1116 Celestial Venerable Lings Letter (1/2)

Western Heaven.

Endless Clouds Palace, Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. A beam of light fell down and formed the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage on the bridge.

Qin Mu walked out and examined the area. He saw the Endless Clouds Palace in ruins, with collapsing palaces dotting the area. Some of its divine gold and materials were even taken away and used. All that was left were broken walls.

It was as if someone raided the place and scraped it clean of valuables.

The current Endless Clouds Palace only had a few gods left guarding it. They had white hair and looked pale with shabby clothes. They saw Qin Mu's carriage from afar, observed it, and didn't dare to approach it.

Yan'er flew over, and those gods ran away before being caught by Yan'er and wrestled to the ground.

”Have mercy on us!” Those gods kowtowed.

Qin Mu frowned and asked, ”What happened to the Endless Clouds Palace?”

”You don't know about this, but after the last incident with the Emperor of Endless Clouds, the celestial heavens didn't send a new Emperor of Endless Clouds to protect this place. Thus, the three pillar heavens and nine prefectures went rampant and raided it countless times.”

A god with shabby clothes cried out, ”There were many brothers protecting this place originally, but they were abducted into slavery. Only the old, weak, and diseased are left. Two days ago, another group of thieves raided this place again. They found nothing and thus extracted blood from some of our brothers, claiming they needed it to refine treasures…”

Qin Mu was stunned as he asked, ”Why didn't you all report this to the celestial heavens?”

”I wouldn't dare.”

The old gods cried, ”The demon kings said that if we do, they'll kill us!”

Qin Mu didn't know what to do as he looked around from the top of the Endless Clouds Palace. He saw how the palace stood within pillar one, two, three, and the nine prefectures. One could view all of them from there.

The so-called pillar one and pillar two were pillar heavens.

Pillar heavens were worlds in pillar form. Qin Mu looked into the distance and saw three pillars above the nine prefectures. The stars coalesced, for they were heavenly pillar worlds formed from stars.

The nine prefectures of Western Heaven included East South God Prefecture, called Dawn Earth, South High Prefecture, called Deep Earth, West South Weapon Prefecture, called Flood Earth, Proper West Cover Prefecture, called Open Earth, Central God Hope Prefecture, called White Earth, West North Pillar Prefecture, called Fat Earth, North Black Prefecture, called Capable Earth, East North Salt Prefecture, called Hidden Earth, and Proper East Raise Prefecture, called Trusted Earth.

The prefectures had their own ancient gods. It was the same for the three pillar heavens. They were called the three pillar gods.

The Endless Clouds Palace was built between the three pillar heavens and nine prefectures.

In the latter age of the Dragon Han Era, the celestial heavens flew up and away from the Primordial Realm. The Dragon Han split, and the star gods and four ancient god deities left the Primordial Realm and the celestial heavens for other parts of the universe.

The four poles were the residences of the four deities, while Western Heaven, Eastern Heaven, Southern Heaven, and Northern Heaven were ruled by the White Deity, Green Deity, Red Deity, and Black Deity, respectively.

They were named the four color deities and were distinguished by their assigned colors. They were different from the four deities because they cultivated from being Postcelestial lifeforms or half-gods.

They had a lot of power and four great celestial palaces each in their hands. The Endless Clouds Palace was one of them in Western Heaven and belonged to White Deity.

From the Dragon Han Era until now, there were endless wars. The four color deities changed too. Every time one of them died in combat, Celestial Emperor would choose a strong practitioner of the Emperor's Throne Realm to replace them.

The only one not replaced was Black Deity Yin Chaojin. He was called Son of Heaven Yin and held the position of Black Deity firmly. He ruled Northern Heaven and built Mingdu.

The place the Endless Clouds Palace was at was part of Western Heaven. When combined with three other great realms, they collectively formed Western Heaven.

”It's impressive that Big Senior Brother was able to suppress twelve ancient gods alone.”
