" Immortal Lord, we are willing to send our strongest successors into the Immortal Palace to make it shine. We only wish that the Nine Heavens will join forces to fight against the great enemy!" The Supreme Supreme the Xu Family, Wei Family, Lü Family Supreme, Tuogu Family Supreme bowed forward in unison.
In fact, the leaders of these aristocratic families had been observing and finally concluded that the beings on the upper level had entered the Xian Dao, and the so-called rebellion against humanity was nothing but a fallacy.
Compared to so-called news, these old guys who had lived for half an era or even longer trusted their own eyes more, firmly believing that they couldn't be wrong. Therefore, the title of Palace Master was changed to Immortal Lord, and their attitude also changed drastically, becoming eager to climb up this towering tree.
In an instant, the ancient hall became extremely quiet; you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked in this direction, and everyone waited.
The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy was also waiting. If the heir of the Longevity Family switched allegiance to the Immortal Palace, the Immortal Academy's power would inevitably be damaged, but the old man didn't care and took everything in stride.
Why did these people establish the Immortal Academy? To cultivate invincible seeds, as the key to victory in the future battle.
Now, a True Immortal has emerged from the Nine Heavens!
Shallow water can only nurture loaches; if one wants to raise True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, the vast ocean of the Immortal Palace is undoubtedly more suitable. Moreover, the achievements of the Immortal Palace Master have already surpassed all others of this era.
Time passed slowly, but the person on the steps remained silent, not uttering a single word for a long time, like a petrified statue, exuding a serene and otherworldly aura.
"Cross the path of green rust, and you will enter the Immortal Palace." The Lord of the Immortal Palace finally spoke, still indifferent, but to the Supreme Beings it sounded like the thunder of the Xian Dao, the might of the Immortals like a prison.
A wisp of Chaos mist flowed, his long gray hair danced in the air, and his bronze face was revealed.
It was a withered, sinister figure, seated high on a wooden chair, with a thick shadow behind him, stained with blood. He looked down upon the past, present, and future. Every part of him radiated divine light, carrying an aura of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm and eternal existence.
He issued the decree, and in an instant, the Bronze Immortal Palace glowed. Thousands of pieces of bronze rust trembled slightly. They were not the real body, but the imprint of the law, reshaping the order. They showed unique folds, intertwined into long, thin curves, and then paved a path of life and death outside the bronze palace's projection, soaring into the clouds!
Outside, showers of light fell, Xian Dao energy flowed, and emerald clouds surged, causing the heavens to tremble. A majestic and terrifying Dharma image appeared, towering into the clouds, enveloped in Chaos light, shaking the entire Great Red Heaven.
The aura was so immense and awe-inspiring that many people couldn't help but kneel down in worship, utterly devout. Some cultivators below the level of "Self Severing One" in the border region almost experienced a sudden enlightenment, all gaining something, their bodies and souls seemingly purified.
What shocked everyone present even more was the immortal runes on the decree. At the end of the copper-rusted road lay immortal skills, immortal techniques, and even Immortal Bone. The most outstanding among them would even receive personal transmissions of their skills from the master of the Immortal Palace.
An even greater Fortune than the Heavenly Deity Academy and the Immortal Academy!
This sent shockwaves through everyone's hearts. The Lunar Jade Rabbit's eyes turned green with rage; her former crystal-clear red was gone. She unconsciously tightened her grip, causing the White Qilin in her arms to cry out...
Almost the instant the decree was issued, hundreds of Divine Rainbow flew out, their light boundless. The descendants of the Longevity Clan, who had originally planned to accompany the Supreme to pay homage, all made their move at this moment, eager to impress the True Immortal.
Not only the younger generation, but also the ancients from ten thousand years ago, are vying for this Fortune.
But this time the outcome was unexpected; not long after, a renowned master fell from grace.
Xuan Kun, one of the young Supreme of the Heavenly Deity Academy, was a figure of equal renown to Wang Xi, Yao Yue, and Lü Lü Tuo. But at this moment, he was bleeding profusely in the Green Copper, and a living being manifested to fight him, defeating him badly and causing him to fall off the Divine Space Path, crashing headfirst into the bloody mud.
This was a tragedy, and it ended too quickly.
"How could this be? Xuan Kun has cultivated three strands of Immortal Qi..." someone exclaimed, unable to believe it, their voice trembling.
On the other side, a beautiful woman who was going through the challenge screamed. Her beautiful face was filled with panic, and her green hair flew wildly and fell down, like a bird with broken wings, looking very weak.
An elder from the Lü Family stepped forward and caught him, but his face betrayed his disappointment.
Everyone was shocked. This was Lü Hong, the heir of the Lü Family, a young Supreme who had merged with the Perfect Seed ( Life Seed ), yet he had also failed.
Bronze Immortal Palace, the Supreme who had just emerged also witnessed this scene.
The old man of the Lü Family looked rather grim. He sighed inwardly. Lü Hong was already the most outstanding descendant of the family, but in the eyes of True Immortal, she was clearly not qualified.
Or rather, Lü Hong wasn't impressive enough to compare to Ning Chuan, the six-time champion, or Tian Zi, the ten-time champion. These people were all hailed as young supreme beings, but once they embarked on the trial path laid out by the immortal figures, their true abilities became readily apparent.
"There is still a gap..." the old man thought to himself, then, recalling the imposing presence of the Longevity he had just met, he glanced discreetly at the white-robed elder not far away.
Just as he emerged, the old Supreme of the Immortal Palace transmitted a message to him, demanding 'personnel' in a very indifferent manner, indicating that the Lü Family owed the Immortal Palace a great debt of karma.
And cause and effect must be repaid.
"Isn't it just that this old geezer is trying to seek personal gain, making it sound so noble?" The Supreme of the Lü Family's eyes flickered, then he fell silent again.
A moment later, the successive failures of the Purple Mansion (a family of Longevity ), the Heavenly Lord Purple Sun who had refined the Primordial Purple Qi Seed, and the Lan Clan's successor, Lan Xian, caused the old man of the Lü Family family to relax a little.
That very evening, this old, frail living fossil found the Supreme of the Immortal Palace and presented him with a generous gift.
Immortal Gold, rare items... even the insights written by the ancestor of the Lü Family, a True Immortal, Wuliang. This time, the Lü Family has spared no expense to try and gain access to an Longevity.
"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. Our friendship is deep, and I will personally recommend you to the Palace Master at that time." The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace laughed and readily agreed to the task entrusted to him, hinting that he would take special care of Lü Hong.
The old man from the Lü Family was quite surprised, not expecting the other party to have such great authority.
"That would be perfect." He took a sip of tea and gestured for his descendants to step forward and pay their respects.
Inside the palace, Lü Hong's hair brushed against her face, her fair, snow-white face burning hot, her two long, slender, fair legs tense, her heart filled with unease.
She was proud by nature, and she had entered the Heavenly Deity Academy on her own merit. This kind of backdoor admission was a first for her, and she couldn't accept it emotionally.
However, as a member of the Longevity family, she must seize this opportunity, because the Lü Family needs her...
A moment later, the two left. Gazing at the towering immortal Immortal Palace at the end of the Great Red Heaven, Lü Hong took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, outlining a Perfect World curve that was breathtakingly beautiful.
"This is the last time. As long as I can get guidance from True Immortal, I will be no worse than anyone else..." A glint flashed in her eyes as she vowed to stand out in the Immortal Palace.
As she spoke, a touch of heroism appeared on the Life Fairy's face, and her exquisite and beautiful features became even more captivating under the moonlight...
Outside the bronze hall, after the Lü Family Supreme left, someone else came to offer gifts.
This time it's the Longevity Lan Family, just like the Lü Family, a family specifically chosen by the Immortal Palace Supreme...
Amidst the chaos of the mortal world, Su Yu was diligently cultivating at the mouth of the Immortal Spring, beneath him lay the graceful Peacock Immortal, whose body exuded ghostly aura.
She was exhausted. Her usually pale face was flushed, and her delicate, slender collarbones were also rosy. A soft warmth emanated from her cool body, as if she had stepped from the underworld into the mortal world. She looked much more vibrant and beautiful.
As the scene shifts downwards, the image becomes abrupt; the previous allure vanishes, and the Ghost Immortal is bound by shackles on his ankles and wrists, unable to move, and sealed here.
All of this was the consequence of a backlash midway through.
The incident was quickly quelled, and the culprit was easily suppressed by the master of the Immortal Palace.
Soon, Su Yu finished inhaling and exhaling the essence of Longevity, and his aura became increasingly ethereal. Even the depths of his eyes erupted with a tidal luster, which was the divine charm of Xian Dao.
"Sizzle!"
A Divine Rainbow shot out, deep and dark, which was a fist-sized piece of Dark Immortal Gold.
Su Yu activated the Chaos Flame to forge a necklace, or more accurately, a collar, which he then placed on the Peacock Woman.
After doing all this, he activated the incantation, and instantly the woman who was still resting with her eyes closed changed her expression, and was forced to revert to her original form amidst a scream.
As the dark Divine Radiance flowed, a beautiful black-feathered peacock appeared, its exquisite and slender body radiant with black and gold feathers. These feathers were not simply black, but also shone with gold, illuminating all directions. However, this time, it had a black and gold tuft around its long neck.
"No, you can't do this to me..." the Ghost Immortal cried out, his eyes pleading.
It really didn't want to be a mount again, especially not one that bore the symbol of humiliation.
"Why didn't you think of this when you made your move? With your mindset, you dare to try and obtain the immortal scripture through me." Su Yu said calmly, then flipped over and leaped onto the black peacock.
"I misunderstood something just now, please forgive me, sir..." the black peacock transmitted through divine thought, deeply regretting its actions.
Through dual cultivation, she awakened some memories of her past life, learning that she came from the Immortal Domain. This change in identity made her unwilling to be subservient to others, but the ending was tragic, as she was instantly overpowered...
Su Yu, with an indifferent expression, rode his mount out and headed towards a battlefield of immortals, seeking an opportunity.
On his shoulder, a golden butterfly fluttered and danced, shimmering with a brilliant luster. This was the Imperial Butterfly, which had broken free of its cocoon in its slumber and ascended to the Void Dao Realm.
Chapter 808 The Burial Ground of the Fairy Butterfly
Beyond the Great Red Heaven lies the chaotic zone near the Imperial Pass. This is the battlefield of immortals and the most terrifying trial ground. Even ordinary sect Sect Master at the Self-Severing Realm cannot traverse this place and may encounter the most terrible changes.
The sealed-off area is so vast that its exact size cannot be counted. Deserts stretch for hundreds of millions of miles, with sand and gravel turning into swirling winds that sweep across the land, etching the marks of time. In fact, this place was originally the Life Source Land, Immortal Land that received the essence of heaven and earth and was nourished by the power of the Sun-Moon, and stars. Now, however, it is desolate, its past glory gone, leaving only barrenness and corpses.
At the horizon, a dark light soared into the sky, stretching for ninety thousand miles. A black peacock, bathed in celestial radiance, walked among the stars. The man sitting above had empty eyes, and in the instant they opened and closed, the endless starry sky vanished.
"The ancient fairy butterfly fell to its final resting place, tracing its bloodline, and landed here..." These were Su Yu's soft words.
He looked down at the desert, and suddenly his whole body glowed. His aura changed drastically, and a blood-red ring of the Great Dao rotated behind him, imprinted with countless intricate runes. The divine ring reflected his light, making him appear even more transcendent, like the ruler of the River of the Underworld.
At the center of the rune, the Imperial Butterfly's wings were shrouded in golden silk, like a golden spirit. Its bloodline had been fully activated, exuding an undying divine charm and sensing the aura of the same lineage.
"Boom!"
Dust billowed as brilliant, chaotic Chaos spread, burning away all the visible yellow sand.
Soon, an underground palace emerged, with mottled murals on the outermost layer, but it looked very dilapidated and did not resemble the Burial Earth of immortals.
Su Yu led Imperial Butterfly inside. The dimly lit tomb was completely silent except for the sound of their footsteps.
"Sizzle!"
A divine light flashed, and something moved, quickly plunging into the soil, trying to escape.
This was a divine blue herb, its color a clear, translucent blue. A human face, a woman, was etched on the veins of its leaves. She was beautiful, with delicate features, possessing an ethereal quality. It emitted a misty spiritual energy and radiated a brilliant glow, making it appear utterly dreamlike. However, at this moment, this plant Spirit Deity looked terrified and fled rapidly.
" The Divine Medicine... was caused by consuming Immortal Qi before, and is now being blocked by this net." Su Yu said softly, pressing down with one finger. The Yao Yin shifted, and Chaos light surged, blocking the Divine Medicine, preventing it from advancing or retreating.
This object can travel through the Sun-Moon, Void; even Supreme would find it difficult to capture. However, it was unlucky enough to encounter a being capable of slaying immortals.
The herb was half a meter tall, entirely ice-blue, with a rich, intoxicating fragrance. Its leaves had pale golden veins, giving it a noble appearance. It knelt there, trembling, its most sensitive nature, as it was a spiritual root of heaven and earth, knowing that it was in grave danger and had unfortunately encountered a peerless master.
"I'm willing to offer the medicine, I hope you'll spare my life." The Divine Medicine transmitted its message, but unlike a cultivator's, it merely emitted a strange fluctuation that allowed people to perceive its intent.
The Imperial Butterfly stared at the plant, or more precisely, at the face depicted on its veins. After careful examination, it shook its head, realizing it didn't recognize the face...
"Since we live in such precarious circumstances, wouldn't it be a good path for you to leave with me, shed your grassy form, and transform yourself?" Su Yu said.
Then, before the other party could react, a Qiankun sleeve fell down and put the Blue Silver Grass inside.
The group continued their journey, and then they came across a pool from which a sacred and pure aura rose, yet it also possessed a malevolent energy, indicating that a ferocious creature was lurking there.
"Sizzle!"
Su Yu's forehead bone was translucent, and a ghastly red line of light flew out, tearing through the Void and probing into the darkness.
Soon, battle cries erupted from within, the battle ended in an instant, and a headless corpse was pulled out and placed before the Immortal Pool.
This was an ancient being at the Escape One Realm, clad in tattered armor, his neck dripping with blood, as if he had just been beheaded. Residual immortal Immortal Qi emanated from his body, indicating his identity: a descendant of True Immortal who died here. Furthermore, the fact that he was buried here suggests a deep connection to the Imperial Butterfly lineage; otherwise, how could such a burial be possible?
He has become a spirit, and although he has no head, most Dunyi pose no threat to him thanks to his body, which has been bathed in Immortal Blood. He is a ruler of this desert.
"Buzz!"
The ancient corpse trembled violently, emanating intense energy as it struggled to break free. Without the suppression of the blood-red threads, this force would have been enough to shatter the heavens and overturn a vast desert stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
"Fellow Daoist, are you looking for your head?"
Su Yu spoke, and something flew out from above his head. At the same time, he suddenly clasped his hands together, forming a magic seal. In an instant, the patterns of time and space trembled, and countless threads flew out from the Void, outlining a mirror of time.
At this moment, the Mirror of Time and the Dragon Bone Mirror merged into one, entwined with ancient Daoist patterns, exuding an aura of timelessness and vicissitude.
"Traces back!" Su Yu shouted, and a wisp of crystalline divine thought flew out from his forehead and surged into the Dragon Bone Mirror.
