Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 764: Mirage Sea Ancient Mirror
Iwakawa Sea Area.

The sea breeze is gentle and the sound of waves is faint.

The green rocks unique to this sea area are mostly submerged in water, with only the tops emerging from the water, like the back of a long dragon, stretching for thousands of miles, splitting the vast ocean into large expanses of blue waves.

On a slightly wider rock, a Qingyan flag was flying, and under the flag, there were seven or eight people scattered around.

The first man had a round face like a bronze mirror, but his eyes were narrow and long, and his helpless expression made him look very funny.

However, the local monks from the Yanchuan Sea behind him did not dare to smile at all. Instead, they all bowed their heads respectfully, as usual.

But this person's name is Liu Tianxuan, and he is the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Yanchuan Sea area...

"Ancestor Liu, these people... seem to be increasing in number..."

A man in a brown brocade robe and a crown whispered, drawing everyone's attention to the periphery of the room.

There, a steady stream of cultivators were arriving, including some from the big clans and sects in the East China Sea that they could name, and even more that they could not name.

Although their Yanchuan Sea is somewhat famous because of the existence of Liu Tianxuan, looking back over the past thousand years, when has there ever been such a grand occasion?
Almost all the accomplished people in the entire East China Sea region arrived here at this time.

"Only a banquet at the Dragon Palace can compare to this scale, right?"

"How can the two be compared? The Dragon Palace's banquet was to entertain the various Taoist sects within the East China Sea, but this time, the Immortal Palace appeared, and even some hermit masters showed up..."

"A hermit master? Humph, I'm afraid he has already fallen into the devil's way, that's why he suddenly appeared..."

"Silence!"

The man in the cap frowned and looked at the He family patriarch angrily, "There are so many experts nowadays. If you continue to speak without restraint like this, you will definitely bring disaster upon your He family. When that happens, not even Patriarch Liu will be able to save you!"

The head of the He family's face suddenly changed. He had only said it casually and had never thought of the current situation. He hurriedly bowed and apologized, lowered his head and said nothing more.

The man with the crown on his head gave up and looked around worriedly. He turned to Liu Tianxuan and asked in a low voice:

"Ancestor Liu, the Penglai Immortal Palace has descended upon our Yanchuan Sea. Although this is a great opportunity, now that all the cultivators of the East China Sea have gathered here, what should we do?"

"Do? What to do?"

Liu Tianxuan squinted his eyes and smiled, then shook his head and said, "We won't do anything. When the heroes are fighting, why would they care about what we think?"

"Let's wait and see. If I'm lucky, I might be able to snag one or two Immortal Palace tokens. When that happens, I'll personally enter the Immortal Palace, which will add some tangible value to our Yanchuan Sea Region."

Since even the only Nascent Soul cultivator said so, the man in the hat and others would naturally have no objection and agreed in unison.

But there are bound to be some regrets in their hearts.

Penglai Fairy Palace is the top opportunity in the East China Sea. This time it has fallen at their doorstep, and anyone who comes here will have some thoughts about it.

Unfortunately, the token is hard to find, and their realm is a little lower...

The sky light passed and it was afternoon.

A boat appeared silently above the Yanchuan Sea, and because of its impressive aura, it attracted the attention of many people.

Among them was a man wearing a crown.

He looked up and found that he could not identify the origin of the boat, so he subconsciously stepped forward and reported: "Ancestor Liu, it seems that another Yuanying master has arrived."

Liu Tianxuan turned his head to look over, and after taking a few glances, he couldn't help but smile: "It's not a stranger, it's Daoist Fellow Chonggu from Huanyue Palace."

"Huanyue Palace?"

The man in the hat was stunned for a moment, but he also remembered some past events. It seemed that the Taoist friend Chonggu mentioned by the ancestor had visited the ancestor more than 30 years ago, and it was he who helped to greet him at that time.

While he was thinking, Liu Tianxuan had already stood up to greet him, and seeing this, he hurried to follow.

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Chonggu, long time no see."

Liu Tianxuan laughed out loud and saluted from a distance.

Taoist Chonggu was also a little surprised and said with a bow, "I didn't expect that the Immortal Palace would appear here, Daoist Fellow Liu."

As he spoke, he introduced Liu Tingnan, "This is Fellow Daoist Liu Tianxun. Although he is a casual cultivator, he is fair and selfless. Otherwise, he wouldn't be revered as the ancestor by the Yanchuan group of cultivators."

Liu Tingnan nodded and bowed, and Han Kong and Xiao Qi also called him "Senior Liu".

Liu Tianyun's gaze fell on Liu Tingnan, his expression slightly changed as he said with envy, "Brother Dao has someone to succeed him. I'm truly envious."

Taoist Chonggu laughed and waved his hand.

The man with the crown felt a little ashamed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "This place is too eye-catching. Why don't you ask the senior Taoist friend from Huanyue Palace to stay at my place for a while?"

Liu Tian nodded and smiled, then turned sideways and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar. Since the Immortal Palace has not yet been truly opened, why not follow me and have a chat?"

Taoist Chonggu did not answer in a hurry, but raised his eyes to look at the center of the sea, where the clear light was.

The clear light spread across the area, and the fairy palace inside was magnificent and ancient, but it was still vague and not real. It seemed that it would take several days for it to be truly revealed.

He was secretly moved. After exchanging a glance with Liu Tingnan, he turned around and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Liu has invited us so kindly. We will respectfully obey your command."

Liu Tianxuan also smiled: "Please."

A moment later, the group landed on the boat next to the Qingyan flag. After the host and guest took their seats, Liu Tianxuan pondered for a moment, nodded silently, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Chonggu and Fellow Daoist Liu have come here. Do you have any ideas about the Immortal Palace?"

Taoist Chonggu smiled and nodded. "Does anyone who comes here at this time have any other reasons?"

Seeing him so frank, Liu Tianxuan was delighted. He bowed and said with a smile, "You are right, fellow Daoist. I asked unnecessary questions."

Chonggu waved his hand and asked, "Fellow Daoist Liu, the Immortal Palace has descended upon the Yanchuan Sea. I wonder if you are willing to enter the palace?"

"So what if I have the will? Aren't I still limited by the token?"

Liu Tianxuan muttered to himself, and when he saw Chonggu's expression of empathy, he couldn't help but change his tone and whispered, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I have seen the figures of several demon cultivators in the past few days."

"Oh?"

Taoist Chonggu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Liu?"

Liu Tianxuan remained calm and said in a deep voice, "The demon cultivators want to seize the Immortal Palace token. Why don't we do the opposite?"

"Master Chonggu, Fellow Daoist Liu, if the three of us work together, we should be able to seize the two tokens. And as far as I know, the demon cultivators are not from the same sect. As long as the three of us stand together, we don't have to worry about other demon cultivators coming to retaliate..."

Hearing this, Taoist Chonggu was amazed: "Fellow Daoist Liu, when we were together before, I never saw you being so bold..."

At this time in the East China Sea and even in the entire world, except for the immortal sects like Dragon Palace and the Twenty-Seven Clans of Central Continent, the remaining small sects and clans all avoided the demon cultivators like the plague, for fear of attracting the attention of the demon cultivators and thus suffering disasters that would affect the clan.

But Liu Tianxun was the one who took the initiative to confront the demon cultivator...

"Fellow Daoist, what you said this time, do you think you are afraid of the evil cultivators?" Liu Tianming narrowed his eyes and said deliberately.

Taoist Chonggu was not fooled. He picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm afraid, but the Dragon Palace has been silent for a long time. Why would I be the first to speak out and ask for trouble?"

Liu Tianxuan shook his head secretly, still unwilling to give up, "As far as I know, Huanyue Palace doesn't seem to have any token inheritance. Since you're here, could it be that you already have a goal?"

Taoist Chonggu drank the tea in his hand, poured himself another cup, and said, "It is difficult to predict the secrets of heaven. It is fate that determines everything. You will know when the time comes."

Seeing that he was evasive and unwilling to speak directly, Liu Tianxuan felt a little displeased.

But he had invited her first, and since he and Chonggu had known each other for a long time, it was hard to get estranged, so he could only keep it to himself and drank his tea in a depressed mood...

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the vast night sky, the thousands of miles of sea area of ​​Yanchuan are brightly lit.

Between the moonlight and the lights, the Penglai Palace becomes more and more eye-catching.

The surrounding air is surging with pure air, like orchids and mushrooms. Inside, there are gorgeous buildings and golden palaces, jade steps and red pillars, winding corridors and curved staircases, and ornate stele supporting the sky. It looks very solemn and magnificent.

What is even more mysterious is that the fairy palace is only ten thousand feet in size, but no matter who looks at it, they will have a sense of boundlessness.

Some knowledgeable cultivators say that this is because the Immortal Palace is a world of its own.

In other words, the Celestial Palace may look so large, but once you actually enter, it's a completely different scene...

Above the sky, in an inconspicuous spirit boat, there were two figures, one sitting and one standing. One of them wore a tall hat and a wide belt, and had a handsome yet evil appearance. At this moment, he was frowning slightly, staring at the fairy palace below.

The man standing behind him was a sixty-year-old man wearing a silk scarf and a coarse linen shirt, looking a bit out of place.

If it weren't for the Nascent Soul fluctuations coming from his body, he would probably be mistaken for a country bumpkin who knew a little about Confucian classics.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and then the handsome young man suddenly asked, "Elder Xun, have you finished your arrangements?"

Old Man Xun nodded and replied, "The Mirage Sea Ancient Mirror is ready. Once the Immortal Palace appears, it will blend into the celestial phenomena, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake."

The handsome young man felt relieved upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "The Mirage Sea Ancient Mirror was designated by the Divine Lord. Since there is no True Lord of Transformation here, there will surely be no accidents..."

Old Man Xun echoed, but he was hesitant to speak in his heart, and his expression was quite conflicted.

The handsome young man noticed something and frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Old Man Xun shook his head and said in confusion, "Envoy Yan, I just don't understand. Although there are many forces in the East China Sea, under the deliberate suppression of the Dragon Palace, they have never united, let alone united as one."

"This time, the Penglai Immortal Palace must be the same. Why did we have to go through so much trouble to obtain the Mirage Sea Ancient Mirror and even sacrifice the life of an elder to make the ancient mirror integrate into the celestial phenomena?"

The young man surnamed Yan smiled coldly and replied, "Elder Xun is overthinking it. While the East Sea forces won't unite, they won't let us get our way either. There will definitely be trouble."

"But after the transformation of the Mirage Ancient Mirror, the East China Sea forces that could cause trouble to us will surely rush into the palace. How could they disrupt our plans?"

He lowered his voice, looked into the distance, and murmured, "More importantly, the God is not just planning a few tokens, his real purpose is to lure someone here..."

Hearing this, Old Man Xun's expression suddenly changed. He asked curiously, "Are you bringing someone here? Who could have earned the Divine Lord's attention?"

The young man surnamed Yan's eyes flickered as he repeated, "Yes, who could possibly earn such attention from the Divine Honored One..."

Seeing that he also didn't know, Old Man Xun shook his head secretly, and could only withdraw his mind and think about other things.

Not long after, Old Man Xun spoke again and asked, "Envoy Yan, there is one more matter that requires your decision."

"explain."

"Envoy Shan has used the alliance's secret techniques to investigate, and as of now, over 260 Immortal Palace tokens have been gathered here. In addition to the seven major seas of Xuantai, Yingyue, and Chenli, a dragon son from the Dragon Palace has also come this time."

Old Man Xun smiled slightly and said excitedly, "Excluding the fifty or so tokens we have secretly searched for, there are more than a hundred tokens we can fight for."

"But there are so many of them. With our current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture them all..."

The young man surnamed Yan was somewhat surprised and asked in astonishment, "Do you know which secret technique of the alliance the Shanshen used? It is so effective that the number of tokens can be clearly seen at a glance..."

Old Man Xun smiled and said, "The secret techniques of the alliance are not something I, an old man, can access. However, I have heard that the secret techniques used by Shan seem to have been obtained from Master Meng Zhang."

"Master Meng Zhang?" The young man surnamed Yan cried out, "No wonder..."

Old Man Xun pressed on, "How exactly should we fight for this? Envoy Yan needs to give us some rules."

The young man surnamed Yan came back to his senses and nodded slowly, saying, "The Divine Master instructed us beforehand that no more than two hundred people should enter the palace without his permission."

"Since we already have over fifty, there's no need to fight for too many. We just need to maintain this limit."

Old Man Xun nodded suddenly, bowed and replied: "Old Man understands..."

……

The next morning, the red sun jumped out of the sea, dispelling the slight chill of the late autumn morning.

Xiao Qi walked out of the boat room and looked at the various cultivators around him with interest.

They have been here for several days. Except for the initial gathering with Liu Tianxuan and his group, Liu Tingnan and Taoist Chonggu have been discussing things on the boat for the rest of the time.

Until last night, Liu Tingnan invited him over and told him the next arrangements.

As for the candidate to enter the palace, she finally chose Taoist Chonggu.

As she said, this decision was made after careful consideration, and she gave him a lot of explanations for it.

In fact, he also understood that whether in terms of identity or realm, Taoist Chonggu was indeed much more suitable than Liu Tingnan.

The reason why Liu Tingnan took such unnecessary action was because Chonggu had acted disrespectfully towards Chen Mu at the beginning.

She was afraid that this would displease Chen Mu, so she gave him a long explanation, hoping that she could say something good about Huanyue Palace...

Xiao Qi smiled faintly. He wouldn't say anything nice, but he wouldn't overstep his authority and change Liu Tingnan's decision without authorization.

As for how things develop afterwards, it all depends on the master's wishes...

He stood with his hands behind his back, watching quietly for a long time.

Not until the sun grew brighter did he decide to turn around and return to the boat room.

But at this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded in front, the sea surface suddenly shook, and rolling waves surged in all directions.

Xiao Qi looked back quickly and saw that the clear air in the sky was like a rolling curtain, separating from both sides, and then swirling like a strong wind, and a palace with faint fairy music appeared before the world!
