# Chapter 1817: Arrogant Arrival

The voice that came from the Heavenly Terrace was extremely discourteous. As for the four forces—Questioning Heavenly Fortress, Sikong Heavenly Fortress, Great Zhou Immortal Palace, and Thunder Punishment Immortal Palace—if they wished to enter the Heavenly Terrace, their fortress lords would need to arrive in person. As for Qi Heavenly Fortress and Medicine King Immortal Palace, they suffered even greater humiliation and could simply roll away directly.

This made everyone understand one thing. It seemed that the three major forces invited into the Heavenly Terrace earlier had been treated with relative courtesy. No wonder they had left without a word—no one knew what they had encountered.

"Furthermore, there is another matter. At noon tomorrow, the Heavenly Terrace will visit the Medicine King Immortal Palace's station." Another rolling wave of sound spread out, causing the experts of Medicine King Immortal Palace to have strange glimmers in their eyes. The Heavenly Terrace, visiting their Medicine King Immortal Palace station?

"Fine. Our Medicine King Immortal Palace will await the esteemed guests of the Heavenly Terrace." After a moment of deliberation, the Medicine King Immortal Palace expert spoke, his tone carrying a strong aura of coldness. They wanted to see just who these people of the Heavenly Terrace were, daring to visit their Medicine King Immortal Palace.

The Heavenly Terrace contained illusory formations, making it difficult for them to charge in and kill. But the Medicine King Immortal Palace station was their own territory.

"Let's go." The experts of Medicine King Immortal Palace waved their sleeves and departed in a rolling manner. Before long, they had all left. The people of Qi Heavenly Fortress still had cold light in their eyes as they swept their gazes over the Heavenly Terrace once, then also departed one after another.

The experts of Questioning Heavenly Fortress also stared at the Heavenly Terrace, their gazes flickering uncertainly.

From the Heavenly Terrace's differential treatment of their Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses today, it was clear that the Heavenly Terrace must have some connection with their Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses. Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated them so differently.

Summer Heavenly Fortress, Ancient Heavenly Fortress, and Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Palace—the Heavenly Terrace was most courteous to them. Their Questioning Heavenly Fortress, Sikong Heavenly Fortress, and other forces were next—the Heavenly Terrace was very discourteous, demanding their fortress lords come. As for Qi Heavenly Fortress and Medicine King Immortal Palace, they were told directly to roll away. This could no longer be expressed with the word "discourteous"—it was clearly provocation.

The Heavenly Terrace's differential treatment and formations—the experts of Questioning Heavenly Fortress already vaguely felt that this matter seemed inseparable from that person. However, this was ultimately just suspicion. Even if it really was him, what force had he attached himself to? Everything still depended on noon tomorrow, when the Heavenly Terrace visited Medicine King Immortal Palace—who would appear and what they would do.

"Everyone, it seems we need to notify Azure Emperor Mountain." The expert of Questioning Heavenly Fortress spoke indifferently. The others' eyes flickered, silently agreeing with his words. In such a situation, it was necessary to let Azure Emperor Mountain know.

In the end, these people did not forcefully break into the Heavenly Terrace. The three forces silently departed. Coupled with the Heavenly Terrace's mystery and powerful illusory formation, they all had many concerns in their hearts. Everything would depend on tomorrow. They only needed to contact Medicine King Immortal Palace and adapt to the situation then.

The news that the Heavenly Terrace would visit Medicine King Immortal Palace at noon tomorrow quickly spread, crazily spreading throughout the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses region. That day, the headquarters of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses all received notifications from their respective forces and began rushing to the buffer zone where Medicine King Immortal Palace's station was located.

As for the people at Medicine King Immortal Palace's station, they notified the Medicine King Immortal Palace headquarters at the first opportunity and began mobilizing experts to this buffer zone station. They wanted to see just how big a wave the Heavenly Terrace could stir up in this region where the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses reigned supreme.

That day, sunlight sprinkled down on this buffer city at the center of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, carrying a hint of warmth. However, the atmosphere in this buffer city was quite tense. Even more so, experts from all sides descended one after another, and their destination was only one place—Medicine King Immortal Palace's station.

At this moment, within the vast Medicine King Immortal Palace station, the surroundings seemed more lively than usual, with people coming and going. Inside Medicine King Immortal Palace, outside the palace hall, the white-bearded Martial Emperor elder, dressed in a white robe, calmly swept his gaze over the sun hanging high in the void. Then his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked ahead. In his pupils, a cold light seemed to burst forth, as if piercing through space. The time was almost up. Today, the Heavenly Terrace should appear.

"Medicine Elder, you weren't present yesterday. You don't know how the Heavenly Terrace humiliated our Medicine King Immortal Palace. Among the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, they let the three forces like Summer Heavenly Fortress enter, invited the fortress lords of the four forces like Questioning Heavenly Fortress to come, but for our Medicine King Immortal Palace and Qi Heavenly Fortress, there was only one word—roll. Moreover, they declared they would visit our Medicine King Immortal Palace today, extremely arrogant."

At this moment, in front of the white-bearded Martial Emperor, a Martial Emperor expert had eyes like knives, sharp and piercing.

"I know." The white-bearded Martial Emperor's voice was calm as he spoke indifferently: "Today, our Medicine King Immortal Palace has six Mid-rank Emperors here, along with eighteen Low-rank Emperor experts, plus myself. With this lineup, I want to see what qualifications the Heavenly Terrace has to be arrogant. If the Heavenly Terrace is just bluffing, then today, they won't need to leave."

"Aside from that fellow who came with the people of Yaoye Island to act arrogantly once, it's really been a long time since anyone dared to be so arrogant in the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses region." One person's expression was icy cold, his voice extremely frigid.

The white-bearded Martial Emperor coldly laughed, then asked the speaker: "Ye Si, when can that child Ye Sheng arrive?"

"Medicine Elder, rest assured. After Ye Sheng's defeat in the struggle for control of the Small World back then, he reflected deeply, traveled across more than ten Small Worlds, and only returned after becoming an emperor to begin bitter cultivation at Azure Emperor Mountain. He gained the attention of Rebel Dust Martial Emperor, and his status at Azure Emperor Mountain surpasses people like Qi Yuchen and Zhou Tianruo. He can compete with the genius Wen Aofeng of Questioning Heavenly Fortress. This time I summoned him back, and he sent word that he would return with several senior brothers from Azure Emperor Mountain. At the very least, they are all Low-rank Emperor level experts. Even if the Heavenly Terrace has a strong foundation and we can't swallow them, once the experts of Azure Emperor Mountain arrive, it will still be their death day."

"I naturally trust your handling of matters." The white-bearded Martial Emperor spoke indifferently. Immediately, the experts below him all had sneering expressions in their eyes. With the cultivators of Azure Emperor Mountain, the Heavenly Terrace would have no way back today.

At this moment, the crowd raised their heads one after another, their gazes looking toward the void. The time was almost up.

From the central area of this buffer city, the Heavenly Terrace, to the station of Medicine King Immortal Palace, along the entire route, it was now exceptionally lively, with figures rolling like waves. In the void, experts dressed in uniform white robes cleared the way, simple and clean. On these white robes was carved a Heavenly Terrace, as if there were ten thousand zhang of steps, charging into the clouds of the Nine Heavens.

"So many experts. There are over thirty Martial Emperor experts. I didn't expect that in just a few short days, the Heavenly Terrace had gathered over thirty Martial Emperor realm people. What terrifying rallying power." The crowd gazed into the void, their hearts shaken. This wasn't simply a matter of over thirty Martial Emperors. The scene in the void right now was: all the emperors clearing the way, over a hundred Venerable Lord level experts standing on the left and right sides behind them, and at this moment, they were carrying an enormous, massive war chariot.

This war chariot glowed with purple light, forged from Purple Star Meteorite. At the same time, around it were nine dragons, each ridden by a person. This majestic dragon-drawn war chariot made everyone turn their heads. Inside the massive war chariot were blurry figures, as if revealing the light of an illusory formation. Even at this moment, the Heavenly Terrace remained so mysterious. No one even knew how many people were inside the war chariot.

Yet the more this mysterious aura, the more it made people feel unfathomable, and the more urgently they wanted to know what existence was inside.

The crowd grew like a snowball, gathering larger and larger. The Heavenly Terrace's emperors cleared the way, opening a great road in the void. Finally, they arrived at Medicine King Immortal Palace.

"They're here." At the outer perimeter of Medicine King Immortal Palace, everyone seemed to be waiting. But when they saw the rolling formation in the void, the emperors clearing the way, and the dragon-drawn war chariot, each one felt cold sweat seeping from their bodies, as if they had various ominous premonitions. The Heavenly Terrace had come in such grand style—they wanted to use Medicine King Immortal Palace to establish their authority!

If they didn't have formidable strength, how would the Heavenly Terrace dare to come so arrogantly, parading through the streets, as if they didn't put Medicine King Immortal Palace, one of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, in their eyes at all.

Within Medicine King Immortal Palace, figures shot into the air one after another, but no one dared to block the Heavenly Terrace's emperors clearing the way. Wherever the dragon-drawn war chariot passed, no one dared not to avoid it. It rolled forward all the way, opening a path into the Medicine King Immortal Palace station.

"What grand airs." The white-bearded Martial Emperor's expression changed. Seeing the rolling arrival of the dragon-drawn war chariot, sharp edges flashed in his pupils. These Heavenly Terrace fellows were so arrogantly imposing. Even when their fortress lord went out, there wouldn't be such a display. The Heavenly Terrace was deliberately doing this, arrogantly arriving at his Medicine King Immortal Palace.

"Stop." The white-bearded Martial Emperor shouted loudly. Immediately, figures rolled into the air one after another. Over twenty Martial Emperor experts, including six Mid-rank Emperor realm individuals, simultaneously ascended into the void, blocking the front of the Heavenly Terrace's emperors. Their eyes were all extremely sharp. The other side had come to his Medicine King Immortal Palace, yet was so arrogantly imposing, wanting to completely suppress their momentum.

The Heavenly Terrace's emperors stopped in the void. The dragon-drawn war chariot halted, still emitting mist. No one knew what figures were sitting inside that majestic war chariot, or how many people there were.

"Since you have all arrived at my Medicine King Immortal Palace station, why must you still hide your heads and tails? It's time to show yourselves." The white-bearded Martial Emperor's expression was icy cold. His sharp eyes were actually unable to penetrate the mist, unable to see the scene inside the war chariot.
