Chapter 1610: Come In!
Editor: Atlas Studios
This Immortal Palace contained multiple realms within it.
Every realm was independent.
They existed there, and how far one could travel or how many realms one could enter depended on their cultivation, fortune, and destiny.
From outside the Immortal Palace, looking down at the area, two realms seemed to be hidden beneath the spiritual tide. They appeared as faint ripples, unclear, with only black and white colors faintly visible beneath the water, blurred and indistinct.
The clearest sight to those observing was the third realm of the Immortal Palace, floating above the spiritual tide.
Vast and seemingly boundless, it gave off an overwhelming sense of grandeur, filled with countless structures and buildings.
Surrounding it were radiant clouds of light, with thousands of auspicious beams stretching across the sky.
One could also see numerous spirit crystals made from immortal jade, glittering under the multicolored light of the heavens.
It was as if countless earthly gemstones were embedded within the scene, shimmering magnificently.
In the third realm of the Immortal Palace, celestial cranes circled gracefully. Though their presence seemed ethereal, they let out clear, melodious calls.
These sounds blended with the roaring surges of the spiritual tide, together creating a symphony as if nature itself was performing divine music.
Strange and exotic flowers bloomed everywhere, competing in beauty and brilliance. Occasionally, faint images of immortals appeared, reflected as if from the ripples of time itself, catching the eyes of those observing the realm.
Although their forms were hazy, the spiritual energy swirling around them as they moved was extraordinary.
Further in the distance, a colossal figure sat cross-legged, its immense presence seeming to support the grandeur of the entire third realm of the Immortal Palace.
Its gaze was like a blazing torch, as though it could see through all the disturbances of the world.
In front of this figure, many cultivators could be seen, each with a posture of reverence, as if learning immortal arts and Dao principles.
The entire third realm of the Immortal Palace was filled with the harmonious sounds of zithers and the clear recitations of books, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
There was a mountain range to the rear.
It was also a part of the third realm of the Immortal Palace.
Shrouded in mist, one could faintly see pavilions and towers hidden within.
It was as if some reclusive masters resided there, deep in meditation, striving for higher realms of cultivation.
Time flowed gently in this place, and soon the multicolored light faded as the night descended, stars twinkling in the sky.
The brilliance of the Immortal Palace intertwined with the glow of the stars, creating a breathtaking scene.
It was like a paradise on earth.
As they stared at everything in front of them, shock surged to varying degrees in the hearts of everyone outside the Immortal Palace.
This was the first time in their lives... they had seen such an Immortal Palace.
Xu Qing was the same.
As the spiritual tide surged and the Immortal Palace manifested, starlight similar to that of the palace began to rise from the bodies of many present.
This light came from the secret keys on them!
Xu Qings key was a bamboo slip gifted by Yunmen Qianfan, and at this moment, it shimmered with brilliance.
However, his gaze didnt stay on the Immortal Palace for too long. Instead, he looked at the distant sky.
The moment the Immortal Palace opened, a large number of figures rushed over.
Many of them didnt have a qualifying token. After all, the condition to enter the Aurora Immortal Palace was only secret keys. It didnt require one to have the Immortal Capitals token.
Hence, many Ruler cultivators who hadnt participated in previous hunts had also arrived here.
There was no lack of famous people among them.
However, their former glory paled in comparison to the brilliance of the current generations stars.
Particularly those from the Eastern Starfield!
The Eastern Starfield ranked first among the four starfields of the Fifth Star Ring.
It wasnt just because three of the eight great stars were in the East but also because the number of heavens chosens in the East far surpassed the other three starfields.
These three stars had also arrived. The way they descended also stirred everyones hearts.
First, an overwhelming killing intent arose within every cultivator who lacked the power of Ordinance.
Within moments, it became so intense that it affected both mind and body, spreading outward and filling the surroundings with a dense murderous aura. This aura was drawn by a tremendous force, forming into an ancient black wooden door.
As the door slowly opened, a young man dressed in black stepped out.
The moment he appeared, the minds of everyone present roared with shock. The killing intent was under his control, constantly churning, as though the person who had appeared had become its master.
He stood there, gazing at the Immortal Palace. Though he uttered not a word, his presence, under the gathering of killing intent, transformed him into a sharp blade.
He was capable of battling even those who wielded the power of Ordinance!
Xu Qings eyes narrowed.
Such characteristics combined with the details in the map allowed Xu Qing to immediately recognize the other partys identity without needing others to tell him.
This person was Xie Lingzi from the Eastern Starfield.
According to the description in the map, this person was a rogue cultivator who rose to prominence through life-and-death battles. Using a devouring technique, he slaughtered countless beings and practiced the demonic Dao.
When he was still a young cultivator, he joined a sect but later betrayed it. For over sixty years, he was relentlessly hunted but vanished without a trace.
Several years later, he reappeared, joined another sect, and once again betrayed it, leading to another pursuit with the same outcome: failure to capture him.
In the following years, similar things happened a total of seven times.
He had become a disciple seven times and betrayed his sects seven times, and eventually, under endless pursuits, he rose against the odds. At the moment he achieved the rank of a Ruler, he slaughtered everyone in the sects he had once joined.
He had accomplished his Dao of Slaughter amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
After that, he fought against another star in the east and was evenly matched.
Hence, he was listed among the stars.
His Ordinance didnt come from cultivation but from an Ordinance treasure!
Xu Qing gazed at Xie Lingzi, and faintly within him, he could see a broken blade.
Yuanshan Sus Ordinance comes from her clans ancestor. Her family, being the foremost clan in the South, has profound foundations. Although her ancestor isnt a Summer Immortal, they are at the peak of the Quasi Immortal level and possess their own Ordinance.
As for Jiang Fan, like me, he inherited it from his master.
Li Mengtu spoke in a deep voice at this moment.
And this one, Ive heard of him before. His cultivation in the demonic path required betraying his sect to activate a supreme treasure imbued with an Ordinance. This act was tacitly permitted by the Eastern Sky Patroller.
When Xu Qing heard this, he nodded slightly. After that, his gaze landed on the sky.
The sky rippled and the light spread. Amidst the light, a person walked over.
This person had a kind and gentle appearance, exuding an air of refinement. As he approached, a warm and soothing presence emanated from him, enveloping the area. The cultivators who had been affected by the overwhelming killing intent immediately regained their composure, as if waking from a dream.
It was Zhou Zhengli, one of the three stars in the east.
He came from the Zhou clan in the East and his reputation matched his name; he was chivalrous and benevolent, respected by countless cultivators in the east.
At this moment, when he walked over, the first thing he saw was Xie Lingzi.
His Dao was the opposite of Xie Lingzis, so they both wanted to kill the other party.
Xie Lingzi let out a cold snort and ignored him. At that moment, he took a step forward and directly stepped into the Immortal Palace, his figure instantly disappearing.
Zhou Zhengli calmly retracted his gaze and cupped his fists slightly at everyone. He smiled at Jiang Fan and the others and nodded at Li Mengtu. He also noticed Xu Qing.
After nodding slightly, he also walked toward the Immortal Palace.
However, just as he was about to step forward, Zhou Zhengli suddenly stopped and bowed to the sky.
At the same time, Xu Qing and the other stars also sensed something and looked at the sky.
In the pitch-black night sky, where there had already been stars, nine new ones had appeared.
These nine stars circled one another, forming a star ring.
As they shimmered, starlight descended, gradually shaping a figure from nothing into existence.
This figure wore a ceremonial garb, his attire plain, with long hair cascading down his shoulders. His appearance was handsome, yet his expression was cold, as though there was little to no emotion flowing through him.
As he appeared, he stepped into the air and walked toward the Immortal Palace.
He walked to Zhou Zhenglis side.
Zhou Zhengli lowered his head.
Star Ring walked past him.
Only then did Zhou Zhengli step in.
The solemnity caused by the appearance of Star Ring exceeded everything. Jiang Fan, Yuanshan Su, Qianjun, and Piyi all had solemn expressions.
They also stood up and walked toward the Immortal Palace.
The other qualified people had determined expressions as they stepped in one after another.
Not far away, Li Mengtu also took a deep breath. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
Star Ring!
He is the first of the eight stars and is publicly acknowledged as... the strongest Ruler of the Fifth Star Ring!
He comes from the Easts Star Ring Tower and was given the title of Star Ring. He is the Star Ring Son of this generation. His cultivation has reached the late-stage Ruler Realm and he possesses nine great authorities. His strength is unfathomable, and he rarely made a move.
There was only one public battle where he challenged a Quasi Immortal Great Emperor.
He won the battle and his name spread throughout the world.
This is his battle record before the inheritance segment. Xu Qing... you should be able to see something, right?
Li Mengtus voice was low.
He already comprehended his Ordinance before the inheritance segment.
Xu Qing calmly spoke.
Li Mengtu nodded with a fluctuating expression.
Hes the first person Ive seen among my peers who didnt rely on inheritance to comprehend the Ordinance. Brother Xu, youre the second.
Moreover, I heard that he rejected the inheritance given by his master in the inheritance segment. He said that he doesnt like things that have been used by others. Names are symbols, so he accepts them. However, Ordinance... he prefers his own.
His Ordinance is covered in mystery and I dont know either. However... to be able to defeat a Quasi Immortal, it can be seen how powerful it is!
After all, among Quasi Immortals, even though some have indeed not formed their own Ordinances, most of them will spare no expense to obtain an Ordinance Treasure.
Otherwise, in this dazzling Fifth Star Ring, theres no need to talk about Quasi Immortals.
Li Mengtu drew in a deep breath and stood up to look at Xu Qing.
Brother Xu, shall we go in as well?
The Immortal Palace has opened, and although Quasi Immortals have entered, their entry method is different from oursthey enter directly into the fourth realm. So, theoretically, we wont see them, and its unlikely that well cross paths.
Even if we possess Ordinance and eventually reach the fourth realm step by step, by that time, most of them will have already moved on to higher realms.
When Xu Qing heard this, he nodded slightly.
Might as well.
With that, he stood up and walked toward the Immortal Palace with Li Mengtu.
The Earth Spirit ancestor followed behind the two of them. Very soon, the three of them stepped into the Immortal Palace.
Slight ripples spread in the void before they disappeared.
At the same time, in the second realm that was hidden under the spiritual tide in the Immortal Palace.
There was a peculiar area there. Everything was white with no sense of space or time.
In the whiteness, a small figure gradually emerged, holding a sword in hand. Turning back with one hand on its hip, it spoke arrogantly.
Great Demon King, if youve got the guts, come in! Come on, come after me!
After shouting for a while with no response, the small figure grew smug and was about to leave. Suddenly, its expression shifted as it looked into the distance, a puzzled voice escaping its lips.
Huh, a son has arrived?
