Chapter 1825 The Great Realm of Mysterious Void
All the cultivators from the Nine Domains held their breath, nervously watching the direction from which the oppressive aura emanated.
Only half a day had passed.
The void was like a curtain being slowly drawn back by an invisible giant hand.
The outline of a giant ship gradually became clearer and clearer, until it was fully revealed to everyone.
Upon seeing the ship, a hint of shock flashed across everyone's eyes.
That was not any known war vehicle.
Its entire body is a warm, dark gold color, neither gold nor jade, but more like a fusion of some kind of innate immortal wood and chaotic star sand, with natural Dao patterns flowing on its surface.
The ship's hull has simple and smooth lines, without any menacing rams or cannons. The bow is a cluster of fairy palaces shrouded in clouds and mist.
There seem to be sacred springs and waterfalls in the mountains, and cranes fluttering about, exuding a supreme artistic conception of evolution and creation.
The most eye-catching feature is the sail.
It was not a physical object, but rather a mixture of auspicious cloud energy condensed to its extreme.
The aura emanating from this ship is profound, vast, and deep.
It possesses a profound charm that has been refined over countless eras.
What sank even deeper into the hearts of the people of the Nine Realms was the sight of twenty-two figures slowly emerging from the cabin that resembled the gateway to a celestial mountain.
The leader was an elderly man wearing a moon-white, wide-sleeved Taoist robe.
His Taoist robe was embroidered with a celestial chart in dark silver thread, and the stars seemed to slowly rotate with his movements.
The old man had a gaunt face, a long, snow-white beard that reached his chest, and wore an ancient-style star-shaped crown. He held a whisk with a white jade handle. He simply stood there quietly, and the Daoist aura around him blended perfectly with the surrounding void.
Mid-stage Golden Immortal!
A genuine, mid-stage Golden Immortal with an incredibly solid Dao foundation!
Standing slightly behind him was a tall, blond man.
The man was clad in magnificent golden armor, which was engraved with various symbols of order, and three pairs of wings spread out from his back.
Early stage of Golden Immortal!
Moreover, it was a Golden Immortal whose aura was pure and powerful, quite different from the old man's Xuanmen aura, yet equally vast and radiant!
Behind these two Golden Immortals stood twenty cultivators in neat rows.
Their attire varied, including Taoist robes, tight-fitting clothes, long skirts, and armor.
Without exception, their auras were all at the level of True Immortals!
Among them, three have even reached the peak of True Immortal, four are in the late stage of True Immortal, and the rest are in the early or middle stage of True Immortal.
Twenty-two beings of True Immortal rank or higher!
One mid-stage Golden Immortal, one early-stage Golden Immortal, and twenty True Immortals!
The tension in Zhang Xuan and the others was at its peak.
The Abyss of Primordial Demons? The Immortal Realm of the Three Pure Ones?
Less than two hundred years have passed. How could they have gathered such terrifying power in such a short time?
Moreover, this giant ship, this aura... are completely different from what I've seen before.
"Prepare for battle!" Jiao'er's divine sense instantly spread to all cultivators in the Nine Domains.
The spiritual energy cores of the two hundred True Immortal Puppets simultaneously emitted a dazzling light.
The Nine Luminaries Celestial Array shone brightly, the nine illusory stars rotated faster, and the invisible force field layered upon layer.
The atmosphere was tense, ready to erupt at any moment.
Jiao'er stepped forward, her icy blue eyes staring directly at the leading Golden Immortal elder. Her clear, cold voice echoed through the void, carrying the unique Daoist aura and pressure of a Golden Immortal:
"Fellow Daoist ahead, what brings you to our Nine Divine Realms? Please state your identity and purpose."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the void and reached the ears of everyone on the other side.
The old man, a mid-stage Golden Immortal, fixed his gaze on Jiao'er, a hint of undisguised surprise flashing in his eyes. Clearly, he hadn't expected that in these legendary, dilapidated Nine Divine Realms, there would actually be a Golden Immortal presiding over them, and with such a refined aura and seemingly unique Dao foundation.
He showed no hostility on his face, but instead stroked his beard and smiled, saying in a gentle voice, "Fellow Daoist, please do not misunderstand. I am Xuanweizi, the Deputy Director of the Zhou Tian Jian of the Xuanxu Great Realm. This is Immortal Lord Yuheng, from the Holy Light Divine Court."
The Mysterious Void Realm? The Celestial Observatory? The Holy Light Divine Court?
These unfamiliar names aroused suspicion in the hearts of Jiao'er, Zhang Xuan, and others.
It's neither the Three Pure Realms nor the Abyss of the Beginning Demon?
"The Great Realm of Mysterious Void?" Jiao'er repeated. "I have never heard of it. Your entourage has come from afar with a grand procession, which is probably not the proper way to visit friends."
Xuanweizi's smile remained unchanged. He gently waved his whisk, and a soft, clear light rippled outwards. It was not aggressive, but it strangely eased the tense atmosphere around him.
“It is normal that you have not heard of this, fellow Daoist. Although my Xuanxu Great Realm and the Nine Noble Divine Domains are of the same origin and were both transformed from the Nine Ancient Dragon Veins, the void is vast and they are separated by countless eons, making communication difficult.”
Nine major dragon veins? All originating from the same source?
"The dragon was born in the nine provinces, and its aura lingers among them."
Zhang Xuan was shocked. Just like the Nine Divine Realms, this Xuanxu Great Realm was actually one of the Nine Dragon Veins.
Xuanweizi continued, "As for this grand display... please excuse my rudeness, fellow Daoist. To be honest, we have traversed endless void and spent thirteen hundred years to arrive here, and we do have important matters to discuss."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the heavily armed formations of the nine divine realms, lingering particularly on the two hundred True Immortal puppets and the Nine Luminaries Formation, his eyes filled with even greater admiration.
"Your domain, with its dilapidated foundation, has been able to restore such a magnificent appearance in just a few hundred years, refine such a large number of True Immortal Dao Soldiers, and set up this protective array that has reached the ninth level... This truly makes me look at you with new eyes."
His words were calm, even flattering, but Zhang Xuan became even more wary.
"Senior Xuanweizi, you flatter me." Zhang Xuan stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiao'er, cupping his hands in greeting. "I wonder what important matter you speak of, senior? If it remains shrouded in mystery, please forgive my humble and remote Nine Regions, which dare not receive such an honored guest."
The Golden Immortal Jade Balance Immortal Lord behind Xuanweizi frowned almost imperceptibly, seemingly displeased with the vigilance of the Nine Divine Realms, but he did not utter a sound, simply standing quietly like a statue.
Xuanweizi, however, seemed completely unconcerned by the sharpness in the other's words. He sighed softly, his smile fading, replaced by a solemn expression, and slowly uttered four words:
"Sharing a common hatred against the enemy."
The same hatred?
These four words startled Jiao'er and the others.
"What do you mean by that, senior?" Zhang Xuan asked, his voice steady.
Xuanweizi glanced at everyone and said, "My Xuanxu Great Realm and your domain both originate from the Nine Dragon Veins, and our destinies... are indeed similar."
"My Xuanxu Realm, inheriting the legacy of the Xuanxu Dragon Vein, is rich in spiritual energy and abundant in resources. Since its revival after the Great Cataclysm of Antiquity, it has flourished for a long period of time and has given birth to several Golden Immortals. However... fortune and misfortune are intertwined."
"Because my realm is relatively rich and intact, in the eyes of those predators from the Three Pure Immortal Realms and the Abyss of the Primordial Demon, my Xuanxu Great Realm is a fertile land that is highly coveted. Since millions of years ago, the Immortal Alliance of the Three Pure Immortal Realms and the Demon Calamity Legion of the Abyss of the Primordial Demon have frequently invaded my realm. They either plunder resources, abduct people, or simply occupy a star field, establish outposts, and gradually erode my territory."
