High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

.........

A celestial abode in the sky, a white jade pavilion in the heart of the lake.

"This large formation cannot be used for teleportation at the moment."

It is because it only accepts immortals who ascend from the Cangxuan Realm.

Activation also requires certain conditions; there must be an ascendant of the Mortal Immortal realm on it.

He was an outsider and did not qualify.

Chen Yuan twirled a teacup in his hand.

Before his eyes.

That great formation was like a tightly closed door, and there was a reason behind it that he had to go in.

But he couldn't get in without the key.

He didn't intend to force his way in.

He hasn't figured out how deep the waters of the upper realm are yet, so the safest course of action now is to wait.

Wait for the check-in count to refresh.

Sign in a few more times.

We'll make plans after we have greater strength.

If during this period, we can use this guiding array to locate the star field coordinates of the other upper realm.

Even better.

He can avoid using the teleportation array.

Instead, they silently crept over from the void aboard the Starship.

Without leaving a trace.

Without alerting anyone.

only......

With his current level as a god-level array master, he wanted to locate the coordinates of the other side through a dormant teleportation array.

It's extremely difficult.

The spacetime patterns of a god-level teleportation array are inherently the most difficult to decipher.

The array patterns of this great formation were completely different from any he had seen before.

It takes time to fully understand it.

A lot of time.

Chen Yuan made a swift decision after a moment's thought.

I spend half my time studying the grand formation and the other half waiting for the daily check-in count to refresh.

He stood up and said to Chen Yi.

"Pay close attention to Chen Tianling's aura fluctuations. If it strengthens even slightly, tell me immediately."

"Yes."

Chen nodded.

Chen Yuan has been traveling back and forth between the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace and the great array outside the starry sky every day for the past few days.

Occasionally, he would sit under the base stone pillar and unfold a scroll of newly copied array patterns.

They would sit there for hours at a time.

The shadow sometimes followed, but most of the time it lay dozing on a meteorite not far away.

As for Chen Tianling...

Chen Yuan could sense that Chen Tianling was still alive through their soul bond, although his aura was still very weak.

This gave him a temporary respite.

This is also why Chen Yuan did not rush to the Upper Realm immediately.

The beings in the Upper Realm are definitely not as easy to fool as those in the Cangxuan Realm. They might be mistaken for extraterrestrial demons as soon as they arrive.

Forget about finding someone then; you might even get yourself into a lot of trouble.

Chen Yuan could only pray that Chen Tianling was alright.

.........

Cangxuan Realm.

Xiao Kuangyun's death was like a meteor crashing into the pool of the Cangxuan Realm, and the waves it stirred up did not subside for a long time.

News of immortals descending to the mortal realm.

It spread throughout the entire continent in just a few days.

Whether it's the northern region or the southern border.

Whether it's a dynasty or a sect, whether it's humans or demons.

Everyone is talking about the same name.

Supreme Immortal Lord!

The celestial palace in the sky that Chen Yuan condensed with divine power.

It floats above the clouds.

Enveloped in clouds and mist.

Occasionally, golden light would fall, like a star falling from the top of the sky.

It has become something that everyone reveres and yearns for.

I don't know who shouted it first.

That's how the name "Cloud Top Palace" spread.

"Cloud Top Palace...that really is a place where immortals live."

A rogue martial artist stood atop a desolate mountain, gazing into the distance at the clouds tinged pale gold by the sunlight.

While rubbing his hands, he dreamed of one day being able to climb up and touch the steps of the celestial palace.

"I heard that the immortal abode is protected by immortal spirits. Ordinary people will be repelled if they get close. Even the ancestral immortals of the imperial dynasty cannot enter it."

Someone in the teahouse was telling the news they had just heard, like a storyteller.

A busybody nearby lifted the tea lid and then closed it again.

"Nonsense! Do you think mortals can just wander into the dwelling place of immortals? If they did, it wouldn't be a celestial palace!"

Many young, ambitious, and exceptionally talented prodigies.

They even developed a fanatical adoration for Chen Yuan, this immortal lord from the upper realm.

A prince of the Great Yu Dynasty finished practicing his sword in the training ground.

I stared at the sky for a long time in a daze.

Then he said in a low voice.

"If I could be accepted into the sect of the Supreme Immortal Lord, even as an outer disciple, it would be ten thousand times better than being a prince in this dynasty."

The eunuch next to him was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but he didn't dare to cover his master's mouth.

Among the true disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect, there are also people who stare blankly at the clouds outside the Sword Pavilion every day.

A female disciple suddenly stopped practicing her sword halfway through.

"I heard that Immortal Lord Tianling only glanced at Senior Xiao, and Senior Xiao was rendered immobile... What level of cultivation is that? Is that still a sword?"

The senior student next to her shook his head.

That's not a sword.

"That's something we can't even understand."

"One day, I will see the Immortal Lord with my own eyes."

Her senior patted her on the shoulder.

"You should cultivate to the point of Sword Heart Clarity first. You're not even a half-immortal yet, how can you expect to meet an immortal? They could just breathe on you and you'd be gone."

The situation wasn't much better for the monsters.

Southern Xinjiang.

The Demon God Palace headquarters was unusually quiet for several days.

Some of the lesser demons in the tribes even secretly imitated human craftsmen, carving the four characters "Jidao Xianjun" (meaning "Immortal Lord of the Ultimate Path") into the soil with twigs, and bowing low a few times to pray for peace.

But regardless of whether they are human or demon beast, or whether they are the ruler of a dynasty or an old monster from the Demon God Temple.

Everyone gradually realized something.

Since the Supreme Immortal Lord ascended to the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace, he has never come down again.

No one was summoned, and no divine decree was issued.

She has never appeared in public or shown her face to anyone.

Even the pale golden halo surrounding the Cloud Palace remained suspended there without moving an inch.

Even the clouds and mist didn't disperse even a little.

It was as if the immortal lord was merely passing by and taking a break.

We'll leave after we've rested.

It was so high up that it was out of reach.

This made those who were already full of enthusiasm even more eager to try.

The immortal lord did not show himself.

They wanted to curry favor but couldn't find a way.

Some people simply couldn't sit still any longer.

"Your Majesty, if we wait any longer, the Immortal Lord might leave!"

"This is an incredible opportunity! If we can obtain even the slightest thing from the Immortal Lord, the Great Yu Dynasty can continue for at least another ten thousand years!"

An old minister knelt in the imperial study of the Great Yu Dynasty, his eyes red with anxiety.

Lu Tianxiong sat on the dragon throne.

His hands gripped the handrails so tightly they turned white.

He knew it all too well, but what could he do?

"What should I send? Am I supposed to send those spirit stones, ancient jade, and cultivation techniques to the immortals in the upper realm?"

"Would they even look at that? My most valuable heirloom jade talisman might not even be enough to prop up a table leg in front of an immortal!"

That being said...

But he still couldn't swallow his anger.

Two days later.

Lu Tianxiong still picked out the best spiritual items from the royal collection and put them into the box.

Then he had Yuan Tiangang take a few secret guards and fly towards the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace.

As a result, they were blocked by a nearly transparent light barrier a thousand feet outside the Cloud Peak Palace.

No matter how much spiritual power I tried to activate, I couldn't get any closer.

Yuan Tiangang stood in the void and bowed three times to the light wall before having to turn back.

The same thing is happening to other factions as well.

The elder from Yunlan Sect who was delivering medicine was stopped in mid-air.

Applying the pills to the golden light was useless; the pills slid down the light barrier, and he bent down to pick them up and put them back in his sleeve.

The team from Medicine God Valley delivering the elixirs was blocked by the clouds for an entire day.

I couldn't even see which way the gate of the celestial palace faced.

The demon envoys sent by the Demon God Temple fared even worse.

At first, I cautiously tried to approach the Cloud Palace to observe it.

It turned out that they couldn't even get close to the light barrier.

He reported back to the police station, trembling with fear.

"Demon God! The Immortal Lord refuses to receive guests!"

"Forget receiving guests, I don't even know which way the gates of the celestial palace open!"

Chen Yuan knew all of these things, of course.

His divine sense covered the entire Cangxuan Realm.

Not to mention those who came to give gifts were kept out by his spatial barrier.

Even if something is unearthed from beneath the Cangxuan Realm, it will all be right under his nose.

He sat in the white jade pavilion in the middle of the lake.

He didn't even lift his eyelids while drinking the spiritual tea he brought from Blue Star.

Sending a generous gift?

He had already scanned the planet Cangxuan Realm from the inside out with his divine sense several times over.

The spiritual energy is scarce, and the mineral veins are ordinary.

It doesn't even possess the power of the world's origin.

In his eyes, the entire planet can be summed up in one word.

poor.

The best treasures on this planet.

What kind of communication jade tablet is this? What kind of ancestral ancient jade is this? What kind of seventh-tier spiritual artifact is this?

Place it on Earth.

That is, something that even a Martial Emperor-level expert might not even look down upon.

To him, it wasn't even considered junk.

Chen Yuan took a sip of tea.

He spoke softly.

"Chen Yi, ignore those people outside."

"Let them do what they want."

Chen Yi nodded in response from outside the pavilion.

The shadowy figure rolled over on the grass.

Her purple belly was exposed.

"The boss is right, those things aren't even worth as much as the spirit fruits in my snack bag."

"Let them wait, they won't even touch a blade of grass in the Celestial Palace anyway."

.........

For quite some time in a row.

No matter what, the major dynasties and sects of the Cangxuan Realm could not get close to the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace.

My fervent heart gradually cooled down.

Someone sighed and put the jade box, which they had carefully chosen as a gift, back into their Sumeru bag.

Someone looked up at the sky and whispered.

"An immortal lord is ultimately an immortal lord... someone we mortals can never reach."

Another old rogue cultivator simply built a thatched hut on a desolate mountain below the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace and settled down there.

Following the teachings from the Demon God Temple, they respectfully bowed three times to the clouds every day.

Others laughed at him for being foolish, but he couldn't be bothered to explain.

Whether the immortals can see it or not is their business; whether I worship them or not is my own choice.

The young geniuses, however, have not completely given up.

I simply suppressed that unrealistic expectation deep in my heart.

The immortal hasn't left yet.

Not leaving means there's still a chance, even if it's just a sliver...
