Chapter 453: The Old Demon with a Changeable Personality in Front of the East Palace
The moment the application was approved, three people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Tianxing Tower. One of them was from the Niling Blood Sect, and was Zhou Lingjun, a direct disciple of Man Gui Peak.
He was completely confused, not understanding why he was suddenly brought out from hiding on the first floor. Could it be that he had been stagnant for too long and the tower spirit couldn't stand it anymore?
The other two were cultivators from Huangquan Temple, one was a genius at the peak of the Jindan stage, and the other was an early Yuanying stage cultivator. It didn’t take long for them to end up like that.
He was crushed to ashes by the old devil Jiaoyang.
However, this time he had a trick up his sleeve and intentionally preserved the souls of both of them, using the secret soul-searching technique to forcibly extract their recent memories.
Without touching the fundamental inheritance of Huangquan Temple.
The soul-searching secret technique can still play a significant role. At least we know how Youmingzi will deal with it.
There are two unexpected ones.
The first was that he used the shattered jade ring as evidence and rushed out of the tower together at the critical moment to catch the old demon Jiaoyang off guard. However, even he himself did not show up, and it was obvious that something had gone wrong.
The second is to use secret methods to send messages to the children around the master of Huangquan Temple and the master of Liantian Demon Sect, using the excuse that there is a chance of becoming a god in Tianxing Tower, in order to attract stronger people to compete.
The former is a strategy of unity, but unfortunately the demon cultivators have never been able to use this strategy well. The latter is a strategy of annihilating the whole family. Once the Venerable comes, no matter how great the opportunity you have obtained, you must offer tribute honestly.
If it has been digested, that’s another matter.
"A bastard with a belly full of pus."
The soul search was completed, and the old demon Jiaoyang couldn't help but spit.
He didn't know how much Leng Gu had accomplished before his death. Plan one was fine, but he was afraid that plan two had already been implemented.
The old demon Jiaoyang looked uncertain, and after a long hesitation he said, "My dear Wang, please follow me into the palace. I will leave this damned Heavenly Star Tower to those dirty people and animals of the underworld."
Wang Yu said in surprise.
"Then you won't care about Jiufeng's personal disciple, Youmo, and Minghu Daoist Fellows?"
"The people of Huangquan Temple are coveting the opportunity of Tianxing Tower. They will not come out at the same time. Who lives and who dies depends on fate. This is a step they must go through to become strong."
Wang Yu remained silent, as for Fairy Bingpo and others.
There is basically no need to consider it. After all, they are all top masters among the great monks, and no one will die on their heads, so the old demon Jiaoyang can make the decision so quickly.
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, he can give up the opportunity of the Tianxing Tower because of a momentary decision for the sake of the Nilingxue Sect, and he can also put the opportunity before the sect and clan because of changes in the situation.
For the sake of opportunities in the palace, he ignored his fellow Taoists from the same clan and sect.
Wang Yu had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
It was difficult to judge the character of the old demon Jiaoyang through this brief contact, so I could only go along with what he said.
After all, Jiaoyang is indeed one of the forces he can rely on.
No matter how you look at it, the other party has no reason to harm him.
"Then let's do as Grandpa Liezu said. Zhou Lingjun..."
"Do not care."
Glancing at the confused young cultivator in the Cangzhu Formation, Jiaoyang casually threw him into the inner city of Dongjijing, turned into a blood-red light and carried Wang Yu straight to the palace.
He knew that Wang Yu had the token, which meant an opportunity to take the lead.
So measured.
Opportunity should come first.
Although Wang Yu preferred the Nascent Souls of the Huangquan monks, he was powerless, especially if a Divine Transformation monk really came.
It is indeed a good choice to explore the palace ahead of time while those people are still not out of the Tianxing Tower.
With the speed of the old demon Jiaoyang, it only took half a cup of tea for him to follow the main road of the palace city and fly low over countless buildings and palaces, like a stream of light running through a maze.
The imperial city of Dongjijing is the absolute core.
Not only are there buildings with the same regulations as those in the capital, but there are also Danbi, the main hall used for court meetings, the emperor's bedroom, the palaces in the harem, the royal villas... and so on, covering all aspects of life from work to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
They are all built according to the specifications of the capital. If I have the opportunity to visit the capital of the ancient fairy city in the future, this experience may come in handy.
The entrance chosen by the old demon Jiaoyang is called Donglongmen.
The walls of the imperial palace are not high, and their symbolic significance is greater than their practical significance, but the formations and prohibitions have never been vague and are all built to the highest standards.
The monks of the Immortal Dynasty pay special attention to the concepts of cycles and eternity.
Perhaps because they are tasked with permanently suppressing the ancient demon, when it comes to forbidden formations, they prefer the kind that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and operate spontaneously.
It would be even better if it had the ability to self-repair.
The formation covering the imperial palace was a very rare fifth-order formation, which Wang Yu found difficult to identify. However, the old demon Jiaoyang spoke with a very emotional tone.
"I've long heard that the ancient Immortal Dynasty used the [Nine Capitals Subduing Dragon Formation] to guard the Four Capitals' Imperial Palaces. Today, I saw that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. Even a Divine Transformation Master would find it difficult to break the fifth-stage formation."
No wonder those old guys are not in a hurry.
The last sentence only echoed in Jiaoyang's heart, and he said it was something that must never be said.
He is lucky.
Beside him is Wang Yu, the man who possesses the token.
"According to the strength of the Jiudu Fulong Formation, even if the idea of breaking the formation is correct, it will take a Divine Master more than ten days to open it. This period of time is our chance."
Wang Yu's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but say.
"How about I give you the token? I still want to wait for You Mo and Ming Hu."
"No, the token was given by the Heavenly Star Tower. If there are some rules that you and I don't know about that cause it to cancel its proper effect, it will be troublesome."
"Alright."
Approaching the East Dragon Gate, he placed the token on the spiritual shield, and it immediately opened up a path for one person to pass through like water. Wang Yu looked back and walked in first.
The scorching sun followed closely and turned into a ray of blood light, parallel to Wang Yu. The formation of the palace did not produce any unusual movements, which made him greatly relieved.
As long as you successfully get in, the next step is to select your target.
Jiaoyang asked Wang Yu.
"Young friend Wang, if you have a desired goal, why not follow me so that we can look after each other."
Wang Yu suddenly fell into deep thought.
The cultivators of this era actually had a very weak concept of dynasties. After all, it was the sects that ruled the world, and the lords of each spiritual city were sent by the sect that ruled the area.
Only the monks with high cultivation have some knowledge about the so-called ancient immortal dynasty due to the excavation of relics, but they cannot know in detail what functions each department has and what they do on a daily basis.
That is impossible. A major feature of monks' exploration of ruins is destructive development, and the focus is always on various treasures.
He is not interested in the culture, system, people's livelihood and other history of the Xian Dynasty.
Of course, the mysterious stone tablet that records the secrets of the Ice Prison Realm is an exception.
Theoretically speaking.
Somewhere in this palace, there must be a stone tablet left by a powerful person from the Immortal Dynasty. The secrets recorded in it are priceless. We should at least look for it and get a glimpse of the ancient truth.
The events leading up to the fall of the Xian Dynasty remain a mystery to this day!
"I want to go to the Human Emperor's Sutra Library to have a look."
Wang Yu’s answer surprised Jiaoyang a little.
"You want a normal inheritance of the God of Transformation?"
"Not really. I am very interested in some ancient knowledge, which seems to provide information about the upper world and the [Immortal Palace]."
“That being said, it is very important.”
The Immortal Palace is the culprit that transformed the Ice Prison Realm into an ancient demon prison. Now all the cultivators in the Ice Prison Realm actually have their bloodlines from the generals who were with the immortal who went down to the mortal world back then.
They are not native creatures of the Ice Prison Realm.
Wang Yu wanted to go to the Sutra Library to look up information from ancient times. It wasn't just an excuse he made up, but out of genuine curiosity.
After hesitating for a moment, the old demon Jiaoyang decided to divide his forces.
"For now, there are only you and me here. It may not be a bad idea to act separately. I want to go to the Longevity Medicine Storehouse to take a look.
"If you, little friend Wang, obtain any ancient secrets, don't forget to share them with the sect. They will all be converted into merits, and anything the sect has can be used as a reward."
Wang Yu nodded instantly and said with a grateful look on his face.
"Thank you, Grandpa Liezu, for your cultivation."
But as the two separated and the latter disappeared around a street corner, Wang Yu's expression quickly turned cold and he sighed expressionlessly.
The Longevity Medicine Storehouse. When the ancient human emperor collected resources from all over the world, he selected the best and placed all the rare and powerful spiritual objects in the medicine storehouse.
The protection level is definitely much stronger than that of the Immortal Official Medicine Storehouse.
But the harvest will definitely not be small, maybe the lowest will be fifth-level precious pills, and being able to harvest a few of them will be a huge reward!
But Wang Yu was not optimistic about the other party.
The protection of the Human Emperor's small treasury is stronger than the giant fifth-order formation of the imperial palace. Even with the Water Ancestor Order and the authority token, he dared not enter.
Afraid of dying in there.
The power and skills of the ancient human emperor must be much greater than his, and even Jiaoyang was unable to forcibly break through the formation of the imperial palace. This can be understood by doing some calculations.
The chance of Jiaoyang breaking into the storehouse of immortality medicine is less than one in a thousand.
The same reason.
Even if Wang Yu wants to enter the Sutra Repository, it is likely that it will not be opened.
As he pondered, his thoughts gradually became clear. He only had ten days to determine whether Leng Gu had managed to attract the God Transformation Master as planned and break those formations and restrictions that were too powerful.
It is very likely that nothing will be gained when the time comes, and if there is no notification, the Venerable Huashen will not come.
He will also have plenty of time to break through more powerful formation restrictions, so he will not lose out either way.
Therefore, what we need to see now is whether he has self-awareness or not.
Consider it carefully.
Wang Yu chose a subtle place—the East Palace!
The Eastern Palace is usually where the crown prince resides, and for an immortal dynasty, the Human Emperor is the most powerful and longest-lived cultivator.
Unless one day, he gets tired of being the emperor.
He wanted to try to be the ancestor, so he gave up his position to the prince. Therefore, the prince of the Xian Dynasty was in a very awkward position, being extremely powerful but without any real power.
He can be called the eternal prince.
Without a future, he would not get the support of the ministers, and he would not have the resources and energy to fix up his own residence. Therefore, Wang Yu felt that the East Palace was the most suitable place for him to break into within ten days.
As time passed, Wang Yu avoided the green lion stone sculptures that suppressed evil along the way and successfully arrived in front of a magnificent golden hall.
This is the East Palace.
It was more solemn and elegant than Wang Yu had imagined, but it was much smaller in size. It was not even as large as the Queen's Pepper Room and was quite neglected.
When trying to enter, he was indeed blocked by the formation restrictions.
Wang Yu touched his lower back, took out a necklace full of storage rings, picked one from them, and the countless trophies of "Breaking the Forbidden Talismans" he obtained rushed out like a dragon.
The lowest grade is level three.
"--break!"
