Chapter 417: The Response of the Factions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Originally, the Heavenly Emperor planned to announce the appearance of the Heavenly Palace after healing the remnant souls of all the True God Stage experts. However, these demon experts who had entered the Divine Realm by mistake made the Heavenly Emperor change his mind.
In any case, besides Qin Jue, there was no one in the Inner Realm who could threaten the Heavenly Palace, so there was no need to continue hiding it.
Therefore, the news of the Heavenly Palace appearing in the Divine Realm quickly swept through the entire void, causing a huge uproar!
This was especially true for the higher-ups of the various factions. The moment they received the news, they were all dumbfounded and could hardly believe their ears.
One had to know that even to the three True God Stage experts of the White Dragon Race, the Demon Race, and the Martial Sacred Hall, the Heavenly Palace was still a legendary existence that they had never come into contact with.
Most importantly, hadn’t the Heavenly Palace been destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago? How did it suddenly get revived?
In an instant, countless factions sent envoys to the Divine Realm to investigate.
After all, if the Heavenly Palace really was revived, it would be enough to overturn the entire situation in the Inner Realm!
At this moment, on the continent closest to the Divine Realm, experts from all over had gathered here. There were all types of cultivators mixed together, and it could be said to be unprecedentedly prosperous. Moreover, battles between enemies would occur from time to time, and it was extremely horrifying.
“Cough cough, do you guys think that the news of the Heavenly Palace’s appearance is true?”
In the restaurant, the tall man set up a barrier and whispered.
“I’m not sure. It seems like a group of Demon Race envoys accidentally barged into the Divine Realm and discovered the Heavenly Palace. As for the exact situation, I’m afraid only the internal members of the Demon Race know.”
Another man shook his head.
The news of the Heavenly Palace’s appearance was first spread out from the Demon Race, but the Demon Race did not announce the entire process in detail, so many forces did not know the exact situation.
Otherwise, there was no need for them to specially send envoys to the Divine Realm to investigate.
“The Divine Realm opens once every 300 years. The rest of the time, it’s in a sealed state. Could the Demon Race be making up a story?”
At that moment, a short-haired woman frowned.
There were a total of four people at the table, two men and two women. All of them had reached the sixth realm of the Great Void Stage or above. Among them, the tall man was even at the seventh realm of the Great Void Stage. When the surrounding cultivators saw their clothes, they all tactfully retreated and did not dare to approach.
The reason was very simple. These four people were from the Martial Sacred Hall.
Although the Martial Sacred Hall had suffered heavy losses because of Qin Jue and had no choice but to retract their forces, it was still one of the three top factions in this void. No matter where they went, they were not people ordinary cultivators could offend.
“That’s a possibility.”
The tall man nodded slightly. “The Divine Realm only opens once every 300 years. During this time, even the Hall Master is helpless. How could a few Demon Race envoys barge in?”
“Senior Brother, what should we do next?” The last woman asked.
“Hmm… the mission the elders gave us has to be confirmed personally. Whether it’s true or false, we’ll take the void battleship to take a look tomorrow.”
The tall man pondered for a moment and ordered.
With the cultivation of the four of them, they could actually cross the void and head to the Divine Realm on their own.
The reason why he chose to ride a void battleship was because he was afraid of being ambushed along the way.
Although they were members of the Martial Sacred Hall, it did not mean that no one would have any ideas about attacking them. If this was a plot by the Demon Race, wouldn’t they be done for?
Suddenly, waves of shouts and commotion sounded from outside the restaurant, attracting the attention of the four people.
“What’s wrong?”
The tall man removed the barrier and revealed a puzzled expression.
Because they were on the third floor, they could clearly see the scene on the street outside.
“Wow, it’s an expert from the White Dragon Race!”
“Really? Even the White Dragon Race sent people!”
“Hehe, there’s going to be a good show.”
“…”
On the street, cultivators discussed animatedly. Some were gloating, while others were filled with curiosity.
In the territory under the jurisdiction of the Martial God Hall, most human martial artists hated the White Dragon Race. However, this continent was considered a neutral region, and various races lived there. Therefore, the appearance of the White Dragon Race didn’t attract any hostility. Instead, they were welcomed by Demon Race and Insect Race cultivators.
…
White Dragon Race?
The expressions of the four Martial Sacred Hall members changed slightly as they looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, they saw five experts from the White Dragon Race with vast auras walking over from afar.
The White Dragon Race expert in the lead was covered in a black robe. His spirit sense was isolated, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. The other four were all at the sixth level of the Great Void. They had slender figures and handsome faces as they followed behind the White Dragon Race expert in the lead respectfully.
“Hmph, I didn’t expect them to come.”
The short-haired woman gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes burning with anger. She wished she could immediately rush up and fight those White Dragon Race experts to the death.
“Mo Xue, we have a mission. Don’t complicate things.”
Seeing this, the tall man frowned.
“Yes.”
Taking a deep breath, the woman called Mo Xue retracted her gaze and forcefully controlled herself.
The war between the Martial Sacred Hall and the White Dragon Race had already lasted for thousands of years. During that time, countless experts had died, including Mo Xue’s parents. Therefore, she hated the White Dragon Race to the bone.
“We can’t stay here for long. Let’s go somewhere else.”
The tall man suggested to prevent Mo Xue from leaving.
Mo Xue also understood the tall man’s intentions and naturally wouldn’t refuse. Therefore, the four of them silently left the city.
However, the next day, they actually encountered those five White Dragon Race experts again. They were only on the void battleship heading to the Divine Realm.
If the tall man had not used his spirit energy to suppress Mo Xue, the two sides would have already fought.
“Hai, why did I encounter them again?”
The tall man was helpless.
“Their mission should be the same as ours. They’re going to investigate the Divine Realm.”
The man beside him made a judgment. “Looks like the White Dragon Race also cares about whether the Heavenly Palace has appeared or not.”
“Of course.”
The tall man rolled his eyes. “The White Dragon Race’s Divine Maiden has just obtained the True God Stage inheritance not long ago. If the Heavenly Palace appears, it will only benefit the White Dragon Race!”
Boom!
Just as the two of them were talking, the battleship suddenly shook violently, the world spun, and it almost collapsed!
“What happened?”
The tall man was shocked and hurriedly flew out.
“It’s a void beast. We were attacked by a void beast!”
As soon as they arrived at the deck outside the battleship, someone shouted.
“???”
The tall man was full of questions. Was there a mistake? Why were they so unlucky?
Boom!
The battleship shook again. The barrier that was enough to withstand the attack of a fifth realm Great Void Stage expert had long shattered. A crack had also been torn open on the ship, and hundreds of cultivators were swept out, almost losing their lives.
“Roar!”
In his field of vision, a huge monster appeared. Its tentacles wrapped around the entire battleship like vines, covering the sky and blocking all escape routes.
“Dammit! That’s an eighth realm Great Void Stage void beast, Nether Ghost!”
The tall man’s face was ashen. After being attacked by such a void beast, he did not even have the chance to escape.
Seeing that the battleship was about to be destroyed, white light suddenly bloomed. It instantly pierced through the void beast’s tentacles and lit up the surroundings as if it was daytime!
Immediately after, a figure slowly rose into the sky and confronted the void beast.
