Xi Zhu looked over strangely, but still politely said, "Taoist Friend, the Heavenly Emperor resides in Milo Hall, this is a well-known fact."

The Saint King said, "Have any of you ever seen that Heavenly Emperor?"

Xi Zhu solemnly replied, "How could we possibly see the Heavenly Emperor? Only those who have stepped into a Saint Position, worshipped into the Heavenly Court, and hold a Divine Position are qualified to be granted an audience with the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Since you've never seen him, how dare you claim he resides in the Thirty-Three Heavens?" The Saint King questioned.

Xi Zhu's eyes widened; even though the other party was a Saint, he found it a bit impossible to communicate, thinking his question utterly inexplicable.

Why in this world would anyone question the existence of the Heavenly Emperor?!

In the eyes of All Saints, this person seemed to have fallen into a demonic obsession.

This person's Daoist career wasn't considered low among Dao Ancestors, his Dao Fruit was near completion, and becoming a True Saint was merely a matter of time, so why was he so obsessed with that Heavenly Emperor?

If the latter were a Transcendent Ancestor, they could completely understand.

But the problem is, this person has never even met that Heavenly Emperor!

Just at this moment.

The entire Heaven and Earth was suddenly filled with an indescribable white light, vast and overwhelming, covering inside and out, filling the entire Heaven and Earth, illuminating everything to a white translucent state, even the Void seemed translucent.

Xi Zhu's expression changed in shock, and he hurriedly knelt down, as if in a formal audience.

The crowd looked on in amazement and doubt, checking their surroundings, and looking for the source of the white light.

The white light came quickly and disappeared just as fast, the dazzling white light soon vanished without a trace, and Heaven and Earth returned to darkness.

"What was that?" Someone asked in a deep voice.

The expressions of All Saints were not pleasant, whether stern, profound, or frosty.

At the moment the white light shone, their Primordial Spirit and Spirit seemed to freeze, their thoughts paused for a moment, it was simply unimaginable!

Such a Divine Skill was definitely a Transcender's method!

Xi Zhu, who had risen again, looked at All Saints with confusion and still explained to the Taoist Friends:

"That was the gaze of the Heavenly Emperor. From time to time, the Heavenly Emperor who sits high in the upper heavens will awaken briefly, open his eyes, and patrol this Heaven and Earth—Did the places you previously dwelled in not have the Heavenly Emperor's patrol?"

It was only at this moment that everyone realized why this Dao Ancestor was so firmly convinced of the Heavenly Emperor's existence and held such reverence—

"This guy is... 'a local'?"

"So, is this a certain existence's Inner Heaven and Earth?"

"An Inner Heaven and Earth that can give birth to a Dao Ancestor, being so close to a True Saint, is at least of the Ancestor Master level of Inner Heaven and Earth!"

"Could this be the remnant of the Netherworld Lord's Inner Heaven and Earth?"

"Wait—Patrol?!"

"Could it be that this person has already discovered us?"

All Saints privately established a communication channel, and at this moment, they were in an uproar, unified in their gaze towards Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu was currently engaging in a mental conversation with the Saint King.

"Where did you learn about the Heavenly Court?" The Saint King asked.

"In the Federation's Daoist Collection, it was more or less mentioned." Ji Jingqiu replied simply, and then asked, "Who proposed your construction of the Daluo Heaven with the five of you?"

"If you mean the overall structure of the Thirty-Six Layers of Heaven, it was proposed jointly by Taiyou and Nether Ruins." The Saint King said in a low voice.

"It seems that there are indeed issues among the five Divine Lords." Ji Jingqiu murmured.

The Saint King did not deny it, silently looking at the golden staircase in front, leading to an unknown destination.

Among All Saints, Kong Ming and Feng Ming, acting as representatives, stepped forward to inquire from Ji Jingqiu whether they could be discovered.

"If it were truly complete transcendence, would there still be a need for patrolling with a gaze? It's a matter of a thought." Ji Jingqiu said blandly, "Deliberately patrolling the world with a gaze, what do you think is being done? Do I have to spell it out for you?"

All Saints' hearts were shaken; was this to intimidate the world, constantly reminding all beings of one's existence?

"If the other party follows the Divine Dao path, then it makes sense." Someone whispered.

The rest instantly understood the implication in his words.

The purest path of the Divine Dao requires constant supplication and faith from followers.

Especially in times of unhealed injury.

And although they haven't seen anyone from this world, just looking at Xi Zhu alone was enough.

A dignified Dao Ancestor, without having seen the Heavenly Emperor, holds firm faith in his existence and is extremely reverent, only needing a glance to bow and pay respect...

Tsk.

Instead of underestimating, All Saints became even more cautious.

Because the Heavenly Emperor hidden behind the scenes is likely an old Transcender from the past, on the same level as this World Venerable.

"World Venerable elder, is the person behind this world your Taoist Friend from the past?" Mieyu tentatively asked, "If it's an acquaintance, wouldn't that avoid a conflict?"

Moments later.

Ji Jingqiu slowly said, "I hope it's not what I think."

All Saints were awe-struck; did even this person find it very tricky?

Ji Jingqiu turned back and said, "If you wish to leave, you may part ways here. Those willing to follow me may choose to stay."

For a moment, All Saints were silent, looking at each other.

To be honest, some among them indeed had a renewed intention to retreat; they followed because of the presence of the World Venerable, but now they had to contend with another ancient monster of the same level.

But the problem is, where could they retreat to now?

With Ji Jingqiu's permission, the Saint King suddenly asked, "World Venerable, in your view, is what lies ahead a blessing or a curse?"

"It's both a blessing and a curse, but whose blessing and whose curse, that can't be said." Ji Jingqiu looked into the distance and said, "But if we continue to procrastinate until this person fully recovers, it will most likely be a curse for the Sea of Realms."

All Saints were awe-struck.

Someone immediately looked at Xi Zhu and sternly asked how many years of heritage this world already had?

Xi Zhu hesitated, pondering for a moment, and answered that the most ancient could be traced back to 1,070,000 years ago.
