Chapter 6444

The forecourt was paved with ancient spirit jade.

Its smooth, polished surface concealed spirit-gathering sigils that continuously drew in the world’s spiritual essence, nourishing the palace’s fortune year-round.

On either side of the forecourt stood two orderly rows of elite celestial cultivators.

Their backs were perfectly straight, their armor gleamed brilliantly, and their auras were stable and condensed. Their sharp eyes scanned every direction like hawks, maintaining an impenetrable defense around the palace.

Every one of these guards possessed cultivation at the peak of the Ninth Level of the True Immortal Realm.

They stood just a single step away from breaking into the Golden Immortal Realm.

Their combat strength far exceeded that of cultivators of the same realm from the Sixteenth Firmament.
