The voice was cold and ethereal and had no clear source. It wasn't the typical sharp-sounding voice of a eunuch you'd hear on a TV drama passing along imperial orders.

Of course, the heavenly palace was a little different from the mortal world. The pavilions, towers, and temples were on a different level, not to mention other trivial details.

Zong Yan stood in the center of the Great Immortal Dais, unapproachable and serene, with an incomparably cold expression on his face. He seemed suffused with a brilliant divine light, and no one dared to meet his eyes.

The chill of the Nine Heavens Black Iron formed tongues of mist that curled around the hem of his crane cloak, seeming to obscure his form behind a hazy layer of ground glass. It was an eerie sight that struck the hearts of those who saw him.

Besides, this god was truly famous.

Many of the gods and goddesses on the surrounding clouds were sighing to themselves.

When the heavenly palace was founded, the first cohort of immortals who came into existence became the ministers of the Emperor of Heaven, who was known as the Great Unity, the God of the Eastern Sky. These gods included the King of Clouds, the God of the Xiang, the Lord of the East, and the Greater Master of Fate.

The Great Unity, the Emperor of the East, had a deep friendship with the immortals who built the heavenly palace of the Jiu Ge with him. Therefore, after the palace was established, these immortals were granted positions as supreme gods who commanded the laws of heaven and earth.

The Lord of the East was the Sun God, while the Greater Master of Fate controlled the cycle of reincarnation. The King of Clouds resided beyond the clouds of the heavens, and the God of the Xiang represented water.

After the thrones of the superior gods of the Jiu Ge were established, few of the gods who came later enjoyed such high privileges.

For many years, regardless of any internal conflicts among them, the superior gods were cordial to each other, at least on the surface. Besides, each of these gods lived deep in seclusion. In recent years, lesser gods and immortals occupied the world stage. They rarely crossed paths with the mighty ones who preceded them.

So when the heavenly palace announced the punishment of Yun Zhong Jun, everyone was stunned.

Yun Zhong Jun's character was aloof, but he was no stranger to any of the immortals who'd survived from ancient times.

The clouds he wielded were deadly, and he dwelled in the Palace of Longevity beyond the Ninth Heaven, shining with the light of the sun and the moon. In elder days he was a mighty force in battle, slaying all enemies, and even overshadowed the elegant Lord of the East.

Lesser deities had little opportunity to encounter such a great being. Today, seeing him on the Great Immortal Dais, they couldn't help but feel the force of his aura, majestic and indifferent.

Of course, everyone in the crowd had the same question—

What exactly had this immortal monarch done to be punished by His Majesty the Emperor of the East?

This was no ordinary chastisement. Usually the gods turned a blind eye to each other's deeds. This time, not only was the eye not blind, the emperor had actually invoked the Great Immortal Dais. It was obvious he had no intention of being lenient.

The newly-issued decree had now spread throughout the world, and the punishment wasn't light.

This wasn't like being told to face the wall and think about your actions. It was being relegated to the mortal world, deprived of all divine power, becoming a mortal ah!
