The Black Tower was already powerful enough.
Then how terrifying would the being behind it be?
However, compared to the horror of the giants of the cultivator lineage,
the Ancient God Court Master, although shocked, was not too afraid.
His cultivation had already begun to evolve towards another realm, and behind him, he had the support of the Bronze Ancient Hall Era. His own foundation had begun to transcend the current era.
Tower Ancestor had been searching and exploring all the way, Central Star River, remote Star River, the edge of the universe, barren star systems, almost all realms had been visited. In addition to visiting the major forces, he was also drawing a star map, recording the locations of various forces.
As time passed, Tower Ancestor's figure completely disappeared in a certain desolate place at the edge of the universe, disappearing from the surveillance of countless gazes.
His true body then returned to the Heavenly Void World and entered the Profound Emperor Hall.

Chapter 248: The Foundation of the Three Major Starry Sky Factions
............
Profound Emperor Hall, the aura of the Heavenly Dao permeated.
Tower Ancestor, with his dark body,遁入了殿中 (dun ru le dian zhong -遁入殿中:遁 means to escape; 殿 means hall. So, it means he escaped/entered into the hall)
Xuan Ming waved his hand and shot out several divine lights, landing on the edge of Tower Ancestor. Dozens of ancient divine thoughts entangled on Tower Ancestor's body were pulled out, and under the bombardment of the divine light, they were immediately destroyed!
Tower Ancestor's trip involved the forbidden zone of the era.
Among them, there were ancient creatures who had lived for countless years.
At present, it seemed that Tower Ancestor had returned safely, but in fact, behind the scenes, many creatures had secretly taken action, leaving marks on Tower Ancestor's body, attempting to find out the secrets behind the Black Tower, or to plot against Xuan Ming.
"It seems that there are quite a few experts in these forbidden zones of the era!" Xuan Ming sat high on the imperial seat, his expression calm. With Tower Ancestor's cultivation, it would be difficult for ordinary giants, or even peak giants, to take action without being noticed by Tower Ancestor.
Therefore, the creatures behind these divine thoughts entangled in Tower Ancestor's body were basically half-step God Kings, or even experts in the God King realm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help." Tower Ancestor tilted his tower body towards Xuan Ming to salute.
In the situation where the starry sky had not yet recovered, these divine thoughts could not have any influence on him. But at this moment, within the Heavenly Void World, these divine thoughts would undoubtedly see something they should not see.
"It's okay, tell me about the investigation of the foundations of the various parties in the starry sky, as well as these forbidden zones."
Xuan Ming waved his hand and said.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, the Great World Star River closest to the Heavenly Void World is called the Fire God Domain. It is the dwelling place of the Fire Ancestor, one of the ancient gods. It can be used as the first Great World Star River for the imperial dynasty to conquer the outer starry sky."
"Once it is fully occupied, in the starry sky of the God camp, the imperial dynasty will have a foundation. It can retreat and form an alliance with the Heavenly Void World, and advance directly into the hinterland of the God camp's starry sky, and covet the God Domains of other gods," Tower Ancestor said.
Judging from the distance of the Star River, the Fire God Domain is the most suitable place for the imperial dynasty to occupy. At that time, the foundations of the two Great Worlds will be combined. The Godly Profound Imperial Dynasty will also have a place in the starry sky.
Xuan Ming nodded, signaling Tower Ancestor to continue.
"In addition to this Fire God Domain, there are twelve God Domain worlds in the starry sky of the God camp. Among them, the entire God lineage occupies six Great Worlds! The remaining God Domain worlds are the God Domains formed by another half of the gods self-transforming into a starry sky. These God Domains are mostly distributed in the west of the Heavenly Void World, and their masters have all grown to the peak level, equivalent to the Immortal Dao Fruit Realm."
"The Star River where the ancient strong clans are located occupies thirteen Great Worlds, namely the Dragon Clan's Dragon Realm, the Divine Sparrow Clan's Divine Sparrow Realm, the Bone Clan's Bone Realm, the Blood Phoenix Clan's Blood Phoenix Realm... Each clan has a giant in the Dao Fruit Realm sitting in town. In addition, there are other ancient races attached to them and some special creatures born in the ancient times. The overall number of giants in the Star River is about fourteen."
"The cultivator lineage's starry sky occupies eleven Great Worlds. Except for the Desolate Ancient, each Great World has a Dao Fruit Realm creature dormant. Overall, the cultivator lineage has fifteen giant realm creatures!"
"In addition to the three major camps and the Heavenly Void World, there are five Great Worlds in a state of self-sealing. If the Star River does not recover, the rules within should not be open. With the little god's divine eyes, it is difficult to penetrate these self-sealed Great Worlds to peek inside," Tower Ancestor continued to speak.
He told all the foundations of the various parties that were explored in this trip to the starry sky, and this is also the fruitful result formed by the starry sky over tens of millions of years from the ancient times to the present.
"Yes." Xuan Ming nodded slightly. He had vaguely seen some of the foundations of these three major camps when he scanned the Star River through the Heavenly Dao pupil. This time, after being confirmed by Tower Ancestor, he was not too surprised.
"Continue to talk about the forbidden zone of the era and the affairs of the starry sky!" Xuan Ming sat on the imperial seat and waved his hand.
Although these giants are powerful and numerous, they are not a great threat to him who has already refined the Heavenly Dao of the Great World. And there is no need to worry about those Immortals and ordinary ancient gods under the giants of the three major camps.
With the ability of the Ancestor of the Unexplained, a full recovery can almost cause the creatures of a Great World to fall into the disaster of the Unexplained. This indiscriminate attack can, to a certain extent, destroy the opponent's large-scale army and other foundations, and fundamentally disintegrate the enemy's will.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tower Ancestor tilted his tower body and continued to speak.
.........
After Tower Ancestor disappeared into the starry sky.
After searching several times without success, the giants of all realms reluctantly withdrew their gazes and continued to fall into deep sleep.
The Great Dao cultivated by the Star River giants is at the pinnacle of Dao practice.
In the ordinary era of the Starry Sky, the Great Dao goes into seclusion.
Although they can still move, it will consume a hundred times, a thousand times more rules and essence than in normal times.
And it may also touch the rules of the starry sky.
Therefore, since the end of the ancient times, they have successively self-sealed and fallen asleep.
If Tower Ancestor had not alarmed them, most of the giants would not have awakened during this time period.
But now, even if they fall asleep, they feel inexplicably uneasy.
Whether it is the unknown camp lurking in the Star River, or the major forbidden zones all over the starry sky, they all clearly indicate that once the great world recovers, the entire starry sky will never pass peacefully. If the creatures in the forbidden zones are involved at that time, even they may not be able to retreat completely.
This caused them to both anticipate the grand era and feel uneasy about it. Some giants had considered forming alliances to jointly face the grand era, but aside from the grudges between their ancient races, the gods were difficult to persuade. After all, once they refined a opposing god, the victor would leap into the realm they had dreamed of, becoming invincible.
Therefore, even if they could form an alliance, it might collapse at any time, making it somewhat unrealistic.
While the giants fell into slumber, the starry sky was stirred by enormous waves. The Tower Ancestor's descent upon various realms was not concealed. Beings in the great world began spreading the news to all star regions, causing widespread panic throughout the starry sky.
As the starry sky trembled, some weaker forbidden zones fell silent again, while some powerful forbidden zones gazed towards the direction of the Heavenly Void Realm, a strange glint flashing in their eyes.
The Black Tower was not frightening, merely a peak-level giant.
However, the being lurking within the Heavenly Void Realm caused a trace of solemnity to appear on their faces. Although they could not leave the forbidden zones, they knew somewhat through their divine sense that the one in the Heavenly Void Realm was likely not far from the God King realm, even if not a God King.
This was an existence capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with them in the grand era and even the Immortal Gate.
They had not expected that this epoch, having only evolved for ten million years, could give birth to such a being. Because of this, their earlier speculation seemed to be confirmed.

Chapter 249: Implementing the Cosmic Prison Plan, the Heavenly Void Banquet is Approaching
............
The Xuan Emperor Palace.
Xuan Ming leaned slightly against the Emperor's throne, the essence of the Heavenly Dao falling like fragrant petals from the Emperor's crown onto his imperial robes, eventually settling within the hall. The entire Xuan Emperor Palace was shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a celestial realm.
A dark black pagoda stood in the center of the Xuan Emperor Palace, respectfully awaiting Xuan Ming's words from above.
"So, there are roughly seventy epochs connected to the ninth universe's Star River?" Xuan Ming's gaze narrowed slightly.
Epoch forbidden zones possess special laws to resist the starry sky.
Even Xuan Ming found it difficult to see through a sufficient number. He was slightly surprised to receive the Tower Ancestor's report.
Compared to the beings of this epoch, these epoch forbidden zones were the main concern, existences worthy of Xuan Ming's attention.
Seventy epochs meant seventy former starry skies.
He had not expected there to be so many.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. Besides these epochs, the remaining cosmic Star Rivers should have other epochs connected as well. According to some epoch forbidden zone experts, their epochs were not divided into the nine great cosmic Star Rivers. They speculate that the starry sky may be constantly evolving towards some unknown realm..." The Tower Ancestor said truthfully upon hearing this.
He paused, then added.
"Some forbidden zone experts feel that this generation's starry sky epoch is very extraordinary when mentioning it. They say that even epochs that gave birth to God Kings usually only have one grand era."
"But the starry sky has at least two."
"The first was the Primordial and Ancient periods, which lasted for two million years, giving birth to the powerful foundations of the three major camps. In other epochs, if based on the starry sky's timeline, weaker epochs at that time might have Heavenly Gods as the strongest, while stronger ones might only be at the level of ordinary Ancient Gods."
"They speculate that the starry sky epoch, in addition to the legendary descent of the Immortal Gate, may support the emergence of the Supreme Fruit, which has aroused the covetousness of many forbidden zone experts. After the grand era revives, the goals of some forbidden zone experts may not be limited to the Immortal Gate... Perhaps, before the Immortal Gate opens, they will use various means to sneak in and plunder the fruits of the starry sky's grand era!"
The Tower Ancestor revealed some of the things he had learned in the forbidden zones.
"Oh?" Xuan Ming's face finally showed some change upon hearing this.
"The Cosmic Prison plan can be implemented then." Xuan Ming stroked his chin.
As for the fruit position of the Supreme realm.
Xuan Ming did not care about this at all.
The path he walked was different from these beings.
Afterward, the Tower Ancestor spoke again, revealing many secrets of the starry sky.
This gave Xuan Ming a direct understanding of the entire starry sky world.
In the Tower Ancestor's narration, these forbidden zones were only established in epochs closer to the starry sky. More ancient epochs, connected to later forbidden zones, had basically collapsed and been destroyed.
For these beings, their only reliance for existence was the River of Time, so they could not exist without supreme power, with God Kings being the minimum requirement.
However, they were extremely rare.
Those who could reach the Supreme level were even fewer.
These beings would generally only forcibly cross the years and enter this world when the Immortal Gate opened. During the grand era, the Divine Xuan Dynasty would still target these epoch forbidden zones after unifying the Star River.
The distribution of the starry sky was too vast.
Overall, it was roughly divided into three sections.
These were the Central Star Sea, the Epoch Forbidden Zone Star Region, and the Cosmic Wilderness!
Among them, the Central Star Sea included thirty-six great worlds and tens of thousands of star regions.
The Epoch Forbidden Zone Star Region was the area where the Epoch Forbidden Zones were established.
The Cosmic Wilderness was extremely remote, the most barren land in the starry sky, with dark and silent stars everywhere, forming star systems with little cultivation civilization. That Li Qingtian before should have come from that area, its value not high.
"The God camp is the easiest to deal with. If your strength is sufficient, you can push through horizontally. If your strength is temporarily insufficient, you can also provoke them against each other. Next are the ancient powerful races, and then the ancient lineage."
Xuan Ming pondered slightly. The three major camps of the Star River were opposed to each other, and the forces between them were mixed, requiring unification.
Otherwise, whether Xuan Ming refined the Heavenly Dao of other great worlds in the future, or other ideas, would be difficult to achieve.
"Withdraw." After thinking it over, Xuan Ming had a clear plan in his mind and waved his hand.
