The old woman then stood beside the throne.

"They're here, miss." She said to Sky_Butterfly.

The woman still didn't pay attention to them even after they arrived in front of her, only after hearing the old woman's words did she look at them.

She looked relaxed and friendly, but no one dared to be disrespectful in front of her. After she looked at them, they all immediately cupped their fists to greet her.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." They said at the same time.

Qin Tian also greeted her and he did so very sincerely because that woman was really very strong.

In the past, he had been a candidate for emperor. In terms of strength, he might be able to compete with an ordinary ancient god, but if he were to fight against that woman, even escaping might be difficult for him.

"How strong is she really?" He wondered.

"She might already be at the Transcendent realm!" Luna suddenly spoke.

"Transcendent?" Qin Tian was immediately taken aback and showed a confused expression. He had never heard of it.

"Hahaha, do you think that after Paragon is Emperor realm, no, there is still a Transcendent realm. What is truly extraordinary is the Heaven's Will of the sixteen heavens because it can turn Paragon into emperor in one step."

"There is such a thing? Can you explain in more detail?"

"Well, the Transcendent realm is divided into three stages, it is a realm above Paragon. In Atlantis, before one can become a god (here Heavenly Emperor), they must first reach the Transcendent third stage."

"Why can the ancient gods become so powerful? It's because they are already in a different realm. Of course, those ancient gods still haven't become Transcendents, but they have already touched that realm."

"They have begun to comprehend the Dao in the Transcendent realm. That is what has increased their strength so that even those who have only unlocked a few divine symbols possess extremely powerful strength."

"It turned out that way, but why isn't there any information about it. I've never even heard a rumor about it." Qin Tian became even more confused.

"I'm not sure either, but this world is indeed quite unique. You see, the cultivation of the people here is actually much faster than in Atlantis."

"In Atlantis, even geniuses who are confirmed to become gods will take a very long time to reach the Saint realm. But here, even geniuses like them can reach the Saint realm under the age of 50. That's definitely weird."

"However, the progress of the people here became very slow after they became Paragons.

"Although their talent may not be enough to become an Emperor or God without the Heaven's Will of the sixteen heavens, with hundreds of thousands of years time, they should be able to break through to the first stage Transcendent realm."

""There might be some kind of barrier here, but if that woman can break through to the Transcendent realm, her talent is indeed quite extraordinary."

"But, if there is one more realm before becoming emperor, why do some very powerful ancient gods have the power to withstand the emperor's attack? Shouldn't the difference in their strength be so huge?" Qin Tian asked.

"Well, I'm not sure about that. But that might be because the Emperors haven't unleashed their full power. Or something is limiting their power in this world. Otherwise, they could even destroy the entire sixteen heavens."

...

Sky_Butterfly watched them for some time before opening her mouth to speak.

"So you young geniuses on this continent." She said. She then looked at Feng Qingxue and the others. "And there are also some from the Land of Emperors."

Under her gaze, Feng Qingxue and the others lowered their heads.

Not to mention Sky_Butterfly, even if it's an ordinary ancient god, they will still be respectful. Their current strength still didn't allow them to offend an ancient god. Even the faction behind them would have to pay a heavy price if they angered an ancient god.

"Well."

"I gathered all of you here, apart from recruiting a disciple, it's because I also want you to help me do something."

"Who will be my disciple later will be determined by your performance."

Her words made Qin Tian and the others look at hir with curious expressions.

She then looked at the Paragons and ancient saints who had brought them to the palace. "I'll borrow them for a bit, you guys don't mind right?" She said in a low voice.

"Of course, of course!" Some of them immediately answered.

Not to mention just borrowing them, even if he killed them, they might not dare to say anything.

Even though she may appear relaxed, she is definitely a ruthless character. In order to rule over the Whale continent, she had even nearly destroyed their clan.

"Hm..." She nodded with a faint smile after hearing their words.

She then waved her hand towards Qin Tian and the others. Immediately after that the suction power sucked them into an independent world.

It only lasted for an instant. As they looked around, they found themselves appearing in a garden full of pavilions.

"Wait here a moment." They then heard her voice reverberate throughout the place.

That independent world had a very strong barrier. The others couldn't break through the barrier to see outside, but Qin Tian could still see outside.

After entering them into that independent world, Sky_Butterfly ordered the Paragons and ancient saints to leave.

After they left, she then looked at the old woman beside her.

"Let's go!" She said.

"Mm." The old woman nodded.

After that, the two of them stepped into the sky.

In one step, they instantly appeared above the Whale continent.

"Looks like she really is going to take us to another heaven." Qin Tian said in his heart.

They then took another step. This time, they pierced through the sky covering the Nirvana Heaven. After that, they appeared in a space filled with countless stars.

The sixteen heavens consisted of sixteen enormous planets. Around the planets, there are many star systems such as the solar system. Each of these star systems has at least one planet with life.

After arriving in space, Qin Tian could see the other fifteen heavens. He recognized each of them.

But the distance between each of them was really very far apart. Even Paragon would take quite a long time to travel from one heaven to another. Most people would rather go through the teleportation formation.

Except the ancient gods, of course.

They paused for a while before stepping into one of the heavens.

It was a planet that emitted a dark light.

"Dark Heaven!"

Qin Tian instantly frowned as he saw where they were going.

....

Well, updates are a bit slow lately because I've been busy, it's not for any other reason, so don't worry.
