I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 2619 - 1196: Imperial Court Secret Realm
Chapter 2619: Chapter 1196: Imperial Court Secret Realm
In the past, Jiang Zongheng discovered a mysterious skeletal corpse in a cave in Zhao Country, and there was a jade scroll inscribed with the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture next to it, along with a small Dragon Capturing Tripod.
After Chen Mobai mastered Artifact Refining Technique, he used Stat Fire to refine this tripod, integrating it with the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Vein.
This event happened quite a while ago, so Chen Mobai didn’t recall it at first.
[We’ll discuss this matter later.]
Chen Mobai transmitted a message to Jiang Zongheng. Now that Shenxi and Da Kong were beside him, it wasn’t appropriate to delve deeply into why the tripod was showing anomalies, but one could guess it had to do with Guangwu Immortal City.
It wasn’t clear if it was due to residual power of the Eastern Emperor Court or some other reason.
Jiang Zongheng, upon hearing this, nodded silently and followed behind Chen Mobai, bringing Duan Shuyu and Jin Ling’er to the ruins above the Imperial City.
It looked like a small Immortal City, still surrounded by tall, solid city walls built with large blue stones. However, many places were covered with deep claw marks, clearly left by the Demon Tribe True Spirits that once fought over the Dragon Capturing Tripod. The walls here were even more damaged than those of Guangwu Immortal City, with one corner already collapsed.
And it was precisely because the Imperial City was breached that the world knew the Eastern Emperor Court was just strong-looking on the outside, leading to each region listening to orders but not following them, ultimately preventing the Human Emperor’s Order from leaving Guangwu Immortal City.
Shenxi led Chen Mobai and the others down toward the city gate on the east wall of the Imperial City; this city gate was one large and two small.
“Here, although most restrictions have already failed, the air-restriction spell still exists for those not of the Eastern Emperor Court lineage, so you can only enter through the gate.”
Shenxi explained, and on this side of the gate, there were some cultivators in battle armor guarding it. Among them, a golden-armored general who apparently recognized Shenxi immediately opened the gate upon seeing him. He then led his cultivators to press their right hands against their chests and salute toward them.
“This is a junior nephew from our Dao Morale Sect. After the dissolution of the Eastern Emperor Court, back then, a few of our Holy Lands took over, and with time, now it’s just our sect and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect left.”
Hearing Shenxi’s words, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but look at Da Kong True Monarch. In theory, Taixu MiaoMiao Palace should have had a share too.
“Our sect isn’t interested in these matters; we just enjoy doing business.”
Da Kong, seeing Chen Mobai’s glance, immediately understood his meaning and explained.
Taixu MiaoMiao Palace had already set up the Commerce Association in East Continent during the Eastern Emperor Court period and had made some promises with the Human Emperor back then, which they still adhere to. However, for them, it’s quite satisfying this way.
As they spoke, they had already passed through the gate and entered the interior of the Imperial City.
What greeted their eyes was a group of resplendent, magnificent palaces. Shenxi led them towards the central great hall. The roofs with glazed tiles glittered with golden light under the sun, and Chen Mobai, listening with Echoes in the Void, heard powerful restrictions yet to dissipate, still maintaining a Rank-5 level.
It was imaginable how powerful the Eastern Emperor Court was at its peak.
“East Heaven Palace”!
Chen Mobai couldn’t help but read out loud as he looked at the plaque hanging on the great hall.
“This was where the Human Emperor worked. There’s actually a hidden secret realm world here, similar to the shipyard factory over at Wandering Mountain back then…”
Shenxi continued introducing, of course not mentioning that this small world had hidden the vast majority of the Eastern Emperor Court’s essence, divided among several Holy Lands in ancient times.
Only some broken, valueless things were left here, like the Rank-5 Puppet Golden Armored Celestial.
Chen Mobai stepped inside the hall, walking through the spacious area supported by crimson pillars, gazing at the walls depicting landscapes and successive Human Emperors, arriving before the throne at the center.
Shenxi took out a Talisman, and Chen Mobai couldn’t help but twitch his brows, as he felt a sense of threat from the Talisman.
This was a Sixth Rank Spirit Talisman.
And it was different from the one Shenxi had used against the old Flood Dragon back then.
It could only be said that the foundation of the Ancient Sacred Land was profound.
While Chen Mobai marveled in his heart, Shenxi had already activated the Spirit Talisman, and suddenly everything before their eyes changed.
The exquisite tiles they stood on became soft soil, and the walls on both sides disappeared, turning into a spacious, fragrant place, seemingly a garden. Looking around, colorful fresh flowers bloomed across the land, with scattered pavilions and towers in the distance, streams flowing around those structures, as if arriving at a mortal paradise.
“The Golden Armored Celestial represents the essence left by the most powerful generations of the Human Emperor of the Eastern Emperor Court, to protect future descendants. Only those of royal blood and cultivators of the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture can activate it…”
As Shenxi spoke, the Spirit Talisman in his hand flew out, transforming into a golden True Dragon, exhaling towards the earth.
Rumble!
As the dragon breathed, the ground suddenly trembled. Then, three humanoid puppets clad in golden armor emerged, half-kneeling towards the True Dragon in the sky.
“The Talisman in my hand is the Six Dragons Talisman, capable of mimicking the aura of the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture, allowing access to various secret realm strongholds within the Eastern Emperor Court.”
