While Xu Qing and Star Ring were fighting…
Outside the Immortal Palace, beyond the Western Starfield of the Fifth Star Ring, at the peak of the Eastern Starfield.
There stood a million towering towers.
From afar, they seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.
Each tower shone with the brilliance of starlight, positioned as if mirroring the principal stars of the vast heavens.
Iron chains of order connected these towering constructs.
At the heart of this formation stood a single tower, rising far above the others. Its radiance was so intense that it bathed the sky in a magnificent glow.
This tower was one of the main towers of the Star Ring Tower.
In the tower, an old man in a Daoist robe was looking toward the West with his hands behind his back.
