“Qian Imperial Palace, you've finally shown up.”
Chu Kuangren took out the Jade Amulet that he obtained from Yuan Wudao.
This Jade Amulet was radiating with a faint glow.
He looked toward the distance. He knew that the Qian Imperial Palace had reemerged and that those unknown lands would surely have made their move there long ago.
“It seems that I must go and join in the fun as well.”
Chu Kuangren said as he held the Jade Amulet in his hand.
Before he left, he summoned Elder Ruyan.
“Ruyan, I've set up a formation in the Black Heaven Sect. I'll teach you its activation technique. If anybody invades our territory and you guys can't handle it, then activate it,” Chu Kuangren told her.
He did not want to lose his own home while he was away.
“Sure.” Elder Ruyan nodded gently.
She was slightly surprised.
Her Sect Leader knew how to set up a formation?
Nonetheless, there were many things that Chu Kuangren knew how to do, and now, they could add setting up formations to the list. In fact, this did not come as a surprise for Elder Ruyan.
However, the Black Heaven Sect already had the Mountain Protection Formation, which was a very rare Sage-grade formation. Could this new formation that Chu Kuangren had set up be even better than this Sage-grade formation?
Elder Ruyan was a little doubtful.
Chu Kuangren pa.s.sed the formation's activation technique to Elder Ruyan. After pondering for a moment, he said, “How about this? I'll demonstrate it for you once.”
Chu Kuangren then took out a stone tablet. This tablet was carved out of Celestial chalcedony, and it was as s.h.i.+ny as pure jade. It was the key to activating the formation.
There were marks on top of the stone tablet.
Those were the respective nodes for the Astonis.h.i.+ng Sea of Clouds Formation.
He channeled his spiritual thoughts into the stone tablet.
Very soon, the Astonis.h.i.+ng Sea of Clouds Formation's nodes gradually lit up one after another, and the whole Black Heaven Sect shook. A sky full of misty clouds came out of nowhere and enveloped the entire sect as countless Daoist Rhymes circulated, displaying a magnificent scene!
Elder Ruyan was baffled.
She could sense how extraordinary this formation spell was just by looking at it. Through the stone tablet in front of her, she was able to see some of the obstacle levels inside the Astonis.h.i.+ng Sea of Clouds Formation, be it trapped alive or killed inside. It was extremely mysterious.
This formation spell was not as simple as the Sage-grade one.
Did the Sect Leader really set this up?
It was incredibly powerful!
“With this formation, the Black Heaven Sect now has extra security.”
Elder Ruyan muttered in tears of delight.
Others might not know, but because she had been a.s.sisting Chu Kuangren in some of the sect's internal affairs, she knew quite a lot about those unknown lands.
She knew what kind of situation the Black Heaven Sect was in, and with this formation, she felt more relieved.
“I shall leave this formation to you now. It's time for me to leave.”
“Have a safe journey, Sect Leader.”
Chu Kuangren's figure flashed before he turned into a stream of light and left.
There was a crowd outside the glorious Qian Imperial Palace.
Meanwhile, surges of mystical forbidden sealing force circulated around the Qian Imperial Palace like a giant net that had encased the entire palace.
However, this giant net was slowly disintegrating on its own now.
“This forbidden sealing force must have been left behind by the Qian Emperor. The Qian Emperor must have calculated this exact moment for the Imperial Palace to resurface, so this forbidden sealing force has no use anymore,” one of the Sages said.
This person came from the unknown lands.
He stared at the Imperial Palace, his eyes filled with hunger. “The Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune is the rarest Opportunity of Fortune for the last hundred and fifty thousand years. Whoever obtains this Imperial Palace would be guaranteed to advance by leaps and bounds!”
The giant forbidden sealing net slowly dissipated.
The moment the giant net disappeared, a few Sages dashed into the Imperial Palace. However, they were rebounded by an invisible barrier.
“What is this?!”
“Isn't the forbidden sealing force gone?”
The group of Sages was rather surprised.
Suddenly, a few golden letters appeared in the sky.
'Only those below the Sage level can enter'.
“What is this? Sages can't enter?”
“What kind of rule is this?!”
“D*mn, did we make the trip here for nothing?”
Some of the Sages were very unhappy.
They had been Sages for so many years, hence they were all looking forward to becoming an Emperor. Although they knew that the Opportunity of Fortune for becoming an Emperor did not exist in their generation, now that this unprecedented Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune was in front of them, how could they bear letting it go?
“I don't care. I must obtain this Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune.”
One of the Sages said unwillingly. Incredibly powerful Sage Daoist Rhyme started coursing through his body as he charged towards the Qian Imperial Palace.
However, the more force he used, the stronger that invisible barrier became. He was flung out violently and smashed into the ground.
This scene stunned everyone at the scene.
In many people's eyes, Sages were the pinnacle of elites.
However, an obstacle that was left behind by an Emperor a few hundred thousand years ago was enough to humble a Sage to that extent. This showed that an Emperor's strength was beyond anyone's imagination.
“Forget it. The Qian Emperor has already made it clear that his inheritance is only reserved for the next generation's sky-prides.”
A Sage said calmly. Then, he looked toward those sky-prides who hailed from the various great forces with an envious look in his eyes.
All he could say was that they were born in the wrong era.
“Xue Zheng, you must be careful when you enter the Imperial Palace. That Jade Amulet in your hands must be protected by all means. It will be of great use when you're inside the Imperial Palace,” Ethereal Rapture's Sage advised Xue Zheng.
“Yes.” Xue Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
The remainder of the forces were giving their respective sky-prides some last advice too.
Inside Acheron Manor's camp.
“Wudao, although your Jade Amulet is lost, the Emperor's Opportunity of Fortune is still there. Once you're inside, you must act according to chance. Remember, don't act on your emotions again,” Blackwillow Sage said as he looked at Yuan Wudao.
“Yes.”
Yuan Wudao nodded. He seemed a little off at the moment.
One of his arms was originally chopped off by Chu Kuangren in the Demonic h.o.a.rder Forefather's secret realm, but now, he had been reattached with a new arm. This arm was covered with many bandages, and it emanated ominous energy.
The sky-prides entered the Imperial Palace in succession.
Among them, the empyrean walkers stood out the most.
To many people, the biggest Opportunity of Fortune inside the Imperial Palace would most likely be taken by one of the empyrean walkers.
After all, no matter how great the sky prides from the rest of the orthodoxies were, they were only an Honorable or an Honorable Supreme at best.
On the other hand, these empyrean walkers could take on Sages!
They were a whole different level of sky-prides.
“The reemergence of the Imperial Palace has proven that our previous a.s.sumptions were correct. The Emperors did indeed leave all kinds of Opportunities of Fortune behind.”
One of the Sages said.
Some of the unknown lands' Sages were gathered together.
When the other Sages heard it, their eyes lit up.
“It seems that the act of burning books and hiding Emperors was not in vain. We're the only ones who possess the records regarding the various great Emperors these days. This would be of great help for us to get more Emperor's Opportunities of Fortune in the future.”
“That's right. It all comes down to the skills of each sect's sky-pride now.”
“Hah. The biggest Opportunity of Fortune in the Imperial Palace will and shall belong to us, the Acheron Manor.” Just then, a voice was heard.
An old man walked up to them in huge, confident strides.
“Your Acheron Manor's empyrean walker is indeed quite strong, but our own empyrean walkers are not any weaker either.”
“Oh, are you that confident, Purplevoid Sage? If the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique fails miserably inside the Imperial Palace, don't you eat your own words.”
The Sages looked disgusted when they saw the old man.
“We shall see then.”
A look of arrogance appeared on Purplevoid Sage's face.
He was very confident in Xiao Lintian. Of those below the level of a Sage, not many amongst the empyrean walkers could rival him.
“Quick, look. It's him.”
At this moment, astonished gasps came from the crowd.
Outside the Imperial Palace, a person was levitating in the sky. He was donned in a long-sleeved white robe with an exquisite sword strapped to his waist. His appearance looked otherworldly, and his demeanor was alluring.
A lot of the Sages narrowed their eyes when they saw this person.
