Chapter 419: Old Anchor, New Visitors
Originally Xia Lin still had doubts, but when the Primordial Lord gave a response, Xia Lin was relieved all of a sudden.
To reawaken the old days has always been the dream of the original dark side and the old masters, and it will never change.
If you savor it carefully, you will find that it also contains a hint of tragedy and an undertone of escape.
——The two lowest beings among the six pillars, unable to defeat opponents of the same level, can only indulge in their former supremacy and cannot extricate themselves.
Obsession has become a demon in the heart.
It's funny, but also true.
Just then, the Primordial Lord took a step forward and arrived in front of the South Heaven Gate.
This is one of the four major entrances to the Heavenly Palace. There is a flashing light on the door, and mysterious restrictions are engraved on it.
The Primordial Lord reached out and stroked it gently, a purple light flashed, and the mysterious restriction slowly collapsed. Finally, the entire South Heaven Gate was dissolved by the power of the Primordial Lord, and the gate to the Heavenly Palace was opened.
This Heavenly Palace is the most precious treasure of the Heavenly Creator, and all its restrictions are carefully crafted by the Heavenly Creator.
The power of this treasure must be incredibly strong.
However, without the personal control of the Lord of Heaven, no treasure could be a match for the Six Pillars themselves, and they would have little resistance in front of the Six Pillars.
After easily penetrating the gate of the Heavenly Palace, the Lord stepped inside, followed closely by Xia Lin and Cheng Lin.
Amidst the flickering light and shadow, the scenery in front of me changed dramatically.
The buildings and palaces are full of fairy-like charm.
Xia Lin's perception spread, but he could not reach the end of the Heavenly Palace.
This place seems to be an entire, vast flat world.
And this is only the first of the thirty-six floors of the Heavenly Palace.
Xia Lin looked around, momentarily intoxicated by the magnificent scenery of the immortals in the Heavenly Palace. However, the Original Lord did not care about these things, but just raised his hand and pointed to the sky again.
A purple beam of light burst out from his fingertips, easily tearing through the gaps between the levels of the Heavenly Palace and opening up a passage to the upper level.
Various restrictions began to fight back, but in front of the original master, they were just a breeze and drizzle, not worth mentioning at all.
He raised his legs again and walked towards the upper level of the Heavenly Palace, speaking slowly.
"You already know why the old universe was destroyed, so I don't need to mention it again."
Behind him, Xia Lin collected his thoughts and listened attentively.
Then the Primordial Lord continued, "After the creation of the new universe, everything changed. Everything in the past has been destroyed by the Immortal and Demon Emperors... but not everything in the past has completely disappeared."
"Besides us ancients, there are two things that have survived from the old days."
Xia Lin wanted to ask what the two things were, but soon he realized.
Because he had seen one of these two things with his own eyes.
"Demon Palace..."
Muttering these two words, the Primordial Lord nodded calmly: "The Demon Palace is one of them."
The Demon Palace, a thing of the past.
After the war between immortals and demons, the old Demon Palace was already in ruins. The current Demon Palace has undergone countless repairs, and it is unknown whether its essence has changed, but Xia Lin believes that the Demon Palace must still have some of its old elements.
Even a brick or a tile.
"And in fact, you have also seen the other thing, in the dark world."
The original master said this, causing Xia Lin to frown and think.
A light bulb went off in his head, and Xia Lin finally understood what the Primordial Lord had said.
"The planet between the Immortal Emperor's eyebrows..."
In response to Xia Lin, the original master laughed.
"Or maybe you've won my heart... You're smart and clever, and I need someone like you!"
He turned around, patted Xia Lin's shoulder, and nodded heavily.
"That's the planet."
"The Demon Emperor's hometown, the Immortal Emperor's second generation immortal realm, and Wuxin's birthplace."
"And the beginning of destruction!"
…
Memory returns to the first layer of the dark world: the old days reappear, the scene of the fierce battle between the two emperors of immortals and demons.
At that time, the planet that the Original Overlord mentioned was located between the eyebrows of the Immortal Emperor. It was the thing that the Immortal Emperor valued most, the hometown of the Demon Emperor, the root that the Immortal Emperor later found for himself, and one of the sources of hatred between the two!
This planet has always been protected by the Immortal Emperor at his brow. As long as the Immortal Emperor is alive, this planet will not be destroyed.
And the Immortal Emperor, He has never died!
Therefore, this planet has continued to exist into the new universe!
——Because the rules of the new and old universes are different, this planet cannot survive in the new universe?
If the Demon Emperor can protect the Demon Palace, there is no reason why the Immortal Emperor cannot protect this planet.
But few people really paid attention to the aftermath of this planet—perhaps with the exception of the Immortal and Demon Emperors, no one cared about what happened to this planet that spanned from the old universe to the new universe...
Because it doesn't matter.
"It's really not important." The Primordial Overlord muttered, then snorted coldly and shook his head: "It's just an ordinary planet with life."
There is nothing special about this planet itself. The reason why it is special is that the identities of the two masters, the Immortal and Demon Emperors, have given it special meaning.
After the creation of the new universe, life planets were born continuously, and the significance of this planet gradually weakened - especially for the Immortal Emperor!
"The Immortal Emperor is rootless. His roots, that is, the old world of immortal heroes, have long since died out, leaving not even a trace of them."
The Original Overlord said this, and his tone suddenly changed, becoming the sinister voice of the Old Overlord: "I destroyed it! That was my favorite collection."
Xia Lin: “…”
The Original Lord treated him well, but he never dared to follow him wholeheartedly, because of this.
What is the new original dark consciousness like? Xia Lin doesn’t understand it yet, so he doesn’t know. It looks pretty good at the moment.
But as for the Old Ones...this one is really no good.
If you hang out with him, you will be sold out by him. Not only is he not very smart, he also likes to use tricks all the time.
It is also difficult to tell who is currently in control of this original ruler...
The Primordial Overlord coughed twice and continued, "Later, the Heavenly Dao Creator occupied the Soul Controlling Demon Emperor's home planet. He was seeking a base for himself... This directly led to a deep blood feud between the Immortal and Demon Emperors."
"So this planet is the root that the Immortal Emperor found for his descendants. It wouldn't be a pity for him to abandon it... Can you understand the logic behind this?"
Xia Lin nodded gently: "Yes, it's very simple."
It's like a romantic who easily falls in love with a beautiful woman.
But when he saw a more beautiful woman, it was natural for him to fall in love with someone else.
To the Immortal Emperor, this planet is the beauty of the past.
After the establishment of the new universe, there are so many beauties (life planets), so the Immortal Emperor naturally does not need to bind his roots to the old planets. He can completely create a prosperous era of immortals and heroes in the new universe.
——That is, the current Luotian star field and other immortal star fields.
Thus, this old planet, which once held profound significance, no longer held much significance to the Creator of Heaven.
"Then, he used the Demon Palace as a reference and transformed this planet into a Heavenly Palace."
As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the top level of the Heavenly Palace.
The Primordial Lord stepped on the jade ground beneath his feet and said this.
"It's a kind of waste recycling, and also a boring souvenir."
…
So, when Xia Lin looked at the Heavenly Palace again, a different emotion arose in his heart.
"Is this the evolution of that planet from the old days?"
"Yes."
"From this perspective, the nature of this Heavenly Palace is similar to that of the Demonic Palace..."
"The foundation is pretty much the same, the refining methods are pretty much the same, the ideas are the same, how could they be similar?"
Xia Lin turned and looked at the Primordial Lord.
"Then the purpose of your trip..."
The Primordial Overlord shrugged: "Of course it is this thing."
After saying this, He continued slowly.
"Six pillars, the support of the universe."
"And the power properties of the six pillars are different."
"I, the original dark side, am the one most deeply bound to the old universe! After all, a part of me is all the negativity left over from the old."
“So my power allows me to do things that others can’t do.”
Xia Lin asked tentatively, "For example?"
"The old days are back."
Xia Lin is tired of hearing this word...
This is indeed the case - the original dark side seems to be good at tricks of reappearing in the past.
And this trick... is just that.
It's either fake or it's just for fun.
Perhaps sensing Xia Lin's hidden indifference, the Primordial Overlord spoke again, "And this time, it won't be a false reappearance of the past."
"After all, I have gained the soul and will, and can control the power of the original dark side in a targeted manner."
"And what lies before you and me, seemingly unimportant, is in essence a variant of the planet that was the cause of the Old Ones' destruction. I would like to call it the Old Ones' Anchor Point!"
Xia Lin was stunned, then suddenly realized.
The same skill, when performed by different people, will naturally have different effects.
Xia Lin realized that the reappearance of the past that the Original Lord was now referring to was probably completely different from what he had seen.
Before Xia Lin could ask in detail, the Primordial Overlord had already taken action.
Endless power spread out from his body, twisting the void and penetrating deep into the Heavenly Palace.
A large number of immortal runes suddenly appeared in the air - this is the internal underlying structure of the Heavenly Palace!
The Primordial Lord slowly closed his eyes, as if he was looking for something among these runes.
Xia Lin was puzzled by the actions of the Primordial Lord, but the Primordial Lord took the initiative to speak and explain to Xia Lin what He was doing at the moment.
“Reverse refining.”
"I need to extract that old planet from the current celestial palace so that I can use it for my own benefit."
This is probably similar to a kind of reverse refining - extracting the raw materials for casting the Heavenly Palace in reverse.
This is quite difficult.
"So I need some time."
The Primordial Lord said this, and then gave another instruction: "You can take advantage of this time to walk around the Heavenly Palace and get some of the things you need."
"But remember not to stray too far from Chenglin."
"Right now, I can't spare any energy. There are still quite a few remnants of the Heavenly Dao Creator within the Heavenly Palace, and there might even be outsiders entering... In short, if there's any danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there in time. But with Cheng Lin by my side, he can protect you."
Xia Lin nodded in understanding.
After taking a final look at the original master who was cracking the Heavenly Palace, Xia Lin turned and left, with Cheng Lin following closely behind him.
…
The Original Lord gave a rough outline of His plan, but it was only a rough outline.
He didn't say anything about when he needed Xia Lin to take action, or how big the impact of this round of reappearance of the past would be.
Xia Lin, I don’t care that much.
In essence, Xia Lin is not a saint who is compassionate to the world.
No matter how big a task the Primordial Overlord undertakes, he doesn't care as long as it doesn't endanger his life.
What's more, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls.
And at the moment, it seems that what the Original Overlord wants Xia Lin to do is not too difficult, and he is also very generous. Xia Lin has no reason not to cooperate for the time being.
Following the passage opened up by the Original Lord, Xia Lin arrived at the 11th floor of the Heavenly Palace.
What you see is still a fairyland scene, but there is no human habitation.
No one knows where the people in the heavenly palace are hiding.
After thinking for a while, Xia Lin summoned Scarlett and pointed.
"Your chance has come."
Xia Lin had two main purposes for this trip to the Heavenly Palace.
First: Get some Tiangong fragments to prepare for retrieving the Tiandao equation in the future.
Second: Flee the wool of the original master, collect the power of the six pillars, and cultivate the book of the spiritual world.
The second purpose does not require any operation and is currently being carried out fully automatically. The first purpose is Xia Lin’s main task.
But after arriving at the Heavenly Palace, Xia Lin set a third goal for himself: to create some opportunities for Scarlett.
If we say that Luotian Star Region and Luotian Sect are the base camp of the Lord of Heaven.
Then Tiangong is the base camp within the base camp.
It is widely rumored in the outside world that the Heavenly Palace is the true holy land of the immortals. The Immortal Lord created caves and established inheritance here, and the Creator of Heaven also left many secrets of the immortals here.
There must be some truth in the rumors.
Anyway, based on Xia Lin's limited knowledge of the immortal way, the concentration of immortal power in this place is richer than any other place he has ever seen.
At the moment, Scarlett's immortal realm is still at the late stage of the eleventh level of the celestial immortal, and she is only one step away from reaching the eleventh level of the immortal king.
Only after becoming an Immortal King could Scarlett begin to prepare for the twelfth-level Immortal Lord. It just so happened that Xia Lin still had a cosmic bug without any hidden dangers. It was not impossible to give it to Scarlett first to use it and train a twelfth-level servant.
Xia Lin, you really need a level 12 expert who is completely trustworthy.
Because this is the only way to bring out his current strengths!
Thinking of this, Xia Lin turned to Scarlett and said, "As for how many opportunities you can get, it depends on your luck."
Muttering this, Xia Lin had already started his fraudulent scheme.
Then an old dark side coexisted and shared the good fortune with Scarlett.
With good luck, inspiration comes naturally.
Scarlett looked towards the southeast and keenly realized that her destiny was right there.
Xia Lin lowered his head and looked down at his feet.
He was also blessed with strong luck.
But a mysterious premonition told him that if he wanted to get the fragments of the Heavenly Palace, he had to go down.
After a brief thought, Xia Lin touched the Book of the Spirit World and extracted a trace of the original power of hunger.
After handing it to Scarlett to use in solving the misfortune in ten minutes, Xia Lin spoke again.
"Let's split up. Be careful and let me know if anything happens."
Scarlett nodded slightly and headed southeast alone.
Xia Lin watched Scarlett go away, then continued diving with Cheng Lin.
Scarlett herself is a professional on the immortal side and can blend into the Heavenly Palace seamlessly, so it is not very dangerous for her to act alone.
On the contrary, Xia Lin, who is high on the wanted list of the Lord of Heaven, will inevitably be in great danger without Cheng Lin's protection.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Lin felt that he was too cautious.
The original master has already entered the scene. Even if these twelve-level Heavenly Dao Creators have the courage, they dare not make a fuss at this time.
As we passed through, nothing happened.
About a few minutes later, Xia Lin appeared on the first floor of the Heavenly Palace again and stopped.
The good luck was still on him, Xia Lin looked down at his feet, frowning slightly.
"This should be it."
"But, it doesn't seem to be anything special..."
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt a slight tremor, causing Xia Lin to take a few steps back.
At first he thought that this was the noise made by the Primordial Lord, but he soon discovered that the source of the vibration was not from above, but from below outside the Heavenly Palace.
The tremor did not gradually increase in severity, but instead gradually weakened and eventually disappeared.
However, soon, accompanied by a "puff", a big hole appeared in the floor of the Heavenly Palace, and a white snake head emerged from it. It actually shuttled through the void and did not go through the main gate. Instead, it broke through the barrier of the Heavenly Palace from the outside and completed the invasion of the Heavenly Palace!
As soon as the snake's head came out, it immediately exhaled air, as if breathing out.
The long air currents rolled around, freezing everything and bringing a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The chill soon subsided because he saw Xia Lin and Cheng Lin standing beside him.
The six of them looked at each other, and the situation became a little awkward for a moment.
But soon, there was another "puff" sound.
The second green snake head squeezed out from the side... followed by the third... the fourth... until the eighth!
A total of eight snake heads emerged from the not-so-big crack, and he crawled out of the cave and entered the Heavenly Palace.
Eight single heads with wings on their backs.
The power of elements fills the whole body. Even if one tries to restrain it, it still stirs up the rules and cholera in space and time.
"Well, let's just pretend we never had this meeting, okay?"
The eight-headed giant snake hissed and uttered these words.
After saying this, he ignored Xia Lin and Cheng Lin, flicked his tail, and disappeared into a flash of light, with no one knowing where he went in the Heavenly Palace.
It was not until the eight giant snakes flew away that Xia Lin turned around to look at Cheng Lin.
Then Cheng Lin didn't move, but just sighed deeply.
"Don't look at me. Why are you looking at me? I'm no match for him..."
"All I can do is report the situation to the adults. I can't do anything else."
Of course Cheng Lin could do nothing.
Because the one who sneaked in was the eighth soul of the Demon Emperor, Yaki Ibira!
The Dream Master described him as the most hopeless of the Demon Emperor's soul pets... but in the eyes of a Level 12 cultivator like Cheng Lin, he was completely out of his reach.
Xia Lin could only grimace for a moment.
He himself was not sure which side he was on, so naturally he could not assess whether Ibira's arrival was good or bad, and how he should proceed.
Just looking at the crack in the sky drilled by Ibira, the scattered debris attracted Xia Lin's full attention.
He was just looking for the fragments of the Heavenly Palace, and now they are here, right?
But I don’t know if these fragments are enough... Xia Lin instinctively feels that the more of these things, the better.
Just as I was thinking this, things took a turn for the better...
All I can say is that the current chaotic situation is more suitable for the use of strong luck.
The sword light suddenly flashed, tearing the crack wider.
As the sword light fell into the Heavenly Palace, it collapsed in an instant, revealing two people wrapped in the sword light.
A man was tall and majestic, with an imperial aura, but he was not the leader of the army. Instead, he was an acquaintance of Xia Lin.
Level twelfth under Chaoxing, King Lin, Zhou Xinglin.
He glanced at Xia Lin briefly, nodded to Xia Lin, and without paying any attention to Cheng Lin, he strode in a different direction from where Ibira left.
Xia Lin bowed respectfully, watched him walk away, and then looked at the other person.
Xia Lin was not familiar with this person, but he had seen his portrait.
He is young, handsome and full of vigor, full of romantic and chivalrous spirit.
However, his profession is contrary to his appearance and temperament.
The seventh son of the King of Kings, Wang Yanqing, the twelfth-level Lord of Hosts.
The Seventh Prince.
He tilted his head and smiled at Xia Lin.
"I know you. My father thinks highly of you."
Xia Lin said softly, "Thank you for the kindness of the King of Kings."
"But from the first glance I see, you're just average. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, weak, too weak."
Xia Lin: “…”
Perhaps due to the soul light, the sons and adopted sons of the King of Kings generally have a bad impression of Xia Lin.
The Fifth Prince is like this, and so is the Seventh Prince.
Fortunately, the Wang family members generally have high IQs.
No matter how bad his impression of Xia Lin was, he would not delay his important work for Xia Lin, a little guy who had just walked out of the Novice Village.
Like Ibira and Zhou Xinglin, he did not stay for long. He raised his hand to summon the emperor and flew away in an instant.
Cheng Lin behind him also completed the report and received orders from the original master.
"These three are not our jobs. The Lord will handle them personally."
Whether it is Ibira, Zhou Xinglin, or the Seventh Prince, they are all at the top of level twelve.
Compared with Chenglin and Lingbao, he is far superior. The gap between the two sides is comparable to that between Lingbao and the Three Kings of the Black Domain.
Without any skills, this group of people would not dare to come to the Luotian Star Region at this point in time, let alone go deep into the Heavenly Palace.
Cheng Lin was naturally powerless to do anything about this, and suing the parents was the best solution.
Xia Lin nodded in understanding and stopped thinking about the problems of these three outsiders.
He just stepped forward to collect the fragments of the Heavenly Palace that were shattered by Ibira and the other two, thought for a moment, and turned to look at Cheng Lin.
"Do me a favor and help me knock down some more bricks and rocks."
The Heavenly Palace is naturally solid and strong, and when it is intact, Chenglin cannot be shaken at all.
But now a corner has been broken, and Cheng Lin can continue to destroy it along this corner, so the difficulty will naturally be much lower.
Cheng Lin didn't hesitate and went forward to start working immediately.
"Brother, you are a good man."
"It's just the master's mission."
…
Eleventh floor of the Heavenly Palace.
Scarlett fled quickly and far away alone, flying into a mountain area with spiritual veins.
It was not until the lucky state was about to end that Scarlett seemed to sense something and stopped and fell down.
The immortal energy below was strong and everything was normal, but Scarlett keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Until the good fortune ended, Scarlett devoured the bad luck with the power of primordial hunger, and searched for several hours before she discovered a deeply hidden restriction.
The ban has been destroyed, but the traces of damage are still fresh.
After walking in cautiously and slowly for a moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Scarlett.
This scared Scarlett, but she quickly realized that the man had died and his soul had been destroyed.
Approaching carefully, a voice seemed to slowly ring in Scarlett's ears.
"My name is Soul Eater, I was an Immortal Venerable, but I died in the Great Calamity of the Origin, my body and soul were destroyed."
The Soul-Devouring Immortal Lord is one of the four great immortals under the command of the Lord of Heaven.
He was also the twelfth-level immortal who presided over the seal of the old master.
There are four immortal masters under the command of the Lord of Heaven: the Immortal Master Shengru of the Holy Confucian Sect; the Immortal Master Soul-Devouring and the Immortal Master Lingbao of the Luotian Sect; and the Immortal Master Soul-Binding of the Ghost-Controlling Sect.
Among them, the Immortal Saint Confucian and the Immortal Soul Devourer are both at the top of level twelve, and are considered the ultimate figures standing at the top of the main universe.
It’s a pity that it’s still a little bit lacking compared to the six pillars.
Soul Eater is a capable guy.
He was so close to the Primordial Overlord when he escaped from trouble, and finally he managed to run back to the Heavenly Palace.
However, the six pillars were killing people, and the twelfth level was unable to stop them. He was seriously injured and died here, and was removed from the list.
"I leave my inheritance here for those who are destined to receive it. I hope the inheritor will carry on my aspirations, make good use of the inheritance, be loyal to the Immortal Emperor, and revive the Immortal Way!"
A jade slip slipped from Soul Eater's hand and fell to the ground, causing Scarlett to be stunned for a moment.
It was also the first time that she experienced the joy of good luck.
