The Supreme of the Immortal Palace felt a longing in his heart, yet his thoughts were in turmoil, for this messenger had clearly come with malice, demanding that True Immortal kneel before him to receive the decree—a deeply humiliating act.
However, he knew the Immortal King's majesty and that the Immortal King's messenger was someone he could not afford to offend. Therefore, he could only kneel down and listen to the decree, not daring to make the slightest offense.
Time passed slowly, and the Supreme of the Immortal Palace felt as if time had almost stopped. He waited in vain for the sound of the decree being read aloud, which made him somewhat tormented.
Suddenly, in the bright daylight, copper sparks fell, and the messenger, surrounded by Immortal Qi, walked into the Bronze Immortal Palace with ripples in his steps. He looked down at the kneeling worshippers with a cold expression.
"Summon the Remnant Immortal." Su Yu stepped onto a divine throne in the Immortal Palace, ignoring the Xian Dao restrictions placed there, and issued the command.
The divine sound entered his ears, carrying a terrifying Supreme power, as if three thousand gods and demons were chanting scriptures. The Great Dao roared, shaking the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace so much that his body felt like it was about to crack, and he felt his primordial spirit was unstable, about to leave his body along with the terrifying sound waves.
This startled him, as he knew it was a terrifying sonic technique, definitely created by Longevity.
He stood up, his body hunched, and said respectfully, "As the messenger commands."
As for Su Yu's mention of the title "Remnant Immortal," the old man pretended not to hear it. He quickly left, heading deeper into the Bronze Immortal Palace, while pondering the inclinations of the Immortal King of the Immortal Domain.
"This barren land has attracted an envoy from the Immortal King; could it be related to the Foreign Realm...?"
The Immortal Palace Supreme and moved even faster. A moment later, he saw a crystal lamp in a secret chamber. The lamp body was made of red crystal, with a platinum base, and it emitted a seven-colored celestial light, like an exquisite creation of the Heavens.
The ancient lamp was placed on a bone altar, which quickly blurred, forming a Void rift through which living beings could not pass, but could still send messages.
"My lord, return quickly! An envoy from the Immortal Domain has arrived."
On the other side of the front hall, many beings from the Immortal Palace knelt down at the foot of the steps, filled with fear and trepidation. Among them was Di Chong, the invincible seed of the younger generation of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and a great Di Chong of the Immortal Palace.
He was originally in seclusion, fusing with the Immortal Blood, but today was a momentous occasion. The array patterns that the Heavenly God Elder had set up for him shattered instantly. It was Di Chong from the Dao Realm and witnessed the scene of the Immortal Domain envoy soaring freely and dominating the world.
At this moment, this chosen one of heaven trembled with fear, prostrating himself before the Invincible One power of humanity, displaying utmost humility.
He felt no humiliation whatsoever; to be able to meet the envoy from the Immortal Domain was a great honor. Moreover, this envoy came from the noble Immortal King Realm, someone whom even ancient ancestors would kneel to greet, who would look down upon True Immortal and regard those who Longevity as Remnant Immortal.
All these outrageous acts converged at this moment, causing Di Chong tremble and feel inexplicably excited.
"I now understand the might of the celestial messenger!"
The Immortal Palace Successor sighed inwardly. His kneeling posture was perfectly upright. At this moment, he raised his eyes, wanting to see the immortal envoy's demeanor, but all he could see was a blur. The immortal light on the steps surged, and what fell into his vision were endless, extremely complex runes that were dazzling to the eye and impossible to comprehend. This made him feel even more terrified, and he showed a rare sense of shame.
Born into a filthy world, he suddenly met a distinguished guest from the Immortal Domain, which made Di Chong reflect deeply.
Sitting in the seat of the Immortal Palace Master, Su Yu leisurely examined the bronze vessel. Countless ages had passed, and his memories of the future were hazy, but the imprint of the Bronze Immortal Palace remained. His reappearance at this moment gave him a sense of dislocation, as if time had flowed by.
With his keen eye, he could naturally see that although the bronze palace here was imposing and magnificent, it lacked a sense of historical authenticity and was merely a projection.
The true artifact should be in the hands of the Remnant Immortal; he dares not stray from it, for it is a life-saving item.
Even the Immortal Spring Eye of the Immortal Palace is not located here; only a shallow tributary flows out to supply the descendants.
"The bronze palace should be returned to its rightful owner."
Su Yu pondered, a faint killing intent flowing in his eyes, waiting for the Remnant Immortal to arrive.
A few breaths later, the Supreme of the Immortal Palace hurried over and transmitted a message to inform the master, but it might take some time.
"My lord has gone to an ancient place, please wait a moment, envoy." He carefully chose his tone, trying not to offend the envoy from the Immortal Domain, and added that he had prepared generous gifts to offer in order to help Su Yu embark on the path to Longevity.
In the course of his journey, the old man's attitude changed considerably, because he had received confirmation from the Lord of the Immortal Palace that the True Immortal had identified the Immortal King's runes and confirmed the Immortal Envoy's identity.
Faced with the old Supreme's attempt to win him over, Su Yu's eyes remained calm and unwavering. He fixed his gaze on the Immortal Palace Supreme and said in a low voice, "I've heard that there's a 'Suppressing Chaos Calming Art' inheritance in the Lower Realm. Do you have it here?"
" The Chaos Calming Art."
The Supreme of the Immortal Palace felt a chill in his heart, both shocked by the celestial envoy's greed and relieved.
If one only seeks the 'technique' and can use it to befriend a Immortal King's power to aid the Immortal Palace's return to the Immortal Domain, then a Chaos Calming Art is nothing special.
As the mastermind behind the destruction of the Supreme Hall, Wang Changsheng could not intimidate him.
"My lord, the Chaos Calming Art is currently kept by the Wang Clan." The old man consciously changed his form of address and briefly introduced the Wang Clan.
"Is it a branch of the Wang Clan of Langya Domain the Immortal Domain?!"
Su Yu spoke, mentioning the ancient history of the Immortal Domain, his tone ethereal, saying, "This family is quite interesting; they obtained the inheritance of an Immortal King."
The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace nodded, knowing that what the Immortal Domain envoy had said concerned the past of the Immortal Ancient Era. It was during the middle of the Immortal Ancient Era that a prodigy born to face calamity entered the realm of Immortal King, mastered the Chaos Calming Art, and became a regional hegemon.
At that time, the interdimensional war had not yet fully begun; it was only a small-scale battle. Due to certain events, a great figure was brought to the forefront. When the Foreign Realm army knocked on the gate, the Saint Spirit used the Chaos Calming Art, killed an Immortal King of the Foreign Realm, and quelled the chaos of the Great Red Heaven.
This is also the origin of the name "Chaos Calming Art ".
However, the Chaos Calming Art ultimately failed to do so. The Immortal King was also severely injured after that battle, and finally perished as his primordial spirit collapsed.
After his death, he left behind a legacy that, over many years, was obtained by a True Immortal of the Wang Clan and became the clan's secret method. It was not, as legend has it, that the Wang Clan ancestor quelled the turmoil.
The latter is a misconception. The Wang Clan played a significant role in it, trying to solidify their claim of being Immortal King family. However, those who truly understand that period of history would only sneer.
Seeing the concerns of the Immortal Palace Supreme, Su Yu explained that the ancestral home of the Langya Wang Clan had long been abandoned. The Langya Wang had once had a dispute with a very powerful ancient lineage, was defeated, and eventually migrated to a remote and sparsely populated part of the Immortal Domain, where even preserving themselves was a struggle.
Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to have been freed from his shackles and entered a familiar territory, immediately beginning to offer his advice.
"My lord, to obtain the Chaos Calming Art, we must capture Wang Changsheng. The rest of the Wang Clan have mastered this technique have had restrictions placed deep within their consciousness; once they touch the secrets of the Chaos Calming Art, they will die instantly." The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace transmitted his voice, this time truly intent on killing, saying, " The Wang Clan's immortal weapon is the Longevity War Halberd, a flawless immortal Xian Dao treasure, extremely powerful. However, our sect also possesses an immortal weapon, so we are not afraid of this halberd. The key is Wang Changsheng; his cultivation is extraordinary, and he will be very difficult to capture."
Speaking of Wang Changsheng, the Supreme of the Immortal Palace was generous with his praise, saying that if it weren't for the world's rules, he might have achieved even greater things.
He didn't say that being placed in the Immortal Domain would lead to immortality, because such a statement might displease the envoy from the Immortal Domain.
This is a common problem among beings in the Immortal Domain: enjoying a superior environment with laws that surpasses even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they still look down upon the barren Lower Realm with an air of superiority. They absolutely refuse to acknowledge that beings in the Lower Realm the same cultivation level are stronger than those in the Immortal Domain. (BJ Volume and Local Volume)
Su Yu sat in his honored seat, smiled, and, seeing the old servant of the Immortal Palace's eagerness to show off, gave him the opportunity.
"My lord hails from the Immortal Domain and is a direct descendant of the Immortal King. With just a decree, Wang Changsheng can be sent to the Foreign Realm Border Wasteland fight against the alien realm. By imposing harsh orders, even if Wang Changsheng manages to slay the Foreign Realm Emperor Zun, he himself will be severely injured. At that time, I will wield my immortal artifact as an ally, forming a powerful alliance with my lord, and we will then threaten the lives of the Wang Clan family..."
Chapter 786 The Heart-wrenching Cry of Immortals, The Birth of the Double Pupils Woman
"At that time, the Chaos Calming Art' will be readily available... Wang Changsheng is the son of True Immortal; his flesh and blood, and his Dao Fruit, would greatly benefit any human cultivator who were to consume him."
In the grand and imposing bronze hall, the old man offered his advice in a sinister manner. When he spoke about how to deal with Wang Changsheng, a divine light shone in the old Supreme's eyes, and a cold smile hung on his aged face, revealing an undisguised hostility.
In the eyes of the Immortal Palace Supreme, Wang Changsheng had committed grave sins. First, he came from the Nine Heavens, a spirit of dust, which was an original sin, far inferior to the noble being of the Immortal Domain. Second, his senior's blood and energy were depleted and he could hardly continue, while the other party was a direct descendant of True Immortal, whose cultivation was advancing rapidly.
Although the two sides rarely clashed, these two original sins made the Immortal Palace Supreme happy to see Wang Changsheng perish.
Su Yu glanced at this insidious lackey and couldn't help but nod in approval. This was a talented individual, similar to Ning Chuan in many ways; if used properly, he could be incredibly effective.
While it's easy to kill easily, it's also a waste of resources.
Limited by the Spacetime Lock, he cannot fight for long periods, only able to briefly unleash the pinnacle of human power. To attain the throne in this era, he must break free from the shackles of cause and effect; this is the prerequisite for everything.
"You old servant, you certainly have quite a few tricks up your sleeve," Su Yu said.
Seeing the slight change in the Immortal Domain envoy's attitude, the old man was secretly pleased. He bowed and said obsequiously, "I am fortunate to serve the celestial envoy; I dare not shirk my duty!"
Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he saw several strands of Immortal Qi flowing in Su Yu's hand. These were the pure breaths exhaled by True Immortal, extremely precious to human cultivators.
The Supreme of the Immortal Palace was shocked, his body trembling slightly. He longed for this Imperishable Substance, hoping to refine it into his sea of consciousness and prolong his lifespan.
This made him even more attentive, knowing that this envoy from the Immortal Domain had unfathomable depths, and that serving him well would be better than ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.
Unbeknownst to the old man, a wisp of black energy silently emerged from between his brows, a sign of impending doom.
A Tribulation Seed seeped into the body of this old Supreme, slowly altering his original self.
For the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Supreme of the Immortal Palace served him at his side.
Suddenly, dark red lines appeared on his face, dense and numerous, as if they were about to bleed. He froze, his eyes filled with despair.
The old man finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The instant the Demon Dandelion seed invaded his body, a violent surge erupted from behind, like a raging torrent, as Immortal Tribulation Substance rolled in.
In an instant, he was engulfed in Tribulation Blood...
"The Hundred Breaths of Dye Supreme is too slow."
Su Yu put down the jade cup, and the steam rising from it turned into a crimson mist, radiant with brilliant light and auspicious glow. This was fruit tea brewed from the sacred medicinal fruit.
With the palace servants by his side, he sat upright on the bronze throne, overlooking the ancient palace, and felt a sense of the future.
Real and desolate!
That's it...
Su Yu murmured, his gaze shifting as if an entire era had passed. A moment later, he laughed again, casting aside fragments of future memories, determined to become Immortal King in this Lifetime.
As the daylight faded, the Remnant Immortal finally arrived at dawn the next day.
Even across several realms, one could sense the traces of Xian Dao; they were faint, but their essence remained, belonging to the Immortal Dao Domain, causing ripples to appear in the vast universe.
The newcomers seemed to be in a hurry, and in the final stretch, they even unleashed divine power, which was then applied to the ancient chariot.
"Boom!"
Inside the bronze palace projection, Su Yu opened and closed his eyes, hearing a rumbling sound coming from afar. A bronze chariot swept across the sky, crushing the heavens, and rushed here, radiating Immortal of the Foreign Realm brilliance.
The next moment, a chariot arrived, pulled by eight celestial horses of different shapes. It sped along, tearing through the sky and carrying Chaos energy, until it reached the place of the Immortal Palace's inheritance.
"They've arrived."
Su Yu stood up, his previously calm expression suddenly turning sharp. A hazy light swirled around him, and within his inner Grotto-Heaven, ten spiritual bodies were poised to strike. A Dark Heavenly Halberd gleamed with frost, stained with scarlet blood, ready to sever the head of Xian Dao being.
"I am honored by the arrival of the celestial messenger, and I have been unable to greet him from afar. I hope the messenger will forgive me."
From the sky, someone spoke, and a man stepped down through the Void. He looked handsome and appeared to be only in his early twenties.
In terms of appearance, this person's face was Perfect World, exuding Immortal Qi, yet also possessing an eerie quality. However, the pallor on his face disrupted the harmony, reflecting his unwell state. Wisps of Xian Dao swirled around his forehead, emanating from there. This was the fluctuation of an immortal artifact, the very foundation of the Immortal Palace's lineage, which had always been in the hands of this founder.
"Now that you are here, please accept the decree so that I may complete my mission."
The silver-robed Supreme being, who was waiting in the Immortal Palace, flipped his hand, and the ' Immortal King's Decree' appeared, bursting forth with waves of great Dao light. Where the decree landed, celestial light soared into the sky, and auspicious energy rose, like ten thousand blazing suns across the sky, possessing a breathtaking and awe-inspiring power.
"It is indeed the mark of Immortal King."
The Remnant Immortal's expression turned solemn upon confirmation, wondering what the unknown Immortal King of the Immortal Domain intended to do, and he was quite uneasy.
His life's ups and downs were inextricably linked to the decrees of the Immortal King. It was the conferment of titles by his father and grandfather in his youth that allowed him to rise Qingyun; later, when the war Immortal Ancient broke out, the Immortal King issued a decree, sending him to aid the Nine Heavens.
Later, he witnessed the horror of the interdimensional war. Supreme beings fell like rain, True Immortal died in droves, and even the indestructible Immortal King perished in the battle. Almost everyone knew that the Primordial Ancient Realm was doomed to defeat and be annihilated, and that there would be no hope for that era.
In that terrifying atmosphere, even some Longevity went mad, unable to comprehend life and death, their Dao hearts shattered, and they reached the depths of despair.
This Immortal King witnessed the horrific " Tortoise Shell Prophecy Battle," a bloody battle that began in the Human Dao Domain and continued into the Immortal Dao Domain. In the end, every being chosen by the tortoise shells wore a death wish and embarked on a path of no return. This terrified him.
As a descendant of Immortal King, holding a revered position, why should I be buried alive with these madmen from the Primordial Ancient Realm?
He was unwilling to let things end like this!
Finally, this True Immortal secretly fled back to the Immortal Domain, returning to the Great Universe where his family resided. However, the truth could not be concealed forever; the matter was later uncovered. A powerful figure, who despised deserters, banished him and three of his old friends from the Immortal Domain, where they remain to this day...
