Senluo Demon Palace.
The night moon hung high, stars dotted the sky. Under a pine tree, Ye Xuan leaned against it, gazing at the vast galaxy, allowing the moonlight to sprinkle on him, making him appear immaculate, devoid of any worldly aura.
A gentle breeze blew by, slightly stirring Ye Xuan’s hair. He appeared tranquil at this mont, as if savoring a rare peace.
"Undying Heavenly Lord?"
The breeze passed, and the moonlight drifted. Ye Xuan’s eyes focused, and a murmuring sound ca from his mouth.
Buzz!
The Heavenly Punishnt Halberd rippled out from his brow, and the Bronze Ancient Scripture floated beside him. Ye Xuan quietly watched these two items, a hint of hesitation flickering in his eyes.
The Heavenly Punishnt Halberd was the weapon of the Undying Heavenly Lord, and the Bronze Ancient Scripture belonged to him as well. It could be said that since Ye Xuan was in the Human World, he had been intricately connected with the Undying Heavenly Lord.
The Undying Heavenly Palace was a place he must go to because that was where the Primordial Spirit was. Ye Xuan couldn’t watch it die without trying to save it, as it was his Enlightennt Master. If he stood idly by, he couldn’t get through this hurdle within himself.
Yet Ye Xuan was well aware of one thing: if he truly went to the Undying Heavenly Palace, these two treasures might be seized by the palace, as both the Heavenly Punishnt Halberd and the Bronze Immortal Scripture originally belonged to the Undying Heavenly Lord.
The Undying Heavenly Lord, ranked fourth among the Twelve Supre Beings, was an existence second only to the top three Supres, a figure exceedingly terrifying.
Each Supre has a title: Chaos, Destiny, Space-Ti... From these titles, one can see the powers each person wields.
Immortal!
A simple two-word title, yet it bore the weight of the ancient heavens, exerting pressure on Ye Xuan’s chest, making it difficult to breathe. The significance these words carried was not simple.
Being called Immortal ant the Undying Heavenly Lord was unimaginably powerful, far beyond what he could face now.
Although the Master of Space-Ti had told him that the Eternal Supres would not act against Supre seeds, the Undying Heavenly Palace had existed for eons. Without the Undying Heavenly Lord’s involvent, just one powerful figure could end his life.
"You cannot go!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ye Xuan’s mind, belonging to Gai Tianyuan, long absent.
Since Ye Xuan entered the Space-Ti Divine Palace, Gai Tianyuan had kept silent and withdrawn himself completely, knowing that his presence would be detected when facing the Eternal Supres.
Only now had he reawakened, also advising Ye Xuan at this mont.
"Why can’t I go?" Ye Xuan asked in a low voice.
"Because you will die," Gai Tianyuan stated quietly.
"The Undying Heavenly Palace, ranking fourth among the Ten Supre Daoist traditions, is known for its heavy slaughter. If you truly go, there’s no way you’d walk out alive," warned Gai Tianyuan.
"But I must save soone, knowing the road ahead is perilous, yet I must tread it." Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
"But you will surely die," Gai Tianyuan reiterated solemnly.
"Die?"
A smile curled at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth, but it was sparse, carrying an indescribable aning.
"Don’t worry, I won’t die, for I have one last resort," Ye Xuan murmured.
...
The Undying Heavenly Palace sat atop the firmant’s peak.
The ancient black hall stood eternal, beams of terrifying Light of Slaughter crossed heaven and earth, accompanied by the sound of the Immortals’ chanting within the ancient hall.
Dong—— Dong—— Dong!
A black ancient bell swung atop the firmant, emitting sounds reminiscent of morning chis and evening drums, black ripples spreading to the eight corners of the Heavenly Vault, while terrifying figures approached the Undying Heavenly Palace from all directions.
Today, the Undying Heavenly Palace was unusually quiet. Many significant figures had been gradually erging because the Dharma Body of the Undying Heavenly Lord was about to descend upon the palace. To the palace, this event had not occurred for several eras.
Since the end of the fourth era, the Undying Heavenly Lord had road the Chaos. No one knew his whereabouts. Today’s descent of his Dharma Body shook the entire palace to its core.
And the source of all this was one person, an individual considered but an ant by the Undying Heavenly Palace, a person nad Ye Xuan.
Beneath the firmant.
Ye Xuan, Luo Hou, Lu Yaoxing, and a Senluo Sect Hierarch stood there, gazing up at the eternally ancient hall.
"Young friend Ye, I’ll leave you here. If you return alive, the Senluo Demon Palace will surely repay this favor," the Sect Hierarch sighed softly and drifted away.
Rumble!
"The Heavenly Lord summons you."
As the majestic voice spread across the boundless heaven and earth, a black light bridge unfurled downwards, awaiting Ye Xuan to step upon it, ready to carry him into the Undying Heavenly Palace.
"You two should leave; I can handle this alone," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Ye Xuan, take this."
Lu Yaoxing frowned slightly, producing a Jade Token from his hand and handing it to Ye Xuan, with the words "Space-Ti" inscribed on it.
"This Jade Token was given to by my Master before I left. If the Undying Heavenly Palace’s people act against you, show them this Jade Pendant to make them wary," Lu Yaoxing said gravely.
"Thank you."
Ye Xuan did not refuse Lu Yaoxing’s kindness, storing the Jade Token, and then boldly walking up the black light path toward the ancient hall atop the firmant.
"Ye Xuan, I’m coming with you."
Luo Hou stepped forth, but before he could reach Ye Xuan, he was fixed in place by a Space-Ti Technique.
"One more person ans more danger. I can handle the Undying Heavenly Palace myself," Ye Xuan said with a smile, turning into a stream of light aid at the Undying Heavenly Palace.
Watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, Luo Hou clenched his fists, full of unspoken words.
He did not know if Ye Xuan would return alive; perhaps they would never et again in this life. This realization filled him with an indescribable sorrow.
...
Dong—— Dong—— Dong!
Chis echoed within the Undying Heavenly Palace. Terrifying figures stood lined on either side, each aura so profound Ye Xuan could not discern their depths, indicating they surpassed the Yin Yang Realm.
Tap—— Tap—— Tap!
Ye Xuan walked leisurely through, past these figures, his footsteps echoing within the ancient hall, his face unruffled.
Finally, Ye Xuan reached the hall’s center, where a figure sat high above, with a heroic appearance and clad in black, curiously observing Ye Xuan.
He was Ming Tian, the current Hall Master of the Undying Heavenly Palace, whose cultivation reached immortality. It was said in his youth, he contended with the Lord of All Spirits, but ultimately lost to the Lord of All Spirits, losing his chance to vie for the title of Eternal Supre.
"I am here. Where is the person I seek?"
Standing in the center of the hall, Ye Xuan addressed Ming Tian, his voice calm and low.
"Bring him up."
Ming Tian waved gently, and the sound of footsteps ca from outside the hall, as the bloodied Primordial Spirit was brought forth.
