With the spirit-energy translocation bridges, travel to any destination had become far smoother. The Yuan Realm was a vast and greatly important place, so there were many translocation bridges connecting to it. Shen Mu looked out and saw that this was a translocation bridge at the center of the Yuan Realm, established within a divine city in the sky, not far from the Yuanmu.
He could not help but frown and say, "Dutian, why did we not go straight to Jingping? " Before the Dutian Demon King could answer, Yun Chuxiu laughed. "Jingping is a small place. There are only two translocation bridges connecting to it—one under my control, the other in the Zaofu Palace.
Coming by any other bridge, you can only arrive at this divine city. This divine city is called Yuandu, and it may be considered the center of the Yuan Realm. " Shen Mu's heart stirred slightly. He took out his travel permit and had the Dutian Demon King seek out the local divine general to register it, then asked offhandedly, "And who among the Heavenly Venerables now holds the Yuan Realm in hand? " He surveyed his surroundings.
Yuandu was magnificent and imposing, guarded by heavy troops, the divine city suspended twenty thousand li in the air, monitoring the motions of the heavens throughout the Yuan Realm. Many Daoists were flying through the sky, riding clouds, plucking the sun, moon, and stars from the heavens and rolling up the firmament itself. That was the Heavenly Chart.
A new Heavenly Chart had presumably already been fashioned. The old one was worn and decayed, and moreover too small to shroud the entire sky of the Yuan Realm; hence these Daoists of the Heavenly Court's Daoist sects were taking the old Heavenly Chart down. Yun Chuxiu also looked up, and said in surprise, "You truly did not know? The Yuan Realm as it stands was originally meant to fall into the hands of Heavenly Venerable Hao.
But in the end, Heavenly Venerable Hao was a little too impetuous, and Heavenly Venerable Xiao took advantage of him.
" She sighed mournfully. "Heavenly Venerable Xiao is deep and calculating. He seized the moment when the Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign resurrected and both she and Heavenly Venerable Hao were gravely wounded, forced Heavenly Venerable Hao out, and took the Yuan Realm for himself alone.
This Yuan Realm is no small matter. It was originally called Yuandu, and it is rich in heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Back when the Heavenly Court was being built, the Heavenly Emperor ordered the treasures of Yuandu to be mined for its construction. .
. " Shen Mu was greatly shaken, and scarcely heard the rest of what she said. Heavenly Venerable Xiao had obtained the Yuan Realm—then he was the incarnation of one of the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's souls in the Heavenly Court! Shen Mu had originally guessed that Heavenly Venerable Qiang was the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, but he had guessed wrong after all. "Perhaps the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor has two identities in the Heavenly Court—one is Heavenly Venerable Xiao, and the other Heavenly Consort Qiang.
" Shen Mu laughed.
"Good sister, how much do you know about Heavenly Venerable Xiao? " Yun Chuxiu blinked and said warily, "Whenever you want to pry something out of me, you call me good sister, your mouth as sweet as honey.
And once you have pried it out, I am a fox spirit, to be guarded against strictly.
What do you want with news of Heavenly Venerable Xiao? " Shen Mu said with the utmost sincerity, "I have been in the Heavenly Court for quite a few years now.
I am about to turn five, and yet I know nothing at all about Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
I find him most mysterious. So I would ask my sister to enlighten me a little. Good sister, Heavenly Venerable Xiao should not be unfamiliar to you, surely? " Yun Chuxiu shot him a glare and laughed.
