Chapter 1258: Heaven and Earth may reshuffle, Kowtowing to the Heavens

The Nine Heavens, a legendary place, was not unfamiliar to ordinary creatures in the Immortal Domain. Many cla.s.sics and histories contained records about the Nine Heavens, describing it as a divine origin of immortals. Even some immortal kings in the fairyland had tried to seek its location, yearning to visit and uncover the path to the immortal Dao-building experts.

However, whether anyone had found the Nine Heavens remained unknown, and no one claimed to have seen it. Some dismissed it as mere rumor, a longing for an upper realm of immortality.

The old city lord continued to guide Qing Feng, instructing him to head east upon leaving the city of no return. He described a waterfall hanging from the dark sky, urging Qing Feng to follow it and search for the source where the hidden Nine Heavens might be found.

It was challenging to decipher the cryptic words of the old city’s lord. It remained unclear whether Qing Feng could authentically pinpoint the location of the Nine Heavens based on the knowledge handed down by his master.

Nine Heavens.

“I know, Master,” Qing Feng nodded, expressing his earnest acknowledgment. He understood the significance of the old city lord’s guidance and believed in the possibility ahead.

With the power of the sky dominating outside the Floating Realm, the collision and convergence of the two worlds had a profound impact across the ages. Qing Feng wasted no time, swiftly setting out on his journey. Riding a hornet beast, he transformed into an afterimage, embarking on the search for the Nine Heavens and the other seven wonderlands.

Aware that the Floating Realm would soon vanish and the external formation might cease to operate, Qing Feng aimed to return promptly after completing his quest.

Observing these events from a distance, Cen Shuang, riding Bixia and leaping among the mountains, gazed with a complex expression.

Soon after observing the unfolding scene, Cen Shuang swiftly turned around and plunged into the secluded land saturated with demonic energy. The thick, dark purple mist continuously emanated from this place, revealing cracks that released gusts of potent wind. She cried out determinedly, her spear cutting through the air with a heroic presence akin to an unrivaled war G.o.ddess.

In the Bi You Realm depths, a rift in the Cangming Realm harbored even more vital demonic energy, inhabited by more formidable demons. By defeating these demons, she could obtain energy crystals from their bodies, called demonic cores, from the cultivators in the city of no return. These cores served as energy sources to sustain the City of No Return, support its external formations, and protect the Floating Realm.

The fusion of the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm unfolded as an unstoppable force of heaven and earth. Even Immortal Kings could only observe, refraining from intervention. Involvement by ordinary cultivators would result in an instant explosion, annihilating both body and spirit, reducing them to ashes and nothingness.

The sky turned transparent, revealing numerous ancient visions. Cultivators in the fairyland witnessed the fusion of the two worlds. The territory of the Upper Realm displayed collapsing universes, but amidst the destruction, energies gathered—a new force emerging, shaping chaos and evolution.

Golden lotuses blossomed between heaven and earth, and crystalline rain fell, blessing every living being. Cultivators sensed a protective embrace from heaven and earth. Those with suppressed cultivation bases found clarity and released their bottlenecks. Some experienced sudden enlightenment, radiating a luminous glow and entering an indescribable wonderland.

Even ordinary individuals without a cultivation base saw ailments vanish, and their lifespans significantly extended.

The new heavenly Dao-building expert is conceived and born, blessing all living beings and spirits.

New power flows in, and a new era of Daoism emerges. This is a world rare in all ages.

Excitement filled the discussions among cultivators as endless heavenly lights radiated across the heavens and ten thousand realms. The new Dao-building expert abolished the incomplete laws of heaven and earth, marking the final unification of the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm. Although an adjustment period was expected, everyone was willing to wait.

Gu Changge’s figure appeared in the Divine Kingdom, his eyes carrying a thoughtful expression.

“My lord, it seems that the Divine Kingdom will need to expand its territory several times in the future. In the past few days, I have already contacted those immortal kings in the immortal domain. I’m thinking about how to determine the positions of the many long-lived families and immortal forces in the upper realm…”

Yin Mei continued, expressing concerns about the potential conflicts that might arise during the division of responsibilities. The lack of true immortals in the upper realm compared to the immortal domain posed a challenge, especially when dealing with different ethnic groups and immortal forces.

“I have considered this matter before. The unification of the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm is only the first step, and the Divine Kingdom is still in its preliminary stages,” Gu Changge replied.

“I will establish Dao rules, making a clear distinction between the immortal and the upper realm. These rules will be natural, and in the Cactus Fairyland, people will govern the upper realm, with immortal creatures refraining from interfering in the lower realm.”

Gu Changge s.h.i.+fted his focus and shared his plan with Yin Mei. The establishment of the Divine Kingdom initially served to coordinate the upper realm for subsequent plans.

The current prosperity and power of the Divine Kingdom exceeded Gu Changge’s expectations, attributing much credit to those around him—Yin Mei, Ji Qingxuan, Bai Lian’er, and others.

Despite being the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, he functioned more as a pa.s.sive overseer, leaving the day-to-day matters to his capable companions.

“Lord of the Immortal Domain? Human Lord of the Upper Realm?”

Yin Mei nodded, acknowledging the necessity of such distinctions. The potential threat of immortal figures descending to the lower realms was a concern, given historical instances of chaos caused by fleeing immortal figures.

As they worked on formulating the rules of the new covenant, Gu Changge collaborated with influential figures such as Moon King, Immortal King Ao Di, Old Immortal King Gu Xuan, and others to reorganize the immortal realm.

The universe in the palm brought all the broken universes back into the fairyland. Various shattered lands and universes were drawn from chaos, restructured, and rea.s.sembled. Amidst the surging chaos and divine light, a new universe emerged. Although the process was time-consuming, it was simple for the Immortal Kings.

Countless years after their separation, the Southern and Northern Immortal Domain collided again, finally restoring the integrity of the immortal domains. Gu Changge formulated the new covenant rules alongside this restoration.

Immortal beings were prohibited from descending to the lower realms. Violators would be imprisoned by the shackles of heaven, rendering their strength nonexistent.

The laws of the New Covenant materialized, imprinting the traces of the Dao-building expert between the two worlds and establis.h.i.+ng these rules. The shock among the immortal kings was palpable, as this act was akin to altering the rules of heaven and uttering actual words. The immense power displayed was beyond their wildest imagination.

Subsequent days were surprisingly peaceful compared to the earlier turmoil, leaving many creatures who had antic.i.p.ated a catastrophe in the immortal domain incredulous.

Ordinary beings, even true immortals, remained unaware of the happenings in the immortal domain, given the vast gap in levels between them and the immortal kings.

The stabilized environment of the two realms prompted numerous geniuses in the immortal domain to seize the opportunity for training in the lower realm and engage in battles against the upper realm’s geniuses. This great world presented an unparalleled opportunity for the younger generation, stirring envy among the older generations.

Both worlds experienced vigorous development, giving rise to numerous brilliant characters who shone with dazzling brilliance. After three years, rumors surfaced from the Immortal Domain, revealing that all Immortal Kings had voluntarily sought orders.

They urged Gu Changge to govern the Immortal Domain, rebuild the Immortal Palace, and restore its ancient glory. The news spread rapidly, creating a buzz among various ethnic groups and forces.

Throughout countless years, the Immortal Domain had existed without a ruler since the fall of the former Immortal Palace. As forces were reluctant to submit, no one had the strength to rule and unite this expansive territory.

The prospect of monopolizing a section of the universe and exerting dominance seemed preferable to living under someone else’s rule. The news generated speculation among cultivators, pondering the authenticity of the claims.

While the validity of the immortal kings voluntarily seeking orders remained uncertain, signs indicated that the unification of the immortal domain was an inevitable trend.

Similar to the unification of the upper realm, the unification of the Immortal Domain appeared imminent in only a matter of time.

The name of the Immortal Palace is tainted.

From today onwards, the Immortal Domain shall bear the name Heavenly Court.

In a magnificent palace, numerous Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain gathered, their expressions solemn and speech restrained. Besides those who attended the banquet at Moon King Mansion, several other Immortal Kings were present. Surrender seemed to be the only option unless they desired to confront Gu Changge, an inevitability.

As Gu Changge stood in the palace and uttered these words, a deep, booming sound reverberated between heaven and earth.

In the distance, a terrifying scene unfolded, marked by strange crimson lightning striking down from the universe. It seemed as if shadows of mountains of corpses and seas of blood accompanied the eerie screams and the rush of evil spirits from an endless distance. Even the Immortal Kings felt a chill down their spines, a sense of horror as if an indescribable ent.i.ty scrutinized them.

This is the great cause and effect.

The old Immortal King Gu Xuan’s expression was grave, understanding the implications behind the term “Heavenly Court.” The original Immortal Palace avoided this name due to the immense cause and effect that would eventually lead to backlash, decay, and collapse.

The power of the Immortal Palace, influential since the inception of the Immortal Domain, had a profound impact on many supreme existences in later generations.

In ancient times, various existences like the Court of G.o.ds, the Court of Demons, the Court of Saints, and the Court of Immortals existed briefly before collapsing in the river of time.

Establis.h.i.+ng such power required enduring unimaginable cause and effect, possessing supreme authority, and having the will to rule the heavens and myriad domains. The many Immortal Kings present understood this more deeply than ordinary individuals.

A significant part of this ma.s.sive cause and effect stemmed from a curse. Before the ancient era, there was a Heavenly Court. At that time, many mythical existences existed. However, the reasons for the collapse and destruction of the Heavenly Court remained unknown.

“The first generation Lord of the Heavenly Court was a figure from the age of innate mythology. According to Ao Ling, he perished in a grand and tragic battle…”

Immortal King Ao Di wore a complex expression as he shared insights gained from his ancestor Ao Ling. Ao Ling had hinted that shortly, some of the oldest beings, including her former brothers, might return.

This revelation shocked Immortal King Ao Di, considering Ao Ling’s lineage traced back to Ao Zu, the ancestor of all dragons. The return of such ancient beings hinted at a significant upheaval in history, leaving even an Immortal King feeling uneasy.

On this day, the resounding sound of the Supreme Dao-building expert echoed across the universe, accompanied by grand and ancient sounds of sacrifice, world sounds, and prostration sounds, resonating worldwide.

Simultaneously, magnificent temples and structures ascended from the center of the Immortal Domain. Radiating resplendent brilliance, they possessed a majestic aura capable of influencing the heavens and myriad realms.

In unison, many Immortal Kings reopened training grounds in the chaos, creating a grand spectacle. Countless chaotic particles surged within, and the resulting fluctuations swept across various domains.

Amid it all, Gu Changge stood at the center, drawing the power of all living beings from the shadows. This action reflected the ancient understanding that the will of all living beings could both come from and be fed back to them.

“Heavenly Court, stand today!”

A majestic voice resonated from the dojo, causing a sensation in numerous universes and stirring waves among various life forms. At this moment, the boundless power of faith in the heavens and earth found its direction, surging toward the temples and buildings, aiming to converge within.

A magnificent and majestic silver river could be seen in the upper realm, pouring into the Immortal Domain and heading straight for the dojo.

The Heavenly Court, grand and glorious, featured a colossal figure seated cross-legged within, towering higher than the universe. It emitted divine light akin to the radiance of millions of stars positioned at the very center of the world. Creatures from all walks of life bowed down, proclaiming, “I’ll wait, bow down to heaven!”

Even the weakest among them, the true immortals, faced the direction of the Heavenly Court with unparalleled reverence.

Voluntary power, drawn from all living beings, can also be fed back to all living beings.

Gu Changge stood in heaven, sensing the power of faith emanating from all corners. His celestial body was reflected in the heavens, magnificently grand with an immeasurable extent. From the power of these vows, he could perceive and understand the thoughts of all living beings.

Although the Heavenly Court had just been established, many Immortal Kings were already seated. The background of the dojo remained unfathomable. The existence of the Divine Kingdom in the upper realm provided excellent shelter for the Immortal Domain, and a continuous stream of faith fervently poured in.
