Above the Nine Heavens, the celestial beings gathered for a banquet.
Suddenly, a cold snort reverberated through the Three Realms.
The celestial beings immediately paused, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of why the Heavenly Emperor's wrath erupted so fiercely.
"Penglai... Taiyi..."
The Heavenly Emperor Haotian muttered under his breath in the unseen depths.
The Independent Immortals of Penglai Immortal Island disobeyed orders, and the Taiyi Realm was even worse—entirely independent, completely disregarding the Heavenly Emperor's commands.
This time, someone attempted ascension, but failed halfway. Normally, such occurrences were a common sight, but today a faint trace of Penglai and Taiyi's presence lingered.
The faint presence flickered briefly, and though it spanned across infinite time and space, it could not escape the boundless divine perception of Haotian.
No matter what, Haotian had already marked this trace of energy in memory.
...
Upper Immortal World.
