Melodious celestial music drifted through the air, alongside the fragrance of heart-pleasing spices, while a continuous stretch of buildings floated upon the pristine white clouds, all suffused with the peculiar essence of the Tao.
Wang Ran appeared inside a magnificent palace.
The palace was empty except for the sounds of metal clashing against metal from outside. Inside, there was but one beautiful woman, draped in a Phoenix Gold Robe, reclining on the throne at the very top, holding a Wine Vessel in her left hand and propped up by a Longsword in her right hand.
"You've come," said the beautiful woman indifferently.
Wang Ran lifted his head, following the sound, and spoke softly, "I have been commanded by the Jade Emperor to retrieve the True Spirit Ninefold Tower."
Boom!!!
A huge explosion sounded from outside the palace, seemingly not far from where they were.
"Seize the Heavenly Empress!"
"The fortunes of the Human Race are about to be exhausted!"
