Looking up at the huge stone gate, with many carvings on it, on the left side of the gate were carvings of various animal forms, undoubtedly depictions of the Monsters. With just a simple nce, one could tell that these were statues of Monsters with first level bloodlines, meaning that only races that had produced emperors were qualified to have their statues here.


    On the right side of the gate were naturally bas-reliefs of the Spirit n with the most central one strikingly representing the sun and moon in radiantpetition, symbolizing the existence of the Tianyang Spirit King and the Earth Yin Spirit King.


    Above the two massive stone doors, there loomed an invisible oppressive force, causing Pretty Girl to feel a pressure like the overwhelming weight of Mount Tai bearing down upon her through her divine consciousness.


    Pretty Girl closed her eyes, and instantly, within her psychic perception, it seemed as if countless powerful beings were murmuring, and these murmurs managed to pull at her divine consciousness, causing fluctuations within it.


    With a slight maniption of the sea of divine consciousness, Pretty Girl activated the Heavenly Mechanism Feather within, and immediately, her whole presence began to take on an ethereal and elusive quality, and her divine consciousness, guided by the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, became unpredictable. Facing the massive pressure of divine consciousness, she was like an incorporeal being, allowing the pressure to descend but never trulypressing upon her.


    The Heavenly Mechanism Feather gave her a strange perception, allowing her to silently weave through the pressures of divine consciousness.


    "Very good. Worthy of being the champion of the Ancestral Court elitepetition," rang out a deep and powerful voice at that moment.


    The next instant, the huge stone gates before Pretty Girl began to slowly open, revealing a wide passage.


    Within the gate, the light was very bright, and the first thing Pretty Girl saw was a massive golden pir of light deep inside the gate, which descended from the sky, reminding Pretty Girl inevitably of the scenes within the Golden Valley.


    Under the effect of Tang San''s Illusion Array, only directly above the Golden Tree in the Golden Valley did sunlight fall, which was also depicted as golden light. But now, what she saw was a truly golden column of light, connecting heaven and earth, towering a thousand meters high, and massive in size; it was this that illuminated the entire inner part of Council Mountain.


    Inside the stone gate, on both sides stood columns, each engraved with a creature. Each column seemed alive in its own right, emitting a distinct aura.


    The columns varied in height, but even the shortest was over a hundred meters, each radiating different auras. The columns extended inward, and right at the innermost center, stood the enormous golden column connecting heaven and earth. Read exclusive chapters at empire


    With Pretty Girl''s Cultivation base, she could not fully perceive the kind of energy within that golden pir; all she could see was vastness.


    Pretty Girl walked slowly into Council Mountain, her heartbeat quickening slightly. She knew that this was where the highest authority of Demon Monster Land, where the emperors of both the Monster n and the Spirit n held council, was located. Here, the fate of the entire Demon Monster Land, and perhaps even the entire Fn, was determined.


    With a deep "rumble", the stone gates behind her closed slowly. Pretty Girl did not look back; she could feel the difference between this ce and the outside world. This seemed to be a world unto itself. Upon entering, both her bloodline and divine consciousness seemed to boil, elevating her spirit, essence, and energy to their highest state naturally.


    It seemed to be a ce that could sublime and excite a person. The existence of such a state was something Pretty Girl could not yetprehend, but she could feel that this ce was very special. She could not say if it was good or bad, but there seemed to be more good than bad.


    It was more than just being favored by Luck; there was a sense of being slightly torn apart. It seemed many different powers were converging here, someplementing each other, while others stood in opposition.


    Thinking back to theplex fluctuation of energy within the Ancestral Court and the mixed state among different elemental attributes, it was perhaps rted to the situation here.


    Pretty Girl stepped forward, past pairs of massive pirs, each one invoking a unique sensation. The taller the pir, the more intense the oppression felt; the shorter ones were more bearable.


    She suddenly had an epiphany—if each pir represented an emperor, then the taller the pir, the stronger the corresponding emperor''s power must have been.


    Tang San had once told her that even among the great monsters and Spirit Kings, there were distinctions in cultivation base and strength. The power of different emperors varied.


    Looking at these pirs, it was clear that Tang San''s words were true. The shortest pir seemed to be just over a hundred meters, while the tallest was a terrifying height of nearly five hundred meters. With a fivefold difference, their powers must have been worlds apart.


    "The construction of the Emperor Sky Pirs is based on the eras they came from," the deep, thick voice that had appeared earlier resonated once again, capturing Pretty Girl''s attention.


    In front of that immense, golden-hued pir in the innermost circle, an imposing figure had appeared.


    This being stood over ten meters tall, with an incredibly massive body, yet exuded a sense of formidable solidity. It seemed as if its presence alone anchored a mountain capable of awing both the past and the present.


    Golden Gleaming Mammoth Great Demon Emperor!


    Although it was her first time seeing him, Pretty Girl immediately recognized his identity.


    The profound sense of stability he exuded, coupled with certain physical characteristics, made his identity obvious: the strongest in defense among the Monster n, the patriarch of the Golden Mammoth Tribe, and the sole Great Demon Emperor from the Golden Species.


    The gaze of the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor was serene, hiding not his admiration for Pretty Girl.


    To him, a young girl of her age represented countless generations of descendants. From the moment she started climbing, her disyed abilities had earned his great admiration.


    "Being able to use Heaven Shifting to such an extent means that, in a way, you have already surpassed your father. Winning the championship in the Ancestral Court elite race is truly well-deserved," the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor said with a smile.@@novelbin@@


    Pretty Girl bowed slightly, paying her respects, "I am honored to meet you, Mammoth Great Demon Emperor."


    The Mammoth Great Demon Emperor smiled and said, "The Emperor Sky Pirs, also known as the Ancestor Pirs. You must have understood by now. Each Emperor Sky Pir here represents an ancestral emperor from the Monster n or the Spirit n. They are imbued with their essences and resonate with the emperors'' divine consciousness fluctuations. One of the most important duties of the Ancestral Court Council is to protect these pirs. They are the true core of both the Monster n and the Spirit n, and it is because of these pirs that the races they represent possess the most powerful bloodline strength. The Ancestor Pir behind me represents the umted Ancestor''s Power of the Monster n and the Spirit n over countless years, also known as the Assembly of Ancestors."


    "The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox once said that with each new Emperor Sky Pir that arises, the Luck of Demon Monster Land bes more cohesive, deepening the heritage of both the Monster n and the Spirit n, offering our tribes better opportunities for development. If it were not for..."


    He paused, chuckled, and continued, "I may have spoken too much. There are things you will only learn after you sessfully take office as the Jiali City Lord. ording to our ancestors'' traditions, you may now proceed to your Ancestor Pir for enlightenment. You have three days; after that is your inauguration. Cherish these three days, as they are crucial to the sess of your inauguration. Your presentation to us will also take ce here, observed by all the Great Demon Emperors of Tianyu Empire.
