Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 761: The Immortal Palace is Born

Half a month later, Xiao Qi finished refining the flying shuttle magic weapon and left the black and white world on time.

He came and went in a hurry, but he enjoyed it.

The autumn wind is blowing, cranes are flying across the sky, and the sky is filled with cold white.

As the saying goes, the mountain clouds are filled with green, and there are thousands of layers of light green and deep blue.

Such a beautiful land, I wonder how long it will be peaceful...

……

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. Xiao Qi continued all the way and finally arrived at the East China Sea.

His journey was not peaceful. Half of the people he met were Taoist cultivators and half were demons. The Taoists would not step forward to stop him, but the demon cultivators did not have so many concerns.

Seeing that he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, it was really difficult to stop him from attacking.

If it weren't for his profound background and the flying shuttle magic weapon given by Chen Mu, it would have been difficult for him to escape.

But generally speaking, they arrived safely in the East China Sea without any danger.

Just as Han Kong said, compared with Zhongzhou, the East China Sea is much more stable and peaceful. No wonder it is called a place of peace and tranquility.

Of course, stability and peace does not mean that there are no traces of demonic cultivators in the East China Sea. On the contrary, they are extremely common.

However, they were not as rampant as the evil cultivators from Central China, but were surprisingly calm. If it weren't for the lingering evil aura on their bodies, Xiao Qi would have thought they were native cultivators from the East China Sea.

"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."

He understood this principle, so he didn't show it on the surface, but secretly he increased his vigilance and continued to advance towards the Huanyue Sea...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sky was gloomy and depressing, it was raining heavily, and the endless sea was covered with ripples from the falling rain.

Xiao Qi was continuing on his journey regardless of wind and rain, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

The escaping light suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look far to the northeast.

Between the sea and the sky, a ray of clear light appeared from below to above, instantly piercing through the endless dark clouds. No drop of rain could escape from the sky, causing thousands of rays of light to illuminate half the sky!
The momentum was so great that even Xiao Qi, who was 100,000 miles away, was moved by it.

"This is……"

Xiao Qi was puzzled at first, but then suddenly realized what was going on. His eyes sparkled as he said, "It's the Penglai Palace!"

"Master is right, the Celestial Palace has truly been born."

As soon as he thought about it, his golden elixir demon consciousness was fully deployed, and every move within a thousand miles was taken in.

Countless figures rushed towards the clear light, with different expressions. Some were confused and followed the crowd, while others were ecstatic as if they knew some details about the fairy palace.

He looked carefully and found that most of them were demon cultivators.

"The previous peace and tranquility was only the calm before the storm..."

Xiao Qi shook his head and sighed, then without stopping, continued to flee in the original direction.

When the Immortal Palace was born, few people could get their hands on it.

There are a total of 365 tokens, and some of them have been lost. It can be seen that there are only about 300 people at most who can truly enter the Immortal Palace to seek opportunities.

So even if you rush there as quickly as possible, without a token, you can only wander in front of the palace gate without entering...

……

Huanyue Sea, Huanyue Palace.

In the main hall, Liu Tingnan and Taoist Chonggu sat at the top seats, with elders sitting on both sides, looking at the person below with different expressions as he reported.

"Elder Sun, what you just said about the Immortal Palace...did you see it with your own eyes?"

Liu Tingnan frowned slightly and asked softly.

Elder Sun, a burly figure with a gruff voice, replied, "Palace Master, I saw the Immortal Palace with my own eyes. At that moment, a thousand rays of light shone, and an ancient, vast palace appeared out of thin air. The Divine Sky Crimson Palace was majestic and magnificent, and it was no illusion."

"Furthermore, not long after the Immortal Palace was born, many powerful fluctuations surged from all directions, including traces of demonic forces. I was afraid of changes, so I hurried back to the palace to report."

Liu Tingnan nodded slowly upon hearing this and murmured, "It seems that the Penglai Fairy Palace has indeed appeared..."

"Penglai Palace?"

Some elders who had no access to this rumor became suspicious and began to ask around.

"Silence!"

Seeing the commotion in the room, Taoist Chonggu frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

"Junior Brother Liu, Penglai Palace is the top opportunity in the East China Sea. In the past, my Huanyue Palace was isolated and not strong enough to compete with the heroes of the East China Sea, but..."

Having said this, he paused, coughed lightly, and whispered, "But now, my Huanyue Palace is thriving. We already have two Nascent Soul cultivators within our sect. Although their strength may not be the strongest, they should not be underestimated."

"In my opinion, we might be able to obtain a fairy palace token. Then, whether you or I enter the fairy palace, it will add a lot of heritage to our sect..."

Liu Tingnan smiled slightly. Although he was also tempted, he also knew the difficulty of this matter.

"Master, you're oversimplifying. Most of the Immortal Palace tokens are in the hands of famous families. How can we obtain them?"

Taoist Chonggu remained expressionless and continued, "Could it be that my nephew has forgotten... the Xiao family of Mianshui?"

"Oh?"

Liu Tingnan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Does the Xiao family have the Immortal Palace token?"

The Xiao family of Mianshui is a famous Taoist family near the sea. There are also Nascent Soul cultivators in the family, but they have not been very prominent in recent years. There are rumors that the ancestor of the Xiao family is nearing the end of his life and is no longer able to fight a real battle.

"Master, don't you know that the Xiao family was once very powerful and dominated several sea areas?"

Taoist Chonggu laughed mysteriously and said, "Besides, a few years ago, when I was having a banquet with my friends, I happened to learn that Taoist Xiao was in seclusion, practicing secret techniques, and seemed to be preparing something."

"At first, I didn't understand why. Now it seems that it's because of this trip to Penglai Palace. He wants to risk his life to prolong the life of the Xiao family..."

Liu Tingnan was delighted and shook his head, saying, "If it's really as Uncle-Master said, then the Xiao family will definitely do their utmost to protect the token. How could they give it up so easily?"

Taoist Chonggu frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. "Whether to yield or not isn't determined by exerting all one's strength. With the power of Huanyue Palace exerting pressure, how can we worry that he won't yield?"

Liu Tingnan still shook his head: "Even if the Xiao family really gave in, it would also bring hatred upon my Huanyue Palace. During this time of turmoil, a single mistake could lead to a complete loss. Uncle-master is being too reckless."

"It is precisely because the devil's calamity is approaching that we must seize this opportunity. If we just hold on, how can we survive the devil's calamity?"

Taoist Chonggu stood up and shouted, his eyes filled with anger: "Could it be that my nephew really put the safety of our sect in the hands of an outsider?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent, and many people looked at an ordinary-looking Jindan elder wearing a green robe.

This person was Han Kong, whose face was as dark as dark water and extremely ugly.

Liu Tingnan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped her, "Master, your words are biased. Senior Lingyuan is a guest ancestor of the palace, how can he be an outsider?"

Taoist Chonggu snorted and sneered, "My nephew has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, yet you still address me as your senior. How respectful! It's really great that you are in charge of my Huanyue Palace..."

Seeing that he was becoming more and more presumptuous, Liu Tingnan raised his eyebrows and shouted coldly: "Uncle Chonggu!"

Taoist Chonggu's tone paused and he looked over subconsciously.

Liu Tingnan spoke word by word, "I am the Palace Master of Huanyue Palace!"

Taoist Chonggu froze in place, his eyes twitching, his lips hesitant to speak, his face flushed crimson. Ultimately, he snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves, and strode away. Just as Liu Tingnan had said, now that he had achieved Nascent Soul status and was the legitimate leader of the Huanyue Palace, he could no longer be manipulated by him as usual...

The hall grew increasingly silent. Liu Tingnan watched for a moment, then felt a headache. He sighed inwardly and waved his hand, saying, "Elder Sun, please leave first. The matter of the Immortal Palace has nothing to do with us. Please do not get involved."

Elder Sun immediately bowed and withdrew, and the others also stood up, bowed their heads and said goodbye.

Han Kong was angry, both because of Taoist Chonggu and because of his own incompetence.

"If I could form a Nascent Soul, would Chong Gu dare to be so presumptuous?!"

He sighed deeply, stood up and took his leave.

"Elder Han, please stay for a while."

Han Kong looked up and saw Liu Tingnan nodded at him.

He was moved and stopped for a moment.

Before long, there was no one else in the hall except the two of them, and there was a beautiful woman in a white dress.

"Junior Sister Li." Han Kong smiled slightly and greeted her.

The beautiful woman seemed quite shy, her little face suddenly turned almost half red, and she nodded gently.

"Ha ha……"

Liu Tingnan nodded and smiled upon seeing this, and the coldness he had just felt when confronting Taoist Chonggu instantly disappeared.

"Elder Han, we cultivators have few desires, and mutual affection is extremely rare. Since you and Junior Sister Li are so compatible, why don't you become Taoist companions and walk hand in hand?"

Han Kong was stunned. He thought that he was called to downplay the farce, but he didn't expect that this matter would be brought up.

He shook his head and smiled, saying, "It's not that I don't want to, but such a major matter should be reported to my mentor first."

Liu Tingnan nodded lightly: "It should be so, it should be so..."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "Senior Lingyuan, have you received any reply recently?"

Han Kong shook his head and said rather disappointedly, "I don't know why, but my mentor hasn't replied to my letters for nearly ten years."

Liu Tingnan smiled unconsciously and said comfortingly, "Senior Lingyuan has become the Palace Master of the Black and White Supreme Palace, and his reputation has spread far and wide. Coincidentally, the demonic calamity is approaching, so it is inevitable that he will have to practice in seclusion and wait for the right time. Elder Han, please don't overthink it."

When Chen Mu first came to Huanyue Palace, he had not yet participated in the sword fighting event, so he was not well-known. She still regarded him as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

But as time went by, the news of Beiyuan Chen Mu's victory spread throughout the East China Sea, and she realized that the person who had accepted the guest position in the first place was so talented.

Naturally, she would do everything she could to protect such a promising guest ancestor, which was why she wanted to arrange a marriage for Han Kong.

In her opinion, Han Kong is upright and steady in character. Sooner or later, he will be accepted as Chen Mu's disciple. Letting him and Junior Sister Li become Taoist partners would be a closer relationship, wouldn't it?

For the sake of his disciples, Chen Mu would probably also pay more attention to Huanyue Palace...

Han Kong nodded: "Thank you for your comfort, Palace Master."

After finishing this, the three chatted about some palace affairs. They were talking and laughing, having a good time, when a voice came from outside: "Elder Han is here, there are guests visiting outside the mountain gate."

Han Kong couldn't help but frown. He had always been practicing in his master's sect and didn't have many friends. Even fewer had friends from outside. How could there be a guest visiting suddenly?

He was curious, but he did not forget to look up and bow to Liu Tingnan and take his leave: "Palace Master, then I will..."

Liu Tingnan didn't notice anything else and smiled slightly, saying, "Elder Han, please do as you please."

Han Kong nodded to Junior Sister Li again, then turned and walked out of the hall.

A Taoist boy saluted outside the door. He was moved and asked, "Could you please tell me your origins?"

The Taoist boy did not dare to hesitate and quickly replied, "That man called himself Han Yang and said he came from Zhongzhou."

"Han Yang..."

Han Kong first recalled the man's name, and when he heard the word Zhongzhou at the end, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be?"

"Lead the way quickly!"

The Taoist boy immediately turned around and left first, with Han Kong following closely behind.

Inside the hall, Liu Tingnan heard the noise and her heart also trembled. After her beautiful eyes turned around, she took light steps and followed.

After a while, he arrived outside the door. Han Kong looked from afar and saw a white-robed demon cultivator standing calmly. He had a graceful demeanor and outstanding aura. It was obvious that he had a deep foundation and was not a casual cultivator.

He stepped forward to greet him, showing no pride at all due to his higher realm.

"But Fellow Daoist Han Yang?"

Xiao Qi smiled slightly and said, "I am Han Yang. Are you the master's registered disciple?"

Hearing this, Han Kong immediately understood Han Yang's identity: "So he is the spirit beast under my master's command..."

His expression straightened, and he bowed and said, "Disciple Han Kong, greetings to Brother Han Yang."

Xiaoqi is not a vain person, but he accepted this gift calmly.

He came here on behalf of Chen Mu. If he was too polite, people would look down on him.

At this time, Liu Tingnan also came over, nodded and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Hanyang's energy is pure and strong. It is obvious that you are about to break through the bottleneck. It is really gratifying."

Xiao Qi looked in the direction of the voice. Although it was the first time he saw Liu Tingnan, he could guess that she was the person Chen Mu was talking about.

He bowed his head and said with a smile, "When I came here, I heard from my master that Palace Master Liu is very thoughtful and talented. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed so."

After saying this, he took something out of his sleeve and said, "This is the gift my master asked me to bring you to celebrate the birth of your baby."

"Oh?"

Liu Tingnan was overjoyed and quickly took the gift to look at it. He found that it was a rare spiritual flower with a very long history. Just by smelling it, he felt relaxed all over. It was extremely mysterious.

"Senior, you still remember me. I am truly ashamed..."

She turned towards Zhongzhou and bowed from afar.

The reason she said this was actually because when the news of Chen Mu taking over Shang Zhen came back, she was busy in seclusion seeking an opportunity to form a baby, and missed the best time to send a gift.

Even if she made up for it later, she still felt a little guilty...

"Fellow Daoist Han Yang, please come in quickly."

Liu Tingnan suppressed his thoughts and signaled to Han Kong, who immediately understood and hurriedly led Xiao Qi into the palace.

"Look, fellow Daoist! That's one of the three scenic spots in Huanyue Palace, the Moonlight Washing Silk..."

Several people walked together, and under Liu Tingnan's intention to make friends with them, they talked and laughed, and laughed continuously.

Not long after, he returned to the main hall of Huanyue.

After the host and the guests had taken their seats, Liu Tingnan had an idea. He didn't rush to ask Xiao Qi what his purpose was. Instead, he pointed at Han Kong and Junior Sister Li and said with a smile, "I wonder if Senior Lingyuan has learned anything about them?"

Seeing her mention it so suddenly, Han Kong was fine, but Junior Sister Li blushed and became extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi laughed heartily: "A talented man and a beautiful woman, what's wrong with that? Fellow Daoist Han, the master lets you make your own decision."
