Chapter 766
Qin Zichuan laughed when he heard this, thinking that the scene was interesting.
"One of the ten masters of the immortal palaces has a special situation. I have also heard my father talk about it. That is the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan. He has not appeared in the immortal world for thousands of years. It is said that he has been in seclusion, but my father suspects that he has had an accident and may have died."
"However, because Immortal Emperor Cang Yan is a loner and has little contact with other Immortal Emperors, he did not arouse suspicion. In addition to his personality, other Immortal Emperors did not know that Immortal Emperor Cang Yan had been injured once. My father suspected that the injury was serious and difficult to heal."
Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu were surprised when they heard this. They looked at each other, saw the excitement in each other's eyes, and then smiled.
Yuan Jing clapped his hands and said, "Now I know where we are going next. We are going to Cang Yan Immortal Realm!"
"You..." Qin Zichuan looked at them in surprise.
Yue Chenchu chuckled: "Let's go check first to see if there is still an owner of the fairy palace there. If not, we will go and sit there."
Qin Zichuan's mouth suddenly cracked to his ears. This was really great. He agreed wholeheartedly. Then he would have a friend who was the Lord of the Immortal Palace.
Yuan Jing stopped looking at the information. With Qin Zichuan as a living database, what else was there to look at? He pulled Yue Chenchu out and said, "Hurry up, we have to go back to pick up Grandpa and Xiao Jin Sanwei after this matter is dealt with."
Now they don't have to use the fairy shuttle to travel. Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu directly broke through the space of the fairy world and stepped in. Qin Zichuan followed them happily.
After several space transfers, they finally entered the territory of Cang Yan Immortal Realm, and then flew to Cang Yan Immortal City after touring the scenery of Cang Yan Immortal Realm.
Compared with the several fairylands they had seen before, the Cang Yan Fairyland seemed even more vast and ancient, with either overlapping mountains or endless grasslands, with fairy cities located in the middle.
Because of this reason, there are quite a few demon cultivators in the Cang Yan Immortal Realm. According to Qin Zichuan, there are also some powerful beast-taming sects. Of course, the demon cultivators in the Yun Huang Immortal Realm would definitely not stand for the actions of such sects, but whether it is the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan, none of them are strong enough to cover the sky with one hand in the Immortal Realm.
After entering Cang Yan Immortal City, because Yuan Jing and the others came with a purpose, they paid close attention to everything in the city, especially the city's management.
"Did you discover it?" Yue Chenchu asked.
Yuan Jing nodded and said, "The management is more chaotic than other immortal cities. It seems that the management personnel in this city are divided into several factions. Each faction is dissatisfied with each other and there is a sense of fighting and competing for superiority. This situation is either because the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan lets things go and never cares about how the people below fight, or he really got into trouble and the people below guessed it, so the situation of fighting for power and profit in the Immortal Palace became serious, affecting the people below as well."
Qin Zichuan said happily: "Although the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan is a bit eccentric, he is not a laissez-faire person. His decisions are never easily refuted by others. If he were here, he would definitely not tolerate such chaotic management. The most likely thing he would do is to replace all these people, no matter which side is wrong, and then replace them with a new group of people."
Yue Chenchu saw another scene of fighting, pointed over there and said, "Such an obvious situation, if we come here in person, combined with our understanding of the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan, will it be the truth that only we can discover? Will the other masters of the Immortal Palace have no doubts? Or do they actually have some guesses and have taken actions in private?"
Qin Zichuan became distressed: "I don't know about this, but my father must know something."
“There is no need to know more. Anyone who wants to fight for something can just come here. As long as you are recognized by the palace monument of the Immortal Palace, you will be the master of the palace. Unless you die or voluntarily withdraw, the Immortal Palace will welcome the second master.” Yue Chenchu looked in the direction of the Immortal Palace, not worried at all about the challenges he would face.
Yuan Jing felt the same and raised his eyebrows. Wasn't the Immortal Emperor Hanyue looking for them? She was welcome to come and provoke him, including those like the Immortal Emperor Ziyu. No problem.
Yuan Jing raised another question: "Actually, I have always wanted to know the answer to a question, which is when did the rules of the Ten Immortal Palaces come down? Or have these Ten Immortal Palaces always existed and were not set up by humans?"
Yuan Jing is more inclined to believe that it was a man-made setting for the convenience of managing the vast fairy world and preventing it from falling into chaos and internal strife due to the infighting of various forces. Although the setting up of the ten fairy palaces still cannot avoid conflicts, and there are conflicts and disputes between the masters of each fairy palace, these disputes have been constrained within a certain range, which is indeed beneficial to the stability of the fairy world.
In the fairy world history that they have read, the conflicts and wars between the fairy world and the demon world have never escalated, because the master of the fairy palace has the responsibility to protect the peace of the fairy world. Once the demon world crosses the border and causes a war, the ten fairy palaces have the responsibility to order the cultivators to stand on the front line against the demon world. In his opinion, no side in the demon world wants to provoke such a fairy world.
Qin Zichuan thought hard for a while, and finally dug out something from the depths of his memory: "I think my father mentioned it once when I was very young. Because it was so long ago, in the eyes of the immortal cultivators today, it seems that the Immortal Palace should have existed from the beginning, and it is natural."
"But I seem to have heard my father say that the Ten Great Immortal Palaces were a rule set by a very powerful person. At that time, he had ten followers who were equally powerful. He divided the Immortal Realm into ten regions and let each of these ten followers manage a region. This powerful person was above all the masters of the Immortal Palaces and could be called the master of the Immortal Realm."
“However, after that great man ascended to the divine realm, the first generation of masters of the Immortal Palace also left one after another. No one could be above the master of the Immortal Palace. Even powerful divine beasts like the Dragon King and the Phoenix King could not convince the other nine masters of the Immortal Palace and defeat them all.”
"My father seems to call that great man the Immortal Venerable. It's a respectful title for him. I don't know his specific name. Apart from him, there should be no other cultivator who has received such a respectful title."
Yuan Jing was amazed upon hearing this. If this was true, then this venerable must have been quite remarkable. Unfortunately, the time passed so long ago that few people in the fairy world could remember him now, and there was no way to get a glimpse of this venerable's demeanor.
Others didn't remember, but he thought that the ten masters of the Immortal Palace should know it. Since the Immortal Palace was left by that venerable, there should be such an inheritance in the Immortal Palace. Thinking of this, he and Yue Chenchu wanted to compete for the position of the master of the Immortal Palace even more.
Each of the ten immortal palaces is equivalent to a floating island, suspended above the immortal city, surrounded by immortal mist and looming.
Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu then hid their bodies and flew into the air, observing and studying the formation of the Immortal Palace. How could they enter the Immortal Palace without making any noise? If the Immortal Palace had an owner, their actions would easily be exposed to the eyes of the owner, so such actions were also to test the waters.
In fact, with Qin Zichuan's help from the Tianji Pavilion, they had a way to sneak into the Immortal Palace, but they wanted to try it themselves to see if they could break through the defense formation of the Immortal Palace with their current strength. If the Immortal Palace was passed down by that Immortal Venerable, they would also be able to understand how powerful that Immortal Venerable was.
Qin Zichuan stayed in the city. Knowing about the actions of the two, he was both excited and a little worried. What if his father made a wrong judgment?
But even if they are exposed, the two of them will be able to leave calmly. They took on the attack of Immortal Emperor Hanyue five years ago. Even if it was from a distance, five years have passed and their strength must have improved.
Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu circled the Immortal Palace once and gained a general understanding of the entire palace's protective formation.
Standing outside the Immortal Palace, looking at the situation inside, Yuan Jing said with emotion: "This formation is indeed integrated with the Immortal Palace. That venerable is indeed very advanced and has studied the formation. It is difficult to open a door in this protective formation and sneak in. Once it is moved, it will alert the people in the Immortal Palace."
Yue Chenchu smiled and said, "If it was the Venerable or the first few generations of Palace Masters, this would be true, but the Immortal Palace has changed countless masters. The Immortal Palace has been worn out and repaired during its long-term operation. It is almost impossible to be exactly the same as the original. Otherwise, the Immortal World would not have failed to produce a second Venerable Immortal."
Yuan Jing smiled at him. This was what Yuan Jing wanted to say. If the original owner of the formation and the fairy palace was here, it would be too difficult to enter without making any noise.
But now the Immortal Palace is worn out, and the Lord of the Palace may no longer exist, and other people in the Palace have not been recognized by the Palace, so they have a lot to gain.
So they studied for another two days, and finally they quietly opened a secret door in a protective array that had been patched by later generations. It was because the formation level of the person who made this patch was much lower than that of the original owner, which resulted in this patch not being able to keep up with the operation of the entire array. It was this stagnation that gave Yuan Jing and Yue Chenchu the opportunity to open a door in this patch.
After entering, the two men closed the secret door and hid, then flew inside.
As soon as you enter the Immortal Palace, you can feel the rich immortal energy coming towards you. The concentration of this immortal energy can only be compared to the small spaces in the Yuxu Mirror. No matter how thick the energy is in other places, it cannot be compared with here. No wonder many cultivators in the immortal world are trying their best to squeeze into the Immortal Palace. Even if it is just an inconspicuous position, many cultivators will come to compete.
Because once you can enter the Immortal Palace, no matter what your status is, you can enjoy the rich immortal energy. One day there can be equivalent to more than ten days or half a month of practice outside.
The two flew up to overlook the entire fairy palace. The scenery of the entire fairy palace was naturally superb, and the fairy palace was surrounded by fairy springs, as if a ribbon connected the entire fairy palace together. There were also countless exotic flowers and trees dotted around. The higher you went, the higher the grade of the fairy grass and fruit trees were. At the top, there were even seventh and eighth grade ones.
It is truly worthy of the name that it is a blessed place for spiritual practice.
The two of them carefully extended their soul power to approach the buildings of the Immortal Palace, from the bottom to the top, without rashly checking the situation at the top. There are still countless layers of formations and traps in the Immortal Palace, which can be triggered if you are not careful. Otherwise, it would be too easy to break into the Immortal Palace.
Yuan Jing suddenly pointed towards a building below. Yue Chenchu understood and sneaked over with Yuan Jing.
There were three monks talking in the building. None of them expected that there might be ears on the other side of the wall. They thought that since they were in the fairy palace and were on guard, it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
"Brother, do you think our ancestor can really succeed this time?"
"Yes, big brother, it would be great if the ancestor could succeed. Who would have thought that the Immortal Emperor Cang Yan has fallen? As long as the ancestor gets the recognition of the Immortal Palace first, then our ancestor will be the next Immortal Palace. By then, our Fan family will become the top family in this world, hehe."
The more the cultivator spoke, the more dreamy his expression became, as if he had already seen such a future. They would be complimented wherever they went. By then, the fairyland would have to change its name, and the fairy palace would become their Fan family. They would no longer have to stay on the lower level, but could go to the upper level, where the fairy spirit was stronger, and their cultivation would rise rapidly without much effort.
"It will definitely succeed, don't worry. But before the ancestor takes action, you must not let anyone see anything. You all have to be careful, okay? The ancestor has many competitors, so it won't be too late to be proud after the results come out."
The two younger brothers tied chains to their mouths: "Don't worry, big brother, we all understand. We only say this to you in private. When we are outside, we are still the same as before. We can hold it in for a while. Besides, among the several hall masters in our Immortal Palace, our ancestor has the highest cultivation level. Who else is qualified to sit in that position besides our ancestor?"
"Yes, yes, that's the reason."
Well, there is no need to explore further for this time. The Immortal Emperor Cang Yan is indeed gone, otherwise the Fan family would not have boasted so much.
The two did not continue listening, there was no need, and quietly returned to the secret door and left the protective formation through the secret door. The secret door was still there, as they might come in again next time.
These two are the only ones who can stroll around the Fairy Palace as if it were their own back garden.
After leaving the Immortal Palace, Yuan Jing sighed, "Qin Zichuan said that this Palace Master surnamed Fan is indeed slightly stronger than the others in the Palace, but his strength is limited. I guess he must have secretly planned this a long time ago. But can the other Palace Masters really sit back and watch them act?"
Yue Chenchu shook his head and said, "Definitely not. I guess they are waiting for them to make a move. The time for the show to begin should not be far away."
The two smiled at each other. They didn't need to be in a hurry and just had to wait for the show to begin.
Qin Zichuan also had good news. He wandered around the city and tried to contact the management of the Immortal City. From his contacts, he found that although these people tried hard to cover up, the atmosphere between them was becoming more and more solemn day by day. Moreover, there were many more strange foreign cultivators in the city who were asking for news like him.
