History’s Number 1 Founder

As s.h.i.+ Zongmao, who was in the same level as s.h.i.+ Zongtang, knelt down, the other Great Qin cultivators too stood up and made the same gesture .

s.h.i.+ Chongyun said nothing . At last, he stood up from his seat and knelt down before s.h.i.+ Zongtang .

That day, the Great Qin Empire told its citizens that s.h.i.+ Yu was dead and that a new emperor had ascended the throne .

The Great Qin Dynasty"s Draconic Energy continued to gather in Xiling City, but no one could prevent it from becoming chaotic .

Rays of red, yellow, green, white and black dragons made from light rose from every inch of soil of the Great Qin Empire . Piercing through the void, they congregated onto Xiling City in the Great Qin Empire .

These light dragons were shapeless, and even for many cultivators, they could barely detect them . However, they could feel the energy that they carried within them .

In the chaotic energy of these dragons, one could sense a profound sense of respect and awe, as if the mandate of heaven was within these dragons .

The citizens of the Great Qin Empire were largely taken care of during the outbreak of the War of the Two Worlds . At this moment, upon hearing about the death of their emperors, these citizens all descended into a state of terror . While a new emperor ascended the throne, it would take some time to calm everyone down .

The Great Qin Empire naturally wanted to keep the news suppressed, and they had the means to do so . However, to gather the Draconic Energy, they had no choice but to publicize the news .

Everyone knew that the new War of the Two Worlds was upon them . Before the war ended, the citizens already knew about the death of their emperor . This naturally caused many of them speculate and hence, they were all emotionally unbalanced .

The Great Qin Empire was faced with both internal and external threats . They had to first take care of their internal affairs . Fortunately, they had made plans for it and hence, their execution of the plans was not too chaotic .

However, the external situation at the moment was more demanding for them . If the Great Qin Empire did sink into turmoil right now because of both internal and external affairs, then the situation would truly be unimaginable .

The new emperor s.h.i.+ Zongtang, after discussing with s.h.i.+ Zongmao and the rest, finally made the important decision of inviting Celestial Sect disciples to Xiling City .

After a battle with the Zhujian Grand Sage, w.a.n.g Lin was able to successfully slay him . However, he was severely injured too . Zhu Yi and the Tiangang Swordmaster continued to guard the Southern Wilderness, resisting the dragons under the Shen Dragon King . Xiao Yan was guarding the Celestial Sect of Wonder"s foothold in the northern Kunlun Mountains .

However, good news came . s.h.i.+ Tianhao, and his entourage, who were formerly in the Barren Expanses, decided to return to the Divine Lands . Zhu Yi received them as they returned through the Southern Wilderness inter-world pa.s.sage .

s.h.i.+ Tianhao was accompanied by his junior, Luo Qingwu, and the Scorching Sun Holy Man, Zhuge Zhan . Also, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon, was with them .

The entourage calmed the Great Qin Empire . After they reached Xiling City, anyone who dared to invade Xiling City would have to consider Lin Feng"s reaction .

However, s.h.i.+ Tianhao, Luo Qingwu and the rest were still on their way . Another event had a wider impact, which attracted the attention of all human cultivators, including Great Qin cultivators, as they had no choice but to pay attention to it .

The Hades Tribe had reached Mount Baiyun!

The holy mountain, which had always been surrounded by white clouds, fell into a deathly calm .

In the void above the peak of the mountain, a huge amount of light started to s.h.i.+ne . Endless purple light spread forth, dyeing that part of the Greater World purple .

Numerous runes made from light etched themselves into void s.p.a.ce, causing the s.p.a.ce to be distorted .

The clouds around Mount Baiyun soon disappeared completely . All that was left was a warm white light . It was as if halos of light were trembling between the heaven and earth . They covered Mount Baiyun and appeared to be responding to the purple light .

A young man about 20 years old clad in white stood at the top of Mount Baiyun . Calmly, he looked at the dimensional tear above his head .

Next to him, the sect leader of the Great Void Sect, Yan Nanlai stood . Behind them were three elders of the Great Void Sect . Other than the Qing Ning Holy Woman and Fu Yunkong, there was a person who resembled a child but had a gaze of a very old man . That was the leader of the Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect, Kuang Heng .

Next to Kuang Heng, the Qing Ning Holy Woman and Fu Yunkong, there was a teen in green robes . He was Yan Nanlai"s disciple, Lin Daohan .

A group of Great Void Sect cultivators lifted their heads to look at the huge dimensional tear in the sky .

In the tear, humanoid figures with three horns on its head and a mouth full of sharp teeth stepped forth .

All of them were clad in a silvery-white hair on their backs . They had a long tail between their legs and their skins appeared covered with purple runes .

They were members of the Hades Tribe, which formerly ruled the Barren Expanses .

The leader of the Hades stood upright like a human . He was of an average-build and his gaze was calm . Calmly, he looked down at Mount Baiyun . That was the current leader of the Hades Tribe, the Illusory Sun Hades .

He did not deliberately try to conceal his energy, nor did he advertise his existence . All he did was to stand there peacefully and calmly . Yet, he was like the center of the earth .

At this moment, an unknown force was squas.h.i.+ng Mount Baiyun . This caused the light around Mount Baiyun to distort .

The Xuan Yi Holy Man and Yan Nanlai both arched their eyebrows . They had solemn expressions on their faces .

Yan Nanlai looked at the Xuan Yi Holy Man and said, “Uncle Xuan Yi, this Hades appeared to have undergone the Second Tribulation of Destiny many times . ”

The Xuan Yi Holy Man nodded his head and said, “Yes, indeed… . Thinking about it, the last time we fought in the Spirit Sea, this Hades had just undergone the Second Tribulation of Destiny and was in its period of weakness . Or perhaps there were other reasons for why he did not choose to attack . ”

Yan Nanlai looked at the Illusory Sun Hades and the other powerful Hades who walked out from the tear and his expression turned dark . “In the last war, after the fall of the Hades Emperor, the Hades Tribe hid . While many of them were killed, their foundation all those years ago was still too strong . By biding their time until today, they probably have countless powerful cultivators . ”

The Illusory Sun hades looked calmly down at Mount Baiyun . Behind, two other Hades, which were much bigger and standing upright like men, too took note of the residence of their former arch nemesis .

Behind them, there were three more large Hades . They too looked down at Mount Baiyun and their gaze was filled with an unbridled desire to attack . Aggression could be clearly sensed off them .

Behind these three Hades, the other Hades stood in a group as they took note of their surroundings and swept their gaze around the Divine Lands .

The Xuan Yi Holy Man and Yan Nanlai looked at these powerful Hades and their gaze darkened .

There was nothing to say at this point . All the two sides could do was to fight it out . The Xuan Yi Holy Man said in a low voice, “Arrange the formation!”

Other than Yan Nanlai, Kuang Heng, the Qing Yun Holy Woman, Fu Yunkong and Lin Daohan all disappeared from the top of Mount Baiyun . At the same time, eight rays of light shone into the sky from the top of Mount Baiyun .

These eight rays of light combined with the mana of Kuang Heng, Lin Daohan and the rest . On top of Mount Baiyun, they took the shape of a huge spell formation .

One then saw that in the center of the spell formation, one black and one white stream of cross continued to intercross . Mystical changes could be seen from them . On the black-and-white whirlpool, rays of golden light flashed .

The golden light was not excessively bright, but they inspired loftiness and respect . They appeared ethereal and impossibly difficult to touch and interact with .

At this moment, a pair of eyes appeared in the sky above Mount Baiyun . One was black and the other was white . One was Yin and the other was Yang . They were both exceedingly simple, but yet they brimmed with the vast knowledge of the Dao of all creations .

In that pair of eyes, there appeared to be no emotion . Like the high heavens, they observed the white clouds and the changes of the world dispa.s.sionately . It was not that they didn"t care, but instead, they viewed all as the same .

Their gaze appeared omnipresent, and they pierced through time and s.p.a.ce . Everything in the world appeared to be within their gaze . It was unstoppable and impossible to hide from .

Next to the Xuan Yi Holy Man, the figures of two elders appeared . One was a transparent-looking ancient bell, and the other was a huge drum . These were the original souls of the Void Yin-Yang Bell and the Formation Bursting Drum .

“Thank you, both of you,” said the Xuan Yi Holy Man . The two of them nodded their heads seriously and then, they disappeared . The Void Yin-Yang Bell and the Formation Bursting Drum on the top of Mount Baiyun started to undergo changes .

s.p.a.ce started to expand, and an endless amount of golden light started to s.h.i.+ne . Clouds flew around and a majestic, golden pavilion rose from the ground . It was gigantic and from within, one could hear the chanting of the G.o.ds . It was as if a mysterious, holy nation had descended onto Mount Baiyun . This was the Destiny level magic treasure, the Great Void Holy Pavilion .

The Xuan Yi Holy Man sat cross-legged on top of Mount Baiyun . One of his hands performed spell gestures while his other hands touched the peak of Mount Baiyun .

Around him, a light flashed and the entire holy mountain started to give off a brilliant light .

Gradually, Mount Baiyun disappeared . The Xuan Yi Holy Man"s figure disappeared too . Light shone and the entire Mount Baiyun appeared to have turned into a mystical, ethereal ball of light .

In the light, one could see nine layers of illusion, with each being taller than the other . Enchanting music sounded as if a group of divine beings was chanting .

The first layer was a door made of light, the second layer was filled with stars . The third layer contained a dimensional tear and as one progressed upward, the fourth layer was like a giant palm that covered the world . The fifth layer was filled with golden clouds . The sixth layer had a holy city . The seventh city appeared to be a halo of light formed from the previous six layers . The eighth layer was a realm of divine music .

Up till the ninth layer, one could see anything concrete . However, there was a light, not bright, not eye-catching, not vast nor shocking, but difficult to describe, difficult to seize, and difficult to comprehend .

This was the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces . From the moment it was activated, Mount Baiyun appeared to have been turned into the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces .

The Destiny level magic treasure, the Great Void Holy Pavilion, suddenly revealed itself . Like the eight layer of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces, it conjured up a similar realm, the Great Void Holy Paradise . Then, it combined with the eight layer of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces .

Yan Nanlai raised his left hand, and the Great Void Seal on it flashed with an odd light . This was the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, which soon enveloped Yan Nanlai and lifted him . Together, they rose to the ninth layer of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces, and into the endless, mystical light .
