Living in the deep palace

"What do you mean?"

“Are you willing to come out and talk now?” Su Chen held down the restless and frightened Ancient Insect Immortal in his body and asked, “What the hell… is going on? Who is this mysterious pavilion keeper?”

"Don't talk to me with your spiritual sense!" The ancient insect fairy's voice was like a cat with its tail stepped on, and he said anxiously.

"Leave this area quickly. He can still sense it! We can discuss this after we leave this star field..."

"He hasn't gone far yet. His eyes are still looking down, watching here, watching this entire sea of ​​stars!"

"Come on!"

Ancient Insect Immortal spoke in a hurried tone.

Su Chen's pupils shrank slightly.

The origin of the gray-robed man must be more terrifying than he imagined, as he could make this strange beast that had lived for nine epochs so frightened.

then.

He used his finger as a sword, drawing a mysterious trajectory in the void, and a star gate slowly took shape in the dazzling light.

The moment he passed through the star gate, Su Chen suddenly pressed his chest. A strange tremor came from deep in his heart, as if something was spying on him.

He turned back suddenly, but saw that at the moment the star gate behind him closed, the faint blue lights and the pavilion were still there, and the mysterious man in gray robe raised his wine glass, nodded to him, and drank it in one gulp, as if to see him off.

"Damn it!"

"What on earth is this guy?"

"It shouldn't be the leader of Tian Buyu. Could it be an old monster in the third realm? But that shouldn't be the case!"

“Although I don’t know why, the old monsters in the third realm don’t walk in the sea of ​​stars at all. They are almost extinct.”

Su Chen cursed and ran away very quickly, leaving the area at a rapid speed. He traveled for three days and three nights and only stopped when he was sure that he had arrived at a populated area.

soon.

Su Chen came to a familiar star field, which was the southern region of Tianxu. In the distance, on the ruined islands, one could vaguely see the figures of True Immortals and Mysterious Immortals.

"call!"

"Come alive."

Inside Su Chen's body, the shadow of the ancient insect fairy curled up, tightly wrapping its body. It took half a day for it to recover from its frozen state.

"call!"

"I didn't expect this guy to be alive..."

"Damn it!"

"Back then, he was the one who captured me and took me to the Ancient Immortal Heaven's treasury!"

"He is... the Lord of the Immortal Court... of the First Era..." The Ancient Insect Immortal's voice trembled with the feeling of a million years. "We call him 'Emperor of the Sky'... because he stood tall and supported the sky, bringing peace to the entire vast sea of ​​stars!"

"He used to be a hero, Zuo Qingcang who sympathized with the world, but now it's no longer certain... No one knows what he has become."

what?
The Lord of Ancient Heaven!
Emperor Qingcang Tian?

Su Chen was stunned. He really didn't expect that the person guarding the pavilion just now was actually an Epoch Emperor and the one who reached the top of the first era.

You know, the older it is, the more brilliant it is. This Emperor Qingcang Tian is probably either the first or the second among all the people who have reached the top in history. He is absolutely powerful!

Su Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

How come this climber is still alive?

What did he just say to me? The door, this climber is now guarding the door, and seems to want to open it.

A peak person stood on the side of Tian Buyu? What was going on? Logically speaking, based on what he knew, Tian Buyu should be unacceptable to this world.

"Tell me in detail." Su Chen said.

soon.

The Ancient Insect Immortal began to speak in detail.

However, there seemed to be a mysterious force exerting influence on the Ancient Insect Immortal, trying to make him shut up or even forget these secrets.

however.

With Su Chen around, how could he let this actually happen?

"Humph!"

With just a cold snort, violent power surged out of Su Chen's body, and in an instant, the unknown power was crushed into pieces.

This is the unknown force that drives the operation of heaven and earth.

When we talk about the existence of a higher being, this power will descend, so it cannot be described, known, or even seen.

But Su Chen is already strong enough, and his strength is enough to crush this mysterious force.

"How did you become so powerful while I was asleep?"

The ancient insect fairy showed a look of horror.

When Su Chen rushed to the ancestral god's land, it was oppressed by the aura of the ancestral god's land and then fell into a deep sleep.

In other words, he had encountered a stronger stimulus recently, and the pavilion keeper just woke up, so he had no idea what Su Chen had experienced recently.

"It's only been a short time, but your aura is probably close to the level of Xuan Yu Xian."

The Ancient Insect Immortal said in shock.

But he had no idea that long before that, Su Chen had directly fought a Xuan Yu Immortal head-on and forced the opponent to retreat.

Although the actual outcome was not determined, the fact that a Xuanyu Immortal failed to defeat a small True Immortal was already a failure!

"That's pretty much it."

"During this period, there were some opportunities, just luck."

Su Chen responded slowly.

This time.

The Ancient Insect Immortal became excited. The faster Su Chen grew and the more amazing his combat power was, the better.

Only in this way can he have the possibility of becoming a Golden Immortal, or a rare beast of the third realm.

"it is good."

"You have already reached Xuanyuxian, so knowing these secrets is nothing."

then.

The ancient insect fairy began to tell the story.

The other party was the Ancient Immortal Emperor of the First Era, the Lord of the Immortal Court, who personally sent the Ancient Insect Immortal into the treasure house.

Afterwards, the ancient immortal court was defeated in a battle. For some reason, the sky of the vast starry sea was shattered, revealing a huge gap.

A group of forbidden creatures of unknown origin broke into the vast sea of ​​stars through the gap and engaged in a great battle with the ancient immortal civilization!
They are extremely powerful. They are not immortals, nor gods, nor do they belong to any other cultivation systems. They carry a polluted aura with them, and anyone who comes into contact with them will be alienated.

Even now, nine epochs later, there are still many traces of pollution they left behind, such as the evil demons from outer space that once invaded the western region of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

For example, there is the vast sea of ​​blood in the battlefield outside the mountain and sea realm.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, there are traces left by these forbidden creatures. One can imagine how huge the impact of the war back then was, almost sweeping across the entire starry sea, like a doomsday catastrophe.

At this time, the one who reached the top of the era, Zuo Qingcang, stood up. He and the ancient golden immortal who was in the third realm at that time fought against them in order to protect the entire vast sea of ​​stars, and suffered heavy casualties.

Each forbidden creature is extremely powerful, and only the Unspeakable can deal with it! At that time, the vast sea of ​​stars had not yet been divided into five major star regions, but was a peaceful and harmonious world.

With the nine high heavens and ten starry skies as the core, there live countless creatures and countless ethnic groups.

The forbidden creatures seemed to have no end, constantly rushing into the sea of ​​stars from outside the gate. The Ancient Immortal Court slaughtered wave after wave, as if there was no end.

At last.

Ancient Heaven discovered with sadness that the world outside the broken gap in the sky seemed to be filled with unspeakable life, even the weakest. Above the starry sky, the gap became larger and larger as the battle progressed, and thus, more forbidden creatures were able to enter.

Then, the outbreak of fighting will make the gap bigger and bigger, forming a vicious circle.

If this continues, the entire starry sea will lose the protection of the sky and be pulled and assimilated into the unknown world outside the gap in the sky.

"We must plug the gap in the sky!"

The last emperor who ascended to the summit of Heaven, in order to save the world, took the initiative to destroy the Era of Immortality, buried himself, turned into the origin, and refined his flesh and blood into a door to block the forbidden creatures from setting foot, thus filling the gap left by the shattered sea of ​​stars and sky.

He saved the Xinghai world!

Afterwards, he even left behind a method to refine his own soul into a guard, always guarding that door and protecting the peace of the vast sea of ​​stars!

In order to prevent his soul from being polluted by the outside world, he used all the treasures in the world to practice a magic weapon - it was a pavilion.

pity.

This pavilion can block the filth outside the door, but it cannot block the filth inside the pavilion. Billions of years have passed, and the soul of the Immortal Emperor has become alienated in its mentality.

Zuo Qingcang, the most powerful climber, has fallen from being a hero who saved the galaxy to a demon king who opens the door to destroy the world.

“Now it all fits together.”

"But what does he mean by looking for me? He wants me to stop standing in Tian Buyu's way. But with his strength, even if it's just a projection, it would be easy for him to seal me or imprison me."

Su Chen frowned.

But the next moment, he knew the answer from the ancient insect fairy's mouth.

Before Zuo Qingcang died to save the world, he left a method for Tingzi, so that even if his soul was alienated, it would not be able to harm any living creature on the starry sea.

"I see."

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

The Ancient Insect Immortal screamed in fear: "It shouldn't be like this. He, a pavilion keeper, shouldn't appear in the sea of ​​stars, not even as a projection!"

"He should have already become part of the 'Gate'! How could a guard made of souls leave his post?!"

"what happened!"

"What on earth happened? You have not experienced the horrific catastrophe of that year, and you have no idea how terrifying those forbidden creatures are. If something goes wrong with the door, everything will happen again, and no one will be able to survive..."

The ancient insect fairy became more and more anxious, yelling and shouting, and was extremely out of control.

Obviously.

Knowing too much is not a good thing.

The previous secret memories about Fangcun Mountain and the like were probably all tricks it set up itself to make itself forget.

Otherwise, knowing so much high-level intelligence would make one realize their own insignificance and easily fall into an atmosphere of panic and despair.

For example, the ancient insect fairy today.

In this regard.

Su Chen’s approach is also very simple.

hum!
He removed the colorless immortal energy that enveloped him and the Ancient Insect Immortal. He was still able to remember it all, but the unknown power in the dark swept towards the Ancient Insect Immortal.

next moment.

The ancient insect fairy, who was still frightened to the point of madness, trembled slightly, and then showed a dazed expression. He looked at Su Chen, as if somewhat puzzled.

"Strange, what was I trying to say?"

It has forgotten everything that happened before.

This is the rule governing the operation of the sea of ​​stars. No one knows who set the rules for this unknown force in the dark, and it is truly terrifying.

"nothing!"

"Have a good sleep."

Su Chen put the ancient insect fairy back into the fairy orifice, and then he turned around and continued to search for the tree beard that was most likely to be obtained on the battlefield of the gods.

hum!
Also at this time.

In the dark, the Tree of Immortality began to tremble.

Su Chen's breathing suddenly stopped.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the starry sea above his head. Suddenly, a horrifying scene clearly appeared in his eyes.

Countless stars formed a huge door, and there was a huge colorful pavilion. Inside, there was a human-shaped soul condensed by starlight embedded in the crack of the door, and half of its body had turned into a deformed monster that constantly dripped black oil.

"What's this?!"

Su Chen was stunned.

He actually saw the current appearance of Zuo Qingcang's immortal soul.

alienation!

There is no doubt that Zuo Qingcang has been alienated!
And it was the change in his status brought about by swallowing that piece of tree beard that allowed him to see such a scene.

The Immortality Seed has matured and turned into the Immortality Tree! It is almost impossible to improve it any further.

But after devouring the wreckage: a tree beard, incredible magical powers evolved again, allowing Su Chen to explore a higher level of vision.

Logically speaking, this vision can only be seen by those who are in the third realm of indescribable realm, that is, the highest Golden Immortal, or even Daluo Canggu.

Above your head is the starry sky, but you cannot reach the first two realms. Looking up at the sky, no matter how powerful you are, all you see is darkness.

Only a true Golden Immortal in the Third Realm, looking up at the sky, can see the true appearance of the starry sky.

This is the vision at the level of life, just like an ant can only see a distorted world at a very short distance and the size of a palm, while only humans can see the real world around them.

And now, Su Chen saw it.

That so-called "door"!
As well as the appearance of the true soul of the Immortal Emperor, the person guarding the pavilion now.

……

……

The fairy pavilion, and the pavilion keeper, also had an alienated mentality, actively absorbing the filth outside the door. "Zuo Qingcang" seemed to have sensed the new gaze, he lowered his eyes, and searched in the vast sea of ​​stars.

But in the end, the newly born third realm was not found.

"strangeness."

"In this era, there should be no Golden Immortals anymore. Only the Supreme One should be born?"

"The other unspeakable beings in the third realm are avoiding my gaze. They have withdrawn from the world, fallen into a deep sleep, or hidden themselves away."

"Who is this new third realm member?!"

He was wondering, he was whispering, he couldn't figure it out.

But simply.

He didn't think about it anymore.

Now, he just wanted someone to push open the door and free him from this state of imprisonment!
"Back then, I probably had already predicted that I would become like this in the future."

"hehe."

"Zuo Qingcang, ah Zuo Qingcang! Is this really what you want?! Maybe, but for me now, it's not."

He looked at the world outside the door with fascination. There was the freedom he wanted, and there were many people like him.

They were all once climbers of the vast sea of ​​stars, contaminated by the aura of taboos, and transformed into what they should be.

"That is the 'eternity' that those who reach the summit should truly pursue!" (End of this chapter)
