Six months east of Dong Hai’s border at the top flying speed of a common Gold Immortal was a new city called ‘Wanling’. It was a great city only an absolute madman or a top genius could have designed, a city so enormous and magnificent that even Liangzhu was pale in comparison.

With a mountain standing one hundred miles high and measuring thousands of miles wide at the base as the foundation, wide circles of platforms were hacked starting from the foot for every mile of elevation, and the city was built on the huge platforms in the form of steps. The city was filled with the statues of various fantastic creatures in the world, including dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and many others.

The buildings were masterfully and luxuriously built. All the palaces, pavilions, and pagodas were constructed with fine gold and jade. Their walls were gold and their roofs jade, while the streets and courtyards were all paved with colorful stones. Together with the countless exotic flowers and plants in the city, the whole city of Wanling was literally a massive garden.

There was a lake on the top of the mountain. Originally, it was filled with clear water, but it had now turned into a lake of fine wine. The crimson liquor poured with a faint aroma through dozens of openings near the lake’s edges, flowed along channels specially carved, and turned into dozens of waterfalls and rivers that ran through the city. What gushed out of the thousands of fountains big and small in the city was fragrant wine or delicious milk, and they filled the city with an exotic aroma.

None of the residents in the city were old or ugly; they were all strong young men and beautiful young girls. Every one of them was beaming with energy, and clouds followed them when they walked, a sign that they each possessed the cultivation base of high-tier Heaven Immortals at the very least. However, these Heaven Immortals above the ninth tier were just servants in the city.

Warriors clad in gleaming armors of gold, purple, silver, blue, green, red, and other colors patrolled the streets with their thunderous footsteps. As tall and burly as some gods of war with fearsome cultivation bases, tens of millions of such warriors protected the mighty city that was unseen on Pangu Continent. Any enemies who tried to attack the city would have to suffer their merciless blows.

108 Supreme Towers that looked almost exactly the same as those in Great Yu, save for their glorious pure gold color and the countless carvings of dragons and phoenixes on their surfaces, hovered in the sky around the mountain, looking as luxurious as the city of Wanling.

At the top of each Supreme Tower sat cross-legged a Supreme Oracle. They were tall and strong, and their long white beards were carefully combed, with each strand flowing smoothly down their chests. Compared to Great Yu’s Oracles, they looked so much better. Great Yu’s Oracles were like rotten potatoes stored under the ground during winter, and these Oracles were the big red apples that had enjoyed sufficient sunlight on the trees during autumn.

In the middle of the wine lake on top of the mountain, a magnificent palace constructed of half-translucent white jade floated quietly in the crimson liquor.

Groups of beautiful girls in revealing clothes were playing and chasing each other in galleries near the water around the palace. From time to time, cries could be heard as some girls were pushed into the lake by their companions. They struggled to float in the liquor, and before long, they were all flushed due to swallowing too much wine. Then, the girls stamping their feet and laughing in the gallery would pull them from the lake, wipe them clean with squares of pure white silk, and carry them into a parlor surrounded by fresh flowers in the center of the palace.

Thick, soft cushions were laid across the floor in the parlor, on top of which were sprawled a dozen girls, flushed, drunk, and naked. The areas between their legs were smeared with blood and some milky white fluid. At the moment, Zhang Tengyun was laying atop a girl and staring in a daze at a red rose blooming close to his face, his lower body moving back and forth vigorously.

This was the city of Wanling, this was the Palace of Wanling, this was the domination center of the Ling Dynasty!

The Dynasty of Ling was an unknown but extremely powerful mortal kingdom in the outer heavenly realm. Zhang Tengyun was its present emperor, and only he knew how much power the dynasty possessed.

Among others, it had over ten thousand Gold Immortals as its honorable elders. These Gold Immortals came from over four hundred powerful immortal sects in outer heavenly realms, more than half of which were backed by Primordial experts. The sect masters of these clans were either the in-name disciples, outer-sect disciples, or personal disciples of those Primordial experts. Among the ten thousand Gold Immortals, about three hundred of them could freely visit the Nine Heavens and listen to the teachings of some almighty experts.

Ling Dynasty controlled millions of outer heavenly realms. Countless people were at Zhang Tengyun’s mercy, and billions of fearsome warriors could shatter the stars at his command. Wherever his imperial edict arrived, even the Heaven Lords and Immortal Lords of Heaven had to kneel and listen in awe, and only those subjects in high positions of Heaven could be his equal.

In addition, Zhang Tengyun was born together with a white jade lotus flower, which was actually a Supreme Artifact of Primal. Although it did not have any offensive ability, its defense was extraordinary, and was claimed to be able to repel all evil things. Even the curse which Princess Zhang Le had cast out of her fury could not harm him, which showed how powerful this lotus flower was.

When he was a little boy, Zhang Tengyun was taken as an in-name disciple by a nameless old daoist. His aptitude was excellent to begin with, and the daoist had poured in all his effort to train him. So, in just about a hundred years, he managed to become a peak first-tier Primordial Immortal from an ordinary mortal. If his speed of practice were to spread, it would certainly scare all the immortals who had spent eons struggling in the realm of Gold Immortals to death.

It had taken him only a hundred years to become a peak-level Primordial Immortal, which made him a rare freak even among the human race who were crowned for their cultivation speed!

The nameless daoist had given him numerous protective artifacts, many of which were powerful Chaotic Spirit Artifacts and Innate Spirit Artifacts. One of the artifacts was called the Universal Natal Celestial Medallion. It did not have any offensive or defensive power, but it could summon all the 84,000 Celestial Lords in the universe and let him use their natal star power.

With the help of this medallion, Zhang Tengyun had once visited the Fiend Realm alone and fought with all the Ghost Emperors and Ghost Saints there. That time, he had borrowed the natal star power from the seven Northern Dipper Celestial Lords. With the power of the seven stars and his overall strength of a peak first-tier Primordial Immortal, he had defeated all the almighty experts in the Fiend Realm who had existed since the beginning of the world, and forced them to send a large number of Fiend Immortals to join Ling Dynasty, forming the formidable Army of Myriad Fiends.

A single medallion had made him so powerful, let alone he had all kinds of other artifacts!

Everything went smoothly after he came back with glory from the Fiend Realm. During a hunting trip, his father was conveniently killed by a strong demon, and he managed to emerge among his many brothers and ascend to the throne. A rain of flowers fell on the day of his enthronement, and auspicious clouds lingered in the capital city of Ling Dynasty for three days. The six Great Celestial Emperors of Heaven had also issued a decree together that all immortals who served Heaven, except those in the highest ranks, must obey Zhang Tengyun’s decree unconditionally.

Compared to Zhang Tengyun, those so-called unusually lucky men favored by the heaven and earth were nothing.

All in all, Zhang Tengyun had been on a roll since he was born. There was nothing he could not get, and there was nothing he could not do. He was even praised by all the courtiers for his filial piety when he used violence to take dozens of his father’s favored concubines for his own.

In response to Heaven’s call, Ling Dynasty had brought countless people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to Pangu Continent. In just a few months, it had brought all the mortal kingdoms who had arrived earlier in the eastern region of Great Yu under its rule. Zhang Tengyun then immediately turned his attention to his neighbor to the west, which was said to be garrisoned by an important subject of the decaying dynasty, Great Yu. The man seemed to be known as the King of Dong Hai, and he was said to have some amazing abilities!

Earlier today, he had taken eight of his most loyal generals to a fortress that Ling Dynasty had recently built on its western border on a sudden whim where he caught a glimpse of Princess Zhang Le, who was overlooking at his city from a fortress in Dong Hai about a hundred miles away.

Zhang Tengyun, who had bedded countless women, was completely attracted by Princess Zhang Le’s mysterious, noble, and inviolable temperament. Like a mountaineer who had seen a brand new mountain, he almost instinctively wanted to mount himself atop her, like what he had done to all the other women in Ling Dynasty.

The problem was that Zhang Tengyun, who had such high self-esteem, had never dreamed that Princess Zhang Le would have so many experts around her, and that she was an even more terrifying figure with a stronger cultivation base than himself. He had intended to abduct her by force and bring her back to Wanling, but was startled when she attacked him, for even his white jade lotus flower was shaken by her curse.

And when Lord Xiansheng struck and the people around her intentionally leaked a hint of their aura, he immediately turned around and fled.

“Damnit!” At the thought that he had been forced to flee, Zhang Tengyun furiously grabbed the neck of the girl lying under him and strangled her. The girl twitched and struggled violently as he gave a gruesome sneer and then burst into laughter.

The girl’s body grew colder and colder. Soon afterward, a soul flew out of her body. Grinning grimly, Zhang Tengyun held the soul in his hand, slowly burning it with a wisp of purple flame. In his ears, the shrill wailing of the soul was as sweet and intoxicating as the screams, howls, and cries of pain uttered by all his brothers when he killed them, as well as all his sisters when he took them as his concubines!

He began to shiver violently. No longer able to hold it, he shot his seed into the girl with a moan.

At this moment, plumes of faint purple smoke gushed over from the surrounding flower beds. In the blink of an eye, the whole parlor was completely enveloped by the purple smoke. The laughter of the girls around him seemed to come from another world, vague and inaudible. A strange restrictive spell had imprisoned the parlor. Zhang Tengyun jumped to his feet with a jerk.

He looked around in astonishment as the white jade lotus flower flew out with a faint immortal light and covered his whole body.

Zhang Tengyun snapped, “Who dares to intrude my palace!”

Liu Bang walked slowly out of the purple smoke as he cupped his fist and bowed to him with a smile, “This subject, the Prime Minister of Ling Dynasty, the King of Han, Liu Bang, pays his respects to Your Majesty the Sacred Emperor!”

As Liu Bang’s laughter filled the parlor, the expressionless crown prince of Heaven, Lord Boyang, slowly stepped out of the purple smoke, accompanied by Lu Buwei.

Zhang Tengyun was stunned to find that Lord Boyang looked exactly like him.
