Wu Shattered Star River

The Celestial Court was not a realm, but rather constructed upon a massive void-stone.

It was said that this void-stone was a remnant from when the Goddess Nüwa mended the heavens, and was named the Nüwa Stone.

This Nüwa Stone was cone-shaped, covering a million li in circumference.

This void-stone was no ordinary void-stone; it was said that it had been refined by the Goddess Nüwa herself, possessing supreme magical power.

The Nüwa Stone could autonomously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so the spiritual energy near the void-stone was incredibly dense.

After the Celestial Court was established, the Jade Emperor, overcoming all objections, built the Celestial Court upon the Nüwa Stone.

Because the Nüwa Stone was cone-shaped, the buildings above were layered, a total of thirty-three layers, also known as the Thirty-Three Heavens.

After millions of years of continuous renovation, the Nüwa Stone now contained thousands of palaces and myriad structures, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could see.

Because the spiritual energy inside was too dense, it was perpetually filled with immortal Qi, making one feel like an immortal while walking within.

The entire Nüwa Stone was constructed with powerful arrays, and apart from the four Celestial Gates, there was no other way to enter.

South Celestial Gate!

Here, there was a massive plaza, garrisoned by an army of ten thousand, guarded by a Celestial King, who was conferred the title of Curtain-Rolling General.

“Buzz~”

There were many teleportation arrays on the plaza of the South Celestial Gate.

At this moment, one of the teleportation arrays lit up, and two figures appeared here.

One of the two figures was clad in a yellow Daoist robe, while the other wore a long black robe and was an ordinary-looking young man, whose cultivation level seemed low.

“Greetings, Daoist Venerable Huang Qi!”

The man in the yellow Daoist robe seemed to be very famous, as soldiers recognized him and took the initiative to salute.

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi nodded, took out a jade slip, and after the guarding commander, a Celestial Venerable, examined it, his gaze turned to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han took out a jade slip, which the Celestial Emperor of Longevity had given him.

After the commander examined it, he nodded and said, “Pardon the intrusion, please enter the South Celestial Gate, both of you.”

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi led Jiang Han towards the South Celestial Gate.

Though called a Celestial Gate, there was no actual gate, only emptiness.

However, the stone pillars were constructed with great majesty, fully displaying the grandeur of the Celestial Court.

As Daoist Venerable Huang Qi and Jiang Han walked into the South Celestial Gate, the gate suddenly lit up, and a ray of light enveloped Jiang Han.

“Shua shua shua~”

Countless soldiers immediately turned their heads, and a chilling intent appeared in the eyes of the three Celestial Venerables.

A Celestial King shot out from a nearby castle.

Jiang Han had used the Myriad Transformations technique to disguise his appearance, but he did not expect that when passing through the South Celestial Gate, it would be activated, and a ray of light would cover him, revealing his true form.

Jiang Han's true appearance was discovered by many soldiers.

The Celestial King and several Celestial Venerables all noticed, and their faces showed astonishment, followed by a sense of helplessness.

Jiang Han had come to the Celestial Court!

The South Celestial Gate was not an ordinary gate, but a unique treasure that could detect all disguises, to prevent spies and foreign races from infiltrating the Celestial Court.

Jiang Han had disguised his appearance, but the South Celestial Gate had detected him, but the group of soldiers did not know how to handle it.

Arrest Jiang Han?

The Jade Emperor had not explicitly declared Jiang Henshui and Jiang Han as traitors, and the Celestial Court had not publicly wanted them, father and son.

Most importantly…

Jiang Han's actions during this time were known to everyone in the Celestial Court.

Now, the soldiers of the Great Forgetfulness Realm had all withdrawn to the Celestial Court.

Jiang Han's withdrawal seemed reasonable?

However, Jiang Han had, after all, killed Zhang Xiongwen, and publicly slapped the Jade Emperor's face.

If Jiang Han was allowed to enter the Celestial Court, they could not bear the blame if the Jade Emperor were to punish them later.

Just as the Celestial King guarding the South Celestial Gate hesitated, Daoist Venerable Huang Qi spoke, “Brother Jiang is under the orders of the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei to go to the Qintian Palace to carry out urgent military affairs, how… do you intend to stop us?”

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi's words made the Celestial King and several Celestial Venerables breathe a sigh of relief.

They did not want to make things difficult for Jiang Han either.

Besides… even if they wanted to make things difficult, could they beat Jiang Han?

If the matter escalated, and they angered the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei and the Celestial Emperor of Longevity, they would not have a good outcome.

Since Daoist Venerable Huang Qi had said so, and made it clear that he was taking Jiang Han to the Qintian Palace, then it was fine.

In any case, the Qintian Palace would be responsible if anything happened.

The Celestial King waved his hand, and Daoist Venerable Huang Qi led Jiang Han inside.

The Celestial King hesitated for a moment, summoned two of his subordinates, and told them to immediately report to the Heavenly Punishment Palace and the Holy Mother Palace.

Although the Qintian Palace had taken over the responsibility, he would still bear a great responsibility if he did not report it.

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi did not take Jiang Han to tour the Celestial Court, but walked upwards all the way, directly to the Thirty-First Heaven.

The Celestial Court had thirty-three layers, the uppermost layer being the residence of the Jade Emperor, and the thirty-second layer being the residence of the Ten Celestial Emperors.

The thirty-first layer was the location of various palace departments, such as the Qintian Palace, the Heavenly Punishment Palace, the Demon Suppression Palace, etc…

Jiang Han did not even have time to properly see the Celestial Court before being taken to the thirty-first layer.

In a hurried glance, he saw thousands of palaces, layered upon layers, vast and boundless, and breathtakingly beautiful.

The Qintian Palace was a huge manor, with many Daoist temples built inside, and many disciples walking around, wearing different Daoist robes.

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi's status was extraordinary, and many disciples saluted him after he entered.

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi brought Jiang Han to a Daoist temple in the backyard and said, “Brother Jiang, stay here for this period of time.

It is estimated that the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei and the others will return soon.”

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi did not take Jiang Han to see the Celestial Dao Venerable.

What he said to the Curtain-Rolling General was a lie.

He was only acting on the orders of the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei to bring Jiang Han to the Qintian Palace for placement.

He did this not only because of the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei!

Previously, when the Heavenly Demon Celestial Emperor and Jiang Han entered the realm, their Qintian Palace issued a warning, and when he went to ask the Celestial Dao Venerable for instructions, the latter hinted that he should turn a blind eye.

So he guessed that the Celestial Dao Venerable's position should be neutral, or even leaning towards the Azure Emperor's lineage, which was why his attitude towards Jiang Han was so good.

Jiang Han thanked him politely, and Daoist Venerable Huang Qi was about to leave when a voice transmission suddenly sounded in his ear: “Little Qi, since there is a guest at the door, why not bring him to pay respects to your teacher?”

“Uh!”

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi was stunned.

The Celestial Dao Venerable was drunk all day long, but he actually discovered that Jiang Han had come?

And he actually took the initiative to ask to see Jiang Han?

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi was very clear about his teacher's temper.

Not to mention the sons of ordinary Celestial Emperors, even if a Celestial Emperor came to visit him, he might not see him.

He might even pretend to be drunk and disobey the Jade Emperor's decree.

Now he actually wanted to see Jiang Han?

“Master is indeed on the Azure Emperor's side!”

Daoist Venerable Huang Qi's heart shuddered, and then he said to Jiang Han, “Brother Jiang, Master wants to see you, please come with me.”

“Ah?”

Jiang Han was also stunned.

Although he did not know much about the Celestial Dao Venerable, this person was able to become the Palace Master of the Qintian Palace, his status was extraordinary, probably above some Celestial Emperors.

Moreover, this person's combat power was said to be unfathomable.

Some rumors said that his combat power was above the Celestial Emperor of Longevity, and similar to the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei…

However, how strong the Celestial Dao Venerable's combat power really was, probably few people knew except for the Jade Emperor, the Azure Emperor, and the Celestial Emperor of Ziwei.

Because this person had never publicly taken action, even in the Battle of Establishment he did not take action.

Jiang Han's heart was a little uneasy.

After all, this was the Celestial Court, who knew which side the Celestial Dao Venerable leaned towards?

What if he was captured as soon as they met, and he couldn't even struggle…
