The pathway of the rain of light seemed to be completely flat, without any twists or turns, but Ning knew very well that this pathway was filled with countless spatial distortions and traversed through countless dimensions. If he wasn't careful and fell through this pathway, he would definitely be ground to dust by the boundless dimensional energy of this pathway!
Finally, at the end of the rain of light, a world of gray fog appeared. Ao Wuxu came to a slight halt here.
"Junior apprentice-brother, that world of white fog was the outer perimeter of the Haotian major world. It was filled with countless restrictive spells, but this world of gray fog up ahead is the true Haotian major world. Let's go. Master should be waiting for us!"
As they spoke, Ao Wuxu and Ning flew into the foggy world in front of them. Ning felt as though he had stepped into a gray whirlpool, but before he even had a chance to carefully sense the existence of the whirlpool, the scene in front of him instantly changed.
"This … this is the Haotian major world?" Ning stared downwards. Below him was a vast, endless world. Mountains, seas, deserts, forests … everything one could imagine could be found here. There were also many cities that had risen up from the ground. Just by looking down, one couldn't see the end of it at all.
Ao Wuxu chuckled. "This is an independent world which Master established within the Three Realms. In terms of size, it is at least a hundred times larger than your world of the Grand Xia."
"At least a hundred times larger than the world of the Grand Xia?"
Ning couldn't help but click his tongue. He had once been lucky enough to acquire the estate-world of a fallen True God of the Primordial Era, but that world had been much smaller than the world of the Grand Xia. He didn't expect that in front of this Haotian major world, the world of the Grand Xia would be so tiny that it wasn't even worth mentioning.
"In the cities below, cultivators and mortals live together. Every single city has a commander that's in charge of contacting the spies of the three dimensions at all times so that they can find out about all the movements in the three dimensions as quickly as possible!" Ao Wuxu explained as he gazed at the numerous cities that were densely packed together.
"Master … is keeping an eye on the Three Realms?" Ning's face changed. No matter how he looked at it, this Emperor Haotian, who was about to become his master, didn't seem like a good person at all?
"Master was originally the master of the Celestial Court. Afterwards, Empress Nüwa entrusted him with maintaining the stability of the Three Realms. Naturally, he has to keep an eye on the movements of the Three Realms at all times. Junior apprentice-brother, there's no need to be nervous. The major powers of the Three Realms actually all know this!"
"Our Haotian. Our world of the Three Realms, in comparison, is completely different from the Three Realms..........................................................................
Ning's face was constantly changing. He was completely stunned. He wasn't bound by the restrictions of the Three Realms, and was able to form his own cycle of reincarnation. He truly lived up to his reputation as the former master of the Celestial Court.
In truth. Ning was exaggerating Cheng Hao's power. Although Cheng Hao could roam the Three Realms as he pleased, he truly didn't have the ability to casually create a cycle of reincarnation.
The main reason was that the Desolate Chaosverse didn't have any restrictions regarding the cycle of reincarnation. Any expert who had reached the Daofather level would be able to establish their own independent estate-world. So long as they had a deep understanding of the Dao of Life and Death, they would be able to establish a simple reincarnation system.
This sort of reincarnation system was only usable within the Desolate Chaosverse. Outside this world, there was no way to use it at all. After all, in the vast majority of the Chaosverse, the Heavenly Daos placed fairly strict restrictions on reincarnation. Unless one specifically mastered the Grand Dao of Reincarnation, it would be very hard to control reincarnation.
"Master's Celestial Court is located at the very center of the Haotian world!" Ao Wuxu pointed towards the skies. "Right there."
Ning raised his head to look. Indeed, off in the distance, he could vaguely see an enormous palace hovering in the air.
"Let's go."
Ao Wuxu immediately led Ning to fly over. The hovering palace drew closer and closer, and Ning could even see some Fairy Cranes and spirit-beasts flying leisurely around the palace.
Slash!
Ao Wuxu held the golden jade slip in his hands. He casually tore apart a screen of light, then led Ning into the air above the palace. They slowly descended onto the steps outside the palace.
The steps were formed from azure stone bricks, like a path that led straight to the clouds. At the very end, there was a vast, ancient golden gate.
"From here, you can reach the South-Heaven Gate. That is the only path into the Cloudsoar Palace of the Celestial Court. If you take the wrong path, you will die!"
The steps were so straight that they couldn't even see the end. The two didn't fly; they just walked up, one step at a time. Halfway up, Ning saw a white-robed old man, who was holding a horsetail whisk in his hand and had a single star seal on his forehead. The old man was jogging towards them at high speed.
"Are you the two disciples of the Grand Emperor?" The white-robed old man hurriedly called out when he saw Ning and Ao Wuxu.
"We are!" Ao Wuxu nodded.
"Senior apprentice-brother, this person … doesn't recognize you?" Ning was rather puzzled. Why was it that the people of the Celestial Court didn't even recognize this senior apprentice-brother of his?
"I've been in closed-door training at Master's place this entire time. This is the first time I've emerged. It's quite normal that they don't recognize me!" Ao Wuxu laughed, then called out in a clear voice, "Who are you?"
"This old man is Taibai Jinxing. On the orders of his Imperial Majesty, I have come to escort you two Exalts to the imperial study."
Under Taibai Jinxing's guidance, the three quickly passed through the South-Heaven Gate. Ning, however, was quite curious about everything in front of him. He was filled with curiosity towards the sword-wielding, zither-carrying Four Heavenly Kings, and he couldn't help but size them up.
Perhaps because Taibai Jinxing had long ago explained to them who Ning and Ao Wuxu were, the Four Heavenly Kings weren't angered. In fact, as Ning sized them up, they even smiled and nodded towards him.
After passing through the South-Heaven Gate, in front of them was the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches, where the ministers were gathered for court. However, by now, the time for court had long since passed. Ning merely stared from afar at the enormous golden palace, which emanated the aura of the Heavens. And then, he was led by Taibai Jinxing to an area that looked like a back garden.
As they walked, Ning saw that this garden had beautiful scenery. All sorts of Immortal birds and beasts could be seen everywhere. All of them had their auras restrained, but no matter how much they restrained their auras, Ning still felt a powerful sense of danger. Clearly, they were extremely powerful.
The atmosphere within the Celestial Court was both dignified and peaceful. Not a single one of those Immortal birds or beasts revealed any hint of savagery; it was as though they were all abnormally obedient.
"This is the imperial garden, the place where his Imperial Majesty normally rests. His Imperial Majesty is a wise Monarch; generally speaking, he won't set down strict laws. However, there is one; in the Celestial Court, it is forbidden for anyone to engage in combat. Otherwise, his Imperial Majesty will personally intervene and annihilate the combatants. No one is exempt!"
