After a long while.
On the bed, Shen Changge opened his eyes. They shot out an extremely sharp light that seemed to be able to pierce through the void and see through all illusions.
* boom rumble rumble! *
In an instant, the world trembled and the void rumbled. The spiritual energy in the palace all gathered towards him, forming a storm of spiritual energy. Gradually, the spiritual energy of the world gathered above his head, forming the image of a golden holy sword. It swallowed and spat out incomparably sharp sword-light. It seemed to be able to cut through the sun, moon, and stars. It was brilliant and blazing.
"Disperse." Shen Changge spat out these words, and then the Spiritual Qi in the world dissipated, and the shadow of the Golden Holy Sword also disappeared.
Shen Changge's handsome face revealed a satisfied expression. The power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Sword had indeed shocked him.
As expected of the ancestral Divine Technique of the Heavenly Clan.
The Vajra Demon Subduing Sword was one of the ancestral Divine Techniques of the Gu Heavenly Clan. In Gu Nanfeng's hands, it could not display much of its power.
He believed that if he used it, the power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Sword would be able to kill existences of the Great Creation realm.
The ancestral Divine Techniques of the Heavenly Clan had boundless power to begin with. They were suspected to have originated from the Immortal Path. Its power was extremely terrifying and it was enough to allow a cultivator's battle power to undergo a transformation, allowing them to fight those above their level.
"Brother Shen?"
At that moment, Feng Lingtian's voice came from outside the palace.
* creak! *
Shen Changge lightly waved his sleeve. Then, the palace doors opened. Feng Lingtian, who was outside the palace doors, walked in.
However, what surprised Shen Changge was that Feng Lingtian, who was always as gentle as jade and unperturbed as ever, had a look of surprise on his face.
At this moment, there was a rare look of surprise on his face. He seemed to be extremely excited, and his excitement was beyond words.
"Brother Shen, I have great news." Feng Lingtian entered the palace and saw Shen Changge sitting cross-legged on the bed. His joyful voice even increased a bit.
"What's the good news?" Shen Changge was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask.
He had just fought fiercely in all directions in the Sacred Academy, and defeated the four successors of the Celestial Clan, causing the high and mighty Celestial Clan to lose all face.
Perhaps even the four great Celestial Clans didn't like him. It could be said that there was a grudge between them. How could there be a happy occasion?
Feng Ling Tian's eyes flashed with excitement. He looked at Shen Changge and smiled, "You suppressed the heirs of the Heavenly Clans in the Holy Institute, and even suppressed Qiushui Chang Tian, the number one genius of the Holy Dynasty. You've made a name for yourself in the Holy City."
"Brother Shen, your glorious battle record must have attracted the Sacred King's attention. Now, the Sacred King has sent an expert to summon you to the palace to meet the Sacred King." When Feng Lingtian spoke, he couldn't help but reveal an envious expression.
Within the Saint Dynasty, there were as many strong cultivators as there were clouds. Geniuses and geniuses emerged one after another. Each of them had their own unique style and created myths and legends.
However, how many people could catch the eye of a Holy King?
Even though he was the successor to the Feng Heavenly Clan's Young Master, he did not possess the honor of being summoned by the Sage Ruler alone.
From this, it wasn't hard to see how much favor this was.
Even among the heirs of the Heavenly Clans, there were very few who could catch the attention of the Sacred King.
Only among the heirs of the Heavenly Clans, the most outstanding existences, the geniuses whose talent reached the level of absolute geniuses, could catch the attention of the Sacred King.
At present, Shen Changge's glorious battle record in the Holy Institute had spread throughout the Holy City. His fame was illustrious, and he became the idol of countless young cultivators. Many experts were shocked.
Because of that, Shen Changge also caught the attention of the Sacred King, and he sent an expert to summon him to the palace.
"Summoned by the Sacred King?" Hearing that, Shen Changge's expression changed. Even he was a bit surprised. He didn't expect to reach his goal so quickly.
Moreover, it was the Sacred King, the head of the Holy Dynasty.
"That's right." Feng Lingtian lightly nodded. The gaze with which he looked at Shen Changge was filled with envy. He said with a smile, "Brother Shen, now that you've caught the attention of the Sacred King, you will definitely be nurtured by the Holy Dynasty. In the future, when you step into the Great Creator realm, you will grasp great authority. It can be said that you have reached the heavens in a single bound, and you will rise to the clouds. Don't forget me when you're rich!"
Don't forget me when you're rich!
Although those were Feng Lingtian's words of ridicule, they were the true thoughts in his heart. Shen Changge had caught the attention of the Sacred King. In the future, the power he would grasp would not be inferior to the successors of the Heavenly Clans.
He might even be like the Qiushui Family's master, and become an existence in the Holy Dynasty's royal court. Even if he wasn't a Heavenly King, the power he held could contend against a Heavenly King.
"Brother Feng, please rest assured. In the future, when I reach the summit, I will repay you with my peach blossoms." Shen Changge lightly smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect Feng Lingtian to make such a joke.
However, it was as Feng Lingtian said. He still remembered the sentiments of the Feng Heavenly Clan.
He entered the Holy Dynasty because he received the Feng Heavenly Clan's invitation. That was why he could so brazenly enter the Holy Dynasty's territory and enter the Holy City.
Otherwise, just by the fact that he killed the successor of the Gu Heavenly Clan's young master, Gu Linfeng, he wouldn't dare to rashly enter the Holy Dynasty.
Not to mention coming to the Holy Dynasty's territory, the Holy City.
He had received the sentiments of the Feng Heavenly Clan and the Wind King.
If it wasn't for the Wind King speaking up for him, covering up the matter of him killing Gu Linfeng and obtaining the status of a guest elder of the Holy Dynasty for him, he likely wouldn't have dared to leave the Feng Heavenly Clan's Heavenly King's Residence.
He wouldn't even have been able to go to the Drunken Immortal Building. Naturally, he wouldn't have been able to participate in the battle in the Holy Institute.
How could he have possibly received the Holy King's attention?
Thinking of the Holy King, Shen Changge couldn't help but feel an indescribable pressure from the depths of his heart. Soon, he would be facing the Holy Dynasty's supreme ruler, the Holy King.
Furthermore, he felt a trace of hostility toward the Holy King in his heart.
It wasn't because of himself. Instead, it was because of Luo Yunxi. According to Luo Yunxi, she was the Holy Dynasty's Her Highness the Holy King.
It was precisely because of the current Holy King's rebellion that Luo Yunxi was plotted against and seriously injured. She had no choice but to leave the Holy Dynasty and give up her position as the Holy King. She then entered a deep slumber to heal her injuries.
Now, Luo Yunxi called herself the Holy Master and established the Holy God Assembly in the Eastern Heavens to nurture experts and expand her power. In the future, she would kill her way back to the Holy City, set things right and regain her position as the Holy King.
Now that he had joined the Holy God Assembly, he was Luo Yunxi's subordinate. If the Holy King were to know of his true identity, he would likely be in danger of dying.
Thus, in a certain sense, he and the Holy King were natural enemies.
At this moment, in order to learn the Holy Dynasty's supreme sword technique, he had no choice but to enter the Holy City alone and meet the Holy King.
This made him feel as if he was committing himself to a thief.
"Since the Holy King has summoned me, I shall enter the palace and meet the Holy King," on the bed, Shen Changge slowly got up. His expression became a bit more solemn and he appeared especially serious.
At the same time, there was a trace of concealed joy in his heart. Meeting the Holy King meant that he was gradually getting closer to his goal.
Obtaining the Holy King's attention was equivalent to entering the vision of the Holy Dynasty's upper echelons.
At the same time, it meant that he was getting closer to the pinnacle of the Holy Dynasty's authority, greatly increasing his chances of learning the supreme sword technique.
This was also his goal all along.
He proudly went to the Drunken Immortal Inn, then fought wildly in the Holy Academy and suppressed the Heavenly Clan's successor. Wasn't it all for this?
It could be said that he was about to succeed.
Shen Changge made up his mind. When he learned the supreme sword technique developed by the Holy Dynasty's experts, he would quickly leave the Holy City.
The Holy City was too dangerous. Under the Holy King's eyes, if his identity was exposed, even if he was a Minor Creator, he would most likely face great danger.
Only by leaving the Holy City and the Holy Dynasty could he be completely at ease.
When he returned to the Dongfang Heavens, even if there was pressure from the Holy Dynasty, there would be Luo Yunxi in front of him to withstand it. He wouldn't have to tremble in fear and tread on thin ice.
Afterwards, under Feng Lingtian's envious gaze, Shen Changge walked out of the main hall. Following the expert from the Holy Palace, the two of them left the Feng Heavenly Clan's Heavenly King Residence and headed towards the Holy Palace.
… …
The Holy Palace.
Majestic and grand, the palace towered above the sky. It was endless, and one couldn't see the end of it. It was like a celestial palace floating above the sea of clouds. It was solemn and sacred, as if it spanned between heaven and earth. It gave off a dignified and oppressive feeling, making people want to prostrate themselves in worship.
The Holy Palace was the cultivation place of the Holy Clan. Most of the Holy Clan's experts lived here.
Although the Holy Palace was nominally within the Holy City, it was actually outside the Holy City. The Holy Palace floated in the void above the Holy City, surrounded by clouds. Looking from afar, the sea of clouds was surging. Under the golden sunlight, the sea of clouds was filled with golden divine splendor. It was like a golden wave drifting in the sea of clouds. It was breathtaking and majestic.
Whoosh whoosh!
At the center of the Holy City, Shen Changge and Luo Yunxi's figures flew straight into the sky and arrived above the golden sea of clouds.
At this moment, Shen Changge finally saw the panoramic view of the Holy Palace. She couldn't help but marvel. As expected of the Holy King's cultivation place, it was indeed extraordinary. It was as if she had truly come to a celestial palace in the sky.
Above the golden sea of clouds, there was a divine jade staircase that stretched endlessly. It seemed to lead to the end of the sky, connecting to the majestic and ethereal celestial palace floating above the sea of clouds.
The great sun hung high in the sky, sprinkling down endless rays of golden light, dyeing the endless divine jade staircase in golden color.
Arriving here, Shen Changge couldn't help but show a solemn and respectful look.
The two walked up the divine jade staircase and gradually came to the front of the Holy Palace.
"Honored guest, His Highness the Holy King is waiting for you inside the Holy Palace," the expert said softly and then stayed outside the Holy Palace.
Without the Holy King's summons, anyone who entered the Holy Palace would be killed!
This was an unbreakable rule in the Holy Palace. No one dared to violate it.
Even the Chosen and other experts of the Sacred Race still obeyed and didn't dare to cross the line.
"Alright, thank you for leading the way." Shen Changge nodded gently and then looked at the figure and bowed with cupped fists.
Then, he turned to face the majestic Holy Palace in front of him and walked forward with a solemn expression.
"Honored guest Shen Changge requests an audience."
In an instant, a loud voice resounded through the sky, echoing above the golden sea of clouds and circling endlessly.
These words were not spoken by Shen Changge but by the expert from the Sacred Dynasty. He spoke respectfully as if he was reporting to the Holy King.
"Summon!"
A majestic and domineering voice rang out from the Holy Palace. It was like the voice of a god descending to the mortal world. It was incomparably grand and resounded between heaven and earth.
Then, another voice rang out from the Holy Palace, "His Highness the Holy King has ordered for honored guest Shen Changge to have an audience with him!"
This voice seemed to contain mysterious and unfathomable power. It came from the Holy Palace and resounded in the void above the Holy Palace.
In fact, it even spread towards the Holy City.
Outside the Holy Palace, Shen Changge gently exhaled a turbid breath and gathered his thoughts. A solemn and respectful expression appeared on his face as he stepped forward and entered the Holy Palace.
The Holy Palace was the supreme center of the Sacred Dynasty's authority. All the orders that shocked the Sacred Dynasty came from this palace and then spread in all directions, covering the entire territory of the Sacred Dynasty.
Below the Holy Palace, Shen Changge stopped in his tracks. His white robes fluttered in the wind, making him look divine and otherworldly, like an immortal.
Shen Changge raised his eyes and looked towards the top of the Holy Palace. However, before he could see the Holy King's figure, a thunderous voice rang out in his ears, "How dare you not kneel before the Holy King?"
This voice exploded in his ears like thunder, causing Shen Changge's blood and Qi to churn violently. He could not help but be shocked.
This person's strength was far above his.
Moreover, although this voice sounded like a reprimand, it was more like an invisible reminder.
It reminded Shen Changge to kneel before the Holy King.
However, Shen Changge finally got over this hurdle in his heart. He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Greetings, Holy King."
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Shen Changge still did not kneel before the Holy King, the voice suddenly turned cold and filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
If the previous voice was a reminder, then this time it was a real reprimand.
"Holy King, please allow me to report." Shen Changge got up and cupped his fists in front of his chest. He said respectfully, "From the moment I stepped onto the path of cultivation, the first sentence I learned was that heaven and earth are heartless and treat all things as straw dogs!"
"Therefore, in this world, I kneel before heaven and earth, and before the Emperor and the Master." Shen Changge said. Even though he was facing the Holy King, the supreme ruler of the Holy Dynasty, his expression was still calm and there was not the slightest ripple in his eyes.
After all, he was not a true subject of the Holy Dynasty. He did not have a sense of belonging to the so-called Holy King.
Why should he kneel?
"How dare you! Since you claim to kneel before the Emperor and the Master, why don't you kneel before the Holy King? " In the Holy Palace, the cold voice sounded again. "His Highness the Holy King is the King of the Holy Dynasty and the Master of Heaven and Earth. He is the only King of Heaven and Earth. When you see the Holy King, you should kowtow three times with every step and worship him."
"I come from Eastern Heaven and have never seen the Holy King's grace. Please forgive me." Shen Changge was still neither servile nor overbearing. His expression was calm, and there was even a trace of dissatisfaction in his calm voice.
The Holy King was the Master of Heaven and Earth?
Then, when the Ancient Deities' Clan descended in the outer area of the Black Ruins and slaughtered the people, why was the Holy King nowhere to be seen?
Why was there no expert from the Holy Dynasty?
Why did the Holy King not send experts to fight for the people and get rid of the terrible calamity that caused the people to suffer?
