Including Daluo Heaven, Da Chitian, and other secret realms bearing the Saint Dao Fruit, there are thirty-six heavens in the Primordial land, each enveloping above the vast Primordial Land like a canopy.
Each heaven is higher than the one below.
Ascending from the Lower Realm to the Heavenly Court is not simply a matter of flying upwards continuously.
Between Heaven and Earth, there are still obstacles like the Nine Heavens Gang Wind and Ruishui River, and furthermore, the Heavenly Court is protected by a Great Formation, usually accessible only through the four main Heavenly Gates.
The closest Heavenly Gate to the Southern Continent is the South Heavenly Gate.
At a glance:
Golden light in ten thousand strands emits crimson rainbows; auspicious qi in a thousand strands sprays purple mist!
The magnificent and expansive South Heavenly Gate, constructed entirely of glorious glass and decorated with precious jewels.
Two Divine Generals, clad in Golden Armor and Golden Helmet, stand to the left and right outside the South Heavenly Gate, each possessing the strength of Heavenly Immortals.
Behind them, numerous generals dressed in silver armor and helmets—mostly Earth Immortals—holding spears and whips, swords, and sabers, appear imposingly majestic.
Such a vast array of Heavenly and Earth Immortals uniformly guarding before the Heavenly Gate undeniably project a formidable presence.
"Brother Yun, do you think Tian Yu God General will be reinstated to his original position this time?"
The Golden Armored God General guarding the right side of the South Heavenly Gate turned his head to the one on the left, his face masking a hint of mystery, whispered, "Should we prepare some congratulatory gifts for when he returns?"
"General Tianfeng, don't get distracted while on duty, guard the Heavenly Gate well; whatever you need to discuss can wait until after your shift."
The Golden Armored God General on the left, not turning back, sternly said, "Moreover, though we are brothers of the same sect, having joined the Heavenly Court as Gods, we must obey its rules.
We are the 'Tian' generation Divine Generals, address me as God General Tianyun!"
"Understood, Brother Yun."
General Tianfeng replied with a grin, "Don't be so nervous… Although our Heavenly Court is somewhat strict, life here is quite comfortable.
His Majesty commanded us to guard the South Heavenly Gate, mostly just for show, to flex some muscle; surely no one would dare to be presumptuous enough to challenge the Heavenly Court?"
Before he could finish, several Divine Generals, dressed in golden armor and helmets, were seen stumbling toward the South Heavenly Gate, shouting loudly, "Disaster has struck!"
"Quickly close the Heavenly Gate!"
Hiss!
A flaming meteor pierced through the thick clouds, chasing closely behind those Divine Generals toward the South Heavenly Gate.
"This is bad!"
God General Tianyun's expression changed, he advanced with his divine spear and bellowed, "This is a sacred area of the Heavenly Court! What demon dares to trespass here!"
General Tianfeng and the other Heavenly Soldiers and Generals also reacted swiftly, quickly forming a battle array.
"Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without mercy!"
A harsh roar echoed, accompanied by a splendid sweep of an axe's light across the sky.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were blown away, tumbling and collapsing in disarray.
Tianyun and Tianfeng, the two 'Tian' generation Divine Generals, bore the brunt of the impact, were blown away and crashed heavily against the grand South Heavenly Gate.
Both shocked and furious, they hurriedly shouted to close the South Heavenly Gate.
But it was already too late.
That scorching "meteor" had shot past the South Heavenly Gate after sending many Divine Generals flying, charging towards the legendary auspicious area of the Heavenly Court.
"Disaster, disaster has struck!"
General Tianfeng slid down the South Heavenly Gate to the ground, clutching his chest, watching the murderous "meteor" speeding away, his face filled with shock and panic.
Next to him, God General Tianyun, who had also slid down similarly, gave him a speechless look… that's what you get for talking nonsense!
…
"Your Majesty, disaster has struck!"
"Some Evil Immortal recklessly entered through the South Heavenly Gate, leaving the gatekeepers severely injured!"
Outside Lingxiao Palace, a Spiritual Official who received the alert screamed anxiously.
The Heavenly Emperor, watching his nephew full of murderous aura in the treasure mirror, clenched his fists, feeling an overwhelming rush of emotions, eventually erupted in anger:
"Transmit my decree, order Marshal Tianpeng along with the Five Supreme War Gods to immediately suppress him!"
"Remember!"
"Do not harm his life; I want him to be tried strictly according to our laws!"
"Yes!"
The Spiritual Official took the order and hurried away.
…
"Emperor of Heaven, you old thief!"
Yang Jian, holding the Mountain Opening Divine Axe, easily stormed into the Heavenly Court; following this, his bloodshot eyes became somewhat vacant.
He had brazenly fought his way into the Heavenly Court, unaware of what exactly it entails.
After the Peach Banquet, today's Heavenly Court had become even more well-established.
From afar, those thirty-three layers of magnificent and majestic Heaven Palaces were aligned vertically; additionally, seventy-two opulent Treasure Halls stretched horizontally.
Further away were countless palaces, towers, and numerous Immortal Islands floating above the sea of clouds.
Divine springs flowed on these Immortal Islands, miraculous plants and ethereal flowers covered the ground, and the scenery glowed with a mystic charm.
These connected Heaven Palaces formed bridges like rainbows, cutting across the sea of clouds.
Countless flying Immortals in colorful garments busily flew over the sea of clouds; numerous Heavenly Soldiers in silver armor and helmets were lined up in neat rows, patrolling all directions.
Such a splendid and auspicious realm of the Heavenly Palace was abruptly invaded by Yang Jian, wielding a giant axe and exuding an oppressive demonic aura, startling the Immortal palace maids and causing the Heavenly Soldiers to quickly gather around him, encircling him tightly.
"Who are you, and how dare you intrude into the sacred land of the Heavenly Court!"
"Bold demon, trespassing into the Heavenly Palace is a capital offense against the heavenly laws!"
"Surrender immediately and await the disposal of the Emperor of Heaven!"
"…"
Angry reproaches shouted by the Heavenly Soldiers, yet not one dared to step forward.
Even as Yang Jian advanced step by step, these Heavenly Soldiers simultaneously retreated two steps back in unison.
They were not fools.
The South Heavenly Gate was guarded by two God Generals and numerous Heavenly Generals; the fact that this man could break through was enough to prove his strength surpassed that of a God General.
In such a situation, who would rashly rush forward? That would simply be courting death.
Surround and do not attack, advance when the enemy advances, retreat when the enemy retreats... The core idea is one word: Steady!
However, Yang Jian did not plan to get dragged into a prolonged battle, he directly swung the Mountain Opening Axe, shouting "Those who block my way shall die," and delivered a sweeping blow.
Most of these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are natives of the Heavenly Realm, neither Immortals nor Gods, how could they possibly be opponents for Yang Jian.
In an instant, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals fell like dumplings, lying above the sea of clouds, moaning in pain.
But although Yang Jian was extremely angry, he still showed restraint in his attack and did not directly deal lethal blows.
He, Yang Jian, was never a person who indiscriminately killed the innocent!
His ascent to the Heavenly Court this time was only to seek revenge against the Emperor of Heaven, not wanting to involve others.
Like those Divine Generals from the Lower Realm, he only killed the Tian Yu God General, who was directly responsible for his father's and brother's deaths long ago, and spared the other Divine Generals.
Still, even so, an assembly of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals was deathly pale.
This man is too terrifying!
They came to the Heavenly Court to enjoy blessings, not to fight life-threatening battles!
Boom!
Yang Jian did not care about these.
Holding the Mountain Opening Axe, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, with each swing of his axe countless Heavenly Soldiers fell like dumplings, wherever he went, cries and screams filled the air.
"Emperor of Heaven, you old thief!"
"Come out here!"
"If you don't appear, I'll dismantle this Heavenly Court!"
Yang Jian charged forward, his axe split an Immortal Island into fragments, then with a kick, he toppled a Treasure Hall.
The surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals fell one after another, not daring to block his path.
At this moment, a righteous voice resounded: "Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy is here, you minor demon, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
The angry shout was like a ringing bell, causing many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to churn with Qi-Blood, nearly deafening them.
Yang Jian was also startled, feeling pressured for the first time.
He looked up and saw a giant warship speeding over from above the vast sea of clouds.
The warship, about a hundred miles long and several dozen miles wide, resembled a towering Immortal Island.
Its spirit sails bulged, silver armor covered the deck, and from the deck, clustered silhouettes of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in silver armor could be seen.
But within Yang Jian's view, only the tall and majestic figure at the bow of the ship was visible.
This figure, fifty zhang tall, dressed in black, wearing a black crown and adorned with Golden Armor, his six arms held a variety of weapons, exuding a formidable aura as he wielded a long sword, pointing it from afar at Yang Jian.
"I am the Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy, under the command of the Emperor of Heaven to capture this daring demon who rebels!" "Generals and soldiers, heed my command, unleash the Star River Divine Net!"
"Rumble——"
Following the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy's order, those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on the warship joined forces to release a vast amount of Star River Divine Sand.
Initially the size of soybeans, the Star River Divine Sand shone brilliantly like stars, rapidly expanding upon release into a radiant starlight net that linked together, aiming to encapsulate Yang Jian.
"Good timing!"
Yang Jian roared, his third eye on his forehead emitting dazzling divine light, he swung the Mountain Opening Divine Axe with great force downwards.
"Rumble!"
A loud boom, countless stars exploded.
The starry net also instantly tore open a huge gaping hole.
Yang Jian burst forth from the gap, raising his Mountain Opening Axe and directing it straight at the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.
The latter hastily swung his spiritual weapon to meet the attack.
The two weapons collided and then separated.
The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy was pushed back over a hundred zhang, feeling all six arms sore and trembling slightly, his palms cracked and bleeding.
Meanwhile, Yang Jian also staggered backward ten miles, roaring: "Being big is so impressive, huh? Watch my 'Fatian Xiangdi'!"
While speaking, his eyes shone with golden light, his body inflated immensely like it was being pumped, transforming into a giant tens of thousands of zhang tall, and his Mountain Opening Axe also grew millions of times in size, held like a small mountain in his hand.
"Kill!"
With a furious roar, the terrifying sonic waves accompanied by the Gang Wind swept forth.
Countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were blown away.
Inumerable Heavenly Palaces, Immortal Islands, and Divine Mountains collapsed and shattered.
The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy's complexion drastically changed.
If he hadn't earlier adopted his True Body, he too would have been blown away by that roar.
…
In the Palace of the Polestar
The Heavenly Emperor clenched his fists, his face showing both reassurance and anger.
Reassured that Yang Jian had inherited his mother's divine power, showing even more potential than expected; and angry, naturally at that person who schemed everything from behind!
"That person caused Yang Jian to split the mountain that killed his mother, and even wants us, uncle and nephew, to fight each other!"
"Utterly despicable!"
"He just wants to tarnish my reputation!"
"Making all the Immortals of the Three Realms laugh at me!"
"But if I don't make a move, who else can stop Yang Jian now?"
"Yuan Su Immortal, Emperor Donghua... How can I command them!"
"Who else can share my worries!"
The Heavenly Emperor was extremely distressed.
Beside him, Golden Mother also displayed a worried expression.
Whether it was the Heavenly Emperor or the Golden Mother, simply by taking action themselves, or even just by deploying their Spiritual Treasures, they could easily suppress Yang Jian.
But once their relationship was made public, how would the Immortals of the Three Sects view him?
Causing the death of his own sister, suppressing his own nephew...
Just these two accusations alone would be enough to distort his image in the hearts of the Immortals of the Three Realms, and make the Immortals feel resentful towards the Heavenly Court!
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they could not personally take action.
But if they let Yang Jian continue creating havoc, the consequences would undoubtedly be even more severe.
At this moment, a Spiritual Official outside the hall suddenly exclaimed with excitement:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chan Sect Immortal, Nanji Immortal, seeks an audience with Your Majesty!"
