Chapter 752

"The Chu Emperor actually came to see us off personally?"

"This is the Chu Emperor's Dharma manifestation, not his true self."

"So fast; the galaxy and the light are the same. Could the Chu Emperor already be an Immortal Emperor?"

In the immortal city, the flying ships of the various sects were docked, and the disciples and elders on the ships could feel the light and shadow of the stars and moon alternating outside the immortal city.

Countless streams of light flashed by; it was not those stars that were flying, but they themselves, as if the stars were shifting, faster than one could imagine.

The vast territory of the Southern Domain flashed by in blurred afterimages before many eyes; it was impossible to see clearly, and one could only barely see the distant and massive land, its outline vaguely presenting the mountains and rivers of the Yan-Chu Qin Xianchao.

"In the Southern Domain War, seven dynasties compete; this time, regarding the quotas for the Primordial True Realm, every dynasty is very active, and it is inevitable that some may use despicable means."

In the palace within the flying ship, the Great Dream Master looked up and said to Li Hao beside her.

Li Hao nodded; he had encountered interception and killing on the road before in the Heavens.

Although he had come to the True Realm from the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-Realm, things had changed but people had not, and the human heart had remained unchanged since ancient times.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze from the vast starry sky on the flying ship, where starlight was like shadows, and landed it on the painted porcelain before him, examining it carefully.

Seeing Li Hao's calm mind, the Great Dream Master also curved her lips into a slight smile, quietly accompanying him on the side.

Time flew by.

The Chu Emperor's Dharma manifestation carried the immortal city, with the Chaos Ancestral Dragon coiled upon it, chasing the stars and moon all the way; in just a few days, they arrived at the center of the Southern Domain.

As they approached, the immortal energy in the surrounding starry sky was clearly much denser than in the immortal cities of the Yan-Chu Qin Xianchao, comparable to the Imperial Capital of the Qin Xianchao.

And in that vast starry sky, a glowing, brilliant continent floated in the stars.

That continent was boundless, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, and the immortal barrier outside the continent was filled with thick immortal energy, shining silver and white.

"We are almost there; that is the Tiangong."

On the flying ship, the Great Dream Master looked up, a hint of calmness in her eyes, and said to Li Hao.

Li Hao was discussing with her how to paint the branches of the Time Origin Divine Tree when he suddenly heard her words and could not help but look up, seeing the center of the Southern Domain, the Tiangong where the Immortal Emperor sat.

In the starry sky outside that continent, there were streams of silver light; compared to that vast continent, the circling streams of light were as inconspicuous as silver dust.

But at this moment, those silver specks of dust were flying toward Li Hao and the others.

When they got closer, they could see that they were immortal guards patrolling outside the Tiangong.

However, these immortal guards were actually all in the Immortal Monarch Realm, wearing uniform battle armor, their expressions cold; even upon recognizing the Chu Emperor's identity, their expressions did not soften or move, and they continued to fly straight over.

The Chu Emperor raised his hand and wrote the character "Yan" in the void, which radiated brilliant golden light.

Seeing this, the team of immortal guards bowed and then cleared the path ahead.

The Chu Emperor carried the immortal city in one hand, his other hand behind his back, and flew straight ahead.

Outside the boundless Tiangong continent, there was an immortal barrier; that team of silver-helmeted immortal guards touched their iron spears together, their immortal patterns connecting, and the immortal spears bloomed with silver light, which then opened a crack in the immortal barrier, allowing the Chu Emperor to pass through.

Seeing this, the disciples and elders of the various sects in the immortal city were shocked in their hearts.

Even a top powerhouse like the Chu Emperor, the monarch of an Ancient Qin Xianchao, seemed to have to follow the rules here in the Tiangong.

After passing through the immortal barrier, they were instantly surrounded by thick immortal energy, which flowed through the immortal city and into the flying ship domain-grade artifacts.

Li Hao, staying in the main hall, could feel the immortal energy on the flying ship, which was four or five times denser than before; cultivating here would also be four or five times faster than outside, and if one's aptitude were sufficient, one might reach the Wen Dao Realm in just a few decades.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure shuttled through the air and arrived, wearing a black robe with a special symbol on it—an dark red phoenix tail.

"Feng Leixiang of the Phoenix Feather Clan, greets the Chu Emperor."

The black-robed middle-aged man bowed, but his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, his aura restrained; although he could not be compared to the Chu Emperor, he seemed to be an Immortal King Realm cultivator as well!

The Chu Emperor's expression was peaceful, having long been accustomed to the attitude of the people of the Tiangong, and he said: "My Yan-Chu's sons have all arrived."

"The Master is already waiting in the Tiangong Hall; please."

Feng Leixiang smiled and glanced at the immortal city in the Chu Emperor's hand, his expression unchanged.

The Chu Emperor nodded slightly and, led by the other party, flew slowly toward it.

"The Phoenix Feather Clan is also a strong clan among the hundred clans; they are an immortal beast clan, skilled in the Fire Dao and Thunder Dao."

The Great Dream Master gazed at Feng Leixiang and whispered to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded; the hundred clans of the True Realm were all formidable, and these clans also intermarried—for example, Yin Jingcheng was of the Profound Yin Clan, which was one of the hundred clans and also one of the Six Origin Clans among them.

The so-called Six Origin Clans were all part of the hundred clans, and it was only because they had certain alliances with the Profound Yin Clan that they formed a clan group; "Six Origin" was their collective name.

Even top clans needed to form alliances to stand firm for a long time; through generations of intermarriage and reproduction, they had long since permeated each other, and their relationships were complex.

"Every time we come here, we must first go to pay homage to the Immortal Emperor."

The Great Dream Master said to Li Hao, "This is also a rare opportunity. The Immortal Emperor is the true Emperor; even the Chu Emperor, or the emperors of other Ancient Immortal Dynasties, are only pseudo-emperors with empty titles in front of the Immortal Emperor, no different from the monarchs among mortals. It is only a verbal title within their own immortal dynasty; once they step out of their own immortal dynasty, they are nothing elsewhere."

"But the Immortal Emperor is recognized by all the Heavens. When the Immortal Emperor travels, the Emperor Dao reflects upon the True Realm; as long as the Immortal Emperor wishes, one can see the scene of his Emperor Dao travel anywhere in the True Realm, which is very terrifying."

Hearing her words, Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly; it was hard to imagine what kind of shocking scene that was.

But there was no doubt that the Immortal Emperor Realm was an unshakable existence in everyone's heart.

"Being able to see with your own eyes what the world's top powerhouse and top realm look like is a rare opportunity, but do not force yourself to look directly."

The Great Dream Master smiled and said to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded; although his Master, the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor, was also an Immortal Emperor, he had ultimately fallen, while the one before him was alive.

Soon, the Chu Emperor carried the immortal city and followed the Supreme disciple to the Tiangong Hall.

This palace was located above this continent, like a dazzling sun across the sky, at the very center and highest point of the continent.

It was like a divine sun, spreading brilliant heat and illuminating the entire continent.

There was no teleportation along the way, only travel at the speed of flight; the surrounding scenery flashed by like lightning, whizzing backward.

In the blink of an eye, the Chu Emperor led everyone to the Tiangong Hall.

This towering palace stood quietly in the air; outside the palace was a staircase stretching for nearly ten thousand miles, as white as jade, with silver-dust-like immortal guards on both sides, circling like a swarm of bees, patrolling the surroundings.

The Chu Emperor's Dharma manifestation was extremely towering, but as they arrived outside the Tiangong Hall, the Dharma manifestation gradually shrank, from ten thousand feet to a thousand feet, and finally to only a few dozen feet in size, and the immortal city in his hand also became smaller.

Feng Leixiang, in his black robe, stopped before the stairs, turned to look at the Chu Emperor, and gestured with his hand: "Please."

The Chu Emperor understood his meaning, as this was not his first time here; his expression was calm, his brow furrowed imperceptibly, and the immortal city in his hand flew up, growing larger above his head. Subsequently, the Chaos Ancestral Dragon coiled on the immortal city let out a dragon roar, carrying the imperial clan as it flew up and landed before the stairs.

Hearing the dragon roar of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, Feng Leixiang glanced at him, his eyes carrying a hint of peaceful signaling.

This peaceful and calm signaling was a warning not to disturb the existence within the Tiangong.

Feeling the condescension beneath that peace, the Chaos Ancestral Dragon snorted in dissatisfaction, glanced at him, and turned its body to send down the imperial clan members, including Chu Tianhuang, on its back.

"Little ones, get down; I cannot carry you here."

The Chaos Ancestral Dragon transmitted its voice to the many imperial clan members.

Chu Tianhuang and the others also jumped down sensibly, not daring to ride the dragon up to

the Tiangong.

At the same time, the many flying ship domain-grade artifacts in the immortal city also flew up, increasing in size, and figures leaped out from within.

"Go."

The Great Dream Master also led Li Hao to step off the flying ship and arrive at the Tiangong; to pay homage to that Supreme, one could only walk on foot.

Any flight or riding of immortal artifacts was an act of great disrespect.

Unless one had special permission from the Tiangong, but such existences were rare; for example, the personal disciple of that Supreme could travel and fly on their own.

In the blink of an eye, the disciples who had previously been in the domain-grade artifacts of the various sects all landed before these white jade stairs and gathered together.

Li Hao scanned the area and found that there were some unfamiliar, powerful auras in the crowd; he knew that these were likely the disciples guaranteed by the various sects, including the imperial family, as the Great Dream Master had said.

Like Yin Jingcheng and Meng Huaiyue, they were the guaranteed quotas of the Great Da Da Meng Jiuyuan, outside the thousand people.

As Li Hao looked around, several gazes soon fell upon him; Li Hao scanned the area, saw Lin Qingying's figure, could not help but smile at her, and gave her an encouraging look.

Seeing Li Hao's smile, Lin Qingying's mood, which had been tired and silent

all the way, suddenly became relaxed, and she smiled back at Li Hao.

The two's eye contact drew two other gazes; one shot from the imperial clan, and it was Chu Yueli.

Following Li Hao's gaze, she saw him flirting with a strange woman again and could not help but gnash her teeth.

His realm was not high, but his ability to flirt was not small; he hadn't married her yet, and she felt as if her head was already turning a bit green.

The other gaze came from the Ten Thousand Mountain Sword Tower; not far from Lin Qingying, Tian Hongyi, in snow-white clothes with a sword pattern on his chest, saw the smile blooming on the green-robed woman's face, looked in the direction of her gaze, and his brow immediately furrowed, his expression turning somewhat cold.

"Is this the Tiangong?"

"Does that Supreme live inside? The ten thousand clans of the True Realm, countless years, the end of cultivation—the Immortal Emperor!"

The disciples of the other sects were all looking up at the towering palace that seemed to reach the sky, and as far as their eyes could see, they could only see endless stairs and a corner of the palace at the end.

Thinking that they would soon see the Immortal Emperor with their own eyes, the many geniuses present were all eyes shining.

No matter how peerless a genius might be, the final destination of cultivation was the Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, the deeds of every Immortal Emperor spread throughout the True Realm, all treading

their own Emperor paths, influencing generations for ten thousand ages, constant and ceaseless.

"Chu Emperor, please."

Seeing that the disciples of the various sects had all come down from the immortal city, Feng Leixiang before the stairs smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the Chu Emperor again.

The Chu Emperor's Dharma manifestation was several dozen feet tall, still looking majestic, his gaze revealing a look of disdain amidst his calmness, and he followed Feng Leixiang's figure up the stairs.

Led by their sect masters or elders, the disciples of the various sects immediately followed step by step.

Li Hao stood with Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and the others, looking around as he walked; but the staircase was very long, and it was estimated that it would take half an hour to walk. He saw that the two beside him, except for looking around at the beginning, had been burying their heads and climbing the stairs, their brows tightly furrowed, as if they had something on their minds.

Murong Qingwu and Yue Xi were both women and had a close relationship; she gently nudged Yue Xi with her arm and said:

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Don't tell me you want the Immortal Emperor to vindicate your clan?"

Yue Xi was startled, looked around, and seeing that no one noticed her words, her expression changed, and she bit her lip:

"For the Immortal Emperor, this is just a matter of one sentence."

"It is indeed a matter of one sentence, but those in high positions have always been sparing with their words."

Murong Qingwu shook her head, clearly hoping that Yue Xi would dispel this thought, lest she anger that Supreme; after all, that was an Immortal Emperor, a high and unreachable existence, even to the point of doing whatever he pleased—a single thought could create or destroy, and no one could threaten him, unless the Great Emperors among the Ancient Demons joined forces.

"My clan has nothing to do with the chaos; although we have this power, my clan has never misused it."

Yue Xi bit her lip and said.

The Chaos Clan was hated by everyone in the True Realm and had a notorious reputation; when Li Tiemu brought her back to the Sword Abyss, he had also been under great pressure.

And her Dao heart and aptitude at the time were such that even the Ten Thousand Mountain Sword Tower had fought to have her, but after learning of her clan, it was the other way around; she wanted to join, but they wouldn't let her in.

"Public opinion is fearsome; as long as you wear dirty clothes, no one cares who put them on you—they will all say you are a beggar."

Murong Qingwu shook her head gently and sighed.

Beside them, Li Tiemu, who was traveling with them, heard their conversation, and his heart skipped a beat; he said to Yue Xi: "Grandmother, you must not do such a foolish thing. How could the Immortal Emperor care about these matters? Unless you can take a very high ranking in the Southern Domain War and gain the favor of the Supreme, you won't have the qualifications to speak."

Yue Xi gripped her fingers slightly, but she felt a sense of unwillingness in her heart.

Murong Qingwu said: "That's right; there is another way, which is to go to the Hundred Clans' Emperor War Mountain, where you will have the right to speak if you rank among the hundred clans."

Yue Xi naturally knew this path, but this path was not so easy; it was even more difficult and bloodier than the Southern Domain War.

"I know."

She said in a low voice, knowing that if she were impulsive, she might implicate everyone in the Great Da Da Meng Jiuyuan and even bring trouble to the Yan-Chu Qin Xianchao; at that time, the legend of the disaster brought by her Chaos Clan would be even more confirmed.

Beside her, Gu Yan glanced at her, and seeing her compromise, he slowly withdrew his gaze, his clenched hands relaxing, his expression returning to calmness.

As they climbed, the ten-thousand-mile-long staircase was finally finished, and everyone saw the Tiangong Hall where the Supreme resided.

They saw a towering palace standing tall, as if it were connected to the sky; around the palace were streams of light drifting, and that scene was exactly like the Great Dao Origin streams on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
