Chapter 943: Chapter 780: Beyond the Void Bubble

While Zhang Jiuling was drafting a memorial in the lands of MoNan, Li Xuan was in a mist-enshrouded valley in Tiannan, receiving the inheritance of Heavenly Court left there.

More than two years ago, Li Xuan had visited this valley once under the guidance of Lv Qiluo and acquired the "Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace."

However, this time, his plan was to take the entire fairy palace hidden within the valley, moving it all into his Tianxingtai.

The width and length of this fairy palace both spanned seven miles, its scale comparable to nearly half of the Forbidden City.

According to Lv Qiluo, this fairy palace had no connection with the third generation of Heavenly Court, rather it was part of the second generation, so in theory, it could be integrated into Tianxingtai as well.

What Li Xuan valued were the existing palace complex inside, along with the walls made of Huntian Mud and Immortal Spirit Jade Stone.

Not only were the palaces complete with pavilions, terraces, and open halls, brimming with Spiritual Energy and bearing the air of a fairy palace, but they also contained a vast collection of rare treasures.

For instance, within Lv Qiluo’s "Lvyin House," there were six Immortal Artifacts, over thirty supreme magical implements, and many innate treasures unimaginable to commoners.

The Huntian Mud and Immortal Spirit Jade Stone of the four walls were also rare materials in the mortal realm, not only exceedingly tough but also significantly increasing the space’s strength of Tianxingtai.

Lv Qiluo might have had some reservations, so this time she did not accompany Li Xuan and instead went into hiding a hundred miles away.

But Li Xuan had long surpassed his former self.

He brought not only his four Divine Generals, including Immortal Master Shuide Ao Shuying, Master Zhongliu, and Lord Tushan, to this place, but also five levitating warships and thirty thousand heavenly soldiers.

The first obstacle in acquiring this fairy palace was the Zhulong.

Ao Shuying, having transformed into dragon form, coiled in the air, ready to strike at any moment.

This was the trump card Li Xuan prepared for the Zhulong; Ao Shuying’s "Notes on the Classic of Water" and "Huntian Hammer" held powerful restraining abilities against Zhulong.

However, the battle did not break out; upon seeing them, the Zhulong withdrew its head, disappearing into the mist, vanishing without a trace.

Li Xuan suddenly realized why Lv Qiluo had told him to bring more troops this time, and the more the better — it turned out one could subdue the enemy without fighting.

His initial plan, though, was to subjugate the Zhulong and employ it to work for him.

Regrettably, the Zhulong failed to recognize fate, losing the chance to become a divine beast of Heavenly Court and receive the blessings numbered 007.

The next was the mechanical general within the Heaven Palace: "Taichong Yuanchen."

Under the reign of Heaven Emperor Dijun, the second generation Heavenly Court also had twelve Divine Generals Yuanchen and twelve Divine Generals Dingjia.

After the collapse of the second generation Heavenly Court, only three remained, "Taichong Yuanchen" being one of them.

It was universally acknowledged that the twenty-four mechanical generals from the era of Dijun were far superior to those from the Haotian Era.

This was likely because the world had access to more top-tier materials tens of thousands of years ago.

The "mechanical general" was somewhat troublesome; Li Xuan carefully lured it out first.

He then joined forces with the four Divine Generals and the power of two Extreme Heavens, utilizing the "Huntian Chain" and the "Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron" to firmly suppress and restrain it.

Li Xuan then forcibly opened the breastplate of "Taichong Yuanchen." The space inside was so vast it surpassed the imagination.

It clearly used the principle of ’mustard seed covers the entire world,’ a human-sized chest cavity containing a space nearly fifty yards in diameter.

Within the fifty-yard space were countless layered white-gold rings.

These white-gold rings fit together like gears, with the largest at the center having a diameter of ten yards and the smallest only as thick as a finger.

No matter their size, each was intricately engraved with countless delicate and exquisite Runes.

Following Lv Qiluo’s advice, Li Xuan directly pressed his "Haotian Seal" and the imitations of "Zhushen Order" and "Immortal Slashing Order" onto the center of the largest white-gold ring.

At that moment, the white-gold ring spun rapidly, and shadows of the twelve Earthly Branches: "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai," along with the "Ding Mao, Ding Si, Ding Wei, Ding You, Ding Hai, Ding Chou, Jia Zi, Jia Xu, Jia Shen, Jia Wu, Jia Chen, Jia Yin," appeared on the sides.

Li Xuan, following the order, used his Divine Sense thought to activate these shadows one by one.

When all twenty-four shadows disappeared, Li Xuan felt a connection between his Haotian Seal and the mechanical general, inseparable from each other.

Li Xuan’s expression was somewhat peculiar. How should he put it? The feeling was a bit like connecting to Wi-Fi in later generations—

He then shook his head and said, "Release it."

As Fu Youde’s cautious and vigilant expression faded and he retracted his Huntian Chain, everyone else also withdrew their powers. "Taichong Yuanchen," however, stood still in its original place without any motion.

A glow akin to that of a ruby emanated from its "eyes" as if it were scanning Li Xuan up and down.

After a brief moment, the mechanical general kneeled halfway toward Li Xuan and presented the silver-white Longsword that it held in front of its chest.

"Your Majesty! Taichong Yuanchen has been ordered to guard here for 53,400 years, during which the territory under jurisdiction has remained largely intact. No external enemies have infiltrated, and the South Heaven Palace has suffered no losses," it said.

Its voice sounded like synthesized electronic tones, drawing the side glances of Master Zhongliu, Lord Tushan, and others.

To them, 53,400 years was an unfathomable number, their lifespans nowhere near that long.
