Living in the deep palace

Ten thousand years is enough time for the ocean to turn into mulberry fields.

That would be enough for the seeds he personally sowed to grow into a towering forest that could support the entire immortal civilization!
He slowly raised his hand, and an invisible yet irresistible gentle force lifted everyone up.

"Ten thousand years."

"It's time to let this sea of ​​stars remember the name 'Taiyi' once again."

His voice, though calm, clearly reached everyone's ears, as if it were an absolute decree announcing the arrival of a new era!

He had a thought in his mind.

The "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Gui Yuan Great Array," which had shrouded Taiyi Immortal City for a full ten thousand years, slowly dissipated without a sound.

This "sacred land of immortals," which had long been a legend in the sea of ​​stars, has finally revealed its magnificent and sacred true face to the entire universe once again!

The moment Taiyi Immortal City reappeared in the world.

Throughout the vast starry sea, all the powerful beings whose cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal level or above sensed that familiar yet terrifying supreme Dao aura originating from the Heavenly Void Star Domain at the very first moment!

"It's Taiyi Palace!"

"The sacred land that has been legendary for ten thousand years has been born!"

"Ten thousand years... Has that 'Terrifying Immortal,' that 'Master of the Taiyi Dao,' finally... emerged from seclusion?!"

In an instant, countless powerful divine thoughts were projected from every corner of the star sea toward the Tianxu Star Domain!

There was curiosity, awe, apprehension, and also... a hint of hostility hidden deep within.

Su Chen stood atop the Taiyi Palace, his indifferent gaze seemingly piercing through endless time and space, silently meeting the powerful divine thoughts projected towards him in the void.

The masters of those divine thoughts were all shaken the moment they met Su Chen's gaze, which seemed to contain a complete universe!

They felt as if they were being gazed upon by a true "Heavenly Dao"!

All my secrets and thoughts were laid bare before those eyes!

"Humph!"

Several ancient divine senses, confident in their profound cultivation and even having entered the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, attempted to probe Su Chen's true strength from the opposite perspective.

However, the moment their divine senses approached the Heavenly Void Starfield, they were instantly vaporized and purified by an invisible and even more domineering domain of "Dao," just like ice and snow thrown into lava!
"puff!"

In various parts of the starry sea, several muffled groans were heard simultaneously from several secluded Taoist temples!

"What an overbearing 'way'!"

"His cultivation level... has actually stabilized to such an extent?!"

"We cannot defeat him by force! This person is not yet a Golden Immortal, but he is at least equivalent to the middle stage of a Golden Immortal. He is beyond our comprehension!"

Those newly promoted Grand Luo experts were horrified and quickly withdrew their divine senses, no longer daring to have the slightest intention to spy.

Through this experience, they finally realized something profound.

This Master Taiyi, with his terrifying reputation, is truly extraordinary!
Su Chen ignored the divine thoughts that he had startled away.

His gaze slowly swept over this vast sea of ​​stars, which he had been away from for ten thousand years.

He could clearly sense that this universe had changed.

The laws governing the universe have become more active and clear.

The concentration of spiritual energy is several times higher than it was ten thousand years ago.

In various parts of the Star Sea, he also sensed no fewer than ten auras, no less powerful than those of the late-stage Golden Immortal Linglong Golden Immortal back then.

"It seems that after Zuo Qingcang's corruption was weakened, this is the true appearance of the vast star sea."

……

……

On this day, Su Chen returned to the main hall and met with the Golden Light Ancient Immortal.

“Jin Guang,” Su Chen’s gaze fell on Jin Guang Ancient Immortal, “what is the current situation in the Star Sea?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Guang Gu Xian's expression turned solemn, and he quickly gave Su Chen a concise report on the changes in the star sea's structure over the past ten thousand years.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, since you intervened ten thousand years ago and suppressed that corrupt sun, the Star Sea has ushered in an unprecedented golden age of cultivation."

"The laws of heaven and earth are reviving, and the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly abundant."

"Over the past ten thousand years, countless new Xuanxian and Zhenxian have been promoted. Even..."

The voice of the Golden Light Ancient Immortal carried a hint of solemnity, "Just three thousand years ago, in the Chaotic Star Domain, a Buddhist domain broke free from its seal in the void, and within it was nurtured an 'Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp,' who sat in meditation under the Bodhi tree for nine thousand years. Finally, he broke through the last shred of illusion, gathered the power of countless faiths from the star sea, and successfully ignited the Golden Immortal Dao Flame, becoming the first truly newly promoted Golden Immortal powerhouse in this era!"

"I've heard that this Dipankara Buddha is an extremely powerful being in the second realm, far surpassing the normal number one on the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking. He was born in the Fifth Era, but his Buddhist path was weak. He sealed himself away to await a change in the heavens! That's how he awoke."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

He never expected that in just ten thousand years, someone in the Star Sea would actually be able to break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

It seems that suppressing the "source of the Dao's corruption" and restoring the clarity of the Dao has had a more profound impact than he had anticipated.

"not only that."

Jin Guang Gu Xian continued, "The God Clan is also making a big move."

"Although they contracted their defenses eight thousand years ago, their foundation remains unfathomable. According to reliable sources, the three major clans of the gods have given birth to a total of nineteen new Ancient God-Kings in the past ten thousand years!"

"And their reclusive 'Northern Emperor God King' also officially emerged from seclusion five thousand years ago, traversing the starry sea. His divine might is said to be no less than that of those ancient Golden Immortals who have been famous for a long time."

What is an ancient Golden Immortal? At the very least, it is a top-tier Golden Immortal in the mid-stage.

Even the late-stage Golden Immortal.

Those who have reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm are those who have surpassed ordinary late-stage Golden Immortals and are also known as giants among immortals!
Su Chen had also heard of the Northern Emperor God King.

During the era of the gods, he killed one of the four great god-kings, the Eastern God-King. This Northern God-King was exceptionally talented and was the only one who stepped into the realm of the supreme god before the corruption.

But that was the end of it.

now.

Everything changed, and things returned to normal.

This Northern Emperor God-King has begun to ascend at an alarming rate.

He is at least at the mid-stage of the Supreme God Realm.

"He is indeed an opponent worth remembering."

"of course."

"He is no match for me."

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

Even when he was still a Taiyi Celestial Immortal, he could already subtly overwhelm a mid-stage Golden Immortal. Not to mention, although he is still at that level now, his level of comprehension is already extraordinary. Now, only a true late-stage Golden Immortal would be able to make him wary.

"more importantly……"

Jin Guang Gu Xian was still narrating.

A deep worry appeared on his face. "As the power of corruption weakens, those Golden Immortal Alliance members who have been living in seclusion since ancient times will..."

"Such as Xuan Yuan Golden Immortal and Lu Jue Golden Immortal, they also ended their slumber and reappeared in the world."

"They either founded their own sects or formed alliances, constantly dividing up spheres of influence and stirring up the winds and clouds in the Star Sea. The Star Sea today appears prosperous, but in reality, it is turbulent and is no longer the same as it was ten thousand years ago."

"In today's vast starry sea, Golden Immortals are emerging frequently, and Supreme Gods are walking among the people. It has become a truly magnificent era. Everyone says that this is the most glorious era since the beginning of the Divine Path."

Su Chen listened quietly, his expression unchanged.

Golden Immortal? Supreme God?

These beings, who were once revered by countless cultivators ten thousand years ago, are now no different from ants in his eyes.

His ten thousand years of seclusion had long since allowed his vision to transcend that level.

Once he embarks on the path to becoming a "Taiyi Golden Immortal"!
These golden immortals are nothing but ants.

This path is unique, transcending the existing great principles of this universe.

not to mention.

Although he is no longer a Golden Immortal, he is now the only "Dao Lord" in this universe.

"I see."

Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried a reassuring power: "A storm is brewing, and it is the time for the great waves to sift out the weak."

"My Taiyi Palace has nothing to fear from any challenge."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over all the high-ranking officials in the hall. An invisible aura of authority caused everyone to involuntarily hold their breath.

"Transmit my decree."

"From this day forward, Taiyi Palace will no longer be closed off. In the five major star regions of East, West, South, North, and Central, one 'Taiyi Dao Platform' will be established."

"All living beings in our starry sea, regardless of their origin or race, may ascend the stage to preach, discuss doctrines, and engage in magical duels."

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one has vanished. My Taiyi Palace will seek out that 'vanished one' for this sea of ​​stars, and create an unprecedented glorious era of the Great Dao's contention!"

"This is the first decree of Taiyi!"

boom!
This decree, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the minds of every high-ranking member of the Taiyi Palace!

Everyone was stunned!

They originally thought that when the Dao Lord emerged from seclusion, he would surely sweep across all directions with thunderous methods and establish the supreme hegemony of Taiyi Palace.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen's first decree was not about conquest, but rather... a discussion of the Dao?
Establish the "Taiyi Dao Platform" throughout the entire star sea, so that all races can discuss the Dao.
What a spirit! What confidence!
This is no longer a contest with a single power, but a struggle with the entire era, with all the newly emerging powerhouses and ancient beings... for the right to speak on the Great Dao! He wants to lead the entire era forward with his own strength!
Jin Guang Gu Xian was the first to react. His aged body trembled slightly with excitement: "My lord... this action will surely shake the entire star sea!"

"Those newly promoted Golden Immortals, the ancient ones, and the Supreme God-Kings will probably make a move against us..."

Jin Guang Gu Xian was deeply worried.

At his peak, he was a Golden Immortal, but only at the initial stage of Golden Immortal.

Even he felt his scalp tingle when faced with the approaching third-realm expert.

"It's alright." Su Chen waved his hand gently, interrupting him. "If they come, let them come. This 'Great Dao Contention' is about fighting for that sliver of life, that wisp of fortune."

“If they want to fight, they should fight me according to their own ‘way’.”

"My Taiyi Palace will accompany you to the end."

"Issue my second decree!" Su Chen's voice rang out again, authoritative and solemn.

"Anyone who excels in discussing the Dao or displays prowess in combat on the 'Taiyi Dao Platform' will receive my 'Taiyi Dao Seal'. With this seal, one can enter my Taiyi Immortal City and meditate before the 'Taiyi Dao Stele' for three months!"

"If someone can comprehend the true meaning of my Taiyi Great Dao, I will make an exception and accept them as my personal disciple. I will personally bestow upon them the initiation and help them achieve and comprehend the Xuanyu Immortal Intent and the Taiyi Immortal Intent!"

Wow——!
The issuance of this decree caused an uproar in the main hall!

Personally bestowing the blessing!

Mysterious Jade Immortal Intent! Taiyi Immortal Intent!
For any cultivator struggling at the True Immortal realm in the Star Sea, this is an unparalleled temptation to ascend to the heavens in one step!

Everyone understood that once these two decrees were issued, the entire vast starry sea would be in complete uproar! Taiyi Palace would once again become the focus of the entire universe!
"Go." Su Chen's gaze became deep and far-reaching. "A new era has begun. Whether we are dragons or worms, we shall see today."

"We humbly obey the decree of the Dao Master!"

Jin Guang Gu Xian, leading all the high-ranking officials, bowed and accepted the order.

at the same time.

As soon as the decree of the Taiyi Dao Master was issued, it quickly spread throughout the five major star regions.

This was like a thunderbolt piercing through the eternal darkness, spreading instantly to every corner of the vast starry sea at a speed that surpassed the speed of light and even the speed of divine thought.

In an instant, the entire star sea, whether it was the bustling Central Divine Court or the remote and desolate star field, whether it was the ancient Daoist lineage that had never left the world or the newly emerging forces, was completely in an uproar!

Bao Huangtian was in an uproar.

"Have you heard? The Dao Master of Taiyi Palace has finally emerged from seclusion after ten thousand years!"

"It's more than just emerging from seclusion! He issued two unprecedented decrees! He intends to establish the 'Taiyi Dao Platform' in the five major star regions, inviting all races to discuss the Dao!"

"The Great Dao contends?! What a spirit! Is he going to challenge the strongest of the entire era with his own strength?"

"Even more insane is the second decree! As long as one can stand out on the Dao Platform, there is a chance to receive personal initiation from that Dao Lord and be helped to become a Xuan Yu Immortal! Heavens! This is a Xuan Yu Immortal! An unparalleled opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step!"

Countless rogue cultivators and cultivators from small and medium-sized forces who were struggling at the bottom and suffering from a lack of connections and resources turned red the moment they heard this news!

Like sharks that have smelled blood, they surged from all directions of the starry sea toward the central star region closest to Taiyi Palace. Their scale was even greater than the "Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage" ten thousand years ago!

However, at the top of the Star Sea, the newly promoted Golden Immortals, the ancient God Kings, and the leaders of various forces reacted very differently upon receiving this news.

Golden Immortal Alliance.

The atmosphere inside that magnificent dojo, suspended in an unknown dimension and crafted from celestial jade from the Nine Heavens, was extremely solemn.

Xuan Yuan Jin Xian sat upright in the main seat, his usually calm and composed face now clouded with gloom.

"Fellow Daoists, I presume... you have all received the message."

His voice was deep and hoarse.

"Hmph! What a grand scheme by the Daoist Master Taiyi!"

The Golden Immortal of Slaughter, whose body was covered in violent sword energy, was the first to slam his fist on the table and stand up, angrily saying, "Ten thousand years ago, he sealed his mountain for ten thousand years. We all thought something had happened to him and that he was up to some scheme."

"I never expected that he would cause such a commotion as soon as he emerged from seclusion! Setting up a Daoist platform and inviting everyone to discuss the Dao? Where does he place us old fogies who have been famous for so long?!" (End of Chapter)
