Chapter 193: The Young Supreme of the Nine Palaces Visits

Chapter 193: The Young Supreme of the Nine Palaces Visits

Yuan Dong Tian Palace.

In a wooden house nestled on a mountainside, two young men sat facing each other, with the elder among them sharing the details of the Heritage Ancient Path.

"The Heritage Ancient Path contains great fortune and opportunity. To enter the Ancient Path, you must first obtain a quota from the Spirit Realm, which is divided into eight districts in the Floating Hell Province, and each district can only accommodate one billion True Seed warriors."

"Senior Brother, is this quota the same as the one you obtained from the Palace recently?" the younger man asked.

"No, this quota is just a formality for us."

He Xiao shook his head.

"The quota issued by the Palace is a coordinate representing an important opportunity."

"The Heritage Ancient Path opens at irregular intervals, but over the past million years, it has opened many times. The generations of the Palace have explored and summarized its patterns, discovering many significant opportunities. Some opportunities are sustainable, while others require time to nurture..."

Qi Yunfei nodded slightly.

In a moment, the young man's eyes widened in surprise, "You said there's a division, but even the Vassal King is just a threshold for that Senior Brother's disciple."

Everyone fell silent.

"Alright, it's time for you to go out and warm up. I'll accompany you in a few days to practice."

Some of the representatives, led by Yuan He from Yuan Dong Tian Palace, had their pupils dilate, finally understanding why this fellow dared to be so confident three days ago. A young Supreme who had stepped into the Forbidden Sequence was like an unbeatable card! In the vast Floating Hell Province, there were not enough peers to rival him!

The young man became solemn, feeling that he had learned something new from his Senior Brother's caution.

On the high platform, guests from other civilizations were seated in the audience, while the powerful figures from various Palaces took their places in the main seats, conversing with each other.

The young man wondered if He Xiao, the famous figure of Yuan Dong Tian Palace, was actually just an empty show.

The Ancient Path couldn't accommodate so many people, so it automatically created a selection mechanism.

"Due to the limitations of the Heritage Ancient Path, the highest cultivation level of these indigenous beings won't exceed a certain threshold."

"Junior Brother, in ten days, it's time for the quota selection for the Heritage Ancient Path. I'll personally send you to the Eastern Region of the Spirit Realm."

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

At that time, you'll owe me a favor, and I'll do you a favor.

After a moment, He Xiao frowned slightly, lost in thought. The young man volunteered to gather intelligence on the "enemy" for his Senior Brother.

Lin Tanian, even after witnessing it, muttered in disbelief, "It's really... the Forbidden Sequence..."

He Xiao's heart was determined to test the other's strength and find their weaknesses...

"I'm starting to believe that this Senior Brother Ji might truly have extraordinary abilities."

At this moment, it was as if a giant cloud vortex was hovering above his head, with the low-hanging vortex heart right above the blade tip. An unprecedented sense of oppression descended, and the heavens seemed to be stirred by this, ready to overturn!

The young man exclaimed, "Senior Brother, how do you fight this? Even if you break through to the Divine Journey Realm, it's hard to match a Heart Image Warrior, right?"

"It's not that simple." He Xiao's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said indifferently, "This person is very likely a formidable opponent. That statement was indeed excessive, but this person can't be a useless person! For the sake of Yuan He's face and mine, in the next few days, I need to prepare well. You don't need to come in these few days."

"This is just a formality for most True Seed warriors, but for you, it's different. You can seize this opportunity to climb the mountain peak, leaving your name for eternity! In history, no Forbidden Sequence warrior has ever climbed the peak and looked down upon their peers!"

This was the Palace Master of the Palace of Crimson Light, different from Gu Chensha, the acting Palace Master. This person was one of the true "owners" of the Nine Palaces.

"Not bad, letting that Yuan He take the lead and seize the two quotas of the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace, is truly outrageous!"

The young man knew that top-notch geniuses like his Senior Brother would try to break through to the Divine Journey Realm after entering the Ancient Path.

But for some reason, He Xiao suddenly let out a long howl and took action without holding back! Just as everyone was puzzled, He Xiao, who took action without restraint, seemed to crumble with just one touch, like an empty show! He couldn't even receive a single move...

He decided to directly follow the path of the Nine Palaces, entering the Heritage Ancient Path.

Looking at the person who came to demand a person, Yao Heishan was also speechless for a moment.

Only he knew how domineering and powerful that strike, which didn't indulge in the mortal world, truly was.

He sighed softly, his gaze turning to the representatives in the audience seats, and he smiled indifferently, "It's fine. I have a young Supreme from the Nine Palaces, and it's not something that can't be seen. It's only right that all clans enjoy and share this."

Hearing this person's words, the several powerful figures of the Nine Palaces slightly bowed, dispelling the suppression towards the audience seats.

...

Ji Jingqiu's movements were graceful and free as he raised his blade, and without any hesitation, he slashed towards He Xiao, not even unsheathing his blade, but still managed to suppress He Xiao."

"A duel with the person from the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace?"

"Huh... how did the person from the Palace of Crimson Light also come?"

"You're not yet qualified to compete for this quota. What you should consider now is how to survive in the Ancient Path. Only by surviving and going further will you obtain more opportunities and fortune."

"Yuan He?"

He wasn't sure if he had seen incorrectly, and he turned back to look. The people who had originally mocked him for seeking a quota and becoming a servant were now filled with bewilderment on their faces.

"Those with the surname Long, don't be reckless. Where is Ji Jingqiu? The Ancient Road of Heritage requires advance registration, and the warriors of the various families have already begun to enter."

After this, the elder, Gu Chensha, who had been sitting, stood up as a sign of respect for the elder.

"Let the younger generation witness what it means to be a young Supreme. Only by recognizing one's own shortcomings can there be motivation to improve."

They all sat back down, their gazes fixed on Ji Jingqiu's arena.

Gu Chensha asked in confusion, "A gift? Yuan Dong Tian Palace has two strands of Nine Chi-level top-grade Spirit Energy?"

The internal exchange tournament of the Nine Palaces was underway, with hundreds of arenas operating simultaneously.

Everyone agreed.

Lu Tong chuckled, "The Forbidden Threshold dictates that the Forbidden Sequence should not meet at this stage. We don't want any accidents to happen to you, the most talented warriors, due to early conflicts, and eventually withdraw prematurely."

Everyone was surprised. Was there still a need for this exchange tournament? At this moment, in the Nine Palaces, who among the True Seed Realm could be a match for Ji Jingqiu? Even if Grand Crimson Heaven Sovereign returned from the Great Crimson Heaven, he might not be able to last long against Ji Jingqiu.

In some Second Tier Civilizations, there might be only one Vassal King in a lifetime.

This was not about letting the younger generation gain experience, but clearly about showing the representatives of various civilizations just how extraordinary the young Supreme of the Nine Palaces was!

A group of powerful Nine Palaces warriors stood up, their emotions visibly stirred.

In a sense, it was similar to the Federation's utilization of Hera.

Someone sighed, "After 370,000 years, our Nine Palaces finally welcomes another young Supreme! And it happens during this transformative era, what a heavenly blessing!"

On the arena...

"Oh?" Qi Yunfei's gaze swept past the representative of Yuan Dong Tian Palace, who had apparently heard some rumors beforehand. He spoke with a light tone, "Since we're all on the same side, and this isn't a dispute over the Dao, let's not stir up any trouble. If we each take a step back, you'll find that the world is still as brilliant and beautiful as ever."

As the blades clashed, He Xiao's heart trembled. Not only did the sword transmit a powerful force that numbed his arms, but this strike also carried a sense of invincibility, accompanied by a strong mental power that suppressed his spirit.

It was like a lion pouncing on a rabbit.

"Ancestor, Jingqiu sent us a letter." Shi Xuanzhen handed over a letter from Ji Jingqiu.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Ji Jingqiu's Regret

"Grand Crimson Heaven actually took in such a young second-generation disciple. This boy does look the part." Someone whispered.

Today, it was not Ji Jingqiu who needed to change and reshape his concepts, but them, as well as the Nine Palaces and all the young Supremes!...

The Ancient Road of Heritage was imbued with great fortune and opportunity, and many civilizations were aware of this.

The young man nodded.

Therefore, many Supremes were willing to suppress themselves for a decade or more, just to wait for the Ancient Road to open and compete for the great fortune within.

A Vassal King warrior could dominate among his peers in lower civilizations, fostering an aura of invincibility. However, once this warrior entered a higher civilization, witnessed a broader world, and realized that he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well, this aura of invincibility would dissipate with the wind...

The Grand Crimson Heaven Sovereign smiled faintly, "Continue the great martial arts, everyone, please sit back down."

A young Supreme?! Who was he? The one from Grand Crimson Heaven Palace?! Many people subconsciously looked towards Lu Zhen's back, could it be that this guy already knew?

Just then.

Gu Chensha spoke calmly, "Senior Brother Qi will see it soon enough."

According to the intentions of several senior brothers and uncles, the three coordinates were too far apart, and the coordinates were not exclusive to the Nine Palaces. Ji Jingqiu couldn't possibly run to all these places in time.

"Pass it on. All civilizations under the Nine Palaces will celebrate for ten years, and offerings will be waived for a decade!"

A...letter?

Before they even clashed, he had already fallen behind in their aura confrontation! This guy was indeed a worthy opponent, no wonder he had prepared for three days, bringing his state to the peak! He cupped his fists and said solemnly, "Yuan Dong Tian Palace, He Xiao, please give me guidance!"

Several powerful individuals glared, not allowing anyone to leave at this moment and leak the news.

Long Qingyang's gaze focused, and after taking the letter and reading it, he nodded.

Ji Jingqiu was safe and sound, which was good.

Ji Jingqiu returned the greeting.

In addition to the civilizations under his command, the Nine Palaces had also invited some independent free forces, which was also a way to demonstrate the strength of the Nine Palaces.

Lu Zhen's back straightened.

A long sword, still sheathed, without a trace of fire or smoke, suddenly smashed towards him! He Xiao was initially just shocked by the sword's power, but he hadn't expected his opponent to take the initiative. He originally wanted to retreat, but suddenly realized that no matter what, he couldn't escape.

It was like the Floating Hell Province, divided into eight competition zones. Compared to the terrifying population base of the Floating Hell Province, the threshold wasn't actually that low.

"Begin."

He Xiao's expression was calm, and he didn't comment on this. As a Vassal King at the Apex, Yuan Dong Tian Palace had already prepared a suitable fortune for his martial path, and he didn't need to compete with others.

Was the gap between the Forbidden Threshold and the Apex Vassal King really that big? Even a single strike couldn't stop it?

Qi Yunfei looked towards Gu Chensha and spoke gently, "Chensha, I heard you have a new junior brother. Why don't you bring him over for us seniors to see?"

Long Qingyang coughed, "Old Yao is one of us. You just spoke out what we were thinking."

Many young Supremes, after entering the Holy Land of the Nine Palaces, would experience a complete overturn of their thoughts and concepts, deeply realizing how far they still had to go.

Especially when it came to the "Spirit Realm" that Uncle Lu had mentioned.

Someone suddenly realized and turned their head towards the seats for the invited audience, where a mighty pressure descended, blocking the entire arena and making it hard for people to breathe.

"Indeed, it's the arrangement of the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace, isn't it?"

Accompanied by a moment of scrutiny, He Xiao's expression gradually became solemn, for he felt he could not see through the depths of the other.

"Besides the dangerous realms, celestial disasters, and mythical creatures, the most dangerous on the Ancient Road are the other true seed warriors and the 'Indigenous Beings'!"

With furrowed brows, Yang heishan growled, and said:

Someone began to reassess Ji Jingqiu.

Upon hearing it was a letter from Ji Jingqiu, He Xiaosan only thought he might have misheard.

As one of the Nine palaces, Ji Shuai, when it was also the eve of the opening of the Ancient Road, this internal competition was the last showdown of the young generation of the Nine Palaces.

Ji Jingqiu was highly interested in the spirit realm, for according to ancient records, this was a virtual world constructed by the mind of a deity.

In the midst of their conversation, suddenly other sect brothers came to visit, bringing with them a high-level order.

Three days later, a light laughter sounded.

Federation.

He Xiaosan's brows rose, with a heavy sigh.

Following this, the rest of the mighty ones sat down again.

The great crimson heaven lineage, did he not pinch his nose and offer both hands?

Everyone spoke in hushed tones.

The Archduke only saw his threshold... He Xiaosan faintly, muttered, "These words have indeed been said, even if it was the Great Qingwei Tian’s Feng Shixiong, he would not dare to say it like this."

"To take a slot in the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace, the result was that the ancient ancestor harshly humiliated a disciple, saying to gain a slot, make a junior disciple of his... Uh, a follower, actually a servant."

"But no matter how one says it, these coordinates all represent a creation, for us, it is a must to strive for."

The audience seats, representatives of various civilizations finally relaxed, many immediately gave their blessings, congratulating the Nine Palaces for having such a prodigious talent, in this vast world, worry-free! Many of the Nine Palaces' civilization were even more spirited, the Nine Palaces of this generation took a taboo, a quasi-taboo, said no more than two taboos were left, already casting other Overlord-class powers behind!

How to say it, Ji Jingqiu indeed had already arrived at the Ancient Road, and did not know where to go, temporarily out of contact?

"Return, Brother, this kid is still traveling, will return in a few days." Someone replied.

Many of the mighty ones either focused on their own disciples or let their thoughts cover the entire scene, without any omissions.

This letter, He Xiaosan explained, recounting his recent progress, then neatly organized the Ancient Road materials, entrusting them to Qian Chong to send back.

...

Yuan He's lips twitched.

He Xiaosan shook his head and explained, "The Ancient Road is divided into sections, only at the deepest can one encounter a Fifth-Rank Power, the outskirts will not exceed Fourth-Rank."

He Xiaosan's heart suddenly stiffened.

Therein lies the ancient road's heritage selection mechanism.

Everyone burst into low laughter, fiery eyes never leaving Ji Jingqiu, this was their first encounter with a living taboo-sequence warrior, inevitably feeling a bit perplexed.

Such warriors, they are too many.

"Huh, how do you say that the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace must lose? The ancient uncle was straightforward, but not foolish, a change in numbers has occurred."

"To which area will the other three taboos go, Ji Jingqiu asked.

"Have you heard that the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace and the Yuan Dongtian Palace set a bet a few days ago?"

What age is this?

The original seated mighty ones' expressions suddenly turned solemn, standing up, looking at a man walking towards them with a stern demeanor, his body shimmering with light, that was the embodiment of divinity, forming a halo behind him, as if a deity had just arrived.

"Ji Jingqiu, but is this our first seed, is this a joke? If delayed any longer, Ji Jingqiu will not be qualified for the Ancient Road, this responsibility you cannot bear!"

In this way, with the prosperity of the nine continents, the number entering has become quite alarming.

He glanced at Yao Heishan, somewhat hesitantly.

Among the crowd, the one standing there, slowly stood up, gazing at the spot, his expression indifferent, his tall and proud posture, a faint smile slowly spread across his face.

...

"Brother, when it's time, you will beat him severely, we will have gained two more slots in the Yuan Dongtian Palace!"

The young man was stunned, only then did he understand the true meaning of the slot, involving significant fortune, for a warrior, it meant a transformation.

The so-called invincible, from ancient times until now, has always been relative.

"The seniors in the palace recorded these important coordinates for the descendants to use. Some of the coordinates were exclusive to the palace, others were controlled by multiple powers, even if you obtained a slot, you might not be able to seize it."

"How to say it?"

The group of true seed realm warriors, upon hearing the Lord of the Crimson Bright Palace, were instantly startled.

"How, shall we also bet?"

This man, his aura deep and solemn, hard to fathom, with a quality that was hard to describe, making him feel very oppressed, as if restrained by a celestial enemy.

He sighed softly, "No wonder many are eying the slots in the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace."

"Heh, today is a good show."

Dong3 Huang Star.

Speaking of the spirit realm and the mountain climb, Ji Jingqiu also had some anticipation.

"Eh, the first battle was with this person and Yuan Dongtian Palace? Who arranged it?"

The figure-like Shi Xuanzhen, took large strides over.

In the records of the Nine Palaces, the so-called spirit realm is akin to a virtual network, it is said to be a virtual spirit world constructed by a deity's mind, even if the deity falls, the spirit realm still persists. Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

The man smiled and said, "Before the Ancient Road opens, I wanted to see if there are any talented individuals in this generation of the Nine Palaces."

At this moment,

Yao Heishan approached with skepticism, "Is this really Ji Jingqiu's letter? What did he write, and where is he that he's contacting you through a letter?"

With just one strike, he was forced to kneel on one knee, losing the qualification to continue fighting!

The crowd had mixed reactions; some agreed, some remained silent, and others frowned at Gu Chensha, wanting to speak but stopping short, still harboring doubts about Ji Jingqiu's background.

His strength was not weak, but his seniority was somewhat low. At this moment, he was addressing a True Seed Realm warrior as his grandmaster uncle.

This road doesn't consider age, only cultivation realm.

Even the Principle of Law he invoked was shattered by some invisible force!

Among the crowd, Lu Tong's expression was slightly dazed.

"I think so too. It feels like that person didn't want to lend the quota and intentionally provoked the other party. It's just that I don't know how it eventually turned into a battle between us and the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace," Lu Tong said.

Lu Tong strode in with a relaxed and graceful demeanor, and said with a smile,

This strike was light and airy, without any hint of aggression, likely a test.

Amidst the light laughter, the atmosphere among the strong warriors of the various Palaces was relatively harmonious and relaxed.

"Throughout the generations, there has never been a lack of Celestial Prodigy Warriors who defied the odds and ascended to the Apex. These indigenous beings are no different from those mythical creatures, and they are also a test of the Ancient Road," Lu Tong said.

Compared to the other Eight Palaces, although the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace had a slightly weaker foundation, with the emergence of a young Supreme like Ji Jingqiu in this generation, the next thousand years, or even ten thousand years, will undoubtedly be led by the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace! Perhaps they should reconsider and send a friendly signal, giving their martial arts seeds another choice...

Someone suddenly asked, "Has Feng Wu of the Great Microcosmic Heaven returned?"

After gathering the information, the young man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, I've investigated clearly, and it seems to have a suspicion of showboating."

He Xiao was undeniably at the Apex, and with just one strike, he made his opponent lose the battle, all while appearing so calm and carefree.

But most people were staring at Ji Jingqiu on the stage, unable to speak for a long time.

What had happened? Was He Xiao just all talk, or...

He had reached the Apex three years ago, and if it weren't for the great fortune and opportunity of the Ancient Road, he would have broken through his realm long ago.

With the senior brother's agreement, the young man immediately became excited and said,

In the eyes of such a young Supreme who had crossed the Taboo Sequence, what's the big deal about a Vassal King warrior? Even if it's a Vassal King, so what? After witnessing He Xiao unable to last even one round, no matter how unbelievable it seemed to everyone, everything had become a fait accompli.

He Xiao pointed sternly at the junior brother in front of him and said,

The young warriors around them gradually opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with astonishment.

They had thought it might be Yuan He's arrangement, after all, these were two important quotas, and it was best to secure them early for peace of mind, to avoid any unexpected situations. But they never imagined that it was actually the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace's arrangement!

The crowd looked at Gu Chensha with suspicion.

"It feels a bit interesting. I actually sense a hint of invincible intent from this young man, but I don't know if this trace of invincibility will be crushed in the upcoming battles," Lu Tong said.

"I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see another young Supreme in the Nine Palaces. The Great Crimson Heavenly Palace's method of nurturing disciples is indeed well-known," Lu Tong said.

Yuan He held back his breath and pinched his nose, "Senior Brother Gu... What a talent! For such a peerless genius, I, Yuan Dong Tian Palace, am willing to bestow upon Junior Brother Ji a strand of top-grade Spirit Energy."

He Xiao looked at the young man holding the knife in front of him, understanding that his specialty was likely blade techniques.

In the current situation, a young Taboo in the Nine Palaces is the embodiment of "Righteousness"! If he were to directly ask for Spirit Energy from Yuan Dong Tian Palace, with Righteousness as the priority, how could Yuan Dong Tian Palace refuse?

But even he didn't dare to underestimate any Vassal King. Those who can enter this realm are radiant suns, towering over their peers, no matter which side they belong to.

He Xiao's hairs stood on end as he sensed extreme danger.

"Hmm, I see the Great Crimson Palace's Ji... Er, Grandmaster Uncle Ji," someone said, sounding slightly displeased at the end.

The plan had changed, and when he entered earlier, he didn't expect Mother Mu's arrangements to be so "thorough." Returning to the Federation at this point was clearly unrealistic.

Driven by the instinct for survival, he shouted in anger, not bothering to test or hold back. After adjusting for several days, his spirit, energy, and vitality surged like a flood, allowing him to fight with full strength! But to outsiders,

The crowd bowed in unison, and someone asked curiously, "Palace Master Qi, why are you here?"

It could only be a Supreme who was not on the radar of various families!

Aside from the two Vassal Kings, this generation of the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace didn't have any outstanding warriors, so the extra quota would likely be wasted. It's better to give it to the Federation as a favor, and they can also use this to observe the Federation's attitude, preparing for future interactions.

Long Qingyang paused for a moment and said, "He's in the Nine Provinces."

Yao Heishan was slightly taken aback and said irritably, "He was supposed to be in the Nine Provinces at this time! We originally planned to send him to a First-Class Civilizational Power in the Oasis, but now it's all been delayed by you! What kind of fortune could be more important than the Ancient Road?"

Long Qingyang spoke solemnly, "I'm not joking, he's indeed in the Nine Provinces, and there's a gateway to the Nine Provinces on Dong3 Huang Star. According to the letter, he recently joined an Overlord-Class Power and will follow their path, entering the Ancient Road of Heritage."

Yao Heishan's expression turned blank, "If you're not joking, even if we're old friends, don't blame me if I turn hostile."
