Chapter 1802 — Return to the Heavenly Realm

Lord Shang's injuries were exceedingly grave. Jiang Baigui's Immutability Divine Art was not perfect; in the urgency of that moment he had struck almost at the same instant as the Master of the Joyous Hall, trapping Lord Shang in the state of Immutability.
Caught in that same state along with Lord Shang was the Master of the Joyous Hall's dying blow, and this made his wounds fiendishly difficult to treat. Again and again Lord Shang relived the instant of being slain by the Master of the Joyous Hall, and Jiang Baigui's brow furrowed deeply.
"This can only be settled if my second senior brother lends a hand," he said to Heavenly Lord Yue.
Heavenly Lord Yue was equally at a loss over Lord Shang's injuries.
"If Heavenly Lord Ling were here, this would be far easier. .
.
" Thinking of Heavenly Lord Ling, she could not help but feel a pang of gloom. Heavenly Lord Ling had been gone a long while now.
She had asked Shen Mu, and Shen Mu had told her that Heavenly Lord Ling had gone to the past universe — only she did not know whether Shen Mu was lying. Shen Mu had also once said that his lame grandfather had gone to the past universe, and that Heavenly Lord Yun and his wife had retired into seclusion, though everyone knew they had already passed away.
Shen Mu had further said that Kaihuang Shen Ye was in fact not dead, and that in forty-two years he would surely appear upon the golden ship. That news had heartened many people — yet now the forty-two-year term was nearly upon them, and Kaihuang Shen Ye had still not appeared. "Ling, are you still alive.
.
. " Heavenly Lord Yue gathered her feelings, roused her divine art to hide Lord Shang deep within space, and charged with Jiang Baigui toward Emperor Haotian.
Both she and Jiang Baigui were gravely wounded. Before Lord Shang arrived, it had been the two of them who held off the Master of the Joyous Hall; the strength of a Miluo Palace hall master went without saying, and they too had been badly hurt.
But now the dawn of victory was in sight. So long as Emperor Haotian was eliminated, no one would remain to preside over the descent of the Miluo Palace's Dao-attainers!
Just as they were rushing toward Emperor Haotian, an obscure ripple suddenly washed over them. Heavenly Lord Yue's and Jiang Baigui's eyes twitched, and they followed the ripple with their gaze.
Within the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court, the first Dao-attainer had descended.
And outside the Jade Capital City, near the place where they fought, more Dao-attainers were descending — though it would be several days before they fully arrived. They had kept their eyes fixed all along on the descents outside the Jade Capital City, never imagining that the Miluo Palace would pull off a secret maneuver.
And judging by that ripple and the radiance of the dao light, it must be a hall master of the Miluo Palace!
For behind that light stood an immense dao tree, and upon the dao tree hung three dao fruits!
"There is still a chance!
" Heavenly Lord Yue immediately rushed forward, but Jiang Baigui suddenly blocked her path and shook his head.
"Heavenly Lord Yue, withdraw the troops.
" Heavenly Lord Yue looked at him, bewildered.
