# Chapter 2215: Nine Heavens Celestial Court
Watching the Prophet disappear with Lin Feng and the others, the crowd revealed confused expressions. They had simply left like that.
"The Prophet left in a hurry, clearly to avoid interception by the Ten Divine Palaces." The crowd's hearts trembled slightly. The Ten Divine Palaces had joined forces, and the Fate Temple had finally made its move, taking away all those who had obtained the ten strong seats. And this also symbolized the complete end of the Heavenly Summit Meeting. Everything had come to a close.
Above the void, Duan Feng's gaze flickered. He too was puzzled about what had happened between the Divine Palaces.
In the direction where the Snow Clan was located, Little Zhetian clenched his fists and let out a breath. The young man opposite him raised an eyebrow, then revealed a faint smile, saying, "Interesting."
The two Divine Palace great experts who had returned through the air disappeared again, seemingly rushing upward into the sky. After some time, people from the Fate Temple reappeared to handle the remaining matters. They granted those in the top fifty seats the qualification to enter the City of Fate, becoming a part of it. Meanwhile, those in the top hundred seats would have the right to freely enter and exit the inner city of Shen Xiao City.
After handling all this, the platform gradually descended downward, as if everything was returning to how it had been before. The crowd in Shen Xiao City looked at the gradually blurring projections, feeling a sense of loss. Had the first round of the Heavenly Summit Meeting ended? At this moment, they still felt unsatisfied. The scenes of battle still lingered in their minds, unable to settle for a long time.
The crowd gradually departed. The inner city and outer city of Shen Xiao City were once again separated. Without the projections, the people of the twelve regions of Shen Xiao City could no longer see the scenery of the inner city. The divide between the inner and outer cities was like an insurmountable natural chasm. Only those who had obtained a spot in the top hundred of the Heavenly Summit Meeting could set foot on that land. And indeed, those who had obtained top hundred spots all entered the inner city. They wanted to see what kind of world the legendary inner city of Shen Xiao City truly was.
At this moment, Hou Qinglin, Langxie, Jun Moxi, and others walked through this unfamiliar city. They looked at the immortal city floating in the void ahead, their hearts shaken.
"That floating immortal city is the City of Fate." Several people looked in that direction, their hearts trembling. A city in the void, an immortal city.
"This city beneath our feet has an extremely dense concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy, and even the law forces seem more active. Is this the inner city of Shen Xiao City?" The crowd looked around. Where they stood, immortal palaces coiled around, buildings were sparse, yet each was a majestic structure exuding immortal energy.
They were not the only ones who had come. Many of the top hundred seat holders walked through this space, secretly marveling at the wonders of this world. Occasionally, passersby would see the amazement in their eyes and reveal proud expressions. These people had all come here through the Heavenly Summit Meeting, all rare genius figures.
"Let's go. We're heading to the City of Fate." At this moment, some of the top fifty seat holders stepped forward, heading toward the immortal city where the City of Fate was located, rushing toward the sky. At the same time, a group of young figures with extraordinary bearing strolled over from afar, brushing past them, arriving in this space, and smiling at the crowd, saying, "Congratulations to all of you for arriving at the Nine Heavens Celestial Court."
"Nine Heavens Celestial Court." The crowd's hearts trembled slightly, pounding with agitation. This place was the Nine Heavens Celestial Court.
...
In the City of Fate, beneath the boundless starry sky, Lin Feng and the others had been brought here by the Prophet. Standing on the ground, they could look up and see the brilliant stars scattered across the earth, as if only a hair's breadth away.
Lin Feng glanced at everyone present. One person was missing — Chu Chunqiu. Just now, a powerful figure had taken Chu Chunqiu away. The strong experts of the Ten Divine Palaces had all gone in pursuit. No one knew what this meant.
Figures in white robes strolled over, their bearing ethereal and otherworldly. Their cultivation levels could not be seen through. Without a doubt, they were all extremely formidable individuals.
"Having you encounter such a situation is the fault of our Fate Temple. However, it was also a test for you. Next, our people will take you to different places separately, allowing you to choose your future cultivation path." The Prophet looked at everyone and spoke slowly, then nodded to the white-robed figures.
"Kong Ming, come with me." One person spoke to Kong Ming.
"Zhou Rongman, come with me." Another person spoke. Although everyone was puzzled, since they had safely entered the Divine Temple, the people of the Fate Temple would naturally explain things to them. In the end, only Lin Feng remained, still standing in place. All the white-robed figures had left with the others, leaving only the Prophet behind.
"Lin Feng." The Prophet looked at Lin Feng, a gentle smile appearing in his eyes.
"Senior." Lin Feng called out respectfully. After many years, they had met again.
"Lin Feng, first of all, congratulations on arriving here. You must have many doubts right now, and what I am about to tell you is extremely important. Listen carefully." The Prophet's expression turned solemn as he spoke to Lin Feng.
"Mm." Seeing the Prophet's grave expression, Lin Feng's heart tightened. This matter was probably related to the Ten Divine Palaces joining forces earlier.
"This matter goes back to very early times. I will briefly explain it to you. In the ancient era, the Nine Heavens land had abundant spiritual energy, giving birth to countless cultivation experts. When they cultivated to a certain level, they could forge their own small worlds, multiply and produce descendants, and develop future generations. The population of the Nine Heavens land grew larger and larger, small worlds became more and more dense, to the point where the land of the Nine Heavens was almost insufficient, and the spiritual energy was gradually becoming thinner."
"Thus, supreme experts began to forge rules. They wanted to unify the continent and divide and establish rules for this Nine Heavens land. Hence, the era of the gods' contention emerged, and the Divine Palaces came into being as a result."
Lin Feng's heart pounded violently upon hearing the Prophet's words. He had once thought that the day he stepped into the inner city of Shen Xiao City would be the day he came into contact with secrets and understood this world. Now, that moment had truly arrived. He would come to know the real world.
"The era of the gods' contention lasted for an unknown length of time. However, the end of the ancient era and the beginning of the ancient era began when the nine great Divine Palaces formally established their dominion. These nine Divine Palaces were: the Starry Sky Divine Temple, the Time Divine Temple, the Ganges Sand Divine Temple, the Void Divine Temple, the Life Divine Temple, the Flame Divine Temple, the Ice and Snow Divine Temple, the Radiant Gold Divine Temple, and the Earth Divine Temple. These were the nine Divine Palaces that first came into being. The Starry Sky Divine Temple is now the Fate Temple. The Ganges Sand Divine Temple is now the Buddha Divine Temple. The Time Divine Temple was lost in the passage of time, while other Divine Palaces rose in its place."
"However, no matter how the years changed afterward, the establishment of the Divine Palaces symbolized the transition from the ancient era to the ancient era, ending the chaos of the times. At the same time, to alleviate the pressure of population and prevent the thinning of heaven and earth spiritual energy, eight supreme figures created eight lower worlds that remained eternal and unchanging. Those worlds, evolved to the present day, are the Nine Heavens Continent."
"The Nine Heavens Continent." Lin Feng's heart pounded fiercely once more. The Nine Heavens Continent — a lower world created by great experts.
"So, the land I am standing on now is the original world of the continent?" Lin Feng asked.
"That's correct. The land you are standing on now is the origin of the Nine Heavens, now called the Nine Heavens Celestial Court."
"The nine Divine Palaces brought this world into the ancient period. Then, countless more experts were born, and they too had the ability to create worlds. The Underworld, the Tai Yao Realm, and other worlds were thus born. However, these worlds do not have as long a history as the Nine Heavens Continent, becoming the private worlds of those extraordinary figures. For example, the Underworld is absolutely controlled by the Nether Divine Temple. The Tai Yao Realm is controlled by the giant races of the demon clan. Only the Nine Heavens Continent is the most mature world, an ownerless world. That world also began to give birth to countless experts, who in turn created countless new small worlds within the Nine Heavens Continent."
Lin Feng listened quietly. Although it was said to be an ownerless world, the Divine Palaces possessed supreme martial force. They still had strong control over the Nine Heavens Continent.
"No one has ever been able to rule the world and become an absolute overlord. No single Divine Palace could achieve this." The Prophet seemed to think of something, raised his head, and looked toward the void. "Until that era arrived, which was also the end of the ancient period."
"In that era, the wheel of fate turned, giving rise to a heaven-defying figure who created a legend. He took control of the Fate Temple, causing it to rise step by step, until it had the ability to threaten the other Divine Palaces. Then, disaster erupted. The Divine Palaces joined forces, and a war of unprecedented scale broke out between them and the Fate Temple, sweeping across every corner of the continent. The outcome of that battle was the fall of the gods. That battle had two names: the War of Fate, or the Twilight of the Gods."
"That battle also marked the end of the ancient era. Several powerful Divine Palaces went from prosperity to decline, while some forces began to rise. Conflicts between various forces continued, but they could never again reach the level of that terrifying great war. Then, a thousand years ago, within the Fate Temple, just like at the end of the ancient era, the wheel of fate turned once more. The strong experts of the Divine Palaces simultaneously descended upon the Fate Temple."
Lin Feng's heart trembled slightly. At the end of the ancient era, the turning of the wheel of fate had produced a heaven-defying figure, leading to a world war. And over a thousand years ago, had something similar happened again?
The Prophet continued, "Over a thousand years later, just recently, the wheel of fate has moved once more."
Lin Feng's heart trembled again.
