"This is the perfect time for us to decide on the people to be sent in..."
This person wasn't someone to be chosen easily...
Although the Wanhua Star Palace sent its elites this time, including many who had reached the Ninth Grade Supreme Realm, their opponents this time were the chosen ones of the entire Great Thousand World.
Putting aside the inherent dangers within the palace itself, the sheer number of opponents alone would deter most people from even attempting to enter.
After much deliberation, Liu Tiandao and others each selected a peak ninth-grade supreme expert, and together with Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian, who volunteered to join, a total of eight people formed the main force for the Myriad Transformations Star Palace to explore the ancient heavenly palace.
"Alright, now that the personnel have been selected, let's set off..."
Cao Ying gave the order, and then everyone transformed into streaks of light and headed deep into the far west.
Just as Cao Ying and Zi'er set off, powerful and vast spiritual energy surged into the sky from the outer edge of this far western wilderness, causing the entire world to tremble.
Clearly, the leaders of those top powers have already begun to take action.
Tens of thousands of feet away from a spatial rift, the group from the Myriad Transformations Star Palace appeared, standing before the enormous spatial rift. Darkness surged in, like an unfathomable black hole...
If you look closely, you can vaguely see some ancient palaces in the depths of the darkness, exuding a sense of antiquity and mystery.
Zi'er turned her head and exchanged a glance with Mandala, Liu Tiandao, and the others. Then they all made their move at the same time. A pillar of spiritual energy, as solid as a physical object, swept out from their bodies and, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, forcefully rushed into the black crack torn apart by the spatial storm.
Boom boom!
The beam of light swept in, and a deafening roar followed. The heavens and earth seemed to tremble. The spatial storm within the crack was gradually torn open by the vast and boundless beam of spiritual energy, creating a hole about ten feet wide.
"Alright, let's go in." Zi'er turned to the group and said.
Cao Ying gave a few more instructions to Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, telling them to be careful, and then watched as the person flew into the dark passage.
If it weren't for the fact that this ancient heavenly palace was so important, Cao Ying would never have agreed to let Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin join it.
For others, they might need to work hard to improve their abilities, but for these women, the resources provided by their men alone are enough to make everyone envious.
Therefore, they have absolutely no need to take the risk...
However, in order to secure the final qualification to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, they had to ensure that they could achieve this in the final battle for the ancient Heavenly Palace. Apart from the few of them personally taking action, no one else was confident that they could do so.
Fortunately, each of them had a life-saving method left by Ye Chen, and more than one, so their safety was not a big problem.
Leaving aside the people outside, let's focus on Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, who have entered the passage...
Because so many people entered the Ancient Heavenly Palace, even though each force would choose different spatial rifts, the opened passages would always be of varying distances, and some would even be directly adjacent to each other.
This led to some factions, already harboring grudges, starting their struggles even before entering the Heavenly Palace.
Little Fairy Doctor and others once witnessed several peak ninth-rank supreme experts from one force collectively attacking a passage not far away, directly destroying the opponent's spatial passage and causing them to fall into the endless void of the universe.
Even though they were all powerful ninth-rank supreme beings, these lost souls had virtually no hope of survival...
This scene shocked everyone in the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, causing them to quicken their pace.
And so, without any real danger, the eight members of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace emerged from the spatial passage and landed on a sheer cliff...
Looking up at the dim sky above, and down at the vast land below, one could see mountain peaks rising abruptly in the distance, with ancient palaces faintly visible on them.
If you look further into the distance, you can vaguely see that the sky there seems to be a series of stone islands floating in the air, but these stone islands all show signs of desolation.
"Let's go. We're probably only at the outermost edge of the ancient Heavenly Palace right now. For safety's sake, we'll explore inwards step by step. We might encounter many unexpected events and dangers along the way, so everyone be careful," Little Fairy Doctor said solemnly to everyone.
"Yes!"
The six people standing behind Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin immediately answered in unison.
Chapter 591 Breaking Through and Ascending to the Dragon
As they ventured deeper into the Heavenly Palace, their hearts were heavy with unease. They could clearly see that the earth beneath their feet was riddled with countless bottomless, dark abysses, which divided the land and appeared somewhat menacing.
These abysses were not formed naturally, but were forged by an extremely fierce battle. Clearly, an earth-shattering war once took place here in ancient times.
In everyone's view, ancient city ruins could occasionally be seen on the ground, all of which had been completely destroyed. Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor and her companions did not neglect to explore the area.
Moreover, although they had encountered some forces from other factions along the way, they all chose to avoid them after seeing them from a distance. It would be reckless to make a move before fully understanding the situation. Therefore, all parties kept a distance and kept a watchful eye on each other, maintaining a peaceful coexistence.
In the ruins of a military camp where a large army had been stationed, Little Fairy Doctor and the other eight searched the ruins, but unfortunately found nothing. Even the divine weapons they possessed were mostly damaged and had long been eroded over the endless years...
The only thing that could be considered a gain was a few tokens, which seemed to represent identity tokens for people with special status.
"Azure Wolf Token... Could this be the identity token of the direct disciples of the ancient Heavenly Palace...?" Little Fairy Doctor silently thought to herself, then put away the Azure Wolf Token in her hand and led everyone to continue forward.
However, just as the eight people were about to leave, a stone hall not far from them suddenly exploded, and a figure fled rapidly into the distance.
Behind him, another person was relentlessly pursuing him!
The sudden scene startled many people in the ruins, but no one reacted in any other way; instead, they all watched in silence…
"Both are early-stage Ninth-Rank Supreme experts; they must have discovered some treasure and that's why they clashed..."
The one who spoke was Sleeping Emperor, who was also the only person Little Fairy Doctor and her companion were familiar with among the six people who had come with him.
As Mandala's absolute confidant, the Sleeping Emperor's original strength was only that of an eighth-grade Supreme. However, when Mandala received a large amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid from Ye Chen, she not only kept enough for her own cultivation but also gave a lot of rewards to her subordinates, including the Three Emperors...
Among them, the Sleeping Emperor was naturally the one who received the most rewards. In addition, with the special cultivation technique he practiced, he also broke through to the Ninth Grade Supreme Realm in the past few years.
Although after joining the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, due to the unification of the Northern Realm, Mandala, like everyone else, recruited many powerful experts, including some peak ninth-rank supreme beings, there was only one who could truly be used by Mandala.
"Should we go and join in the fun?" a burly man couldn't help but ask, eager to try.
This person is named Lei Qing, and his title is Supreme Sovereign. He is tall and strong, possessing the strength of a dragon and an elephant, and was originally a renowned Ninth-Rank Supreme in the Northern Realm.
After the Myriad Transformations Star Palace unified the Northern Realm, various forces, large and small, as well as independent cultivators, joined one after another. This person was naturally tricked into joining Liu Tiandao's ranks by this great swindler.
"No rush, let's see how the others react first..." Little Fairy Doctor's eyes flashed with a dark light as she looked at the two people who had already started their battle in the sky above her head, and said leisurely.
Many people share their views, but not everyone can tolerate such temper...
Just as the two above were showing signs of a decisive battle, a figure shot into the sky and instantly attacked them!
"Someone has made a move!" Upon seeing this, the Supreme Being of the Sky exclaimed excitedly.
Little Fairy Doctor and the others also quickly looked up...
The person who made the move was dressed in gray, with an ordinary appearance and nothing special.
However, the opponent immediately suppressed the two ninth-grade supreme experts as soon as he made a move, and even when he was fighting two against one, he severely injured one of them in just a few moves!
"Ninth-grade Supreme Peak experts, as expected, these people show no mercy from the start!" Qing Lin, dressed in a green dress, looked at the battlefield in the sky. Her pale green eyes spun rapidly, and then two green flowers slowly emerged from them.
Just as Qinglin and the others were talking, the battle in the sky had come to an end. The gray-clad man who made the last move killed both of the previous two...
As he lay dying, the man who had initially pursued him roared at the man in gray, "Yin Gui Sect! I am an elder of the Zhen Yue Sect! How dare you kill me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the gray-clad man swiftly pierced the other man's chest with a palm strike, unleashing a burst of chilling spiritual power that obliterated even his soul.
It was this last sentence that revealed the identities of two of the three parties to many spectators in the ruins.
"Yin Gui Men, Zhen Yue Zong... are all top-tier forces in the Western Regions, each stronger than the seven major forces of the Northern Realm back then!" The speaker was Xuan Ming Supreme from Wan Sheng Mountain. He was also a veteran Supreme expert in the Northern Realm, and now he had the strength of the ninth rank peak. He also joined the Wan Sheng Ancestor's ranks after Wan Hua Xing Gong unified the Northern Realm.
This person was in charge of leading the advance team that was sent to gather intelligence earlier.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly after hearing the explanation. They were currently among the first to enter this ancient heavenly palace. As time passed, other top-tier and even super-powerful forces from outside the Tianluo Continent would arrive one by one; that would be the truly brutal time. Right now, all of this was just a small skirmish…
"Lady Immortal, Lady Qing, what should we do now?" Supreme Xuanming asked the two ladies of the palace.
Little Fairy Doctor narrowed her eyes, a cold glint appearing on her beautiful face: "Rob it!"
The Yin Gui Sect group wasn't weak, but they were still somewhat inferior to them. As for the other party's identity... let alone just being a top force in the Western Regions, even if they came from one of the super forces in the Great Thousand Worlds, if their strength wasn't sufficient, they would only be easy prey in someone else's eyes.
"Alright! Don't fight over it, this time I'll lead the charge!" the Supreme Being of the Sky shouted with great joy.
As it charged towards the Yin Ghost Sect members like a ferocious beast, the remaining Sleeping Emperor, Xuanming Supreme, and others also rushed out simultaneously, unleashing their full power. Their enormous Dharma bodies stood tall and firm, determined to defeat the enemy and seize the treasure in the shortest possible time...
As for Little Fairy Doctor, she raised her hand and released a cloud of highly poisonous mist to form a canopy, blocking all the malicious gazes below.
As expected of the Supreme Being who supports the heavens, he transformed into a giant dragon-elephant and swept across, catching the Yin Ghost Sect members who were hastily defending off guard completely off guard.
After he disrupted the battlefield, the Sleeping Emperor, Xuanming Supreme, and others attacked together, severely injuring the ninth-rank cultivator who had seized the treasure with a single blow.
The gray-robed man at the peak of the Supreme Realm, after the Supreme Being of Heaven held off the enemy reinforcements for a moment, the group joined forces again to kill the gray-robed man, seize the treasure, and immediately retreated...
The process took only a few breaths, and by the time those below reacted, Sleeping Emperor and his companions had already succeeded.
Then, Little Fairy Doctor conjured a highly poisonous canopy, covering the sky for tens of thousands of meters around. She then calmly led everyone away, leaving behind a group of unwilling people below who were jumping up and down cursing. The Yin Ghost Sect, having lost a peak ninth-grade supreme expert and its treasures, became the biggest loser!
After getting away from the ruins, Little Fairy Doctor and the others stopped and took out the item that everyone was fighting over...
"Another token? But this one doesn't have any special markings, only the word 'second'!" The Sleeping Emperor looked at the token in his hand, then handed it to Little Fairy Doctor with some doubt.
"Could it be... that this is an artifact from the second palace of the ancient Heavenly Palace?"
The ancient Heavenly Palace had five halls and nine departments, and only the second hall would likely possess such a marked token.
"No wonder those two were willing to risk their lives for this. This thing is probably really related to the Second Hall of the Ancient Heavenly Palace..." Xuanming Supreme also stared at the token with wide eyes, somewhat excited.
Little Fairy Doctor frowned, but still put the token away for the time being. She then said, "Regardless, let's continue forward and try to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace as quickly as possible. Don't worry, everyone, no matter what we gain this time, the Palace Master will reward you handsomely!"
"We are willing to die for the Palace Master!" Having received Little Fairy Doctor's guarantee, the group happily expressed their loyalty.
They hadn't gone far when Little Fairy Doctor and the others discovered a large crowd gathered ahead. They also saw someone flying past them at high speed, no more than a kilometer away, suddenly explode into countless points of light and vanish into thin air, as if they had collided with something...
Many people who had arrived earlier were not surprised by this; some even showed mocking smiles, seemingly laughing at the man's recklessness and that he deserved it.
“It should be a spirit array…” Qinglin deduced after examining it for a moment.
Of the eight people present, apart from Qinglin who had studied some spirit arrays out of curiosity after arriving in the Great Thousand World, the rest were completely ignorant about them. Moreover, Qinglin was only a novice spirit array master because he had only studied them for a short time, so they would be at a great disadvantage in this regard.
"Since it's protected by a spirit array, this might be the entrance to the ancient heavenly palace. Let's carefully search the surrounding area; we should be able to find the portal..." Little Fairy Doctor suggested.
However, before Little Fairy Doctor could finish speaking, the group was drawn by an even louder commotion. Their gazes turned forward, and there stood an enormous stone gate atop a mountain peak…
The stone gate looked very ancient, with countless mysterious runes engraved on it, and three ancient characters appeared on the stone gate.
"That is……"
Little Fairy Doctor stared at the ancient characters on the stone gate, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Ascending the Dragon Gate?
In ancient times, all disciples who joined the Ancient Heavenly Palace would enter the palace through a gate. This gate was used to assess their strength and potential, and finally to grant them the status they deserved. Some outstanding individuals were able to ascend to heaven through this gate, hence it was also known as the Dragon Gate.
This is the only way to safely enter the ancient heavenly palace!
There are only three Dragon Gates, so there are only three passages to enter the ancient Heavenly Palace. Before each Dragon Gate, a large number of powerful people gather, including some young geniuses who are famous throughout the Tianluo Continent.
However, Little Fairy Doctor and the others were not interested in this. Given their unknown status, no one would bother to cause trouble for them. So after watching a few good shows, and after the first person to try something new appeared, countless people rushed into the ancient stone gate.
"Alright, you should all give it a try..." Little Fairy Doctor said to Sleeping Emperor and Supreme Heavenly Sovereign behind her.
Sleeping Emperor and the others rushed into the stone gate. After a burst of light, the six reappeared, each holding a token...
With a quick glance, Little Fairy Doctor could tell the level of those tokens. They were all eagle tokens, and most of them were blue eagle tokens, with only Sleeping Emperor himself having a gold eagle token.
This scene made the faces of the Supreme Being of the Sky and the Supreme Being of the Dark Underworld extremely ugly. With their strength, they had only obtained an Eagle Token. Did that mean they had no potential left?
As for the Sleeping Emperor, he also wore a wry smile.
Although his token was of a higher grade than the others, it was still just an eagle token, indicating that his potential was limited...
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the two palace mistresses, wondering if these two women, who could be chosen by such a powerful person as the palace master, must be outstanding enough.
Their gazes, however, unwittingly added a lot of pressure to Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin...
However, the two women could not show weakness in front of these people, so they calmly entered the stone gate.
"Brother Sleeping Emperor, what level of evaluation do you think the two Palace Mistresses will receive?" The Supreme Being of Heaven asked Sleeping Emperor beside him with a curious look.
At this moment, the Sleeping Emperor regained his sleepy appearance. Hearing the question from the guy beside him, he chuckled and said, "I don't know about that, but whatever the evaluation, he's definitely better than all of us..."
】
It’s the same as not saying anything!
The Supreme Being of Heaven glared at him with some displeasure, then fell silent.
The next moment, two golden beams of light shot into the air simultaneously, and a deafening dragon roar resounded throughout the entire sky...
"This is... a disciple of the Golden Dragon?!"
The Sleeping Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the stone door with a shocked expression.
"Are they the two palace mistresses?" The Supreme Being of Heaven asked urgently, his face filled with shock.
But before they could get the answer they wanted, golden pillars of light, accompanied by dragon roars, resounded from two other directions once again...
"Five...five people?"
