He remained unmoved by the changes in the penalty area; life and death were merely a journey, far from the end...

Golden light surged, blurring the lines between near and far. A black divine bird cried out softly, flapped its wings, and in an instant traversed ten thousand miles, landing at the edge of the crimson sky.

Below, Shi Hao, who was building the ancient city with many other cultivators, felt a chill run down his spine.

Something's not right...

He looked up and saw layers of Dao patterns, surging mist, and a golden road stretching out, condensing into all sorts of strange lights and shadows, intertwining and swirling within this realm, a breathtaking sight.

But within this ultimate beauty lies the terrifying mark of banishment, which tears through the Void, intending to cast him into the abyss of chaotic spacetime.

Shi Hao was immediately alarmed. Just as he was about to draw his magic weapon to defend himself, an extremely powerful beam of light shot down and snatched him away like a chick, throwing him into the boundless Void.

"Thus, the cause and effect are resolved." Su Yu murmured, withdrawing his sleeve.

After dealing with this matter, a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked towards a certain spot. He then left the bronze hall, entered it, and decided to take charge of the situation there.

Sensing the Supreme of the Immortal Palace Master, the Supreme Being and the Chief Steward of the Immortal Palace arrived on a rainbow, followed by several other Supreme and many heirs from Longevity families.

These people were very sensible and dared not offend anyone. They remained outside the bronze hall, waiting for the Immortal Palace to summon them...

Beside the Xu Family's Supreme, a princess was granted the opportunity to pay homage to the Lord of the Immortal Palace, for she was the future hope of the Xu Family Dynasty.

Yao Yue arrived gracefully, her steps light and shimmering in the moonlight. Though it was daytime, she was enveloped in a watery moonlight, radiating ethereal purity. Her face was beautiful, elegant, and flawless, like a dream, no less stunning than Wang Xi's.

She did not come with Meng Tianzheng and the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy, but came from the Heavenly Deity Academy immediately after the Great Red Heaven War. Upon seeing the master of the Immortal Palace, this imperial princess was very cautious, following behind the Xu Family's Supreme in an attempt to observe the supreme figure who had defied Immortal of the Foreign Realm.

But the outcome left her pursing her lips, her starry eyes narrowing slightly in disappointment—all she saw was Chaos, and there was no sign of anyone quelling the rebellion.

When she wanted to observe again, the pacifiers had vanished, leaving only the majestic and enormous Bronze Immortal Palace floating in the air, its copper patina gleaming and radiating Wuliang light, suppressing this entire area.

Behind the Supreme of the Lü Family, Lü Hong gracefully approached, her green hair flowing freely, surrounded by countless Life essences, like a spirit manifested from a Life Source Land, impossible to ignore. Her eyes were large and full of intelligence, with deep green pupils. Although she was looking down at the moment, her eyes were secretly surveying the place surrounded by stars as she walked.

In this era, Longevity beings are nowhere to be seen, let alone supreme figures who suppress Immortal of the Foreign Realm.

The Supreme of the Ning Family, Lan Family, Feng Family, Wei Family, and Tuogu Family families—all Longevity clans—have arrived, requesting an audience with the master of the Immortal Palace...

Deep within the bronze palace, Su Yu closed his eyes, his body enveloped in crimson light. A magnificent ancient phoenix appeared, radiating auspicious energy, and clung to his shoulder, healing his Dao wounds.

"Did you find it?" he asked.

Below the steps, the Supreme of the Immortal Palace, dressed in white, respectfully said, "Reporting to the Palace Master, we, together with the Demon Dragon Dao Sect, Sword Valley, Fire Cloud Cave, and other sects, have searched the Eight Regions but have not found the Taiyang Tree. The target must have left several years ago, and should possess Supreme Artifact, or even an Immortal Xian Dao Secret Artifact, which would prevent us from being spied on and make it difficult to find."

"It's too late after all..."

Su Yu muttered to himself that the person he was looking for was naturally the woman who possessed the World Tree. She had been active in the Lower Realm, but he had been in seclusion at the time, so they had not met.

The other party is of noble status, a descendant of one of the founders of the Immortal Domain, and the Butcher is also his ancestor.

In another timeline, this woman with golden wings on her back reached the completion of the World Tree before the Dharma Ending, laying the foundation for the Immortal King.

Seeing his master pondering, the old servant changed his tone and bowed his head, saying, "My lord, please rest assured. This old servant has already created a fire-elemental ruin in the Void Realm, containing numerous Taiyang Divine Essence. Even a Quasi-Supreme would be tempted upon seeing it... Now, we are only waiting for the one destined for this calamity to walk into our trap."

As he spoke, the Supreme Immortal Palace had a sinister look on his face. This scheme was exactly what he had planned, and it was specifically aimed at people of great status and great fortune. He had personally crafted a Taiyang Divine Stele to respond to immortal artifacts and Supreme Artifact, as well as some divine objects that could help the World Tree evolve.

If the target is not online, he also negotiated with the family behind the Ten-Crown King to lend out the World Tree sapling. At that time, they would search the mountains and seas, and as long as that person was still in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and had not entered the forbidden zone, he would not be able to escape the hands of the Immortal Palace!

After hearing the old servant's explanation, Su Yu nodded, not overly surprised.

Those who cultivate themselves will stop at nothing...

Bronze Immortal Palace, some Supreme were exchanging ideas, and many were asking Meng Tianzheng and the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy about the identity of this important figure.

"Is it Remnant Immortal has recovered from his injuries? Or is it an invincible figure cultivated by the Immortal Palace in this era, even more amazing than Ye Qianyu, who defied the Immortal of the Foreign Realm of the Foreign Realm with a human body?" The Supreme of the Ning Family transmitted his voice.

He was staring intently at the Qing Ming, where blood-red light surged, a sword aura cleaved through the Heavenly Abyss, and countless black threads crisscrossed the sky, with wisps of black energy intertwining and swirling, as if opening the gates of Hell.

As the divine sense drew near, an overwhelming aura of malevolence swept over, so intense that even Supreme could not withstand it, their sea of consciousness feeling as if it were being pricked by needles.

Meng Tianzheng remained silent; since it concerned a taboo figure, he naturally wouldn't release any information. The other Supreme who were witnesses did the same.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, the Supreme of the Wei Family shook his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the terrifying sword energy and Immortal of the Foreign Realm remnants left on the border of the Great Red Heaven, and sighed.

After so many years, this generation has finally produced a pillar that can hold up the sky!

Not far away, the Four Phoenixes of the Wei Family, all dressed in white skirts and even their shoes and socks were as white as snow, stood gracefully, truly a beautiful sight.

"Boom!"

Just then, celestial music filled the sky, auspicious clouds bloomed, and a golden road stretched for countless miles, descending from beyond the realm.

Someone with great magical power opened up the universe and came from another place in the Nine Heavens, entering the Great Red Heaven.

The young people felt a jolt in their hearts, sensing a terrifying pressure.

"This is the symbol of the Yuyu Heaven Jin Family!"

"Such a grand display is unprecedented among the Supreme..."

Among the crowd, the Lunar Jade Rabbit, who had already emerged, muttered to itself, cradling a White Qilin in its arms. This caused the young seedlings from the Heavenly Deity Academy beside it to change their expressions; to speak recklessly of Invincible One was no small offense.

The Golden War Chariot slowly approached, looking dim and somewhat damaged, but it was a testament to a glorious battle that spanned two eras!

As they approached the edge of the Great Crimson Sky Wilderness, the creature inside the carriage emerged, landed on the ground, and entered the ancient city, behaving in a very low-key manner in some ways.

The patriarch of the Jin Family had witnessed Su Yu annihilating the ghost Ghost Immortal, and was therefore terrified...

"Brother Feng, Brother Lan... it's quite a rare occasion to have so many fellow Daoists gathered here."

Jin Taijun smiled, her hair was as white as silver, and there was a closed vertical eye between her eyebrows. At this moment, when facing the other Supreme, she seemed to have truly become the 'ancestor' of a noble family in the mortal world, just like her appearance. She spoke with a kind and gentle tone.

The other Supreme also nodded in acknowledgment, expressing high regard for Jin Taijun, whom they considered a formidable figure whom they were unwilling to offend lightly.

The Xu Family member looked surprised, understanding the situation perfectly; now it was up to Wang Changsheng to react.

Will he come? He probably will. After all, the Jin Family, which is closely related to the Wang Clan, has come. The punishment of a few of their offspring is far too lenient for people like them.

Moreover, Wang Da and the others are still alive, so the Immortal Palace has left them with some dignity...

"It's a pity that Wang Changsheng survived this ordeal." The Xu Family Supreme muttered to himself, hoping that Wang Changsheng would suffer a major setback.

King Xu is a sworn enemy; the two clans are at odds, and their enmity can be traced back to the Immortal Ancient times. Naturally, he does not want the Wang Clan to have an easy time.

A moment later, the Wang Clan's chariot broke through the air and arrived. A young man appeared; he had delicate features, red lips, and white teeth, and seemed quite out of place among the Supreme.

He was none other than Wang Changsheng, the direct grandson of True Immortal, a Supreme emperor who cultivated the Chaos Calming Art," an extremely terrifying figure with countless legends throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Immortals have appeared, wise men have gathered; today is a grand occasion of an era."

A very old voice rang out. Wang Changsheng spoke, his body surrounded by silvery-white blood energy. He looked at the crowd, nodded, and smiled.

"Brother Wang 'Dao Fruit attainment is extraordinary, living a second life, which is truly enviable..." Jin Taijun exclaimed, not in a sarcastic way, but in a heartfelt amazement.

At their age, with little time left in their Life, their greatest wish is to be reborn, to shed their Dao Embryo and regain their Lifetime.

However, doing so is extremely difficult, comparable to a life-or-death ordeal.

"Compared to the immortals in the palace, Longevity is but a firefly, nothing to speak of." Wang Changsheng chuckled, his black hair flowing freely, his teeth shining brightly white when he smiled, like a ray of morning glow.

Too young! That smile silenced many of the older folks. They had lived far too long; many were withered and lifeless, while this person was forging ahead, leaving them behind...

As the sunset faded, a faint sun rose, dimming the Bronze Immortal Palace, which was then bathed in countless starlight, becoming Eternal.

Outside the hall, none of the Supreme dared to express their dissatisfaction; they all waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the Bronze Immortal Palace opened, and the white-robed Supreme stepped out. His expression was indifferent, concealing an arrogance that gave him the confidence to stand above all others. He didn't even consider Wang Changsheng a threat.

"Those who enter this hall and recklessly raise weapons shall die! Those who misbehave before the hall shall be beheaded..."

The Immortal Palace Supreme spoke, reciting nine prohibitions in succession. The sound made some Supreme feel uncomfortable, but seeing the sharp sword energy outside the Great Red Heaven, their mood calmed down.

To have an audience with such a supreme figure, this is not excessive.

Then, the Grand Steward of the Immortal Palace emerged and cleared a path leading directly to the center of the Bronze Immortal Palace, guiding everyone to pay homage to the master of this place...

Chapter 807 Paving the Way with Copper Rust

As the palace doors opened, Meng Tianzheng stepped into the Bronze Temple and immediately sensed the vastness of the immortal mist. A black haze swept in, as if a massive snowstorm had engulfed the Human World, carrying a profound pressure and boiling malevolent energy that made all living beings tremble. Even the Supreme paled.

In a daze, he saw a Kun Peng soaring in the Qing Ming, then transforming into a woman in black, captivating in her beauty and gentle in appearance, but her pupils, like celestial halberds, emitted blinding beams of light...

"An immortal! A true Longevity!" Meng Tianzheng's body tensed; this was an emergency response, a seriousness he had to maintain.

But when he looked closely, all that remained was boundless darkness and churning mist; the woman had vanished. Starlight shone all around, forming the world within the palace. The great master had cleaved stars, crafted the celestial canopy, and ultimately condensed it into a miniature cosmic sea.

"Brother Tianzheng, why are you so nervous when paying respects to the immortals?" Wang Changsheng said, staring at them meaningfully.

Meng Tianzheng remained silent, gazing at the others. He noticed that they all appeared calm and showed no particular reaction. It seemed that only he had witnessed what had just happened, leaving him with a sense of unease, as if an unparalleled figure was lurking ahead.

This aura is definitely that of Longevity True Immortal!

There is no other possibility.

"Could that Remnant Immortal still be there?" Meng Tianzheng wondered to himself as he followed the others forward.

Before long, the divine path came to an end, where the group saw a magnificent and enormous temple covered in bronze rust. The aura of the Xian Dao was overwhelming and awe-inspiring. Clearly, this was the real Bronze Immortal Palace, and the outside world was merely a projection. All the great power was contained within this object.

The ancient Immortal Palace was covered in green patina, with some places stained with bright red blood, as if it had just experienced a terrible battle that buried the bones of countless lives.

As everyone arrived here, they felt a peculiar oppressive aura, causing them to tremble and lose their composure.

Without a doubt, there is True Immortal- level power here, far beyond what immortal artifacts or formations can compare to; its aura is terrifying.

The younger generation presented a different picture. Some were drenched in sweat, their faces flushed, as if carrying an Immortal of the Foreign Realm mountain on their backs, while others strolled leisurely, as if walking on flat ground. It seemed quite disparate...

As the Supreme of the Nine Heavens paid homage under the guidance of the old servant, this ancient land stirred. The seat made of Kun Wood shifted slightly, and the creature shrouded in Chaos light looked up, gazing at what was before them with sharp and piercing eyes, as if a heavenly sword was trembling.

"The last descendant of the ancient realm, why have you come to my Immortal Palace...?"

The next moment, the master of the Immortal Palace stood up, as if resonating with the Great Qian, causing the Bronze Immortal Palace to change. Bloody phantom images of Immortal Corpse appeared all around, the field distorted, and its power oppressed the Human World.

This is simply an invincible Battle Immortal!

The creatures below grew increasingly wary. This pacifier was far too powerful; a single word from him seemed to summon their very souls, causing them to tremble in fear.

You must understand that all those who came were Supreme. If someone were weaker, just those few dozen words, or even just a single sentence, would have been enough to shake their true soul out and cause them to die miserably in the Senluo Illusion.

"When the Lord of the Palace is born, he quells great turmoil and suppresses Immortal of the Foreign Realm Foreign Realm from other realms. His achievements are unparalleled in the world, and he saves living beings from suffering. We have also been blessed by his grace, so we have come to pay our respects..." Jin Taijun said with a smile, bowing slightly, willingly taking the lower position.

With her example serving as a starting point, the other Supreme also spoke up, praising Su Yu's actions.

Some were sincere, some harbored ulterior motives... but they all shared one common characteristic: a desire for the path to immortality and a yearning to know how the master of the Immortal Palace wielded the power to subdue immortals.

Su Yu observed indifferently, showing little emotion, remaining unmoved by everything before him.

In fact, 'he' is merely a shell, the shell of Ghost Immortal immortal who died tragically in the North Sea Stone Forest, imbued with a small amount of divine consciousness. His true body is currently in seclusion, healing the karmic wounds he suffered this time. The sacrifice is that black peacock; it possesses something Su Yu needs...
