Just as Gu Changqing was about to leave this place to look for trouble in the outside world, he suddenly turned around and became very interested in the palace here.
Why would such a magnificent palace be hidden deep in the clouds?
Could it be that some secret is being hidden?
Even if there are no secrets, there should at least be some rare treasures.
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing's curiosity was piqued. He stopped and suddenly moved, heading into the palace.
The palace gates were only slightly ajar, which allowed Gu Changqing to enter with ease.
Upon entering, Gu Changqing immediately saw that in the main hall, towering stone pillars, as thick as pillars of heaven, supported the roof, engraved with many ancient and simple patterns, exuding an ancient and wild aura.
An unexpected thing happened. Gu Changqing glanced at the deepest part and was surprised to find that it was completely different from what he had imagined. There was no wall in the depths of the hall, but an exit. In the misty clouds, a golden corridor was revealed at the back.
Visually, it looks as if the main hall has a back door.
The corridor was a series of stone steps that rose to the sky, each step made of exquisite pure white marble, one step leading to the heavens.
Visually, it appears to lead to the top of the sky.
Gu Changqing became even more interested.
Could this be a ladder to heaven? It seems there must be treasure at the top!
“Hehe, host, such a wonderful place must have treasures at the top. Shall we go up and take a look?” Greenie’s voice suddenly rang out.
"Isn't that obvious? Go up and take a look!" Gu Changqing said.
Without hesitation, Gu Changqing moved through the main hall and arrived at the back door. He then took a step, preparing to ascend the Heavenly Ladder.
Suddenly, an old figure rushed in from outside the hall, loudly advising, "Senior, you can't go up there! It's extremely dangerous inside. If someone goes up, they'll be crushed into a bloody mist in one careless move!"
Um?
Gu Changqing turned around and immediately saw an old man with white hair and beard rushing towards him, his face full of worry.
This old man was none other than the one who had witnessed Gu Changqing's entire ordeal.
"Why? Is there some great terror here?" Gu Changqing frowned and asked.
"Senior, you may not know this, but I have been sitting here for 30,000 years. I have long suspected that there is a treasure above, and I have tried countless times to find it, but each time I have failed..." The old man shook his head and sighed bitterly.
Gu Changqing quickly understood that the old man's Taoist name was Tianlong Daoren. By chance, he discovered this place, but as soon as he stepped onto the stone steps, his entire right leg exploded into pieces.
For some reason, there was a terrifying pressure on the Heavenly Ladder, like a terrifying magnetic field, far beyond what a Celestial King could withstand. He had tried countless times, but he could not get in at all. Once he stepped into the passage, his bones would be crushed.
He suspected that this place might be a Dao palace built by some ancient powerful beings, otherwise it would never be so terrifying.
The Primordial Era is an era even more ancient than the Ancient Era. It was a time when experts were as numerous as clouds, powerful beings were everywhere, Immortal Emperors were commonplace, and Immortal Kings were as insignificant as dogs.
Having understood the reason for the matter, Gu Changqing was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled faintly, stroked his chin, and said with a playful smile, "Hehe, is it really that powerful?"
Daoist Tianlong exclaimed in astonishment, "It's that powerful! You have to believe me!"
Gu Changqing didn't say anything more, and took a step forward, instantly stepping onto the Heavenly Ladder.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended, like the mighty power of heaven, a divine might that suppressed the heavens.
Caught off guard, Gu Changqing's spine bent over suddenly, and his bones cracked and popped.
"Senior!" Tianlong Daoist exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Changqing burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that's great! That's exactly the feeling I've been looking for!"
With a sudden wave of his hand, his terrifying Quasi-Immortal Emperor cultivation erupted, and in an instant, his whole body shone with golden light. All around him, countless rays of light and auspicious colors appeared, and endless celestial phenomena surged and roared, surging and turbulent!
With a burst of strength, he straightened his chest!
At the same time, the Six Divine Armor was activated with a "boom", and many ancient golden runes appeared on the surface of the armor. One after another, they were as vivid as ancient tadpole characters, flowing endlessly and surging, providing him with the ultimate defense!
Gu Changqing straightened his back and strode forward.
“This…” Tianlong Daoist was dumbfounded.
First order.
Two-stage.
Third order.
...
In the blink of an eye, Gu Changqing had walked up a thousand steps without breaking a sweat or getting out of breath, as if nothing had happened!
This height is something that Tianlong Daoist would never have dared to imagine. My God, he couldn't even take a single step up back then. He never expected that such a formidable person would appear now.
Who is this senior, and why is he so terrifying?
While he was pondering, in a short moment, Gu Changqing had already walked halfway and soared straight into the blue sky!
"Holy crap, awesome! I concede defeat!" Tianlong Daoist bowed respectfully, completely convinced.
Suddenly, a few whooshing sounds rang out, as if someone had entered.
When Tianlong Daoist turned around, he immediately saw seven or eight figures riding divine rainbows, breaking through the void as they arrived.
Among these people were an ugly young woman, three burly men, and the others were elderly men with white hair and wearing black robes.
These people landed in front of the steps in the blink of an eye, staring blankly up at Gu Changqing above, their eyes wide with shock!
"How...how can he be so powerful?"
"Holy crap, is this real?"
"My God, I've never seen such a formidable person in my entire life!"
These people were all in seclusion here, ranging from Quasi-Immortal Emperors to the peak of Immortal Kings. They were all drawn over when they sensed the commotion.
The golden-haired Quasi-Immortal Emperor in the crowd had been in seclusion for 100,000 years. His golden eyes were as deep as a furnace of heaven and earth, and as vast as a boundless ocean of the sun. A powerful aura emanated from his body, as exciting as the ancient starry sky. He had been incredibly powerful all his life, able to pluck stars and seize the moon with a flick of his finger. He was incomparably strong, but at this moment, he was also completely stunned by this scene.
After a long while, they looked at each other, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes!
Such a formidable person, terrifying indeed!
You should know that even their strongest golden-haired quasi-immortal emperor couldn't step onto the steps, yet that young man was completely unharmed.
Holy crap, is this for real?
For a moment, the scene fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
A moment later, just as the ugly woman was about to say something, one of the men suddenly realized what was happening, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "Are you just going to stand by and watch him take the treasure?!"
