Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 342 The Ancient Hall of Guidance
Meanwhile, other ancient kings also used their divine eyes to see clearly what it was.

That was actually a primordial spirit, or perhaps... a celestial embryo?

That primordial spirit, over a foot long, was shrouded in chaotic mist, extremely mysterious, and shot straight toward the Golden Dao Palace like a stream of light.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the "immortal embryo" continued to crash, even though it had already been ignited by the hazy immortal mist surrounding the Dao Palace, like a torch, it still did not stop.

Finally, to everyone's astonishment, the immortal embryo, after losing ninety percent of its body, actually managed to break in.

"this········"

This scene immediately shocked everyone present.

You must understand, this Golden Palace is not so easy to break into; even if a celestial being or a sect leader came, they would not be able to succeed.

But now, it has broken in, how can this not make people exclaim in surprise?

The celestial mist surged, like the surface of a lake tossed with a giant rock, with ripples spreading rapidly, reaching the entire surface of the Dao Palace in the blink of an eye.

"What a bold spirit!"

The Ten-Crown King's expression was solemn. The small immortal tree in his hand swayed more and more violently, and the scattered rosy light condensed as if it were a tangible substance, trying to capture the traces of the primordial spirit again. However, the primordial spirit seemed to have merged into the Dao Palace, and there was no trace of it left.

The immortal also stopped playing the bone flute, his brows furrowed, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his fair and jade-like face: "This primordial spirit is not simple. The chaotic energy wrapped around it is something that no ordinary being can possess. It may be an old monster that has survived from the previous era."

The light from the landscape painting beneath Ning Chuan's feet dimmed slightly as he coldly declared, "Whatever it is, daring to enter the Golden Dao Palace before us, we will make it pay the price when it emerges."

At this moment, everyone present also recovered from their shock and began to discuss among themselves.

"What exactly is that thing? It seems even more mysterious and powerful than the Ten-Crown Kings."

"I don't know, but if we can break into the Golden Dao Palace, we might get a great fortune."

"Hmph, fortune? You have to be alive to get it. That Golden Dao Palace isn't easy to enter. You might not be able to get out once your primordial spirit goes in."

"Look, there seems to be a plaque over there!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to the half-manifested golden palace.

The celestial mist above the Golden Palace gradually dissipated, revealing an ancient and weathered golden plaque. On the plaque were two runes that resembled flowing stars or interwoven Dao patterns, flickering uncertainly in the celestial light.

"That's... script from the Immortal Ancient Era?!"

Looking at the characters on the plaque, many cultivators recognized that they were not from the present era, but from the Immortal Ancient Era. However, it was unknown how much time had passed since the Immortal Ancient Era. Even if some cultivators had seen the Immortal Ancient characters in ancient books, they could not quickly recognize the meaning of the two runes on the plaque.

Fortunately, there are still indigenous people on site. They have lived here since the ancient times. Although their appearance is different from their ancestors, some of their writing can still be recognized.

Immediately, one of the indigenous people murmured, "Guide!"

"Guidance?"

Upon hearing this term, everyone looked puzzled, whispering among themselves and trying to find the answer in each other's eyes.

What is the deeper meaning of the word "reception"? Is this Golden Dao Palace specifically used to receive some kind of being, or to open some kind of mysterious passage?
For a moment, all the cultivators present fell into deep thought. Only Shi Hao was different from the others; at this moment, he was deeply shaken.

For some reason, when he saw the celestial embryo, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, which caused a huge uproar in his heart!

He was quite certain that he did not know the so-called immortal fetus, but the power swirling around the other party made him sense it. It was the same aura that he had gone to after his soul left his body. The other party might have been there like him, or simply followed him out.

Thinking this, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end, and a strange sense of crisis overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

He subconsciously gripped the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, but the slight coolness emanating from the sword embryo did not dispel the unease in his heart in the slightest.

If the other party really did follow him out, then it must be some incredibly ancient and terrifying monster!
He had experienced the terror of the dark cage firsthand. Although he had only been there for a short time, that short period of time gave him the illusion that tens of thousands of years had passed. The oppressive and desperate atmosphere still haunted him to this day.

However, the other party is very likely a cultivator from the previous era. How did he survive an entire era?

Even if the other person is long-lived and can live a long life, what about their spirit?

The more Shi Hao thought about it, the more terrified he became. In that dark cage, time seemed to have lost its meaning, and every moment was endless torture. To be able to survive in it for an entire era, the will and strength of this immortal embryo were simply beyond imagination.

"Guidance...could it be...?"

Suddenly, Shi Hao thought of a problem, and felt even more uneasy.

This Golden Palace and that Dark Land are likely connected in some way.

"Huh, a fighting ring has appeared too?"

Just then, someone pointed upwards and exclaimed.

Everyone turned their heads and saw, sure enough, a blurry arena next to the ancient golden palace.

That is the supreme arena, their final battlefield in the Immortal Ancient City, and the place where all freaks and kings throughout history have fought for supremacy!

Gazing at the arena, Shi Hao momentarily forgot about the Dark Land, his heart filled with excitement.

"Buzz!"

To everyone's surprise, accompanied by a burst of supreme divine light, the Guiding Palace and the arena seemed to evaporate into thin air, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

And this time it wasn't a crossover; it was as if it had never existed, disappearing without a trace.

"what happened?!"

Instantly, the scene erupted into chaos, like a pot boiling over.

Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief and confusion. The magnificent golden palace and the mysterious supreme arena were right in front of them, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye? This was even more shocking than the incident of the primordial spirit breaking into the palace.

Even the two most likely candidates to become the number one immortal in the ancient world, namely the Immortal and the Ten-Crown King, have not seen its whereabouts.

"Could it be that this Dao Palace called the Reception Palace came for this immortal embryo, and now that it has been received, it has left?"

Some couldn't help but speculate, their voices trembling slightly, clearly shaken by this sudden turn of events.
