Xiantu Empire, Xiantu City.
The city was far smaller than Clear Divine City, comparable to Xuanwu City, yet it possessed a hundred times the elegance and feeling of an immortal location. There were no forces headquarter within this city besides the Xiantu Empire's. There were only a few liaisons of select forces that housed themselves here.
Despite being claimed as a city, it was more so a large immortal palace that stood high to the point the highest tower within caressed the sky itself. This tower was the location of the Xiantu Emperor's throne. It represented the sovereign symbol of an entire realm. No other building in the entire realm could reach such heights! If done, it was the same as attempting to supplant the Xiantu Regime!
Within this very tower was a man that emanated the aura of the heavens. He had a face that could be deemed the definition of extraordinary looks with long-flowing blonde hair and azure eyes. If one looked closely, he had traits similar to Yan Qiu and many other Yan Clan members. The very reason was that the Broad Creed Palace was related to him by blood!
Indeed, not only did all the Heavenly Genesis Experts within the Palace had his Mortal Dao, but they had some relation to him by blood. This was speculated by many, but others weren't truly sure of this matter. However, the Xiantu Emperor doesn't consider them to be his subordinates, and that was because of this.
A man that seemed to be in his 50's arrived silently within the tower, he kneeled in front of the Xiantu Emperor with practiced movements. He didn't speak, only waited patiently for the Emperor to do so first.
The Xiantu Emperor silently gazed at this man, his azure eyes filled with a rare wariness, as if he was worried about the news being brought. ”Speak.”
”Your Majesty, The Infernal Forger soul is dead. The Hell Altar, which has two-floors, is completely drained of essence and its materials are useless. It seemed that, as you calculated, the Infernal Forger was dead. You were right, as always, Your Majesty.” The man spoke reverently.
”...” The Xiantu Emperor didn't smile, but deep within his eyes was relief. It may seem that a second-floor Hell Altar and second-floor Heavenly Shrine could be considered equal, but that's not the case. Currently, comprehension of his conceptual law reached the major-success of the Manifestation-level, but Infernal Forgers of the Hell Path needed the Sovereign-level of their concept, and it's the always the upper-tier World Law of the Soul.
Unfortunately, the Xiantu Emperor had only mastered a lower-tier World Law. If one compared, his strength would be vastly inferior to an Infernal Forger of the same level. Therefore, he had massive fears that the Asura Phantom Realm was a plot to revive the remnant soul of an Infernal Forger. If so, then his actions and incompetence had threatened the entirety of his realm. Even the neighboring realms.
However, it seems that wasn't the case.
”Salvage whatever you can from the altar. You may go,” he ordered. The old man vanished from his sight as if he was never there.
Looking out of an opening in his tower that revealed the view of the clouds and vast lands that he held sovereignty over, his eyes flickered. ”Just a little more...I'll be able to construct my third floor.”
If one reached the minor-success stage of their conceptual law, they could use it to build the base for their first-floor. Major-success for the second-floor and Perfection stage for the third-floor. For the Xiantu Emperor, he felt like he was on the cusp of finally reaching the Perfection stage, if so, his status within this heaven will undergo a high shift.

Clear Divine City, Outskirts.
A piercing sound resounded with a faint trace of silver light. The surrounding space rippled as if someone pierced into the ocean with a spear and from the center of this ripple, two men phased into existence from empty space.
