Chapter 336: The Battle between the Ancient Emperor and the New Emperor, the Heavenly Marriage, the Final Stage
A large, dazzling silver-white hand seemed to reach out from the depths of the endless void. Without any warning, it blocked Jiang Lan's attack, took away the Lord of the Stars, and disappeared.
There was an uproar at the ruins of the Heavenly Palace. Everyone was stunned, extremely shocked and horrified, and it took them a long time to recover.
Even Jiang Ruxian, Li Ran, Empress Wanyang and others were extremely shocked, and it seemed like they hadn't recovered for a long time.
"Could this be the Emperor of the Ancient Heaven taking action..."
After a moment, Li Ran was the first to react and couldn't help but whispered.
That kind of supreme and immortal power transcends the universe and makes people tremble. It seems that only the Emperor of Heaven in this world can possess such invincible power.
Today, Jiang Lan's strength has reached an incredible level. Even if there is an infinite space and time between them and a barrier between the two worlds, he can still capture the Lord of the Dharma Realm with one palm.
The mysterious, dazzling silver hand just now obviously also possessed such incredible magical power.
Moreover, that dazzling silver hand was extremely perfect, as if it had condensed the most supreme and perfect power in the world, the purest and flawless faith. It was invincible and could destroy everything.
Jiang Ruxian frowned slightly, somewhat confused, and glanced at Jiang Lan, who was in the center of the heaven, in confusion.
"It should be the Emperor of the Ancient Heaven who took action. I have heard from the people of the Star Gate that the Emperor of Heaven has already descended to the world, but he has not yet appeared in the world."
“I never thought that the Ancient Sky Emperor would take action at this time and take away the Lord of the Stars. It seems that the Five Seasons God who was brought back by the Star Gate is also by the side of the Ancient Sky Emperor.” Li Qingxian’s face was solemn.
The power of Ancient Emperor Tian is definitely higher than that of Jiang Lan. Perhaps Ancient Emperor Tian has not yet recovered due to various reasons, but that is unimaginable for the world.
"This is a power that surpasses that of the Realm Lord..." Empress Wan Yang was also whispering, her eyes bright and shocked.
Ancient Sky Emperor, the one who once established the Ancient Heaven Court and opened up the system of ascension to immortality, was the first immortal since the creation of the world. His strength was so powerful that it could be said that no one could match him throughout history.
The entire Kyushu land is still immersed in the shocking scene just now.
Only a few people who knew the inside story guessed the identity of the owner of the dazzling silver-white hand and were shocked and horrified.
This is the first time in history that two Heavenly Emperors coexist.
In the battle between the New Emperor of Heaven and the Ancient Emperor of Heaven, who will have the last laugh in the end, truly rule over the heavens and rebuild the heaven?
Of course, the terrifying strength that Jiang Lan has now displayed is already shocking enough. Who in the world can still be his enemy?
"The Ancient Heavenly Emperor has already descended, but his current strength has not yet recovered, so there is no need to be afraid of him."
Jiang Lan spoke calmly. He sat cross-legged in the center of the new heaven. Endless divine light descended, covering him like a sea of stars. Runes of the great way surrounded him, making even his hair look sacred and bright.
Afterwards, he began to confer titles on everyone in the Heavenly Court in the name of the New Heavenly Emperor.
On the harem list provided by Li Qingshu, everyone was blessed by the power of wishes. Torrents of divine light came from all over the heaven and earth, gathered together, and then turned into a vast ocean of light rain, pouring back into the sky, and dripping onto the entire land of Kyushu.
This is the rain of enlightenment brought by the Emperor of Heaven, which brings blessings to all living things.
All the living beings and cultivators were nourished, either their bones were improved, their lifespans were increased, or their mana was accumulated, or they achieved sudden enlightenment and breakthroughs on the spot...
"We are waiting to see the Emperor of Heaven..."
There was a roar of kowtow and shouting like a tsunami.
On this day, the New Heaven was established, and the entire land of Kyushu was in an uproar, with sounds of carnival everywhere.
In the center of the Heavenly Palace, Jiang Lan sat there and preached to all living beings, which lasted for three full days.
During this period, golden lotus flowers blossomed in the void, clear springs gushed out on the ground, and all kinds of strange phenomena appeared between heaven and earth.
The monks and creatures who came from overseas, various immortal sects and secluded tribes to listen to the teachings gathered into a huge crowd, and it was impossible to squeeze in no matter how hard you tried.
The Emperor of Heaven preached, which was a holy thing that the ancient sages had never heard of, but they were fortunate enough to see it.
The New Heaven was established, and its power surpassed that of any sect or force in ancient and modern times. All tribes and sects from all over the world and star fields came to pay homage to it. Everyone realized that the emergence of the New Heaven would bring about an unprecedented brilliant era.
Maybe the immortal will appear.
After the establishment of the New Heaven, the land of Jiuzhou is still undergoing tremendous changes. The various rules and principles between heaven and earth are being perfected, the spiritual energy is becoming more and more dense, and immortality substances are no longer rare. Even saints have a longer lifespan than before.
When the Heavenly Court was established that day, the dazzling silver hand that appeared also attracted discussions among many creatures and monks.
In the complete universe where the Star Gate is located, the Gate Master and many elders and high-ranking officials of the Star Gate were not discouraged at all by Jiang Lan's claim to the throne. Instead, they were extremely excited by the mysterious existence that took away the Lord of the Stars.
“Emperor of Heaven…”
"That is the real Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor has already descended to the world, and soon he will reign again. The so-called new emperor will eventually be suppressed by the real Heavenly Emperor."
In the heavens outside the world and in the major ancient forbidden areas, there is silence and quietness.
The terrifying giant hand that had been reaching out from the heavens since ancient times was so huge and shocking that it naturally could not escape their perception.
This kind of power has obviously surpassed the level of the Realm Master, making them all fearful of it.
"It seems that Jiang Lan has already reached that step..."
In the Buzhouduan Mountain, Buzhou Fairy whispered. Beside her, Lu Chenyu, Gu Luoyan and others were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, practicing an immortal scripture together. This was the scripture left by the Queen of Heaven. There were also four kinds of immortal swords with sparkling fairy lights hanging high above their heads, emitting a terrifying murderous intent.
"Has Jiang Lan become the Realm Master?" Ye Chanyi, who was also practicing in Buzhou Duanshan, was awakened from his retreat and was extremely shocked.
During the time she spent in Buzhou Mountain, she had learned many secrets and knew that in the future a horrific and unprecedented war would break out between the heavens and the ancient heaven.
The key figure in this battle is Jiang Lan. He is the new emperor in the prophecy left by the Queen Mother. He will also establish a new heaven and open a new era.
"The mark left by the Lord of Xuanhuang Realm has been getting louder and louder recently. Is this urging me?"
Ye Chanyi looked at her arm again. The mark on it was still very clear, and it emitted a burning breath from time to time, as if urging her.
In the vast world of swordsmanship, on a stone wall of the Misty Sword Cliff, there were some ripples in Chu Xiuyan's calm eyes. She raised her head and looked into the distance at the sky.
Strange phenomena appeared throughout the heavens. The Lord of the Realm fell, and the Heavenly Heart Seal he held disintegrated and collapsed. This was a scene of the collapse of the Dao. Blood rained down, and blood-colored thunders struck down, accompanied by the howling of ghosts and wolves, as if all the Daos were wailing.
The Lord of the Dharma Realm is dead. The Lords of the Realms hiding in various mysterious time and space and zones have all felt it. They are trembling, terrified, and more vigilant and careful.
After the establishment of the New Heaven, the land of Kyushu ushered in an era of prosperity unprecedented in history.
As the new Heavenly Emperor, Jiang Lan sat in the center of Heaven, intimidating the whole world. All the Taoist tribes, whether outside the domain or overseas, were intimidated.
Half a year after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven ended, magnificent pavilions and palaces rose up in the center of heaven. They were magnificent and resplendent, decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and filled with a festive atmosphere.
The Heavenly Palace once again welcomed a grand event. Red lanterns were hung everywhere. On the divine islands and fairy mountains, the sky was filled with rosy clouds and auspicious colors. There were auspicious beasts everywhere. There were blue phoenixes bringing wreaths, and spirit deer delivering clear springs. Brilliant stars came from the depths of the sky, and even the falling waterfalls were dyed with the rosy clouds.
The Emperor of Heaven will canonize all the concubines in the harem and will hold a grand celestial wedding today. All the immortal sects and ethnic groups in the Nine Provinces have sent gifts and blessings. They have taken their seats in the immortal mountains in the Heavenly Palace, toasting each other and making the wedding extremely lively.
Before the canonization, the Taoist clansmen who had been on good terms with Li Qingshu for a long time due to various nepotism relationships, all had smiles on their faces, watching the darling girl sent by their family walking gracefully past the red-dressing ceremony, and were filled with joy.
With this kind of relationship, not only can one get a position in the Heavenly Palace in the future, but one can also obtain the protection of the Emperor of Heaven, which is something no one can envy.
As the mother of the Emperor of Heaven, Li Qingshu is very concerned about giving birth to an heir for the Emperor. To be included on the list of women to be conferred titles by her, they must not only be gifted, talented, have personality and family background, but must also pass all the tests. Naturally, it is not just about filling up the numbers.
It was still far from the three thousand concubines she thought she had. After counting carefully, there were only more than ten people.
The heavenly wedding was extremely grand, with red makeup stretching for tens of thousands of miles, passing in front of palaces, towers, pavilions and halls. Graceful and attractive palace maids, holding golden lamps and incense burners, stood on both sides.
One by one, the charming concubines, dressed in phoenix coronet and bridal robe, walked slowly in the fairy mist, appearing and disappearing, otherworldly and out of this world, like a group of immortals parading, which was a beautiful sight.
The entire heaven was shrouded in a festive atmosphere.
This heavenly wedding ceremony lasted for three days. Deep in the heavenly palace, around the emperor's bedroom, palaces of the empress and palaces of the emperor and empress were built. The scale of the heavenly palace continued to expand.
On the wedding day, Jiang Lan drank a lot of precious wine from the immortals, but he was unable to digest it with his cultivation.
Although he had achieved enlightenment and declared himself the Emperor of Heaven, he had not yet cut off worldly thoughts and the cause and effect of the worldly world, so he drank to his heart's content that day, and went to the Palace of the Queen of Heaven, the Palace of the Emperor and the Queen, and enjoyed the blessing of having many wives, which was the envy of all men in the world.
However, with his current level of cultivation, even Jiang Ruxian felt a little overwhelmed, and then generously told him to find someone else.
As for Li Qingshu and others' wish of giving birth to offspring, Jiang Lan did not take it to heart.
To a large extent, he agreed to hold this heavenly marriage just to make up for Li Mengning and others. What Emperor Xia had, they should have too.
After the wedding, Jiang Lan was not busy looking for the whereabouts of "Ancient Emperor Tian".
Even Li Ran and others felt that this matter was very urgent. On the surface, it seemed that the power of Heaven was growing day by day, but that was only on the surface. In fact, there were considerable hidden dangers in secret.
Unless Jiang Lan is truly powerful enough to be fearless of everything, as long as the "Ancient Heavenly Emperor" does not disappear, the foundation of the Heavenly Court will not be truly stable.
Jiang Ruxian, on the other hand, didn't seem to be worried about these things, and didn't ask about Jiang Lan's "Ancient Heavenly Emperor" matter.
After the wedding, she changed her previous otherworldly image and became very gentle and virtuous. She wore simple casual clothes and stayed by Jiang Lan's side. She would travel with him, walking around the land of Kyushu, touring the mountains and rivers, admiring the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, and walking through every inch of land. They looked like a newlywed couple on their honeymoon.
Although Queen Xia was very envious, she could not leave the Great Xia Dynasty for too long due to her status, so she secretly told Jiang Lan to make it up to her in the future.
Jiang Lan naturally agreed readily.
After marriage, Li Mengning was still the same as before, spending most of her time in seclusion practicing. She couldn't get used to living in the Emperor's and Empress' Palace, and preferred to return to the Holy Maiden Peak of Taiyi Sect. She would be in seclusion for several months, sometimes even longer.
After coming out of confinement, he liked to stay by Jiang Lan's side and never leave her side.
As for the other concubines, Jiang Lan actually didn't spend much time with them. Su Qinghan had been practicing with Empress Wanyang and had little time to spare. The others were also working hard to improve their strength.
In today's brilliant world, cultivation strength is the most important thing. All the concubines see it very clearly. For example, Queen Jiang Ruxian's cultivation is the best in the world and no one can match her. No one can shake her position.
Even Empress Li Mengning is already a saint. If they want to secure their positions and enjoy the wealth and glory they deserve, in addition to winning Jiang Lan's favor, they also have to rely on their own cultivation strength and background.
Of course, with a Queen Mother and two Emperors and Empresses in charge of the harem, the other concubines would certainly not have any ulterior motives, and they did not cause any trouble for Jiang Lan.
The most important thing is that most of the concubines in the harem today have had many experiences and pasts with Jiang Lan. They know his character, so they are all very sensible.
Time passed quickly, spring went and autumn came, the leaves of the sycamore trees fell and the maple leaves turned red year after year. Three full years had passed since the establishment of the Heavenly Palace.
During these three years, Jiang Lan did not actually take any action against the Star Sect, nor did he deliberately look for the whereabouts and traces of the Immortal Sects.
The Heavenly Court was at its peak, and in this brilliant and prosperous era, many geniuses and outstanding people emerged. Opportunities appeared frequently in various places, far more than before. Ancient relics also appeared from time and space, attracting scramble from all parties.
A lot of fresh blood joined the Heavenly Court. Many geniuses admired and respected the Emperor of Heaven and wanted to join the Heavenly Court and serve him. Finally, after passing layers of tests, they became the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the Heavenly Gate.
The power of the Heavenly Court today is no longer what it used to be. Even a Heavenly Soldier guarding the Heavenly Gate needs to have the cultivation level of the Seventh Level Dharma Realm.
The amount of faith absorbed and gathered by the Heavenly Palace is far more than before. In the temples of the Emperor of Heaven in various places, incense is burned all day long, and the power of faith is endless.
In the transformed middle thousand sphere, the power that was born that surpassed the level of the universe was becoming stronger and stronger, like a river, constantly surging.
After the establishment of Heaven, its influence not only spread to the outside world, but also deeply affected the outside world of the heavens. The surge of mental power it brought was far greater than before.
It can be said that Jiang Lan’s strength is changing every day.
The Golden Tripod of Luck and the Tower of Aspirations are shrouded by the power of luck and the power of mind all day long. Jiang Lan's soul figurine broke away from the Soul Palace and sat cross-legged at the top. Behind the soul figurine, the mysterious ancient vine swayed and trembled. Every leaf was full of traces of the Great Dao, expounding the true meaning of the Great Dao.
If you look closely, you will find that the colors of the three Dao Fruits of Fortune, the Dao Fruit of Life, the Dao Fruit of Years, and the Dao Fruit of Realm, have all turned into the deepest gold, with a hint of dazzling crimson in it.
This means that these three fruits of luck are already maturing towards the final stage, which is the fifth stage.
As for the ripening speed of the Heart Fruit, it was beyond imagination, and the entire color had turned into deep red.
After becoming the new Heavenly Emperor, the feedback of luck and the absorption of mental power brought about by it exceeded any previous period. The scope of this impact covered the entire land of Kyushu and many worlds in the heavens, which was beyond imagination.
Now, even the fifth fruit of luck is almost ripe.
In Jiang Lan's eyes, the fruit of luck was the most magical. It was shrouded in chaotic energy and could not be seen clearly. It was changing every moment, as if it contained all things in the world and encompassed the truth of the heavens. It was wonderful beyond words.
As for the fifth fruit of luck, Jiang Lan actually had an idea of what it would be.
He was also waiting for this Tao fruit to mature.
"The commotion in the land of Jiuzhou has gradually calmed down, but this process will still last for a long time. When it is completely over, it will be the day when the Nine Epochs end."
Jiang Lan left the Emperor's Palace and walked towards the palaces in the harem.
He shuttled through the palaces of concubines. Each palace was very magnificent and luxurious. Whether it was the walls or the floors, they were all painted with runes, flashing with fairy light, absorbing and gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The speed of practicing here was far beyond any other paradise outside.
The materials used to build these palaces alone are rare spiritual materials and are extremely valuable.
"Lingyun Palace?"
Jiang Lan passed by a palace, stopped there, and then walked in. All the palace maids serving there were panicked and knelt down hurriedly.
"Who lives here?"
Jiang Lan asked all the palace maids to stand up, and then asked casually, three years have passed, and there are now many more palaces in the harem, which he had never known about.
Now that there were new people in the harem, he just let his mother decide, and since Jiang Ruxian, Emperor Xia, and Li Mengning agreed, he agreed.
"Your servant Xie Lingyun has met the Emperor of Heaven."
In Lingyun Palace, a graceful woman in a fairy feather dress walked out with joy and bowed with admiration in her eyes.
She looked to be in her twenties, with fair and delicate features, pretty eyebrows and eyes, snow-white skin, and her every frown and smile was very moving. Moreover, her cultivation had reached the level of a saint.
"The Xie family, the hidden family that came into being some time ago?" Jiang Lan nodded in a daze.
"My clan sent me to the Heavenly Palace to serve the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor of Heaven is in seclusion all year round and it is rare to see him. I have not seen you in person even after entering the palace for several months." Xie Lingyun said with admiration in her eyes.
