Living in the deep palace

“Immortal Su, Fellow Daoist Wuxin, you are finally back!” Ancient Immortal Jin Guang welcomed the two into the core hall of the Sea of ​​Lihen.

"The cave and healing resources are ready, please rest and recuperate."

The Ancient Immortal Jin Guang was still a little too proud to address Su Chen as his master or sir as a subordinate or a servant.

"Thank you." Su Chen nodded, not caring about the title of Jin Guangxian.

not to mention.

Now he really needs a safe environment to recover his strength.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, he stood at the top, ranked first on both lists, but he also had many enemies! If he didn't recover his strength quickly, he would be in trouble if a few ancient god kings came.

soon.

Under the arrangement of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang, Su Chen and the Immortal Wu Xin each entered a secret room filled with spiritual energy and heavy restrictions, and began to practice in seclusion.

At this time, the news of the great battle in Guixu finally spread throughout the vast starry sea, and the entire vast starry sea was instantly boiling.

Because a group of ancient god kings and the Xuanyu Immortal List went in to investigate, they were horrified to find that Tian Buyu’s base camp had been razed to the ground!

Judging from the scale and traces, there are at least two Golden Immortal-level beings fighting each other.

then.

News of the demise of the Tian Buyu organization came again. Their leader: No. 1 is dead!
boom!
In an instant.

The entire vast sea of ​​stars was boiling.

After all, it is not difficult to investigate the fact that Su Chen, a terrifying immortal, went to Guixu. As long as one is determined, one can find it out.

And it also coincides perfectly with the timeline of the war.

"Could it be that this... terrifying immortal has skipped the second realm of ineffable and directly achieved the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, entering the third realm?"

"impossible!"

"In this era, as long as Zuo Qingcang, the filthy sun, still stands above the starry sky, it is impossible for a new Golden Immortal to be born!"

"Even if the birth is successful, this golden immortal is still crazy!"

There was a lot of discussion in the vast sea of ​​stars.

The ancient god kings and the Xuanyu Immortal List met and communicated with each other for the rare occasion, but they were unable to guess whether it was done by the terrifying immortal.

If so, we can only say that the future is destined to be an era of terrifying immortals.

"Ugh!"

"I was originally ranked first on the Xuanyu Immortal Ranking, but was pushed down to second place by him. I wanted to test his strength."

"It seems that it's a good thing I didn't go. Otherwise, I would have brought shame upon myself. I didn't even have the confidence to hunt No. 1, but I ended up dying in his hands?"

Someone on the Xuanyu Immortal List is sighing.

……

……

Another place.

In the deep palace of the gods, a figure stood, absorbing the arrangements and fortune he left behind here.

He frowned, and it was also because he received this news from Bao Huangtian that he could not help but remain silent for a while.

"Has Number One fallen?"

"But...why am I so sad..."

"Ugh!"

"I'm not Zero. If I were, it would be that bastard Di Yuan."

This figure was none other than the Godly Emperor who appeared briefly and then disappeared without a trace, also known as Di Xuan.

He is sighing.

For a moment, he was a little dazed.

even.

He was even wondering whether Su Chen was the one who reached the top of the era. How come he had the means arranged in his previous life, but now his climbing speed was not as fast as the other party?

You know, he has refined the arrangements left over from ten previous lives, and now he has only barely reached the level of a God King.

As for the other party, they have now already ranked first on the Xuanyu Immortal List!

Far superior to him.

"Hurry up!"

"I don't know what happened to Di Yuan either."

"I'm afraid his thoughts are even more complicated! After all, he is the emperor who has reached the pinnacle of the immortal path, but he was surpassed by a mere junior!"

Di Xuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

The most urgent task now is to absorb this arrangement and cultivate to the level of Ancient God King. In this way, he can step to the front and promote changes in the world.

……

……

"The sky is silent. Haha, you guys are still trying to push for a "sinking ground" and want to imitate the collapse of the sky back then. It's really ridiculous."

“Do you really think that the seven Epochal Emperors after Zuo Qingcang are idiots who did nothing?!”

"It has been dormant for ten epochs. Can't it continue to dormant?"

"waiting!"

"waiting!"

"Obviously, as long as we wait until the source of the sea of ​​stars is exhausted, the vast sea of ​​stars will be completely integrated outside the gate. Why do we have to be so anxious?"

Emperor Yuan stood there, looking at the land of Guixu from afar. He was silent and sad.

It was just the distant memory that was bothering him.

But he is not size zero either.

Now, he has hidden his real name and is ranked third on the Xuanyu Immortal List, which was once the second place. This identity is also his arrangement and has existed for many, many years.

……

……

that's it.

Time flies, and three years have passed.

During these three years, Su Chen relied on the recovery ability of his immortal body and the resources provided by the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang, and his injuries were finally healed completely. His strength also recovered to the perfect level of a Ten-Turn Immortal!

"call!"

"As expected, only when your strength is restored can you feel safe!"

Su Chen let out a long breath.

And Wuxin Immortal, under Su Chen's guidance and the allocation of resources, successfully made up for his previous losses, and turned a disaster into a blessing. He integrated the origins of the three immortal methods more thoroughly, and was only one step away from becoming a true Xuanyu Immortal.

On this day, Su Chen walked out of the secret room where he had been in seclusion. He looked energetic and solemn, even more unfathomable than he was three years ago.

"I see..." he muttered, a relieved smile on his face.

Somewhere.

He had some enlightenment and knew the path above the Tenth Turn Immortal. "Above the Tenth Turn Immortal, there should no longer be the traditional Xuanxian and Xuanyuxian, which are the three realms and one extreme."

"Above it, that should belong to me, Su Chen, and my Longevity Tree... a unique realm!"

There was a gleam of enlightenment in Su Chen's eyes.

One gives birth to two, black and white rotate, life and death are intertwined, this is the realm of ten turns.

Two return to one, all things have the same origin, all return to the beginning, all originate from Tai Yi. 'Tai' means the greatest without outside; 'Yi' means the beginning of all things and the source of vitality.

"My next realm should be... Taiyi!"

"Taiyi Immortal? No, the word immortal is not enough to describe it. My way should be equal to the heaven and be as respected as the Tao!"

"Taiyi... Celestial Immortal!"

boom!
When the four words "Taiyi Tianxian" were completely understood in his heart, Su Chen felt a violent shock in his soul, as if an invisible shackle was suddenly broken!
The Ten Revolutions Immortal Essence in his body seemed to have undergone an inexplicable transformation at this moment. Although the total amount did not increase, its essence seemed to be purer and closer to some origin.

Faintly, he felt that he had established a closer connection with the laws of the universe that omnipresent in the void.

This is not a breakthrough in the realm of cultivation, but a kind of... sublimation of the Tao heart and cognition!

His unspeakable path to the second realm!

His name is: Taiyi Tianxian!
There are three realms and one extreme in total!
Junior high, intermediate and senior high are the three realms!
One extreme is called: Tianjixian!

At this moment, he pondered, his gaze cast into the depths of the distant starry sky, which was the direction of the Heavenly Palace's treasure house.

He summoned the ancient immortal Jin Guang.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, thank you for your care over the past three years."

Su Chen spoke straight to the point.

“You are too polite, Immortal Su. This is what I should do.” Ancient Immortal Jin Guang bowed quickly.

He could clearly feel that Su Chen's aura at this moment was even more terrifying than before. That kind of invisible pressure made even this former Golden Immortal feel terrified.

Xuanyu Immortal List?

With such strength, who else could be number one?

But ranking first on both lists is still a bit too shocking.

As a true immortal, he ranks first on the Xuanyu Immortal List.

Jin Guangxian was also shocked.

In two eras, no, ten eras, he had never heard of such a monster!

Simultaneously.

He secretly felt fortunate that he had chosen to surrender.

Otherwise, with Su Chen's current strength, he might be able to completely wipe out his incarnation that has lost its Golden Immortal status with just a thought.

Su Chen nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, have you ever heard of...'Gravekeeper'?"

He looked at the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang with burning eyes, hoping to get some useful information from him.

Now, he has reached the perfection of the Tenth Turn of Immortal, and it is time to continue walking and explore the next path.

Back then, he suffered a great loss in the Heavenly Palace’s treasury!
Now is the time to find out.

If there are any resources in the world that can help him explore the path to a higher level, they are probably only those in the treasure house of heaven.

Rumor has it that there is a golden immortal in it!

Su Chen didn't know whether it was true or not, but he still wanted to go there again! Even if he met that grave keeper, he felt that he had a chance to escape.

The ancient immortal Jin Guang heard this.

His whole body trembled, and his eyes showed unprecedented shock and horror!

"Gravekeeper?!" He repeated in a trembling voice, as if he had heard something taboo!
"Su Shangxian...you...where did you know this name?!"

The blood color on Jin Guang Gu Xian’s face instantly faded, and his eyes were filled with extreme fear.

It was as if the three words "gravekeeper" were a taboo among taboos, enough to make even this former Golden Immortal shudder at the mere mention of them.

Seeing him lose his composure like this, Su Chen became more and more certain that this ancient golden immortal must know some important secrets about the gravekeeper.

His face was calm, and he said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, don't panic. I just heard it by chance and I don't have any other intentions."

"In addition to recuperating from my injuries, Su wants to ask Daoyou for advice. Daoyou was once a golden immortal and has a wide range of knowledge. I believe you must know the many secrets of the ancient immortal world and heaven."

The Golden Light Ancient Immortal took a few deep breaths and said bitterly, "Shangxian Su, you are too kind. My little Taoist skill is nothing compared to a true ancient being. As for the 'gravekeeper'... Shangxian, please forgive me for being blunt, but that is not a being that we can discuss or provoke!"

"Oh?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'd like to hear the details."

The ancient immortal Jin Guang looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said in an almost inaudible tone: "Shangxian Su, do you know why the Heavenly Palace Treasury is called a 'forbidden area'?"

Su Chen nodded: "I have heard a little bit about it. It is said that the Heavenly Court Treasury is a relic of the ancient Heavenly Court. It contains countless rare treasures, but it is also extremely dangerous and guarded by terrifying beings."

"A terrifying existence..." The body of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang shook unconsciously, with deep fear revealed in his eyes.

"Su Shangxian, the terrifying existence you are talking about is the 'Gravekeeper'! But there is not only one 'Gravekeeper', but an... identity, a... curse!"

"Curse?" Su Chen's heart moved.

"That's right!" The voice of the Golden Light Ancient Immortal became increasingly low. "It is rumored that every Golden Immortal who attempts to get his hands on the core secrets of the Heavenly Court's treasury, or violates some kind of taboo, may have his soul imprisoned by a mysterious force after his death, and become a 'gravekeeper'!"

"They will never be reborn, their memories have all been altered, there are more than one of them, but they are all one!"

"When one dies, a new Golden Immortal will take over the memory of the Gravekeeper and be resurrected!"

"But every time I die, my realm will drop. I need to absorb the energy of a long time before I can hope to recover..."

"They can only guard that cold treasure house day after day, and... the things suppressed under the treasure house!"

"Something suppressed under the treasure house?" Su Chen grasped the key sharply.

The face of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang turned even paler. He glanced around and continued, "Shangxian Su, this matter concerns the shocking secret of the vast sea of ​​stars. I have only glimpsed a few words from some incomplete ancient books and ancient rumors. Don't take it seriously."

"But it is said that the Heavenly Palace Treasury is not just a treasury. It is more like a...huge seal! A seal that suppresses an ominous thing...that is powerful enough to destroy the entire vast sea of ​​stars!"

"The gravekeeper's duty is to guard this seal, to prevent anyone from approaching, and to prevent... the things inside from coming out."

The voice of the Golden Light Ancient Immortal was filled with despair. "They were all powerful Golden Immortals when they were alive, but after death they became puppets without independent consciousness, with only the instinct to protect and the endless desire to kill."

"Moreover, they seem to have retained some of the power of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit from their previous lives. For some unknown reason, their power has even become more bizarre and powerful!"

"The Golden Immortal is resurrected...that's it!" Su Chen suddenly realized.

He was wondering before how it could be so easy for the Golden Immortal to be resurrected. Now it seems that it is not a true resurrection at all, but a more cruel kind of... slavery!
"So, the danger level of the Heavenly Palace's treasury is far beyond my imagination." Su Chen frowned.

"It's beyond imagination!"

The Ancient Immortal Jin Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Shangxian Su, the Heavenly Palace Treasury has been a forbidden place since ancient times. Not to mention ordinary immortals, even true golden immortals dare not set foot there easily!"

"Throughout history, there have been many Golden Immortals who have attempted to break in, but they all ended up dead, or even... becoming new gravekeepers!"

He paused, and looked at Su Chen with an extremely solemn expression: "Su Shangxian, I don't know why you are so obsessed with the Heavenly Palace Treasure House, but I sincerely advise you that that place... is not worth going to! At least, don't try it lightly before you are absolutely sure!"

Su Chen was silent.

The words of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang were like a huge rock pressing down on his heart.

He originally thought that after he had broken through to the perfection of the Tenth Turn of Immortal, his strength had greatly increased, and he might be able to venture into the Heavenly Palace's treasury again to look for an opportunity to impact the realm of "Taiyi Heavenly Immortal".

But now it seems that he thought things were too simple. (End of this chapter)
