Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 413 4 Palaces and 6 Halls

Chapter 414 Four Palaces and Sixteen Halls

Qi Refining Channel.

Blood Demon Island.

The rich, high-grade fourth-order spiritual energy flowed like a gentle stream within the cave, converging like a spring.

"Has the Xuanxu Heavenly Portal opened?"

Fang Qing opened his eyes and pondered for a moment.

The grotto-heaven has a barrier that even a True Lord cannot see into.

If the hidden Tara and Tara are inside a grotto-heaven, it is even more difficult for them to contact the outside world, and they may not even be able to escape and reincarnate.

Therefore, it is understandable that when such a grotto-heaven opens, the secret treasure only comes to the Temple of No Form of All Beings.

"But just because the True Lord can't do it doesn't mean I can't—with the 'omnipotence' of the Dao-born Pearl, I can absolutely do what 'Taihuang Tian' did back then, and have someone else play for me!"

"But right now, the Purple Mansion only has three supernatural powers. Even if he takes on Sangji's name, it will only add one more supernatural power to his abilities at most—"

Just as Fang Qing was pondering, a communication talisman flashed outside.

"Come in!"

He gave a soft shout and released the restrictions on the cave, whereupon a cloud of demonic energy surged in.

Within the demonic clouds, a nascent soul with long, jet-black horns emerged; it was none other than the Heavenly Fiend Master!

"Reporting to Master, I have completed my orders and obtained two True Essences!"

Master Tian Sha bowed respectfully and took out two jade bottles.

This jade bottle appears to be carved from a single piece of jade. It is not only exquisitely beautiful, but also has gold and silver patterns on its surface, which converge into an intricate magic array.

Fang Qing picked one up and saw that it was truly profound and clear, dazzling and crystal clear, it was a "Mysterious Nothingness in the Well"!

The other true form, however, was as smooth as jade, like the surface of a lake, reflecting the moonlight and creating the color of a lake and moon. It was quite mysterious and was called "Illusory Moon Mirage".

"To cultivate the 'Moon in the Well' supernatural power, one needs two true nothingnesses. The 'Mysterious Nothingness in the Well' is primary, while the 'Illusory Moon Mirage' connects with the Taiyin (the moon), drawing upon the well water, which possesses a unique and profound mystery."

A thought struck him, and he smiled, "You may leave."

"Yes, ma'am."

Upon hearing this, Tian Sha Shangren's second Nascent Soul immediately withdrew from the cave.

His magical power was incredibly profound, and he had actually reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

This old demon's main body had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and there was no bottleneck in the advancement of the second Nascent Soul. As long as his magical power was sufficient, he could break through naturally.

The other party had prepared many miraculous elixirs for resurrection long ago, which Fang Qing seized and then gave back to the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster.

Therefore, this second nascent soul progressed rapidly in its cultivation, advancing by leaps and bounds in a single day.

At least, there are no bottlenecks before reaching the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation.

"It's also a Nascent Soul seed!"

Having cultivated to this level, Fang Qing couldn't help but sigh. In the Qi Refining Path, there were simply too few seeds of the Nascent Soul stage.

Shuiyue and Leiyin, those two old guys, have long since lost hope of promotion, and the other merchant ancestors are also lacking in many ways.

After a round of observation, only Zhan Hongxiu and this Tian Sha have a slight chance of success.

Once I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, these will all be excellent chess pieces!

"At that time, whether it's testing the Thunder Palace, attempting ascension, or even cultivating ancient techniques—it will all be useful. There's so little of it, so very little!"

After sighing, Fang Qing stopped worrying about it.

After all, what he wanted was the seed of a Nascent Soul cultivator after he himself had reached the Nascent Soul stage, while any cultivator who could reach the Nascent Soul stage before him would be resolutely blocked.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged, and the Dao Sheng Pearl circulated, with one [Ji Shui] supernatural power after another appearing in his Purple Mansion.

"Yuanquan Lian", "Yinlin Pan", "Wei Lin Feng"

In an instant, the wind howled and the spring water flowed freely within the cave. One after another, streams of [Ji Shui] radiance converged, gathering colorful light behind him, carrying mysterious supernatural powers and radiating a terrifying aura.

Fang Qing then donned a green robe, its surface covered with countless spring-water leopard prints, and a bright green light shone between his brows, making it even more dazzling.

At this moment, the profound mysteries of "Moon in the Well" taught by Bai Ze appeared one by one in his mind, flowing through him like a stream.

He successively consumed "Mysterious Nothingness in the Well" and "Illusory Moon Mirage"—which gathered in his dantian and sea of ​​qi into a seed of magical power. Then, the Dao-Born Pearl spun rapidly, and strands of primordial nothingness fell down, causing this wisp of magical power to advance by leaps and bounds, instantly breaking through the ninth level of Qi Consumption perfection and condensing the Dao Foundation—

Within the dantian and dantian, a celestial foundation was as clear and transparent as spring water, and reflected the moonlight in a lake—it was the "Moon in the Well"!

The temperature around us plummeted, and the moonlight flickered erratically.

Subsequently, this immortal foundation rapidly ascended, reaching the point of perfect foundation.

"For an ordinary Purple Mansion True Person to complete this step, it would take at least a decade of arduous cultivation, but for me, it's done in an instant—"

Fang Qing took out a pill, which was the Purple Mansion Pill that he had previously refined using various [Ji Shui] spiritual objects.

"When combined with this elixir, it can unleash supernatural powers—"

"The progress of pushing the immortal foundation into the Purple Mansion should be extremely fast—but after the divine power is generated, whether it can be integrated with the three divine powers in the Purple Mansion is a big problem."

"If we fail, we can only start over. Bai Ze might not be able to wait—in that case, we can only say it's his fate!"

In the later stages of the Purple Mansion realm, one is known as the Great True Man. Within the Purple Mansion, three supernatural powers form a triangular shape, which is extremely stable.

To disrupt its stability by forcibly inserting a supernatural power requires extremely high standards for the power itself, as well as for one's cultivation level and the right opportunity.

Fang Qing was just giving it a try.

At this moment, he silently recited the incantation for the "Moon in the Well" technique, held the Purple Mansion Pill in his mouth, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state, beginning his ascent towards the Four Laws—

He accepted the explanation.

Mysterious Void Heaven.

Sanmu Zhenren followed Sangji into the cave, where they immediately saw a hazy white mist.

The pavilions and towers appeared and disappeared in the thick fog, radiating boundless celestial light.

Countless spiritual springs flow across the land, gushing forth streams of clear water, ranging in quality from low to high, encompassing everything.

"What a wonderful and magical place with a spiritual spring!"

Master Sanmu sighed in admiration.

"The master of this place should originally be a True Lord of the [Ji River] – the [Ji River] has four major meanings: birth, concealment, storage, and illusion – therefore it can also be divided into four palaces, sixteen halls, and sixty-four pavilions –"

The Dragon King, wielding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, spoke first: "This world seems to be guarded by a spirit. It won't appear directly before us; it must first clear away the restrictions and destroy the great formations in the outer pavilions and palaces before it finally shows itself—"

Neither Bai Ze nor Hei Ze will show themselves at this time.

After all, these Purple Mansion True Persons came here to fight the pool to the death, so they would definitely be killed the moment they showed their faces.

When the Golden Core techniques are unleashed, even a Divine Servant will be unable to withstand them.

The only option is to divide our forces to delay and defeat them one by one—using our own formations and Purple Mansions to deplete the opponent's Purple Mansions. If we can delay them for a long time, or even force them to use their Golden Core techniques on Purple Mansion True Persons, then we will have made a great profit.

How do you, the Purple Mansion Demon King, know so much?

Upon hearing this, Sanmu Zhenren's expression changed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist is quite right. We will each rely on our own abilities—"

Li Hu, holding the "Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword," agreed.

Since the Great Master Li Xuan and Kumarajiva were only there to reap benefits, they naturally agreed without hesitation.

"In that case, we will choose our own path—"

The Dragon King laughed, but in his heart he was thinking: "Many Purple Mansion True Persons are plundering like locusts passing through the land—that Bai Ze might not be able to tolerate it."

Although I am acting on the orders of the Dragon King, if I can complete the mission while ensuring my own safety, then all the better.

"Birth, concealment, accumulation, illusion?"

Sangji gritted his teeth inwardly: "This demon king who cultivates [Bi Yue] actually knows quite a bit about [Ji Shui]—"

Before he could speak, a layer of crystalline light appeared between heaven and earth.

Faintly accompanied by dragon roars and sword cries—

Suddenly, heavy snow fell, torrential rain poured down, and the sky darkened—while the figures in the Purple Mansion around them had vanished.

Only a broken voice transmission came through: "Be careful—that monster is using the power of its grotto-heaven to unleash a technique similar to a boundary-divine power, intending to defeat us one by one!"

"Remember this, everyone: only by destroying everything can we find a chance to live, and the spirit will come to us—"

The sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

Sangji and Kumarajiva exchanged a glance and saw a grand hall ahead.

They entered the hall with their hands clasped together, and there they saw a strange beast that resembled both a deer and a sheep, its entire body covered in black scales and with horns on its head. It looked like a Bai Ze, but also somewhat like a Mo Qilin.

Even more astonishingly, the surging light of the [Ji Water] rippled across his body, as if brewing wind and thunder, surpassing even the pinnacle of the Four Perfections, yet it emanated no supernatural radiance whatsoever. It seemed to have all gathered within his body, transforming into an unfathomable, deep spring—

"Greetings, Bai Ze, the Divine Servant!"

Sangji quickly bowed.

"You were sent by that person? One is only at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and the other at the late-stage?"

The black-clad Bai Ze's eyes gleamed with cunning and cruelty: "Fine—at least I can take two enemy lives—come here!"

His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the entire grotto.

Then, one after another, divine lights appeared.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that they were countless Purple Mansion spirits, most of them at the early or mid-stages of the Purple Mansion realm. Hei Ze, however, disregarded this, spewing out a cloud of white mist that transformed into endless colorful light, converging into four illusory figures: "This cave-heaven formation has four key nodes: 'Xuanji,' 'Ganlin,' 'Dafeng,' and 'Xiulin'—these four palaces each govern four halls and sixteen pavilions, each constituting a Purple Mansion forbidden formation. I have already deployed the invading enemy into these four formations; each of you choose one to intercept them!"

Sangji looked closely and found that the "Xuanji Palace" was occupied by Li Hu, a late-stage Purple Mansion Great Sword Cultivator, as well as several other rogue Purple Mansion cultivators such as Chi Gu.

The Great Wind Palace was occupied by the old Taoist Sanmu and Purple Mansion Sword Immortals like Zhang Yajiu.

A dragon is trapped in Xiulin Palace, and it has begun to spew out various kinds of mysterious light, destroying several pavilions.

In the final Ganlin Palace, the Great Master Wuxuan, dressed in an earth-yellow robe, cautiously explored the area.

"You, go and stop this dragon."

Kurosawa's voice was like thunder as he pointed at Kumarajiva!

Immediately, He turned His gaze to Sangji: "You, at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, choose your own path—"

Sangji felt bitter, knowing that in front of such servant gods, the Purple Mansion True Man was nothing but cannon fodder.

Since Master Lixuan has a past relationship with him, it would be better to choose the old Daoist Sanmu. At least he is just a rogue cultivator in the Purple Mansion, and he is of the Wood Virtue, so he can barely use the great formation to maneuver.

But at that moment, for some reason, he blurted out, "I'm willing to go to Xuanji Palace!"
