The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1875 - 1872: Heavenly Domain Gate Opens Again!
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
————
Three months had now passed since the grand opening of the Emperor Road of All Heavens.
In the vast Xuanhuang Great World, above the boundless celestial expanse, a multitude of Divine Palaces had been erected.
These magnificent structures were meticulously constructed by the supreme overlords of the Nine States of Xuanhuang, serving as observation posts for the Emperor Road.
Day after day, immensely powerful beings would convene, intent on scrutinizing the unfolding events within.
However, discerning the true situation inside the Emperor Road proved exceedingly difficult; judgments could only be made through the Life Scrolls maintained within each Sect.
The shattering of a Life Scroll would invariably signal the demise of an entrant, a grim indicator of their fate on the Emperor Road.
In such calamitous instances, the Sect would then employ profound techniques to salvage a sliver of the departed's Soul, thereby enabling their reincarnation.
Do not be deceived by the seemingly modest nature of these methods, for in truth, they represented the final beacon of hope for those who ventured onto the Emperor Road.
To perish on the Emperor Road meant eternal oblivion, with no possibility of rebirth.
Embarking on the Emperor Road was a point of no return; the only outcomes were to reach its zenith or to meet one's end.
An alternative fate was to be violently expelled from the Emperor Road, abruptly cast out.
This particular scenario, however, was remarkably uncommon.
Consequently, any individual who emerged victorious from the Emperor Road was guaranteed to achieve extraordinary accomplishments.
It is worth noting that those who had previously menaced Ye Xuan at Zhongxuan Mountain, including Elder Liuyun, Shi Pojun, Daoist Benlei, and the infamous Elder Chu Demon, were all once participants of the Emperor Road.
Despite their formidable strength, having already attained the Great Saint Stage, they were constrained by the Heavenly Dao Suppression, limiting their capabilities significantly.
One might liken it to capsizing in a mere puddle.
Therefore, to resurrect an individual lost on the Emperor Road, the only recourse was to utilize the residual Soul Threads within the Life Scroll, attempting to guide the deceased's Soul back for reincarnation in the Underworld.
From this, it becomes abundantly clear.
The Emperor Road was a domain beyond the reach of even powers from the Netherworld or Underworld.
Now, three months had elapsed since the Emperor Road's commencement, and the majority of individuals from the Xuanhuang Great World who intended to enter had already done so.
It was on the third day following the opening that numerous onlookers witnessed the ascent of Saint Heir Qianjue into the Emperor Road, embarking on his journey alone.
Many harbored feelings of regret for this unparalleled prodigy, who had been unceremoniously expelled from the Primordial Hall.
Despite receiving numerous generous offers from various influential forces, Saint Heir Qianjue steadfastly refused them all, choosing instead to enter the Emperor Road as a solitary Loose Cultivator.
This decision evoked widespread lamentation.
On this particular day.
The environs outside the Emperor Road remained tranquil.
Not a single soul was present on the Emperor Road itself.
In the span of three months, hardly any individuals dared to take on the Emperor Road.
Even if they were to venture forth now, they would be woefully behind, missing the critical summit confrontations and forfeiting the chance to attain greater destinies.
Consequently, the populace waited.
They awaited what, precisely?
Naturally, they awaited the unsealing of the Heavenly Dao Suppression.
Only when the Heavenly Dao Suppression was lifted anew would new aspirants embark on the Emperor Road, striving to catch up with the initial wave of pioneers.
Within these three months, a palpable shift in the very fabric of the heavens and earth had been sensed.
This change was not confined to the Xuanhuang Great World; the Spiritual Energy across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds seemed to be stirring, faintly recalling the resplendent era of the Heavenly Dragon.
This monumental resurgence of Spiritual Energy had catalyzed the opening of numerous long-sealed Secret Realms within the Xuanhuang Great World.
The various Sects were not idle, diligently dispatching their younger disciples, those unable to ascend the Emperor Road, into these Secret Realms to seek out extraordinary fortunes.
Furthermore, the preeminent powers of the Xuanhuang Great World had also taken notice of these transformations, interpreting them as a sign that the Heavenly Dao Suppression was gradually weakening.
Certain formidable beings who had achieved the Great Saint Realm strength had demonstrably perceived advancements within their own cultivation during this period.
Their long-suppressed realms appeared poised to once again surge towards the Great Saint Realm!
This revelation brought forth immense jubilation.
They had endured a wait of three full months!
The Emperor Road was not merely a trial for the young; it was also a path for these exceptionally powerful individuals.
On this day, the routines of the people continued as normal.
Boom————
Yet, at this precise moment, a cascade of golden light erupted across the Sky Dome adjacent to the Emperor Road.
Within the Divine Palaces encircling the Emperor Road, the immensely powerful beings within extended their Divine Senses to investigate this anomaly.
“Heavenly Domain Gate?!”
Upon witnessing the golden luminescence, the gathered crowd expressed astonishment, emerging from their Divine Palaces to fix their gazes upon the spectacle unfolding above.
Across the vast Sky Dome, one by one, resplendent golden Heavenly Domain Gates unfurled, from which evolved ethereal golden steps.
Subsequently, an innumerable host of awe-inspiring figures descended from these Heavenly Domain Gates.
These newcomers exuded an aura so potent it seemed capable of engulfing rivers and mountains.
They all appeared remarkably youthful.
In total, there were nine such individuals.
"Could this be the Xuanhuang Great World?"
Inside one of the Heavenly Domain Gates, a man in golden robes stood, his hair like spun gold, pupils gleaming with a chilling golden aura. His gaze was proud, filled with innate disdain as he surveyed the many powerful beings in Heavenly State below.
"The absolute prodigies from the Heavenly Domain!"
Upon seeing this group, a formidable Great Sage Realm expert from a previous Heavenly Domain descent immediately announced their origin.
"Prodigies of the Heavenly Domain?"
The crowd was astonished. "Why have they arrived only now? The Emperor Road has been open for three months!"
The expert from the previous Heavenly Domain descent shook his head. "As you all know, the Heavenly Domain does not have the Heavenly Dao Suppression. The most exceptional prodigies have already ascended to the Great Saint Stage. Those appearing now are likely followers of that elite group, perhaps acting as scouts."
Those who were uninformed immediately understood the situation after hearing this explanation.
However, the overlords of the Nine States of Xuanhuang remained silent.
They were naturally aware of this matter.
They had also established significant powers within the Heavenly Domain, so how could they be unaware of its news?
Even within their own forces, peerless prodigies existed, though they had yet to descend to the Lower Realm.
The nine individuals who appeared before them were not affiliated with any of their forces, possibly disciples of sects within the Heavenly Domain.
The Heavenly Domain was composed of Thirty-Three Heavens.
Each layer was vast and boundless, with limitless territory, far exceeding the Ten Realms combined.
Throughout the long ages, formidable powers had naturally arisen in the Heavenly Domain.
And the nine heavenly prodigies appearing now evidently hailed from these powerful forces within the Heavenly Domain.
Seeing that these were not their own people descending, naturally, no one paid them much attention. Numerous powerful beings retreated into their Divine Palaces, uninterested in dealing with these individuals.
"Hmm?"
Yet, the nine absolute prodigies from the Heavenly Domain felt a sense of displeasure upon witnessing the indifference of the beings present.
Especially the proud, golden-haired man. His expression turned grim, and he said coldly, "These Lower Realm beings are truly disrespectful; despite our arrival, they dare to ignore us!"
"Jin Hai, it seems you’ve forgotten your ancestors hailed from this world."
At that moment, a beautiful woman in a tight white mini-dress chuckled lightly from beside the Heavenly Domain Gate.
Her every movement and smile exuded enchantment, yet it was chillingly cold.
Her hair was casually loose, and her six beautiful, white eyes blinked, appearing quite bizarre!
She was from the Six-Eyed Clan!
