Living in the deep palace

Su Chen was not worrying for no reason.

This was a sudden inspiration, and although he couldn't find any evidence, he just had this feeling.

From the actions of No. 1 and No. 2, as well as the final strange scene in Guixu, he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an invisible black hand controlling everything from behind.

And their goal seems to be not only to open the "door", but more likely... to be related to the survival of the entire vast starry sea!

"Your Excellency is absolutely right."

Wu Xinxian nodded and said, "The destruction of Tian Buyu will definitely alert certain beings. We must improve our strength as soon as possible to deal with possible changes in the future."

Su Chen nodded slightly and his gaze turned to the depths of the distant starry sky, which was the direction of the Tianxu star region.

"Let's go back to the Sea of ​​Separation first." Su Chen said, "The Ancient Immortal Jin Guang may have some... information that I need."

He had previously obtained many secrets about the "gravekeeper" and the "Treasure House of Heaven" from the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang.

But he always felt that the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang seemed to be hiding something...something deeper.

Moreover, he had promised the Golden Light Ancient Immortal that he would help him integrate the forces of the Sea of ​​​​Separation. Now that the war is over, it is time to fulfill his promise.

The two of them did not delay any longer and turned into streams of light, flying towards the direction of the Tianxu star region.

And shortly after Su Chen and Wu Xinxian left.

On a desolate star not far from where they were in seclusion.

The space distorted slightly, and two figures quietly emerged.

One of them was wearing gorgeous golden armor, with a dignified face and a majestic aura. He was one of the three most powerful ancient gods of the gods... the God King of Dongji!
The three most powerful ancient gods!

One for each of the three major clans of God!
This God King of Dongji is from the Feng clan!
Next to him was a mysterious man shrouded in a dark cloak.

The man had a strange and erratic aura, as if he had merged with the surrounding darkness, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Dongji, it seems... our target has left." The man in black robe made a hoarse and low voice.

The Eastern Divine King frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Humph, that Su Chen is quite alert. The 'net of heaven and earth' that I laid down couldn't trap him."

"Haha, he is able to destroy the two leaders of Tian Buyu by himself and break the forbidden killing formation. How can he be easily defeated?"

The black-robed man chuckled and said, "If Daoist Dongji underestimates him, I'm afraid... he will suffer a great loss."

The Eastern Divine King snorted coldly and did not refute. Although he was conceited, he also knew that Su Chen had indeed grown to a point that made him feel difficult.

"How are the preparations going, Master Xuan?"

The Eastern Divine King changed the subject and asked.

"Everything went smoothly." The man in black robe said, "The Star Devouring Formation has been set up, and we are just waiting for... Su Chen to fall into the trap."

"Very good." A trace of cold murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Eastern Divine King, "This time, I will make sure that he... never returns!"

He paused, looked at the man in black robes, and said in a deep voice: "I hope... you can fulfill your promise."

The black-robed man laughed in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Daoist Dongji. As long as we can capture Su Chen and seize the source of the Longevity Tree from him, all the benefits promised by my Lord will be fulfilled."

"It's just that... the Wuxin Immortal beside Su Chen doesn't seem to be an ordinary person either, and he has a close relationship with Su Chen. If he tries to stop us..."

"No problem." A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Eastern Divine King. "I don't even take a newly promoted person at the bottom of the Xuanyu Immortal Ranking seriously. When necessary, I will get rid of him."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robe said no more, but just chuckled for an unknown reason. His figure gradually blended into the darkness and disappeared.

The God King of Dongji looked in the direction where the man in black robe disappeared, and a trace of vigilance and disgust flashed in his eyes.

Cooperating with these guys who hide their heads and show their tails is like seeking the skin of a tiger. But in order to deal with Su Chen and for the future of the God Clan, he had to... temporarily endure it.

"Su Chen...The Tree of Immortality..." The Eastern Divine King muttered to himself, with greed and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

A huge conspiracy against Su Chen is quietly brewing.

Su Chen, who was completely unaware of this, still rushed towards the Tianxu star region with Wuxinxian.

What awaits him will be an unprecedented bloody storm! And he has not noticed it yet!
……

……

Tianxu star field, sea of ​​​​separation and hatred.

After the integration of Su Chen's thundering means and the full cooperation of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang, this star field that was once turbulent due to the invasion of Tian Buyu and the gods has now initially restored order.

After witnessing Su Chen's overwhelming strength and the complete submission of the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang, the remaining forces of the Immortal Alliance no longer had any disloyalty and expressed their willingness to obey Su Chen's orders.

The core fairy city of Lihen Sea has now been named "Taiyi Fairy City" by Su Chen as his temporary base here.

Inside the city, on the top of a fairy mountain with the richest spiritual energy, Su Chen sat cross-legged, with a faint golden halo surrounding him.

That nascent "Taiyi Dao Mark" became more solid under his deliberate nurturing, and the sense of eternity and dignity it exuded became more pure.

Wuxinxian was guarding him not far away, and at the same time he was seizing the time to consolidate his own realm and digest the origin of the divine way that he had taken from the God King Bei Tianwang.

The North Sky King is an existence in the Emperor's clan who has the potential to be promoted to the Ancient God King. His original power is undoubtedly a great tonic for Wuxinxian, who is about to impact the Xuanyu Immortal List.

He could feel that he was only a thin layer of window paper away from the legendary Xuanyu Immortal List.

"Sir, the ancient immortal Jin Guang wants to see you." Wu Xinxian sensed the movement below the mountain, opened his eyes, and reported softly.

Su Chen slowly ended his practice, the golden halo around him retracted into his body, and the heart-pounding pressure also dissipated.

He opened his eyes, and they were clear and bright, as if the previous retreat was just a short rest.

"Let him come up." Su Chen said lightly.

A moment later, the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang came to the top of the mountain respectfully and bowed deeply to Su Chen: "Greetings to the Immortal Su."

The current Jin Guang Ancient Immortal has long lost the arrogance of being a Golden Immortal, and even less the majesty when he led the Immortal Alliance. In front of Su Chen, he is like an ordinary Xuan Yu Immortal cultivator, and his words and actions are full of awe.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, there is no need to be so polite." Su Chen waved his hand. "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

This time when Su Chen returned to the Sea of ​​Lihen, in addition to consolidating his own realm, he asked the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang to use the intelligence network of the Immortal Alliance to continue searching for clues about the "self-sealed Golden Immortal" and other possible remains of the Longevity Tree in the vast sea of ​​stars.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang showed a trace of guilt on his face: "Reporting to the Immortal Su, regarding the self-sealed Golden Immortal, I have sent people to try their best to investigate, but his whereabouts are too secretive and the time is too long. At present... there is no definite news."

He paused and continued, "However, I have sorted out some ancient forbidden areas and secrets in the starry sea. Among them, there may be something that the Immortal is interested in."

As he spoke, the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang took out a jade slip and handed it to Su Chen respectfully.

Su Chen took the jade slip, probed his spiritual thoughts into it, and quickly read through it.

The jade slips record many secrets and forbidden information about the vast starry sea that have been passed down since ancient times, including some secrets that even Su Chen has never heard of.

For example, the "Ten Thousand Demons Abyss" where the corpses of ancient gods and demons are buried is said to be a world of its own, filled with violent gods and demons and terrifying ancient evil spirits;

For example, the "Netherworld Ghost Den" located in the extreme east of the starry sea, which is shrouded by the "Nine Netherworld Wind" all year round, is rumored to be a passage connecting the Nine Netherworlds, and is home to countless ghosts, immortals, and gods.

Each of these forbidden areas is extremely dangerous. Even the strong ones on the Xuanyu Immortal List dare not set foot in it easily.

Su Chen looked at it carefully, hoping to find some clues related to the Tree of Immortality or the mysterious Golden Immortal.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a piece of information.

"Chaos Thunder Lake?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

The jade slips record that the Chaos Thunder Lake is located deep in the Tianfa Star Region. It is a forbidden area shrouded in endless chaos divine thunder.

The chaotic divine thunder there is extremely powerful, and each one is enough to kill a Xuanxian easily. Even a Xuanyuxian would be unable to move in it.

But what Su Chen cared about most was that the jade slip mentioned that the core area of ​​the Chaos Thunder Lake seemed to be nurturing some kind of... treasure related to "life" and "creation".

There was an ancient legend that in the deepest part of the Chaos Thunder Lake, there was a phantom of a sacred tree... bathed in endless lightning!
The shadow of a sacred tree? Bathed in lightning?
Su Chen's heart moved, and he remembered the Tree of Immortality in his body!
The Immortality Tree itself contained endless vitality and the power of creation. Could it be that the shadow of the sacred tree in the Chaos Thunder Lake was related to the Immortality Tree?

Will the last tree heart be there?
"Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, do you know more details about this Chaos Thunder Lake?"

Su Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Immortal Jin Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Reporting to the Immortal Su, the Chaos Thunder Lake is one of the most famous forbidden areas in the Heavenly Punishment Star Region. Its level of danger is even higher than that of the Immortal Burial Ruins."

"I have only seen records about it in some ancient books, and I know very little about the specifics."

He paused and added, "However, I have heard that the Chaos Divine Thunder in the Chaos Thunder Lake does not seem to be formed naturally, but... a thunder punishment formation set up by a powerful being from the ancient times with supreme power!"

"Its purpose seems to be to protect... or suppress... something in the core of Lei Ze."

"The Thunder Punishment Array? Guard? Suppress? Ten epochs, it seems there are many sealed places to suppress monsters!"

Su Chen's eyes became more serious.

This chaotic thunder lake seems to be hiding unknown secrets.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Jin Guang."

Su Chen put away the jade slip, "This information is very useful to me."

Although the clues about the self-sealed Golden Immortal were still slim, the information about the Chaos Thunder Lake gave him a glimmer of new hope.

Regardless of whether the phantom of the sacred tree is related to the Tree of Immortality, the treasure that breeds "life" and "creation" is worth his exploration.

Anyway, he is now number one on the Xuanyu Immortal List, a true top star in the sea of ​​​​stars, and there are very few people who can be his rival.

It can almost be said that there is nothing below the Golden Immortal!
Just as Su Chen was thinking about the Chaos Thunder Lake, something strange happened!

Rumble——! ! !
A vast and terrifying pressure filled with the aura of destruction and devouring descended upon Taiyi Immortal City without any warning!
The entire Immortal City trembled violently under this pressure, and countless restrictions were instantly broken! The cultivators in the city, regardless of their level of cultivation, felt their souls throbbing at this moment, as if the end of the world had come!

"Not good! A powerful enemy is coming!"

The ancient immortal Jin Guang’s face changed drastically and he cried out in shock.

Su Chen suddenly raised his head, his eyes as fast as lightning, penetrating through layers of void, looking in the direction where the pressure came from!

I saw that in the sky above Taiyi Immortal City, at some point, a huge black vortex appeared!
The vortex was like a black hole connected to another dimension, spinning slowly and emitting a heart-pounding devouring power!

The surrounding starlight, meteorites, and even the space itself were all being forcibly sucked and swallowed by the black vortex!
And below the black vortex, three figures exuding a terrifying aura quietly emerged!
The leader, wearing gorgeous golden divine armor, with a dignified face and a majestic aura, is none other than the God King Dongji, one of the three ancient God Kings of the God Clan!
On his left was an old man shrouded in a bloody murderous aura, with a haggard face, red eyes, and a disgusting smell of blood.

The power of his pressure is not weaker than that of the Eastern Divine King. He is also an...ancient Divine King-level existence!
On the right side of the Eastern Divine King, there is a being with an even more bizarre and powerful aura!
The man was also shrouded in a pitch-black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the aura emanating from his body... was cold, dead, but had a hint of "origin" charm, which made Su Chen's pupils suddenly shrink!

This aura...he recognized it!

It is the power of the Tianbuyu Organization! And...it is purer than No. 1's "Original Nirvana Power" and closer to the origin!
"The Eastern Divine King... The Blood Demon Ancestor..."

"If converted into the Xuanyu Immortal Ranking, he can be considered as a top three figure!"

Su Chen's eyes swept across the two Ancient God Kings and finally landed on the black-robed man. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Is there another... remnant of Tian Buyu who is hiding his head and showing his tail?"

"Su Chen! You are here indeed!"

The Eastern Divine King let out an angry roar, his voice was like thunder in the sky, shaking the entire starry sky.

The look he gave Su Chen was filled with endless murderous intent and greed: "Kill my God Clan's Northern Sky King and destroy my God Clan's army!"

"Today, I will tear you into pieces, extract your soul and refine your spirit, to comfort the souls of my fallen warriors in heaven!"

"Haha, Dongji Divine King, you are so arrogant." Su Chen raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, "Who do you think you are to say this to me?"

"You!!!" The Dongji God King was furious, and golden divine light around him surged. The terrifying pressure of the God King was like a substance that crushed towards Su Chen!

however.

Su Chen just stood there quietly. When the terrifying pressure approached him, it disappeared without a trace like a drop in the ocean. (End of this chapter)
