Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 735 - 729: Nine Heavens_1

"Many thanks, Venerable One!" Standing in the Celestial Pond, the six Saint Heirs of the All Clans knelt. Feeling the immense power, their faces lit up with excitement as they respectfully offered their thanks.

At the same time, they heaved a long sigh of relief in their hearts. Wonderful! There was no need to face the Qin Dynasty's geniuses immediately!

Above the starry sky, no voice came down; evidently, the Venerable One who had bestowed the Celestial Pond had already departed.

After ten breaths, the six Saint Heirs rose. Without a word, they each found an area, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate their Cultivation Techniques, entering reclusive cultivation.

They planned to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm within the next year. Only then would they emerge to slay the Qin Dynasty's geniuses.

Time was exceedingly short, allowing not a moment's waste.

And so, with no geniuses making a move, the Red Dragon Starfield fell silent.

"What's going on?"

Have the geniuses of the All Clans been frightened into submission?

Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba, hovering in the air, waited for some time. When no geniuses from the All Clans appeared, their brows furrowed slightly. They hadn't had their fill of fighting yet!

"The Star Gate hasn't vanished, which means the geniuses from the Middle Thousand Worlds haven't given up!" Lv Bu declared coldly, stepping onto the battlefield and gazing at the Star Gate that towered to the heavens, a defiant glint in his eyes.

"Let's wait another half a quarter of an hour. If no one comes out, we'll return to cultivate!" Zhao Yun announced, his voice firm, though he too was somewhat unsure of the situation. If their enemies didn't appear, they couldn't just wait there indefinitely. That time would be better spent on cultivation, enhancing their strength for the next inevitable challenge from the geniuses of the All Clans.

Li Yuanba and Lv Bu nodded in agreement.

Half a quarter of an hour later, with still no sign of the All Clans' geniuses entering the battlefield, the three waited no longer. They flew into the Great Wall, found the injured Luo Yi, took out the jade tablets for the Celestial Pond, injected Spiritual Energy, and vanished into thin air.

With their departure, a stir went through the crowd of onlookers, especially the powerful beings of the All Clans, whose faces were etched with confusion. This shouldn't be! After suffering such a devastating loss, were they simply going to let it slide?

"HEH HEH HEH..." a demonic entity, hidden within Demonic Qi, cackled maliciously. "Could it be your geniuses lost their nerve? Too scared to fight, are they?"

"Impossible!"

"Throughout countless years of struggle against the Human Race, our clans have never known cowardice!"

"Silence your filthy mouth, demon, or I'll rip it apart! Less than half a year has passed, what's your hurry?"

Hearing the demon's taunts, the powerful beings of the All Clans erupted in fury, their eyes blazing with ferocity as they harshly retorted. Some of the more hot-tempered ones had already drawn their weapons, their imposing auras surging as killing intent soared, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Hmph!" Seeing he had provoked widespread anger, the demon dared not say more. Riding his Demon Cloud, he turned and fled.

「...The Ninth Heavenly Realm!」

The highest of the myriad heavens, known as the Land of Dao Inquiry, possessed limitless resources. It was a land contested by various hegemonic powers; whoever controlled more territory held greater sway.

Overall, the Ninth Heavenly Realm was divided into four continents, situated at the four cardinal points, revolving around a vast, boundless expanse of Chaos.

These four continents were the East Victorious Divine State, the West Teaching Sacred State, the South Demon State, and the Northern Emperor Dao State.

The headquarters of the 'Pavilion of All Clans' was located in the central region of the Northern Emperor Dao State. It covered an immense area, spanning billions of li, vast enough to contain a Small Thousand World. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Countless brilliantly lit structures stood in orderly, aesthetically pleasing arrangements.

Innumerable powerful beings moved through the building complexes.

As far as the eye could see, the weakest among them were Golden Immortals.

Even Daluo Golden Immortals, figures revered by the inhabitants of the Middle Thousand Worlds, were numerous.

From time to time, the supreme auras of Immortal Kings and even stronger entities would flash past, filling all beings with envy.

Among the building complexes rose a tower that pierced the clouds, like a pillar supporting the Northern Emperor Dao State. It scattered boundless Dao principles and was covered in infinite Dao runes, enveloping the eight wildernesses and six directions.

At the tower's apex, within a hall spanning over a thousand zhang, dozens of powerful beings from the All Clans, transformed into their Dao bodies, were shrouded in endless grand Dao precepts, their faces obscured, appearing supremely divine.

They sat upon their seats, exuding a vast pressure, like a series of suns rising into the sky.

It was as if one could witness three thousand grand Dao revolving, their momentum majestic, their presence boundless.

"The investigation into the origins of the Qin Heavenly Court, what is its status?" one of the powerful beings inquired.

As his voice spread, golden lotuses materialized, wreathed in immeasurable Dao principles and laws, as if countless worlds were cycling through birth and death, destruction and rebirth.

A single word, a single sentence, constituted a cycle of creation.

"The investigation is complete. This nation ascended from the 'Mortal World' three years ago!"

"'The Qin Heavenly Court' originated from the Primitive Continent and possesses a history of one hundred thousand years. Its dozens of preceding generations of kings were unremarkable. It wasn't until Qin Wudao became the monarch that the Qin Dynasty began its rapid development!"

"In a mere thirty years, it has unified its world, starting from a minor nation in the Mortal World!"

"However..." another voice interjected. The powerful being seated to the side frowned slightly and spoke with uncertainty, "A few days ago, I visited the 'Mortal World'. Using a Divine Skill of Fate to invoke the power of retrospection, I discovered that the Primitive Continent was destroyed in a great war!"

"Just as I attempted to trace back the events of that battle, I was repelled by an overwhelming force. Vaguely, however, I heard a single word: 'Hou'!"

Hearing this, the other powerful beings raised their eyebrows, slightly astonished.

They knew the speaker's capabilities. In the art of divination alone, he ranked among the top five in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, and he had even comprehended a Divine Skill of Fate. At full power, he could trace events back an entire epoch.

Such formidable ability, yet he was unable to trace an event that occurred in a mere 'Mortal World'?

Had they not heard it with their own ears, they would never have believed it.

"Hou!" 'Emperor Heaven', seated in the centermost position, muttered, his eyes suddenly constricting as if he had realized something, sheer horror gripping him. For several epochs, no living being has been able to bear the name 'Hou'! Because they cannot withstand the karmic power and the resulting demerits!

"If the Qin Heavenly Court managed to survive an encounter with him, then it must be, without a doubt, the Ziwei Emperor Star of the Human Race!" Emperor Heaven affirmed, his expression turning grave as a chilling murderous intent flared in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the murderous intent in the eyes of the other powerful beings intensified.

They did not doubt Emperor Heaven's words, for he was not only the foremost expert of the All Clans but also the leader who had guided the All Clans to prominence and suppressed the Human Race.

To the All Clans, his words were inviolable law.

"Emperor, I have already arranged for the Middle Thousand Worlds to initiate the 'Genius War' and have bestowed a Celestial Pond!" the powerful being on the far left announced, rising to his feet.

Compared to the others, his cultivation was clearly weaker. His presence among them was primarily due to his responsibility for managing the affairs of the 'Pavilion of All Clans', a position equivalent to that of a Prime Minister, wielding considerable authority.

"The Qin Heavenly Court must be eradicated!" Emperor Heaven's cold voice reverberated through the room.
