153: Chapter 153 The Truth Behind the Mystery of the Immortal Realm

After Cao Yang returned to the attic of the Heavenly Emperor Hall, he leaned back in his chair and began to ponder.

He gently closed his eyes, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and whispered, "Xiao Wu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Wu's figure instantly appeared before Cao Yang, and she said respectfully, "Master, I am here!"

Cao Yang nodded and then slowly spoke, "Issue the first heavenly emperors token to the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Domain as follows: First, Xuanyang City is renamed the Heavenly Court, including the Heavenly Emperor Hall and the ninety-nine Empress Palaces; second, the Heavenly Court will establish the Heavenly Court Academy, where any living being can enter to study; third, the Heavenly Court will establish a Merit Pavilion, where completing tasks earns Merit Points that can be exchanged for resources;..."

Then, Cao Yang added, "Well, that's all for the first heavenly emperors token. Besides that, popularize our Heavenly Court's current members, their cultivation base, cultivation Ranks, and Cultivation Technique Ranks to the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Domain. Aside from us, the Heavenly Court also has three thousand Divine Lords, one hundred thousand Heavenly Gods, and one million True Gods."

Cao Yang slowly finished his instructions and then looked at Tu Wu, waiting for her response.

Tu Wu replied respectfully, "Understood, Master. I will immediately use the Heavenly Dao to issue your heavenly emperors token."

Cao Yang nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "Mm, you may go now!"

Tu Wu responded and turned to leave to carry out the task Cao Yang had assigned.

Only after searching the soul of the Heavenly Dao did Cao Yang learn that the reason the Immortal Realm was so weak that even an Immortal Emperor could not exist was that two quadrillion years ago, the current Forbidden Ground—the Endless Black Hole Abyss—suddenly and mysteriously appeared in the Immortal Realm.

This event changed the fate of the Immortal Realm, plunging it into endless crisis.

Along with the appearance of this Forbidden Ground, a supreme treasure called the time tower also appeared.

This supreme treasure was identified as a top-grade holy artifact, possessing covetable power and value.

At that time, the phenomena triggered by this supreme treasure shook the entire starry sky, attracting countless experts of the God-Emperor Realm to fight for it.

Countless God Realm experts and various factions fought fiercely to seize the supreme treasure, the time tower.

This fierce battle caused the starry sky to shatter, and countless Middle Thousand Worlds were smashed to pieces, turning into fragments!

Even more countless Minor Thousand Worlds were obliterated and disappeared because of this!

The Immortal Realm also suffered a severe blow, becoming broken and battered.

If it weren't for the existence of the Endless Black Hole Abyss, whose aura protected the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm might have long since ceased to exist.

However, because this struggle led to the fall of a large number of God Realm experts, and even three God Emperors unfortunately lost their lives, it also caused great destruction to the Divine Realm.

Facing such heavy losses, the various factions finally reached an agreement to prohibit God Emperors from taking action again and restricted Divine Venerables and God Sovereigns from shattering Middle Thousand Worlds at will.

In this way, the Immortal Realm managed to temporarily survive under the protection of the Endless Black Hole Abyss, but its strength was greatly weakened.

After countless years of fighting, when all factions were exhausted and lax, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm took advantage of the situation.

The Heavenly Dao sacrificed the power of the many experts in the Immortal Realm and managed to seize the time tower from the hands of countless God Realm experts with great difficulty.

Since then, he had hidden inside the time tower to Cultivate for countless years, finally successfully reaching a Breakthrough to the Divine Rank and breaking free from his original fate as the Heavenly Dao.

Subsequently, he continued to Cultivate as a semi-Heavenly Dao being until he recently reached a Breakthrough to the God King level.

Originally, he already possessed the ability to shed his Heavenly Dao form and travel the ten thousand worlds as a free being, but unfortunately, he met Cao Yang.

In fact, the one who ambushed Cao Yang back then was not this Heavenly Dao, but the other half of the Heavenly Dao that attacked Cao Yang out of instinct.

In the eyes of the instinctive Heavenly Dao, Cao Yang was an outside intruder (stowaway). And the half of the Heavenly Dao killed by Cao Yang was still diligently Cultivating in the time tower at that time.

Cao Yang had indeed killed this Heavenly Dao by mistake, but if he had known that the Heavenly Dao possessed a top-grade holy artifact—the time tower—he would likely have still killed him without hesitation.

After all, any powerful expert would be tempted by such a powerful treasure.

The poor Heavenly Dao, even if he could escape from the hands of several Divine Venerables back then...

In the face of Cao Yang's Invincible Domain, even with a powerful supreme treasure like a top-grade holy artifact, he had no power to fight back.
