As if they had imagined some terrifying consequences, the heavenly soldiers trembled, and then continued forward under the leadership of the silver-armored heavenly general.

Until they had disappeared from sight, Chen Qian brushed off the stupid fish that was blowing bubbles on him and resurfaced in the lake.

However, shock and confusion still lingered on Shen Qian's face.

These celestial soldiers and generals not only came back to life, but also fully regained their consciousness, and the information revealed in their conversation was even more terrifying.

Queen Mother... Heavenly Emperor...

Shen Qian desperately hoped that the group of heavenly soldiers were joking with him, but they didn't seem like extras at all.

Assuming all of this is true, then this is a very serious matter.

He actually entered a perfectly intact Heavenly Realm?

Or is it...?

As if he had thought of some possibility, Shen Qian's expression changed.

Could it be that he accidentally crossed the river of time again?

Although he entered through a "door," he did not encounter the river of time in his memory.

"The 'gate' can divide the world, and it can also reverse time and space, revive myths, and bring legends back to life..."

Shen Qian recalled a theory about "doors," muttering it several times, but still couldn't be sure whether he had stumbled into a revived myth or the myth itself.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Chen Qian could no longer linger here.

The "ascended immortal" that the heavenly soldiers and generals were talking about must be referring to him, which means that he has already been blacklisted by these heavenly soldiers and generals.

A mere hundred people posed no threat to Shen Qian, but Shen Qian knew the true number of these heavenly soldiers and generals.

Most importantly, these resurrected heavenly soldiers and generals are significantly stronger than the undead they encountered before the sinking.

Those bronze-armored celestial soldiers alone possessed the strength of a half-step Mountain and Sea Realm expert, while the silver-armored celestial generals were definitely above the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The Scales that once suppressed the outer edge of this Heavenly Realm could no longer be sensed before sinking, and it was unknown whether they had disappeared or gone somewhere else.

His body left the lake and sank rapidly toward the palace that appeared in the distance.

To find out whether this place is indeed the so-called Heavenly Realm, Chen Qian obviously needs to gather more information.

...

About ten minutes later, near a palace floating in the clouds, Shen Qian silently revealed his figure.

His expression, however, was not relaxed.

Although the palace in sight was extremely far away, given the speed at which it was sinking, it shouldn't have taken this long.

Unfortunately, he encountered at least six or seven waves of heavenly soldiers patrolling along the way.

Those heavenly soldiers had a clear objective; they were obviously searching for him.

This required a great deal of effort from Shen Qian to evade, and so, after many stumbles and falls, he finally arrived near this palace.

He vaguely sensed that the heavenly soldiers and generals seemed to have some special method to track his location, but he couldn't figure out what it was yet.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts for the moment, he focused on examining the palace standing in mid-air before him.

The palaces in the Heavenly Realm are almost all built in mid-air, which is not surprising. Judging from their position above the ground, the status of this palace in the Heavenly Realm is probably quite ordinary.

Last time, Tantai Qin explained some common knowledge from her memory to Shen Qian.

The most important architectural complex in the Heavenly Realm consists of the Thirty-Six Palaces and Seventy-Two Halls, where many of the Heavenly Realm's righteous gods reside.

In addition, there are some hidden and dangerous places scattered in all directions, which are the dwelling places of some mythical beasts.

However, the Heavenly Realm is extremely vast and contains more than just these few places. After all, besides immortals and gods, the Heavenly Realm also has a vast number of heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as fairies and goddesses.

Shen Qian began to suspect that the palace in front of him was the place where ordinary fairies lived, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because this palace covers such a large area that it even surpasses the Yaochi Palace that Shen had visited before.

Strangely, this huge palace was not guarded by any heavenly soldiers.

Filled with doubt, Chen Qian activated his Eye of Truth and, after confirming that there were no protective formations in the palace, he flashed to the main gate of the palace.

Fortunately, there is a plaque hanging here with three large characters written on it.

However, the ancient seal script was beyond Shen Qian's understanding. He could only guess and make out that the middle character should be "horse". He was completely baffled by the other two characters.

Upon entering the main hall, it was as if a barrier had been broken through, and a stirring neighing sound reached Shen Qian's ears.

"That's... a horse's neigh?"

Chen Qian was a little stunned, then quickly walked forward. After passing what should have been a reception hall, a vast grassland suddenly appeared before him.

Shen Qian then understood why the palace was built so spaciously; it was actually a place used to raise horses.

Ahead, on the lush green grass, thousands of horses were roaming freely.

Those horses were twice as tall as those usually seen before the sinking, and some even had wings on their backs, making them exceptionally majestic.

"A place where horses are kept...the Imperial Stables?"

Shen Qian suddenly realized what was going on and finally knew how to pronounce those three words.

Just as Shen Qian was clicking his tongue, a hunched figure carrying a large bucket suddenly walked across the grassland and headed deeper into the Imperial Horse Stables.

"Old Hu?"

With his exceptional eyesight, Shen Qian was able to clearly see his face even from thousands of meters away. It was none other than Grandpa Hu, who had entered the "gate" a step earlier than Shen Qian.

Finally spotting a familiar face, Shen Qian was overjoyed and immediately followed.

When Shen Qian caught up with Old Man Hu, he had just stepped into a back hall. Shen Qian wanted to call out to him, but he suddenly stopped and even concealed his aura.
