"Great Xia..."
The Nine Heavens True Monarch nearly ground her silver teeth to dust, but she dared not mention the full name.
A being like this immortal, almost ever mindful, if they harbor other thoughts, it’s easily sensed by the opponent.
She hadn’t forgotten how her sworn brother, the second eldest, True Monarch Ape Emperor, died!
Despite the thoughts whirling in her mind, the Nine Heavens True Monarch still decided to head to Haojing City.
What is hidden within the Eastern Emperor’s Relics truly piqued her curiosity!
...
East Suspended Divine Continent, outskirts of Haojing City.
Space-time tore open as Zhang Jian’s figure appeared; at this moment, a Divine City soared from his palm, placed deep within the subspace outside Haojing City.
This grand maneuver appeared simple in his hands.
With the descent of the East Emperor Divine City, the immortal gods remained oblivious.
Zhang Jian’s mastery over the laws of both space and time far surpassed ordinary immortal gods.
At this moment, within the depths of the Divine City, layers of mighty Immortal Dao laws flowed out.
These far exceeded the celestial immortal realm, carried a hint of immortality and the unending.
Zhang Jian had sensed it, a composite Tier Three defensive immortal technique.
It should have been arranged during the peak of the Eastern Emperor, exceedingly formidable.
Zhang Jian’s gaze fell on the Eastern Emperor Ruins, its surroundings glowing with the radiance of sun, moon, and stars.
Amid the brilliance, it’s as if billions of stars were aligned, within a domineering divine light capable of annihilating heaven and earth’s beings; a single misstep would lead to an immediate forbidden technique attack.
Yet this terrifying All Heaven Stars Forbidden Technique was being suppressed by the Power of Mountains, Rivers, and Land deep within Zhang Jian’s palm.
"The ancient overlord Eastern Emperor was known for his unrivaled Eastern Emperor Nine Yang Immortal Splitting Technique; it’s said that this ancient overlord received the Dao lineage from the Ancient Saint King Sun Saint Emperor and was classmates with King Huo De!"
A fragment of information concerning this ancient saint flashed through Zhang Jian’s mind.
He knew little about the Eastern Emperor.
Only snippets in the universe declared this ancient overlord once led gods to suppress the Outer Demon Gods and battled Outer World powerhouses, earning immense merit!
Conversely, the Sun Saint Emperor and King Huo De had more coverage.
The Sun Saint Emperor was a Saint King born during ancient times when the Human Race in Zhou Mountain Realm was just budding, gods and demons aplenty.
The Sun Saint Emperor was not only the Emperor of the Human Race but also the leader of ten thousand races.
King Huo De, the leader of the Human Race, was born embracing the power of fire, having received the "Sun Scripture," famous for the "Huo De Scripture," renowned in his time.
Carefully studying the forbidden techniques surrounding this Divine City, Zhang Jian noticed a similarity between these Tier Three All Heaven Stars Forbidden Techniques and the Tier Three immortal techniques he seamlessly mastered.
"Chaotic Star Sword Technique!"
His eyes flickered slightly.
The Chaotic Star Sword Technique was something he learned from a Shadow-shining Jade Disc at a defunct relic by the Bai Shui River.
No one knows where that relic originated.
Thoughts flashed within Zhang Jian. As he waved his hand, a vast sword intent surged skyward, where countless starlight coalesced into a sharp edge, like myriad sword shadows descending from the heavens, subduing the All Heaven Stars Forbidden Techniques surrounding the East Emperor Divine City, instantly forming a grand starry avenue from the void, directly stretching towards the gateway.
The gate slowly opened.
A blazing golden door emerged.
Just like the Supreme Yang Gate of heaven and earth.
Zhang Jian’s gaze fluctuated as he stepped forward, his figure instantly transformed into a stream of light entering the depths of the gateway.
As he entered the depths of the Supreme Yang Gate, Zhang Jian could feel the menacing killing intent around him, myriad stars’ brilliance evolving outwards, as if transforming this Divine City into a vast stellar cosmos.
Leading to the central hub was the Star Divine Bridge, a spiral of stars dividing into seven or eight paths toward the heart of the Star Sea.
Each path of stars was interwoven with forbidden techniques, life and death intertwined.
If ordinary cultivators fell into these, it would require immense effort to unravel various tests of character there.
Zhang Jian found it simpler; with a flash of his figure, a streak of purple-yellow divine light enveloped him, sealing all laws with the Saint King Divine Power.
Instantly, he seemed to stride across the Star River, directly entering the depths of the Void Divine City.
At the center of the Star Sea stood a solitary grand palace.
"Fusang Daoist Palace!"
With just a glance, Zhang Jian was visibly astonished.
This golden palace was built atop a boundless artificial star wrapped in endless True Solar Flame.
Within the East Emperor Divine City was a vast artificial star.
Its entirety enveloped in endless blazing gold, countless fire attributes, pure yang attribute laws swirling.
Zhang Jian could distinctly feel its core was directed by a single All Heaven Dao law, governing all others.
The surroundings were filled with countless All Heaven Stars Forbidden Techniques.
Stars scattered across the realm!
Yet this did not confound Zhang Jian; purples-yellow divine light appeared in his eyes, penetrating layers of intense golden light, descending directly from this Sun Star’s exterior towards its interior.
Before the Daoist Palace, Zhang Jian’s figure manifested.
Despite stepping atop the fierce True Solar Flame beneath, Zhang Jian felt no heat—quite the contrary, the temperature was just right.
In the distance, his eyes flickered as he spotted a grand and peculiar mulberry tree.
Its entire body enveloped within golden light, reaching a thousand feet high.
Uniquely, it was a twin stem!
Born from a single root like twin siblings, very mysteriously.
"Is this the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root Fusang?"
His gaze swept over, a smile emerging beneath his eyes.
The Fusang Spirit Root within the Eastern Emperor’s Relics meant an extra layer of foundation for the East Continent Zhang Family.
