that's all.

Huang Liang followed.

He is a recorder, a witness to history under this starry sky.

......

Celestial Court.

The heavens descended with celestial energy.

Countless beings who embarked on the path of cultivation leaped over the Dragon Gate, their cultivation levels soaring like rockets in a short period of time.

This is the blessing brought by the Immortal Ancestor.

What all living beings need to do is very simple: cultivate to become a Great Luo Immortal and ascend to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Nine Heavens, nine legendary continents of living beings beneath the original starry sky.

The First Purple Cloud Heaven was formed after the death of the original Purple Cloud Master.

The Second Purple Cloud Heaven is the ancestral home of the Purple Cloud Clan, the former overlords of the starry sky.

The Third Purple Heaven was originally the hidden land of the Three Immortal Island Lords, who were originally ruler-level beings.

The Fourth Tai Xuan Heaven is the ancestral home of the Xuan Clan, the original overlords of the starry sky.

The Fifth Tai Miao Heaven is the place where the original ruler-level being, the Dharma King Miao Yu, passed away.

The Sixth Great Wilderness Heaven, the ancestral land of the Wilderness Clan, the original overlords of the starry sky.

The Seventh Boundless Heaven is the place where the original Sovereign-level being, the Boundless Ancestor, passed away.

The Eighth Heaven of No Self, the ancestral land of the original starry sky overlord, the Celestial Clan.

The Ninth Supreme Heaven is the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan and the place where the Dragon Ancestor secluded himself.

These nine heavens are vast and boundless, and when they are superimposed, they form the nine heavens.

The existence of the Nine Heavens is beyond the comprehension of all living beings.

Wherever the Celestial Court is under its rule, it can draw upon the celestial energy of the Nine Heavens.

This celestial energy is the secret to how quickly cultivators in the Celestial Court can become stronger.

The ultimate goal of cultivators is to become a Great Luo Immortal, ascend to the Nine Heavens, and join the ranks of immortals.

Once one transcends the nine heavens, one becomes a supreme immortal.

Since its inception, the Celestial Court has had more than two hands' worth of Celestial Venerables.

However, to date, no cultivator at the Immortal Lord level has been born.

The Immortal Lord is equivalent to the ruler among cultivators in the past.

Any power in the cosmos that aspires to become a hegemon must have a ruler overseeing it.

Although the Celestial Court has no ruler, it does not mean that it is not a hegemon.

With an Immortal Ancestor who defeated the cycle of reincarnation and a Dragon Ancestor hailed as the strongest ruler, the Celestial Court is undoubtedly one of the two strongest forces under the starry sky.

Just then, the Dao Bell resounded in the Ninth Supreme Heaven, the ancestral land of the original Dragon Clan.

"The supreme bell tolls, has a being from the ninth day of the Great Luo realm fallen?"

Within the celestial palaces, cultivators looked up in astonishment at the heavens.

They naturally couldn't see what the sky above was like, but they still couldn't help but look up.

Since the establishment of the Celestial Court, although the number of Celestial Venerables has exceeded two fingers, the Ninth Heaven of the Great Luo is still a powerful force.

The fall of an being of this caliber is a major event for the Celestial Court.

......

From the highest heavens, figures emerged one after another.

The Great Luo cultivator who had been in seclusion in the Nine Heavens flew out and headed towards the depths of the Celestial Court.

The magnificent celestial palace stands amidst the starry river, its entire structure forged from white jade.

These powerful immortals filed in, appearing somewhat insignificant within the celestial palace.

Before they entered, there were already several imposing figures in the celestial palace.

One of them held a white jade plate in his hand, his face solemn and dignified.

He is none other than Hao Xianzun, the first disciple of the Immortal Ancestor, the common master of the Immortal Court, and destined to become the Immortal Lord in the future.

The white jade disc he carried was the Jade Tablet of Creation bestowed by the Immortal Ancestor.

Holding this Jade Tablet of Creation, one can command all the immortals of the Celestial Court.

In addition, the Jade Tablet of Creation also contains the great power of the Immortal Ancestor.

Haoxian Venerable once held the Jade Tablet of Creation and, together with two other celestial venerables from the Celestial Court, killed a sovereign-level being.

During the years when the Immortal Ancestor did not appear and the Dragon Ancestor went into seclusion, he was the undisputed ruler of the Immortal Court.

"Zhen Kong is dead. He died at his hands."

Seeing that the Great Luo had almost arrived, Hao raised the Creation Jade Tablet in his hand.

The illusory image that shook the air was projected from the Jade Tablet of Creation.

The scene before his death was reflected on it with unparalleled clarity.

Whether it was Hao or the other powerful figures from the Celestial Court, they all witnessed Huang Liang's attack.

Does anyone recognize this person?

Haoxian Venerable looked around and swept his gaze over the assembled immortals.

After all, it contains not only newly emerging powerhouses, but also those who have surrendered to the old guard.

These people may not be at a high level, but they certainly know more secrets than those newly promoted powerhouses.

After all, the Celestial Court is newly established, and although it is expanding rapidly, its current focus is still on cultivation.

No one will study the history of this starry sky, and no one will bother to compile its history.

Expansion is their sole mission.

Inside the celestial palace, the immortals looked at each other, none of them knowing Huang Liang's true identity.

This scene was also within Haotian's expectations.

After all, this starry sky is simply too vast. Even with the rapid expansion of the Celestial Court, the area it covers may be less than one-tenth of this starry sky... or even less.

Of course, the number of powerful figures from the dominant forces crushed by the Celestial Court may far exceed one-tenth of the total number of powerful figures in this starry sky.

Putting everything else aside, the creation of the Nine Heavens alone involved the killing of five Sovereign-level beings.

Although there are still quite a few ruler-level beings in this starry sky, there are definitely not as many as forty-five.

If there are truly so many, then it's no longer a matter of the Celestial Court and the Martial Academy vying for expansion, but rather these sovereign-level beings forming a group to fight against the Celestial Court and the Martial Academy.

"Immortal Hao, Zhen Kong is leading his troops into battle this time to punish the traitors of the Black Dragon Clan."

"Although none of the fellow Daoists present recognize this person, I believe he must be connected to the Black Dragon Clan's rebellion."

"It's even quite possible that the ambush set up by the Black Dragon Clan and this person was actually triggered by the Black Dragon Clan's ruler. However, because the Black Dragon Clan's ruler intervened and obscured the secrets of the Black Dragon Clan, we only saw this person."

"Therefore, if we pursue them according to the standards used against Venerable-level beings, we are very likely to fail again, or even be ambushed by the Black Dragon Clan's ruler."

"My suggestion is to simply do as it is. Why don't you lead the attack and use this opportunity to wipe out the Black Dragon Clan?"

The voice came from the first seat to Haoxianzun's right.

There was a man sitting in that seat, but he had golden dragon horns growing from his forehead.

He was no ordinary person to be able to sit next to Haoxian.

Ao Xun, a member of the Golden Dragon Clan, is honored as the Dragon Seeker Immortal Venerable.

"I second that. With the unparalleled divine might of Immortal Hao, he will surely achieve extraordinary feats."

"Although Ao Ni is a fierce and ruthless scoundrel, the last time the Dragon Ancestor came out of seclusion to fight, he had already damaged his foundation. With Immortal Venerable Hao personally taking action, he has no way to escape even if he wants to."

"That is not true. I believe that even if this beast had not been injured, it would have been easy for Immortal Hao to capture it."

After a few words from the immortal venerables, they reached a consensus and set the tone.

How could the celestial court, seemingly peaceful and harmonious, truly be peaceful?

Even though Hao Xianzun was the eldest disciple of the Immortal Ancestor, he was still just an Immortal Venerable.

Since everyone here is a Celestial Venerable, they naturally all want to compete for the position of the common ruler of the Celestial Court.

Even if we take a step back and say that the Immortal Ancestor wanted someone to become the Immortal Lord and rule the Immortal Court, what he really wanted was someone to do so.

Does it matter whether the Immortal Lord is Hao or not?

It's important, but not that important.
