Chapter 5769: Critical Juncture
Celestial Court, unlike its name, was a vast realm. Its main region awaited beyond the celestial river. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Ancient temples and hallowed buildings stood tall among this endless world - the abodes of its emperors and gods.
The celestial river separated the two echelons - soldiers and lower-ranking members could only stay on the other side.
Rumor has it that long ago, the rules weren’t so strict. Back in the previous epoch, this core region was open to everyone with passageways and portals for mortals.
Later on, mortals were not allowed, and the same for ordinary cultivators. This eventually applied to the various ranks within Celestial Court as well.
Members of The People naturally weren’t invited to the core region. Only a few made it this far through fighting.
Although War God Dao Lord was famous for having attacked Celestial Court numerous times, he couldn't make it past the river.
First Vine was the first, going as far as challenging the three immortals of Celestial Court before leaving to start the age of the conquerors. Nightmoon came next to seek Sword Emperor who avoided her.
Unlike the first two, Duality Master also visited the inner region, albeit on a sightseeing journey instead of looking for a fight.
“Zzz...” The primordial ship dispersed into particles that latch onto Demon and the others.
“To formation!” Demon roared and emperors themselves marched like soldiers, acting as role models for the rest of the armies.
They witnessed palaces reaching the stars along the way. At the center was a mighty fortress protecting a crystal palace - seemingly carved from one massive block of crystal.
Waves of light pulsed from it and blessed the members of Celestial Court, improving their life force and battle prowess. A regular cultivator could turn into a giant capable of flipping the world.
Celestial Palace - the core of Celestial Court. Everything else was built around it.
It blessed the members, especially the ones who have been attached to its special ability. The latter could be teleported back here before certain death.
Knowledgeable cultivators understood that this palace was the very key to Celestial Court - the way to control the treasure known as Elder Galaxy.
There were five, no, four statues to the front. They towered and resembled four giants, seemingly taking up an absurd amount of space.
There seemed to be a fifth but it could also be construed as a dao platform - slightly resembling a lotus platform but was too unsightly to be.
Emperors and monarchs felt suffocated while looking up at these statues. Their faces were indistinct, purposely concealed by a supreme dao but still intimidating all the same.
