Nine Heavens Divine Court.
A mysterious small world.
Within this small world, numerous figures, both distinct and indistinct, rise and fall, each possessing immense power.
Some even emanate a faint aura of immortal spirit.
Before them, a water-mirror appears.
Within it, the scenes of the Nine Heavens Grand Competition in the Nine Heavens Grotto unfold.
Finally, a voice breaks the silence:
"It seems the younger generation of prodigies in the Nine Heavens Continent are quite promising this time. Quite a few have reached the God-King Realm!"
"Indeed, they have improved compared to previous generations. To reach the God-King Realm before the age of five thousand is quite a feat. Even in the逍遥 Immortal Mansion, they would qualify as disciples!"
"That's to be expected. After all, they come from top-tier forces in the Nine Heavens Continent like the Jade Pool of the Nine Heavens, the Cloud Heaven Palace of the Nine Heavens, and the Purple Cloud Pavilion of the Nine Heavens. Many who have left the Nine Heavens Continent from these sects have already ascended to immortality and hold Elder positions in the逍遥 Immortal Mansion!"
"However, what if they discover what we're doing?"
"Hmph, how could they discover it?"
Just then.
A middle-aged man speaks from the forefront.
"Do you think they would care about these worldly forces once they have embarked on the path of immortality?"
"Besides, the Nine Heavens Divine Court controls all entry and exit to the Nine Heavens Continent. Even they cannot enter without my permission!"
"They cannot leave the Nine Heavens Continent, and they cannot enter at will. How would they know?"
"If this method didn't require special blood, I would have long since sacrificed those God-Emperors, those pigs and dogs that are being raised in pens!"
"According to what we know, this corpse fell from the Chaos. The strength it possessed before its death was absolutely terrifying!"
"To be able to tread in the Chaos, one must be at least an Immortal King. If a True Immortal tries to enter the Chaos, their body will be instantly torn apart by the chaotic currents upon death!"
"This woman fell from the Chaos and still possesses such formidable residual power. Even with my strength, I cannot approach within ten zhang of her. This is merely the pressure of her corpse. If she were in her prime, even an Immortal King would find it hard to resist!"
"It is very likely she was a hegemon of a higher-level Immortal Domain!"
"If we can revive her, she will be bound to us by karma. With this layer of karma, even if she doesn't care about us, it will be enough to elevate us to a higher level!"
"Perhaps the Nine Heavens Divine Court, the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, can replace the逍遥 Immortal Mansion!"
The others nod, deeply agreeing.
For such a forbidden existence, surpassing even True Immortals, possibly a peerless Immortal King from a higher-level Immortal Domain.
If they could revive her using the secret methods of the ancient Immortal Era, the benefits they would reap would be unimaginable.
Unfortunately, the special bloodlines of the Nine Heavens Continent are too rare.
Even after hundreds of millions of years, they have not been able to gather them all.
But they dare not gather them from the逍遥 Immortal Domain. In the Nine Heavens Continent, they are the masters, and they can do whatever they want.
But in the逍遥 Immortal Domain, that is not necessarily the case.
If they were to capture someone with a special bloodline, and that person was backed by an Immortal Clan, a universe, or a peerless True Immortal, then the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance would have to think twice.
The Nine Heavens True Immortal is only in the late stage of the True Immortal Realm. He can be considered at the peak in the逍遥 Immortal Mansion, and an absolute powerhouse in the逍遥 Immortal Domain, but he is not invincible.
If word got out that they were trying to revive a forbidden existence, the entire逍遥 Immortal Domain would be drawn here.
They would rather spend more time on the revival than take such a risk.
Anyway, the one thing they don't lack is lifespan.
Immortals, if there are no accidents, and no great calamity like the one that occurred in the ancient Immortal Era, can be said to be immortal and eternal!
Hundreds of millions of years, though long, is not unacceptable.
But now, the day of harvest is finally coming.
After this time, when those contestants die, their special bloodlines will enter the ancient altar of the Nine Heavens Grotto.
At that time, the ancient forbidden existence will absorb these special bloodlines and awaken.
This is something they obtained from a fragment of the Chaos Burial Sea.
The Chaos Burial Sea is where countless Immortal Dao powerhouses who died in the ancient Immortal Era are buried.
At the same time, many inheritances are also buried there.
This blood-devouring resurrection array is a forbidden technique of the ancient Burial Clan. It can revive corpses and transform them into members of the Burial Clan.
Moreover, it can also preserve memories, allowing them to become Golden Burial Immortals among the Burial Clan, a terrifying prospect.
Only then do they dare to do this. If she were uncontrollable and had no memories, they would not dare to revive a suspected forbidden existence.
"One month. In one month, the forbidden one will be revived!"
…
Nine Heavens Grotto.
Lin Qiyue wanders aimlessly through the Nine Heavens Grotto.
She has no intention of searching for Divine Crystals. For her, obtaining first place in the Nine Heavens Grand Competition is as easy as turning her hand.
Admittedly, there are some amazing individuals among the younger generation participating in the Grand Competition, who have reached the God-King Realm.
Such as Yun Feiyang, the Divine Son of the Cloud Heaven Palace.
He is said to possess the Ascendant Immortal Body, a natural Immortal Body. Ascending to immortality is only a matter of time.
Such as Qin Mengyao, the Divine Daughter of the Jade Pool, who is said to have been born with a mouthful of Primordial Qi, which she refined into the Western Flower Primordial Spirit Golden Qi, an incredibly terrifying power.
But this is irrelevant to Lin Qiyue.
Even Yuwen Yue, who ranks in the top three of the nascent Immortal List, can only barely defeat her in the same realm. According to Yuwen Xing, the others are still some distance away from being considered paragons.
In recent days, she has learned a lot about the Profound Heaven World from Yuwen Yue and Yuwen Xing.
In the Profound Heaven World, those who are not paragons are all ordinary, even those with Immortal Bodies and various special bloodlines are just ordinary.
Above the paragons are the young supreme beings.
To become a paragon, one needs to condense a strand of Immortal Qi while in the God Realm.
And to become a young supreme being, one needs to condense two strands of Immortal Qi while in the True God Realm.
As for the legendary Emperor aptitude, one needs to condense three strands of Immortal Qi and bloom the Flower of the Great Dao.
Even Yuwen Xing and Yuwen Yue have never heard of such a person.
Lin Qiyue remembers the goal her master set for her before leaving: to become the Heavenly Profound Empress.
Otherwise, she would not be worthy of being her disciple.
In other words, to become the Heavenly Profound Empress, one must first possess Emperor aptitude.
In recent days, she has been condensing Immortal Qi and has finally condensed one strand.
Now, she can be considered a paragon.
Her realm is higher than others, and she is also a paragon, possessing a paragon divine ability.
The young geniuses of the Nine Heavens Grand Competition are naturally not worth her attention.
Unknowingly.
Lin Qiyue arrives at a mysterious place in the Nine Heavens Grotto.
There, the void is blood-red, and even with Divine Sense, one cannot see through it.
But she feels the summoning growing stronger and stronger.
This blood-red area is clearly filled with ominous signs, but Lin Qiyue only hesitates for a moment before stepping into it without hesitation.
The moment she steps inside.
In an instant.
The endless sea of special bloodlines, accumulated for hundreds of millions of years and flowing deep beneath the earth for thousands of miles, suddenly erupts.
In that moment.
The entire Nine Heavens Grotto trembles, the earth shakes, and the sky collapses…
From all over the Nine Heavens Grotto, endless blood, drawn by a mysterious force, surges directly towards the blood-red ominous place.
Finally.
In the blood-red ominous place of the Nine Heavens Grotto, the corpse that was lying quietly suddenly emits a series of heartbeats.
This sound echoes throughout the entire Nine Heavens Grotto.
The mere sound of the heartbeat causes many of the younger generation to cough up blood.
At this moment, Lin Qiyue finally sees the altar.
"This… how is this possible?"
Looking at the altar, Lin Qiyue is filled with shock.
Because.
That figure is too familiar!
