Emperor’s Domination

This firmament had the most bird species in Divine Firmament, some couldn’t be seen elsewhere.

For example, a silver cold-blooded eagle soared through the air like an arrow. A heavenly sparrow had wings the size of mountain ranges. Then there was a devil dove erupting with lava while flying out of an abyss...

At the bottom layer were many species, humans and demons included. Although Divine Firmament was sealed from the outside world, living beings still prospered.

Alas, the Chongming birds only had ten or so pure-blooded members. This made the vast world still rather lonely for them. The current atmosphere didn’t help either.

Any visitor was searched and scrutinized by the dragon servants. This was unprecedented since the whole firmament appeared to be on guard.

Only the upper echelon was aware of recent developments. However, they kept this a secret due to fear and anxiety.

Their immortal lord had been sealed so they felt as if the sky was falling. The only thing they could do was to prevent malicious visitors from causing more trouble.

It appeared that another divine beast was going to take over Divine Firmament. However, without Chongming Immortal Lord’s order, they couldn’t leave due to their oath.

Unfortunately, they didn’t notice a particular mortal visiting. After all, who would care about the arrival of an ant?

Li Qiye smiled upon looking at Chongming Palace. Coming there required crossing through all three regions on the tree.

“Screech!” He suddenly heard the screech of a young bird.

“Come out.” Li Qiye smiled.

A tiny bird around the size of a fist came out, looking cute with its fuzzy feathers. It stared at him curiously; the dao flames in its eyes could see through everything. Something on him attracted its attention.

“A pure-blooded chongming bird in the outside world? How rare.” Li Qiye said.

Despite the temptation, it didn’t dare to get close to him.

“Must be this?” Li Qiye smiled and took out the Chongming Order.

It was ecstatic and flapped its fuzzy wings, flying over toward him. Both its screech and flaps caused devastating damage.

The divine beasts were destined for greatness at birth, possessing more powers than other species.

It touched the order with its head, as if it were a family member.

“Screech.” It asked Li Qiye about the immortal lord.

Li Qiye gently patted it and shook his head: “I don’t know but I will find out soon, for that is the purpose of my trip.”

It pointed at the palace and then at the order.

“I know, that’s where I want to go. You want to follow me?” He asked.

The bird tilted its head in ponderance before shaking. No one was allowed to enter the palace without the lord’s permission.

“Screech.” It noticed someone coming and hid in Li Qiye’s sleeve.
