“He’s arrived…”
“Let him in.”
Xuan Ming waved his hand, signaling.
“Understood.”
The guard before the hall respectfully withdrew.
Soon.
The figure of Ancient Celestial Venerable slowly entered the Xuan Imperial Hall.
“Eternal…”
Xuan Ming’s eyes slightly moved, muttering to himself.
Eternal Daoists, their power doesn't reside within themselves like ordinary True Immortals. Their existence is almost imprinted within the entire Chaos. Their manifested bodies in the world can be considered avatars in a sense.
Therefore, unless they wish to manifest, no one below the Eternal Daoist realm can perceive their extraordinariness.
This could be seen from the guard's report earlier.
However, Xuan Ming, being one of the Eternal Daoists, clearly saw the profoundness imprinted with each step taken by Ancient Celestial Venerable, and the ancient banner behind him, carrying monstrous killing intent, its baleful aura so dense it materialized, faintly transforming into a river of death, with countless remnants of souls fluttering within.
If Ancient Celestial Venerable were to harbor murderous intent, without even using his own power, just releasing the remnants of souls and evil spirits from the ancient banner would be enough to disturb countless Heavens.
Of course, it would only be disturbance.
Within Xuan Ming’s own Chaos Heaven, just these beings that could be slaughtered at will by Ancient Celestial Venerable wouldn't cause too much of a stir.
“Little Immortal greets Your Majesty.” Ancient Celestial Venerable walked to the center of the hall and respectfully bowed towards Xuan Ming.
“Rise.”
Xuan Ming waved his hand casually.
“Well, have you ever seen other Chaos Heavens?”
Xuan Ming pondered slightly and asked.
From the system's description, it could be confirmed that there were many Chaos Heavens.
But Xuan Ming didn't know the specific situation.
Now that he had summoned the strongest from a Chaos Heaven, Xuan Ming naturally had to ask.
“Other Chaos Heavens?”
Ancient Celestial Venerable fell into thought.
“The Great Dao in the Chaos Heaven where Little Immortal resides is relatively weak, far inferior to the Chaos Heaven where the Immortal Court is located.”
“Therefore, Little Immortal stands in the depths of Chaos and can, through consciousness, surround the edge of Chaos, seeing things outside of Chaos. Over the long years, Little Immortal has seen the spectacle of other Chaos Heavens floating.”
After a moment, Ancient Celestial Venerable truthfully said.
“So that’s how it is.”
Xuan Ming nodded secretly.
“Little Immortal estimates that if one were to break through to Chaos Transcendence in their home Chaos, they might be able to leave that Chaos Heaven and, with a living body, wander these unknown floating Chaos Heavens.”
“However, it would only be limited to leaving the Chaos. The Chaos where the Immortal Court is located is extremely solid, far surpassing Little Immortal's home Chaos. Chaos Transcendent True Immortals should not be able to leave the Chaos, and thus cannot go to the unknown Heavens.”
Ancient Celestial Venerable thought for a moment and added.
“Oh?”
“It's similar to when I resided in the starry sky before.”
“It seems that there is always a higher heaven beyond, not just describing lower realms, but also higher Heavens. The Dao has no end, the Heavens have no limit.”
Xuan Ming was slightly surprised, murmuring to himself.
What Ancient Celestial Venerable said.
Reminded him of when he was in the starry sky Great Thousand World.
It was the same there, after reaching the Dominator realm, one could leave the Great Thousand World and wander the Chaos.
However, the realm here was much stronger than the Dominator realm.
“You may enter and cultivate for a period of time.”
Xuan Ming calmed his emotions, summoned the Divine Demon Enlightenment Garden, and said.
Ancient Celestial Venerable didn't hesitate and immediately stepped into it.
“The system must be from a Heaven beyond the Chaos level, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to summon the Ancient Celestial Venerable from another Chaos.”
Xuan Ming watched the vortex at the entrance of the Divine Demon Enlightenment Garden close, lost in thought.
At the beginning, he thought the system was a Chaos object. If he stepped into the Eternal realm or even Transcendence, he would be able to analyze its mysteries and unravel the reason for its extreme compatibility with him.
But now it seemed that the origin of the system was not that simple.
Tracing back to the system was a long and arduous journey.
“The Azure Emperor should be arriving soon.”
Ancient Celestial Venerable still needed a day to come out of the Divine Demon Enlightenment Garden.
Xuan Ming began to focus his energy on the Azure Emperor.
From the moment he began his return from the Immortal Domain, he had already reported the news to him. He estimated that the time was almost up.
In addition to that.
The Azure Emperor also told him the images and speculations of the items he brought.
“Aura of Fortune Imperial Seal, interesting…”
Xuan Ming stroked his chin, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
......
“Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.”
In the empty Chaos, a ray of azure light sped along.
It was the Azure Emperor returning to the Immortal Court.
The ancient ruins where the Aura of Fortune Imperial Seal was located were in a remote part of the Immortal Domain, extremely far away, and there were no teleportation arrays to use. The Azure Emperor couldn't leap across the distant Chaos to return to the Immortal Court.
As for returning to the Sacred Soul Immortal Clan.
There were countless mighty figures in the Immortal Domain, and the Azure Emperor was worried about losing the Aura of Fortune Imperial Seal.
Therefore, he didn't go through the Immortal Domain, but instead traveled through the lower Heavens.
And although the Azure Emperor's cultivation was unfathomable, he was worried all the way.
After all, the item in his hand was no small matter.
Even though he possessed the Dao Harmonization cultivation, he still felt uneasy.
“Hmm?! This is!!”
Just as the Azure Emperor was secretly praying.
His pupils suddenly shrank.
He keenly saw several Chaos Starships suspended ahead. He could vaguely see some figures standing before the Chaos Starships, holding weapons, with ill intentions.
“Could they be here specifically to intercept this Emperor? But why are they so weak?”
......
On the other side.
The place where several Chaos Starships were parked.
“After waiting for so long, we finally waited for a fat fish.”
Looking at the approaching azure light, the leader, a bald True Immortal, revealed a sneer.
They were a Chaos Bandit organization.
They specialized in wandering around the Chaos, searching for single targets or weak Heavens to plunder resources for a living.
It was fine before, but some time ago they offended a powerful force and had to flee far away, eventually flowing into this place. This place was extremely empty, with no Heavens and few living beings, resulting in dismal harvests.
Originally, they wanted to leave, but suddenly they sensed the flowing light fluctuation of the Azure Emperor's flight, and couldn't help but stop.
“Flying so fast, he must have some kind of Chaos treasure. If we seize it, we won't have to flee in such a sorry state like we do now when we encounter powerful forces in the future.” The bald True Immortal grinned.
What sensed the Azure Emperor's flight fluctuations was a Chaos Immortal Treasure that they had acquired at great expense. It was precisely because of such an item that they had been able to survive as Chaos Bandits for so long.
Because after this item sensed large-scale flight fluctuations, they would escape in advance. With this item, they had escaped many dangers, and with this item, they had also obtained many prey.
And the Azure Emperor, in order to avoid attracting attention.
Intentionally concealed his cultivation aura.
Causing these Chaos Bandits to not know the Azure Emperor's strength at all.
............
Seeing his fast speed, they thought it was caused by some kind of speed treasure.
Plus, they had no harvest during this time.
Causing them to set their sights on the Azure Emperor.
“Leader, the value of one person, no matter how great, is hard to surpass the Heavens. Judging from this person's flight speed, he seems to be rushing to a certain place.”
“If we can find out where he is going, perhaps we will have other good harvests.”
