Right now, the entire Heavenly Mountain was surrounded by the imperial court's army of several tens of thousands.
It was because today was the day of the Divine Emperor's consecration.
However, no one would have expected that under the protection of this heavy army, when Divine Emperor Zhao Hao had reached the pinnacle of his life, he would also encounter the greatest crisis of his life.
Inside and outside the hall, several thousand members of the imperial court's Forbidden Army were all lying on the ground.
The Imperial Guards, the imperial court's experts, and the royal family's Zhao Clan's consecrators were all severely injured. They were either lying on the ground or dead.
At the deepest part of the pile of corpses, Zhao Hao sat in a corner with a pale countenance. He looked at the beautiful lady in palace attire and said, "I didn't expect that even you would be one of them."
The beautiful lady in palace attire wore a set of elegant and luxurious imperial robes, a phoenix crown, and light makeup. However, she was already as beautiful as a person from a painting.
She was Zhao Hao's most beloved concubine, Concubine Shu.
However, in reality, this Concubine Shu had always been a disciple of the higher realm's Goddess Sect. She had come to Zhao Hao's side in order to monitor him and seek benefits for the Goddess Sect.
Looking at the pale Zhao Hao, Concubine Shu said with a cold expression, "Zhao Hao, it's your good fortune to have me serve you for so many years. "You have extraordinary talent and great strategy. You're able to bring order out of chaos and rule over the world. It's true that you can be said to be an Emperor throughout the ages. "It's also because of this that I decided to marry you. "It's a pity... You shouldn't have thought of making an enemy out of the higher realm's immortal sects."
Zhao Hao asked with a bleak countenance, "How did you guys discover this?"
Just then, the sound of wind rang out, and several streams of cold light flashed in the air. Four ladies had sacrificed themselves to turn into four streams of sword light, piercing toward Concubine Shu's body from four different angles.
At the sight of this scene, Zhao Hao appeared astonished, and his martial will spread out wildly. "No!"
The golden martial will turned into a huge roaring dragon and flashed out. However, it was pressed down by Concubine Shu with a palm strike.
At the same time, the four sword lights collided with Honored Concubine Shu. It was like glass colliding with diamond. With a bang, the four women's bodies were smashed to pieces, turning into flesh and blood that filled the sky and disappearing.
These four people were the maids that Zhao Hao had nurtured with great care since they were young. Not only were they outstanding in martial arts, but all of them had also cultivated to tier one of the Divine level. They were also outstanding in other aspects such as spying, tracking, leading troops, and fighting battles. They were in charge of helping Zhao Hao gather information, monitor the officials, and supervise the world. They were his trusted aides, yet all of them had died in Concubine Shu's hands.
"These four little bitches still want to come and save you? They're really overestimating themselves." Concubine Shu let out a cold laugh, and white light burst out from her hand. The power of her martial will continued to rise, shattering the huge golden dragon that Zhao Hao had released.
"Zhao Hao, it's true that you're a great genius. This Son of Heaven's Dragon Fist that you've created even has some of the charm of the higher realm's Ascendant Heavenly Sect. Gathering everyone's powers to go up against the higher realm's immortal sects, it can be said to be very creative."
"It's a pity that you don't understand how great the difference between you and the higher realm is."
Concubine Shu walked up to Zhao Hao slowly. Simultaneously, over ten young ladies dressed in white palace clothes slowly appeared in the surroundings. Each of them had a cultivation at tier one of the Divine level.
It was these Goddess Sect's disciples who had killed the armies and guards in the surroundings.
In the lower realm, tier one of the Divine level was a martial arts legend, a character that was one in a million. They were people who could dominate the world. However, just the Goddess Sect alone was able to casually send out over ten of them.
Moreover, Concubine Shu herself had a cultivation at tier two of the Divine level, which was why she had been able to win against Zhao Hao.
Concubine Shu stared at Zhao Hao and said, "Your Majesty, this is the last time I'm calling you Your Majesty. "Your last chance now is to give up on the world and join our Goddess Sect. You'll still be able to receive protection then."
The Goddess Sect had been coveting this rare genius for many days. This was why they wanted to secretly subdue him. When the time came, they would announce to the outside world that Zhao Hao was dead. In reality, they would take him in as their disciple and nurture him in secret. They would then use all sorts of restrictions on him. With Zhao Hao's potential, he would become another trump card after 100 years.
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and looked at Concubine Shu. "The higher realm is trying in vain to enslave the world and dictate the destinies of everyone in the world. I, Zhao Hao, will be the first to be indignant. You guys were only born a few years earlier than us and have lived a few more years than us. Even if I have another chance, I'll still resist to the end."
A hint of cold gleam flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes. Just then, with a flash of white light, two young men appeared in the hall.
The two young men who had appeared in the hall were Fang Xingjian and Urethai.
Seeing the two of them suddenly appear, Concubine Shu's eyes were filled with wariness. "Who are you guys? The Goddess Sect is now taking over this place. It's best that the two of you don't act recklessly. "
Fang Xingjian did not say a word and merely threw a glance at Concubine Shu. The latter had already disappeared without a trace along with over ten ladies in palace attire.
He then looked at Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao felt that there seemed to be endless information and profoundness contained in Concubine Shu's eyes. These profoundness kept on pounding against his consciousness, as if he was a sponge that was crazily absorbing endless information.
There were all sorts of martial arts, all sorts of secret manuals, as well as countless technological knowledge and profoundness of the universe.
At this moment, Zhao Hao felt as if he had gone through several thousand or even several tens of thousands of years. By the time he reacted, he had already appeared in the study in the palace. It was as if everything that had happened earlier was just a dream, an illusion.
However, the endless knowledge in his mind told him that these were not illusions.
At the same time, Concubine Shu, who was at the foot of the Heavenly Mountain, slowly opened her eyes. There seemed to be stars circulating in her eyes.
In that instant earlier, she had also sensed that endless knowledge and profoundness had been channeled into her brain.
'What on earth has happened?' Concubine Shu sensed the knowledge that she had obtained in her mind. She felt that each of the knowledge was extremely vast, profound, and familiar.
At this moment, she had a feeling as if her cultivation was rising incessantly.
…
Urethai frowned and asked, "What did you do?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Zhao Hao has long since sent a portion of his clone into the higher realm's immortal sect. Therefore, even if his body here dies, his clone will still be able to continue living in the higher realm. This is also a backup plan that he left behind for himself. "It's even simpler for Concubine Shu. As a disciple of the Goddess Sect, there's no place that's safer than her sect. Therefore, she has always left a portion of her clone in her sect. Even if the main body dies, there'll still be a chance."
Urethai's gaze became increasingly puzzled. Although Zhao Hao had great foresight and Concubine Shu was extremely cautious, leaving behind a portion of their clones in the higher realm, what did this have to do with them?
Fang Xingjian continued, "Right now, the connection between the higher realm and the lower realm has already been severed. In terms of space-time, there's no longer any connection between the two worlds. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that they're two different universes. "Therefore, if we wish to find the higher realm, we can only rely on humans."
