Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Since being drawn into this hall by the "Golden Bronze Mirror," Song Qingming, who received the inheritance from the mirror, has devoted himself to arduous cultivation day and night.

He finally cultivated the "Purple Sun Divine Light Technique" to the Golden Core stage, meeting the basic requirements for refining the "Purple Sun Token".

Although Song Qingming possesses the talent of four spiritual roots, he is not suited to cultivating this technique.

Fortunately, the initial stages of the "Purple Sun Divine Light Technique" are not difficult to learn, and Song Qingming himself is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he also has a fragment of the manual that can help speed up the cultivation process.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in the main hall where Song Qingming was located was far more concentrated than that of the Heavenly Palace outside, and it was already comparable to a fifth-level spiritual vein like "Dangmo Mountain".

In less than a year, he successfully raised his cultivation technique to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Next, Song Qingming spent another seven years cultivating diligently, successfully breaking through his internal cultivation technique to the Golden Core realm.

After eight years of arduous training, Song Qingming had exhausted a great deal of energy, but he had finally achieved his goal. The journey had been much smoother than he had imagined.

With the successful breakthrough in his cultivation technique, Song Qingming also felt a wisp of purple spiritual light appear in his body. This was the innate purple light cultivated by the "Purple Sun Divine Light Technique".

Once this wisp of "innate purple light" is unleashed, it can not only be used to defend oneself, but also to unexpectedly transform into a purple flame to ambush the opponent. It can be considered a useful supernatural power that combines offense and defense.

However, the "innate purple light" within Song Qingming's body is currently only at the Golden Core level, which is still somewhat insufficient to deal with opponents at the Nascent Soul level.

Unless Song Qingming can cultivate his internal energy technique to the Nascent Soul stage, this innate purple light will not be of much use to him in his current state.

After calming himself down for a moment, Song Qingming took out the "Purple Sun Token" he had prepared from his body and then began to cast a spell with his eyes closed.

Before long, a wisp of "innate purple light" slowly gathered in Song Qingming's palm. Soon, the purple light transformed into a palm-sized purple flame, which enveloped the "Purple Sun Token" in front of him.

Next, Song Qingming began to focus on controlling the blazing flame, slowly refining the replica spiritual treasure in front of him that was of great importance to him.

As time passed rapidly, the "Purple Sun Token" in front of Song Qingming gradually developed some connection with his divine consciousness.

Sensing the spirit's reaction, Song Qingming immediately increased the amount of magic power he poured into the "Purple Flame," and the flame on the token grew even larger.

Although he was somewhat prepared, Song Qingming still didn't expect that it would take him a full month to refine this replica spiritual treasure.

Back then, it only took him seven or eight days to refine the "Illusion Heart Bell," a top-grade level four magic weapon. In comparison, it took him more than three times longer.

It is clear that for a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like him, refining and using a counterfeit spiritual treasure is not an easy task.

Once his divine sense was fully absorbed into the token, Song Qingming gently raised his hand, and the "Purple Sun Token" instantly moved into his hand under his control.

This was Song Qingming's first time refining a replica of a magical artifact, and he was extremely excited. He immediately began to carefully study the functions of this magical artifact.

After a while, Song Qingming patted the "spirit beast pouch" at his waist, and soon a figure appeared in front of him, which was the "Ice and Fire Dragon" that had not come out for a long time.

The newly appeared "Ice and Fire Dragon," gazing at the surrounding white mist, immediately asked:

"Master, where are we?"

"Heaven!"

After giving a casual reply, Song Qingming immediately used magic to bring the "Purple Sun Token" to his front and continued speaking to the "Ice and Fire Dragon":

"You help me test the power of this magic weapon!"

"Huh! This is the magic weapon that Master just obtained." Upon hearing the command conveyed by Song Qingming, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" immediately turned its gaze to the Purple Sun Token.

Upon seeing this unassuming "silver jade pendant," the "Ice-Fire Dragon" didn't think much of it and immediately spat out a powerful crimson flame.

Faced with the approaching flames, Song Qingming activated the "Purple Sun Token" with his magic power, immediately releasing purple spiritual light and easily blocking the Ice-Fire Dragon's flame attack.

Seeing that his attack was so easily parried by the opponent, the "Icefire Dragon" looked rather ugly. It then spewed out an even more powerful blue blast of cold air from its mouth, trying to freeze the purple light in front of it.

But just as the "Ice-Fire Dragon" exhaled its icy breath, a flash of light appeared above the "Purple Sun Token," and suddenly bursts of purple light enveloped the creature.

The next moment, the "Ice-Fire Dragon" suddenly realized that the cold air it had just exhaled had disappeared into mid-air before it had traveled far, and it couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"Huh, what's going on here?!"

Before the "Ice-Fire Dragon" could figure out what was happening, he quickly noticed a huge fluctuation of spiritual energy above his head and hurriedly looked up.

A powerful blast of cold air instantly struck the "Ice-Fire Dragon," freezing it in place before it could even deploy its defenses, causing it to fall from mid-air.

A crisp sound rang out, and the "Ice-Fire Dragon," which was freezing cold, quickly cast a spell to envelop its entire body in flames to resist the biting cold, which made it feel a little better.

Upon witnessing this scene, Song Qingming's face lit up with delight.

Similar to the information I had previously received, the Ziyang Token can not only affect the surrounding space, but also move and change the spells and magical artifacts inside.

As a replica of a magical artifact, its functions are indeed far more powerful than many of the magical treasures Song Qingming has seen before.

With just this treasure in his hand, as long as he uses it properly, Song Qingming is confident that he can fight against a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.

It should be noted that a typical late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would at most possess one or two high-grade level four magic treasures, and would never have a spiritual object of the level of a counterfeit spiritual treasure.

"Master, what kind of magical artifact is this? How can it control other people's magic?"

The "Ice-Fire Dragon," which had just taken a powerful blow from him, had now realized that it was the "silver jade tablet" in Song Qingming's hand that was behind it.

Seeing the magical artifact that had made him look so disheveled, the "Ice-Fire Dragon" looked at it with fear and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Hehe! Your cultivation is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. There are still many things you don't know in this cultivation world."

Upon hearing his spirit beast's question, Song Qingming remembered the somewhat "unlucky" Icefire Dragon beside him and quickly took out a "Beast Spirit Pill" from in front of him and tossed it to the other.

Upon seeing the pills he had been longing for in Song Qingming's hand, the "Ice and Fire Dragon," who had been somewhat depressed, took the item and his eyes immediately regained their original brilliance.

"Don't worry, Master. Little Jin will definitely cultivate diligently and will catch up with your cultivation level sooner or later."

"Yes! As long as you cultivate diligently, you'll catch up with me sooner or later."

".."

After waving his hand to put the "Ice and Fire Dragon" back into the spirit beast pouch at his waist, Song Qingming, holding the "Purple Sun Token," turned around and came to the golden bronze mirror in the middle of the main hall.

Looking at the constantly moving images of the Heavenly Palace in the outside world reflected in the "golden bronze mirror," Song Qingming felt a growing sense of anticipation.

Now that I have successfully refined the "Purple Sun Token," it's time to leave this place.

Although the spiritual energy in the main hall was very rich, making it a suitable place to stay and cultivate.

However, Song Qingming, who was determined to return to the "Huayang Realm", did not have any lingering feelings. After successfully refining and controlling the "Ziyang Token", he immediately decided to leave this place as soon as possible.

As Song Qingming channeled his magical power into the token, a dazzling purple light immediately shot out from the "Purple Sun Token".

The next moment, the "golden bronze mirror" in front of Song Qingming immediately emitted a burst of golden light.
-
In front of the main hall in the northeast corner of the "Ziyang Heavenly Palace", a man in purple robes sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a faint spiritual light emanated from his body.

Just as the purple-robed man was meditating and casting spells, his divine sense suddenly detected a rather peculiar fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the void in front of him.

Seeing this, the purple-robed man immediately withdrew his magic power and stopped meditating. He then skillfully took out a "sound transmission talisman" from his body.

Just as the purple-robed man was about to cast a spell to activate the talisman in his hand, he noticed that the surrounding sky was very calm and there was nothing unusual, which surprised him.

"Huh! It's not a gale coming, what happened?"

The purple-robed man, looking puzzled, immediately flew above the palace and began scanning the surrounding area.

Before long, a streak of light suddenly appeared not far ahead, followed by a figure in silver robes appearing before him.

Upon seeing the somewhat familiar figure before him, the man in purple robes was immediately shocked, thinking he was hallucinating.

"Fellow Daoist You, it's been many years since we last met."

"You, you are really Fellow Daoist Song?"

"it's me!"

Seeing the incredulous look on the man surnamed You's face, Song Qingming, who had just escaped, immediately smiled and nodded to him.

".."

As soon as Song Qingming returned to the great formation, many cultivators learned of his return and came to his cave to visit him.

In particular, Xiao Laogui, who was acquainted with Song Qingming, was in seclusion and at first he could not believe it when he received the news that Song Qingming was still alive.

When he emerged from the cave and saw Song Qingming return safely, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

It should be noted that he, the most senior cultivator, has been in the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" for hundreds of years.

Among them, at least twenty or thirty Nascent Soul cultivators he knew who were also trapped had unfortunately failed to escape back to the formation and disappeared outside. Without exception, none of these people ever reappeared; they all perished in the fierce winds and thunder outside.

Seeing Song Qingming return alive after being missing for nearly eight years, everyone trapped here was extremely surprised.

Besides Xiao Laogui, another person among the crowd who was equally excited about this was Ling Zhentian, who had only recently met Song Qingming.

He had finally learned from Song Qingming that he had a successor outside, but he never expected that the other party would die in front of him in just a few months.

Ling Zhentian felt a pang of regret for not being able to save Song Qingming in time when he was swept away by the golden light.

Fortunately, Song Qingming has returned safely, and Ling Zhentian is overjoyed. The usually taciturn man rarely shows his smile in front of everyone.

After congratulating Song Qingming on his return, everyone quickly changed the subject and began to inquire about his experiences over the years.

Faced with the puzzled looks on Xiao Laogui's face, Song Qingming immediately told everyone about how he had been trapped in a palace for the past eight years, cultivating his skills, after being swept into the golden light.

However, Song Qingming did not explain in detail that the reason he was able to enter was because of the "Purple Sun Token" he carried.

Instead, he claimed that he did not know why he was swept into a mysterious palace by the golden light, and then found a cultivation technique left behind by the "Twin Saints of Ziyang" in the palace.

It took me a full eight years to cultivate my technique to the Golden Core stage before I was able to break free.

After learning that Song Qingming had been swept away by the golden light, he unexpectedly found the inherited cultivation method left by the "Twin Saints of Ziyang". Many Nascent Soul cultivators present couldn't help but marvel at his luck.

It should be noted that before Song Qingming arrived, these people had been searching the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" for decades, and some had been doing so for hundreds of years.

Aside from finding some relatively precious high-level spiritual items, none of them had ever seen any of the legacies left behind by the "Twin Saints of Ziyang".

Song Qingming had only been in the Heavenly Palace for a few months, yet he had such amazing luck in finding a cultivation technique left behind by these two powerful cultivators. How could anyone not envy him?

Although everyone still had some doubts about what Song Qingming said.

But when they heard that he had found a way to return to the "Huayang Realm", the many cultivators present could not hide their excitement and immediately focused their attention on this matter.

"Fellow Daoist Song, is what you just said true? Do we really have a chance to leave this place?"

"Hahaha, I told you back then that palace was no ordinary place. I never imagined that it would actually hold a way to leave this place."

"Brother Song, this is truly a stroke of luck for us. After all these years, we've finally found a way to leave this place."

".."

Facing the anxious crowd, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand before explaining, "Fellow Daoists, rest assured, there is indeed a magic array among the techniques left behind by the Twin Saints that allows us to leave this place."

However, all I currently possess is the method to set up this formation. To actually complete it, I'm afraid I'll need the assistance of you fellow cultivators.

"Alas, we have been trapped here for many years, and we long to return to Huayang Realm. Brother Song, you are being too polite."

Please feel free to tell us how you need our cooperation, and we will do everything we can to cooperate.

"As long as Brother Song can lead us out of this place, you will be my benefactor for life. From now on, whatever you need, I will go through fire and water for you."

No sooner had Song Qingming finished speaking than Liu Ziliang patted his chest, indicating his full cooperation.

Over the years, Liu Ziliang has been trapped in the "Ziyang Heavenly Palace," enduring not only extreme loneliness but also constant worry about the fierce winds and thunder outside, which has made him feel extremely frustrated.

Moreover, he has been missing for so many years, and his family and descendants still do not know his current situation.

As for Liu Ziliang, he didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a day longer, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out to look for a way to leave whenever he had the chance.

Like Liu Ziliang, the other cultivators trapped in the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" were also eager to leave immediately and readily agreed to Song Qingming's request.

After all, these people are all high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world. Wherever they go, they are the absolute authority and revered Nascent Soul ancestors.

With such status and position, who would be willing to spend their entire life sitting alone in this heavenly prison?

Even Xiao Laogui, who used to always resign himself to his fate and was never willing to take risks, had a glint of light in his eyes after learning that Song Qingming had found a way to leave.

"I had already predicted a few days ago that I would have the opportunity to leave this place. I had always thought that the Heavenly Palace was about to appear in the world, but I did not expect that this opportunity would be with Fellow Daoist Song."

It seems that my ability to sense Fellow Daoist Song's appearance back then was not accidental, but rather preordained.

"Hehe! Old Ghost Xiao, what are you saying?"

"I've never heard you predict any fortuitous events before, but now that I hear Fellow Daoist Song has found a way to leave, you've just figured it out. Your divination skills are far too slow."

"Hehe, I was just fortunate enough to learn a little about divination back then. I'm not a real diviner. What's so strange about me being a little late in my calculations?"

Faced with Liu Ziliang's blatant sabotage, Xiao Laogui, who was already quite pleased, did not hold it against him, which drew another round of laughter from those around him.

".."

Just as everyone was excited, Ling Zhentian spoke to Song Qingming again: "Fellow Daoist Song, now that we have finally found a way, just tell us what you need to set up the formation!"
We'll definitely try to get whatever we can find on us for you.

The spiritual items needed to set up the grand formation were not difficult for Song Qingming to refine. Even without the help of others, he could successfully refine the necessary spiritual items by himself.

However, in order to leave this place as soon as possible, Song Qingming still drew out the array flags and array plates that needed to be refined and handed them over to other Nascent Soul cultivators for help.

With everyone working together, each person crafting a spiritual item, they can gather all the necessary materials for setting up the formation in no more than half a month.

In addition to setting up a "teleportation array" to leave, Song Qingming and his group also need to find a spiritual eye in the earth veins within the Heavenly Palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Qingming made his request, Xiao Laogui, who was standing to the side, immediately stepped forward and said that he happened to know of a place with a spiritual eye of the earth vein.

Led by Xiao Laogui, the group arrived at a ruined palace located south of the Heavenly Palace and found a damaged magic array.

This magic array was discovered by chance when Xiao Laogui was first trapped here. There happened to be a hidden earth vein eye below this place.

When Xiao Laogui first found the magic array, he spent a lot of time trying to repair it.

Unfortunately, despite spending several years repairing the magic array, Xiao Laogui was unable to activate it successfully and eventually had to give up the idea.

Later, although many trapped cultivators found this place, they heard that even Xiao Laogui, a high-level array master, was unable to repair it, so they had no choice but to abandon it here.

When Song Qingming saw the incomplete formation in front of him, he found that it was somewhat similar to the formation he was about to set up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

If he wasn't mistaken, this grand formation should have been set up by those cultivators who received the Heavenly Palace's inheritance in the past.

The main reason why Xiao Laogui was unable to activate the magic array was that he did not have the "Ziyang Token" as a token.

Thinking about this, Song Qingming really felt that some things seemed to have been destined long ago.

If I hadn't happened to bring the "Purple Sun Token" here, I probably would have ended up like those senior cultivators trapped here, spending my whole life sitting in the void beyond the Nine Heavens, growing old and passing away.

Seeing that the eye of the earth vein array had been successfully found, Song Qingming, with the help of many cultivators, immediately began to set up a teleportation array to leave.

With everyone working together, it took less than two months to successfully set up the entire formation.

To prevent any unexpected situations from occurring during the teleportation, Song Qingming and the others set up an additional layer of restrictions outside this "teleportation array".

In case the sudden appearance of strong winds, thunder, and fire during their teleportation journey could damage this somewhat fragile teleportation array.

After everyone had chosen a relatively peaceful day, Song Qingming led them onto the "teleportation platform" that they had just built.

Amidst a sense of excitement, everyone also felt a bit uneasy about this matter.

Although Song Qingming knew from the information left in the cultivation technique that he could use this great formation to teleport back to the "Huayang Realm".

However, it was not clearly stated where they would be teleported.

This kind of ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation, which is almost completely isolated from the interface, will consume most of the mana of even a Nascent Soul cultivator during the teleportation process.

If we can successfully return to the territory controlled by the human cultivators of the "Huayang Realm," then everything will be fine.

However, if they were to fall into the hands of the demons of the Northern Frontier, or into a dangerous place like the void beyond the Nine Heavens, it would be hard to say whether it would bring them fortune or misfortune.

However, despite their worries, the group's determination to leave the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" could not be easily changed.

Even if they were truly unlucky and teleported to a dangerous place, at least they could die in the Huayang Realm, instead of spending their entire lives alone outside the Nine Heavens.

After everyone had prepared everything, Song Qingming immediately took out a silver array plate and used the "Purple Sun Token" hidden inside to activate the array beneath his feet.

As the white light enveloped the entire platform, the people standing on it quickly felt a powerful spatial force gradually covering them.

The next moment, the white light disappeared, leaving only an empty "teleportation array".

The "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace," which had floated in the void for countless years, quickly returned to its tranquil state. (End of Chapter)
