Arrival at Chibo Palace
"Dao Lord Cheng Tian, I must remind you, although the path of the Heart Sword Emperor is powerful, for you now, achieving Dao Merge is the most important thing!" Emperor Lord Jin Yu suddenly said with a very solemn expression:
"It's fine to ponder this path occasionally, but if you spend too much time on it and delay your Dao Merge, then it's not worth it!"
"Please rest assured, Emperor Lord Jin Yu, I understand!" Zhou Zheng nodded with a smile.
Although Zhou Zheng was well aware that this was the path he had to take to Dao Merge, Emperor Lord Jin Yu's reminder was well-intentioned. Normal people would never imagine that someone's Dao Merge requires the Dao Heart Perfection.
"That's good!" Emperor Lord Jin Yu nodded, without saying anything more.
After all, he is Dao Lord of the Dao Alliance, so it's fine for him to give a reminder; saying anything more would be inappropriate.
Emperor Lord Jin Yu's initiative to contact Zhou Zheng and Ji Ning was actually just a microcosm of the many things happening in the Yan Long Domain at this time. Almost every peak Dao Lord who entered the Yibo Realm received a promise from the six major forces of the Yan Long Domain.
However, not every Dao Lord was as concerned about the fruits in the Chibo Palace as Zhou Zheng was; they were more interested in the Dongming Jade Talisman at the moment.
At this moment, with the Yibo Realm 'Realm Spirit Pu Luo clearly stating that only peak Dao Lord who enter the Chibo Palace have any hope of survival, many Second Level Heaven-Defying Dao Lord are caught in a dilemma.
However, no matter how conflicted they were, in the end, faced with the immense temptation of the Dongming Jade Talisman, almost everyone made the same choice.
"There's always a glimmer of hope! We might not survive if we went in alone, but we can work together!"
"Yes, let's join forces and enter!"
"We'll risk everything for the Dongming Jade Talisman!"
"."
One by one, the Heaven-Defying Dao Lord made up their minds. Having cultivated to this level, they would not be easily intimidated by a single sentence. With the Dongming Jade Talisman before them, they would absolutely not give up easily.
When many Second Level Heaven-Defying Dao Lord decided to join forces, the peak Dao Lord naturally chose to go to the Chibo Palace without hesitation.
Both the Dongming Jade Talisman and the Chibo Palace Fruit are worth fighting for.
However, this time, not many peak Dao Lord chose to travel alone. The Ninth Layer of the Yibo Realm is fraught with danger, and there will be no shortage of formations and dangers on the way to the Tenth Layer. Traveling together will definitely be much faster.
There are only three Dongming Jade Talisman the Chibo Palace Cave, so they are naturally given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
Time Past day by day, and before we knew it, more than a month had gone by.
At this moment, inside a flying boat heading to the Chibo Palace, Zhou Zheng was drinking with several people.
At the banquet, besides Ji Ning, there was also Dao Lord Da Mo had also chosen to go to the Chibo Palace, and Sect Master Jiu Chen, who had just recovered most of his health.
After a month of agonizing torment, the Sect Master Jiu Chen is now basically able to move freely again. He has finally overcome that endless suffering.
As for Heavenly One Dao Lord, he wisely chose to give up and did not choose to continue traveling with him at this time.
Even Second Tier Heaven-Defying Dao Lord would hesitate before going to the Chibo Palace; for him to go would basically be suicide.
"This was truly a near-death experience!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen looked at Zhou Zheng with a cup of wine in hand and said, "Dao Lord Cheng Tian, I won't say anything more. I owe you this, and I will definitely repay you when the opportunity arises in the future!"
"I didn't do much. On the contrary, Ji Ning used a precious Dao Talisman to save you!" Zhou Zheng shook his head slightly.
"Beiming!" Jiu Chen also looked at Ji Ning. Now that he was awake, he had naturally heard about what had happened.
Because of him, Beiming angrily killed the Chou Wang and then fought a great battle against Dao Lord Xuehuan. If Dao Lord Xuehuan hadn't escaped with an extremely fast life-saving item, he might have been left behind as well.
All of this moved Jiu Chen.
"Haha, seeing you recover is what makes me happiest!" Ji Ning laughed, he was genuinely happy at this moment.
Pain can be deadly; once one can no longer endure it Dao Heart collapses completely, their soul will also Destruction.
Fortunately, the Sect Master Jiu Chen pulled through.
"I already have the Dongming Jade Talisman, and Dongming Jade Talisman Dao Lord Cheng Tian has also obtained it. This time, when we go to the Chibo Palace, I will do my best to help Beiming seize a Dongming Jade Talisman!" Sect Master Jiu Chen said earnestly.
"Good!"
Ji Ning nodded solemnly. He didn't actually value the Dongming Jade Talisman that much, but he knew that if he didn't let Jiu Chen help him now, the other party would feel uncomfortable.
"You two have such a good relationship!" said Dao Lord Da Mo with a smile.
"Of course!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen glanced at Dao Lord Da Mo, then said, "Da Mo, with your strength, going to the Chibo Palace would probably just be suicide!"
"If I don't go, won't you be at the bottom? Both Dao Lord Cheng Tian and Dao Lord Bei Ming are much stronger than you!" Dao Lord Da Mo said with a smile.
"You bastard."
The Sect Master Jiu Chen was speechless.
"Dao Lord Da Mo, I'll need your guidance from now on!" Zhou Zheng said.
"Of course!" Dao Lord Da Mo nodded immediately. He knew very well that the reason these peak Dao Lord chose to bring him along was not only because he had some connections with Dao Lord Bei Ming, but also because he was good at divination.
Although he couldn't deduce the location of the Dongming Jade Talisman before, he could still deduce some dangers.
"With Da Mo guiding the way, and with Master and Jiu Chen joining forces, we will definitely be one of the first Dao Lord teams to arrive at the Chibo Palace!" Ji Ning said with a smile.
"Um!"
Zhou Zheng nodded.
Working together, and with the help of the Dao Lord Da Mo who excels at deduction, their speed of progress should indeed be top-notch.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year has Past.
After more than a year of travel, the once distant and enormous palace finally came into view.
Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!
Four figures flew out of the flying boat.
"This is the Chibo Palace!" Zhou Zheng looked up at the three huge characters above the palace.
None of the three characters are commonly used by practitioners, but their meanings Zhou Zheng and can be understood from them.
The three words all contain invisible power. The word "Chi" is like a raging flame, the word "" contains endless waves, and the word "Dian" seems to contain a large number of well-trained soldiers.
"This is the civilization of the Xis Race, even their writing contains power!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself in awe.
The Xis Race are Life Technique from another Chaos Universe. Their civilization is quite advanced, and they once launched an invasion against this Chaos Universe.
After a great battle, the Xis Race temporarily retreated and hid. The Chibo Palace was left behind by the Xis Race after their defeat, and the writing on the Chibo Palace is naturally the Xis Race script.
"Let's go in!" Zhou Zheng turned to look at the three of them.
"Um!"
Ji Ning and the other two nodded immediately without hesitation.
PS: Only two updates today.
I've been in a bad state these past two days. I wasn't satisfied with the three chapters I wrote yesterday. My original plan was for Zhou Zheng to chase down and kill Dao Lord Sijia, and for Wine Saint to arrive and fight Ji Ning. But as I wrote, it went in a different direction, as if my brain and my hands weren't working together.
Today felt especially strange; after writing two updates, I felt like there was so much I hadn't written.
I'll just post two updates for now. I'll try to get myself in better shape tomorrow.
