So that’s how it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She silently placed her hand over her heart again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, resides a group of Divine Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling...isn’t very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems she is being used as some sort of special container, a kiln, nurturing those Divine Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuanyu can clearly feel a certain trait of hers is continuously being lost—traits brought by that strand of Six Ding Divine Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat appeared on her palms, her body hair stood on end, and her toes tingled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From head to toe, she felt uncomfortable everywhere, a heaviness on her chest akin to a Giant Stone pressing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ding!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The signal light of the guiding board turned green, the metallic barrier of the inspection zone slowly opened, and the fellow cultivator breathed a sigh of relief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve all passed the check... let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuanyu followed behind him, cautiously stepping out of the inspection zone, crossing a massive bridge, and was stunned by the incredibly vast city before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this...a city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Majestic, isn’t it?\" The fellow cultivator said with a smile: \"In fact, it’s more like a mountain, no, more like a towering pillar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why we also call it Celestial Pillar City or Tianshan City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, most people refer to it as—Celestial Capital!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuanyu did not reply, but just stared, dumbfounded at the magnificent scene before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on this spot looking out, it doesn’t seem like a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More like a ’giant steel tree’ or a ’celestial pillar’, piercing through the clouds, connecting the earth and the Celestial Vault,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless buildings either stack vertically or wind upwards along a central pillar, forming a spiral,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall outline doesn’t appear to be a smooth cylinder, but a terrace-like structure, robust with a sense of power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main body on which countless buildings depend...or should I say the trunk, what is it?\" Chen Nuanyu asked intuitively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fellow cultivator shrugged, replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s said to be something called ’Jianmu’, it sounds like a tree, but I’ve knocked on Jianmu’s shell before, its texture isn’t wood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuanyu licked her dry lips, her gaze still glued to this uniquely shaped city,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vertical, spiraled, city clinging to the Jianmu...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuanyu arduously withdrew her gaze, softly asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, where are we going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going down below, to the bottom of the city.\" The fellow cultivator’s face showed a faint smile: \"Rest for a while, then a significant figure will meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\" Chen Nuanyu asked instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Pope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fellow cultivator’s voice suddenly turned solemn and respectful, giving Chen Nuanyu a tingling sensation on her scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, she was led into this column-shaped city known as Celestial Capital, to a modest inn located at the base of Jianmu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuanyu sat uneasily on the bed, her heart tightening, pondering about the soon-to-arrive ’Pope of the Western Sect’,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and it was at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Knock!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle knocking sound echoed by her ears, and the girl abruptly jumped off the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here it comes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is—Celestial Venerate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tightness in her heart suddenly eased, and then she relaxed both her body and Soul Spirit, following that inexplicable guidance, upward, upward, and upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar scenes were happening elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the Buddha Son on the other end of Celestial Capital, it’s Shi Zhengyuan from the Golden Province, and also Shen Baobao deep within the Star Sea, studying an ancient relic...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under the Other Shore World in Yin Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain girl was still curling up in Yin Chang’an, tirelessly trying to communicate with a certain being through a sacrificial array,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While in the city, in the Taiji Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Knock!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple spread out, the Northern Emperor suddenly looked at the High Heaven Order placed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summoning... who is summoning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northern Emperor raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, did not resist the summoning force, letting a wisp of his split consciousness be drawn upward, upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was a foggy scene before his eyes, unable to see even an inch away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was light, profound yellow light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzhou Mountain??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northern Emperor raised an eyebrow, seeing a straight profound yellow waterfall, still ascending under the guidance of the summoning power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the top of the profound yellow waterfall, standing on a section of white jade stairs, and above, was a grand, solemn Taoist Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight Sceneries Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The investigative look on Emperor Ziwei’s face vanished entirely, a tremor in his heart, suddenly silencing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vague silhouettes appeared, so dim that even he couldn’t see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including himself, there were nine people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is missing?\" The Buddha Son looked around: \"Who’s missing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Mingyue shook her head, staring at an unfamiliar dark silhouette, softly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, two are missing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sixth seat and the ninth seat are both gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned towards the Northern Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Eight Sceneries Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng did not immediately open the door of the Taoist Palace, letting those waiting outside enter.\u003C\u002Fp>",975,"2026-06-08T09:33:41.990Z",1,"novelbin.me","dd7f75a890eddacf4324554a5123589c80d2ddf2e766e861caa731fd615ad795","secret-buyer-chapter-515","secret-buyer-chapter-513",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
