Chapter 2584: Meeting Xiaoxi Once More
“What’s going on?” Zu An looked downward and saw giants swinging their axes against the sacred tree. They appeared to be shaman warriors, and they were likely intending to cut down the sacred tree to stop the Celestial Court from dispatching further reinforcements.
“Don’t worry. Jianmu was born alongside heaven and earth; it can’t be cut down that easily. You should be worried about them instead,” Xihe sneered.
Profound ancient runes lit up around the sacred tree. These weren’t divine runes, but something superior. These characters were born alongside heaven and earth, and they harnessed the dao of the world. The giants didn’t even have any time to scream before they were reduced to ashes.
Zu An was taken aback. Those runes are incredible. What a pity I can’t remember and copy them. It must be because my cultivation isn’t high enough.
A light suddenly appeared in front of Zu An. Before they knew it, they had already emerged from the other end of the sacred tree. The first thing he noticed was that they were standing on top of clouds. He was initially worried about falling through the clouds, but he soon realized that it was no different from walking on the ground, except for it being softer. It must be a huge formation to sustain this effect throughout the Celestial Court. I wouldn’t be able to do thiswith my current abilities.
He raised his head and saw a towering celestial gate with curved eaves and interlocking wooden brackets. It looked narrow, but he knew that was just a visual effect. Even the largest being in this world could pass through it easily. Behind the celestial gate was a bunch of palaces built amid foggy mountains. Immortal birds flew freely in the clouds, making the place look ethereal.
“Is this the Celestial Court?”
This was Zu An’s first time visiting the legendary Celestial Court, but he wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery. He'd thought that given the huge number of celestial guards that descended earlier to clash with the Shaman races, there wouldn’t be many celestials left in the Celestial Court. And yet, there was still a platoon of celestial guards guarding the celestial gate.
Their leader was a giant built like a metal tower. He held a massive axe while vigilantly eyeing the surroundings. He would have noticed Zu An and the others if they hadn’t concealed themselves beforehand.
