Chapter 365 First Arrival in the True Realm
Chapter 365 First Arrival in the True Realm
Time flies.
Throughout the entire divine realm, almost every power is frantically building temples to enshrine the four divine artifacts left behind by heaven and earth in the past.
Although people do not know what those things are or what kind of past they represent, they all know that they come from the Palace of Reincarnation and may touch upon "eternity".
Miao Wuyu's "City of No Desire," Li Daozhi's "City of Reincarnation," and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mother's "City of Nine Transformations," along with Li Lan's Carefree Royal City, are known as the Four Eternal Cities, concentrating the incense and faith of the entire divine realm.
Among them, Li Lan's carefree royal city is the most astonishing. After all, he is far ahead of the other four and has become an elder, gaining the support of the entire Heavenly God Realm!
The other three chose their capital cities in the other two divine realms because they knew they couldn't compete with Li Lan within the Heavenly Divine Realm.
Today, golden clouds perpetually blanket the sky above the carefree royal city, and a pure, auspicious aura soars into the heavens. This once ancient and nearly dilapidated royal city has reached its zenith.
Princess Changming resides in the city, and many other divine king forces have also sent their most core geniuses to Xiaoyao Royal City for training. This is also a statement – they are placing the future of their families on Li Lan's shoulders.
"The City Lord of Nine Transformations has begun. Her city is filled with an aura of reincarnation that is terrifying. It seems that something extremely terrifying is being revived, and even God Kings and God Emperors cannot withstand it!"
On this day, a piece of news spread.
In the God King City where the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mother Yukihime resides, the vast faith and incense offerings seem to have become burning flames, reflecting on the "blood-stained robe" she chose, causing the robe to emit a faint aura.
When that aura appeared, the entire God King City was shocked. Everyone couldn't help but kneel down. Even God Kings were drenched in sweat and unable to stand. Even the God Emperor of the Human Origin Realm personally appeared, looking at Nine Transformations City from afar and bowing in respect.
"Who left that blood-stained garment?"
"To think that even the God Emperor would bow down, this is astonishing!"
"Invincible..."
Inside the Nine Transformations City, in a grand hall, a phantom path had appeared before the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mother, Yukihime.
The moment that path appeared, the entire hall seemed to vanish, becoming a blank space.
Clearly, that path possesses a real presence, repelling nothingness!
The path leads to the place of the Heavenly Emperor's cause and effect.
Only Yukihime exuded an aura of mortals. She took a deep breath and walked up!
……
The strange occurrences in Nine Transformations City sparked countless speculations among the people, and half a month later, the same phenomenon occurred in Desireless City.
In fact, the vast light of faith in Wuyu City was even stronger than that in Jiubian City. Therefore, when Miao Wuyu chose that "blood jade", it was also awakened with even stronger power. A faint blood-red light appeared in the sky above Wuyu City. The moment it appeared, it seemed as if the sun, moon and stars in the world were about to disappear.
Ten days or so after Wuyu City, Li Daozhi's "Reincarnation City" erupted with a terrifying and vast light. Faintly, a humanoid silhouette appeared in the sky above Reincarnation City. It was a tall and imposing figure holding a sword.
The outline appeared for only a moment, but many people saw it. Then, these people actually comprehended the Dao on the spot and broke through to the next level. This moment became a legend.
"Who left behind that blood sword? The reflection it reveals is terrifying."
"It's definitely beyond the realm of gods, but it shouldn't be a god, because gods cannot be looked at directly. Yet, those who saw that silhouette not only didn't self-destruct, but inexplicably broke through..."
"Judging from the current situation, Li Daozhi is the strongest and most promising among the three."
The world was abuzz with discussion, and at the same time, they all turned their attention to the carefree royal city.
As the person with the highest status among the four, what kind of earth-shattering changes will Li Lan bring?
The world didn't have to wait long; just seven days later, Li Lan emerged from seclusion!
On this day, the spiritual energy and forbidden energy within a million miles surrounding the Free and Unfettered Royal City were instantly drained!
The flames of faith erupted like countless volcanoes, and the willpower of the entire Celestial Realm seemed to boil over. The sky above the Carefree Royal City was illuminated by pure golden light, as if the city had been transformed into a supreme pure land.
And supported by that boundless faith, faintly... it seemed as if a phantom was slowly emerging.
It was a phantom figure in green robes.
The entire city of Xiaoyao was stunned. Many people in the city subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but they couldn't, as if some mysterious force was blocking them!
"Who is that... and why does he make us feel so inexplicably excited?!"
"Just one glance gave me a feeling of sudden enlightenment and breakthrough, as if I was bathed in holy light and my spirit and soul were cleansed."
"What exactly happened?"
The world gasped in amazement; they were overjoyed.
"As expected, Elder Jin Ruofeng is the strongest among the four!"
"He will surely obtain the item of cause and effect and become the Lord of the Samsara Palace!"
How can others compete with him?
Geniuses and leaders from various powerful forces all spoke up, showering Li Lan with compliments and praise.
"We definitely made the right choice..."
Princess Changming couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The competition among Li Lan, Li Daozhi, and the other three was, in fact, a life-or-death choice for the three Divine Realm experts.
If you make the right choice, you'll be able to cling to the Lord of Reincarnation's coattails and prosper in the Divine Realm forever.
What if I made a mistake?
Unbelievable...
……
Inside the main hall, Li Lan looked at the illusory figure in blue robes and fell silent.
The Heavenly Emperor has long since passed away and no longer exists in this world. However, when the faith and will of all the spirits in the world are gathered together, his afterimage will still appear!
The well-being of all people was his lifelong obsession!
In fact, every time he appears, he is giving something to the world, allowing even the foolish to glimpse the right path and break through their own limitations...
However, the phantom image quickly faded away!
"Hey……"
A soft sigh could be heard, almost imperceptibly.
The Heavenly Emperor has passed away, and the incense offerings throughout the land are merely a means to revive his lingering shadows and lasting thoughts before vanishing again.
Before Li Lan, a magnificent staircase had appeared, each step paved with the faith of the common people, as if a world was welcoming Li Lan's arrival.
If Xue Ji, Miao Wuyu, Li Daozhi, and others were to see this, they would likely be extremely shocked.
Xue Ji only saw a winding path, Miao Wuyu was better off, as the main road was flat and gentle. Li Daozhi also saw a staircase, but it was narrow and dark.
It completely lacked the grand and awe-inspiring feeling that Li Lan was experiencing at that moment.
Li Lan walked up step by step.
……
And this moment.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, the four seeds have already begun their path of guidance. Soon, the causal object will appear in the world."
In the Hall of Reincarnation, the Grand Elder stood respectfully before the cliff and addressed the celestial waterfall.
"very good."
From the world behind the waterfall, a faint voice rang out: "When the things of cause and effect descend upon the world, I will descend."
The Grand Elder and the others were overjoyed.
When the Lord of the Samsara Palace arrives in person, they may truly obtain the opportunity for "eternity"!
……
Beyond the virtual world.
This is an ancient bronze palace, built on a vast, ancient battlefield.
The bronze pillars are covered in verdigris, weathered by time. Even the rare divine metals of the Eternal Realm cannot resist the erosion of time.
With his white hair and beard, Xishan Zhenyun opened his eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Heavenly Emperor's karmic object is about to appear in the world. After guarding this place for millions of years, it has finally arrived."
"Unfortunately, I have grown so old..."
He sighed, filled with regret.
He was born into an immortal family in the Eternal True Realm—the Western Mountain Royal Family. However, he was not considered a core direct descendant, so he was not eligible for the temples within the family that could receive offerings of faith.
So he was assigned to the "Reincarnation Hall" as its master.
As a member of a powerful clan, he knew very well that the Samsara Palace was established by various royal families and aristocratic clans to suppress the lingering resentment of the Heavenly Emperor.
For countless years, the Palace of Reincarnation has never received any response from the Heavenly Emperor, so this Palace of Reincarnation has almost been forgotten.
Originally, every year, various royal families would invest some resources, so becoming the Lord of the Samsara Palace was a lucrative position, and only the most powerful and core members of the royal families had the opportunity to do so.
As time went by, the position of Palace Master of the Samsara Palace became a mere formality, and it was generally only sent to a collateral branch of a family that lacked sufficient power.
"We missed the good times..."
Nishiyama Seiyun couldn't help but sigh.
Back in the day, when the Eternal Realm had just been established after the demons were eradicated, it was truly a vast blue ocean.
The world is too vast and the resources are too abundant. Even the royal families and noble clans don't have enough people to manage it. After all, ruling the world requires a large number of people.
At that time, even if he wasn't a direct descendant of a family member, he could easily occupy a huge temple and hold a high position of power without any problem.
In fact, during that era, various royal families encouraged people from the lower classes to enter scripture halls to learn some scriptures. If they achieved success in their studies, they could be accepted by the royal family and gain a certain status and resources.
That won't work now. The royal family is getting too powerful, and even members of such a family can only come to places like this, where there's no profit to be made, to make a living.
"Xiao Rou, write a letter of divorce and report this matter to the Eternal Royal Court."
Xishan Zhenyun waved his hand casually, and a stunningly beautiful young woman stepped forward, behaving with utmost respect.
When Xishan Zhenyun saw her, his earlier dissatisfaction eased slightly. At least he could easily become the master of a place like the Samsara Palace. Those who weren't members of the royal family or didn't have an immortal background were in a much worse situation.
For example, this Xiao Rou was the number one cultivator in a certain county in her early years. In the end, she even entered the top monastery in the Eternal True Realm to study. Her talent in cultivation is definitely no weaker than the strongest geniuses of the royal family. If it were in the early days of the Eternal True Realm, when there were many resources in the world and few people sharing them, someone like her would definitely have a bright future.
But times have changed.
Nowadays, even the most outstanding geniuses can only serve as his subordinates!
Moreover, she had to compete and defeat hundreds or even thousands of people to become his subordinate. Only by flattering him to the extreme and demanding whatever he wanted could she obtain the few resources that slipped through his fingers!
"It's really curly..."
Even he couldn't help but sigh.
"However, once the primordial objects left behind by the Heavenly Emperor materialize, and the void world he ultimately deduced solidifies, there will be new additions..."
Thinking about this, he felt a surge of excitement.
When a new world emerges, many new temples will be built, and he might just be able to become the temple master of one.
soon.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the royal court has sent back an order,"
Xiao Rou reported, presenting a decree with both hands, "Soon, Lords Dong Ya Xue and Dong Ya Tao will arrive and personally travel to the 'Void Heaven Realm' for preliminary exploration!"
