Chapter 738 - 469: Truth Revealed to the World
"To take it from beginning to end."
"I shall name it."
"The ’Heart Lamp Divine Treasure Secret Technique’"
This technique suddenly appeared on the Demon Hunter Exchange list.
The exchange threshold for this technique was quite low.
Some people from the Demon Pavilion Immortal Sect were excited upon seeing it.
While those familiar with the local Cultivation Dao showed strange expressions.
"Boom————"
A bolt of thunder fell from the sky, piercing through the Celestial Derivation Array unimpeded, striking a mountain peak.
"Is that Elder Wuu’s cave mansion?"
"It should be."
"Elder Wuu should be the first one to join our Immortal Sect as a powerful Divine Treasure Cultivator."
"Cultivating True Essence from Divine Treasure."
"And gifted with techniques by the Pavilion Master."
"Currently, although Elder Wuu’s cultivation is only at Foundation Establishment, he has opened up his Divine Treasure, his combat power is just slightly less than before."
"The advantage of Divine Treasure cultivation transforming to True Essence is significant."
"Even so..."
"In the end, it has already been a full two years."
"With the time acceleration granted by the Pavilion Master, he actually spent nearly twenty years to transform all his cultivation into True Essence."
"Twenty years may be nothing to a Golden Core Cultivator."
"But we are not afraid of being constantly pursued by Great Lii Cultivators."
"In two years, the number of us from Celestial Gate has already reached nearly ten thousand."
"So we are also not afraid of the cultivators practicing the Great Lii Cultivation Method."
Still at the location of Leopard Room.
However, the originally mountainous area gathered rich Spiritual Qi.
The earth vein shifted.
Seventy-two main peaks stood tall, reaching into the clouds.
The well-known Celestial Crane Tower was on the first main peak, Celestial Rainbow Peak.
In addition, there were 648 auxiliary peaks surrounding the seventy-two main peaks.
From this view, not a trace of the original Leopard Room could be seen.
Beside the seventy-two main peaks.
Were three floating giant islands.
One large and two small.
All shrouded by clouds and fog, revealing nothing inside.
Only three heavy clusters of clouds could be seen in the sky.
And some jagged rocks within the depths of the clouds.
This was the region of time acceleration, where all newly inducted disciples had to undergo training.
Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage were they permitted to leave the mountains.
The majority of people in Celestial Gate cultivated among these large islands.
Thus, on these main and auxiliary peaks, apart from menial disciples, there were only Foundation Establishment Golden Core Cultivators.
The name of Celestial Gate had already resounded throughout Great Lii.
From then on, Great Lii had no more chaotic factions.
Only two top forces remained, or perhaps just one.
Immortal Sect, Demon Pavilion.
The two competed and shared Celestial Gate.
Over ten thousand Demon Pavilion Immortal Sect disciples.
Also, within the Demon Pavilion Immortal Sect, there were over a hundred thousand menial disciples.
All lacking in aptitude, wanting to be taken under the Celestial Gate’s senior members for their mindset.
The vast Celestial Gate had wholly replaced the Divine Capital in just two short years, becoming the center of Great Lii.
Beside Celestial Gate.
Lay a bustling city.
Necessarily the former Divine Capital.
Yet the Divine Capital now had no trace of city walls, looking out revealed scattered towns.
Demon Hunters sporadically carried out tasks along the major roads.
Longchen Hall
Flying eaves and interlacing brackets.
Golden glazed tiles gleamed under the sunlight, with auspicious beast stone carvings on each side of the white jade steps.
The vermilion hall doors were tall and thick, embedded with golden door nails, arranged neatly, shining extraordinarily.
"Assemble for court"
Civil and military officials collectively stepped into Longchen Hall.
Sitting on the Dragon Throne was not a usual emperor.
But instead an Empress.
She wore elegant imperial robes, a crown upon her head.
Sitting upright on the Dragon Throne, her posture as straight as a pine, her face cold as frost, expressionless, yet intimidating.
Her eyes were clear and profound, her gaze like electricity, coldly sweeping across the ministers, as if she could see through each of their thoughts.
The Empress had her black hair high up, with a hairpin like a sword inserted.
"The Twelve Main Cities have been abolished, officially transformed into twelve counties, no longer called main cities."
"Without evil presences growing in the twelve counties, walls are naturally unneeded."
"As for the other twenty-four counties, the city shall stand for now."
"Moreover, the Zhaoo Family’s power is too heavy, from today there is no longer a Zhaoo Family, only the Royal Family."
"Establish Sect Mansion, reduce stipends. Extra personnel, establish their own sects."
The Empress’ words.
Even the old members of the Zhaoo Family dared not protest at all.
In the imperial court.
The entire court had undergone cleansing.
Seventy percent of those standing here were young faces, passionate and energetic.
The others were officials promoted from various places.
The original court powers were completely eradicated.
The Empress’ commands, no one dared defy, nor had the power to defy.
For this Empress was the Ancestor’s third disciple.
Zhaoo Ji.
Court adjourned.
The Empress shed her imperial robes, wearing a blue robe embroidered with a white dragon and ice phoenix.
She rose into the sky, pulling out the hairpin from her hair, letting her long hair fall, and the hairpin transformed into a longsword.
Man and sword became one, transforming into flowing light and vanished.
"Senior Brother, what does Master want with us?"
"Third Junior Sister, you’re late."
Zhaoo Ji no longer had a trace of imperial demeanor.
Before her stood a figure in golden armor, with a monkey head and Fire-Eyed Golden Gaze.
Sunx Wudao.
"What else could it be, Master spent two years using Elder Wuu as an experiment, finally developing the Heart Lamp Divine Treasure Secret Technique."
A young man came flying on his sword as well, his brows like swords, eyes like stars, with starry eyes.
He was also garbed in blue, his attire similar to Zhaoo Ji’s.
Yet more transcendental, more sharp.
Zhou Ming.
"Second Senior Brother."
