Immortal Husk Exposed to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm

Several minutes had passed since that earth-shattering battle ended.

Chen Lingxi stood up and walked out of the Eastern King Palace. Standing on the mountain peak, his black clothes fluttered in the wind.

The night sky grew increasingly dark, devoid of any light. Yet, thousands of feet above the imperial palace, faint streaks of spiritual light shone. These lights were remnants of Dao Origin, which had not yet dissipated.

Chen Lingxi was still immersed in what he had Sight-Roaming and heard.

The Big Dipper, shining brightly in the sky, and numerous Divine Ability spread throughout the Dao Origin.

Even after Chen Lingxi Sight-Roaming shatter, this astonishing display continued for several quarters of an hour.

Later, when Chen Lingxi used the method of observing qi, he saw that the constantly colliding Dao Origin above the palace had dissipated, and the ever-churning sea of clouds had returned to silence.

Only a few specks of light remained, not yet gone.

Chen Lingxi looked solemn, and even felt quite uneasy.

"But who is truly victorious between Daoist Shurong and Emperor Daye?"

Daoist Shurong is an incarnation of this person. His true cultivation level is unknown. Even if this person is just an incarnation, he is probably not someone that an ordinary Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivator can contend with.

However, the power and might of Emperor Daye just now were in no way inferior to that of the junior Daoist.

Chen Lingxi- observing technique was still circulating in his eyes. He looked into the distance at the end of the Void, where a very dim crimson light broke through the sea of clouds and fled in the direction it had come from.

The crimson glow was much weaker than before, appearing and disappearing as if it were about to vanish.

"Daoist Shurong has already left."

Chen Lingxi then looked towards the palace.

The direction of the palace remained stagnant, its atmosphere shrouded in mystery. Even with Chen Lingxi technique, he could not discern anything clearly.

"From this perspective, it is highly likely that Daoist Shurong will lose this battle between the two Dao Foundation Realm cultivators."

Chen Lingxi shook his head and waited quietly for another two or three hours.

Only then did I see Lin Suri.

He Sight-Roaming Lin Suri Lin Suri sitting in meditation on the snow-capped mountain peak. After a short while, Lin Suri suddenly frowned and then rose into the clouds.

Amidst the mist in the sea of clouds, Jiang Xiu and Wei Qingran reappeared, flying north with Lin Suri, presumably to meet up with Daoist Shurong.

Lin Suri and the other two disciples from the Dao-Below Academy flew hundreds of miles before finally landing on an unnamed, desolate mountain.

The Great Wilderness Mountain is not high and is quite remote. It is summer now, and the mountains are covered with lush forests and flowers, completely concealing the interior of this desolate mountain.

There is another cave in the desolate mountains.

As Lin Suri and his companions entered the cave, they saw Daoist Shurong sitting cross-legged, forcibly plundering the Spiritual Qi of the surrounding hundred miles to cultivate himself.

At this moment, the avatar was covered with many cracks, and its spiritual light was quite dim, as if it had suffered serious injuries.

Through Lin Suri's perspective, Chen Lingxi saw that Daoist Shurong was sitting cross-legged on a flat blue stone in the cave, his eyes closed, practicing some kind of mysterious healing technique.

Within a three-foot Void around her, faint, almost imperceptible starlight seemed to circulate.

The starlight, like countless tiny fragments of stars, slowly revolved around her. With each rotation, her injuries healed a little, and her life force returned to normal.

However, the speed is extremely slow, and it will probably take a long time for him to fully recover his peak cultivation level.

So the three disciples of the Dao-Below Academy stood guard outside the cave abode, while Daoist Shurong cultivated there.

She was pale and weak, sitting cross-legged in the cave to heal her wounds.

It was as if the great cultivator who stood proudly in the Void yesterday, with the seven stars shining above her and an awe-inspiring presence, was not her; only her crimson robes remained as red as blood.

Jiang Xiu stood in front of the cave, her brows furrowed.

He gazed at the Daoist Shurong, who was healing with his eyes closed in the mist, his eyes filled with incomprehension.

"Uncle-Master Shu Rong is a cultivator at the Dao Foundation Perfection Stage," Jiang Xiu said. "Even in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, there are few who can surpass her among those of the same realm."

Although this projected avatar is only at the Dao Foundation Early Stage, its understanding of the Great Dao and its comprehension of Divine Ability far surpass that of an ordinary Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivator.

"I truly cannot understand how the Emperor of Great Li could injure my martial uncle to such an extent."

Wei Qingran shook his head. "My uncle's avatar was teetering on the brink of collapse, but it didn't dissipate in the end, so there wasn't much loss."

"Moreover, the Dao Foundation Realm cultivator in the Great Li Imperial Palace has also been injured, which will inevitably slow down his progress towards the Dao Foundation Middle Stage."

After saying this, he glanced at Lin Suri and Jiang Xiu.

"Our current plan is to set up a grand array again and communicate with the Myriad Realms Projection. If we can guide a fourth-grade magic Law Artifact, then we can be absolutely certain of success."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from inside the cave.

"That's fine then."

Her voice was somewhat weak, yet still steady.

"That Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty is certainly no ordinary Dao Foundation Realm cultivator. There is something strange about him, and the power contained in that great formation is also not ordinary spiritual energy... I alone am afraid I will not be able to obtain the Immortal Husk from his hands."

Inside the cave, Daoist Shurong spoke softly, his brows furrowed.

"The Dao Origin of Emperor Daye actually contains a certain decaying power, which is quite extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu and Wei Qingran's expressions changed simultaneously.

"The power of decay?" Jiang Xiu blurted out, "Could it be the Heavenly Decay Technique that Shangdie Ruanle Way?"

Daoist Shurong slowly shook his head. "It is not the Heavenly Decline Method. Emperor Daye has never cultivated the second Profound Root, nor has he cultivated this method."

The decaying power emanating from him was similar to, yet different from, the Heavenly Decline Method.

She paused slightly, her brows still furrowed.

A moment later, Daoist Shurong stood up and walked out of the cave.

"Let's go back to the snow mountain first. You don't need to worry too much. We'll discuss this further once I've fully recovered from my injuries."

The three of you will then continue forming the array to guide your magical Law Artifact."

The three of them, riding the clouds, went to the summit of the snow-capped mountain again.

Jiang Xiu, Wei Qingran, and Lin Suri sat down cross-legged again on this sea of clouds, their spiritual energy surging around them, and began to construct the great array that connected the Myriad Realms Projection.

A series of mysterious hand seals flew from their fingertips, intertwining and connecting with each other in the Void.

The seals, layer upon layer, unfolded slowly in the clouds like a woven net.

Through Lin Suri's perspective, Chen Lingxi watched as the great formation gradually took shape.

He looked away.

The Sight-Roaming shattered at that moment.

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes.

"It seems that Daoist Shurong is seriously injured, but Emperor Daye's progress in entering the Dao Foundation Middle Stage will inevitably be slowed down considerably."

This was undoubtedly the best news for him.

"Now that Emperor Daye needs to heal his injuries and refine the Void-Disrupting Flower, I will have more time to cultivate and accumulate knowledge, so as to step into a higher realm."

Otherwise, if Emperor Daye were to attack me, I would be utterly powerless to resist."

"At least... I've achieved my goal."

Chen Lingxi a sigh of relief and was about to continue her breathing exercises in the Eastern King Palace.

Then...

He seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head, his gaze falling on the gate of the Eastern King Palace and on the distant horizon.

That's right in the direction of Long River Prefecture!

A sudden strong wind swept across Long River Prefecture.

The wind was so strong, it was like a tornado roaring down from the sky, the wind howling like a beast running, earth-shattering.

Chen Lingxi quickly stood up, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning, striking the mountain.

Then his pupils contracted, and a look of surprise appeared on his face!

He witnessed an extremely astonishing scene.

But all that could be seen in the howling wind was a turbulent current surging from the void.

The turbulent currents were extremely thin, almost imperceptible, like translucent gray ribbons drifting slowly in the Void.

But wherever they passed, the air was silently torn apart, the clouds were swallowed up, and even the starlight falling on the turbulent currents was distorted beyond recognition.

Chen Lingxi's pupils suddenly contracted.

I was reminded of a word I had heard before.

"Void Turbulence..."

He had seen this kind of turbulent current at the Zhuozhao River. When the Slaying-Force Cauldron, the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, was born, it was surrounded by such turbulent currents.

"What Void Turbulence within this Cave Heaven?"

Chen Lingxi was greatly surprised, but before he could think about it, he saw the Long River again!

The place where the Immortal Husk suddenly burst into light.

The light was so intense that it resembled the bright moon in August, its clear radiance shining in all directions, turning the entire Long River into a dazzling silvery white.

From this Immortal Husk arm, an extremely dense aura burst forth, then flowed wildly in all directions like a torrent.

Wherever it passed, ripples appeared on the river surface, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a thick white mist.

Even from hundreds of miles away, Chen Lingxi could clearly sense the astonishing spiritual energy contained within the white mist!

"This Immortal Husk is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the experts from the Dao-Below Academy have projected their Immortal Husk here to compete for it."

Chen Lingxi muttered to herself, but her expression changed again.

As the patterns lit up, an extremely rich aura burst forth from the Immortal Husk.

The aura spread wildly in all directions like a burst dam, causing the river water to boil wherever it passed, scattering the mist on the river surface, and even pressing down the reeds on the riverbank.

"This is... the inspiration for Immortal Husk..."

Chen Lingxi's expression changed drastically.

The method of Qi Observation was activated wildly, and spiritual Qi emerged from the Qi Sea, traveled upwards along the meridians, and flowed into the eyes.

He used the method of Qi Observation to gaze into the distance, and then he clearly saw...

The aura of the Immortal Husk was like the surface of the sea when the tide came in, with ripples spreading wildly in all directions.

The ripples pierced through the clouds and mist, through the Void, and even through the Void Turbulence barrier that separated this Cave Heaven from the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

It seemed to have traveled to a much farther place!

Chen Lingxi a deep breath.

He stared blankly in the direction of Long River Prefecture, at the world that was completely shrouded in the spiritual energy of the Immortal Husk, his heart churning with turbulent waves.

"What is Emperor Daye trying to do?"

He asked himself a question in a low voice.

Just then... Chen Lingxi suddenly sensed a series of chilling auras rippling through the depths of the Void.

Using his Chen Lingxi focused on the celestial canopy. He vaguely sensed streaks of spiritual light appearing and falling into this world amidst the Void Turbulence.

Chen Lingxi's breathing became increasingly rapid.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

"The spiritual energy emanating from this Immortal Husk... could it be that Emperor Daye... intentionally exposed this Immortal Husk to the world?"

At that very moment, on the snow-capped mountain, Daoist Shurong had opened his eyes without anyone noticing.

She remained seated cross-legged amidst the clouds, her starlight dimmed, her aura weak.

But at this moment, as she gazed in the direction of Long River Prefecture and at the aura of Immortal Husk spreading in all directions, her brows furrowed and her breathing even became somewhat disordered.

The other three disciples of the Academy also looked up at the Void, their expressions solemn.

They were all figures from the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, so they naturally knew what Void Turbulence was, and they also knew what the spiritual light mixed in with Void Turbulence was.

In fact, Daoist Shurong saw things even more clearly than Chen Lingxi.

Her gaze turned towards the direction of Long River Prefecture, towards the immortal Immortal Husk emanating a rich aura, and towards the terrifying energy hidden within the shimmering spiritual light.

"Emperor Daye deliberately exposed the aura of this Immortal Husk to the world, thus making it widely known."

"At this very moment, there are probably still many powerful figures in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm who know that Immortal Husk within this Cave Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Lin Suri, Jiang Xiu, and Wei Qingran all changed their expressions instantly!

"This Emperor Daye... actually possesses such abilities?"

At this moment, Chen Lingxi on Inlaid Gold Mountain also had her own guesses.

He finally understood what Emperor Daye meant when he whispered to himself, "This is just the beginning..." when Emperor Daye Daoist Shurong went to fight him yesterday!

"This Emperor Daye, by exposing the location of this Immortal Husk to the world, must have had his own scheme."

But we don't know what he really wants to do.

He frowned, his thoughts racing.

"If Emperor Daye Daye's actions attract many powerful figures from the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, he will no longer be the strongest in this Cave Heaven... and may even face the risk of death!"

"How dare he take such a risk?"

But then a slight smile appeared on his face.

"It's also a good thing that Emperor Daye stirred up the waters."

This Cave Heaven originally belonged to the Quexing Xi Family. The Xi Family's True Lord was in charge of the World-Refining Furnace, which was to refine the entire Cave Heaven into World Essence to forge the Great Xi Hengsu for Mysterious Golden Grotto, a genius of the clan.

Whether it's the Cauldron Vessel or other fortuitous opportunity within the Cave Heaven, for the Xi Family, they are merely a prize to attract disciples from various sects to come in and gain experience.

But Immortal Husk is different.

Among the Cauldron Vessel, there may be many that are even more precious and mysterious than the Immortal Husk Cauldron Vessel.

However, the vast majority of these Cauldron Vessel are not as precious as those that Immortal Husk.

For the sake of this Immortal Husk, the Dao-Below Academy went so far as to communicate with Myriad Realms Projection and dispatch a powerful figure like Daoist Shurong to descend upon this realm.

If other sects knew that a Immortal Husk was hidden within this Cave Heaven, would they sit idly by?

Once those sects descend upon this grotto -Cave Heaven, Xi Family True Lord wants to refine Cave Heaven, he will have to consider the interference of many sect forces.

At that time, the Great Li Court was no longer the strongest force in this Cave Heaven, and Emperor Daye was no longer the emperor who could command the wind and rain.

But he is no longer the target of public criticism.

When the water is murky, fish can easily take advantage of the chaos.

"However, I must also be careful. The Quexing Xi Family or the Bai Family will definitely send powerful experts here. Before my cultivation is strong enough, I still need to avoid them."

As he pondered these thoughts, his mind finally settled on one thing.

"In any case, I must improve my cultivation level as soon as possible."
