Chapter 567: The Immortal Palace

Chapter 567: The Immortal Palace

"So, do I, Jin Sichou, and Ning Tou not have to stay here anymore?" Jin Sichou's doll-like face visibly lit up with joy.

Although, for beings like them, a million years might just pass by in the blink of an eye.

But she would definitely prefer to slowly experience the passing of time with Qi Yuan.

"Congratulations, my lord!" Ning Tou's beautiful eyes also shone with delight.

It seemed that her husband had reached an unfathomable realm.

"I was thinking that after entering the Yin Deity realm, I'd come here to slay the Grand Radiant Palace's Palace Lord, but... this unlucky fellow... was killed by you, Ning Tou." Qi Yuan casually remarked.

Ning Tou, constantly refining Stellar Core, had an awe-inspiring cultivation as well.

Moreover, the Stellar Cores here were all substantial, not mere starry shadows, and Ning Tou could draw upon the power of the Stellar Cores at any time.

In such a vast universe, it was bad luck for Grand Radiant Palace Lord to run into Ning Tou's line of fire.

When Ning Tou unleashed the power of a million Stellar Cores, even someone as powerful as Grand Radiant Palace Lord was instantly crushed.

After all, bigger is stronger, and more is better.

A single Stellar Core could rival a Yang Emperor.

And this wasn't even the sixth heaven of the Immortal Realm; the Stellar Cores were substantial.

The moment Grand Radiant Palace Lord encountered Ning Tou, he was doomed.

"So, he must have had too much good luck when he was young, leading to misfortune in his later years.

First, he met me, and later, in such a vast universe, he encountered you as well."

Qi Yuan sighed.

This universe was so immense, far surpassing the Divine Wood Universe in scale.

Even Qi Yuan, with his Heaven-Creating Realm battle prowess, couldn't traverse this entire universe.

"Condense!"

Qi Yuan made a move, and a ray of light landed on his first Stellar Core.

That Stellar Core, though small in size, was like a miniature sun, and the flames on it were exceptionally scorching.

The Devouring Rule descended upon this Stellar Core.

Then, the Devouring Rule continued to spread, terrifyingly fast, to other areas.

Each Stellar Core star began to possess the attribute of devouring.

"Speaking of devouring, one usually thinks of black holes. My Stellar Cores also have the devouring attribute. What's this called?"

Qi Yuan muttered to himself.

The Stellar Cores, with their devouring attribute, would automatically devour other stars.

Until... all the stars in this universe would become his Stellar Cores.

"Indeed, the power unleashed by these millions of Stellar Cores is even enough to crush a Sovereign of the Rule Realm." Qi Yuan sensed the might of the Stellar Core stars, feeling a hint of realization.

If he had more Stellar Cores, or even if the entire universe were his Stellar Cores, what kind of power would that be?

Ning Tou, dressed in a black skirt and standing barefoot in the void with stockings, gazed at the distant stars with a joyful expression in her eyes.

"This speed is much faster than when Jin Sichou and I refined the Stellar Cores," Jin Sichou remarked from the side.

"Now that I've finally entered the Yin Deity realm, the Stellar Cores can devour on their own. Moreover, I can... stare at someone and make them pregnant!" Qi Yuan said, looking at Ning Tou with a playful expression, "Do you want me to give it a try on you?"

"No!" Ning Tou quickly refused, as she was usually a bit of a yandere, though she rarely showed it, "I don't want to share my heart with anyone else."

"Me neither! I'm still young!" Jin Sichou also hurriedly added.

She covered her stomach.

Qi Yuan smiled, "Since you both disagree, I'll just stare at this planet!"

As Qi Yuan said this, he glared at a distant ordinary planet.

In that instant, countless rules began to flow.

It was as if a deity had sprinkled the water of life upon the world.

"This one, and that one..."

Qi Yuan kept staring at the planets.

One by one, the planets seemed to fall into the water of life.

Countless rules descended, transforming these planets.

After half a day, Qi Yuan finally stopped.

His eyes held a curious glint.

"Now, I've given these planets the chance to give birth to life. I wonder how many of them will eventually be able to support life."

He didn't create life directly.

With his current power, he could create life from nothing.

But there was no need; he wanted to see life emerge by chance.

"What a pity, even with my strength, I can't revive... the five ancestors of the Five Elements Forbidden Land. Must I enter the fifth layer of Yang Emperor and become a Dao Lord?"

Qi Yuan could now casually mark living beings, and if they perished, he could revive them in his netherworld at a cost.

However, before obtaining the netherworld, he couldn't resurrect the deceased.

To achieve resurrection, he had to enter the fifth layer of Yang Emperor, the Dao Lord realm.

Once he became a Dao Lord, the Cosmic Mother River would form, and the true spirits of all living beings could be found within it.

"I never thought that the promise made back then would still be unfulfilled after all this time." Qi Yuan sighed.

Back then, in the Five Elements Forbidden Land of the Moon Continent, the Five Ancestors sacrificed themselves to empower Qi Yuan's control over the land. As he cultivated the Five Elements, he had always wanted to revive these five individuals.

"Let's go... We'll return to the Immortal Realm. As for the lives here, let fate take its course. Who knows when some strange and wonderful creatures will emerge."

Qi Yuan had one arm around the Goldfinch and the other around Ning Tou as they returned to the Seven-Colored Peak.

First, he tasted his junior disciple's cooking, and he couldn't help but admit that her skills had improved significantly.

Later, he went to look for Jin Li and shared an intimate moment with her. As for how they got intimate, in vulgar terms, he lifted her skirt from behind.

...

Purple Origin Heaven.

A radiant light flashed, and a powerful figure appeared.

"Hahaha, I've finally entered the Yang Emperor realm!"

After so many years, Zi Yuan Dahu finally chose to break through to the Yang Emperor realm.

Zi Yuan Xiao Lu looked at her senior disciple with envy, "Congratulations, Senior Sister, for becoming the second Yang Emperor prodigy of our younger generation in Zi Yuan Tian!"

Speaking of this, Zi Yuan Xiao Lu recalled Blood Robe Senior Brother.

In the past, when Blood Robe Senior Brother revealed his Yang Emperor-level strength, it attracted the pursuit of the Ten Thousand Sun Venerable.

Zi Yuan Xiao Lu was worried, but the final outcome was beyond her expectations. Blood Robe Senior Brother led the Ten Thousand Sun Venerable into an unknown place, and he went alone to the Grand Radiant Palace, causing the descent of countless stars, which forced the Grand Radiant Palace to retreat into the Unique Palace.

At that time, the Sixfold Heaven truly trembled.

A hundred years have passed, and no one knows how Blood Robe Senior Brother is doing now. Those around them congratulated, "Congratulations to Zi Yuan Dahu Senior Sister for breaking through to the Yang Emperor realm."

However, some people whispered, "With the Lingya Transformation imminent, it's unwise to rashly enter the Yang Emperor realm."

The Lingya Transformation specifically targets Yang Emperor experts.

Ordinary Yin Emperor cultivators are almost unaffected by the Lingya Transformation.

But once you step into the Yang Emperor realm, it's a different story.

You never know when the Lingya Transformation might summon you.

The current Lingya Transformation, although not hosted by the Grand Radiant Palace, is far more intense than previous ones in terms of strength.

In just a hundred years of its opening, thousands of Yang Emperor cultivators have been summoned.

It is said that even a Venerable from the Supreme Reason Sect was among those summoned.

Zi Yuan Tian's Zi Yuan Ancestor, along with the Abyss Lord of White Dragon Abyss, and the Venerable from the Supreme Reason Sect, were all summoned to the Immortal Palace.

The Lingya Transformation has only been going on for a hundred years, and already, several Great Principle Realm experts have been summoned, indicating the terror of this Lingya Transformation.

Therefore, even Mythical Realm experts are trying to slow down their breakthrough speed, waiting for the Lingya Transformation to end before making their move.

Otherwise, it would be too unfortunate to perish during the Lingya Transformation.

"Sigh, my daughter, I don't know if your breakthrough is a blessing or a curse," Zi Yuan Tan said with a worried expression.

"Father, you're being too timid," Zi Yuan Dahu said nonchalantly, "Back then, that Blood Robe guy didn't even have an offensive Fortune Artifact, yet he dared to take action against the Demon Tyrant. What's the big deal about me breaking through to the Yang Emperor realm?"

Zi Yuan Tan gave his daughter a disapproving look, "Can you compare to the Blood Robe Venerable?"

Does she have any self-awareness?

Blood Robe possesses the strength of the Great Principle Realm, and in terms of power, he is comparable to a Venerable.

In the entire Sixfold Heaven, there are only a few experts as powerful as Blood Robe.

"This old lady can handle the Gui Water, can Blood Robe?" Zi Yuan Dahu boasted, "Everyone has their strengths. For example, Ice Sword Senior Brother is particularly good at laying eggs. Can Blood Robe compare to him?"

Not far away, Ice Sword's lips twitched upon hearing this.

In the year 1619, a young voice echoed, "I admit, when it comes to laying eggs, I can't compare to Ice Sword."

A handsome young man in a blood-red robe appeared, his face bearing a calm smile.

Upon seeing this person, all the Yang Emperor cultivators and disciples of Zi Yuan Tian were shaken to their core.

"Greetings, Blood Robe Venerable!"

"Greetings, Blood Robe Senior Brother!"

Beside them, Zi Yuan Xiao Lu clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

After a hundred years, Blood Robe Senior Brother had become even more handsome.

"Congratulations! You've finally broken through to the Yang Emperor realm, Sister Cow!" Qi Yuan looked at Zi Yuan Dahu and congratulated her.

"It's a pity, it's only the first layer of Yang Emperor, so weak," Zi Yuan Dahu said, sounding a bit disappointed.

Beside her, Zi Yuan Tan's eyes lit up with excitement, "Blood Robe Venerable, before our ancestor was summoned to the Immortal Palace, he left a message for you."

These years, he had been searching for Qi Yuan, but to no avail.

After all, if a Venerable wants to hide their whereabouts, even a Great Principle Realm expert couldn't find them.

(Chapter End)

"Oh, what did the old man say?" Qi Yuan asked.

Before coming, he had already learned about the Lingya Transformation and knew that thirty years ago, the Immortal Palace had opened, and the Purple Origin Patriarch had been summoned to the Immortal Palace.

This summons might be related to the destruction of the Grand Radiant Palace.

"The Patriarch said that in the Immortal Palace, he will cherish his life, so don't worry," Purple Origin Elder said.

He knew that the Patriarch was worried about Qi Yuan's impulsiveness.

"Rest assured, I'm not worried at all," Qi Yuan patted his hand, "I've already prepared a spot for him in the Underworld. If he dies, he dies."

Purple Origin Elder was stunned when she heard this.

Who talks like that?

If Blood Robe wasn't a Venerable or a Grand Principle, she would definitely have a serious talk with him.

"I have a question," Purple Origin Snow said, her face filled with confusion.

Everyone present looked at her with suspicion.

"As the saying goes, when a person dies, their soul flies to heaven. The Immortal Palace is located at the peak of the Sixth Heaven, which is the highest heaven in the Immortal Realm. If the Patriarch dies, where will his soul go?"

"..."

Qi Yuan listened carefully, "The Seventh Heaven?"

Although the Seventh Heaven has not yet been opened, and souls cannot enter, it is still considered a heaven, right?"

Not to mention, the Unique Palace is located in the Seventh Heaven.

The fugitives from the Grand Radiant Palace are also hiding in the Seventh Heaven.

Qi Yuan was thinking about when he would bring down the fugitives from the Grand Radiant Palace and put them to justice.

"The Seventh Heaven has not been opened yet," Purple Origin Snow said, "It's estimated that many Yang Emperors have to die before the Seventh Heaven can be opened."

The Sixth Heaven is the realm of the Grand Principle, opened by powerful beings after countless years.

As for the Seventh Heaven above, no one knows how many Lingya Transformations it would take to achieve.

If the Seventh Heaven were opened, perhaps the Venerables of the Grand Principle could take another step and enter the third layer of the Yang Emperor.

The souls in the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Realm could also gain insight.

At this moment, Qi Yuan closed his eyes and activated his superpower of enhanced hearing, listening intently.

"I'm a wolf!"

"I'm guilty, Blood Robe Venerable, I'm guilty!"

"I don't want to stay in the Unique Palace anymore!"

"I'm hungry!"

Amidst countless voices, Qi Yuan found those related to the Grand Radiant Palace.

"Since the Seventh Heaven hasn't been opened, can I enter it?"

"The Unique Palace in the Seventh Heaven is arbitrarily taking away my criminals, showing a lack of martial etiquette."

"I seem to hear my criminals begging for mercy, pleading for me to bring them back to the Sixth Heaven!"

"Look, these criminals are so well-behaved and follow the rules. How can I not bring them back?" Qi Yuan said.

Purple Origin Elder was taken aback for a moment, surprised by Qi Yuan's sudden change of topic, but she was used to it.

After all, her daughter, Purple Origin Snow, was always like this.

"Only with a decree from the Unique Palace can the Grand Radiant Palace bring souls into the Unique Palace. Others are not allowed."

"To enter the Unique Palace, one must wait for the opening of the Seventh Heaven," Purple Origin Elder replied.

"The Immortal Palace is located at the peak of the Sixth Heaven. If I enter the Immortal Palace, will I have a chance to go to the Seventh Heaven?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Once the Immortal Palace is closed, it's estimated that it won't open until the Lingya Transformation ends, and only then can those inside leave," Purple Origin Elder said, "However, the next time the Immortal Palace opens is probably a hundred years from now. Blood Robe Venerable only needs to wait a hundred years, and he might be able to enter the Immortal Palace, but..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

The Patriarch had instructed Blood Robe not to worry about Purple Origin Patriarch entering the Immortal Palace to avoid any mishaps.

"A hundred years is too long. I'll go and take a look at the Immortal Palace myself," Qi Yuan said, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

Purple Origin Elder's eyes showed a helpless expression.

As expected, Blood Robe Venerable didn't listen to advice.

Fortunately, once the Immortal Palace's door is closed, no one can open it.

In the past, three Venerables had joined forces to try to open the Immortal Palace's door, but even with their strength, they couldn't harm the Immortal Palace in the slightest, let alone open it.

Purple Origin Elder didn't believe that Qi Yuan could open the Immortal Palace's door.

After all, even the powerful Venerables had to bow their heads before the Unique Palace.

Not to mention, Blood Robe's strength was likely weaker than that of the Ten Sun Venerable; otherwise, he wouldn't have used a scheme to deceive and remove the Ten Sun Venerable before plotting against the Grand Radiant Palace.

Currently, the Ten Sun Venerable's star projection was still in the Star Sea, indicating that he had not fallen yet.

What he didn't know was that Qi Yuan had already devoured the Ten Sun Venerable's position.

Meanwhile, in the Supreme Reason Sect.

A whispered voice echoed.

"He... has appeared again."

"He offended the Unique Palace. I wonder how the Unique Palace will deal with him."

"He has comprehended two supreme Grand Principles... Is he worth investing in... to help him hide from the Lingya Transformation."

"This Lingya Transformation is different."
