A colossus who rules over three thousand divine realms possesses enough wealth to fund the initial expansion of the City of All Heavens, so Yang An naturally wouldn't let it go.
......
Tianlan Realm, Nangong Domain
This is the ancestral land of the Nangong family. In the past, the Ancient Thunder Immortal King was stationed here, making him a powerful figure in the region. In the Tianlan Realm, who did not give the Nangong family some face?
But today, with the fall of the Ancient Thunder Immortal King, the Nangong family's biggest backer is gone, and the Nangong family of Tianlan Realm will never regain its former glory, falling from a first-rate power to a second-rate one.
The forces that were once on good terms with the Nangong family are now avoiding them like the plague, and some powerful figures have even bared their fangs and are frantically devouring the Nangong family's resources.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Nangong family, the elders of the Nangong family were all frowning with worry.
"The Azure Wood Immortal King has rejected the Nangong family's request; he has no intention of venturing into these troubled waters."
A highly respected elder of the Nangong family spoke in a trembling voice, his words making the atmosphere in the hall even more somber.
"If it weren't for Ancestor Gu Lei, would Immortal King Qingmu have been able to attain the Immortal King realm?"
"What oath did he make back then? That he would protect the Nangong family when it faced a life-or-death crisis? But now he hasn't even stood up to say a word."
An elder of the Nangong family barely suppressed his anger, but was quickly interrupted by a white-bearded old man.
"Enough! How dare you discuss the Azure Wood Immortal King?" the white-bearded old man rebuked angrily, displaying a tone of disappointment and frustration.
Now that Immortal King Gu Lei has fallen, if the Nangong family continues to recklessly gossip about an Immortal King behind his back, and if they anger Immortal King Qingmu, the Nangong family will be completely finished.
"Alright, perhaps this calamity was destined for the Nangong family."
The head of the Nangong family closed his eyes, as if making a firm decision, and said in a deep voice, "As long as the Jade Balance Immortal King is willing to protect my Nangong family on their journey to the Heavenly Pass, my Nangong family is willing to give all its resources to Lord Jade Balance."
Jade Balance Immortal King, one of the Twelve Immortal Kings of Tianlan, also rose to prominence after the Immortal Ancient Era.
Today, the Heavenly Gate of Tianlan Realm is guarded by the Jade Balance Immortal King.
The Heavenly Gate was a place of despair, filled with slaughter and bloodshed. Below the Celestial King, all were like ants.
The Heavenly Gate is also the most terrifying place in the Immortal Realm. It is guarded by Supreme Immortal Kings, and even Quasi-Immortal Emperors. Once you enter the Heavenly Gate, all grudges will be settled.
Those who enter the Heavenly Gate can only die on the battlefield against the dark creatures; no one else is allowed to attack the creatures guarding the Heavenly Gate!
Now, only Tianguan can protect the Nangong family!
"Patriarch Nangong, you have made a wise decision."
A hearty laugh echoed from the void. The Immortal King, whose name is always invoked, will surely receive a response.
The moment the head of the Nangong family made up his mind, the Jade Balance Immortal King sensed it and sent a wisp of divine thought down upon the Nangong family.
Now that the Nangong family is no longer protected by a Celestial King, they have no privacy whatsoever for the Jade Balance Celestial King.
As a royal family, the Nangong family possessed countless treasures accumulated over millions of years, which even a Celestial King would covet. In particular, the Thunder Emperor's Eye used by the Ancient Thunder Celestial King made the Jade Balance Celestial King even more eager to possess it.
"If we can send the Nangong family to Tianguan, we will not only gain access to their entire wealth and resources, but we can also solve the manpower shortage in Tianguan. This is a considerable achievement."
Jade Balance Immortal King thought to himself.
Wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts and intrigue. This is true for both the Tianlan Realm and the Immortal Realm, and even the Heavenly Gate is no exception.
Although the Jade Balance Immortal King wields immense power in the Tianlan Realm, he is at most a Realm Envoy in the Heavenly Gate.
Although the Heavenly Gate has been constantly battling the dark creatures, it has also explored the Dark Lands over the years. The Dark Lands contain countless celestial treasures and rare items, even items that can help a Celestial King advance further. These are all worth the Jade Balance Celestial King's efforts to obtain.
"Immortal King Yuheng is too kind. Please, Immortal King Yuheng, escort the Nangong family to the Heavenly Gate."
The head of the Nangong family gave a bitter smile.
Jade Balance Immortal King nodded, supporting the boundless territory of the Nangong family with one hand, and intending to tear open space with the other to head towards the Heavenly Gate.
"No, I'm still here!" Nangong Ao looked at Yuheng Immortal King supporting the Nangong family with one hand, feeling extremely anxious.
Could it be... that even the Nangong family is going to abandon him?
Nangong Ao was utterly desperate.
But just as Jade Balance Immortal King was about to lead the Nangong family to the Heavenly Pass, he suddenly sensed something, as if he had encountered a formidable enemy. His face showed both shock and anger: "Do you, the cities of the heavens, intend to be enemies of the Heavenly Pass?"
Upon hearing these words from Jade Balance Immortal King, the faces of the Nangong family members gradually turned fearful. They knew that the master of that terrifying city had not forgiven them because of the fall of Ancient Thunder Immortal King.
He wanted to wipe out the Nangong family!
As expected, a figure could be vaguely seen in the space-time passage. His entire body was covered by terrifying divine fire, and the Great Dao seemed to be melting away at this moment. He was like an unparalleled god who controlled the fire of all things. The laws of divine fire intersected and condensed into mysterious and terrifying divine patterns that illuminated the heavens.
"By order of the City Lord, the Nangong family's three thousand divine realms are now under the jurisdiction of the City of All Heavens."
"Fellow Daoist, you can't take the Nangong family members with you!"
"Immortal King Jiyang said calmly."
Jade Balance Immortal King's expression changed repeatedly; this was yet another Immortal King he had never seen before!
The strange city's resources were far more powerful than he had imagined!
Jade Balance Immortal King spoke, "Although you are very powerful, once you come to this era, you must abide by the rules of this era. This is a person from the Heavenly Gate, you cannot touch him!"
Jade Balance Immortal King directly brought out the Heavenly Gate, since his main body was still guarding the Heavenly Gate, and what had come to the Nangong family was just an avatar.
However, the Jade Balance Immortal King forgot the most fatal point.
Ancient Thunder Immortal King was willing to stay at the Heavenly Gate for an entire era, and even the intervention of Heavenly Lan Immortal King could not change his fate of death.
Now that Jade Balance Immortal King only has a wisp of divine thought, how could he possibly make Extreme Yang Immortal King back down?
Without further ado, the Supreme Yang Immortal King slapped out with his palm, his massive hand sweeping across the room, its terrifying aura seemingly about to incinerate everything.
Without exception, with a loud bang, the wisp of divine thought of the Jade Balance Immortal King was directly extinguished by a single palm strike.
"A mere wisp of divine thought dares to discuss rules with my Heavenly City?"
The Immortal King of Extreme Yang laughed disdainfully.
Rules are set by fists; you can't talk about rules without fists.
At this moment, many immortal true immortals of the Nangong family wanted to escape as they watched this scene, but unfortunately, their power was too insignificant in the face of a Celestial King.
With just a thought, countless wails echoed throughout the entire Tianlan Realm, and all beings related to the Nangong family by blood perished at that moment.
