Living in the deep palace

Su Chen stepped onto the stone platform, where a huge stone tablet formed from golden runes stood before him, exuding an aura of antiquity and vastness.

The surface of the stone tablet is as smooth as a mirror, yet it seems to contain endless mysteries, leaving people mesmerized.

"What exactly is this stone tablet?"

Su Chen muttered to himself.
He could feel that the stone tablet resonated even more strongly with the "Taiyi Dao Seed" in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if the two were originally one, but separated for some reason.

He reached out and tried to touch the stone tablet.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the stone tablet—

hum! ! !
Suddenly, the stone tablet burst forth with dazzling nine-colored light!

Amidst the rosy glow, countless smaller and more mysterious golden runes moved about as if they were alive, eventually converging into lines of ancient characters that were imprinted in Su Chen's mind!

"The Record of Suppressing Demons with Taiyi?!"

Su Chen was utterly shocked!

The inscription on this stone tablet was actually a supreme cultivation technique called "Taiyi Demon Suppression Record"! Its contents were profound and mysterious, far surpassing any cultivation technique Su Chen had ever seen in his life!
What shocked him even more was that this "Taiyi Demon Suppression Record" seemed to be inextricably linked to his own path of "Taiyi Celestial Immortal", and could even be said to be... a direct descendant!
"Could it be... that this stone tablet is the complete legacy left behind by other Taiyi Heavenly Immortals?"

"This……"

"If it's true, that would be wonderful!"

Su Chen suppressed his excitement. He had long known that there were more Xuanxian in this world than he thought, who were following the path of Taiyi.

However, the Ten-Turn Immortal Longevity is unique to him!
Perhaps there are exceptionally talented individuals who have successfully navigated the path to Taiyi transformation within the Xuanyu Immortal realm; it is not impossible.

then.

Su Chen began to carefully study the words in his mind.

The Taiyi Demon Suppression Record is not simply a cultivation technique; it is more like a Daoist classic that elucidates the origin of the universe, the cycle of life and death, and how to control the "Taiyi Power."
It records many mysterious and profound secret techniques and supernatural abilities that Su Chen had never heard of before, each of which possesses the power to destroy the world!

For example, by harnessing the power of the stars, one can set up the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array" to trap and kill powerful enemies invisibly!
For example, one could ignite the Netherworld Fire and summon the "Netherworld Demon Suppressor" to burn away all the filth in the world!
Even more extraordinary, they can transform into Taiyi, wield the power of reincarnation, reverse life and death, and reshape the universe!
"What a powerful technique!"

"This is completely different from my rudimentary use of my own body, the simple punches and kicks. This is much more profound in the circulation of power." The more Su Chen looked, the more astonished he became, and the more fascinated he became.

He seemed to have opened a door
As the door to a whole new world opens, the understanding of the "Power of Taiyi" is also rapidly deepening!

The "Taiyi Dao Seed" within the body was frantically absorbing this information, constantly improving and growing stronger, radiating an increasingly brilliant light!

Su Chen was completely immersed in the profound mysteries of "Taiyi Zhenmo Lu", forgetting the passage of time and where he was.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his entire demeanor underwent an indescribable transformation, becoming more profound and more... majestic!
"So that's how it is... This 'Taiyi Demon Suppression Record' is the true core of the Taiyi Celestial Immortal's inheritance!"

"What I grasped on my own before was merely the tip of the iceberg!"

Su Chen took a deep breath, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, his control over the "Taiyi Power" has reached a whole new level!

Although his cultivation level was still at the initial stage of Taiyi Xuanxian, his actual combat strength had increased several times over compared to before!
"Now, perhaps... I really can go toe-to-toe with a genuine Golden Immortal!"

Su Chen's eyes gleamed with confidence.

He looked at the huge stone tablet again and found that the golden characters on it had disappeared, replaced by an extremely mysterious... star map.
No, that's not an ordinary star chart; it's more like a microcosm of the universe's workings! It contains the mysteries of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the celestial sphere, and even... the laws of spacetime!

"This stone tablet... is a priceless treasure in itself!"

Su Chen's heart stirred, and he tried to probe into it with his divine sense.

hum!
The stone tablet trembled slightly, and then transformed into a stream of light that merged into Su Chen's brow!

Boom!

Su Chen felt a loud bang in his mind, as if the stars of the entire universe had exploded in his sea of ​​consciousness!

Countless insights into formations, restrictions, and the origin of the universe flooded into his memory like a tidal wave!

His mastery of formations began to soar at this moment!
The realm that originally required decades of arduous cultivation to reach was broken through in just a few breaths!

"This...this is simply...a revelation!"

Su Chen was overjoyed!

This stone tablet not only contains the inheritance of the "Taiyi Demon Suppression Record," but it is also more like the embodiment of the lifelong insights of a grandmaster of formations! Obtaining it will make Su Chen's achievements in the art of formations limitless!
"Hahahaha! Great! That's great!"

Su Chen couldn't help but roar to the sky, his heart filled with unprecedented pride and confidence!

With this extraordinary encounter, what fear did he have of that so-called slumbering golden immortal?! What fear did he have of that mysterious and unpredictable celestial lord?!

"Unintentional!"

With a thought, Su Chen saw Wu Xin Xian's figure quietly appear beside him.

“My lord, you…” Wuxin Xian looked at Su Chen, his eyes filled with shock.

He could clearly sense that Su Chen's aura was several times stronger than when he entered the stone platform!
That feeling... was as if I were facing a real... ancient god!
"Just go with me!"

Su Chen said no more, pulled up Wuxin Xian, and in a flash, he appeared directly outside the Heavenly Treasury!
The super complex array set up by a Golden Immortal to protect the treasure vault was completely useless in front of him!
He simply took a few steps in the void and easily passed through the layers of restrictions, as if he were strolling leisurely!
This is the terrifying aspect of mastering the Ninth Key and reaching the pinnacle of array formation skills!
"This...it's out already?!"

Wu Xin Xian was still somewhat incredulous.

You should know that when they first entered this place, they faced a life-or-death situation and were extremely dangerous!

"The gravedigger!"

Su Chen stood in the void, his gaze like two sharp swords piercing the silent immortal island, "Come out and face your death!"

His voice, imbued with the power of Taiyi, was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire Heavenly Treasury!
boom! ! !
The fairy island suddenly exploded!

The figure of the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Immortal reappeared, but this time, thanks to the breathing space Su Chen had given him, he had recovered considerably.

His aura was even more violent and more... unstable than before!

His empty eyes burned with a raging rage and a hint of... barely perceptible fear!

Clearly, Su Chen's roar, which contained the power of Taiyi, had also had a significant impact on him!

"You brat! How dare you...provoke me?!"

The Sword Immortal of Slaughtering Heaven let out a hoarse roar.

"Provocation?" Su Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "No, I'm here... to take your life!"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen moved!
He didn't even use any magic; he simply threw another punch!
But this punch was completely different from the probing punch he had thrown on the stone platform before!

The moment the fist was thrown, the heavens and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds swirled!

On Su Chen's fist, there was a tangible light golden "Taiyi Immortal Essence", within which it seemed that billions of stars were being born and dying, and the universe was evolving!
This punch contained Su Chen's latest understanding of the "Taiyi Power"! It contained his initial mastery of the "Taiyi Demon Suppression Record"!

This punch was his strongest punch to date!
Faced with this earth-shattering punch, the empty eyes of the Slaughtering Sword Immortal finally revealed once again... the emotion called "fear"!

It frantically brandished its healing, dark gold immortal sword, trying to defend itself!
But... it was all in vain!
Click! ! !

The dark golden immortal sword, this ferocious weapon that had once slain countless immortals and gods, shattered into pieces the moment it touched Su Chen's fist, like rotten wood!
Next!

Su Chen's fist, carrying unparalleled power, slammed into the chest of the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Immortal!
boom--! ! ! !

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor the expected rampage of energy.

The moment the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Immortal's body was struck by Su Chen's fist, it turned as cold as ice and snow exposed to sunlight...

Melts away rapidly! Disintegrates!

It didn't even have time to utter a scream before it vanished into nothingness!
It's as if... it never existed!
quiet!
Deathly silence!

Wu Xin Xian stared blankly at the scene before him, his mind a complete blank. A punch…

Just one punch...

He completely annihilated a terrifying tomb guardian whose strength was comparable to a Golden Immortal?!
Is this... is this still the Lord Su Chen he knows?!

This is simply...unbeatable!!!

Su Chen slowly withdrew his fist and exhaled a long breath.

"The power of a Golden Immortal... is nothing more than this."

He said lightly.

He could sense that, at the last moment, the Sword Immortal of Slaughtering Heaven seemed to want to detonate some kind of restriction and perish together with him.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute "Taiyi power", all its methods seemed so pale and powerless.

With the tomb guardian dealt with, the Heavenly Palace Treasury is about to reverse course again, resurrecting a new tomb guardian.

However, because Su Chen stood there, his formation seemed to be stuck, and he was unable to revive the new tomb guardian for a long time.

at the same time.

Su Chen's gaze finally fell upon the vast starry sky; he prepared to depart.

"Next..."

A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

"It's time to... meet up with those 'old friends'!"

With a thought, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

He has more important things to do.

The "Gate of the End" that he forcibly opened, and the unknown and terrifying world behind it, always loomed over his mind like a shadow.

He must... find the remaining two fragments of the Longevity Tree as soon as possible, and truly step into the realm of "Taiyi Heavenly Immortal"!
Only in this way will he be qualified to face whatever the future may bring!
This time.

Without further delay, Su Chen tore through the void and sped towards the Tianxu Star Region.

He's going to find the Golden Immortal!

Go find that slumbering golden immortal, and reclaim what belongs to him... the third section of tree tendrils!

At this moment, Su Chen was unaware that shortly after he left the Heavenly Treasury...

A new guardian of the tomb has been born, and his shattered bronze armor and rusted ancient sword are silently and slowly reforming...

But this time, it seems he hasn't forgotten.

In his empty eyes, there seemed to be... a very faint... strange light... as if something was quietly awakening...

……

……

Also at this time.

As the light shone and the scenery changed, the Heavenly Palace Treasury transformed into other scenes, filled with endless strange beasts, rivers and lakes, and green mountains and clear waters.

and.

There are two more figures standing here.

"strangeness."

"what happened?"

"Isn't the scene supposed to change every hundred years?"

"The treasure troves of the eight great families take turns changing, so why did they suddenly change ahead of schedule? Has something happened?"

A questioning voice rang out.

These two figures were none other than the Dead Soul Immortal Ancestor, who had disappeared without a trace during the battle at the Heavenly Palace Treasury, and the mysterious ancient life form—She Ling.

More than a thousand years have passed, and they have not left yet; they are still dividing up the secret treasures of the Heavenly Palace Treasury.

"strangeness."

"It seems to have a familiar feel to it."

The Immortal Ancestor of the Dead Souls uttered a questioning sound.

Subsequently.

He placed a piece at the right spot.

Everything that had happened in another treasure world, namely the treasure world of the Xuanxian Land, was transformed into a phantom and rapidly re-evolved.

hum!
For a while.

Both She Ling and the Dead Soul Immortal Ancestor fell silent.

She Ling, in particular, stared wide-eyed, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

"This……"

"How can it be!"

"Good heavens! He actually... This fellow Daoist was lucky not to have died in the Heavenly Palace Treasury last time."

"As a result, only a little over a thousand years have passed, and they have already been able to kill even Golden Immortals. Even if the Golden Immortal tomb guardian here is not a complete Golden Immortal, he is definitely much stronger than an ordinary half-step Golden Immortal."

"How can this be!"

"Could it be that Zuo Qingcang's corruption has been eradicated? Otherwise, how could a Golden Immortal be born?"

She Ling's eyes were filled with shock; she couldn't understand it.

Once the Heavenly Palace Treasure Vault world opened, it isolated them from the world, so they naturally could not log into the Treasure Yellow Heaven to peer into the vast starry sea outside.

Therefore, for the past thousand years, they have been completely unaware of what is happening outside and have no idea how terrifying Su Chen is now.

Do not!
The entire vast starry sea is currently unaware that Su Chen, despite being at the second realm, possesses the power of a Golden Immortal.

"Ugh."

"That's normal."

"If it's him, it's normal for him to occasionally do amazing things that ordinary people can't."

"But I never expected him to be this strong!"

The eyes of the Death Soul Immortal Ancestor revealed a complex divine light as he spoke.

For a while.

The two of them fell into an eerie silence throughout the entire Heavenly Palace Treasury.

these years.

He gained something from the Heavenly Palace Treasury, and his strength improved, but he still couldn't do what Su Chen did—slay the Golden Immortal tomb guardian with his own sword! (End of Chapter)
