Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

The white light and golden light complemented each other, dyeing the white jade palace in the mist, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

The ethereal sound of immortals surrounded the two, even the spiritual power within them was stirred by this celestial sound.

"The sound of the Great Dao."

Gu Lingxiao felt that the depths of this holy road were truly extraordinary.

Even the legendary sound of the Great Dao was resonating here.

If one were to cultivate while listening to the sound of the Great Dao, the speed of cultivation would increase by at least a hundredfold!

And this was not the main purpose of the sound of the Great Dao. Its main purpose was to comprehend the Great Dao.

Many saints were stuck at the ninth level of sainthood, just one step away from reaching the realm of the Dao. They often tried to find a way to listen to the sound of the Great Dao.

In history, there were several saints who successfully ascended to the realm of the Dao through this method.

Just as they had entered the depths of this holy road, there was already such a miraculous phenomenon of the sound of the Great Dao.

If they were to continue walking further, who knows if there would be even more good things that would appear.

Yuan Xiner, who was beside him, was clearly already stunned. She listened to the sound of the Great Dao in a daze, completely unable to move.

She thought she had seen the world.

Until today, she finally understood what it meant to see the world.

Even top powers wouldn't have the sound of the Great Dao right at their doorstep, right?

Gu Lingxiao continued walking forward until he was far away, and only then did Yuan Xiner snap out of her daze and follow him.

Stepping through endless clouds, the distance between the two of them and the white jade palace became closer and closer, and more details of the palace appeared before them one by one.

"Heaven's Gate."

In front of the palace, a large gate, four to five meters high and two to three meters wide, stood in their way.

Gilded characters were freely painted above the gate, and the two characters could only be described as magnificent and grand.

Gu Lingxiao looked at the two characters thoughtfully, "So this holy road is actually the remains of this power."

Yuan Xiner, who was beside him, didn't understand, "Which power?"

Gu Lingxiao didn't speak, but conveyed a lot of information to Yuan Xiner with a light tap of his finger.

In the current chaotic immortal domain, the human race is dominant, and all races and realms bow down beneath the immortal domain.

The Gu family is undoubtedly the strongest power in the immortal domain, and there are only a few powers that can be compared to the Gu family.

But it wasn't always like this in the past.

A power called the Heavenly Palace once controlled the entire immortal domain.

The ruler of the Heavenly Palace was the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, in the immortal domain, whether it was the human race, the divine race, the demon race, the monster race, the spirit race, or the mysterious race...

They were not bound by the Heavenly Dao and had no possibility of reaching sainthood.

Only by being bound by the soul by the Heavenly Dao could one have the possibility of transcending and reaching sainthood.

The immortal domain is accustomed to calling the period from the birth to the destruction of the Heavenly Dao an era.

An era could last for tens of millions of years or even trillions of years.

And that era lasted for a hundred trillion years.

That was the darkest period for all races.

But also the most glorious period for the Heavenly Dao.

The current Heavenly Dao is nothing more than a toy in the hands of the truly powerful.

No one knows how that era came to an end. The history of that time has long been buried in the vast river of time.

But since it was once the most powerful force in the immortal domain, it must have considerable exploration value.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven's destiny should be preserved slowly in order to maximize interests.

"In the immortal domain, such a powerful force once existed..."

Yuan Xiner couldn't help but mutter to herself, silently comparing the ruler of the Heavenly Palace with the person who would destroy the world in the future.

She was curious about who would be stronger if the two were to fight.

Just as they approached the Heavenly Gate, a white pillar of light descended from the sky and enveloped the Heavenly Gate.

After the pillar of light dissipated, a general wearing a platinum battle armor appeared in front of them.

"By order of the ruler of the Heavenly Palace, Yuan Xiner is to be taken as the Heavenly Empress and oversee the Heavenly Palace's harem!"

"Ah! Me?"

Yuan Xiner pointed at herself, listening incredulously to what General Baijin was saying.

Heavenly Empress?

"Make your Heavenly Palace Lord come out."

Gu Lingxiao looked at the General Baijin in front of him indifferently.

He could tell that this General Baijin was not a real person, but an incarnation of a memory.

This memory had been imprisoned here.

"Outrageous!" General Baijin became furious. "A mere Holy Realm dares to be so insolent towards the Heavenly Palace Lord!"

He angrily attacked Gu Lingxiao.

But before he could reach Gu Lingxiao, this memory dissipated due to its inability to contain his anger.

Just like a statue made of sand.

A gentle breeze would cause it to dissipate.

What Gu Lingxiao had just done was like blowing a breath of air on this statue.

This incarnation of the memory could hold some small memories, but it couldn't contain his anger.

Gu Lingxiao looked at the dissipating General Baijin in the air, becoming more and more interested in this place.

The power emanating from this General Baijin had reached the Dao Realm.

To achieve all this with just a memory showed the terrifying strength he had in his lifetime.

And such terrifying strength turned out to be that of a gatekeeper.

It was a glimpse of the former glory of the Heavenly Palace.

"Let's go."

"Oh, okay."

Yuan Xiner was getting more and more confused.

This General Baijin seemed quite powerful, but why did he collapse without even making a move?

Also, how did he know her name?

As they officially crossed the Heavenly Gate, an ancient voice sounded in their ears, sounding as if it had crossed endless ages and was filled with vicissitudes.

"You have arrived."

A gust of wind drifted from afar, condensing into a human form that looked no different from a real person.

This person's appearance couldn't determine their gender, but their face was old, full of wrinkles like an ordinary person who had weathered the wind and frost.

Wearing a coarse cloth shirt and hunching their back, they also had a golden cloak draped over them.

The two garments looked extremely mismatched and out of place compared to the distant and magnificent Heavenly Palace behind them.

"Heavenly Palace Lord."

Gu Lingxiao looked at this person and accurately identified their identity.

"Hmm?"

The Heavenly Palace Lord seemed surprised that Gu Lingxiao could call out their name, and they looked at Gu Lingxiao with doubt.

"He is the Heavenly Palace Lord?"

Yuan Xiner's eyes were filled with shock.

Based on the information she had just received, this person should be a mighty and cunning character.

But the person in front of her was ordinary, nothing more than ordinary.

Except for the slightly extraordinary golden cloak behind them, everything else was no different from an ordinary person.

"That's right. However, I don't like being called the Heavenly Palace Lord by others. It's better to call me... Tianxingdao."

"The Immortal Realm once had countless Heavenly Paths, but you are the only one who was born with a complete self-awareness and the only one who successfully escaped the responsibilities of the Heavenly Path."

Gu Lingxiao didn't respond but changed the topic.

All Heavenly Paths have their own consciousness.

But most of their consciousness is not complete, like newborn babies with only the most instinctual awareness.

When they trigger a great calamity, it's like a baby being uncomfortable and crying.

Only this Tianxingdao had a complete self-awareness.

Other Heavenly Paths trigger great calamities to return the spiritual power taken by cultivators to the heavens and earth, nourishing the growth of all things in the world.

But he went ahead and established the Heavenly Palace, monopolizing these spiritual powers.

Gu Lingxiao was very interested in this former Heavenly Path.
