"To open the Heaven Palace, you must mobilize the power of the flesh's myriad gods."
On the altar, Quinn Shepherd uses vital energy to manifest the visions of the Divine Treasuries. In the Spirit Embryo Treasury, the sun and moon rise. His voice echoes calmly throughout the auxiliary palace hall: "Spirit Embryo Treasury—Great Sun Star Lord, Lord Moonstar."
Within that treasury vision, the Five Luminaries stars light up one after another, and the Five Luminaries Star Lords stand tall atop each star.
"Five Luminaries Treasury! Earth Star Lord, Mars Star Lord, Metal Star Lord, Mercury Star Lord, Jupiter Star Lord!"
"Six Directions Treasury! Earth Mother Yuanjun, bearing the virtue of supporting all things!"
"Seven Stars Treasury! The seven stars align, seven gods unite their strength!"
"Heaven-Man Treasury! The celestial stars circle, all the star gods and Star Lords, Heaven Duke lends his power!"
"Life-and-Death Treasury! Vast is Youdu, the gods command souls, Tu Bo lends his power!"
"Divine Bridge Treasury! The Primordial Spirit stands as the god among gods!"
......
Quinn Shepherd, using vital energy to conjure visions of the Divine Treasuries, makes the radiance of each god manifest—he is borrowing the power of the ancient gods of the Heavenly Court, while the practitioner's Primordial Spirit symbolizes the Heavenly Emperor who commands all authority.
"At this stage, you borrow the Heavenly Court's might, restore the gods to their places, draw down the power of the Heavenly Court, and imprint the Heaven Palace!"
Quinn Shepherd calls out in a low voice. Within the treasury vision, each god lends their power, the strength grows ever more immense. The ancient South Heaven Gate, Jade Pool, Execution Platform, Jade Capital, High Heaven Hall, Emperor's Throne—those buildings forged by the ancient gods with their own might—now have their energies drawn forth, gradually forming a Heaven Palace before the Divine Bridge.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, the hall around them silent—no one spoke a word.
Just like that, the Heaven Palace was opened—a realm of staggering grandeur and infinite wonders appeared before them.
It was a monumental creation—a breakthrough that made mortals and gods equals!
A realm powerful enough to let them step into the age of myth!
Only after a long while did someone finally cheer: "Heaven-Guide Venerable!"
"Heaven-Guide Venerable!"
"Heaven-Guide Venerable!"
All around, people erupted into cheers, the sound shaking the heavens.
Venerable Vast-Sky stared dazedly at the scene, a shadow passing through his heart: "I could never command such devotion... If he isn't Heaven-Guide Venerable, then how does he know the God-Making Method? Could it be..."
A terrifying thought struck him, filling him with dread: "Is Heaven-Guide Venerable truly still alive? No, no—I clearly killed him myself, and Jasper Yin destroyed his soul. He can't possibly still be alive! Besides, that existence has already confirmed it—an existence that could never be wrong..."
A chill crept over him—if Heaven-Guide Venerable was still alive, why hadn't he struck back and killed him directly?
Was it because Heaven-Guide Venerable feared the existence behind him?
Or did Heaven-Guide Venerable have an even greater scheme?
There were few in this world who could truly make him wary—and Heaven-Guide Venerable was one of them.
In front of Heaven-Guide Venerable, he always felt a step lower, always felt inferior. Though he too was exceptionally gifted, every time he saw Heaven-Guide Venerable, a trace of self-doubt would creep into his heart.
So he had to kill him, had to eliminate Heaven-Guide Venerable—to destroy the god within his own heart!
And now, was this god who had once pressed him down, leaving him unable to breathe, about to return?
