Living in the deep palace

"This... this is simply... the ultimate trump card in the Heavenly Palace's treasury!"

Even with Su Chen's temperament, he couldn't help but breathe quickly and his heart was pounding at this moment!
The value of this ninth key far exceeded his imagination!
With it, he could completely trap and kill other competitors at the critical moment! He dared to find the eight major hidden treasures in the treasure house before others.

"The formation master of the Ebony Immortal Clan... is truly... a genius! I'm afraid he can be considered the number one formation master in the ancient immortal world!"

"and."

“It has not been discovered for so many years!”

Su Chen couldn't help but admire.

However, it is not easy to fully control the ninth key.

The formation knowledge contained therein is so vast and profound that with Su Chen's current attainments in formation, he can only control a small part of it.

If you really want to control it, the Xuanyu Immortal List is probably the best choice.

He's still a little short of it.

"No rush... take your time."

Su Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Perhaps what he lacks the least now is time.

He decided that, for the next period of time, he would spend this desolate star field recovering from his injuries and consolidating his realm, while at the same time... concentrating on studying the two Xuantian keys, especially the supreme formation contained in the ninth key!

Control the formation of the Heavenly Palace Treasury! This will be his important trump card in the future fight for the Tenth Transformation, or even against Tian Buyu!
The starry sky is boundless and the years are silent.

Su Chen began another long period of seclusion.

This time, his goal is no longer simply to heal his wounds and increase his strength, but... enlightenment!
Understand the Dao of Formation! Understand the Dao of Reincarnation!

He immersed himself in the vast ocean of formation knowledge of the Ninth Key, absorbing it eagerly.

From the basic rune construction, to the combination and changes of the formation, to invoking the laws of heaven and earth and building space barriers... his attainments in formations improved rapidly at an astonishing speed!
At the same time, he is constantly deducing and perfecting his way of "reincarnation in the sea of ​​stars".

He tried to integrate the principles of the formation in the ninth key into his starry sea domain, attempting to construct a more stable and more powerful cycle of life and death.

This process is boring and difficult.

His aura also became more and more restrained and profound, as if it had merged into one with the desolate starry sky, indistinguishable from it.

Before I knew it, several decades had passed.

This day.

Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were no longer as sharp and intimidating as before, but had become gentle and peaceful, yet seemed to contain an endless starry sky, so deep that it was impossible to see through.

more importantly!
His control over the Ninth Key had already reached a fairly high level! Although he still couldn't fully control it, he already knew most of the basic formations and control permissions!

His attainments in formations are far beyond what they used to be. Even compared to the masters among the Xuanyu Immortals who specialized in formations in the ancient fairy world, I'm afraid... they are not far behind!
And his method of "Reincarnation of the Star Sea" has become more perfect!
Now, with just a thought, he can evolve the Millstone of Life and Death in the sea of ​​stars. The power of reincarnation flows endlessly, and its power is more than ten times stronger than when he was in the Broken Palace!
"Nine revolutions completed... Small success in formation..."

Su Chen stood up and stretched. His bones crackled like thunder.

He looked into the depths of the distant starry sky, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"It's time to explore the Heavenly Palace's treasure house! It's also time to meet those old friends."

The ninth transformation is complete and his strength is now far superior to what it was before.

Although he was still powerless against the remnant of the Golden Immortal, at least at the level of the Xuan Yu Immortal, he was no longer afraid of anything.

The Xuanyu Immortal List can be regarded as a place that allows one to step into this circle!

The bronze ancient sword immortal killed by him in Zang Hai is the best proof, which can be regarded as a record on the Sword Slash Xuanyu Immortal List!
In addition, he has now realized that the Absolute Immortal Art - Xinghai is even more powerful! Now if he encounters the Bronze Ancient Sword Immortal again, he can kill him even faster.

What's more, he holds the biggest trump card, the ninth key!

He no longer hesitated, identified the star map, and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the extremely distant spatial coordinates sensed by the eighth key, which was located in the deepest forbidden area of ​​the vast starry sea - the Heavenly Treasure House!

Traveling all the way, the stars are flowing.

Several months later, Su Chen finally arrived at his destination—a void area surrounded by endless chaotic air currents and exuding a vast and ancient atmosphere.

This is the entrance to the Heavenly Treasure House.

Even from a long distance, Su Chen could feel the terrifying power contained in the chaotic airflow, which was enough to easily tear apart a high-level Xuanxian realm!

Without the guidance of the Xuantian Key, even an existence at the level of the Xuanyu Immortal List would not be able to break in easily.

"arrive."

"This is it!"

"Speaking of which, this place is in the Tianxu Star Region, and it's not that far away from my Xuantian Island."

"Tsk, tsk."

"It seems that Tian Buyu is really restricted. I'm afraid that more than one person on the Xuanyu Immortal List is secretly trying to keep the Golden Light Ancient Immortal standing..."

"Otherwise, based on Tian Buyu's strength, they should have taken down this small Northern Territory long ago!"

Su Chen stopped and did not enter immediately.

He released his immortal thoughts and explored the surroundings.

With the ninth key in hand, he could clearly "see" that behind the chaotic airflow, there was an extremely huge, layered, maze-like super-complex formation hidden!
This great formation was the first and most powerful barrier to protect the Heavenly Palace's treasury! Its complexity and power far exceeded any formation Su Chen had ever seen before!

"What a powerful formation!"

Su Chen was secretly shocked, "It is worthy of the joint efforts of the eight great families in the ancient immortal world. I am afraid that even if a golden immortal came in person and wanted to break the formation by force, they, the golden immortals, could not afford the price."

of course.

This formation has nothing to do with the ninth key and cannot be controlled. This is the outer formation that the eight great families jointly created when they founded it.

The formation immortal ancestor of the Wumu family had no chance to get involved, so naturally he couldn't leave a secret door.

Fortunately, this formation is specially designed to block the invasion of Golden Immortals. Only the holder of the Xuantian Key can break through this formation!
"Tsk, tsk."

“There are many old friends.”

What frightened Su Chen even more was that he could vaguely feel that in the core area of ​​this formation, there seemed to be... several extremely terrifying auras lurking, yet they were confronting and wary of each other!

Every breath carries a sense of antiquity, arrogance and dominance!

"really……"

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Ancient Saint and the others... are all inside!"

But I didn’t expect that the Immortal Ancestor of Dead Souls was also there.

Moreover, according to what Nangong Jianxian said before, there were more than just one or two Ancient God Kings and Xuanyu Immortal Ranking-level beings trapped inside. Basically, all of them.

It can be said.

The lineup here, if released, will definitely be able to sweep everything!
"It seems that this heavenly treasury is more lively than I imagined."

Su Chen calmed his mind and no longer hesitated.

He activated the eighth and ninth Xuantian keys in his body.

Om-! ! !
The two keys burst out with brilliant light at the same time, one dark and one green. The light intertwined and merged, turning into a stable and mysterious space ripple, slowly blending into the chaotic airflow ahead.

Chi chi chi——

The chaotic airflow that was originally extremely violent and capable of tearing everything apart, at the moment of coming into contact with the space ripples, automatically separated to both sides like a docile sheep, revealing a safe passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through and was flashing with a faint light!

Su Chen took a deep breath and stepped in.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

It is no longer the cold and silent empty starry sky, but a strange space with bizarre lights and distorted laws!

Countless broken palace fragments, broken chains of laws, and skeletons of ancient gods and demons emitting terrifying auras floated in this space.

This is the outer area of ​​the Heavenly Palace’s treasury, and it is also the interior of the super complex formation!

Su Chen could clearly feel that the surrounding was filled with extremely chaotic and powerful formation power. If he was not careful, he might trigger murderous intent and bring about a catastrophic disaster!

What's even more terrifying is that in this area, his spiritual power was greatly suppressed, the detection range was sharply reduced, and... that feeling of being spied on appeared again!
It seemed as if there were invisible eyes secretly watching him, the "outsider"!
Su Chen's heart trembled and he immediately raised his vigilance to the highest level.

"The formation here... is not only complicated, but also... seems to be running and changing on its own?" The deeper Su Chen went, the more frightened he became.

This formation seemed to have a life of its own, evolving and changing all the time, blocking anything that tried to break into the core area.

Moreover, he also keenly sensed that within this formation, there seemed to be a few extremely powerful souls filled with violence and unwillingness...? !

These residual souls were at least at the level of the Xuanyu Immortal Ranking when they were alive! There might even be... Golden Immortals?!

They seemed to be trapped to death in this formation. They wanted to loot the Heavenly Palace treasury, but they forced their way in without the Xuantian Key and were killed by the outermost formation!

Endless years have passed, but their obsession has not faded, and they have turned into extremely terrifying array spirit-like beings!

"It seems that if we want to enter the real Heavenly Palace Treasury, we must first break through the outer formation and the obstruction of these...old ghosts."

“This can also be considered a screening.”

“Ordinary Xuanyu Immortals cannot pass. Only those on the Xuanyu Immortal Ranking, Ancient God Kings, and even those at a powerful level can pass…”

A trace of solemnity flashed across Su Chen's eyes.

of course.

This was not difficult for him. Although he was still a True Immortal, he was already able to go all out and attack the weaker members of the Xuanyu Immortal List.

However, Su Chen did not need to get entangled with these remnant souls of the Golden Immortals. The ninth key flashed with light and directly teleported these remnant souls of the Golden Immortals to an unknown place.

Su Chen quickened his pace and at the same time quietly expanded the "Star Sea" field to cover himself.

The starry sea, where jade and blood colors are interwoven, exudes a mysterious aura of reincarnation, effectively blocking most prying eyes and the erosion of formation power.

After passing through a ruined area with countless broken swords and spears floating on it, the road ahead suddenly opened up.

An extremely huge bronze square exuding an atmosphere of vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Su Chen.

On the square, there stand seven towering stone tablets that are thousands of feet high!
Every stone tablet is engraved with extremely mysterious ancient runes, faintly emitting different fluctuations of laws!

And in the center of the seven stone tablets, there is a huge nebula vortex composed of countless light points!
There seems to be the entrance to the true core of the Heavenly Treasure House!
But at this moment, in front of the seven stone tablets, there were seven figures exuding a terrifying aura, sitting cross-legged!

Three of the figures were surrounded by divine and demonic auras, and had different shapes. They were ancient beings who had been trapped here long before the Ancient Saint!
In addition to this, the Ancient Saint was also present, with a pair of broken horns and snake-like scarlet eyes staring at him. He was the fourth one!
The other two figures had an immortal look and were surrounded by immortal light. They were obviously powerful immortals!
Obviously, this person is the ancestor of the Xuanyu Immortal List of Tingxian Pavilion.

The figure standing with him, wearing a pure white mask on his face, was none other than Nangong Jianxian, also the leader of the Sky-Slayers, Wumian.

Of course, there is no Sky-killing Organization now!

In front of Tian Buyu, the so-called Tian Shi was so weak and laughable.

"You came."

The Immortal Ancestor of Dead Souls, also known as the Nine Dead Souls Immortal, glanced at Su Chen, and a hint of complexity emerged in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Correct."

"coming."

"How could I miss the rumored Heavenly Palace treasure house? Come and take a look today."

Su Chen nodded in response to the greeting from the Immortal Ancestor of the Dead Soul.

There are seven great beings present, three of them are extremely ancient, with extremely terrifying auras, and each of them is no weaker than the incarnation of the ancient golden immortal!

Even worse!

"Boy, you dare to come?"

"hehe."

"I didn't expect that you didn't die and were able to walk out of places like the Blood Prison and the Netherworld. It seems that even if you are not on the Xuanyu Immortal List, you are not far away."

The Ancient Saint was laughing strangely.

His hostility towards Su Chen dissipated a lot. After all, the fact that he could appear here proved that Su Chen was on the same level as him.

He is an ancient sage with a great reputation. He has killed the perfect gods and slaughtered the Xuanyu Immortals. But he is only an ancient god king, at the level of the Xuanyu Immortal List!
He is not outstanding here, at least compared to the mysterious and unpredictable Immortal Ancestor of Dead Souls who rose early and directly topped the Xuanyu Immortal List, and the three ancient life forms, he is not powerful.

"Are you the terrifying fairy?"

"The body of a true immortal can shake the mysterious jade immortal!"

"You... were able to walk out of the Blood Hell. Interesting, really interesting."

A terrifying demon god with a human body and a bull's head, with black devil flames burning all over his body, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the eastern stone tablet, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Su Chen coldly, but his tone was full of interest.

"Um?!"

"The Horrible Immortal?! Are you the Horrible Immortal?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three ancient beings, including the Xuanyu Immortal List of Tingxian Pavilion, all turned their eyes to Su Chen!
For a moment, Su Chen became the focus of the whole audience!
Being number one on the Dragon Ranking is nothing.

At least, in their eyes, it is nothing!

But this one, who was ranked first on the Strongest Dragon List in History, was an exception. He was able to reach the level of being on par with them with his True Immortal body, so they would naturally pay attention to him. (End of this chapter)
