Heading to Zixiao Palace

As various great deities emerged and headed towards the Purple Heaven Palace, five hundred years passed in a flash on Mount Sumeru in the West.

During these five hundred years, Jiang Yun used the Golden Spirit Pearl and Water Spirit Pearl to draw the Metal and Water Origin Spiritual Energy into his lungs and kidneys. He refined the Spiritual Energy using secret techniques, then circulated it through his five organs to forge the Five Qi. Through gradual accumulation, the Metal and Water elements of the Five Qi in his Chest were finally perfected.

The quality and quantity of his Five Qi in the Chest rapidly increased. As the Five Qi grew stronger, his physical body and Nascent Soul were rapidly inflated like balloons under their nourishment. The quality of his Mana also greatly improved, and his cultivation rapidly advanced from the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal to the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Although he had barely entered the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Jiang Yun was not overly pleased.

Because his cultivation realm had advanced too quickly, his physical body, Mana, and Nascent Soul had not had time to be meticulously refined and were quite superficial. He could feel that his foundation was far less solid than before, and he would need to spend a lot of time slowly solidifying his foundation later.

On this day, after Jiang Yun had slightly consolidated his cultivation and judged that the time was almost right, he left his cave dwelling ahead of schedule and came to wait in front of the Great Hero Hall.

In just a moment, Jieyin and Zhunti also emerged from the Great Hero Hall. After he greeted them, the three of them set off without further ado, transforming into a streak of light.

On the way to the Outer Heavens and Chaos, many Primordial Desolation beings were also heading to the Purple Heaven Palace.

Among them were great demons with mixed auras, as well as immortal spirits of plants and trees exuding pure energy, and countless spirits of stubborn stones. Everyone had their own thoughts, but their goal was the same.

Along the way, there were also beings who fought each other, but more often they just silently traveled, not provoking trouble. When they met, they tacitly kept their heads down, afraid of being late for the sermon.

To reach the Purple Heaven Palace, one must first pass through the Nine Heavens Gale and arrive at the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky. This step alone eliminated an unknown number of people.

The Nine Heavens Gale was located at an extremely high altitude in the Primordial Desolation world, far from the ground, where Spiritual Energy was scarce. It was filled with various divine winds formed by the power of wind laws. These divine winds were extremely powerful and fast, like sharp blades raging and shuttling through space. Even the hardest magic treasures and Spiritual Treasures would be gradually worn down and torn apart after being blown by the Nine Heavens Gale for a long time.

Many cultivators whose physical bodies were not strong enough and who did not have powerful protective Spiritual Treasures were either severely injured and forced to return, or were torn to shreds by the Gale after their Mana was exhausted when passing through the Gale layer.

Even if they passed through the Nine Heavens Gale, as they moved forward, they would encounter Void Turbulence.

This was the edge of the inner Chaos, the boundary between the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky and Chaos. Because the Chaos energy was too powerful and could dissolve the Nascent Soul and erode the physical body, it could only be resisted by Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Therefore, the chaotic air currents that filled this area and darted around were also called Void Turbulence.

Many cultivators below Grand Luo who came here were helpless when they saw this scene.

The Dao Ancestor's sermon was not something ordinary people could attain; cultivation, perseverance, Fortune, and wisdom were all indispensable.

Jieyin and Zhunti brought Jiang Yun and traveled at full speed, easily arriving here. This was his first time in the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky.

Before he could examine it carefully, the three of them plunged into the Chaos again.

Truly stepping into Chaos, Jiang Yun finally felt the terror of this unknown realm. Although he had glimpsed a corner of Chaos from fragments of inherited memories before, those were from the perspective of Chaos Spiritual Roots like Jianmu, and the feeling was very different from what he was experiencing now.

All he could see was darkness.

There was no distinction between up, down, left, or right, nor any concept of time or space. It was a dead silence that evoked a great sense of terror.

Chaos air currents surged wantonly all around, and occasionally a Chaos storm would sweep by. If one was not careful and was caught in it, it was easy to be smashed to pieces, and escaping was extremely difficult.

Jieyin and Zhunti protected Jiang Yun in the middle. A protective divine light emanated from their bodies, forming a protective circle, shielding the three of them from the impact of the air currents.

Unsure how long they had traveled in Chaos, the deeper they went, the stronger the impact of the air currents around them became, and the more frequent the appearance of Chaos storms. By this time, Jieyin had already taken out the Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus and used his Mana to activate it above the three of them, protecting everyone. Zhunti also took out the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to observe their surroundings, and when large air currents or small storms attacked, he immediately waved the treasure tree to disperse them.

Jiang Yun did not idle around either. He still had a lot of Three Lights Divine Water on him. He couldn't afford to waste it now and replenished the two of them at intervals, which made Jieyin and Zhunti feel a pang of heartache, but they didn't say much.

Just as all of them were feeling a hint of fatigue, a sense arose in their hearts from the depths of the void. The three of them immediately felt a surge of joy, and their spirits were greatly uplifted.

After a period of divine sense communication, the three of them confirmed the direction of the sense and continued on their way.

The location of the Purple Firmament Palace was mysterious and profound. Everyone who entered Chaos needed to undergo a trial to sense its direction. Of course, the Three Pure Ones, being the direct descendants of Pangu and having the great merit of opening the heavens, naturally did not need a trial.

As for the others, each of them possessed great Fortune, and the path each person took to get there was different – a thousand people, a thousand paths.

Thus, following the sense, the three of them continued to travel for a long time. By the time Jiang Yun felt impatient, a magnificent, solemn, and majestic palace suddenly appeared before them.

Endless auspicious light, accompanied by purple energy, radiated outwards, like a giant light source, guiding everyone.

The three of them were overjoyed, their annoyance vanishing, and they quickly accelerated towards it.

Upon reaching the front of the Purple Firmament Palace, they saw two young Daoist attendants guarding the entrance, a boy and a girl standing on either side, with the palace gate open.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun thought to himself, With the blessing of my Three Lights Divine Water on this journey, Teacher and Martial Uncle finally won't appear ragged and in distress. And it seems they haven't arrived too late. The palace gate is still wide open.

These two young Daoist attendants must be Haotian and Yaochi. They were indeed quite cute, with plump little faces, trying to act like little adults. Both of them had already reached the cultivation level of Golden Immortal Perfection.

The three of them tidied themselves up briefly at the palace gate and then walked into the Purple Heaven Palace.

Jiang Yun followed behind Jieyin and Zhunti. As he passed by Haotian and Yaochi, he smiled slightly at them and nodded in greeting.

Upon entering the palace gate, the three of them surveyed the situation inside.

The entire main hall was tall and spacious, with more than a dozen pillars reaching to the heavens. High above, auspicious energy flowed in streams, and radiant light shone everywhere. Waves of spiritual energy condensed into clouds and mist that surged on the ground.

The floor of the palace was made of bluestone of unknown material, ancient and natural, making one feel as if they were in a forest. On the surrounding walls, congenital divine script appeared and disappeared, as if conveying some profound truth.

At this time, the palace was already full, with all seats occupied by great divine beings, each with extraordinary origins and profound auras. None of them were below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The front area of the hall allowed for clearer listening to the Dao. In front, there were six meditation cushions, all of which were already occupied. Others were sitting on the ground.

No one who could come to the Purple Heaven Palace was a fool. There were only six meditation cushions in the entire hall, and there was naturally a mystery behind this.

However, those who had secured seats were not to be trifled with. Others, considering this was a Saint's Dao Field, did not dare to cause trouble. Although they coveted the seats on the meditation cushions, they did not dare to act rashly.

Upon seeing the meditation cushions, Jieyin and Zhunti felt a sense of indication. These cushions seemed to be a tremendous opportunity for them, something they absolutely could not give up. However, seeing everyone's demeanor, they did not dare to cause trouble without reason and could not help but feel anxious.
