Xuanzhe's secret

Above the vast and boundless Endless Sea Territory, a Spirit Boat sped past above the Cloud Sea.

On the Spirit Boat, Su Bai sat steadily in his seat, with Heavenly Gang sitting beside him.

The two leisurely savored the Spirit Tea, enjoying this moment of tranquility and comfort.

As Zombie, Heavenly Gang didn't really have much of a feeling about the taste of this Spirit Tea; he was simply keeping Su Bai company.

At this moment, they were far from the Tian Nan Continent and found themselves in the endless Ocean.

Heading north, as long as you cross this endless sea, you will reach the Southern Sea Cultivation World.

The Southern Sea Cultivation World also has Teleportation Outpost for the Immortal Palace, which provides convenience for Su Bai.

He can use the Teleportation Outpost in the South Sea to directly activate teleportation and travel to the Qianyuan Cultivation World.

Su Bai took a sip of Spirit Tea, then slowly said, "On this trip, we will first travel together to the Qianyuan Cultivation World to visit the location of the Immortal Palace."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Gang's face showed a hint of doubt. "Qianyuan Cultivation World? Immortal Palace?"

Clearly, these were all unfamiliar concepts to him.

He was originally a mortal martial artist who, by fortuitous opportunity, became a Thousand-Year Purple Zombie. Although Combat Power, he knew very little about the common knowledge of the Cultivation World.

When Su Bai was with him, he would occasionally explain things to him.

This time is no exception.

Seeing Heavenly Gang's blank expression, Su Bai smiled slightly and patiently explained, "The Qianyuan Cultivation World is a place where cultivators gather, and there are many powerful Sect Force within it. The Immortal Palace, on the other hand, is Demonic Path Force spans several Cultivation World..."

Heavenly Gang nodded as if he understood, though he was still somewhat unclear about these concepts. Su Bai's explanation gave him a preliminary understanding of the Qianyuan Cultivation World and the Immortal Palace.

"So this world is truly vast; Tian Nan is merely a small corner of it."

"So, this Immortal Palace was previously a Demonic Path organization with even greater power than the Palace of Reincarnation."

"Even now, it's far superior to the Palace of Reincarnation." Heavenly Gang grasped the concept.

Su Bai nodded slightly. "However, the Immortal Palace is currently weak. Although it is Demonic Path organization, it would be best if we could turn it to our own advantage."

"This was the idea I had when I infiltrated it."

Having the Immortal Palace as a front for a powerful force, aside from other factors, provides a Black Gloves for collecting and plundering resources.

Su Bai looked at Heavenly Gang, already having another idea in mind.

Heavenly Gang is Thousand-Year Zombie of the Purple Zombie Level.

Although he had placed Corpse Control Seal on himself, no one else knew it.

If one were to bring them along as Free Body individual, and introduce them to Xuanzhe, they could join the Immortal Palace.

I wonder if I can obtain a position as a Immortal Envoy?

Purple Zombie Level Zombie is far stronger than a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the same level.

Su Bai felt that he was fully capable of taking on the current position of Immortal Palace Envoy.

If successful, then two of the Four Great Immortal Envoys of the Immortal Palace will be from their own side.

In the future, how could this Immortal Palace not be under the control of the two of us!

Furthermore, after successfully cultivating the Grand Five Elements Sword Array, Su Bai also wanted to test the true strength of Xuanzhe, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, to see just how powerful he really was.

Previously, Su Bai had never even extended his Divine Sense in front of Xuanzhe.

After all, being in Immortal Palace Grotto-Heaven, if Xuanzhe wanted to make a move, they wouldn't need to worry about anything.

Out of caution and self-preservation, Su Bai had always behaved properly and never overstepped his bounds in front of the Xuanzhe.

Now that Su Bai has mastered the Grand Five Elements Sword Array, and with the Purple Zombie Heavenly Gang assisting him, it would be unreasonable not to investigate his strengths.

"Upon arriving at the Immortal Palace, you and I will be like this..."

Su Bai summoned Heavenly Gang and exchanged a few words in secret.

Several months later.

The Spirit Boat stopped at a remote island in the South Sea.

Su Bai put away the Spirit Boat and, relying on the senses of the Immortal Seed, used the Earth Escape Technique that allows one to escape into the depths of the earth) with Heavenly Gang.

Deep beneath this isolated island, Su Bai found the Teleportation Outpost of the Immortal Palace.

After attaching a few High-grade Spirit Stone, Su Bai and Heavenly Gang activated the teleportation.

After several teleportations.

A flash of teleportation light appeared, and Su Bai reappeared on the Teleportation Array inside the Heavenly Gate of the Immortal Palace.

Under Heavenly Gang's astonished gaze, Su Bai changed into the Immortal Palace attire, his form shifting to resemble that of the Spirit Lord.

"This is the Immortal Palace."

"Come with me."

Su Bai darted away, leading Heavenly Gang to choose the correct path on the Immortal Bridge. After a dizzying moment, the two had already crossed the Immortal Bridge and entered the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm.

Inside the Grotto-Heaven Main Hall.

Heavenly Gang was still marveling at it.

A figure suddenly appeared above the main hall.

"Spirit Lord, you've finally arrived."

"What's the meaning behind this Purple Zombie you brought?"

The Xuanzhe frowned slightly.

He made a deal with Su Bai several years ago, and Su Bai gave him 300 million Spirit Stone.

He then gave Su Bai the position of Immortal Envoy, as well as the secret key points for advancing to the Spirit Transformation.

Su Bai was extremely accommodating, and the three hundred million Spirit Stone were delivered quickly.

What was unexpected was that he remained so composed, waiting so many years before finally coming to receive the position of Immortal Envoy and the key points of the Spirit Transformation.

Is it that he genuinely looked down on the position of Immortal Palace Envoy, or was he simply too reserved and cautious in his demeanor?

And this Purple Zombie...

Purple Zombie are an extremely rare species in this Lower Realm, and their formation requires extremely stringent conditions.

It's worth noting that the last recorded instance of Purple Zombie dates back to the distant Near-Ancient Period!

Now, this kid has somehow found a Purple Zombie and brazenly brought it into the Grotto-Heaven. What's worse, he didn't even bother to warn me beforehand!

Seeing this, Su Bai quickly cupped his hands in greeting and explained with a smile, "Immortal Envoy, please don't be offended. Allow me to explain. This is a fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Gang whom I met by chance in the Tian Nan Land. As you said, he is indeed a genuine Purple Zombie!"

Then, Su Bai changed the subject and continued, "I believe Heavenly Gang Tiangang possesses considerable strength and potential, which is why I specifically introduced him here, hoping he can join our Immortal Palace."

"After hearing about the great achievements of our Immortal Palace, Fellow Heavenly Gang Tiangang is quite willing to join Immortal Palace." At this point, Su Bai winked at Heavenly Gang.

Heavenly Gang understood immediately and quickly cupped his hands in greeting to the Xuanzhe, saying, "Please allow Immortal Envoy to enter the Immortal Palace, Immortal Envoy."

"Heavenly Gang, what is your purpose in joining the Immortal Palace?"

"Purple Zombie For Zombie of this caliber to join the Immortal Palace would indeed be a fitting tribute to the Immortal Palace's tradition of only recruiting elite geniuses, "Xuanzhe said after scrutinizing him for a moment.

What Xuanzhe didn't notice was that Su Bai was also secretly watching Xuanzhe.

He tried to find out the details of the Xuanzhe in various ways.

When Su Bai slightly activated the [Tidal Song Sacred Vein] in his ears and secretly used [Abyssal Vortex Soul Listener] on the Xuanzhe, a strange expression appeared on Su Bai.

What's going on with this Xuanzhe? His physical body isn't here at all? The Xuanzhe standing in front of me is just a lifelike energy entity?
