Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Elder Niu, Infinite Celestial King, do you know of him?" Chu Qin looked toward Elder Niu and asked.

Elder Niu shook his head, "I've never heard of him."

"Good, then there's nothing to worry about." Chu Qin smiled lightly and said, "Bone King, Insect King, King Lie, you three are responsible for guarding outside the Immortal Warship. If the warship comes under attack, I'll hold you accountable!"

"Yes, Master!" Bone King, Insect King, and King Lie immediately took the Blood Demon Fiend and positioned themselves in a horn-like formation to guard the exterior of the Immortal Warship.

And so, the journey to Tai Chu Pavilion came to a complete close.

Having just arrived in the Nine Heavens, Chu Qin and his companions had reaped a rich harvest. Chu Qin had not only successfully ascended to Immortal King but also obtained two great Immortal Emperor Artifacts—the Emperor Blood Demon Robe and the Nine-Turn Annihilation Golden Wheel—and even awakened the Blood Chi Sword.

The realms of the women associated with Chu Qin also soared.

Now, Chu Qin and his companions were hastily heading toward Celestial Emperor Mountain.

Celestial Emperor Mountain was located above Southern Pure Heaven, some distance from Taiqing Heaven where the Tai Chu Pavilion was situated.

The storm continued through the night.

The next day, in the morning.

The Immortal Warship arrived at Celestial Emperor Mountain!

"Celestial Emperor Mountain, that must be Celestial Emperor Mountain," Luo Yiyi said, pointing ahead at a towering mountain in surprise.

"Wow, how beautiful, what majestic peaks."

One could see that Celestial Emperor Mountain was so pure, rising hundreds of thousands of meters without a single cloud over the entire mountain.

Despite the vast distance, one could make out its entirety. The shape of Celestial Emperor Mountain resembled a Celestial Emperor sitting cross-legged there, looking down upon the multitude of lives.

"Yes, that is Celestial Emperor Mountain. It is said that Celestial Emperor Mountain was formed from the transformation of an ancient and extremely old Celestial Emperor upon his passing. However, this has never been verified, and even the Immortal Emperors themselves say that it's not a living being," Yun Fu replied.

"Chu Qin, look, there's Discourse Peak!" Yun Fu pointed at the top of Celestial Emperor Mountain, at a place resembling the crown of a Celestial Emperor, "During its heyday, there were at least two Immortal Emperors passing their teachings here every day, their voices echoing mightily through the Nine Heavens. Even from our current location, you could hear the Celestial Emperor's Dao Voice."

"I hear it, I really do!" Bai Xiuxiu said with a face full of surprise.

"That is the sound of the wind." Phoenix smiled elegantly, "Such a strange wind!"

Just then, a gust of wild wind blew past.

The sound of the wind was incredibly special, as if a true Immortal Emperor was expounding the grand Dao of eternity.

"Hmm, it is the sound of the wind, and also the language of Immortal Emperors. The Dao Charm of Immortal Emperors can be imprinted upon everything, so the wind, thunder, stones, flowers, and trees of Celestial Emperor Mountain all carry the Dao Charm. However, only those with destiny can hear this Immortal Emperor Dao Charm! Xiu Xiu, this means you are fated!"

"Really? I have to listen carefully!" Bai Xiuxiu immediately closed her eyes in a prayerful pose, "All you Celestial Emperors of the heavens, please bless Chu Qin to quickly become an Immortal Emperor and help the Nine Heavens to completely overcome its difficulties."

Hearing her words, everyone showed a smile, but soon after, they all closed their eyes, attempting to discern the Dao Charm of the Immortal Emperor from the wind.

"I've heard it too, I seem to have heard thunder!" Shui Bing'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Bing'er, that's not the Dao Charm, there's a fight ahead!" Chu Qin said calmly as he looked straight ahead.

"A fight?"

Upon hearing this, the ladies were thoroughly energized and turned their gazes eagerly toward the front.

Indeed, they saw brilliant flashes of Xuan Guang above Celestial Emperor Mountain, with thunderous explosions echoing to the heavens, as if two groups were thoroughly engaged in battle.

"This scale of conflict, I'm afraid there are at least a hundred True Immortals involved in a melee!" Xi E said, startled.

"Not only that. There are even Immortal Kings fighting! Come on, let's go take a look." Chu Qin said with a faint smile. He wanted to see if it was the Infinite Celestial King.

And by the way, see if his wife was there.

"Yes!" The Bone King and Insect King, and King Lie, the three great Immortal Kings, nodded in agreement.

Chu Qin and his group watched from a distance, and as expected, they witnessed people with expansive hand-to-heaven techniques engaged in intense combat. The most fierce fighting was happening at the center, where the battle raged with flashes of Xuan Guang making it difficult to discern even with Divine Sense.

At that moment, the two great Immortal Kings seemed to have stopped, and the Xuan Guang briefly faded, revealing the true situation.

One was a Celestial King clad in crimson, standing off against another Celestial King in a white robe high in the sky.

"Chiyan Celestial King, your Red Flame Sect is really bold, even daring to seal off Celestial Emperor Mountain!" the white-robed Celestial King said coldly.

"Hmph, Bai Yi!" Chiyan Celestial King said coldly, "As a Celestial King, isn't claiming the fortunes of heaven and earth enough for you? Do you also want to become an Immortal Emperor? Do you know what being an Immortal Emperor means? It means the fortunes of this world will be completely taken by you, and future generations might not even have True Immortals anymore!"

"Who said I visited Celestial Emperor Mountain to become an Immortal Emperor! In today's world, who can achieve the title of Immortal Emperor?" Bai Yi responded coldly, "The White Cloud Celestial Dynasty has something left on Celestial Emperor Mountain. Once I retrieve it, I will leave."

"Hmph, such a falsely good excuse!" Chiyan Celestial King said coldly, "Let me tell you frankly, I will not only stop you from becoming an Immortal Emperor, but I will also kill you today and return your fortunes of heaven and earth to the Nine Heavens."

"That suits me just fine! I too can kill you and leave your fortunes for future generations!" Bai Yi retorted strongly, "Let's see who has the ability to do so."

"This is troublesome, the guardians of the mountain belong to the Red Flame Sect and White Cloud Celestial Dynasty," Elder Niu said with a sigh.

"What's wrong with the Red Flame Sect and White Cloud Celestial Dynasty?" Bi Bidong asked.

"The White Cloud Celestial Dynasty has always been one of the three hegemonies of Southern Pure Heaven, just as it was in the Ancient Era, and so it remains today, even more powerful than the Tai Chu Pavilion. How many Immortal Kings the White Cloud Celestial Dynasty has today, no one knows…"

"The power of the Chiyan Immortal Sect does not lose to that of the White Cloud Celestial Dynasty. At its peak, a single sect with two Celestial Emperors, whose fame echoed across the Nine Heavens. Today, the sect also has several Immortal Kings, upholding its status as one of the Nine Heavens' few top-tier sects. The key is, the Chiyan Immortal Sect has formed some kind of alliance with several other top sects to exterminate all the Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens, to return the fortunes to future generations!"

"Such hypocritical villains! They say they're returning fortunes to future generations, but in truth, they're eliminating their own threats," Bing Shu said coldly, "If they truly held such noble intentions, why don't these Immortal Kings take their own lives?"

"Exactly, just a bunch of sanctimonious immortals!" Elder Niu nodded in agreement, "King Chu Qin, if you want to enter Celestial Emperor Mountain, you can only do so through the Emperor Gate ahead. All other areas are protected by Immortal Emperor Formations. How about we wait and see which side emerges victorious before entering? After all, we are surrounded by Blood Demon Fiends, and the Nine Heavens despise them to the core."

"What I'm most worried about is that they might call for reinforcements."

"No need, even if a few more Immortal Kings come, they would still be no match for me. Besides, there are the Bone King and the others. Let's go straight through the Emperor Gate; if anyone obstructs us, kill!" Chu Qin ordered coldly, "Since killing Immortal Kings benefits future generations, we can do so too. There's no need for courtesy with villains!"
