." Clever as he was, he absolutely could not guess the reason Shen Mu had brought them here. But to Heavenly Lord Hao, this place was strewn with treasures. A single Dao tree and two Dao fruits could not satisfy him; the true wealth was the entire divine city! "If I could move this divine city to the Heavenly Court and make it the Heavenly Court's own Jade Capital, what majesty that would be—how could the Supreme Emperor or my father, Taichu, ever compare? That would be the true Eternal Emperor!" He walked forward and continued to explore the divine city. Heavenly Lord Fire clutched the Dao fruit, his gaze flickering, staring at another Dao fruit hanging on another tree. That fruit was tattered and broken, and inside it lay a beautiful female corpse—the very one that had been blasted by the seal in the Pixiang Hall. "Heavenly Lord Fire, let's go!" Heavenly Lord Void turned and smiled. "That tree has withered and that fruit is ruined—useless." Heavenly Lord Fire turned his gaze away and followed the other four Lords. Not long after they left, Consort Qiang came walking over, coughing blood. She stopped beneath the withered Dao tree, looked up at the tattered Dao fruit, and bowed. "Dao friend." The woman inside the Dao fruit suddenly sat bolt upright and turned her head toward her. "An existence that attained the Dao, yet swims with fish and shrimp. Pitiful. Lamentable." Consort Qiang sneered. "You are also an existence that attained the Dao, and yet you were beaten by the divine abilities of fish and shrimp until you had to feign death to escape? Dao friend, you cannot even save yourself—spare me your mockery. I came to you because I want to join forces with you..." The woman inside the Dao fruit said, "Supreme Emperor, the position you hold now was given to you by the Miluo Palace. Now is the time for you to repay the Miluo Palace." Consort Qiang's heart leaped. "You know me?" "The Lord of the Miluo Palace captured the strange beasts of the world and created the Void Beast, then gave it to you. Did you truly think you had such vast fortune as to obtain a Void Beast on your own?" The woman inside the Dao fruit sneered. "The Lord of the Miluo Palace expected you to sacrifice more living beings, yet you were so incompetent that you ruined the splendid situation he had created for you!" Consort Qiang's face changed drastically. "The Lord of the Miluo Palace? This Jade Capital..." "This city is the Miluo Palace!" Meanwhile, the Taiji Ancient Gods fled swiftly out of the Jade Capital of the Ancestral Court with Consort Yan. Before long they caught up with Shi Qiluo, who had fled before them. Seeing these three divine beings, Shi Qiluo felt a jolt of alarm and knew it boded ill. Suddenly, Divine Emperor Langxuan flew through the air and landed beside her. Only then did Shi Qiluo breathe a sigh of relief. The Taiji Ancient Gods were also wary when they saw Divine Emperor Langxuan arrive, and they did not strike Shi Qiluo down. The three Heavenly Lords, each bearing wounds, looked at one another and all smiled bitterly. "Heavenly Lord Hao's power has become a great tide, while we are still guarding against one another! This setback is a warning!" Divine Emperor Langxuan glanced at Consort Yan and Shi Qiluo and sneered. "If we continue to fight each on our own, Heavenly Lord Hao will break us one by one. In the end he will unify the world and become the Heavenly Emperor! As for us, we will either become prisoners or die without a place to be buried!" Consort Yan said calmly, "If the Divine Emperor will help me subdue Shi Qiluo, then we need not fear Heavenly Lord Hao." Shi Qiluo laughed. "Elder Sister, if you refine me, you will rise in a single leap to the Heavenly Court realm, with all thirty-six heavenly palaces complete. Would Langxuan then still be anything but your prisoner? Could you spare the son of your brother-in-law and Gong Yun?" Consort Yan gave a cold laugh and said no more. Divine Emperor Langxuan's head ached. These two—
