Chapter 909: The Crystal Demon Emperors Celestial Pillar
Tang San walked forward step by step, feeling a different sensation each time he passed between two pillars. The taller the pillars, the more apparent the pressure they exerted. Shorter pillars felt less imposing, naturally, as the Emperors that left them behind hadn't been the most imposing either. The shortest pillars seemed to be just over a hundred meters tall, while the tallest three were above five hundred meters.
"The Celestial Pillars are lined up in chronological order. The earlier the Emperor ascended, the closer their pillar is to the Ancestral Pillar," the voice of the Sunborne Nymph Emperor brought Tang San out of his deep contemplation of the Celestial Pillars.
Tang San nodded. From the multitude of Celestial Pillars, he could feel the deep foundation of the Ancestral Court, or more accurately, the foundation of the entire Daemon Continent. Each Celestial Pillar held profound divine consciousness. This hall he was in was the true core of the Daemon Continent, and it was thanks to generations of Emperors that the Daemon Continent was able to maintain such stable dominance over the entire plane.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor led Tang San all the way to the front. "Don't rush. Take your time to observe... and to be observed. If one of the taller pillars acknowledges you, then you stand to gain far more benefits than you would from your own clan's pillar. If you can get multiple pillars to summon you, choose wisely, and try to match the pillar's attributes to your own. Communing with the Celestial Pillar is a great opportunity for any city lord, and it's not just a formality. Do you understand me? When you finish, your formal evaluation will begin."
"Thank you for the advice, Your Majesty." Tang San bowed respectfully.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor smiled faintly, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and said, "Get ready. Don't worry; I'll be here, observing your progress. Go forward with confidence. If any danger truly arises, I'll intervene in time."
Though his tone was perfectly casual, it clearly demonstrated his absolute confidence in his own strength.
Tang San stood still, his gaze sweeping over the many Celestial Pillars. Each pillar exuded a different aura; each seemed to be made of a different material, and each was adorned with a carving of that Emperor's original form, so they were visually distinct as well. The taller Celestial Pillars were, of course, the most eye-catching—not only because of their height but also due to the aura they radiated, which completely overwhelmed the other pillars.
With just one glance, Tang San immediately spotted the Celestial Pillar left by the Crystal Demon Emperor. This pillar towered over the other Celestial Pillars like a crane among chickens. No other pillar even came close to its height, a testament to the sheer strength of the Crystal Demon Emperor. At nearly six hundred meters tall, one had to look up to take it all in; even though the ceiling here was a thousand meters in height, this pillar somehow seemed to fill the entire space.
Some Celestial Pillars stood only about one hundred meters tall, and in comparison to this one, they seemed like nothing more than toothpicks.
The Crystal Celestial Pillar featured a striking relief of a lifelike dragon, and the entire pillar, like the dragon, appeared to be sculpted from pure crystal, radiating a gentle glow. It wasn't just the tallest in the Ancestral Court; it was also the most beautiful. Its crystalline transparency was mesmerizing, and staring at it for too long could make one feel dizzy. The divine consciousness emanating from it constantly shifted in a strange and mysterious manner.
