Chapter 2365: The Secret of the Celestial Palace!

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and everyone’s hearts were heavy.

If it was truly as Master Guangcheng said, then it naturally meant that the end of days was truly coming for the world. Given Heaven’s ambition, he would definitely execute his Purification plan again, but this time, no one would be able to stop him.

For Li Xuantu, this meant the utter obliteration of the House of Li and the Great Tang Empire.

Wang Chong breathed in deeply and quickly focused himself.

“Things haven’t gotten that bad yet. We still have an opportunity. Moreover, I trust that His Majesty Xuanyuan left behind some way to deal with this situation.”

With these last words, Wang Chong looked up at the enthroned Xuanyuan.

One thousand years ago, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had used many methods to predict his coming, and he had used all of his energy to seal the center of the Celestial Palace. Wang Chong was confident that the Yellow Emperor had also predicted a development like this.

Most importantly, the Yellow Emperor still had a fragment of the Stone of Destiny.

Buzz!

Wang Chong extended a finger, placing it on the forehead of the Yellow Emperor’s corpse.

A gale exploded, and a dazzling light erupted from the center of Xuanyuan’s forehead, after which a crystal that twinkled like a star emerged.

A Stone of Destiny!

Wang Chong immediately recognized it.

The Stone of Destiny that Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan possessed was extremely similar to his own. The two were identical in terms of aura, but Wang Chong was still able to see the differences.

Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s Stone of Destiny was clearly incomplete compared to Wang Chong’s, only one-third of the size.

Wang Chong’s brow imperceptibly rose. Wang Chong had gradually begun to realize a few irregularities. The Stones of Destiny possessed by both the Sage Emperor and Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan were very incomplete for some reason, much smaller than his own.

However, Wang Chong quickly put these thoughts aside and focused on the matter at hand.

Such details were not important. What was most important was stopping Heaven and saving the millions of people in the capital.

Buzz!

With a thought from Wang Chong, the Stone of Destiny that belonged to Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan flew into Wang Chong’s body, merging with the Stone of Destiny in his mind.

“Congratulations to user for obtaining the Stone of Destiny (Shard) of Destiny Experimental Body 2. Major boost in progress to the Stone of Destiny Repair Plan! Current progress at 36%. User has been rewarded with 20,000,000 points of Destiny Energy.

“User has been rewarded with Destiny Experimental Body 2’s abilities.

“Lightning Control + 1.

“Weather Control + 1.

“Samsara Battle Armor Time Extension + 1.

“User has obtained the Psychic Energy strength of Destiny Experimental Body 2.

“The Stone of Destiny has been strengthened. The size of the Foundation Dimension has been doubled, and the awakening of the Ifrit King has accelerated.

“Destiny Experimental Body 2’s Grotto Heaven Core has been discovered within the Stone of Destiny Shard. Automatically granting to user.

“Notice: integration will require time. Estimated ten minutes. All rewards will be distributed upon integration.”

The Stone of Destiny’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind, and so many reward messages appeared that Wang Chong could barely keep up. The Foundation Dimension, his Psychic Energy, Destiny Energy points, the Samsara Battle Armor... all of his attributes were strengthened, and he had even obtained the ability to control lightning and the weather.

The Stone of Destiny’s level of completion had also jumped by more than twenty percent, which Wang Chong had never imagined.

After a long while, Wang Chong came back to his senses. At this moment, he heard a hesitant voice.

“Wang Chong, that... that ball of light—what was it?”

Wang Chong turned his head and saw that Li Xuantu was looking at him in shock. It wasn’t just him. Little Nightmare and Master Guangcheng were also confused.

Wang Chong was taken aback, unconsciously blurting out, “You didn’t see it?”

But this question only made them more confused. Surprised, Wang Chong was just about to say something more when he had a flash of insight.

Li Xuantu, Master Guangcheng, and Little Nightmare hadn’t been able to see it?

Besides himself, no one else could see the Stone of Destiny!

Li Xuantu was perplexed. He had been staring at Wang Chong this whole time. All he had seen was a golden light, but there was nothing inside. Thus, he had no idea what had happened.

But after this incident, he could tell that Wang Chong was much stronger.

Master Guangcheng realized something and suddenly said, “It’s probably something Little Grass left for him. Wang Chong, we don’t have much time. It all depends on you.”

Everyone had their secrets, and not all of them could be divulged.

“Mm.”

Wang Chong nodded and quickly walked to a corner of the hall.

Besides the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong had also obtained Yellow Emperor’s memories concerning the Celestial Palace, but he needed some time to study them.

Rumble!

Wang Chong sat down cross-legged. Meanwhile, thunderous booms came from outside as immense torrents of energy continued to batter at the outer barrier.

Heaven was gathering all of the Celestial Palace’s power to break down the final barrier.

There wasn’t much time left!

Hiss!

On the other end, Wang Chong took in a deep breath and opened up the ball of information Xuanyuan had left him.

Bzzz! Wang Chong’s vision went dark, and his mind was transported into another ‘dimension’.

“That you were able to enter this place means that you have already obtained my Stone of Destiny!”

The familiar voice of Xuanyuan rang out in this dark dimension, and Wang Chong once more saw the form of Xuanyuan, his expression extremely grave.

“This also means that you do not have much time left. I will tell you everything I know in the hopes that you can accomplish what I could not.”

Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s voice was heavy, seemingly weighed down by his endless regrets.

“I will now tell you the secrets of the Celestial Palace...”

Wang Chong’s surroundings shifted, and he discovered that he was once more in the Celestial Emperor Palace, all of its details from the throne and pillars to the incense burners and cloud-patterned floor stones realized in vivid detail... All of this was identical to where he was now, except that it lacked Master Guangcheng, Little Nightmare, and Li Xuantu.

Wang Chong immediately understood that he was not really in the Celestial Emperor Palace, but in a projection made of Psychic Energy. As expected, with a thought from Wang Chong, the Celestial Emperor Palace rapidly shrank into a sphere.

The Yellow Emperor’s voice spoke once more. “The Celestial Palace is divided into ten layers. The core area we are in is layer one, and there are layers that no one besides Heaven can access.”

Boomboomboom!

This time, spheres with a complicated internal structure descended from the sky, first covering the Celestial Emperor Palace, and then covering each previous sphere. The layers stacked on top of each other, each independent yet resonating with the others, forming a massive formation. Moreover, every layer turned in the same direction.

The higher the level of the layer, the larger and more complicated it was. When the tenth sphere appeared, the entire Celestial Palace was a massive edifice, and in a flash, an enormous energy erupted from within it.

“This is a composite divine tool!”

As he looked at the revolving Celestial Palace, Wang Chong suddenly understood what was so special about it, why the halo divine tool could not compare to it. Strictly speaking, the Celestial Palace was not a divine tool, but a composite divine tool created by combining ten enormous and complicated divine tools.

But Heaven’s methods were truly incredible. He had managed to perfectly fuse ten ritual tools together, creating from them this powerful Celestial Palace.

As Wang Chong watched, energy and laws gushed out of the Celestial Palace and suffused its surroundings.

Wang Chong hadn’t paid this any mind at first, but he soon realized that this golden light was transforming into clouds, and then a sun, a moon, mountains and rivers, fish, insects, and terrestrial beasts. And beyond this circle of illusion, the golden light transformed into infinite stars. Wang Chong could even see a milky-white galaxy made of countless stars.

“How could this be?”

Wang Chong was deeply shaken, but the transformations continued. Beyond the galaxy, Wang Chong could see nebulae, stars, black holes, and even more galaxies.

“!!!”

Wang Chong could no longer restrain himself. He had never imagined that the Celestial Palace could even simulate nebulae.

This divine tool was far stronger than anyone could imagine.

Besides that, Wang Chong finally understood why Xuanyuan’s remnant will said that this ritual tool could control the entire world.

This ritual tool could constantly evolve and expand, even simulate the universe. No other divine tool could compare.

Wang Chong could even sense that if it were not stopped, the divine tool would ultimately cover a range far greater than the continent, permeating into the universe and the fabric of spacetime.

As if Wang Chong’s shock had been predicted, the Yellow Emperor began to speak once more. “From what I have learned, countless epochs ago, Heaven came upon a special meteorite in the depths of the universe which he refined into the core of this ritual tool.”

Boom! Wang Chong clearly saw a giant meteorite radiating boundless light crashing to the ground.

“...Long ago, Heaven already had a desire to create the ultimate ritual tool, a supreme divine tool that could control the world. In this meteorite, he saw a chance at success. I spent a long time exploring the Celestial Palace before finally understanding the laws he had infused into this divine tool.”

As Xuanyuan’s voice continued, boom! The fabric of space trembled, and in the darkness, Wang Chong saw the projection of the Celestial Palace tremble and evolve. Beneath the Celestial Palace, a giant white circle appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the circle turned into a giant Yin Yang Taiji symbol.

Half of this represented the white day and the other half represented the black night. The two became the Yin Yang Fish, both pursuing each other, their heads touching the tail of the other as they constantly revolved in the air.

On the perimeter, Wang Chong saw pairs of black and white rectangles.

“This is Yin and Yang, heaven and earth.”

Enlightenment appeared in Wang Chong’s eyes.
