Miss Jingâs gaze pierced through the endless void, as if she could see across to the Godfiend Abyss Heaven and find Xu Zimoâs figure there.
âAnd what of this woman?â Miss Jing asked.
âSheâs someone he met in the Godfiend Abyss Heaven,â Moon-Pluck Fairy replied respectfully. âItâs said he even helped her bee the Realm Lord of the Celestial Luan God Realm.â
âOh? Then sheâs someone close to him,â Miss Jing said with mild amusement.
She extended her right hand and gently placed it on Wu Zhaodiâs forehead. Strands of immense power surged into Wu Zhaodiâs consciousness. But before long, Miss Jing withdrew her hand, her once-serene face turning slightly pale.
Just now, she had peered into Wu Zhaodiâs river of time. The river of time was not something one could gaze upon lightly. Xu Zimo could do so because of the Primordial Chaos Bead, he was uniquely blessed. Even for someone like Miss Jing, the strain was tremendous.
âThis person can be of use,â Miss Jing said calmly. âErase her river of memories and give her new ones. But I canât perform that myself. Weâll have to seek out the Lord.â
The âLordâ she mentioned was shrouded in utter mystery. Even she had never seen their true face.
At this moment, the Violet Mist Holy Lands was radiant with boundless light. Beams of multicolored radiance shot into the heavens, stirring the clouds into waves before cascading back down, painting the entire sky with shimmering hues.
Upon the altar, seven-colored shields rose around Zi Yan, enclosing her pletely. No one could see what was happening inside, not even the divine senses of a Saint Sovereign could penetrate it.
âSo this is reincarnation?â the Ancestral Warden asked curiously.
It was his first time witnessing such a thing.
âOrdinary people canât reincarnate,â Xu Zimo explained. âSee that altar? Thatâs the Altar of Time Rebirth. It takes tens of millions of years to nurture it, and it can only be used once each cycle. When the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign faked her death back then, she placed her life soul within it.â
âThatâs right. Iâve heard that altar isnât from our Godfiend Abyss Heaven,â said Bright Mirror Saint Sovereign with a laugh. âIt came from the Calamity Immortal Heaven, created by the Heavenly Court.â
Xu Zimo glanced at Zi Yan, who was attempting her rebirth. It seemed her trip to the Paradise of Gods back then hadnât just been about stealing a divine herb.
âWill the reincarnation succeed?â the Ancestral Warden asked again.
âIf she relied only on the Altar of Rebirth, the chances would be half and half,â Xu Zimo said. âBut I believe sheâs made other preparations.â
The divine senses of the Saint Sovereigns extended for billions of miles. As the light of the Violet Mist Holy Lands illuminated the sky, the entire Godfiend Abyss Heaven saw it. No matter where one stood, the radiant glow could be felt.
This was no ordinary light, it carried the Samsara Primal Dao. It merged seamlessly with the void. Ordinary people might not sense it, but the strong could feel it clearly.
Time passed. Instead of dimming, the radiance only grew stronger, spreading from the heavens as though it intended to envelop the entire domain.
Xu Zimo withdrew the Ancestral Warden into his God World, a Grand Emperor like him would be of little help in what was to e.
âTheyâre ing,â someone whispered.
Bright Mirror Saint Sovereign drew out a bright mirror embedded in his chest. That mirror could see through past and present alike. A beam of ancient light shot out from it, shining onto the void before them.
The void ignited, forming a great screen that displayed a distant scene tens of millions of miles away. Amid the rolling clouds, a colossal immortal warship surged forward like a sun. Its prow was shaped like a dragonâs head, its body oval and wreathed in lightning. Wherever it passed, thunder roared and divine might filled the sky. On the enormous sail were two golden words, Heavenly Court, radiant and eternal.
Before those words, even gods and immortals would retreat and all beings would bow.
âWhat a grand entrance,â said Moonlight Fairy, her eyes narrowing.
âThe Heavenly Court always loved their pomp,â the Demon-Refining Saint Sovereign chuckled. âBut to be fair, theyâve earned it.â
âIndeed,â even Bright Mirror Saint Sovereign admitted with a sigh. âThroughout history, countless forces have risen strong, but everyone knows their limits. Only the Heavenly Courtâs strength is unfathomable. No one knows how deep their foundations run, how many powerhouses they truly have.â
âIf theyâre so strong, you still dare to oppose them?â Xu Zimo asked with a faint smile.
âFellow Daoist, you misunderstand,â Bright Mirror Saint Sovereign replied, shaking his head with a laugh. âThe path of cultivation is one of defying all odds, struggling against Heaven itself for joy. If we do not fear Heaven, why should we fear the Heavenly Court? At worst, once this is over, weâll simply hide. The Heavenly Court may be mighty, but theyâre not yet invincible across the Nine Heavens.â
Xu Zimo nodded silently. At the Saint Sovereign level, fear was a rarity; few things could truly shake such beings.
Everyone sat cross-legged, regulating their energy, calmly awaiting the Heavenly Courtâs arrival.
Thunder boomed across the sky.
The immortal warship, traveling faster than light, closed the distance in seconds. From a far-off speck, it now loomed just above them, its presence oppressive.
Even before it arrived, the world quaked under its divine pressure, as if the heavens themselves were enraged.
The dragon-headed shipâs eyes glowed, cutting through the radiant clouds. Then came a voice of heavenly might.
âThe Heavenly Court descends. Violet Mist Holy Lands, why have you not e forth to greet us?â
The entire Godfiend Abyss Heaven trembled. For a billion years, the Heavenly Court had not appeared in such force. Countless Saint Sovereigns across the realms felt a chill in their hearts.
âViolet Mist Holy Lands? What place is that?â some began to murmur.
After all, in recent ages, the Violet Mist Holy Lands had been so low-profile that few even knew of its existence. They rarely even recruited disciples, an oddity, since new disciples were the lifeblood of any sect.
âDo you still remember that peerless talent from long ago?â someone asked.
âHe Changkong?â The name sparked a flood of memories across countless hearts.
Throughout history, there had been many geniuses, but few could pare to the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign, He Changkong was one of the rarest of them all.
âI thought the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign died ages ago,â someone muttered. âWhy would the Heavenly Court appear now? Could there be some hidden truth?â
Leaving aside the countless gazes fixed upon the scene,
Before the gates of the Violet Mist Holy Lands, the dragon head spewed torrents of godly power, trying to obliterate everything before it.
But at that very moment, the holy land erupted in radiant light, cloaking itself in a multicolored barrier that sealed it away from harm.
The dragonâs power grew more violent, yet the barrier held firm, woven from infinite threads of divine essence.
