Chapter 416: 416 Heavenly Court
In the Sky Ruins, countless spatial rifts existed, which posed a significant danger to cultivators below the Nascent Soul level. However, for Celestial Beings, who have spiritual treasures that protect their bodies, if they take caution, these spatial rifts pose no problem.
Some of them were merely empty rifts that contained nothing.
Some others sheltered fragments of broken spaces, like the one where Gu Yang had discovered the corpse of the Candle Dragon, which was hidden within a particular spatial rift.
Now, Gu Yang encountered an extremely rare occurrence; this spatial rift led to another world.
A desolate, silent world.
Gazing across, it was an endless desert that extended to the horizon, devoid of any living creatures. Forget about animals, there weren’t even any signs of plant life.
He could not sense any moisture, and the air was incredibly thin, while the temperature had reached several hundred degrees.
This was certainly not a world suitable for ordinary people to live in.
Only those cultivators with high cultivation levels could make a brief stopover here.
The golden light that had pushed its way in earlier had disappeared.
Gu Yang raised his head and peered into the distance, faintly seeing a cluster of magnificent golden palaces floating in the sky.
He took to the air, arriving in front of a massive heavenly gate in no time.
Suddenly, he came to a halt.
The palace cluster in front of him far surpassed the imperial palace of Divine City in both scale and style. It was probably an Immortal Palace.
A strong Prohibition was set at the entrance.
The moment he approached, he felt an intense threat and stopped.
Gu Yang suddenly retrieved the Human Emperor Sword from his Beast-taming Space, and communicated with the Primordial Spirit inside the sword with his thoughts, “Senior, do you know where this is?”
The voice of the Primordial Spirit from inside the sword echoed in his mind, “This is the Heaven Realm built by that traitor, the Gold Emperor. Humph, back then, he sought the Great Dao of eternal life wholeheartedly, but in the end, it all came to nothing.”
Gu Yang became interested in the Gold Emperor, the third-generation Human Emperor. However, he still asked, “What about the Gold Emperor’s Jade Book in the Golden Court?”
The Primordial Spirit explained, “That’s just his experimental field. The initial form of the Heaven Realm, he abandoned it when he realized that the pocket universe was unable to carry the power of a Golden Immortal, and then he set out for a higher-order world. That is here, the Heaven Realm.”
His eyes brightened, “So this means that this is the highest level world among the Thirty-Three Heavens apart from the three major Heavenly Worlds? How did it end up in this state?”
The known Thirty-Three Heavens were divided into four levels: Pocket Universe, Heaven, Realm, Heavenly World.
It was his first time arriving at an Immortal Realm that belonged to the “Realm” level.
However, even the lowest level pocket universe could be preserved, so how could this place become a death region?
The Primordial Spirit of the Human Emperor Sword replied indifferently, “The Gold Emperor, along with his followers, has already marched into the Heavenly World. Those who stayed behind couldn’t survive the great catastrophe, it’s not surprising.”
In this case, the Gold Emperor seemed to be a formidable person, having managed to seize all authority of a Heavenly World.
Gu Yang knew too little about the ancient era, especially about those top-tier figures. He only knew of the Monster Race’s Emperor Phoenix, and now he learned another name, the Gold Emperor.
It appeared that the strength and prestige of the Gold Emperor should be higher than those of the Phoenix.
He said with some regret, “Pity, I can’t get in.”
Only moments ago, when he approached, the Prohibition of this Immortal Palace started reacting, and it was on the verge of becoming activated at any moment.
This place doesn’t seem to welcome him much.
In retrospect, it should be due to the Human Emperor Sword.
The Human Emperor Sword treats the Gold Emperor as a traitor, and it’s highly likely that the Gold Emperor also holds hostile feelings towards the Human Emperor Sword.
The perfectly preserved Immortal Palace was right before him, yet he could not go in; it was truly frustrating.
Who knows how many treasures were hidden inside?
The Primordial Spirit of the Human Emperor Sword declared, “That may not be the case.”
Upon hearing that there might be a chance, Gu Yang instantly asked, “Oh, could senior please instruct me?”
