The Imperial Palace's Legacy

Li Hao was secretly astonished. Such strict requirements for Personal Disciple were merely the basic conditions for becoming Immortal Emperor.

He smiled wryly and said, "It seems this road is really difficult."

"The mountain paths are all difficult, but going downhill is easy; you just slide along."

The Venerable God's humor is authentic.

Li Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Venerable God said, "Now that you are formal disciple, we can go out with you. However, you are only formal disciple and are not yet qualified to use the True Venerable Tower. I will place the True Venerable Tower in your Primordial Spirit. When you encounter a fatal attack on your Primordial Spirit, the True Venerable Tower will automatically defend you."

"If you encounter other dangers, you will be protected by the Looking at Mountains and Rivers. As long as you are not Quasi-Emperor Grade being, you will be basically safe."

Li Hao asked curiously, "Besides Senior and Old Wang, are there any others?"

"Certainly."

The Venerable God said, "You'll see those guys when you go to the Heavenly Calamity Hall. It's a pity you're not Personal Disciple."

Unable to Mastery the Heavenly Calamity Hall, this Imperial Hall is the best treasure here. Moreover, I need to protect you until you reach the Immortal King Realm before I can leave."

"So now, after you go out, senior, you won't be traveling with me."

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

The other party is Tower Soul, yet it doesn't follow me?

The Venerable God sighed softly, a hint of melancholy in his eyes. He patted Li Hao's shoulder and said, " With the Looking at Mountains and Rivers still standing, you can overcome many dangers. I have other things to do after I leave."

He Pause, as if explaining to Li Hao, yet also reminiscing, and said, "Back then, in that great battle, I went to war with the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, but we were besieged by the combined forces of the Ancient Demon King. Adding to that, an Ancient Demon Great Emperor's Reincarnation Technique killing move nearly killed my True God. Fortunately, the Immortal Emperor rescued me in time and brought me here to recuperate. I missed the rest of the battle..."

At this point, there was no joy of surviving a disaster in his eyes, only pain and Chill.

"Now, my injuries are almost healed. Once I get out of here, I will search for the Immortal Emperor's remains. Even if it means death, I will bring back his Eternity imperial body."

Seeing the hatred and murderous intent in his eyes, Li Hao fell silent for a moment. This was hatred that had been suppressed for ten thousand years, and he knew he couldn't stop it.

Besides, now that the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, whom he had never met before, had become his Master, it was only right for him, as his disciple, to find his remains.

"The situation in the True Realm seems quite dangerous; you must be careful then, Senior," Li Hao said.

The Venerable God glanced at Li Hao, the sharp killing intent in his eyes subsiding. He smiled and said, "It's alright. I left a soul imprint in the True Venerable Tower. Even if something happens, you can be reborn using the soul imprint. Just make sure nothing happens to you."

"Then how will I find my senior?"

"With your soul imprinted within me, I can sense you. If you wish to find me, simply call out to me from within the True Venerable Tower."

The Venerable God looked at Li Hao with extremely gentle eyes and said, "This True Venerable Tower is not as simple as you imagine. It is definitely not just a tool used as a projection to test disciples. It is Emperor Artifact. Although it was damaged in the great war and does not possess the power of a true Emperor Artifact now, its true power is extremely terrifying. Work hard, and if you can become Personal Disciple, you will know how sought-after this True Venerable Tower is."

Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Li Hao nodded. If it wasn't too difficult, he would give it a try; if it was too difficult, then he would give up.

"Go, the Looking at Mountains and Rivers await you."

The Venerable God laughed.

Li Hao bowed respectfully, bid him farewell, and then left the True Venerable Tower.

When he came out of the True Venerable Tower, he saw that Old Wang was already standing outside the tower.

"Have you found the answer?" Old Wang with a smile.

"Without."

Li Hao shook his head slightly, then smiled and said, "But I've found friends."

Old Wang was slightly taken aback, but quickly smiled and exclaimed, "Ten thousand years of waiting, waiting for you, we should all thank you and remember your kindness!"

For him, Li Hao's appearance was like a miracle. Although Li Hao obtained the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage and benefited greatly, for Old Wang himself, Li Hao's arrival also brought them hope and allowed them to move forward.

During that battle, while the fighting raged outside, they could only huddle together in this place, clinging to a tiny spark of hope, their hearts yearning to leave this place.

"I wouldn't call it a favor; Old Wang flatter me."

Li Hao said repeatedly.

Old Wang smiled and said nothing more, only saying, "Come on, I'll take you to the Heavenly Calamity Imperial Palace!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and unleashed a power that enveloped Li Hao.

This power was extremely gentle, containing Mystery feeling that transcended the Great Dao Origin. Li Hao felt as if he were isolated from heaven and Heaven and Earth, surrounded by another Heaven and Earth.

If Old Wang hadn't meant no harm, Li Hao felt that the other party could Mastery the power of that Heaven and Earth with a single thought, completely crushing and annihilating him.

Is this the power of someone at the Immortal King Realm?

Li Hao's eyes revealed astonishment as he followed Old Wang towards the towering, Sky-Reaching Great Hall.

Outside the True Venerable Tower, Bright Saint, Lin Sheng, and the others watched this scene from afar, all knowing that Old Wang had taken Li Hao to receive the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage inheritance!

"After he leaves this place, his name will soon resound throughout the Heavenly Realms and the True Realm."

Some people's brilliance cannot be concealed.

"Regardless of the circumstances, we must not reveal his identity."

"That's what Wandering Saint said."

Everyone remained silent. With the Immortal Calamity Curse afflicting them, the slightest slip of their tongues would result in their complete annihilation.

At this moment, Li Hao, following Old Wang, had gradually arrived in front of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Hall.

Those countless layers of steps leading to the heavens were solemn and majestic. A natural domain enveloped this Imperial Hall, making it impossible to approach.

However, the arrival of Old Wang, the Aura emanating from Li Hao, and everything that happened during Li Hao's True Immortal Tribulation were all under the watchful eye of this Imperial Hall.

The domain of the Imperial Hall opened up a barrier-like path, allowing Old Wang and Li Hao to enter.

Those countless steps, each one exuding a powerful pressure, were once trodden by countless generals and worshippers of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor. That Emperor's Might would make them breathless.

Now that Li Hao has arrived as formal disciple, and Old Wang has shown Li Hao special favor and affection, subtly concealing the Emperor's Might, the two walked lightly up the steps.

"This imperial platform and celestial steps were once filled with celestial kings and lords, all powerful figures who commanded respect and intimidated countless others. Now, only you and I remain."

Old Wang walked upwards, step by step, his eyes were filled with sighs and a hint of sadness.

This sorrow is a trace of sadness that has gradually become numb Past 100,000 years of Years. Li Hao looked around and imagined the former glory from Old Wang's words, and suddenly felt a sense of longing.

Unfortunately, that magnificent sight will never be seen again.

"Can't we fly here?"

"Apart from the three Personal Disciples of the Immortal Emperor and a few formal disciple who were favored by the Immortal Emperor, everyone else must walk, whether they are Immortal King or Prodigy Immortal Lord."

Old Wang smiled, but his hunched back seemed to straighten slowly at this moment. "This is the Emperor's Might. People from all directions come to pay homage, all bowing and paying their respects without exception."

Li Hao looked up at the top of the steps, where there was an extremely spacious area. He could almost imagine that the projection of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor sat there, exuding power over Myriad Worlds.

As the two climbed step by step, they finally reached the top of the steps of the Imperial Hall after several tens of minutes.

Here, there was a vast, boundless Square.

Above the center of the Square, there was a sphere that shone like the Blazing Sun, radiating intense light.

Beneath that sphere stood a breathtakingly beautiful figure, dressed in a silver-gray long dress that shimmered with light, the hem of which billowed like a fox tail on the ground. Though she was only in profile, her beauty Unparalleled, and she seemed to be gazing at a lotus pond shrouded in Immortal Qi mist before the sphere.

Upon the arrival of Old Wang and Li Hao, the figure remained motionless until Old Wang's face showed a respectful expression, he bowed slightly, and said:

"Li Huang, after a hundred thousand years of searching, someone has finally passed the Immortal Emperor's test and become his formal disciple."

His aged voice echoed and faded away, and the place returned to silence.

Li Hao stood aside without saying a word, simply observing the stunningly beautiful figure.

That figure stood motionless, like Sculpture, as if it had been standing there quietly for countless Years.

But her skin, as smooth as ice and as white as jade, was so delicate that even a Falling Leaves could cut it.

After a brief silence, the Li Huang slowly turned around, his azure eyes, reflecting the horizon like the sea and sky meeting, fixed on Li Hao.

Her eyes were calm and serene, without a trace of impurity; they possessed a purity untouched by worldly affairs, yet also seemed profoundly deep, as if concealing untold secrets.

With just one glance, Li Hao felt as if his entire body had been seen through.

Including innermost thoughts, hidden ideas, etc.

It made him feel a sudden tension in his body.

"Your name is Haotian, right?"

The Li Huang spoke softly, his voice as beautiful as celestial music, clear and calm.

Li Hao bowed slightly, and Old Wang's voice echoed in his mind, "This is the Emperor Soul of the Heavenly Calamity Imperial Palace, a former Quasi-Emperor Grade expert, and also the daughter of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor!"

Upon seeing the evidence, Li Hao couldn't help but look at the stunningly beautiful woman before him.

Through the subtle shifts in Li Hao's eyes, Li Huang seemed to hear Old Wang's telepathic introduction of Li Hao, but her expression remained largely unchanged. She simply said:

"I've remembered your name. I hope you can truly become my Personal Disciple and inherit that supreme and glorious title."

Li Hao bowed and said, "This junior will do his best."

Li Huang gazed at Li Hao silently for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. She casually made a sweeping motion in the Void, instantly creating a crack that revealed a nitrogen-filled box shimmering with light. She then looked at the Old Wang:

"Take him to receive the inheritance."

Old Wang Lian bowed and agreed.

He then led Li Hao toward the crack in the crouching box.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, having assumed the inheritance was bestowed upon him by the current Li Huang.

Led by Old Wang, he entered the crevice and saw before him an Immortal Qi palace, shrouded in Cloudmist and ethereal beauty.

"It seems that Li Huang has been aware of everything you've done since you arrived here. You must work hard and not let Li Huang down."

As soon as he steadied himself, Li Hao heard Old Wang speak to him.

Li Hao thought of this magnificent Imperial Hall, which occupied ninety percent of the area of this Forbidden Zone space. As the soul of the Imperial Hall, Li Huang could know everything about this place, no matter how small.

"This is your reward for your disciple."

At this moment, Old Wang drew Li Hao's attention back to the present, pointed to the magnificent hall before him, and said with a look of vicissitude in his eyes:

"Originally, as formal disciple, you should have performed the apprenticeship ceremony in person and kowtowed to the Immortal Emperor. However, now that even the Immortal Emperor's remaining Soul Avatar here has dissipated, the apprenticeship ceremony is off. Step forward and reveal the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal."

The treasure vault will automatically open the Second Layer for you; that is the inheritance and blessing bestowed upon formal disciple.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao followed Old Wang's instructions and stepped forward to unleash the Immortal Seal.

The intricate Nine Flowers pattern on the Immortal Seal immediately shone with dazzling light, making it extremely eye-catching.

As the light rippled and shone onto the treasure vault, a crack appeared in the hall, from which several Dao Light shot out in quick succession.

Old Wang raised his hand and caught the Dao Light. After the light dissipated, he glanced at them to confirm they were correct, then handed them to Li Hao, saying:

"As your formal disciple, I will become your protector upon your departure, safeguarding your safety. The True Venerable Tower will also reside within your Primordial Spirit, protecting Primordial Spirit. As long as you are not threatened by Quasi-Emperor Grade being, you will be safe and sound!"

"Aside from your safety, this is your Cultivation Resources."

He handed the three jade tokens in his hand to Li Hao, a hint of surprise on his face, and said:

"That great battle back then was too intense; the Immortal Stone and Source Stone from that time were all refined into the power of Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact."

They've all been used up. These three jade tokens were IOU from the three largest Merchant Guild of the three major powers in the True Realm back then, and also their Merchant Guild's royal decrees.

"If those three major Merchant Guild were still around, with these three jade tokens, we could extract an Immortal Vein from each of the Merchant Guild, enough to allow you to cultivate to the peak of the Ninth Level of Immortal Lord Realm!"

He said to Li Hao, "Back then, formal disciple could only receive a single Immortal Vein as a reward, which was worth a million Immortal Stone. Now, that's three times that!"

Li Hao was slightly speechless. IOU?

The catastrophe of that year was so devastating that Immortal Emperor perished; it's still unknown whether those three major Merchant Guild still exist.

Old Wang seemed to realize this as well, and looked at Li Hao's smile with some understanding, saying, "If the three major Merchant Guild are no longer around by then, we'll have to think of other solutions."

Li Hao smiled wryly and accepted the three jade tokens.

"In addition to these Cultivation Resources, we've also prepared a set of first-grade Origin Immortal Weapon for you at the Immortal Lord Realm!"

Old Wang said, "You can choose the specific one yourself in the treasure vault. Since you're using a sword, you can choose a sword. I remember there are seven Origin Immortal Swords, but their effects are all different. One of them is called Daoji, which is extremely fierce and is also the most powerful Origin Immortal Sword left. If you can subdue it, you can choose it."

As he spoke, he placed his palm on Li Hao's back and gave him a gentle push.

Li Hao suddenly felt as if he had been pushed into the crack of the treasure vault, the dazzling light blinding him.

Soon, in this pure white space, he saw sets of Immortal Armor floating around him.

Beside them were various weapons, including swords, knives, axes, and spears, all radiating an extremely powerful aura.

Li Hao was astonished. In the True Realm, he had picked up many broken immortal Immortal Artifact, all of which were dim and had decayed, leaving only the Immortal Artifact themselves.

These Immortal Weapon, however, were all perfectly preserved and exuded a terrifying Aura.

Pick me! Pick me!

Pick me, I'm the best!

Pick me!

As Li Hao pondered and observed, voices suddenly emanated from the surrounding Immortal Armor and Immortal Weapon, reaching into Li Hao mind.

Li Hao was taken aback and couldn't help but look over. He saw countless souls reflected from the Immortal Armor and Immortal Weapon, some resembling graceful Fairy, others handsome young men, children, or old men—but without exception,

They all looked at Li Hao with pleading expressions, their eyes filled with urgency.

Roar!

With a low growl, the Aura of several spirits differed greatly, like Savage Wilderness beasts, sweeping fiercely towards the other Immortal Armor and Immortal Weapon. Then, they looked at Li Hao, their eyes softening, and said:

Pick me! I'm the best here!

"What are you saying? Want to fight? I'm the strongest!"

"I sense the Sword Dao Origin within you. I am the strongest sword here. Choose me!"

"I want to go out and fight the enemy! I want to go out! Choose me! If you choose me, I will help you reach the highest peak!"

The celestial soldiers and armored warriors began to argue animatedly.

Li Hao was a little stunned. He had been thinking about how to choose, but instead, he was caught in a scramble for the items.

He recalled the words of the Venerable God and fell silent. It seemed these guys had been here for far too long.

"Which one is the Daoji?" Li Hao asked curiously.

Upon hearing his words, all the other weapons stopped, and the spirits on several Immortal Sword turned to look at a ferocious beast spirit that was only the size of a small tiger.

"It's me, it's me, it's me!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the machine spirit became excited and charged towards Li Hao with a howl.

He said, "Choose me, I am the strongest sword here!"

"It enjoys Slaughter Bloodlust, and it doesn't like to obey its master. If you choose it, you won't be able to control it with your cultivation level."

At this moment, the spirit of the Immortal Sword beside them spoke up.

Upon hearing its words, the spirit of the Daoji suddenly flashed with a cold light in its eyes, and Sword Light shot out, knocking back the immortal Immortal Sword with a clang.

"Young man, I am the strongest. You've made the right choice in choosing me. I can guarantee you'll become Immortal Lord!"

That's what the Chunji Immortal Sword said.

Li Hao glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Alright, I choose you."

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the Ji Immortal Sword burst into laughter.

Immediately, it couldn't wait to form a contract with Li Hao's Primordial Spirit. Li Hao didn't hesitate either, completing the contract with it. Immediately, he felt a fierce Aura surge into his mind, carrying sinister and cruel intentions.

"Master, I won't hurt you. After we get out, take me to fight the enemy. I missed that battle back then, but I want to fight my way back!"

The machine's sound immediately rang in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao smiled and replied, "Okay!"

Seeing Li Hao form a contract with the machine, the other Immortal Weapon sighed and returned to their positions, remaining silent.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Armor users crowded around and started scrambling to grab it.

Li Hao asked around one by one, and after a while, he also consulted Ji. With Ji's guidance, he selected a set of all-black Immortal Armor, with rugged patterns on the surface like withered vines, and faintly, an Ancestral Dragon coiled around it.

The Immortal Armor also formed a bond with Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, and was named the Extreme Thunder Immortal Armor.

Li Hao inquired with them and learned that they were all weapons wielded by the Immortal Lord Realm, and could only be possessed by formal disciple of Immortal Emperor.

Only then can one receive such a reward, with the protection of Immortal Weapon from the Immortal Lord Realm, enough to weather the fragile period of the True Immortal Realm.

In the True Realm, Immortal Lord is already considered a powerful figure capable of standing alone.

After Li Hao had chosen his Extreme Thunder Immortal Armor, he was teleported out of the treasure vault.

When Old Wang saw the Immortal Weapon and armor that Li Hao had chosen, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "So fast, you really chose the Daoji. Can it suppress that little guy?"

"It should be possible," Li Hao said.

Upon hearing his answer and seeing Li Hao's relaxed expression, Old Wang immediately laughed.

"As formal disciple, you can also choose one of the Ten Supreme Immortal Arts of the True Immortal Realm to cultivate. Whether you can comprehend it depends on your luck. This Immortal Arts is passed down by the Inheritance Stone left behind by the Immortal Emperor."

Old Wang raised his hand and beckoned towards the treasure vault. A glowing stone flew out from inside, radiating a profound Emperor's Might that made people dare not touch it lightly.

"Summon your Primordial Spirit and enter the Inheritance Stone."

The Old Wang held the Inheritance Stone in both hands, his expression more solemn and serious than before.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao summoned his Primordial Spirit and touched the Inheritance Stone.

The next moment, he felt his Primordial Spirit being sucked in, and then he arrived in a world surrounded by Immortal Qi.

Surrounded by a thick white mist, Li Hao looked around, and suddenly beams of Dao Light appeared before his eyes.

The light and shadow depicted fragments of time. Within the towering Heavenly Calamity Immortal Hall, countless Immortal Deity gathered, creating a magnificent and vast scene. In a courtyard behind the Imperial Hall, a figure sat with eyes closed, then suddenly stood up.

He drew his sword and swung it, a Sword Light piercing through the Cloudmist above the Imperial Hall, extinguishing the light of day and plunging the world into darkness.

That sword strike seemed to extinguish the entire God Sun.

The terrifying sword strike flashed before Li Hao's eyes, and he was somewhat stunned.

The young man in the courtyard sheathed his sword, and the Heaven and Earth gradually regained its light.

The image then gradually faded away.

At this moment, a weathered and sighing voice reached Li Hao's ears, saying:

"He is Qing Xuan, the Second Disciple of the Immortal Emperor. His Soul Core has not withered, and it is unknown how many times he has Reincarnation, where he was reincarnated, or whether his Soul Thought has been scattered. If you can find him and bring him back to the Heavenly Calamity Imperial Palace, the Li Huang can restore his memories and allow him to return to his peak!"

The voice continued, "At that time, you will also receive the Immortal Emperor's reward, and you will also have the opportunity to be promoted to Personal Disciple!"
