Chapter 501: Chapter 194: Approaching the Sky Spirit City, Divine Abyss Zhang Qiuye! (Major Chapter update!)_1

"Let’s go, we should rest and set off early tomorrow."

With that, Chen Chang’an glanced at the tower in front of him and walked towards it.

He chose not to explain to Shen Xuzi about Lin Qingxuan’s background, deeming it unnecessary.

"Sigh, lad, aren’t you worried at all?" Shen Xuzi could only helplessly follow him.

...

"Departure!"

Humm...!

The next day, a magnificent Flying Boat abruptly took off from the Taiyi Sect’s plaza, billowing endless clouds and fog as it soared towards the distant sky. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

On board the Flying Boat, Chen Chang’an and Lin Qingxuan sat facing each other on the deck.

"Senior Brother, allow me explain to you some information about the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion." Lin Qingxuan took out a piece of delicate, mist-emitting silk fabric from her sleeve and handed it over to Chen Chang’an.

Chen Chang’an picked up the silk and saw it depicted a map.

"Senior Brother, the place where the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion exists is called Tianling State. Tianling State is the central axis of our Tianyuan World."

"In normal times, the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion doesn’t appear. It only surfaces every ten thousand years during the time of the Time Resurgence Mirage."

"The time window when the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion appears is very brief, only about a week."

"When the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion appears, a lot of monsters will also emerge in Heaven and Earth."

"These monsters are not living creatures, but rather strange beasts laid down by some kind of special existence."

"These strange beasts have no consciousness and upon their appearance, they trigger mass killings. Each time when the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion opens, it spells disaster for the Tianyuan World."

"For this reason, the Five Great Dao Paths have taken on the responsibility of guarding the Tianyuan World from very early times."

"Accordingly, they have also obtained the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion!"

What Lin Qingxuan narrated was the origin of the Five Great Dao Paths’ control over Tianyuan, which has similarities with the ten sects each governing a part of Heaven and Earth in the Wuxiang realm.

And what if other powers refuse to comply? Momently, only strength rules all.

"It’s worth mentioning that after these primordial beasts that emerge from the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion are killed, they leave behind a type of stone known as the Soul Crystal."

"This stone contains an extremely high concentration of the Great Dao essence, and the higher the grade of the Soul Crystal, the more concentrated the Great Dao essence it contains."

"In the past, when the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion opened, a primordial beast capable of rivaling a Heavenly Venerate emerged."

"After that primordial beast was killed, the Soul Crystal it left behind, although only holding a trace, contained a Dao essence of a tenth realm Saint, which was frightening."

"According to some sects’ investigations, the top-tier Heavenly Venerates that appear from within the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion are not the apex. Our original Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Top Four Dao Paths have all mentioned in their records that there seem to be even higher-grade primordial beasts in the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion."

"They could be at the Great Heavenly Venerate level, or perhaps not quite there."

"As to whether such primordial beasts actually exist, the Five Great Dao Paths, including our own sect, do not know."

Lin Qingxuan continued to introduce Chen Chang’an to these facts, explaining very meticulously.

In particular, the matter of there possibly being primordial beasts that could rival the Supreme Heavenly Venerate or even a Great Heavenly Venerate inside the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, she explained in even greater detail.

Lin Qingxuan wasn’t sure why she was talking about this, because from her clear memories of her past life, when the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion opened in her previous life, no primordial beasts appeared that could compare with the Heavenly Venerate. The most formidable of them were just a few eighth realm primordial beasts on the same level as a Daoist Master.

And although those few primordial beasts were indeed terrifying, in the vast Tianyuan World, they couldn’t stir up any significant trouble.

But, it seemed different this time!

Ever since she met this Senior Brother who was supposed to be dead, she felt her memories of her previous life collapsing.

First was this unexpected elevation to Supreme Saint, and then yesterday’s ascension to sainthood. None of these events happened in her previous life.

So, with these precedents in mind, Lin Qingxuan wasn’t sure if there’d be unexpected events in this trip to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

In any case, it is best to be cautious.

"Senior Brother, we have arrived." After a while, Lin Qingxuan looked down at the emerging central city and said to Chen Chang’an.

The city had a name, Tianling City, which spanned tens of thousands of miles. It was extremely vast, making it the most populated city within this surrounding area of a million miles.

"Alright." Chen Chang’an nodded, and then he and Lin Qingxuan landed the Flying Boat. The two of them entered into Tianling City.

As the main city of Tianling State, the controllers of the various major Dao Paths naturally couldn’t ignore it. Therefore, almost every power figure in the Tianyuan World with some strength had a station in Tianling City.

Being one of the Five Great Dao Paths and a supreme force in the Tianyuan World, the Taiyi Sect naturally had its own stronghold in the city. Not only did it have a stronghold, but it was also quite a large one, controlling a large part of Tianling City and held in high esteem.

Of course, in comparison to sects like Dao One and Slaying God Sect, this prestigious status seemed to fall short.

This is very normal, given that despite their strength, the Taiyi Sect had suffered heavy loses. Their power was no longer at its peak and that they still managed to retain one of the Five Great Dao Paths was quite impressive. Aspiring to a higher position was practically impossible.
