"This is what our kind can fathom. If we could achieve this, how could our four clans have fallen to this state!"
The patriarch of the Wang clan sighed. The others shook their heads. Indeed, let alone ascending with a whole world, if even one of them could reach the Immortal Realm, the Wang family's four clans would have long ago wiped out the Hong family's four clans, and they wouldn't have ended up in their current predicament.
In the central region of the plane, upon a patch of soil, the withered tree roots unexpectedly sprouted tender green branches. They delved into the earth, and within a single breath, enveloped the entire plane. Driven by a mysterious force, their roots shifted to beneath the imperial palace's ancestral shrine in Chang'an City, suppressed by the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny. At this moment, Yang Hao's eyes were deep. He naturally sensed the change in the withered roots of the Heaven-Bearing Wood. This was all the system's doing!
This key, which once bore the hopes of all races to step into the Immortal Realm, was now revitalized and transferred beneath the Nine Caulons, becoming a force to stabilize the destiny of the Great Han Divine Dynasty!
"Roar!"
In the void, the golden five-clawed dragon of destiny roared. Its golden scales shed layer by layer, revealing new scales that seemed to embody the Great Dao itself. Utterly dominant, scales formed one by one. At this moment, the dragon of destiny let out another roar towards the heavens, opening its maw and swallowing the remnants of the Great Dao from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces plane in a single breath, an act of extreme ferocity!
"The Great Dao returns to me. From this day forward, the plane shall be born by me, and perish by me!"
Yang Hao's physique was majestic, clad in a dragon robe of supreme authority. The coronet on his head seemed to symbolize the authority of the plane, obscuring Yang Hao's face. The firmament split open, revealing a wide, dark chasm, and myriad purple divine lightning bolts raged downwards!
At this moment, Yang Hao extended his palm and gently clenched it forward. The golden dragon roared towards the heavens, its head sweeping in all directions. It opened its maw and swallowed all the purple divine lightning that descended from the chasm, crushing it to oblivion!
Having devoured the purple divine lightning, the golden scales of the dragon of destiny were adorned with a faint purple halo. The purple glow supported the heavens, and the golden light enveloped the rich earth of the Great Han.
Boom, boom, boom...!
The endless purple lightning was completely consumed by the golden dragon. The vast sky calmed down. The chasm continued to press deeper into the void, the chaotic space devoid of any color. It was unknown how many layers of space it had penetrated, or how many billions of miles it had traversed!
A white river-like substance poured forth, extending for tens of thousands of miles, piercing countless layers of space. Whatever color the space held, it paled in comparison to this white river.
"Roar!"
The golden dragon roamed the four corners of the Great Han's territory. After a full nine cycles, it suddenly looked towards the white river. It roared, and in Yang Hao's gaze, and under the watch of the living beings of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, the dragon charged into the white river. It was like a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, facing immense resistance, yet the dragon of destiny continued to roar and surge upwards!
At this sight, countless beings were at a loss to describe what they were witnessing. The dragon of destiny continuously ascended towards the depths of the heavens.
The common people did not know what this white river was, but Yang Hao knew. This river-like white gas was a wisp of immortal energy shot from an immortal gate in the Immortal Realm. In other words, if the dragon of destiny could overcome this white gas, the vast territory of the Great Han Divine Dynasty would be accepted by the Great Dao will of the Immortal Realm.
In layman's terms, as long as the dragon of destiny traversed this path, the cultivation system of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces plane would be linked to the Immortal Realm, and the Great Han Divine Dynasty would be accepted by the will of the Immortal Realm, becoming a part of its territory!
At that moment, as the river passed, the inhabitants of the Great Han Divine Dynasty would see that immortal gate!
Once the immortal gate opened, one could enter the Immortal Realm!
The dragon roared. Within a few breaths, the white river, whose distance was unfathomable, was traversed by the dragon of destiny. The white river dissipated, and the dragon of destiny turned its head, letting out a joyous roar towards the Great Han Divine Dynasty!
"The Great Han Divine Dynasty has been accepted by the Great Dao will of the Immortal Realm. Next, the immortal gate will open, and the Great Han Divine Dynasty will ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
Yang Hao watched the golden dragon of destiny. The golden dragon descended, circled the Great Han Divine Dynasty for nine more cycles, and then dissipated into the vast earth.
Above the Great Han Divine Dynasty, within the vast expanse of the sky, a seven-colored river of stars condensed from the void and majestically flowed into the imperial palace of Chang'an City. A colossal stone gate, shrouded in chaos, slowly appeared!
"The Immortal Gate!!"
"That is the Immortal Gate!!"
Xia Xin Yu was incredibly shocked. Although she had undergone Nirvana reincarnation when the Immortal Lord ascended to the Immortal Realm, she held the Phoenix clans' secret texts from the Immortal Realm, which clearly depicted this gateway!
Immortal energy emerges!
The Immortal Gate gathers!
The gateway for the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to enter the Immortal Realm has opened!
The Great Han Divine Emperor is truly powerful and peerless, capable of condensing an immortal gate and ascending with the entire world through his own power!
She suddenly shuddered and, with a look of horror, turned to Yang Hao's side and bowed: "Xia Xin Yu greets the Divine Emperor!"
"Hm?"
At this moment, Yang Hao, seeing the emergence of the immortal gate, had returned to the Hall of Tongtian and was quietly awaiting its opening. The sudden appearance of Xia Xin Yu made him frown.
"Divine Emperor, I have an urgent matter to inform you of!"
"Xia Xin Yu has not joined the Great Han, but she has always received the protection of the Divine Dynasty and enjoyed this abundant spiritual energy for decades, allowing her to reach the peak of the Chaotic Dao Venerable realm! Now that immortal energy has emerged and the immortal gate has gathered, the Great Han Divine Dynasty will soon ascend as a whole. To repay the Divine Emperor's kindness, Xia Xin Yu specially presents a portion of the records brought from the Immortal Realm by the Phoenix clans!"
"Records from the Immortal Realm?"
Yang Hao took the information presented by Xia Xin Yu. It was brief, just a few words. He then changed his expression and passed the information to Li Si and the others beside him.
"Divine Emperor, the Phoenix clans originated from the Immortal Realm. Perhaps due to too many enemies, or the complete loss of their heritage, the clans were banished to the lower realm. One branch came to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. The information they brought from the Immortal Realm is not extensive, only a few phrases. However, while these few phrases may not be precious to other beings, for those within the Divine Dynasty, especially with the current profound destiny of the Great Han, which will soon advance to an Immortal Dynasty and step into the Immortal Realm, it is bound to touch upon forbidden matters in the Immortal Realm!"
Xia Xin Yu's expression was tense.
"The cultivation realms in the Immortal Realm also include the realm of Immortal Emperor!"
Li Si held the paper with trembling hands.
"The Immortal Emperor is the realm that beings in the Immortal Realm pursue throughout their lives. It is known as the supreme existence in the heavens of the Immortal Realm, immensely powerful. With a single thought, not only can beings from this lower realm be annihilated, but even those lofty immortal kingdoms can be instantly wiped out!"
Xia Xin Yu gazed at the immortal gate manifested in the sky, her voice heavy as she spoke.
