Chapter 1097: Cosmic Immortal Palace
"My Lord is here. Where is the Dao Monarch of the North Star Immortal Palace? Why have you not swiftly come out to kneel and welcome him?"
The Horned Dragon Dragon Lord didn't even bother to acknowledge the Palace Master of North Star, who was merely an Immortal. Immediately, he let out a long roar.
The sound of the dragon's roar pierced straight through the nine heavens!
The Immortals exchanged stunned glances, their hearts filled with an unspeakable shock.
The aura of this Horned Dragon was already enough to shake eternity. What kind of majestic existence must its master be?
Soon, an Immortal Monarch flew out from within the North Star Immortal Palace.
He was clad in a Robe of Ten Thousand Stars and wore a star crown on his head. His face seemed veiled by a layer of starlight. The moment he appeared, it sent a tremor through Ling Changsheng, Lu Qing Yun, and the other star-Guards.
Yet, at this moment, this Dao Monarch of the North Star Immortal Palace bowed without hesitation: "Jiang Qing Yun of the North Star Immortal Palace respectfully greets the Dao Venerable. . ."
'The one who came, is he truly a Dao Venerable? I've heard that Dao Venerables are incarnations of the Great Dao, possessing all sorts of inconceivable divine abilities and magical power. I wonder if it's true or false. . . '"
Lu Qing Yun lowered his head, not even daring to release his spiritual sense, as he secretly muttered to himself.
Suddenly, the hairs on his body stood on end. He felt an ineffable gaze sweep over from the Eight Treasures Fragrant Carriage, landing directly on him.
'A Dao Venerable. . . cannot be thought about. . . '"
Lu Qing Yun knew his frivolous nature had almost led him to commit a grave mistake. Immediately, he activated a secret spiritual sense technique to sever the thought he had just entertained, not daring to leave even a trace, even if it meant damaging his own sea of consciousness. . .
Only after completing all of this did he feel that gaze shift away. His back was already drenched in cold sweat.
...
Fang Xi's gaze lightly swept over a minor cultivator, before landing on Jiang Qing Yun.
"Jiang Qing Yun, do you know why this Venerable One has come?"
Jiang Qing Yun could not see the figure within the Eight Treasures Fragrant Carriage; he only knew that the opponent's aura was terrifyingly immense.
After all, he had never truly seen the true body of a Dao Venerable. On previous occasions, Dao Monarchs had merely arrived bearing a Dao Venerable's decree, and he would respectfully accept the command, not daring to disobey.
"You handle matters far too slowly. This Venerable One can barely tolerate it any longer. . ."
Fang Xi cursed lightly: "Where is the Reincarnation Dao Monarch now?"
"Please, Dao Venerable, forgive this junior. . ."
Jiang Qing Yun inwardly grumbled with bitterness, yet he was utterly helpless.
The Palace Master of North Star and the disciples of the North Star Immortal Palace each felt their hearts sink, unsure of what to do?
'Actually, the Dao Venerable's attention has already shifted away for who knows how many years. . . '
'But that doesn't stop me from applying some pressure. '
Fang Xi thought with a hint of amusement.
No ordinary Immortal could imagine that the Reincarnation Dao Monarch now possessed the strength of a Dao Venerable, nor could they imagine that he would dare to swagger back so openly.
'If you want to find the Reincarnation Dao Monarch, he'll have to be willing to surrender himself. . . '"
He smiled faintly and said, "You North Star Immortal Palace truly handle matters ineffectually. You should have been wiped out by the Ascension Alliance long ago!"
As these words left his lips, even Jiang Qing Yun's expression turned ashen!
"However, this Venerable One will simply deliver a minor punishment as a warning. I will now strip you of your sect's mountain gate and the 'Immortal Cleansing Pool'. These Starry Guards should also be placed under the control of this Venerable One's mount."
Fang Xi asked: "Do you. . . accept this?"
"This junior. . . is utterly convinced and accepts it wholeheartedly."
Jiang Qing Yun felt his chest tighten, as if he was about to vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.
To have his ancestral foundation seized by a single word from a Dao Venerable was naturally unbearable.
But if he did not endure it, the North Star Immortal Palace might be annihilated.
As for the other Dao Venerables?
Perhaps at first, they might pay a little attention, but by now, they had long since disregarded it. . .
Since no clues about the Reincarnation Dao Monarch could be found in the North Star Immortal Domain, the importance of the North Star Immortal Palace had drastically decreased. . .
Even if another Dao Venerable came knocking, Fang Xi would only need to deflect them to the North Star Immortal Palace.
In any case, the Dao Venerables merely needed someone to search for clues.
As for who this 'tool person' was, there was no fixed outcome.
"Good."
Fang Xi stated: "Since that is the case, you North Star Immortal Palace should relocate. . ."
With a single word, he seized the foundation of a Dao Monarch.
Such was the might of a Dao Venerable!
...
Ling Changsheng and Lu Qing Yun felt that what had happened today was simply astounding, leaving them speechless.
First, a Horned Dragon Dao Monarch arrived, and the North Star Immortal Palace faced him as a formidable enemy.
Then, when the Dao Venerable appeared, the North Star Immortal Palace actually conceded defeat entirely.
They even had to respectfully hand over themselves and their prosperous family foundation.
'So the True Immortal World isn't much different from the cultivation world; it's all about the strong preying on the weak. . . '"
Although they had long known this principle of the cultivation world, seeing the North Star Immortal Palace, which held a higher status than them, fall into misfortune today filled their hearts with secret delight.
...
The North Star Immortal Palace moved swiftly.
After Fang Xi spoke, they almost tripped over themselves in their haste to relocate.
The North Star Immortal Palace!
This Immortal Palace was not located on a continent, but rather on a star high in the sky.
This star was immensely vast, with a large population of mortals living upon it, even forming nations, all revering the North Star Immortal Palace as their master.
Outside the Immortal Palace, it was further protected by a tenth-tier grand array.
Even the Azure Cloud Dao Monarch of the Ascension Alliance back then was helpless against it.
Once the grand array was activated, its interior could even self-sustain, allowing it to remain sealed for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, with ease!
This time, the North Star Immortal Palace's relocation appeared very rushed. However, they still used void artifacts to take away a large number of mortals. These were the descendants of cultivators within the Immortal Palace, and the most loyal source of new blood.
Naturally, Fang Xi had no interest in them.
In addition to that, the tenth-tier grand array was also dismantled by Dao Monarch Jiang, who utilized his divine ability to remove its array cores and take them away.
The array diagrams and array-suppressing items for such a formation were almost equivalent to more than half of a Dao Monarch's entire fortune, and represented the accumulated foundation of the North Star Immortal Palace over countless years.
"Senior, please. . ."
Ling Changsheng led Fang Xi, reverently guiding the way ahead, and giving him a general tour of the 'North Star'.
The most important part, naturally, was the 'Immortal Cleansing Pool'.
"Immortal Cleansing Palace?"
Fang Xi arrived at a certain spot on the star, in front of a palace that was entirely snow-white.
The design of this palace was ancient. It seemed not to have been built by the North Star Immortal Palace, but rather inherited from predecessors.
"This is the 'Immortal Cleansing Hall'. . . It has stood here since ancient times, rumored to have been built by a Dao Venerable, and has been occupied by several Dao Monarch-level forces throughout history. . ."
Ling Changsheng gazed at the jade-like palace, his heart also filled with immense emotion.
He himself had once walked out from this very palace, carrying the beautiful hope of ascending to Immortality, and then. . . there was no 'then'. . .
The past was truly unbearable to recall!
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Fang Xi arrived at the 'Immortal Cleansing Hall' and immediately saw an unusually thick light screen outside.
The Horned Dragon Dragon Lord stepped forward and swept his sleeve.
The original light screen immediately shattered into pieces, transforming into countless white specks of light that vanished.
A flight of white jade steps appeared.
Fang Xi stepped inside, and it wasn't long before he arrived at the main hall.
Within the hall, there was only a pool of water, from which immortal qi permeated, forming a misty aura, coalescing into a layer of semi-transparent liquid. Within it, countless void runes subtly churned.
At the bottom of the pool was an array, upon which numerous void array patterns were densely inscribed.
'This type of array, connecting to the Earthly Immortal World and many other Middle Thousand Worlds, even ordinary Dao Venerables might not be able to set it up. . . '"
Fang Xi glanced at it and immediately felt a sense of awe.
However, with his current attainments in void techniques, if he were to further comprehend these array diagrams, he should be able to set up another one.
But as the saying goes, the spacetime node for a teleportation array is also very important.
For the many Middle Thousand Worlds below, this place was the best node.
If it were randomly relocated, and the array master setting it up wasn't of a high enough rank, there might be omissions.
Leading to ascended Immortals either being directly swept into a void storm or appearing in various other places.
"Ascending from the lower realms is rather interesting. . ."
Fang Xi glanced at Ling Changsheng and said: "These Star-Guards will temporarily be under your command. Their treatment will remain as usual. . ."
Of course, he wouldn't show leniency for these ascended Immortals and expose his own origins.
Things would remain as they were before.
"Yes. . ."
Ling Changsheng agreed, but a bitter smile formed in his heart.
Now that the one above them had been replaced by a mysterious Dao Venerable, it would be even harder for him and the others to escape this place.
"Little Dragon. . ."
Fang Xi walked out of the Immortal Cleansing Hall and suddenly let out a soft chuckle.
"Does my Lord have any commands?"
The Horned Dragon Dragon Lord appeared extremely respectful.
"Since I have taken control of this place, it should have its name changed. . ."
Fang Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let this star be called 'Cosmic Star'. This place shall be my residing abode—the Cosmic Immortal Palace!"
...
North Star Immortal Domain.
Ever since the Reincarnation Dao Monarch attained the Dao, turmoil had been continuous.
For instance, recently, an Earth Immortal whose reputation had soared appeared, rumored to be in the form of a child, known by the nickname 'White Child'.
This White Child had, somehow, offended the Purple Majesty Dao Child of the Tongtian Palace, allegedly killing several of his subordinates, which prompted the Purple Majesty Dao Child to offer a bounty, causing many long-established Immortals to be tempted, and seek out the White Child to try their luck.
After all, the Tongtian Palace was an extremely ancient Dao Venerable-level force!
If they could make the other party owe them a favor, it would naturally be beneficial and harmless.
However, that White Child was no ordinary individual either. Not only was he an Earth Immortal, but he also possessed several powerful immortal artifacts, and the secret arts he cultivated were not to be underestimated. . .
Yet, all of this excitement was overshadowed by the latest news—that the North Star Immortal Palace, hegemon of the North Star Immortal Domain, had actually been forced to abandon its mountain gate, with its Dao Monarch fleeing far away!
The various large and small forces in the North Star Immortal Domain had initially thought this was merely a joke, but after waiting for a long time, and realizing that the North Star Immortal Palace had not come forward to refute the rumors, they were horrified to realize that this matter might actually be true!
Defeating a Dao Monarch, perhaps even powerful Dao Monarchs could accomplish, but merely by meeting once, to make that Dao Monarch abandon his ancestral foundation, was clearly something no Dao Monarch could achieve.
For a time, the entire North Star Immortal Domain couldn't help but recall the terror of when the Reincarnation Dao Monarch had attained the Dao back then.
That occasion could be called a great calamity for all Immortals, as ancient forces of the True Immortal World appeared one by one, sending their successors into the world, and their influence continued to this day.
From time to time, local powers would be annihilated because they had offended these disciples of Dao Monarchs and Dao Venerables!
For a time, an untold number of gazes filled with awe and reverence fell upon the 'Cosmic Immortal Palace'.
On this day.
Fang Xi was currently sitting in a cross-legged position, when his expression suddenly shifted, and he looked beyond the Cosmic Immortal Palace: "They've finally arrived, have they?"
Today, there will only be two updates.
