The Immortal Palace Appears

On the empty land in front of the underground palace of the ruins, figures slowly emerged.

Qin Qin and the others all turned their gazes to Xu Aotian.

Xu Aotian was taken aback when he saw the group of cultivators present, then an extremely excited smile appeared on his face, "I thought that brat Shi Xuan would come to kill me personally."

"I never expected that kid to be so docile, sending such a group of delicate beauties to chase after me. Isn't this just to expand my harem?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zun, standing in the group, looked extremely grim, because he and Mr. Xu were the only two men there.

He said coldly, "Boy, you're provoking me and Mr. Xu."

"Hehe."

Xu Aotian chuckled, "That's right, I never considered you two as human beings. In my eyes, you're nothing more than two corpses."

As for these beauties, they will soon become my brides. I will treat you all very well then, and you will join me in dominating the Mysterious Heaven and traveling through the three thousand worlds.

The women reacted in various ways upon hearing this.

Qin Qin had been watching the aura of fortune above Xu Aotian's head. Just after he finished speaking, the purple aura of fortune above his head suddenly turned down, turning into a purplish-black color.

"Senior sister, let me suppress this arrogant and ignorant Puxin man."

Xu Caichen had two major sore spots in his life: the Miscellaneous Dao Institute and his wife and children.

Now this guy is actually telling me right in front of me that he wants to take his two wives into his harem.

If he doesn't suppress this brat, how will he face his wives and make promises in the future?

Qin Qin nodded. "Yes, anyway, his death is not far off."

Hahaha...

Upon hearing this, Xu Aotian burst into laughter.

"My beautiful lady, I love your chaste and virtuous appearance. Don't worry, I will definitely make you my first wife. As for the others, I'll let them be my concubines. I think you are all women of Heaven's Mandate, and you will surely bring my fortune to new heights."

"Town!"

Xu Caichen was completely enraged and was about to make a move when he was interrupted by a voice.

"Senior brother, wait a moment."

Chu Caiyi, who was usually quiet, suddenly spoke up.

"Junior sister, are you planning to make a move?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Caichen immediately stopped what he was doing.

Chu Caiyi shook her head. "No, I just feel that this underground palace in front of me is very familiar, but it is also very different from the palace in my memory. It seems that something is missing."

Upon hearing this, the anger in everyone's hearts vanished, and they all carefully examined the seemingly ordinary underground palace before them. They did not find anything different about it.

Chu Caiyi had one more thing she didn't say: she vaguely sensed that something in the palace was calling to her.

The feeling was so strange that she couldn't explain it to everyone for a while.

"Oh, little beauty, you do have some knowledge. This underground palace wasn't originally what you see now. Since you want to see it, I'll grant your wish."

As Xu Aotian spoke, a token appeared in his hand, and he murmured, "Your Majesty, your most loyal followers have arrived at your abode. Please unleash your supreme divine might."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of divine light enveloped his entire body.

The expressions on everyone's faces varied upon seeing this beam of divine light.

Xu Caichen squinted, utterly astonished. This celestial light was actually no weaker than the celestial light emanating from his master.

Xu Aotian is really a troublesome guy.

Qin Qin's lips curled up slightly. She clearly saw that Xu Aotian's originally purplish-black aura had turned black with the appearance of this celestial light.

Could there be a great terror hidden within this underground palace?

She subconsciously looked around at the crowd and noticed that the aura of fortune emanating from each of them had intensified.

Only Junior Sister Chu remained elusive; he still couldn't discern the aura of fortune emanating from her, as if some unseen force was shielding her from it.

Even with his heterochromatic eyes and having cultivated the Eye of World Destruction, he could still only see a blur of mist.

To her surprise, there seemed to be a golden light shimmering within that mist.

What exactly happened?

The immortal light emanating from Xu Aotian grew stronger and stronger, and it was seen that the immortal light on his body descended towards the underground palace behind him.

The underground palace, which had been standing firmly underground, emitted a rumbling sound.

Then, the underground palace suddenly rose slowly.

The underground palace was surrounded by celestial light, and the originally ordinary underground palace was suddenly filled with celestial radiance.

The divine light illuminated the entire ruins, and the Spiritual Qi beneath the underground palace erupted like a torrent, continuously surging out and gathering into clouds that surrounded the palace.

As the dust settled above the underground palace, a magnificent and exquisitely crafted celestial palace appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This underground palace—no, this celestial palace—is actually a treasure, and one that surpasses even divine weapons."

Xu Caichen looked at the magnificent and splendid celestial palace and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"An imperial treasure! Only legendary treasures of Immortal Emperor possess such power and radiance. Fortunately, this isn't an offensive treasure, or we'd be in serious trouble today."

Qin Qin was a well-read person in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, and she recognized the extraordinary nature of this immortal palace at a glance.

"Beautiful lady, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. However, you overlooked one issue. It's true that this celestial palace is a defensive magic treasure, and I cannot activate it. But a great terror guards this palace. Once they appear, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy."

Xu Aotian became more and more excited as he spoke, believing that victory was already in his grasp.

Looking at the terrifying celestial palace, Chen Zun murmured, "Gentlemen, perhaps we should retreat first?"

Chu Caiyi shook her head. "We can't leave. This place is already shrouded by the Immortal Palace's barrier."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zun subconsciously looked around and saw that the path they had come from had disappeared, replaced by a sky full of celestial light, giving them the feeling of being in a fairyland.

But Chen Zun had no desire to stay in this fairyland at all.

Click... Click...

With a series of clicking sounds, the gates of the celestial palace slowly opened.

Before the contents even emerged, the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy present felt a fear that emanated from the depths of their souls.

Even Bing Yan, who was secretly protecting everyone, couldn't help but frown.

Only Chu Caiyi slowly closed her eyes, focusing her attention on this familiar feeling.

The moment the gates of the Immortal Palace were fully opened, all the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy collapsed to the ground, their spiritual power and divine sense completely sealed by the terrifying aura emanating from the Immortal Palace.

Even Bing Yan, a Great Sage, felt a chill run down her spine. What exactly was inside that celestial palace?

What surprised her most was that Chu Caiyi was not frightened by the terrifying aura; instead, she showed an expression of ecstasy.

Xu Aotian, seeing the gates of the Immortal Palace already open, smiled slightly and shouted, "Her Majesty the Empress's Dark Moon Legion, descend upon this world!!!"
