CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 226: CELESTIAL EMPEROR’S MANSION

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.

It is said that in the deepest parts of Purple Jing Mountain, there indeed exists an Immortal Road.

But from ancient times to the present, no one has truly reached it.

The dangers lurking within the mountain are simply too many.

Not long ago, various great powers jointly entered the mountain to explore, resulting in heavy casualties, and ultimately without any good outcome.

Only Ji Chen gained a Profound Yellow Sacred Stone, which was the greatest harvest.

Ning Bufan’s mere strand of Divine Thought unintentionally entered Purple Jing Mountain and caught a glimpse of the Immortal Road, and through such fortune, he now becomes a renowned young king in Daoxuan.

It’s hard to imagine if someone could truly find that Immortal Road, what kind of heaven-defying rise it would lead to?

"I’ve heard some news, recently, in Daoxuan, very likely a great figure will appear." Huang Shuying suddenly spoke.

Upon her words, Ji Chen and others turned their curious gazes over.

Only to hear the Kunlun Saintess also saying, "The Divine Lady is indicating, might it be related to ’Celestial Emperor’s Mansion’?"

"Correct." She nodded.

"Celestial Emperor’s Mansion?"

Everyone was even more baffled, looking at each other, evidently finding these three words somewhat unfamiliar, having never heard of it before.

"Celestial Emperor’s Mansion is located somewhere in the starry sky, it has always existed there for countless years, but those truly aware of its existence are few and far between. It is rumored to be a true major power, known as the cradle of genius, over generations, many Ancient Emperors have gone there to train." Saintess Qing Ling spoke, seemingly knowing something.

"The great figure the Divine Lady mentioned? Could they be from this Celestial Emperor’s Mansion?" Ji Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Huang Shuying nodded, "I don’t know much, just some time ago, someone from Celestial Emperor’s Mansion contacted my Ancient Race, from the conversation, it seems Celestial Emperor’s Mansion is about to open its doors again to recruit disciples."

"Throughout history, Celestial Emperor’s Mansion has always been searching for some top talents, inviting them to enter for cultivation, over the generations, many Ancient Emperors and Human Race Great Emperors have gone there, it’s said that besides our Daoxuan Star Realm, Celestial Emperor’s Mansion also has many geniuses from other Star Domains."

"It is a truly vast world, with stars of pride like sand, those invited to enter are none ordinary, all are expected to achieve Emperor status, during training at Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, it’s said at minimum, they could become a Saint."

Her words shook the surroundings, making everyone unable to remain indifferent.

Including Ji Chen, though hearing of this so-called Celestial Emperor’s Mansion for the first time.

But anyone who can enter its gates, their ultimate achievement is Saint Realm, this is undeniably an unbelievable thing.

Most importantly, besides Daoxuan, this starry sky surprisingly hosts other Star Domains with life?

Everyone began discussing the topic surrounding Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

But the information that Huang Shuying and others knew was truly scarce, naturally limiting what they could explain to everyone.

But what could be known is that this so-called Celestial Emperor’s Mansion is likely to open soon, inviting a new batch of geniuses from various realms to enter for training.

Ning Bufan felt a bit wistful as he listened, at the end of the gathering, he raised his glass towards everyone, "I hope one day, we can reunite at Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, pursue the pinnacle of the Dao, on the Emperor’s Road, may we never be enemies."

Late at night, the gathering dispersed, everyone left separately.

And Ji Chen also returned to Lingyun Sect with Qu Luoning.

Ji Chen remained sleepless overnight, cultivating within Drunken Ink Residence, over the past month, his cultivation rose again, now reaching the Seventh Layer of Celestial Essence Realm.

At this speed, Ji Chen knew that breaking through to Void Realm wasn’t far away, at the earliest possibly within half a year.

...

As time passed, far on the horizon, the red sun rose, piercing through the sea of clouds, finally revealing itself.

The earth revives accordingly, brimming with youthful vigor.

"Dong!"

A grand and resonant bell sound spread from the depths of Lingyun Sect, prompting all cultivators within Yang City to set off, heading continuously toward the direction of Lingyun Sect.

This bell sound is the preemption of Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate opening, signifying that today, the Holy Ceremony will be held, and cultivators from all over the world can come forward to observe.

"Is this indeed the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect, truly extraordinary."

At this moment, many cultivators reached the foot of Lingyun Sect’s mountain, looking out, the Lingyun Sect today is surrounded by clouds and mist, resembling an ethereal residence of immortals.

It wasn’t hard to feel that within the mountain gate, Spiritual Qi was abundant, much richer than any external place.

This was the change brought by Ji Chen bringing back a Holy Dragon Source Stone back then.

Today, the cultivation environment within Lingyun Sect was already not much inferior to any ordinary Sacred Land.

"Its appearance has indeed undergone a tremendous transformation, truly qualifying to become a Sacred Land." A Celestial Martial cultivator couldn’t help but speak.

This was a Loose Cultivator, years ago he had once passed through this place for business, and had glanced at Lingyun Sect from afar.

Compared to then, today’s Lingyun Sect was evidently no longer what it used to be.

"From now on, call it ’Lingyun Sacred Land’." Someone smiled.

Amidst the discussions, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain, beginning their ascent.

A thousand-foot stone ladder stretched upwards, directly reaching the interior of Lingyun Sect, at this moment, two rows of young and graceful female disciples stood before the mountain gate, tasked with welcoming guests.

These female disciples were carefully selected, each one exceptional, with extraordinary demeanor, no lesser than those so-called Holy Land disciples.

"Celestial Swift Star, Yu Family Ancestor arriving!"

"Celestial Balance Star, Su Family Great Elder arriving!"

"Celestial Martial Star, Donghuang Divine Body arriving!"

"Celestial Martial Star, Phoenix Race Divine Lady..."

"Celestial Martial Star, Gu Family Dao Body..."

As people entered in succession, those tasked with welcoming guests repeatedly announced the identities of those arriving.

The appearance of many great figures attracted a lot of attention, like the arrival of the Phoenix Race Divine Lady and Saintess Qing Ling added numerous topics.

"So lively, from across Daoxuan, countless heroes and prominent figures have come, many are famous personalities."

"Such a grand event is truly rare, it hasn’t been seen in countless years."

Many were sighing, feeling their hearts surge while marveling at Lingyun Sect’s connections, for this Saint Ceremony, so many young kings and elders were invited.

Even Saints like Yu Family Ancestor showed up, being personally welcomed by high-ranking figures like Nangong Ao and Lu Daoyi into the sect.

"Welcome Saint King!"

"Welcome Emperor Ye!"

At a certain moment, in the distant sky, a white-clad figure stepped forth from nowhere, he seemed to shrink the earth into inches, where he trod, path patterns manifested, he was none other than the Holy King of Celestial Martial Humans.

Daoxuan’s contemporary, one of the countable Great Saint’s strong figures!
