Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

On the altar of the purification array.

A blinding white light, like a tangible waterfall, completely enveloped Venerable Shepherd Star.

This white light was not the usual radiance of an array.

Rather, it contains a wisp of the will of the supreme god of the Hunyuan Dao Palace, capable of seeing through all illusions and pointing directly to the origin.

Its detection precision reached an unbelievable level.

Not to mention the level and quantity of immortal matter.

Even if there is a trace of impurity mixed in that immortal matter, it can be scanned clearly for you.

Before the purification array.

No one can hide their methods.

Even if a supreme expert of the Supreme Realm came, as long as he stood on this altar, he would not be able to hide any of his cultivation level!

All pretense is in vain.

A white light swept across.

Beside the altar, on the ancient crystal stele that was ten feet tall, a ripple of water immediately appeared.

A dense array of data appeared rapidly.

The silver-robed Venerable Chen Xuan stood with his arms crossed, staring coldly at the crystal tablet.

"High-grade immortal substance of the mortal realm."

"Thirty-two yuan in total."

"Bone age, approximately 312 billion years."

Chen Xuan looked at the data, but his heart remained unmoved.

There was even a hint of disdain.

It took over 300 billion years of bone age to condense a mere thirty-two pieces of mortal-level high-grade immortal matter.

That's a talent.

This is its foundation.

It's rubbish.

The number of thirty-two pieces is simply not enough among the Venerables, let alone the lowest level of the Mortal Tribulation.

His combat strength is probably at the bottom among the Venerables.

Chen Xuan silently complained to himself.

"He's just a seasoned veteran who climbed up the ranks by sheer years and resources."

"People like this, when they come to places of trouble, are destined to just follow behind others and pick up the scraps."

but.

Disdain is disdain.

Chen Xuan didn't show it on his face.

He was a composed person, and he strictly adhered to the rules of the Hunyuan Dao Palace.

The white light dissipated.

Venerable Shepherd stepped down from the altar, his expression unchanged, showing no embarrassment at having his secrets exposed.

He's a businessman; he's long since developed a thick skin.

Chen Xuan handed over a jade slip without expression.

"The Great Dao Contract".

"The rules are very simple."

"Abiding by some of the prohibitions inside, and not harboring any troublemakers."

"The most crucial point—"

Chen Xuan stared at Venerable Mu Xing.

"Half of the Cleansing Crystals harvested inside must be handed over to the Dao Palace."

"no problem."

Venerable Shepherd Star directly forced out a drop of his primordial blood and imprinted his own laws on the jade slip.

Half is fine.

Anyway, the main reason he went in this time was to accompany Su Yu to find the Taixu Tribulation Ashes.

It's good to get the Purifying Crystal, but it doesn't matter if you don't.

The contract is established.

It vanished as a stream of light.

Chen Xuan put away the jade slip, his gaze passing over Venerable Mu Xing and landing on Su Yu behind him.

A simple white robe.

His aura was restrained.

It looks ordinary.

"Next."

Chen Xuan's tone was indifferent.

Su Yu walked calmly onto the white light altar.

"Buzz".

Chen Xuan activated the formation by making a hand seal with one hand.

The white light descended once more like a waterfall, completely engulfing Su Yu's figure.

Chen Xuan turned his head and habitually looked at the ancient crystal tablet.

Prepare to record data.

however.

next second.

A sudden change occurred.

Om-! ! !

The normally peacefully operating purification array suddenly emitted a muffled, suppressed rumbling sound!

The entire altar trembled violently at the sound of the roar.

It was as if they were under some indescribable, terrifying pressure!

"Um?"

Chen Xuan frowned sharply.

What happened?

Is the magic circle overloaded?

He stared at the crystal tablet.

The light screen on the crystal monument is flashing wildly.

Countless chaotic runes danced on it, yet they failed to coalesce into effective data.

A full ten breaths passed.

The twinkling of the crystal tablet gradually stopped.

but.

When Chen Xuan saw the content displayed above.

His stern face froze instantly.

There is no hierarchy of immortal matter.

No quantity.

It has no law attributes.

There's nothing there!

In the center of the crystal monument, amidst a blinding blank space, a black outline of a human figure was drawn!

I can't see through it!

It's impossible to see through!

Chen Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly felt the supreme detection beam projected by the array touch the black outline the moment it did.

It was violently bounced away by an unreasonable and terrifying force!

This is fucking ridiculous!

Chen Xuan's heart suddenly clenched.

What kind of physical quality is that?!

Even a wisp of will left behind by the supreme god couldn't penetrate it at all?!

Is this still a human body?!

Chen Xuan's breathing became somewhat rapid.

He suppressed the horror in his heart and his gaze unconsciously shifted downwards.

It landed in the "Bone Age" column at the very bottom of the crystal tablet.

Machines typically round down to the nearest integer.

For a venerable being who has lived for several epochs, a few decades is utterly meaningless.

Chen Xuan looked at that number.

then.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stood there, stunned.

At that moment, my brain completely shut down.

There.

A number was clearly and steadily pulsating.

one hundred.

one hundred.

Chen Xuan stared at the number, incredulous.

He even suspected that the formation might be broken.

One hundred years old?!

What kind of cosmic joke is this!

The Origin God Realm is vast and boundless, and geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

but.

Those peerless geniuses who are famous throughout the land, aren't they all at least several million years old?

Even if they've been bathed in top-tier resources since birth.

What can a hundred-year-old do?

To cultivate to the level of Martial Emperor or Martial Venerable is considered an incredible stroke of luck!

And the person in front of me.

You're telling me he's a hundred years old?!

At one hundred years old, his physical body is so abnormally strong that it even deflected the supreme magic array?!

Chen Xuan took a deep breath.

I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head.

Shocked.

Extremely shocking!

but.

Chen Xuan was, after all, an elite of the Hunyuan Dao Palace.

His calm demeanor allowed him to quickly regain his composure after the system crash.

Not right.

Something's not right!

To possess such power at the age of one hundred is fundamentally contrary to the underlying logic of the universe.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

There is only one possibility.

This person definitely possesses some kind of terrifyingly powerful treasure!

A heaven-defying treasure capable of shielding itself from the detection of the supreme magic array and even altering bone age data!

Thinking about this...

Chen Xuan's eyes instantly became extremely serious.

Even more so, there was an undisguised sense of apprehension and wariness.

This place is a source of disaster!

That calamity is a source of disaster that can even corrode immortal matter.

just in case.

The most valuable item the other party possessed was some kind of spatial container.

What if, after they go in, they secretly use this treasure to carry away the evil spirits and then smuggle it out...?

Once the trouble is exposed to the outside world.

The entire Central Plains will be plunged into chaos and devastation!

The consequences are far too severe.

It was so serious that even a gatekeeper at the Star String Realm couldn't afford to take it!

Absolutely do not let them through!

The white light dissipated.

Su Yu stood calmly on the altar, looking at Chen Xuan.

"Is it okay now?"

Su Yu spoke calmly.

Chen Xuan looked at Su Yu with a wary gaze.

He did not lash out, nor did he immediately take action.

Instead, he tried his best to control his emotions and spoke in a deep voice.

"Guest Su".

"Your data is extremely abnormal."

"According to the rules of the Dao Palace, I cannot let you in for the time being."

"Please wait."

Done.

Chen Xuan did not hesitate at all.

With his right hand behind his back, he suddenly crushed a communication jade slip that emitted a deep purple light.

The highest level of emergency communication.

Direct access to the elder who oversees this place!

……

at the same time.

Deep within the land of calamity.

In a void completely sealed off by endless arrays.

A simple yet majestic bronze temple floats in the air.

This is the core base of the Hunyuan Dao Palace in this area.

Inside the temple.

The fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air, and the laws of the Great Dao seemed to tangibly flow through the void.

An elderly man dressed in a gray robe, with white hair and beard, was sitting cross-legged on a futon.

Venerable Xuanyuan.

An unparalleled being in the early stage of the Supreme Realm.

His gaze was fixed on a young man in white in front of him.

The young man held a long sword, his posture upright, like a peerless blade drawn from its sheath.

Gu Jianyi.

One of the most dazzling prodigies of this generation from the Hunyuan Dao Palace.

"Sword One".

The voice of Venerable Xuanyuan echoed throughout the hall.
