Chapter 357: Two Palaces Appear in the World

"Jidao, you lost!"

The magnificent voice rang out in the vast stars, but only a few people could hear it.

"Emperor Xuan Cheng, it is too early to say this." The voice of Emperor Jidao rang out.

"Jidao, for the sake of this world, you wouldn't even want your face, would you?"

"Emperor Xuan Cheng, stop fooling around!

I just said it is too early to discuss winning or losing at this moment, but I didn't say I wouldn't fulfill the bet." Emperor Jidao said.

"That's right, not to that extent."

Another magnificent voice rang out from the stars.

"Huaqing, you are here."

"Jidao, although it is too early to discuss winning or losing at this moment, you have indeed lost this bet. You cannot monopolize this world anymore." Emperor Huaqing, who had just arrived, said.

"Naturally."

"Since you are willing to bet and lose, Jidao, then hand over the authority of this world." Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng said.

"Emperor Xuan Cheng, if I could directly hand over the authority of this world to you, why would I sit and watch the Eight Desolations Holy Clan run rampant again in the place where I attained the Dao?" Emperor Jidao said, "If I could hand it over, I have countless disciples and grandchildren, I wouldn't even need to send a Tianyang Xingjun, I would only need to send a Ninth Tier peak expert over, and I could sweep across this world; where would your opportunity come from."

"That is indeed the case!

Don't look at how Jidao beat the Eight Desolations Holy Clan out of this world back then, and even shattered the Eight Desolations Holy Clan's domain in this world, but the Eight Desolations Holy Clan is no small matter; when Ju Chun and Zhu Li withdrew from this world, they also completely shattered this world's origin, making any external power unable to descend directly." Emperor Huaqing said.

"Then what should be done?" Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng asked.

"Emperor Xuan Cheng, Huaqing, when I attained the Dao and left this world back then, I used the Star-Plucking Tower to suppress it, assisting its growth, and at the same time, I imposed seal restrictions on your sect inheritance places.

Now that I am willing to bet and lose, I can give each of you one percent of the Star-Plucking Tower's total tower authority, which is enough to break the seal restrictions on your sect inheritance places, allowing your disciples to walk in this world without any restrictions from now on!

As for whether you can seize the authority, it depends on the ability of your respective disciples." Emperor Jidao said.

"One percent is too little, make it two percent."

"When I left back then, most of the authority was devolved, and only four percent remained; for your two sides, at most one and a half percent each."

"Agreed."

"Good."

Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng and Emperor Huaqing both agreed to this, and afterward, Emperor Jidao said again, "With this authority, you two can obtain the authority to control the Star-Plucking Tower's total tower, and then use this authority to unseal your two sects."

"Good!"

Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng and Emperor Huaqing both agreed.

"But there is one thing that must be stated first. After your two sect inheritances break the seals and integrate into this world, although this world will be chaotic, all the laws and Great Daos will be completed; it won't be long before Ninth Tier experts will appear like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

But at the same time, many secret places in this world that were sealed by me will also appear.

By then, the descendants of our three parties must participate in any kind of secret place.

Responsibility and interests must be borne simultaneously." Emperor Jidao said.

"This is natural." Emperor Huaqing said.

Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng pondered for a few breaths, "If so, then wouldn't those other Middle Worlds also be able to connect with this world?"

"Under the Great Dao of the Heavens, nothing is forbidden!"

"Hahaha, good!" Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng

"This is the authority over the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower that I promised you. Take it."

Two clusters of brilliant radiance flew over the Star Sea, instantly emitting extremely alluring power fluctuations.

During their flight across the Star Sea, countless vast auras and grand wills stirred above various star regions, but they only stirred for an instant before being terrified away by the aura attached to them by the Extreme Dao Emperor!

Although extremely far, it was extremely fast!

The next instant, one of the clusters of brilliant radiance vanished into thin air, having been taken by Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng.

Almost simultaneously, a bolt of thunderous lightning streaked across half the Star Sea, snatching away the other cluster of brilliant radiance!

After Emperor Emperor Xuan Cheng and Emperor Huaqing left, the Extreme Dao Emperor looked from afar at the world where he had attained the Dao!

There, a lamp flickered like a bean!

He looked back once more at the distance behind him, where a cerulean world was shining brightly!

Mount Sumeru Palace.

The name of Mount Sumeru Palace, whether in the present world or the Star River Battlefield, is known to all.

But whether in the present world or the Star River Battlefield, very few people know where Mount Sumeru Palace is located.

There are even many rogue cultivators in the present world who, admiring the name of Mount Sumeru Palace, want to join it, but after exhausting half their lives and asking everyone in the world, they still cannot find its location.

In the end, they spend half their lives in poverty and die with regret.

In fact, it is not their fault that they cannot find it.

It is because Mount Sumeru Palace is simply not in the present world.

Only the few major forces that have connections with Mount Sumeru Palace can find its entrance.

Mount Sumeru Palace is actually an existence similar to a star region.

It is a star region like a snowy realm.

Above the peaks of the snow-capped mountains within the star region, the continuous complex of buildings is where Mount Sumeru Palace is located.

The tens of thousands of core disciples of Mount Sumeru Palace all live and cultivate here.

But today, a loud, hearty laughter suddenly erupted from the Palace Master's main hall at the highest point.

Hearing this familiar laughter from the Palace Master, the disciples also broke into smiles one after another.

The Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace is the master of this world; if the Palace Master is happy, their lives are easy.

Since the Palace Master was laughing so heartily, they were naturally happy.

But unexpectedly, the Palace Master's laughter grew wave after wave, each higher than the last, ceaselessly.

In the end, it was like spring thunder shaking the wilderness. The laughter was so intense that the heavy snow on the entire mountain began to fall, and amidst the laughter, the very space of the star region where Mount Sumeru Palace is located seemed to begin to twist!

And even vanish!

Looks of terror appeared on the faces of all the disciples.

Below the snow-capped mountains, countless commoners within the Mount Sumeru Palace star region were inexplicably terrified.

"No need to panic! This is a heaven-sent opportunity. From today on, my Mount Sumeru Palace no longer needs to guard this bitter, cold land!

From today on, the seal on my Mount Sumeru Palace for three thousand years is lifted.

From today on, my Mount Sumeru Palace will completely merge into the present world.

From today on, all disciples of my Mount Sumeru Palace may walk freely in the present world.

And from today on, my Mount Sumeru Palace is about to enter and rule the present world!"

At the peak of the snow-capped mountains, the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace, having received the Ancestor's decree, shook the wilderness with his voice.

At that very same moment, the star region barrier of this small world of Mount Sumeru Palace began to vanish, as if it had never existed.

The scorching sunlight of the present world shone upon the Mount Sumeru Palace at the peak of the snow-capped mountains, instantly illuminating it until it shone with golden splendor!

Inside a palace at the peak of the snow-capped mountains.

Princess Haoyue of Mount Sumeru Palace looked with pleasant surprise at the scorching sun that had suddenly appeared.

This was exactly the same sun she had seen a few months ago!

"Father, is what you said true?" Haoyue stood inside her palace and shouted loudly toward the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace at the peak of the snow-capped mountains.

A beam of starlight shone down and landed on Princess Haoyue. "Of course, silly child, haven't you already seen it?"

"Father, then I want to go to the present world right now."

"You are already in the present world." The phantom of the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace pointed to the mountains and cities that had just appeared in the distance and said, "From now on, you can walk in the present world as you please, until you are tired of wandering!" The Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace laughed dotingly.

"Then I want to go right now."

"What are you going there for?" This surprised the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace.

"I have a friend who is said to have died, and I want to go investigate."

"A friend? One you met last time?"

"No."

"Then leave it to Father to help you investigate."

"No, I want to investigate it myself and find out everything!" Princess Haoyue said, biting her silver teeth.

"That won't do."

"Father!"

"The Ancestor has passed down a decree. When our Mount Sumeru Palace seal is lifted, the Mount Sumeru Secret Realm, sealed for three thousand years, can also be opened. It contains profound accumulations! You and your fellow disciples will be the first batch to enter."

Zuiyue Xianzi Haoyue wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the sharp gaze of the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace. "You must go! Your business can be handled, but only after you come out!

My Mount Sumeru Palace has reappeared in the world.

This is a great opportunity for our generation of Mount Sumeru Palace disciples, but it is also a great danger!

You know how dangerous and complex the present world is!

The Ancestor passed down the decree to lift our seal, and we have also entered this world of great contention!

And you disciples who are the first to enter the Mount Sumeru Secret Realm will determine the future foundation of our Mount Sumeru Palace, understand?" the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace shouted.

After a long while, Zuiyue Xianzi Haoyue nodded. "I understand, Father! But when I come back, you cannot stop me!"

"Yue'er, when have I ever lied to you!"

At the same time that Mount Sumeru Palace was unsealed and entered the present world, the clouds and mist that had lingered for years in the southern barbarian mountains suddenly dispersed, revealing another magnificent continent.

It had mountains, water, and valleys, all lush and verdant!

There were even several large-scale cities and a palace located deep in the forest!

A similar scene to that in Mount Sumeru Palace was also unfolding in the Wood Spirit Palace.

At that very same moment, snowflake-like urgent messages flew into the Star-Plucking Tokens of the major giants of the present world.

Mount Sumeru Palace is in the northern present world.

Wood Spirit Palace is in the southern present world.

It was not an appearance.

It was that the entire territories of Mount Sumeru Palace and Wood Spirit Palace had appeared on the continent of the present world.

Tianyang Xingjun Tianyang, Tianyang Xingjun Cangming, Tianyang Xingjun Zhen'e, and the Grand Master of Great Chen were previously shocked by the matter of the Saint Clan's ancestral land cave heaven connecting to the star region, and were still frantically mobilizing elites from all sides, trying every possible way to stop those star regions that were connecting but had not yet connected to the ancestral land cave heaven.

At this moment, they were directly stunned by this news!

They knew the inside story!

Mount Sumeru Palace and Wood Spirit Palace were independent of the world, and the space they occupied seemed to be a star region but was not.

Moreover, it was extremely difficult for disciples of Mount Sumeru Palace and Wood Spirit Palace to come out.

They needed to be granted a token by someone with authority over the Star-Plucking Tower to come out.

This was the fundamental reason why, although Mount Sumeru Palace and Wood Spirit Palace were powerful and absorbed countless riches, they had no influence in the present world.

But now, suddenly, they had merged!

They had become a part of the present world!

What on earth had happened?

Without anyone needing to call an emergency meeting, almost immediately, the power giants of the present world appeared in the conference room of the Star River Marshal's Mansion.

Three Star Lords, the Grand Master of Great Chen, two Emperors, and the Star River Marshal—this was the highest-level meeting.

But just as these seven people sat down, two rays of light, one silver and one green, fell out of thin air into the Star River Marshal's Mansion conference room.

Who else could it be but the Palace Master of Mount Sumeru Palace and the Palace Master of Wood Spirit Palace?

While everyone was astonished, the Star Spirit, who would not appear unless summoned in the past, suddenly condensed its form and explained the ins and outs of the matter to everyone!

Mount Sumeru Palace and Wood Spirit Palace unsealed and merged into the present world?

Obtained the authority over the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower?

The branch buildings owned by the two palaces would be upgraded to main buildings within ten days, connecting to all the main buildings of the Star-Plucking Tower?

The ancestral land cave heaven of the Eight Desolations Saint Clan, which had been expelled and sealed before, had been unsealed and merged into this world!

The Eight Desolations Saint Clan and the human race are mortal enemies for generations, and not just in this world!

Message after message left the power giants of the present world shocked beyond measure!

And the changes in the present world and the Star River Battlefield had only just begun!
