…
Divine Kingdom’s Heavenly Dao Palace.
Xuanyuan Moxie sat atop the divine dragon, his eyes closed.
His entire being was enveloped in an incredibly profound aura.
In front of him stood several elders.
These elders would appear roughly once a month to report on the various significant matters of the Divine Kingdom to Xuanyuan Moxie.
“Has there been anything of importance in the Divine Kingdom recently?”
Xuanyuan Moxie’s voice rang out calmly.
The leading elder in a green robe stepped forward cautiously and said, “Reporting to the Palace Lord, a phenomenon occurred in Seaside City. A unique bloodline awakener was born. After being tested by the Heavenly Dao Palace, their dragon veins proved pure and could be summoned back to the Heavenly Dao Palace.”
“We can even wait until they come of age and send them to the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace for cultivation training.”
Xuanyuan Moxie nodded. “Not bad. In this era, countless prodigies are rising. The Heavenly Dao Palace is precisely in need of such individuals.”
“For years, we at the Heavenly Dao Palace have essentially overseen every domain within the Divine Kingdom, except for the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace.”
“But the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace is unique. The dragons within are not so easily dealt with.”
“Name the child Zhu Long and bring them back to the Heavenly Dao Palace. Let one of our core elders oversee their care.”
“Next matter.”
The green-robed elder bowed. “Very well.”
Then, the elder cautiously took out a jade scroll. “Palace Lord, the Divine Light Ceremony has concluded completely.”
“This time, several prodigies have emerged.”
“This year’s Divine Light Ceremony was truly spectacular! Over the past century, the Divine Kingdom has produced a multitude of talents! Sun Wuwang, Li Sheng, Zhao Lingren, Xuanyuan Jing, and others are all supremely gifted prodigies!”
“Of course, there are talents even more extraordinary.”
Xuanyuan Moxie showed a faint smile, for he had heard the Xuanyuan Clan’s name.
It was a piece of good news.
Since rising to the position of Palace Lord of the Heavenly Dao Palace, resources had leaned more favorably toward the Xuanyuan Family.
The Xuanyuan Family’s strength was now unlike ever before.
Suddenly, he realized something and asked, “There are talents even more extraordinary than those from our Xuanyuan Clan?”
The green-robed elder hesitated for a few seconds but eventually responded, “Yes, there are two individuals.”
“One is Ji Yan from the second-rate force, Luoxia Sect.”
“The other is Ye Chen, a newly risen genius of the Divine Kingdom, from the Divine Extreme Sect.”
The elder originally intended to lavish praise on the two, but realizing that doing so would overshadow the talents within the Xuanyuan Family, making the Palace Lord angry, he kept his words brief.
Xuanyuan Moxie opened his eyes. “Ye Chen?”
For some reason, the mere name stirred a deep sense of unease in him.
“Show me the scenes from the Divine Light Ceremony. I’m curious to see just how remarkable these prodigies Ji Yan and Ye Chen are.”
The green-robed elder exhaled in relief and quickly handed over a glowing stone.
The stone landed in Xuanyuan Moxie’s hand. Just as he was about to activate it, an elder from the Heavenly Dao Palace rushed in, flustered!
“Palace Lord, something has happened!”
In an instant, Xuanyuan Moxie set the stone down, his voice icy. “Who permitted you to barge in recklessly?”
The elder immediately fell to his knees, his voice quivering with urgency. “Palace Lord, the Prophecy Pavilion in White Valley City—everyone there has been killed!”
“The methods used were unbelievably brutal! Not a single survivor remains!”
The Prophecy Pavilion was one of the Heavenly Dao Palace’s assets.
And White Valley City was a significant city among many others!
This was undoubtedly a grave matter!
Xuanyuan Moxie’s eyes held hidden fury, burning with rage. “Investigate! I want to know who is responsible!”
“To dare annihilate the Prophecy Pavilion—does someone take the Heavenly Dao Palace for mere decoration?”
This incident reminded him of that youth named Pangu!
Yet, so much time had passed, and still, there had been no sign of this Pangu figure.
The elder withdrew.
Xuanyuan Moxie paused for several seconds, intending to activate the stone to view the Divine Light Ceremony scenes.
But suddenly, celestial phenomena began to unfold!
Cold Poison City.
This place, with yin-heavy skies and malevolent ground, was a deathly peril where horrifying poisonous beasts roamed rampant.
