Lord of the Celestial Throne
His fate was predetermined: fight, defend, and perish with the stars, a mere cog in the great machinery of creation. But something within him resisted this cruel fate. A seed of defiance sprouted in his heart, whispering of freedom. He sought a way to transcend the cosmic chains—to escape, to defy destiny, to seize freedom at any cost. As a mortal, he felt the agony of watching his loved ones wither and die, powerless to stop the decay of time. He wept for children, lovers, friends. As an emperor, he conquered kingdoms and wielded unimaginable power, only to be betrayed by those he trusted most, dragged from his throne, and executed in shame. As a beggar, he wandered the streets, starving and shivering under the cold gaze of uncaring gods. As a villain, he became the monster in stories told to frighten children—burning cities, drowning nations in blood, only to be hunted and killed by the heroes of those same tales. As a saint, he gave everything—his wealth, his strength, his life—to others, only to discover that gratitude was fleeting and the world did not remember the sacrifices of the righteous. But, Every failure, every death, every betrayal—they were nothing but steps on a long, infinite path. And the path had only one direction: up, through the layers of existence, through the fabric of reality itself. No prison could contain him. No curse could hold him. His heart whispered one thing to him, a truth carved into his soul:Move forward. Always forward. Because he was Li Shenrong—the Lord of the Celestial Throne.
World seal.
Li shenrong slowly stood up as he felt his legs going numb. Extreme hunger and weakness assaulted him making him feel dizzy.
"Shit. My body is so weak it cannot even tolerate hunger. I need to eat." Li shenrong quickly left the mountain peak.
Plain locust sect was located on the far east of sword sea continent. Sword sea continent was divided into five section. East, West, North, South and Middle territory.
East territory has the weakest force and middle territory was filled with experts, the strongest sects and clans.
Although in east territory plain locust sect was the strongest force but compared to the forces of other territories it was not worth mentioning.
News of Blossom flower sect, Cicada devil sect, Black iron sect, Mount hua sect, Armed demon sect and Golden buddha mountains defeat against Plain locust sect spread far and wide. The other two great sect who had not joined the coalition felt glad. They quickly prepared many congratulatory gift for the sect master of plain locust.
The battle of how sect master of locust sect defeated and killed the other six sect master circulated among all the cultivators. Jessy's popularity rose even more, her followers and admirers gossiped about how valiant she is and so on.
She was the strongest cultivator of the east. But after this battle her title as the number one was set in throne.
Wherever disciples of locust sect went they were respected. Many smaller sects wanted to climb up locust sects thigh. Meanwhile the other six defeated sect surrendered completely without any resistance. Since their sect master was captured what can they do by themselves.
Jessy and the whole of locust sect was extremely busy, dealing with internal and external affairs.
Jessi was reading a paper, learning about the recent news of middle territory as her ears picked up faint knocking on the door.
"You may enter." She responded without looking.
"How have you been?" A familiar cheerful voice entered her ears which made her startled.
"Ah! Young lord I apologise for my rudeness." Jessi was about to stand up but was quickly pushed back to her seat by li shenrong.
"You don't have to be so formal with me. You can call me shenrong from now on." He looked outside from the window and said.
Li shenrong sat in front of her as he poured himself a cup of water.
"You came from somewhere else right?" He said with a smile.
Jessi didn't deny it as she quickly gave him a general explanation of how she had first arrived and told him her experience.
"Earth huh? A lower world it seems. A lower world with unique power system. If possible i would like to visit your world is that okay with you?" Li shenrong asked.
Hearing him jessi felt very ecstatic, she can finally go back to her home.
"The dao injury you suffered is not from the sea god, it is from the guardian beast of the northern sea. It is a beast who had reached the dao and became a true godly beast. You are extremely fortunate to be able to meet it and lived to tell the tale.
For some strange reason a dao gate opened and teleported you in this world.
The moment you stepped into this world, heavenly dao restricted your growth with a seal. So even after all these years your dao injury never healed and you couldn't go past the dao sovereign realm. " Li shenrong patiently explained to her
"A seal? Why would heavenly dao put a seal on me?"
Jessi asked with a frown. No wonder she wasn't able to progress no matter how hard she tried.
"What will you do if an unknown guest visits your house? Of course you cannot chase him out but you can keep an eye on him. To this world you are a foreign guest and with a seal the heavenly dao is restricting you."
"But why is there any need for restrictions? I am not doing anything to harm the world." Jessi felt very dissatisfied.
"Balance." Li shenrong didn't mind her indignation as he continued to explain.
"Heavenly dao sought balance, when there is an imbalance it sends down tribulation to fix it. This world cannot affect a foreign guest with its tribulation so it can only seal your growth.
If it doesn't seal your growth you will grow stronger and destroy the power balance of this world.
Many in history destroyed the world seal by themselves and became supreme emperor."
