Heaven of Separation
"As expected, he really did manage to escape from the clutches of the Purple Mansion Lord."
In Li Fuchan's hand, the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon" slowly closed, with residual Golden Thunder crackling between the pages.
This is the source of his confidence to act so recklessly amidst the powerful forces in the Northern Lands, right under the nose of the Purple Mansion.
This is also why he remained fearless even when Quan Yong had him trapped and Secret Seal in the Great Zhi Pivot.
After the Flood Serpent Fate was refined into the "Jiao-Driving Lightning" Register Qi, he once used the portal left in the Flood Serpent Fate to step into a Secret Seal area that resembled Flying Earthworm Cave.
However, the Flood Serpent Fate was fraught with too many hidden dangers, so he personally destroyed that door.
Later, in order to prevent Three Nothing from influencing the world again through the Law Treasure "The A Plea for Thirty-Six Years of Romantic Tales", he added "The Jiao-Driving Lightning" into "The A Plea for Thirty-Six Years of Romantic Tales".
Later, "The A Plea for Thirty-Six Years of Romantic Tales" transformed into "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon". After that, he had a vague feeling and, after careful investigation, he discovered that a portal had also emerged within "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon".
This portal was far larger and more solid than the Flood Serpent Fate, so much so that he couldn't destroy it even if he wanted to.
He had tried it once and discovered that this portal was not like the Flood Serpent Fate, which could only capture and Secret Seal the host's consciousness, but could also draw in his entire physical body.
Such a gateway is far beyond anything that can be described as Secret Seal; it is at least Blessed Land.
He had always considered this gate his last resort, yet he had never truly tested a question that had always troubled him: Could he safely slip through the gate in front of the Purple Mansion Lord?
Moreover, whether the world behind the door was Blessed Land or Grotto Heaven, and whether it harbored any dangers, was something he had always worried about.
The second thing to do in this Tribulation Divination is to test the power of [Gold-Pressing Thunder] and then personally verify the location behind the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon" portal.
Fortunately, things turned out as he had predicted.
Even if the Purple Mansion were right in front of him, it couldn't stop him from stepping into this place through the portal in the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon".
"Next, we should go further inside."
His eyes had transformed into two Purple Conch, and at this moment, he could only be seen with his spiritual sense.
The sky above this land was gloomy and dark, as if a heavy, dark Dark Clouds had been pressing down on it for thousands of years, making people feel suffocated.
Not far away, a majestic mountain rises abruptly from the ground, its imposing presence devoid of any vegetation.
Li Fuchan walked towards that mountain without incident, neither triggering any Restriction nor encountering any danger.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, he looked up towards the mountain gate and saw a dark, heavy plaque hanging above it, inscribed with the words "Heaven of Separation".
Li Fuchan's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "It really is Grotto Heaven!" He had originally thought that the portals in the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon" were just connected to a Blessed Land, but he never expected that it would actually be a Grotto Heaven.
But then he frowned. "If it's Grotto Heaven, why has it fallen into such a state of ruin?"
Setting aside his doubts for the time being, he continued up the mountain. At the summit stood a magnificent, sprawling palace, its halls and pavilions layered upon each other, exuding an imposing aura, having slumbered there for countless years.
He paused, his gaze falling on the plaque above the main hall.
Jade Pivot Palace.
A couplet hangs on either side of the main hall, displaying great grandeur:
The Three Thunders, Two Aversions, and Five Virtues, all the mysteries bestowed upon them the talismans, making them my officials.
The Crimson-Slipped Golden Talisman Register signify that all sacrifices are performed by me, and all the immortals revere and worship me.
Upon seeing this couplet, Li Fuchan understood exactly whose Grotto Heaven this "Heaven of Separation" belonged to.
It was none other than the already destroyed Thunder Palace.
Through "Li Thunder," Li Fuchan had fantasized countless times about the domineering nature of the Ancient Thunder Palace, but he never expected that the Thunder Palace would be even more domineering than he imagined.
Overbearing arrogance! He's asking for it!
He couldn't help but sigh:
"Thunder Palace's death was not unjust."
If Li Fuchan were also an Ancient Era Purple Mansion Lord, or even an immortal sitting atop the Golden Tower, he certainly wouldn't have let Thunder Palace go based solely on these two couplets.
Everyone is cultivating peacefully, and suddenly you jump out, wanting to take control of all the mysteries of the world, demanding that they bow down, receive ordination, and obey your commands. Who can tolerate that?
He abhorred this and deeply admired the forces that destroyed the Thunder Palace.
No one wants to spend their whole life cultivating themselves only to end up as a lackey of someone else.
Just like him now, it's no different from calling him "Li Thunder's" lackey.
After other Dao Lineage Yang-Moving Aspect, they simply responded by practicing meditation in accordance with Yang Aspect. Before Yang Houjia the Yang Family achieved the status of the Great True Person of Inner Vision, he had always been in seclusion, isolated from the world.
On the other hand, he had suffered many losses in previous Tribulation Divination because of Wisdom King and Three Nothing, but this time, he was truly tricked by "Li Thunder" here.
Without a period of intense activity under the Dark Clouds of the Northern Lands, "Muffled Crow in Ambush" would likely never achieve great success, let alone be so close to breaking through to the Inner Vision.
Li Fuchan looked around and found nothing in Heaven of Separation that could be called a treasure. Only the palaces were relatively sturdy, but for some reason, he couldn't get inside. "There must be some kind of Restriction."
He didn't try to force his way in; the purpose of this trip was simply to determine if the place was safe, and there was no need to act recklessly.
As things stand, aside from the lack of Spiritual Qi, making cultivation impossible, this place is not bad as a temporary refuge.
"When I entered the Secret Seal Flying Earthworm Cave before, I could sense many similar Secret Seal Flying Earthworm Cave, each with its own master. Since this Grotto Heaven is also entered through a portal, it should have some similarities with that Secret Seal. Perhaps it can connect to other Grotto Heaven or Blessed Land. It's just a pity that I don't seem to meet the requirements for choosing a master for Grotto Heaven now, or perhaps the Heaven of Separation has fallen so low that it no longer possesses such power."
Li Fuchan pondered for a moment.
We'll begin organizing the results of this Tribulation Divination.
The most important thing is his cultivation level. He is now only one step away from breaking through to the Inner Vision, thanks to "Muffled Crow in Ambush". Although "Li Thunder" is strong, as long as he does things that conform to the image of "Muffled Crow in Ambush", the boost to his cultivation level is real.
The role played by the "Nascent Infant Pill" is immeasurable.
He once relied on the Tribulation Divination of Tribulation Qi to deduce and inherited the "Nascent Infant Pill" refined by the Flying Earthworm, which freed him from the trouble of searching for Spirit Object with compatible attributes. Moreover, when the "Nascent Infant Pill" was refined, his physical body was also refined into it, which naturally made his refinement easier.
Moreover, he personally witnessed a Purple Mansion Lord and learned from him that the "Li Thunder" had changed. In the face of those Purple Mansion under the Ancient Era Dao Lineage, this was not an unbelievable event. Furthermore, the Overseas Welcome Ying Isle had been looking forward to the appearance of such a person.
I don't know exactly what they're going to do, but knowing it will give me some precautions.
The second thing was confirming the portal left in the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon," which would allow him to escape easily even before the Purple Mansion Lord.
The Grotto Heaven within the portal did not pose the fatal danger he had imagined. The only questionable aspect was that if he wanted to leave this Grotto Heaven and reappear in the mortal world, he would inevitably return to the place where he left off.
If someone keeps waiting there, he'll probably be trapped in the Heaven of Separation forever.
The only solution is to find a way to make this Heaven of Separation, like the Secret Seal of the Flying Earthworm Cave, connect with other Blessed Land or Secret Seal and exit through other exits.
There's also the "Errant Thunder Drum," because in reality he has already obtained this Law Treasure, so even after the Tribulation Divination is completed, he doesn't need to worry about losing it.
This time, he reaped a great harvest, and he accepted the price of the increased Tribulation Qi after the Tribulation Divination.
However, just as he took the "Errant Thunder Drum" out of his Storage Bag, he inadvertently touched the drum surface. The next moment, the palace with couplets hanging not far away suddenly opened, and a beam of light shot out from the palace, descending upon him.
The moment the palace doors swung open, Li Fuchan seemed to see Three Immortal Books enshrined on the altar inside the palace, one of which was merely a phantom.
The Three Immortal Books transformed into three beams of light within his consciousness, shining brightly and nearly obliterating his consciousness.
"Crimson-Slipped Golden Talisman Register," the second half of that couplet flashed through his mind in an instant. The radiant light enveloping him was emanating from a crimson Immortal Book.
Fortunately, this beam of light had no Restraint power.
Just as he was about to cast a spell to retreat, the palace doors suddenly slammed shut, and the radiant light vanished. His movements as he manipulated his Law Power froze. Li Fuchan looked horrified and hurriedly looked inward at his Sea of Qi.
The original scene of rolling Dark Clouds has vanished, replaced by a clean and clear expanse.
The Outer Scenery are gone.
He did not lose his composure due to this sudden change. He calmed his mind and carefully comprehended the situation, only to find that even the blessing from "Li Thunder" was gone.
Fortunately, he still possesses considerable Dao Attainment.
This finally put him at ease. As long as his Dao Attainment remained, even if he truly lost his Law Power and realm, there was still room for maneuver.
Illuminating Light surged between his brows, frantically illuminating and Tribulation Divination the unclear aspects of his current situation. The Illuminating Light was based on the intuition generated by his Movement Method nature to make Tribulation Divination and judgments. Fortunately, Li Fuchan's most commendable quality was his intuition.
After a while, his gaze fell on the couplet again.
The Three Thunders, Two Aversions, and Five Virtues, all the mysteries bestowed upon them the talismans, making them my officials.
The Crimson-Slipped Golden Talisman Register signify that all sacrifices are performed by me, and all the immortals revere and worship me.
Recalling the fleeting glimpse of the three Immortal Book he had seen earlier, he couldn't help but exclaim, "No way?"
