246: Chapter 246 The Ancient Heavenly Court, A Shocking Conspiracy

Above the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake.

Immortal music curled in the air.

Exquisite dancers fluttered across the lake's surface.

Their figures were graceful.

Soul-stirring.

The sounds of silk and bamboo instruments echoed incessantly.

On the surface, the grand assembly presented a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.

Inside the White Bone Great Hall on the island at the lake's center.

The atmosphere was entirely different.

Undercurrents surged.

Several supreme beings standing at the Peak of the Dark Great Realm gathered here.

They had dismissed all unnecessary personnel.

Leaving only a few absolute confidants standing by their side.

This was clearly a highly secretive meeting of giants.

Supreme Giant of the Lightless Immortal Domain, Supreme Giant, picked up the Star Wine Cup before him.

He drained the Immortal brew in one gulp.

"That war in ancient times was fought too ruthlessly."

Supreme Giant set down his wine cup.

His tone carried unconcealed contempt.

"The Origin of the Xuanhuang Great World was long ago shattered to pieces."

He let out a cold laugh.

"The Laws of heaven and earth in that wasteland are incomplete."

"It simply cannot sustain True Immortal Dao Laws."

Supreme Giant turned to look at Phoenix Extreme Heaven, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor sitting in the main seat.

"That ant from the Lower Realm named Su Xuanchen."

"He merely used a few fragments of Opportunity to forcibly inflate his combat power."

He reached a conclusion in one sentence.

"At best, he is just a Pseudo-Immortal."

"He is not worth fearing at all."

Immortal King Zai Zun sat in the last seat.

Hearing the name "Su Xuanchen," his severed arm throbbed with pain.

But he did not dare to refute Supreme Giant's words.

He could only brace himself and nod repeatedly in agreement.

Phoenix Extreme Heaven, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor, laughed loudly upon hearing this.

The laughter caused the blood-colored mist in the hall to churn violently.

"Fellow Daoist Supreme Giant is absolutely right."

A murderous light flickered in Phoenix Extreme Heaven's eyes.

"A mere Pseudo-Immortal."

He slowly raised his right hand.

His five fingers suddenly clenched into a fist.

His knuckles let out a crisp popping sound.

"If my true body were to descend."

"I could completely crush him with a casual wave of my hand!"

"Not even a trace of his Divine Soul would remain!"

Several Blood Phoenix Clan Quasi-Immortal experts standing in the hall heard this.

Their faces were full of fanaticism.

They had an absolute, blind confidence in their Ancient Ancestor's strength.

The Snow Charm Fox Queen stood to the side.

She respectfully poured wine for the several giants.

Her exquisite face was filled with submissiveness and awe.

Just as everyone was disparaging the Xuanhuang Great World.

Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace Qing Xuan set down the jade cup in his hand.

He was dressed in white.

His expression was incredibly calm.

"Phoenix Extreme Heaven."

Qing Xuan spoke slowly.

His voice wasn't loud.

But it instantly drowned out all the noise in the hall.

"You've made such a grand display today."

Qing Xuan's deep gaze looked directly at the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor.

"Sparing no effort to send out invitations and gather us all here."

His tone carried a sharpness that seemed to see through everything.

"It is definitely not to discuss a Pseudo-Immortal from the Lower Realm."

Qing Xuan lightly tapped his finger on the table.

"Speak."

"What is the purpose of this assembly?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The hall instantly fell into a dead silence.

All sounds stopped abruptly.

The two Supreme Giants, Supreme Giant and Supreme Giant, put away their casual expressions.

Their gazes focused simultaneously on the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor.

Immortal King also held his breath.

He pricked up his ears, waiting for what came next.

Everyone knew.

The main event was coming.

Phoenix Extreme Heaven met everyone's gaze.

He didn't answer immediately.

Instead, he picked up his wine cup and took a small sip.

He pondered for a moment.

The atmosphere in the hall was suppressed to the extreme.

Even the air became incredibly heavy.

Finally.

Phoenix Extreme Heaven set down his wine cup.

His lips parted slightly.

He slowly uttered four words.

"Ancient Heavenly Court."

Boom!

As soon as these four words were spoken.

It was like four world-destroying thunderclaps.

Exploding violently within the hall!

Everyone was shocked!

Those Blood Phoenix Clan Quasi-Immortal experts standing by the side trembled violently.

Their legs went weak.

They almost knelt directly on the ground.

The Snow Charm Fox Queen gasped.

Her jade hand holding the wine pot jerked.

She almost spilled the wine on the table.

Even the three high and mighty Supreme Giants—Supreme Giant, Supreme Giant, and Qing Xuan.

The moment they heard those four words.

Their expressions changed drastically!

Their previously composed faces were instantly filled with extreme wariness and gravity.

Their pupils constricted violently.

The meaning behind these four words was too terrifying.

It was a supreme shadow that weighed upon the heads of all Dark Creatures.

Immortal King Zai Zun stood up directly from his seat.

His face was full of horror.

His voice was trembling violently.

"Ancient Heavenly Court?!"

Immortal King asked in shock.

"Didn't that supreme lineage completely perish in the world-ending war at the end of the ancient era?"

He stared fixedly at Phoenix Extreme Heaven.

"Even the Heavenly Court's Foundation was ground into dust!"

"Why is this matter being brought up again?"

Phoenix Extreme Heaven looked at everyone's shocked reactions.

He was very satisfied.

"The Heavenly Court did indeed perish."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven's tone was eerie.

He threw out a shocking secret that was enough to shake the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

"But I have just obtained a definite secret."

He leaned forward slightly.

And lowered his voice.

"The core site of the Ancient Heavenly Court was not completely destroyed."

"That site is still drifting in the hidden void of the Xuanhuang Great World to this day!"

The hall fell into a dead silence once again.

Heavy breathing could be heard one after another.

The several Supreme Giants were all thoroughly moved.

Supreme Giant's hands gripped the armrests of his chair tightly.

The Immortal gold on the armrests was squeezed out of shape by him.

An extremely greedy, piercing light erupted from the depths of Supreme Giant's eyes.

The site!

The core site of the Ancient Heavenly Court!

It must contain unimaginable supreme opportunities.

That was the heritage left behind by the absolute overlord that once ruled the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Even a few scraps leaking out.

Would be enough to alarm an Immortal King.

It could even allow Supreme Giants like them to take another step forward!

To touch that legendary supreme Realm!

The Snow Charm Fox Queen stood to the side.

She suppressed the shock in her heart.

She had attained the Dao relatively late.

She only knew the basics of that ancient primordial history.

"My Lords."

The Snow Charm Fox was full of confusion.

She asked cautiously.

"Just how unbelievably powerful was that Ancient Heavenly Court back then?"

"To be able to move your Lordships so much?"

Qing Xuan turned his head.

His gaze was deep, as if piercing through the endless river of time.

"Powerful?"

Qing Xuan spoke slowly.

His tone carried a rare trace of awe.

"The Ancient Heavenly Court was once the number one power in the Xuanhuang Great World, and even the All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

He recounted that sealed history word by word.

"During the Heavenly Court's Peak."

"There were as many as twenty Heavenly Emperors suppressing various regions!"

"Every Heavenly Emperor was a stunningly brilliant Supreme Immortal King!"

Hearing this.

The Snow Charm Fox's lips parted slightly.

Her exquisite face was written with horror.

Twenty or more Immortal Kings!

Such terrifying heritage was enough to sweep through the entire current Dark Great Realm!

Qing Xuan did not stop.

He continued to throw out even more terrifying facts.

"That's not even the most frightening part."

Qing Xuan's voice was low.

"That Ancient Emperor of the Heavenly Court."

"His cultivation had completely surpassed the limit of an Immortal King."

"He touched the legendary Emperor Light Realm!"

"He alone stood at the absolute pinnacle of the entire world."

"Looking down upon the ages, unrivaled."

The Snow Charm Fox's expression changed in horror.

She took two steps back in succession.

Her face turned pale.

Emperor Light Realm!

That was a taboo term that only existed in legends.

Representing absolute invincibility and destruction.

No wonder the several Supreme Giants were so wary.

Supreme Giant sat opposite.

Hearing Qing Xuan's high praise of the Ancient Emperor.

He felt extremely displeased.

"Hmph!"

Supreme Giant let out a disdainful cold laugh.

His face was full of arrogance.

"So what if that Ancient Emperor was strong?"

Supreme Giant sneered.

"Wasn't he still heavily wounded by the joint efforts of the various sages of our Dark Great Realm!"

He mocked loudly.

"In that battle back then, his Divine Soul was shattered."

"He was directly struck into the deepest part of the Boundary Sea!"

Supreme Giant picked up his wine cup.

"In a place like the Boundary Sea, even an Immortal King would die upon entering."

"That Ancient Emperor has long since turned into a pile of withered bones!"

"What is there to fear!"

Qing Xuan nodded slightly.

He did not refute Supreme Giant's words.

"Fellow Daoist Supreme Giant is right."

Qing Xuan agreed.

"Back then, the first-generation ancestor of my Immortal Palace also personally participated in that shocking battle to besiege the Ancient Emperor."

He paused.

Another peerless figure appeared in his mind.

"However."

Qing Xuan's eyes became extremely complex.

"Although the Ancient Emperor is dead."

"That Empress of the Ancient Heavenly Court was even more stunningly brilliant to the extreme."

He recalled the tragic battle situation of those years.

"When the Heavenly Court collapsed."

"As a woman, she stood alone against the ages."

"She once fought three of our Realm's Immortal Kings single-handedly!"

Qing Xuan took a deep breath.

"And, she remained undefeated!"

He did not hide his emotions.

"Even though she was from the enemy camp."

"I still feel admiration for her."

"It's just a pity that she was ultimately tainted by darkness and met a miserable end."

"It's truly a shame."

Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor Phoenix Extreme Heaven heard the word "Empress."

He subconsciously touched his chest.

There was an old scar there that was deep enough to see the bone.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan is absolutely right."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven also sighed repeatedly.

A trace of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.

"Back then, I had just entered the King Realm."

"I had a brief encounter with that Empress."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven gave a bitter laugh.

"I almost died under her peerless sword strike."

He pointed to his chest.

"To this day, the scar from that sword wound still cannot be erased."

"That domineering Sword Intent still remains within my bones and blood."

Hearing the two giants' high praise for the Empress.

Supreme Giant seemed extremely indifferent.

He waved his hand.

His face was full of disdain.

"Why must you two fellow Daoists boost others' morale and diminish our own?"

Supreme Giant snorted coldly.

"No matter how brilliant that Empress was, or how glorious the Heavenly Court was."

"They have completely perished now!"

He picked up his wine cup, his tone arrogant.

"The current Xuanhuang Great World is nothing more than a broken pile of trash."

"The Laws of heaven and earth are ruined to the extreme."

"It's difficult for even a single True Immortal to be born again."

Supreme Giant drained the wine in his cup.

"Such a wasteland is simply not worthy of our wariness."

Seeing this, Immortal King Zai Zun.

He immediately keenly captured an Opportunity to flatter.

He hurriedly stood up.

His face was full of smiles.

He took the Opportunity to interject.

"Lord Supreme Giant is absolutely right!"

Immortal King agreed loudly.

"Times have changed, and the world has transformed."

He picked up his wine cup and toasted the several giants repeatedly.

"During that great war back then, your Lordships were only ordinary Immortal Kings."

Immortal King smiled extremely obsequiously.

"Now that long years have passed."

"Your Lordships have long since attained profound cultivation and achieved the position of Supreme Giant!"

He flattered loudly.

"Even if that Ancient Emperor and Empress were to be resurrected, they would definitely be no match for your Lordships!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat subtle.

Supreme Giant and Supreme Giant remained expressionless on the surface.

But in their hearts, they were secretly disdainful.

They extremely looked down on Immortal King's fawning, servant-like attitude.

A dignified Immortal King had actually had his arm severed by a True Immortal from the Lower Realm.

It was simply a complete disgrace to the Immortals.

And now he still had the face to make such grand claims here.

But the two of them, mindful of their status.

Did not expose Immortal King's embarrassment on the spot.

They only gave him a cold glance.

How clever was the Snow Charm Fox Queen.

She instantly sensed the awkwardness in the hall's atmosphere.

She smiled charmingly.

With graceful steps.

She walked directly to the center of the hall.

She followed up on Immortal King's words, raising the level of flattery.

"Lord Immortal King is absolutely right."

The Snow Charm Fox's voice was charming to the bone.

She raised the jade pot in her hand and filled the Immortal brew for each giant.

"Your Lordships, the Supreme Giants, possess peerless talent and profound heritage."

Her beautiful eyes rippled with light.

"This Supreme Giant Realm is definitely not your Lordships' end point."

The Snow Charm Fox's tone was extremely certain.

"I firmly believe."

"In the future, your Lordships will surely break through the shackles."

"And touch that legendary Emperor Light Realm!"

"Becoming the true sole Dominators of these All Heavens and Myriad Realms!"

This sentence.

Completely spoke to the hearts of Supreme Giant, Supreme Giant, and Phoenix Extreme Heaven.

Emperor Light Realm!

That was the ultimate goal they pursued throughout their lives.

The Snow Charm Fox's flattery was extremely sophisticated.

It made one feel comfortable all over.

Every pore on their bodies seemed to open up.

Hearing this, Supreme Giant Supreme Giant.

He laughed loudly.

His mood instantly improved.

His gaze toward the Snow Charm Fox was full of appreciation.

"Hahahaha!"

Supreme Giant laughed repeatedly.

He praised the Snow Charm Fox greatly.

"The Snow Charm Fox Queen not only has peerless beauty, but her wit and vision are also extraordinary!"

Supreme Giant was not stingy with his praise.

He saw through the depths of the Snow Charm Fox's cultivation at a glance.

"I see that your aura is harmonious and your Laws are restrained."

"Presumably, you are only one step away from breaking through to become a true Immortal King!"

He declared loudly.

"Within ten thousand years, my Dark Great Realm will surely add another peerless queen!"

Hearing this extremely high evaluation.

She was ecstatic in her heart.

But on the surface, she still maintained absolute composure and elegance.

She bowed slightly.

Her etiquette was impeccable.

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Supreme Giant."

The Snow Charm Fox thanked him calmly.

She picked up her own wine cup.

"I offer this toast to all your Lordships, the Supreme Giants!"

"Good!"

Phoenix Extreme Heaven shouted.

He was the first to raise his cup.

Supreme Giant, Supreme Giant, and Qing Xuan also raised their wine cups one after another.

Immortal King hurriedly followed suit.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became lively to the extreme.

Everyone drank heartily and laughed.

They toasted one another.

The fragrance of the Immortal brew filled the hall.

Amidst this merry drinking and clinking of glasses.

A shocking conspiracy directed at the Xuanhuang Great World.

And at the core site of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Quietly set its tone in this cheerful conversation.
