I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 588: Entering the Royal Palace, Mrs. Jin is targeted (5k8, please subscribe)

Because Wei Tu and Cao Mi appeared in disguise and were unfamiliar faces, the monks in the hall took a quick look at them and then looked away without paying too much attention to them.

But Wei Tu secretly glanced at a few people in this group of monks.

It was because among these monks, there were a few "acquaintances" he knew.

There is no need to say much about the head of Shengya Mountain, "Lian Shourang", and the independent cultivator of Zheng State, "Jiuli Shangren".

To Wei Tu's surprise, Fu Linglong, with whom he had once had a "spring breeze", also came here.

The woman had a serene expression on her face. She sat cross-leggedly, holding a rosary in her hand. She was silently reciting scriptures with an old nun wearing the same monk's robe.

Although Weitu had never seen this old nun, he could guess with a little guess that she should be Fu Linglong's master - "Master Jinglian".

Next to Master Fu Linglong and his disciple, there were three monks wearing cassocks and with a halo on their faces.

These three monks, two old and one young, all have cultivation levels above the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Wei Tu did not see through the cultivation level of one of the white-browed monks. He estimated that his realm should be in the "late Nascent Soul stage".

"He must be a monk from the Wanfo Temple."

Wei Tu had some guesses in his mind.

If Shengya Mountain is the first gate in the orthodox area, then Wanfo Temple is the first Buddhist gate in the orthodox area and the first holy place for Buddhist practitioners in all countries.

Although its strength is not as good as Shengya Mountain, it is firmly established as the second largest force in the righteous world, so it is not a big problem.

After looking for a few times, Wei Tu and Cao Mi looked at each other, walked towards the "free cultivator area" where Master Jiuli and others were, and sat down cross-legged like other cultivators.

"Which country are you two fellow Taoists from? Why have I never seen you before?" Master Jiuli was dressed in Confucian robes. When he saw Wei Tu and Cao Mi approaching him, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding monks, and they all cast their spiritual consciousness over.

The Nascent Soul Realm is already considered the pinnacle of a realm. It is difficult to remain unknown and unacknowledged by the world.

In the past, when the secret realm of the Royal Palace was opened, there had been strangers who came, but when two of them came in a row, it was inevitable that people were a little surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Jiuli, it's me."

Seeing this, Wei Tu was not panicked. Before he came, he had guessed that he and Cao Mi's "new faces" might attract too many people's attention.

He smiled faintly and directly told Master Jiuli through voice transmission his other identity, "Fu Dao Ren".

——With the cooperation contract signed with Master Jiuli on the Tianming Zhenye page, he was not worried that Master Jiuli would reveal his "true identity" here.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Fu."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiuli suddenly understood, and a look appeared on his face as if he was looking at an acquaintance.

On the side, the cultivators who came to spy saw this scene, and immediately withdrew their spiritual sense and no longer paid too much attention to it.

——In the past, there have been cultivators who "disguised themselves" in the secret realm of the Royal Palace in order to avoid their enemies.

Since Master Jiuli knew Wei Tu and the other two, it was enough to prove that they were not "strange cultivators" in the outside world and had corresponding names.

This can ensure that they will not encounter any "unexpected situations" after entering the secret realm of the Royal Palace.

After all, the strength of each Nascent Soul cultivator in the Great Cang Immortal World can be estimated to a certain extent.

"Which one is the sea monster?"

At this time, Wei Tu, who had taken his seat, also began to look around and spy secretly in the hall.

His top priority was to find the sea beasts and monsters that entered the secret realm through the same entrance as him.

"Could it be those two?"

Wei Tu passed by the gathering places of the major sects and looked directly towards the "individual cultivator area" where he was.

Because there weren't that many people gathered at the moment, he quickly identified two suspicious characters.

One of these two people was a tall, middle-aged male cultivator wearing black clothes, with a murderous look on his face and hair that was a rare red color. The other was a young and beautiful woman with a slim figure and a beautiful face. Her eyes were full of affection, as if they contained a pool of spring water.

However, at this moment, because there were other cultivators around, Wei Tu did not dare to be too conspicuous. He used his spiritual pupil technique to take a closer look, so after secretly memorizing the appearance of the two people, he withdrew his gaze.

Next.

The wait lasted about half a day.

Nearly thirty monks once again poured into the hall. Among these thirty monks, the majority were demonic monks, and each of them had a murderous aura and a cold face.

Although Wei Tu did not recognize these demonic monks, with the reminder of "Red Dragon Ancestor", he recognized them one by one.

What he was particularly concerned about were the leader of the Hehuan Sect, Gongshu Chou, and the deputy leader, Madam Yinlian.

Both of them are powerful warriors in the late Nascent Soul stage, and they are people he needs to be very wary of.

But fortunately, he did not use the "Happy Nuo Mask" for disguise this time, but only used the disguise technique he practiced by himself, so he was not recognized by the two in a short time.

"This time, Madam Jin and Wang Sutai are here too?"

After a while, as more and more Nascent Soul cultivators walked into the hall, Wei Tu unexpectedly discovered the arrival of Madam Jin and her daughter in the crowd.

Another person who was as surprised as Wei Tu was Master Jiuli.

Master Jiuli had inquired about the information of "Fu Dao Ren" and knew that Wei Tu and Wang Sutai were engaged and were in a relationship of fiancé and fiancée.

Therefore, in fact, when seeing Wei Tu and Cao Mi coming, Master Jiuli had always mistakenly thought that Cao Mi was "Wang Sutai".

"I didn't expect that this Taoist Fu is also a romantic person." Master Jiuli secretly clicked his lips.

"Not good!"

Soon, Wei Tu realized a serious problem.

Not long ago, when he killed "Ji Wuya", he directly threw dirty water on his fake identity of "Fu Dao Ren".

At that time, he did not expect that Mrs. Jin and her daughter would enter the secret realm of Zunwang Palace. He thought that the two girls were hiding in "Beiyuan Island" to practice, so he thought that this matter would not implicate the two of them.

But now... there is an unexpected variable.

Mrs. Jin and her daughter will inevitably be targeted by the Hehuan Sect in the secret territory of the Zunwang Palace.

Sure enough, when this thought suddenly came to Wei Tu's mind, he saw the cold eyes of "Madam Yin Lian" instantly looking in the direction of Madam Jin.

Mrs. Jin, who saw this look, was undoubtedly extremely surprised. She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Mrs. Yin Lian.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"It seems that the Wanyin Sect is going to challenge our Hehuan Sect for a higher position. If our sect does not join in, we will probably be laughed at by the world."

Seeing that Mrs. Jin had no intention of "surrendering" and instead looked at her as if to provoke her, Mrs. Yin Lian immediately sneered and said this sarcastic remark in front of everyone.

In the demonic region, five sects are the most respected.

However, the sects in the five sects of the devil's way have not remained unchanged for ten thousand years. Ten thousand years ago, the "Stone Demon Sect" was replaced by the "Heavenly Maiden Sect" that rebelled from the righteous area.

The way to replace the "quotas" of the five sects is to "challenge the superior", which is initiated by the lower sect to the higher sect.

At this moment, Madam Yinlian said this to mock the Wanyin Sect and Madam Jin for overestimating their own abilities.

But she knew that Mrs. Jin and her daughter had been "driven out" by Duan Changjing and had become homeless.

Seeing this, Wei Tu hurriedly sent a message secretly to remind Madam Jin and told her the reason why the Hehuan Sect targeted them mother and daughter.

"What? You killed Liuyu Daoist and Ji Wuya?"

When Mrs. Jin heard this, her expression did not change, but she was shocked in her heart.

She really didn't expect that her good son-in-law would give her such a big surprise as soon as she arrived at the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.

However, although she was annoyed by Wei Tu's "plot", after all, Wei Tu and she were family, and he had saved her life before... So after a slight shock, she began to stand on Wei Tu's side and think about how to solve the problem.

"Don't worry! At the entrance of the Royal Palace, Madam Yin Lian could only mock me a few times. With the righteous monks here, she wouldn't dare to do anything."

"After that, we will enter the Zunwang Palace... As long as I don't go where Master's Wife goes, it will be fine."

Mrs. Jin comforted Wei Tu and told him not to worry too much.

After all, she was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even if she was no match for Madam Yin Lian, it would not be difficult for her to escape at the risk of her life.

Although there is a big gap in combat power between the late Nascent Soul stage and the middle Nascent Soul stage, it is difficult for other Nascent Soul cultivators to have the same combat ability as Wei Tu, who can almost crush the weak.

The difference of one realm will not become an insurmountable chasm.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded.

The secret realm of Zunwang Palace is not a natural secret realm, but a man-made inherited secret realm like the "Taixu Realm".

The biggest feature of this secret realm is its unique "levels".

Coincidentally, the first "level" does not have only one fixed venue, but can be selected.

Therefore, as Madam Jin said, as long as she took a look at which "place to break through" Madam Yin Lian chose, and then chose another one, she could effectively avoid this woman's targeting of her.

As for Madam Yin Lian, she deliberately stayed until the end and hunted Madam Jin and her daughter...

This kind of thing cannot happen.

Within the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace, the truly valuable place for powerful people in the "late Nascent Soul stage" like Madam Yin Lian is the inner hall area.

If you slack off by one step compared to other cultivators, you will most likely miss out on the treasure you care about and regret it for the rest of your life.

Losing the big for the small...Neither Wei Tu nor Madam Jin thought that Madam Yin Lian would do such a stupid thing.

……

Mrs. Jin did not respond to Mrs. Yin Lian's ridicule to avoid further escalation of the situation.

She is not a woman who doesn't know when to advance or retreat.

Even if he wanted to challenge her, he had to wait until she successfully obtained the opportunity left by her father, the Golden Ghost King, and broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage before he could seek revenge on her.

Seeing that Madam Jin admitted her wrongdoing, Madam Yin Lian did not continue to force her. She looked at Madam Jin coldly, sneered, and stood together with the other major demon cultivators again.

"Who is the woman sitting with Fu'er?"

After the crisis was resolved, Mrs. Jin also had time to go and see the situation where Wei Tu was.

However, after seeing this, she looked a little unhappy. After all, Wei Tu was not only her savior, but also her son-in-law.

No matter who it is, I'm afraid no one would be too happy to see that their son-in-law has another confidante.

"Where's that Chilong?"

"He didn't come with Fu'er?"

Mrs. Jin frowned slightly, with many speculations in her mind.

However, she did not consult Wei Tu about these speculations, but kept them deep in her heart, thinking that she would ask him after she broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

……

After waiting for several more days, when the number of people in the hall reached more than fifty, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the stone wall at the end of the hall.

Then, three tokens about a foot in size with words engraved on them floated out from the stone wall, lined up in a row, and landed in front of everyone.

The handwriting is all ancient characters, but fortunately with the guidance of Ancestor Red Dragon, Wei Tu does not have to worry about not being able to recognize them.

"Devil Lake, Zombie Forest Mountain, Troll Cave."

The information about these three tokens emerged in Wei Tu’s mind.

These three tokens are the transmission orders to the first "checkpoint" of the secret realm of inheritance of the Zunwang Palace.

Just touch the tokens and you will be teleported to the dangerous places written on the three tokens.

The territory of the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace is roughly a circle, and these three dangerous places are located at the outer corners of the area.

Starting from these three dangerous places and passing through one level after another, you can reach the core area of ​​the Royal Palace - the Inner Hall.

Outside the inner hall is the outer area of ​​the Royal Palace.

"The Yuanyang Treasure Land is on the first floor of the inner hall. Now, the direction of the first level selection must be related to the "Cicada God Flower"..."

Wei Tu pondered the map in his mind, his eyes gradually looking at the token marked with the words "Troll Cave".

According to the map, he and Cao Mi can only reach the location of the "Cicada God Flower" by starting from the "Troll Cave".

However, Wei Tu did not take the lead in choosing. He quietly fell behind others and waited for other monks to choose first.

After waiting for a while.

After the initial hesitation, the monks in the hall began to choose the levels that best suited them.

The first "level" is not difficult to pass for the cultivators in the hall, but if they make an inappropriate choice, it will greatly waste their energy, thus affecting the subsequent "treasure hunt".

However, for some monks, it is not difficult to choose.

These cultivators are the few "late Nascent Soul" cultivators among all the cultivators.

As figures flashed by one after another, soon only Wei Tu and other middle and early Nascent Soul cultivators were left in the hall.

At this moment.

Wei Tu did not hesitate. He mixed in the crowd and rushed into the "Troll Cave" one after another with Cao Mi.

next moment.

Heaven and earth change.

When Wei Tu opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark, damp and cold cave. It was quiet all around, without even a single person in sight.

Wei Tu showed no surprise at this scene. He released his spiritual sense, locked onto a target, and immediately fled forward.

"Single-player combat" is the rule of the first level of the secret realm of the Royal Palace.

It is also for this reason that most of the cultivators coming to the secret realm are cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

There is no other reason, because only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul can pass this level 100% safely.

But Wei Tu was not worried about Cao Mi.

Although Cao Mi's strength is still a little short of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, with the help of the "Yin Corpse", his strength can be comparable to that of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in a short period of time.

After a while, after flying for a while, Wei Tu saw a black monster that looked like a rhinoceros in a relatively spacious cave in front of him.

The aura of this demon beast is above the early fourth level.

“These are all monsters from the ancient demon world. I don’t know how the secret realm of the Royal Palace captured them and raised them here…” the Red Dragon Ancestor sighed.

After all, it stands to reason that these monsters would have disappeared long ago under the cleaning by generations of cultivators in the Great Cang Immortal Realm.

Hearing this, Wei Tu did not reply. He walked straight towards the rhinoceros-like monster.

As he took a step, he instantly appeared behind the rhino monster.
next moment.

Then a golden light flashed.

The rhino monster's head exploded and it died on the spot.

"The spiritual power of the body cultivator is really useful." Seeing this scene, the Red Dragon Ancestor praised.

If an immortal cultivator wanted to deal with this rhinoceros monster, even if he was in the late Nascent Soul stage, he would have to use some magical powers. It was not as easy as Wei Tu, who could kill it instantly by just taking the rhinoceros monster into his "physical realm".

"This is because the beast's intelligence is too low and it doesn't know how to dodge. If it were a real demon, it wouldn't be so easy."

Wei Tu did not feel arrogant. After putting the dead body of the rhinoceros monster on the ground into his storage bag, he continued to walk forward.

There is a straight road ahead. Just pass through the white light in front of the straight road to leave the "Troll Cave".

But at this moment, Wei Tu seemed to remember something. He paused and stayed in the white light for a while.

One breath, two breaths...

After more than ten breaths.

The "old monk with white eyebrows" that Wei Tu had seen in the hall before appeared outside the white light.

Then, a series of.

The late Nascent Soul cultivators who had previously entered the "Troll Cave" all came out one after another.

Among these people, in addition to the leader of the Hehuan Sect, "Gongshu Chou", there is also a "Goddess" from the Tiannv Sect.

When the eyes of these three late Nascent Soul cultivators met, they immediately turned into a rainbow light and rushed towards the "inner hall area" at an extremely fast speed.

"Fortunately I left a little later."

“Otherwise, it won’t be easy to explain if we run into these three people.” Wei Tu shook his head and thought to himself.

He didn't want to reveal his true strength before the treasure appeared.

Half a quarter of an hour later, some cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who had entered the troll cave also slowly walked out.

At this time, Wei Tu stepped out.

Into the White Light——

In an instant, Wei Tu arrived at a wasteland, and behind him was a giant cave marked "Troll Cave".

About three hours later.

Cao Mi, panting and in tattered clothes, also walked out of the troll cave.

Next, the two of them gathered their escape lights and began to move towards where the "Cicada God Flower" was.

Half a day later.

The two arrived at their destination.

Fortunately, Huyan Tu did not deceive Wei Tu. The "Cicada God Flower" discovered by his ancestor "Huyan Peng" was right here and had not been picked by anyone.

“However, if the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace is opened next time, that may not be the case.” Wei Tu thought to himself.

Now, time is running out, and almost all monks are rushing to the inner hall area to compete for more precious resources, so they have no time to take care of the spiritual medicines and minerals in the outer areas.

But after the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace has been opened for a period of time, the cultivators who have finished searching for treasures in the inner hall area will definitely come to the outer area to conduct a carpet-style treasure search.

In this way, even if this "Cicada God Flower" has a concealing formation, it cannot escape being searched.

Now, it was not difficult for Wei Tu to understand why Huyan Tu was in a hurry to find him, asked him to dig up the "Cicada God Flower" on his behalf, and provided him with the specific place to hide the medicine.

Without it, there is no time to wait.

"With this Cicada Divine Flower, how long will it take Junior Sister Cao to successfully break through?"

Wei Tu glanced at Cao Mi, who was calculating the medicinal properties of the Chan Shen Flower, and asked.

The secret realm of the Zunwang Palace will be open for twenty years.

When the twenty years are up, all cultivators will be repelled by the formation within the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace and forced to leave and return to the previous entrance to the secret realm.

In other words, Cao Mi's breakthrough time must be within a reasonable range, otherwise if he brought Cao Mi to this secret realm, she would not be able to help him at all.

This was inconsistent with his original ideas and interests.

"Seven years at most."

Cao Mi finished checking the properties of the medicine and replied.

"Seven years?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

He can afford to wait seven years.

According to the information from the Red Dragon Ancestor.

It would take more than ten years to break the ban on any of the key treasures in the inner hall.

"Junior Sister Cao is nearby, in seclusion for the time being. I will go to the inner hall area first."

Wei Tu nodded slightly and said.

The Cicada God Flower that "belongs" to Cao Mi has been obtained.

But he has not yet obtained the Yiqizhi that "belongs" to him.

This treasure is related to his chance to advance to the "late Nascent Soul stage".

besides……

The "resurrection" of Angelica dahurica is also closely related to the precious land of Yuanyang.

……

From the Troll Cave to the Inner Temple area.

There are two more levels.

However, for Wei Tu, these two levels are almost the same as the "Troll Cave" and need no further explanation.

It only took him five days to reach the inner hall area, just like other late Nascent Soul cultivators.

The inner area of ​​the Royal Palace is different from the outer area. It is a huge palace complex standing in this vast wilderness, with thousands of palaces in total.

The "Yuanyang Treasure Land" that Wei Tu went to is a larger palace here.

It is also known as "Yuan Yang Palace".

"I should have arrived at Yuanyang Palace earlier than the group of elders from Tianyi Sect. I just don't know how they got the Yiqizhi from here."

Inside the Yuanyang Palace, Wei Tu hid in a small house inside and set up a concealing formation. He then used the Yuanyang Qi in the Palace to expel the evil spirit from Bai Zhi, while at the same time releasing his spiritual consciousness to carefully observe the visitors outside the palace.
