Chapter 1203

The Immortal World had been annihilated, and the endless army of punishment ghosts had been completely buried.

The Ancient Emperors had all disappeared like a flash in the pan.

When all the cultivators came to their senses, they were already in the vast starry sky of the Jade Spring Galaxy.

Everything in the Immortal World was like a dream, but the sorrow that came from the soul was so real.

"Rest in peace."

Gu Chen, Zuo Chunqiu, and the others looked at the Immortal World that had been annihilated in the void turbulence and bowed solemnly.

All the cultivators in the world followed suit, silently mourning for the Ancient Emperors who had lived a glorious life.

"They have helped us survive the punishment ghosts. Now, we will have to face it alone," said Gu Chen softly.

Gu Chen said softly. His gaze quickly turned sharp as he turned around and scanned the sky full of immortals!

At this moment, he was the master of the Celestial Court, the leader of the Immortal World. The power he exuded made everyone lower their heads subconsciously, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Pass down my order. No one is allowed to leave this place without permission. All forces, make an inventory of your members!"

Gu Chen said coldly.

This was his first order after becoming the Celestial Emperor. Li Shunyu, the Ghost Emperor, and the others were not surprised at all. Instead, they whispered to the leaders of the immortals and quickly carried out the order.

Although the countless cultivators in the Immortal World and the Divine World did not know why the Celestial Emperor was doing this, they obediently cooperated.

Soon, countless cultivators were shocked to find that the leaders of the major forces seemed to have received the Celestial Emperor's order. They spread out to the periphery, forming an impenetrable defensive net with the huge group of cultivators as the center.

Such an unusual movement caused the cultivators of the major forces to discuss it in private.

"There are so many people. Can we find him?"

Zuo Chunqiu hovered in the air next to Gu Chen and asked solemnly.

At this moment, the purplish-green light in Gu Chen's eyes flickered incessantly. He extended his divine sense to search the group.

Gu Chen shook his head when he heard Zuo Chunqiu's question. "I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

After escaping from the Immortal World, Gu Chen created such a huge commotion. Naturally, it was for Fang Wen.

The Celestial World had collapsed, and the Celestial Thearch's tomb was naturally no exception. Fang Wen had most likely managed to escape from the Celestial Thearch's tomb amidst a large group of immortals and gods.

The Celestial Thearch said that Fang Wen had karma with him, and this made Gu Chen very concerned.

Not to mention what this karma referred to or whether it would be harmful to Xiao Chen, Fang Wen was already a Martial Emperor. If Xiao Chen did not get rid of him, he would be a huge problem in the future.

Thus, when the Celestial World collapsed, he had already split his attention. However, at that time, the world was shaking and everything was in chaos. Even he couldn't catch a glimpse of him. He wasn't even sure if he had escaped from the tomb.

While he was uncertain, he assumed that Fang Wen had already escaped. Therefore, it was naturally his best choice to leave with the huge group of Immortal Gods.

Therefore, Gu Chen immediately sealed off the starry sky, hoping to find Fang Wen among the countless cultivators.

However, this was easier said than done. There were tens of millions of cultivators trapped in the Celestial World, and many of them were lone cultivators. With Fang Wen's strength, it was extremely easy for him to fish in troubled waters.

"We can't seal off the starry sky forever and prevent the movements of the various factions. Have you thought of a way to find him?"

Zuo Chunqiu muttered.

"Tang Ning is already calculating his location, but I feel that it will be difficult to gain anything."

Gu Chen replied.

After comprehending the Celestial Thearch's Dao, he had some understanding of the Dao of Divination. However, when he tried to calculate Fang Wen's location, he had no idea at all.

Tang Ning's Dao of Divination came from the Celestial Thearch, so he probably wouldn't gain any more than him.

This wasn't because Tang Ning was useless, but because Fang Wen's Genesis Master lineage was blessed in this aspect. Compared to all the other cultivators in the Ninth World, Tang Ning was naturally lacking.

"If the possibility of finding him isn't high, then there's no need to waste time with him."

Zuo Chunqiu rubbed his chin and reminded him. "The most pressing problem right now is the Xing County. Almost all the geniuses from the Outer Realm have died, so they will make their move soon. Many of us need to go into closed-door cultivation as soon as possible."

Gu Chen understood what Zuo Chunqiu meant. He, Tang Ning, and the Ghost Thearch had all benefited greatly from the inheritance ground. It was inevitable that they would step into the Thearch Realm.

Right now, they needed to consolidate their cultivation as soon as possible. After all, the Xing County could attack at any time, so they had to make full use of every second.

He was worried that Gu Chen would waste time and neglect the bigger picture because he was competing with Fang Wen.

"The lockdown will last for at most a day. If we can't find his weakness and Tang Ning doesn't have any clues, the lockdown will naturally be lifted. In reality, the lockdown isn't just for him. "

Gu Chen replied calmly. Evidently, he had considered all aspects.

"Oh? What else is it apart from him? "Zuo Chunqiu was surprised.

"You'll find out soon."

Gu Chen smirked and decided to keep it a secret for now.

The lockdown was about to last for a day. All the forces were ordered to search for suspicious people, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything.

Tang Ning divined many times but couldn't find any clues about Fang Wen. It was obvious that he had covered his tracks in advance. Even cultivators in the Dao of Life wouldn't be able to find anything about him.

Under these circumstances, all the cultivators were uneasy. They didn't know what the higher-ups were looking for, but they knew that danger could be hiding around them.

"It's been a day. It looks like we can't find Fang Wen. You should tell us what you're planning, right?"

Zuo Chunqiu calculated the time and reminded Gu Chen.

"Don't worry, you're part of this. The people we're going to deal with next won't be much simpler than Fang Wen."

Gu Chen murmured. His deep eyes stared at the corner of space, at the densely packed figures.

…

"Senior Chu, it's been a day. The higher-ups haven't given us a clear explanation. What do you think is going on?"

Mu Ziyu curiously asked the commander of the Silver Dragon Heavenly Legion, Chu Wang. Shi Jian, Qi Zeyan, and the others also looked over with interest.

Logically speaking, Divine Sect disciples like Mu Ziyu and Shi Jian shouldn't have much of a relationship with the commander of the Celestial Court, let alone speak to him so warmly.

However, ever since they were dragged into the ruins and were rescued by the Battle Wolf Heavenly Legion and the Silver Dragon Heavenly Legion, both sides gradually became familiar with each other.

In the process of escaping from the Gargoyles' attack and escaping to the center of the ruins, the amiable commander Chu played a huge role and saved them time and time again. As time passed, everyone became familiar with each other.

The higher-ups had already locked down the starry sky for a day. All the cultivators of the various forces were not allowed to move recklessly. This caused everyone to be extremely puzzled.
