Living in the deep palace

As Su Chen made his move, the aura of the ancient insect immortal within the alchemy furnace continued to rise, and the life status of the strange beast underwent a transformation.

The strange beast rules and Dao traces within his body are constantly transforming into immortal Dao traces.

His aura of immortality began to rise!
What a fairy!

A celestial aura of seven-colored glazed glass surged forth.

A nascent form, resembling a white silkworm, appeared; this was the true immortal fruit that the ancient insect immortal transformed into an immortal being.

Followed by.

It was the power of celestial immortals and earth immortals that surged from the Taiyi Universe within Su Chen's body and were jointly injected into this True Immortal Dao Fruit!

Rumble!
One day passed.

Two days passed.

……

In the Taiyi Universe, a year has passed.

Rumble!
Xuan Yu Immortal, accomplished!
"With the foundation of a top-tier True Immortal Dao Fruit, plus the basics of a Profound Jade Immortal, I can now act freely."

"If possible."

"Wuxin Xian and Jinguang Xian can also be promoted."

"The Ancient Insect Immortal can only consume up to 70% of the essence of these two immortal giants; we can't afford to waste it..."

"Creating a Golden Immortal!"

"Tsk, tsk."

"Such methods are probably unique in the entire star system."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

Followed by.

He continued to make moves.

At this moment, less than an hour had passed in the Taiyi Dao Palace, but in his inner world—the Taiyi Universe—a hundred years had already passed.

After being tempered, the Ancient Insect Immortal had already reached the pinnacle of the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking, the half-step Golden Immortal...
"The foundation is solid."

"Let's begin to merge the Dao of the two Golden Immortals."

Within the body of the Ancient Insect Immortal, the foundation of immortality had already reached perfection.

Only one step remains to ignite the "Golden Immortal" fire and condense the "Golden Immortal" Dao Fruit!

But this final step, like an insurmountable chasm, firmly blocked it from entering.

Because of it, one of the most crucial things is missing.

An "immortal body" capable of bearing the Dao fruit of a "Golden Immortal"!
The fruit of the Way is the fruit of the Way!
A celestial body is a celestial body!
The most important thing contained within the immortal body is the immortal aperture world!
The Dao Fruit is one, the Immortal Aperture is two.

Only those who possess both can be considered immortals!

Now that the Ancient Insect Immortal has reached the Immortal Realm, all that's missing is an Immortal Body.

"Are you going to fail?"

Ancient Insect Immortal sensed it in his mind; he was just one step away, but that one final step was what was holding him back.

really.

Even if a mythical beast possesses the essence of a Golden Immortal, its chances of transforming into a true Golden Immortal are slim, with only one in nine deaths.

"Ugh."

"Failure is nothing to be ashamed of."

"After all, this is a legendary Golden Immortal giant!"

"It's just a waste of these two sources."

"However, being able to become a powerful being at the Xuan Yu Immortal Ranking level, a half-step Golden Immortal, is not bad for me."

The ancient insect fairy is thinking about it.

Just as he was about to accept this reality.

hum!
Su Chen spoke.

"Ancient insects."

"It can't fail."

At this moment, a calm yet seemingly profound voice, containing the ultimate truths of the universe, resounded gently in its sea of ​​consciousness.

"Buzz!"

In the Taiyi Universe, nestled among the stars, the massive, mountain-like body of the Ancient Insect Immortal suddenly trembled!
"Master... Master?!"

The Ancient Insect Fairy was overjoyed!
Could Su Chen truly possess a means to help him overcome this insurmountable barrier and achieve Golden Immortal status?

"You have followed me for ten thousand years."

"Today, I will fulfill my promise and grant you the fortune of a Golden Immortal."

Su Chen's voice rang out again.

The words have not yet fallen.

Ancient Insect Immortal felt that time and space were changing before his eyes.

The next instant, its enormous body left the Taiyi Universe within Su Chen's body and appeared in the Longevity Palace in the vast star sea!
Before it, a handsome young man dressed in simple white clothes, who looked no different from an ordinary person, sat cross-legged.

Although, the other party did not reveal the slightest trace of their aura.

However, the moment the Ancient Insect Immortal saw him, it was as if he saw the entire vast starry sea, with countless worlds surging!

I saw it, that supreme "Heaven" that governs all things!
Its Dao heart, which had long been as firm as a rock, began to tremble violently and uncontrollably at this moment!

That was an absolute crushing force originating from the very essence of life!
The status of those who reach the summit!

Its supreme status is so great that even a Great Luo Immortal, who is also at the fourth realm, would be crushed before it.

"thump!"

The Ancient Insect Immortal bowed down without hesitation!

He was trembling all over.

What merit or ability do I possess!

It was nothing more than a small, wondrous beast. What merit did it possess to receive such a blessing from a new era's ascension to the top?

"Ancient insect, thank you, Heavenly Venerable!"

It no longer dared to call itself "master".

Because it knows that Su Chen is now an unparalleled being who has surpassed all life in the starry sea!

Only the title "Celestial Venerable" can describe even a fraction of it!

"Get up."

Su Chen calmly raised his hand.

"After you achieve the Golden Immortal realm, would you be willing to enter my 'Taiyi Dao Palace'?"

Su Chen asked directly.

If the Ancient Insect Immortal succeeds, he will inevitably become a giant among immortals, or even a Great Luo Immortal of the Fourth Realm.

How could he possibly let such a life go?

Naturally, it should be brought under our control.

That is, within his Taiyi Dao Palace!
"Yes! This disciple is more than willing!"

Gu Chongxian nodded frantically, almost without thinking!
Achieve the Golden Immortal status!

Join the Taiyi Dao Palace!

It knew that this was absolutely the greatest opportunity of its life!

"it is good."

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

immediately.

He finally moved.

He no longer spoke of magic, nor did he display any supernatural powers. He simply slowly raised his right hand.

Then, he gently reached out and grabbed at the empty void outside the Taiyi Dao Palace!
It's just this simple grab!
Rumble—!!! ...

The entire vast starry sea trembled violently at this moment!
Countless cultivators who were in seclusion suddenly opened their eyes, staring in horror at the unknown place from which the tremors were coming!
They could clearly feel that the most fundamental "Great Dao" law that constitutes the entire universe was being forcibly pulled out by a supreme will at this moment!

……

……

Golden Immortal Alliance.

Those three newly promoted Golden Immortals in the past three hundred years simultaneously soared into the sky from their respective Daoist temples!

Their faces were filled with utter horror!

"What...what's going on?!"

"Who is it that is shaking the very foundations of the universe?!"

"This aura... it's the Taiyi Dao Master?!"

"What...what is he trying to do?!"

…… ……

Inside the Hall of Longevity.

The ancient insect fairy was completely stunned by the scene before it, which was enough to overturn all its understanding!
What did it see?
It saw that with Su Chen's seemingly casual grab...

Countless "innate" things that it had only seen in the most ancient books were forcibly extracted from the vast river of the "Great Dao" like rivers flowing into the sea!
A wisp of light that seemed to represent the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe... the "Ancient Primordial Immortal Light"!
A wisp of "mysterious purple energy" that seemed to represent the first glimmer of "life" in the "chaos"!
A piece of "Mysterious Yellow Mother Gold" that seems to bear the "weight" of an entire world!
A single drop of the essence of "Netherworld Soil" seems capable of nourishing all things and restoring "death" to "prosperity"!
……

……

Any one of these would be enough to drive even Golden Immortals crazy, and they would even wage war to fight for these divine objects!
At this moment, it was as if Su Chen were "scooping" it out from the origin of the "Great Dao" like a cheap roadside pebble!

At this moment, the Ancient Insect Immortal finally truly understood what terrifying power the words "Heavenly Dao" represented!

Those who reach the summit are the embodiment of Heaven's will!

The true master of the vast starry sea!

All life, even the mighty Golden Immortal, is as insignificant as an ant.

That's not power!
That is the most fundamental "control" over everything in the entire universe!
As long as Su Chen is willing.

He could even drain all the "Great Dao" origins of this universe and then recreate a completely new... universe!
"Congeal!"

Su Chen uttered a single word softly.

Buzz—! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

In an instant!
Those tens of thousands of "innate" divine objects that he forcibly extracted from the origin of the "Great Dao" began to frantically... fuse as if they had received the most precise instructions!
With so many innate divine objects, they began to create a body for the ancient insect immortal!
With the Great Dao of two Immortal Giants superimposed, this will be an unprecedentedly powerful foundation, enough to allow the Ancient Insect Immortal to continuously climb upwards.

……

……

Under the personal "manipulation" of Su Chen, the "Heavenly Dao," a perfect, almost flawless innate Dao body rapidly took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye!
That "Dao body" is not a "human" form in the traditional sense.

It is more like an ancient immortal insect, forged from the most brilliant immortal gold, with twelve pairs of "cicada wings" on its back, seemingly formed from the Milky Way, and two ferocious tentacles on its head, like the horns of a "true dragon"!
The "Taoist aura" emanating from it was so ancient and powerful! It was as if it shouldn't have been born in this "post-natal" era!

Instead, it should have been born before the First Era, in an era when the rulers of the universe, the beings of the Fifth Realm, were still alive.

"go."

Su Chen flicked his finger.

The "Golden Immortal Seed," which had already been refined, transformed into a stream of light and silently merged into the brow of the innate immortal insect body!
boom--!!!!!!!!!!!!

The moment when the "Tao Seed" and the "Immortal Body" completely merge!
An extremely terrifying pressure, unique to "Golden Immortals," suddenly erupted from that brand-new body!
The flames of the Golden Immortal burned.

In an instant.

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire Taiyi Dao Palace!
Even more so, it would penetrate the barrier of the Taiyi Dao Palace and proclaim it throughout the vast starry sea!
"Certainly."

Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

He uttered another word.

Follow your words!
The overwhelming pressure of the "Golden Immortal" that should have shaken the entire universe was confined within the area of ​​the Hall of Longevity by an even more supreme "Heavenly Dao" will!

Not a single detail can be leaked!

"This...this is...me?"

The ancient insect immortal's immense will was now somewhat bewildered as it sensed this brand-new, powerful body that even it found unfamiliar.

It can sense it clearly.

I feel so perfectly at home with this body!
It's as if it was born to be this way!

It can be easily grasped.

He felt as if he could easily crush a whole world!
It had a sudden thought.

I felt as if I could travel through any dimension of time and space and ignore any laws or barriers!

This unprecedentedly powerful feeling made its Dao heart, which had been dormant for countless years, unable to resist the urge to roar to the sky!

His physical body alone can shake ordinary Golden Immortals!

His Dao Fruit contains two terrifying Great Daos, which enable him to transcend realms and kill even more powerful Golden Immortals.

Even though he is currently just an ordinary Golden Immortal at the beginning stage, standing at the starting point of the Golden Immortal path, he feels that even a Golden Immortal at the later stage would not be able to take his life.

too strong!
Ancient Insect Immortal, who thought he could become an ordinary Golden Immortal and would be unable to make any further progress, was content with that.

However, this body is too powerful.

To know.

Those legendary beasts who survived countless near-death experiences transformed into Golden Immortals were merely ordinary Golden Immortals with no potential whatsoever.

He rose to prominence almost overnight, possessing formidable combat power and limitless potential.

"Don't worry."

"it's not finished yet."

Su Chen's calm voice rang out again.

"The path to becoming a Golden Immortal has only just begun."

"Next, there is one last step."

"It is also the most crucial step."

"What?" Ancient Insect Immortal was taken aback.

"Overcoming the tribulation."

Su Chen slowly uttered two words.

"Tribulation?!"

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Insect Immortal was first startled, but then its will was filled with unparalleled confidence!
"Rest assured, Heavenly Venerable!"

"This immortal body of mine was personally forged by the Heavenly Venerable using countless divine artifacts. Its sturdiness has long surpassed the realm of ordinary Golden Immortals!"

"What is there for this disciple to fear from a mere Golden Immortal tribulation?!"

It is full of confidence!

however.

Su Chen shook his head.

His chaotic eyes stared at the confident Ancient Insect Immortal, as if he were looking at an innocent child.

"you are wrong."

“You are naturally not afraid of ordinary ‘Golden Immortal Tribulations’.”

"but……"

“Your 'calamity' is no ordinary one.”

"Because your 'Tao' is inherited from me."

"Your 'fruit' was also bestowed by me, and your body is a fusion of many divine objects. Everything has a price."

"so……"

Su Chen's lips slowly curved into a meaningful smile.

"Your 'calamity' should also be brought down by me, the Heavenly Dao of this Star Sea."

"This calamity is incomparable to ordinary calamities."

"One wrong move and you will be reduced to ashes."

The ancient insect immortal's immense will trembled violently!
A terrifying force originating from the depths of its soul instantly swept over its entire body!
Did...did you hear that right?

A calamity befalling the Heavenly Dao!

There are three types of tribulations for Golden Immortals: Human Tribulation, Earth Tribulation, and Heaven Tribulation.

Human calamity means that when an enemy comes to kill you, someone else will stop you!

Earthly Calamity is a disaster that arises out of nowhere, harming blessed lands and grotto-heavens, causing them to fail at the last moment!
The Heavenly Tribulation is an annihilating calamity descended from the sea of ​​stars.

But above these three tribulations, there is one more tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation, which is even more terrifying than the simultaneous occurrence of the three tribulations.

He had only seen a few of them in classical texts.

Those who can survive the three tribulations simultaneously have the potential to achieve the Golden Immortal realm and become a giant among immortals; those who can overcome the tribulations of the Heavenly Dao have the potential to ascend to even greater heights.

This... is a calamity of Heaven!
Does it deserve it?

Looking at the ancient insect fairy, who was trembling with fear, her body shaking.

Su Chen smiled slightly.

"rest assured."

"I know what I'm doing."

"This ordeal is both a 'test' for you and a 'trial' for you."

"If you can withstand my 'Heavenly Tribulation Lightning' for ten breaths."

"Then your 'Golden Immortal' Dao Fruit will be completely stable and flawless."

"If you can't hold on..."

Su Chen paused, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the terrifying immortal body of the Ancient Insect Immortal.

"That only proves that you are not worthy of the body I created for you."

"still……"

"It's good that it's all gone." (End of Chapter)
