After gleaning insights from Callide about making a breakthrough to royal heaven, Severin expressed his utmost appreciation to her. "Thank you, for your guidance!"
Callide smiled, and her beautiful eyes narrowed like crescent moons. "It's just a little nudge. I firmly believe that you will ascend to become a royal celestial," she said, before vanishing instantaneously.
Finally, Severin looked at the Pure Heart Sigil in his hand and the vial of Eighturn Golden Pills. He exhaled heavily and said, "Time to gain insight and become a royal celestial!"
At that moment, Severin made the resolute decision to ascend as the royal celestial—with a mere thought, the law of space cloaked his body as he vanished into the border sea.
He emerged out of the sea and swiftly returned to where the Longevity Alliance was stationed. After giving his wives an update on the situation, he rose to his feet and went straight to the Heaven Palace in the Nine Heavens. It was located several thousands of miles above, requiring him to traverse through fierce wind currents.
Each layer of heaven was a miniature cosmos—a tiny chiliocosm.
After navigating through the stars in the galaxy, Severin finally laid eyes upon a grandiose palace bursting with a kaleidoscope of colors. It was surrounded by a flush of positive energy and canopies that stretched for miles.
"If the current Heaven Palace is this magnificent, I can't help but wonder how much more majestic the old one was." Severin pondered.
At the present, the Heaven Palace was merely a remnant of its ancient predecessor. Legend held that the ancient Imperial Palace reigned supreme and controlled vast resources within the Celestial Realm. It housed gods that governed the stars, sun, moon, and 129,600 true immortals.
The other gatekeeper then said, "Be warned that the Celestial Ablution Pond remains accessible for only two months. The heavens and earth will repel those who do not leave upon expiry of that period."
They soon left Severin alone, and he took the opportunity to survey the formidable formation in front of him. Its chaotic brilliance unsettled him despite his quasi-royal celestial status, and he did not waste any more time in activating the Pure Heart Sigil using the power of heaven and earth in his body.
The sigil tuned bright and shot a brilliant pillar of light into the sky that was visible throughout half the Heaven Palace. Then, it levitated from Severin's grasp and projected a mysterious light towards the formation.
In an instant, an unseen force seized Severin, engulfing him and into the heart of the formation before he could react
