Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1156 Tushita Palace

Li Qing placed his hand on the past volume of the Book of Time, his eyes gleaming with boundless divine light. In the depths of his eyes, a long river of time appeared, flowing from the past to the future, ceaselessly and endlessly.

Indeed, Li Qing, who has already come into contact with two volumes of the Book of Time, can see the long river of time in the darkness, but at present he can only observe from afar, nothing more.

Not long after, the ancient scroll that had been unfolded in front of Li Qing slowly closed. He had completed the transfer of power, passing the entire "Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing" to his past self.

With the cause and effect now completely resolved, he could clearly see a thread of cause and effect snap and then return to nothingness.

Li Qing gently stroked the cover of the past volume of the Book of Time, leaving his magical mark on it. As a half-immortal, he was already able to subdue it and make it his master.

Just then, beams of powerful spiritual light rushed in from afar, but as they approached Li Qing, they immediately concealed their aura.

One by one, the most powerful figures from the outside world came to pay their respects. They landed on the ground early and proceeded with the utmost humility and respect, like a group of pilgrims.

"Feng Chuanxiang of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan greets the Immortal!"

"Greetings, Human Immortal!"

"The mayfly clan, Kunmi, has met a true immortal of the human race!"

"Congratulations to Senior Wuji on your ascension to the Immortal Path!"

One after another, respectful greetings resounded. Apart from the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan, all the Mahayana stage experts in this region had come to pay their respects to the True Immortal, daring not to show the slightest negligence.

Looking at the many Mahayana stage beings paying their respects to him, Li Qing slowly put away the Book of Time and nodded slowly, saying, "No need for formalities. You are all witnesses to my ascension to the Immortal Path. There is no need for such formalities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing gently waved his sleeve, and the immortal laws of heaven and earth resonated with it. A gentle surge of immortal spiritual power flowed out, helping all the Mahayana cultivators present to their feet.

Upon sensing all this, all the Mahayana practitioners showed genuine awe, their inner emotions incredibly complex.

The ability to harness immortal spiritual power for one's own use is a great supernatural power that only true immortals can achieve. No one expected that with the opening of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm this time, someone would actually be able to attain immortality, which is simply a miracle unprecedented in history.

"Immortal Wuji, the Tushita Palace is about to open. I am willing to follow you and serve you at your command!"

Suddenly, a voice came from afar. From the source of the voice, a True Spirit Xuanwu slowly flew down from the distant sky. Its huge and majestic body shrank continuously until it became the size of a small mountain and landed in front of Li Qing.

A powerful True Spirit Xuanwu actually came to serve as a mount! This is simply unimaginable!
But upon further reflection, many powerful individuals realized that the person before them was a true immortal who had glimpsed the realm of immortality in the mortal world. If they were to pledge allegiance to him, they might be able to ascend to the immortal realm together in the future.

After thinking about this, all the Mahayana stage experts were tempted. In the face of ascending to the Immortal Realm, nothing else mattered. What did dignity matter?
In an instant, many powerful figures spoke up, wanting to join Li Qing's ranks.

Li Qing couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. He said, "Fellow Daoists, the Tushita Palace is about to open. Why don't you go to the Immortal Palace first to find your own immortal destiny?"

Hearing this, the group of Mahayana experts were not too disappointed. It was normal that such a good thing as one person attaining enlightenment and all his relatives and friends benefiting from it would not fall on them.

As for the True Spirit Xuanwu, it eagerly raised its head and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing did not refuse. He took a step forward and sat on the back of the Xuanwu, saying in a calm tone, "Let's go to the Tushita Palace."

Xuanwu was overjoyed and immediately took off on its massive body, flying towards the distant celestial palace with flowing light and clouds.

The thick clouds and fog resembled a vast ocean, and amidst the swirling mist, a dilapidated celestial palace could be vaguely seen standing tall, exuding a sense of vastness and grandeur even from a great distance.

The Tushita Palace! One of the most powerful forces in the Immortal Realm, it is the Daoist temple of an unparalleled Dao Ancestor. Its influence extends throughout the various domains of the Immortal Realm, and the Tushita Palace in this Lingxiao Immortal Domain is just one of the distributions of its influence.

Even so, countless opportunities are hidden within, especially the alchemy furnaces and cauldrons in the celestial palace. Even finding some remnants of celestial pills within them would be an extraordinary opportunity.

Whenever the Lingxiao Immortal Realm opens to the outside world, this Doushuai Palace becomes the most competitive place, and it is not uncommon for ten or so Mahayana cultivators to die.

Opportunities are often accompanied by risks. There are some remaining immortal restrictions within the Tushita Palace, where countless arrogant and powerful top experts have perished throughout the ages.

This time is different, because a demigod has led the team, and the rest of the followers will exercise maximum restraint.

Amidst the vast expanse of clouds and mist, a colossal Xuanwu soared in. Despite its immense size, which blotted out the sky, its speed was anything but slow, and it descended with overwhelming momentum.

boom!
After Xuanwu landed, the vast clouds and mist were shaken apart, and its aura was extremely astonishing.

Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back on Xuanwu's back, calmly looking at the dilapidated immortal palace in front of him. His expression was serious, and he did not become arrogant in any way just because he had become a half-immortal.

Through the Demon Lord's memories, he knew that this was the Daoist temple of an unparalleled Dao Ancestor, and even a true immortal would have to act with caution here.

"So this is the Tushita Palace. Although it is severely damaged, I can sense that there are many powerful immortal restrictions inside. Ordinary Mahayana cultivators would die if they touched it." Li Qing murmured, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he had pierced through the barrier of this immortal palace and seen everything inside.

The Mahayana practitioners behind them slowly followed, all staying obediently behind Li Qing, not daring to overstep their bounds.

Before long, the barrier covering the entire Tushita Palace slowly dissipated, and the tightly closed gates of the celestial palace gradually opened a crack.

Boom!

"Go in," Li Qing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xuanwu immediately did as instructed and crawled toward the gate of the celestial palace.

As soon as they approached, a burst of celestial light surged forth from within the gate. If one were not careful, even an ordinary Mahayana cultivator would be violently impacted and severely injured.

However, Li Qing simply raised his hand slightly, and the semi-immortal magic power within his body transformed into a light screen, easily blocking the beam of immortal light.

Xuanwu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this. He felt much more at ease, knowing that following such an immortal was far safer than exploring on his own.

Soon, Xuanwu carried Li Qing through the gates of the Immortal Palace, allowing them to see the scene inside. The area was still shrouded in mist, and directly ahead, an immortal pool was filled with rich, radiant light.

"The Immortal Pool of the Tushita Palace... It's a pity it's been in disrepair for so many years. Otherwise, soaking in it would be of immense benefit to one's soul," Xuan Tian Immortal Palace sighed.

The immortal pool had dried up, leaving only the radiant light emanating from its walls, devoid of its former nourishing power. Li Qing channeled his magic power, conjuring a large hand formed from true essence. He searched the dried-up pool several times, but could only find some withered lotus leaves, long since devoid of any value.

“Let’s go deeper and take a look inside the main hall of the Immortal Palace,” Li Qing said.

Xuanwu immediately did as instructed, crossing the celestial pool and climbing towards the end of the corridor.

The entire celestial palace has been completely destroyed. The celestial restrictions seen along the way have all lost their function. Only those palaces containing celestial treasures still have powerful celestial restrictions remaining.

The Mahayana practitioners behind them exchanged glances, still not daring to act alone, and obediently followed behind Xuanwu, hoping to find some soup or water to drink.

Upon realizing this, Li Qing generously said, "Fellow Daoists, now that we have entered the Immortal Palace, everyone should rely on their own abilities to find opportunities. There is no need to worry about my presence."

Upon hearing this, several Mahayana stage experts who had been itching to explore exchanged glances, then clasped their fists in a salute to the tall figure standing on the back of the Xuanwu, before quickly turning and leaving to explore other areas of the Doushuai Palace.

The remaining Mahayana practitioners were determined to cling to Li Qing's coattails.

"Hehe, if Immortal Wuji doesn't mind, we would still like to travel with you."

"Yes, in the past, every time the Lingxiao Immortal Realm opened, there would always be some Mahayana powerhouses who died mysteriously within the immortal restrictions. We only want to follow the immortals!"

Li Qing ignored it and instead looked at the main hall at the end of the corridor. This was the main hall of the Tushita Palace. Immortal restrictions appeared in front of the hall, blocking the way for any living being.

After gazing for a long time, Li Qing took a deep breath and continuously formed hand seals, gathering true essence containing immortal spiritual power in front of him.

boom!
A terrifying aura of immortality emanated from him, causing the Xuanwu under his feet to tremble. It was only because the True Spirit Xuanwu had such strong defensive capabilities that ordinary Mahayana-stage beings would have been unable to withstand Li Qing's current pressure.

In the next instant, the entire immortal restriction was violently impacted, and the entire main hall shook.

Li Qing's figure slowly rose into the air, and then he threw a punch at the immortal restriction in front of him from a distance.

Boom!

The power of this punch was terrifying to the extreme. Endless immortal light exploded under his fist, and the immortal restriction in front of the main hall finally could not withstand the bombardment of this terrifying power and completely collapsed.

"Even after so many years, the remaining restrictions of the Tushita Palace are still so powerful. I can't even imagine how terrifying the Tushita Palace must have been in its prime." Li Qing watched the immortal light in front of him gradually dissipate and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The Demon Lord responded, "At its peak, the Doulu Palace had tens of thousands of True Immortal disciples, several hundred Golden Immortals and Taiyi Immortals combined, and twelve Great Luo Immortals, all of whom were direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor. Each Great Luo Immortal guarded a region, their power intimidating boundless areas!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing felt immense pressure. If he were to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, these people would likely become his adversaries.

As the successor of the Demon Lord and having completely merged with the Primal World Seed, his fate is now irreversible.

Once exposed, more than half of the powerful forces in the entire Immortal Realm will regard him as a threat and a thorn in their side!
There was no way around it; the mess the Demon Lord made in the Immortal Realm was simply too big, prompting the Dao Ancestor to personally intervene and kill him, which shows just how grave his sins were.

Not long after the immortal restriction completely dissipated, Xuanwu carried Li Qing into the main hall.

The main hall of the Tushita Palace has never been opened before, firstly because no one has the ability to break through the immortal restriction, and secondly because the main hall is usually used to entertain guests and may not contain anything of value.

Therefore, over the years, none of the powerful figures who entered the Lingxiao Immortal Realm have ever attempted to enter the main hall.

Boom!

With a thud, the main hall doors opened, and Xuanwu, carrying Li Qing, was the first to enter.

Contrary to expectations of grandeur and magnificence, the interior was dimly lit. Although it was large, it was extremely cluttered, with many prayer cushions scattered haphazardly on the floor.

Li Qing released his vast divine sense, attempting to search and explore the main hall, but he soon discovered that his divine sense was confined to a very small area and could not spread out at all.

After all, it's the main hall of a celestial palace; how could it possibly allow entrants to freely release their divine sense to explore it? That's not surprising.

Just then, the Demon Lord spoke up: "Put away all the prayer mats on the ground."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing didn't ask any further questions and immediately acted as the Demon Lord had instructed, collecting all the messy prayer mats on the floor of the hall.

After doing all this, he finally asked, "They look like just ordinary prayer cushions. Is there some secret behind them?"

"Those who can meditate and discuss matters in the main hall of the Tushita Palace must at least be at the Golden Immortal level. Who knows, we might gain some unexpected insights and find some immortal cultivation insights left behind by Taiyi Immortals?" the Demon Lord casually replied.

Li Qing did not refute. Since he had come in, he should naturally try his best to take everything he could out with him!

After all, the next opening of the Lingxiao Immortal Realm will be 60,000 years from now.

Behind them, Mahayana cultivators entered the main hall one after another, their eyes shining as they observed the situation inside. This was a place that had never been opened before, and perhaps there were some unparalleled opportunities for immortality within.

Li Qing did not stop them, but jumped off the back of Xuanwu and walked straight ahead. On the wall of the palace, there was a painting and calligraphy!
The text above contains only four celestial characters: "Three begets all things!"

As soon as Li Qing approached the calligraphy scroll, he felt a chilling pressure emanating from the four immortal characters. Even with his true immortal body, he felt considerable pressure.

Just as he was about to take it away, suddenly, the four celestial characters stirred up a terrifying will, which directly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In that instant, Li Qing felt a pain as if his sea of ​​consciousness was about to burst open, as if he could not withstand the will contained within those few immortal characters.

Soon, the Demon Lord, who had been lurking in Li Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, emerged and coldly snorted:
"Hmph, a few words left behind by someone in the early stages of the Great Luo realm dare to cause trouble?"

Immediately following was an even more terrifying force of will that pushed back, completely crushing the Great Luo will that had invaded Li Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

At this point, the four celestial characters could no longer exert any pressure on Li Qing, and he easily acquired them.
