第三千九百六十四章 宫殿

At this moment, there was no trace of the old and withered appearance on his face. His vitality had returned to its peak.

Standing casually, he exuded an ethereal aura that seemed detached from the world.

With a snap of his fingers, the sound of cracking bones filled his ears as golden electric arcs subtly circled around him. Behind him, several faint shadows emerged, each one reaching an extraordinary level of strength.

"Not bad, not bad. This physical body is far inferior to my previous immortal form, but after preliminary refinement, it can still muster about a third of my former power. Dealing with such a minor spirit realm entity should be more than enough."

"Halyzed Immortal, hmpf. He was never on good terms with me back then. But this old monster's strength is indeed terrifying. If not for his interference, how could the Blue Star Sea have ended up in the mortal world? However, he must have long since perished. I didn't expect a small fragment of the Immortal Realm to still exist."

"Hmph, as this old monster’s esteemed abode, there should be some treasures left behind. If it were any other time, I wouldn’t care, but now, I urgently need to restore my strength. So, I might as well explore this place."

"Perfect, I can also eliminate that Lin boy at the same time and repay a favor to his physical body's owner." The Heavenly Essence Marquis laughed heartily.

For some reason, he felt an intense aversion towards Lin Xuan upon seeing him. This feeling was indescribable.

However, given his strength, there was no need for further investigation. Since it felt wrong, he would simply kill that Lin boy. Although the Heavenly Essence Marquis had performed well in their battle, how could he compare to this ancient true immortal?

With a smile on his face, he cast a spell and suddenly saw a light screen before him. The screen shimmered with light, transforming into a magnificent palace.

"Hmph, this is where Old Halyzed resides. Let me see what treasures are hidden here."

The Ancient True Immortal sneered, then retracted the spell as his figure blurred. In an instant, he appeared on the horizon.

Transcending the Void!

The laws of nature in this place were vastly different from elsewhere, and Lin Xuan could not comprehend them. However, they posed no hindrance to him.

At the same time...

"Is this where Halyzed Immortal's abode is?"

Lin Xuan looked at the buildings before him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The pavilions and terraces were densely packed, and the structures that caught his eye were resplendently golden, exuding an aura of grandeur. Even the imperial palace in the mortal world could not compare to this.

Such a dwelling was something Lin Xuan had never seen before, which explained why he felt surprised.

"Indeed, as the ancients have said. But I've never been here."

Mu Qing's respectful voice echoed through his ears.

Since entering a thousand miles from this palace, they had not been attacked again, just as the woman had said.

Lin Xuan nodded without speaking and released his divine sense to examine the buildings before him.

For some reason, he felt uneasy at that moment.

But outwardly, there was nothing strange about the palace.

Lowering his head slightly, Lin Xuan activated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye.

"Ah, I see!"

After a moment, Lin Xuan sighed. With his current strength, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye had reached an advanced stage, capable of perceiving all illusions in the world, even rivaling the legendary King of Birds.

The palace was indeed there, but it contained something else. If he were to enter rashly, he would be trapped by a fearsome array and face eternal peril.

Fortunately, he possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye!

Lin Xuan's forehead was drenched in cold sweat; true immortals' abilities truly surpassed those of ordinary cultivators.

"Miss Qing, I cannot bring you into Halyzed Immortal’s abode. Since there is no danger here, you may wait for me."

Lin Xuan's voice was calm and composed.

"Yes!"

The woman had no objections and nodded submissively: "Then I will wait for you here."

"That is good."

Nodding, Lin Xuan said, "Take care and be cautious. When I return, I won't let you down."

"Thank you, senior."

Mu Qing smiled broadly as she swept her sleeves. She had only led the way for Lin Xuan; if this senior gave her some benefits, it would surely benefit her for life.

"No need to thank me!"

Stepping forward, Lin Xuan arrived near the palace. He took a deep breath and directed his magical power towards his eyes, causing silver light to flare up. His pupils turned into brilliant colors as mysterious energy radiated from them.

The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye was derived from phoenix abilities but had more than just the ability to see through illusions. Once it reached its advanced stage, it would have other useful effects.

Of course, the consumption of magical power was immense; ordinary Golden Transformation cultivators might not be able to use it.

Lin Xuan was different.

He waved his hands, casting a series of spells from his fingertips while muttering obscure incantations. As he moved, two silver light beams shot out from his pupils and spiraled into the air, forming a Tai Chi symbol.

Layered arrays seemed to emerge from above.

This was not yet over.

Lin Xuan brushed his sleeves, and a clear ringing sound echoed as a silver flying sword appeared before him.

Thin like butterfly wings, it seemed to emit all of existence when swirled.

Needless to say, this was another illusion. The Nine Palaces Talisman already had an illusory attribute.

"Combine!"

With a loud shout from Lin Xuan, the miraculous Tai Chi symbol began to rotate slowly. It enveloped the illusory sword, creating a bright sphere that stood out starkly.

Lin Xuan's face showed intense concentration; after all, this mysterious array was set up by a true immortal. Even with his confidence in his own strength, he could not afford any carelessness or negligence.

"Quick!"

Raising his right hand, Lin Xuan pointed it forward with extraordinary seriousness.

Snap!

The light sphere burst open as the Nine Palaces Talisman reappeared, and all the light was absorbed by the sword like a whale sucking water.

The Nine Palaces Talisman dimmed, but more accurately, it became simple and unadorned. A hint of法则力量 seemed to缠绕 around it.

Lin Xuan did not decipher the laws of nature here; rather, this was an inherent attribute of the immortal sword itself.

"Break for me!"

With a loud shout from Lin Xuan, the sword slashed at the palace's door.

Snap!

A breathtaking scene unfolded as the door was not broken by that shocking strike. In fact, it showed no signs of even a crack. (To be continued...)
