Emperor's face, they would be utterly shocked. When had the Primordial Emperor ever smiled before the world?
Zhou Hao felt imnsely gratified. This was the importance of status and background. With a Dao Lord backing him, even a Great Emperor had to show courtesy.
Suddenly, both Zhou Hao and Ye Fan heard Su Yuan's voice.
"Open the gate!"
Zhou Hao and Ye Fan exchanged a glance. The two moved to the side of the gate and pushed the massive doors open together.
The Heavenly Palace opened its portal.
The crowd looked at each other. Soon, soone took the lead and stepped inside.
Subsequently, many others quickly entered.
The Primordial Emperor walked last. Arriving beside the gate, he deliberately revealed his appearance and then presented two gifts, handing them separately to Zhou Hao and Ye Fan.
"Young friends, these are small tokens from the Primordial. Please do not stand on ceremony!"
Zhou Hao gave the Primordial Emperor a sowhat surprised look, then very naturally accepted the treasure, offering him a friendly smile in return.
Ye Fan's face showed hesitation.
Zhou Hao signaled to him with his eyes: "Take it! We are accepting gifts on behalf of our teacher."
Ye Fan nodded and also accepted the gift.
Only then did the Primordial Emperor conceal his appearance again and walk into the palace.
Upon entering the Heavenly Palace, inside was a Daoist arena.
At a glance, one could see one hundred and eight ditation mats placed. By now, everyone had already taken their seats.
A strange light appeared in the Primordial Emperor's eyes. "Could it be that there are actually one hundred and eight Great Emperors in the world? The other eight didn't co? How is the number of Great Emperors exactly one hundred and eight? Is there so profound aning?"
In reality, Su Yuan simply thought one hundred and seven didn't sound good, so he added one more seat.
The Primordial Emperor casually sat in one of the seats. Then, a sense of spatial disorientation washed over him;
it felt as if he was sitting in the foremost, most central position.
Probably everyone felt this way.
After the Primordial Emperor took his seat, Zhou Hao and Ye Fan, who were behind, also walked in. They were about to close the main doors when they saw two figures rushing in hurriedly.
"Ah, young friends, wait a mont!"
Everyone looked back and saw two cultivators dash into the main hall just before the doors closed.
These were two figures who had not concealed their appearances. One was a gaunt middle-aged man, his body extrely emaciated, as if he had no flesh. The other was the complete opposite, with a massive build that looked like a round ball.
Zhou Hao bowed respectfully. "Please take your seats, honored guests!"
The gaunt middle-aged man sat down expressionlessly, casually choosing a ditation mat. The other, a fat man with a smiling face, stared intently at Zhou Hao and Ye Fan.
"Tsk tsk, what special qualities do you two young friends possess to have caught the eye of the Dao Lord? Let's get acquainted. My Dao title is Nine Purity. You may address as Patriarch Nine Purity! Hahaha!"
The fat-faced middle-aged man laughed heartily.
The concealnt of the Nine Stars Land masked the special characteristics of Zhou Hao and Ye Fan. Even other Dao Lords couldn't discern their uniqueness.
Zhou Hao gave an awkward smile. "It is all due to our master's favor."
Ye Fan frowned and said, "Please, take your seats!"
The fat-faced middle-aged man smacked his lips, regretfully turned around, and took his seat.
The gaunt middle-aged man looked over.
The fat-faced middle-aged man chuckled. "It's been a long ti, Fellow Daoist Netherdark."
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to co out and move about," the gaunt middle-aged man said flatly.
"Hehe, aren't you the sa? You've been quite active lately. Have you identified a suitable candidate?" The fat-faced middle-aged man grinned.
"Perhaps I have truly found a target!" the gaunt middle-aged man stated calmly.
The fat-faced middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, sizing up the gaunt man from head to toe.
At this mont, Su Yuan was also looking at these two with surprise.
These two were, at the very least, Dao Lords, perhaps even stronger existences!
Su Yuan also hadn't expected these two to co in person. Although what arrived was rely an incarnation, coming was still coming.
Su Yuan hesitated no longer. He appeared out of thin air on the main seat of the Heavenly Palace.
Everyone looked over simultaneously.
Dao Lord Su Yuan's presence manifested so splendidly before the assembled Great Emperors.
Each person felt as if they were facing Su Yuan directly, and their hearts grew sowhat tense.
One Great Emperor after another respectfully bowed:
"We pay our respects to the Dao Lord!"
Su Yuan gave a slight nod and said, "I am the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign. I have invited you all here today to share so experience on breaking through to the Dao Lord realm."
