Gu Xiu is devoured by Little Ball after Su Chen heals it. Su Chen claims the top three spots in the competition, solidifying his academy's dominance. Mu Lijian gifts Su Chen the "Nine Heavenly Layers of the Firmament" as a dowry for his daughter, Mu Feiyan. Feng Xi propositions Su Chen to kill someone for her, revealing his past encounter with Demon Young Master Wu Tun. Su Chen is then summoned to the Saint Emperor's court.

Half a month later.

Saint Emperor Court.

The location of the Saint Emperor Court is situated in the southeastern region of the Grand Cosmos World.

Normally, as a First-Class Force, its plane should be extremely large; however, the Saint Emperor Court is different. The Saint Emperor Court is not large, nor has many martial cultivators. The entire plane, altogether, unexpectedly only accommodates roughly one billion people. Although one billion seems like a lot, in fact, in the Grand Cosmos World, even an Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank Power has more martial cultivators than this.

Yet, despite the small population, it does not affect the esteemed status of the Saint Emperor Court.

Almost supreme status.

Before the grand era arrives.

The strongest forces in the Grand Cosmos World are the Zhuo Family, Xiang Family, and Mo Family, the three top-level First-Class Forces.

However, even these three top-level First-Class Forces absolutely dare not easily provoke the Saint Emperor Court.

The Saint Emperor Court is too mysterious.

Especially the Royal Family of the Saint Emperor Court. There are rumors that the Royal Family of the Saint Emperor Court is not native to the martial cultivators of the Grand Cosmos World, but rather hails from far beyond the Flame Universe Plane. Of course, among those who understand the universe and know the Flame Universe Plane is one among many, there are very few people in the Grand Cosmos World.

The location of the Saint Emperor Court is set amidst a void sea.

This void sea, renowned as the Dark Sea!!!

Why is the Dark Sea so famous? Because, in ancient times, when the Divine Demon Clan swept across the Grand Cosmos World, invading from the Dark Plane into the Grand Cosmos World, nine passages were opened in total. Among them, the largest and most renowned passage was the Dark Sea.

That day, the Dark Sea covered the sky, boiling black, countless monsters from the Divine Demon Clan surged from the Dark Sea, raging fiercely onward.

Legend has it that the Dark Sea was originally just an ordinary sea, but after that day, it became black, pure black. Some say the demonic Qi from the Dark Plane eroded the Dark Sea.

The Saint Emperor Court’s small population and mystery have a significant connection with the Dark Sea. The legends of the Dark Sea, its color, and the oppressive feeling it gives people lead to very few martial cultivators willing to reside long-term on the plane suspended in the center of the Dark Sea.

At this moment.

In the pitch blackness of the Dark Sea like a starless night sky, you can’t see your extended fingers.

But, in the very center of the expansive Dark Sea, raging waves continuously crash, stirring up a deafening sound. A massive, disk-like elliptical plane suspends in the air. On the plane, it’s brightly lit.

This plane is precisely where the Saint Emperor Court is located. Year after year, day after day, the Saint Emperor Court constantly illuminates the Pointing Mystic Lamp.

A row of special, Gothic-style buildings, each unique, unevenly scattered, giving a sense of metallic hard beauty.

The main city of the Saint Emperor Court is named the Imperial City.

At this moment, in the tallest and largest building within the Imperial City.

It’s bustling.

To be precise, it’s lively inside a dark gold hall within this massive building.

Rows of wine tables are set inside the great hall.

Inside the hall, there are over a thousand people.

The vast majority are young people.

The young martial cultivators wear neat, metallic armor-like clothes, hang top-level life-bound Emperor Weapons, drinking or conversing continuously.

Moreover, some young men look at the women dancing in the center of the hall with visible interest in their eyes.

Among these young people, there’s a faint division into several groups.

One group is the First Prince, the Saint Emperor Court’s First Prince Wu Xuan. As the First Prince, Wu Xuan inherited the excellent genes of the Sovereign or Court Master. Presently, Wu Xuan can independently delve 30,000 meters below the Dark Sea. He is the most outstanding among the Sovereign’s princes.

Wu Xuan is also the only child of the Sovereign’s most beloved consort, Consort Li.

Besides, Wu Xuan has inherited the Sovereign’s Triple Pupils, considered the prince most resembling the Sovereign.

What’s even more terrifying is Wu Xuan now, just 100,000 years old, well, after many cycles of reincarnation, this life is 100,000 years old, still considered the younger generation. After all, after reincarnation comes a new beginning; 100,000 years of age yet already at the Boundless Eight Desolations Realm’s Seventh Layer. This level of realm speaks volumes, even with the Saint Emperor Court being low-key and not letting Wu Xuan emerge; otherwise, the likes of Zhuo Ming, Xiang Zhong, and Mo Wentian are rubbish.

In truth, within the Saint Emperor Court, there is always disdain for the Mo Family, Xiang Family, and Zhuo Family, the three explicit top-level First-Class Forces. In the eyes of many martial cultivators in the Saint Emperor Court, if the Sovereign were willing, the Saint Emperor Court could sweep over the Mo Family, Xiang Family, and Zhuo Family.

Unfortunately, the Sovereign’s more interests and vigor are in the Dark Plane.

Indeed, in the eyes of many top-level martial cultivators in the Saint Emperor Court, Wu Xuan should have long been made the Crown Prince, but sadly, the Sovereign has yet to appoint him as the Crown Prince.

Due to Wu Xuan’s excellence, many people gather around Wu Xuan. These young people gathered around Wu Xuan appear to be young, but they have forces behind them. Moreover, those invited tonight are from good forces.

In the entire venue of 1,450 young people, nearly a third are gathered around Wu Xuan.

Besides Wu Xuan, in another corner is a burly man chugging wine. Although he looks young, he’s somewhat unkempt and seems older, but in fact, he’s just over 80,000 years old. His name is Gong He, the Sovereign’s Second Prince. He’s also undergone many reincarnations.

A significant number of people are gathered around Gong He, approximately one-sixth of the young people in the hall. Sadly, Gong He appears entirely uninterested in engaging with the young people gathered around him, drinking alone, leaving those near him quite helpless.

Gong He is a Martial Fool.

A pure Martial Fool.

But precisely because of being a Martial Fool, his strength is formidable. At over 80,000 years of age, he is at the Boundless Eight Desolations Realm’s Sixth Layer. It may seem to be a minor realm lower than the First Prince Wu Xuan, but all the people of the Saint Emperor Court know, the Second Prince Gong He’s strength can overwhelm the First Prince Wu Xuan because Gong He can surpass levels in combat, reportedly up to four or even five levels, extremely astonishing.

Next, there’s another group of young people, also about one-sixth of the crowd, gathered around a handsome man adorned in luxurious clothing, carved in dragon and phoenix patterns. This man’s looks are almost as attractive as a woman, with captivating expressions that even move men. Moreover, he likely pays special attention to his image, whether in dress or hair binding, it’s all very refined without a hint of disorder.

He is just over 60,000 years old, also reincarnated many times. He is the Fourth Prince, named Dong Jian. Dong Jian’s strength is not particularly impressive, not even at the Boundless Eight Desolations Realm, just at the Four Directions Ultimate Realm’s Eighth Layer. Of course, the Four Directions Ultimate Realm’s Eighth Layer is practically unbeatable within the younger generation. Saying he’s unimpressive is relative to his elder brothers Wu Xuan, Gong He, and Gou Yan.

Of course, speaking of Gou Yan, Gou Yan has returned, but gravely injured, near death!!!

Causing agitation throughout the Saint Emperor Court.

It’s been roughly a billion years since the Saint Emperor Court’s royal family members were injured.

Gou Yan is the first.

Reportedly, severely injured at the hands of a bafflingly young kid of only about 1,500 years, alarmingly low in realm.

The reason why the Fourth Prince Dong Jian has a group gathered around him is due to his resemblance to the young Sovereign, almost like they’re carved from the same mold. Don’t underestimate this resemblance; it’s enough to encourage many to risk investing in him.

Apart from those surrounding the First Prince, Second Prince, and Fourth Prince, there’s also a small group of young people belonging to the neutral non-interventional faction.

In the center of the great hall on a high platform.

Behind a curtain of dark gold.

A middle-aged man, drinking alone.

Only him.

He quietly observes the scene in the hall, unseen by others.

The curtain resembles single-sided glass. It has an intricate mystique.

The middle-aged man, though simply dressed in a white long robe, with his Qi completely and utterly restrained, nonetheless exudes an incomparable fearsome, pure monarch’s aura.

He is the Sovereign of the Saint Emperor Court.

Moreover, from ancient times to primordial ancient times, until today, he has always been the Sovereign, never dying, always existing, without even needing reincarnation.

He is named Zhen Cang. Of course, the name Zhen Cang has been long since unused. Everyone calls him Sovereign.

As the atmosphere in the hall gets better and better.

Suddenly.

The single-sided, mystic curtain before Sovereign Zhen Cang disappeared.

Immediately.

The entire hall fell silent.

Just a moment ago, it was lively with music, dance, drinking, jokes...

Now, everyone sits upright and immobile, holding their breath.

Among them, the dancers even knelt and prostrated themselves.

"Today, you’re all notified last minute to attend this banquet because a guest is about to arrive." In the silence, Sovereign Zhen Cang spoke.
