The Immortal Palace was still the same as the last time. It was towering, tall, and full of rustic atmosphere and mystery.
Compared with the last time, Zhou Bao's strength had increased greatly. His understanding of space and formation had also been greatly improved. Entering the Immortal Palace again and comprehending the Space Division Inhibition of the Immortal Palace benefited Zhou Bao a lot.
"The inhibition of the Immortal Palace is really unpredictable. If I can set up a complete Yin and Yang Dust Formation, maybe it will have a similar effect!" Zhou Bao entered the Immortal Palace with a wave of space fluctuation.
"It's a pity that my Yin and Yang Dust Formation still needs a lot of materials, so it can't be completely set up. Otherwise, I can build an airtight nest and even occupy the entrance of the Azure Secret Area. Hehe, I'm too ambitious. Stop being greedy, stop being greedy!" He thought to himself.
This time, in addition to Wang She, Earth Bat of Girl also came to the Immortal Palace with him. It was strange that Earth Bat of Girl had been behaving strangely after hearing that Ye Qingtian had a Taiyuan Token, as if Ye Qingtian was destined not to have a Taiyuan Token.
On the way, he did not say a word, not even a word. He was completely mute. Both Wang She and Zhou Bao felt very puzzled. However, this Earth Bat of Girl was usually very stubborn, so they did not ask too much.
When they arrived at the Immortal Palace, Elder Qing seemed to have already received the news. He stood at the gate of the Immortal Palace and waited for them.
Seeing the three people in the sky, a smile appeared on his face.
"It's about time for you to come. Every time Taiyuan Heaven appears in the world, it has a great impact. This time is no exception. After a thousand years of waiting and preparation, we have a much deeper understanding of Taiyuan Heaven. This time, there is bound to be a fierce fight. Many experts below the Mysterious Realm in the Seven-deity Regions are destined to die. I don't know whether you are ready or not!" Looking at the three figures flying in from the sky, Elder Qing sighed slightly, but forced a kind smile on his face.
"Greetings, Elder Qing!" The three people landed and bowed at the same time.
"Don't stand on ceremony. I already know why you're here. Taiyuan Heaven has reappeared. Zhou Bao, you're one of the people with great luck who has risen in this millennium. You can't get away with it. I just didn't expect Yan Yuntian to act so quickly and give you the Taiyuan Token!"
"Elder Qing is indeed a wise man!" Hearing Elder Qing's words, Zhou Bao's expression changed slightly. He smiled and said, "It seems that Elder Qing can solve my doubts."
"The doubts in your heart are only because you are too lazy and impatient. That's why you don't understand. If you had stayed in my Human Immortal Palace for a while longer, you would have understood everything now!" Elder Qing said with a smile, "You're a member of the Immortal Palace, the Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket of the 28 constellations. There's no reason for you not to know what everyone else in the Immortal Palace knows!"
"That's good!" Zhou Bao nodded with a smile. His fear of Elder Qing deepened because of his profound cultivation and improved eyesight. In the past, Elder Qing was very ordinary in his eyes. But this time, Zhou Bao sensed a vague and majestic Qi Power from him. This kind of Qi Power and strength is definitely not inferior to a Level Nine expert. "Zhou Bao thought to himself," Elder Qing is a Level Nine expert.
The interior of the Immortal Palace was vast and grand.
Last time, Zhou Bao did visit the lair of the Immortal Palace, but he did not really go deep into the core, the palace hidden in the mountains. But this time, Elder Qing took them directly to the palace.
It was indeed a palace, a dilapidated palace.
Although it was dilapidated, the primitive and desolate spirit from it did not fade with the passage of time. As time went by, it gave the dilapidated palace a new sense of beauty.
"This is the real Immortal Palace, and it's also the place where the major events of the Immortal Palace are decided. But it has never been used in the past 1,000 years!" Elder Qing led the three of them into the ancient and spacious hall. Standing in the center, he smiled and pointed at the thirty-two chairs in a circle. Since you are one of the twenty-eight constellations, you can have a seat in the thirty-two chairs. You can come and have a seat when you are free in the future. However, this hall is too big and it is a bit chilly to sit on it! "Elder Qing said with a smile.
Zhou Bao had long noticed these 32 chairs. They were 32 high-back chairs arranged in a circle. Among them, 28 were gray in color and of the same style. However, there was a pure black high-back chair in the east, south, west, and north, which was very conspicuous.
At the same time, Zhou Bao also found that the circle formed by the 32 high-back chairs looked like a round table meeting, but there was no table in the middle. Instead, there was a magic formation on the ancient bluestone floor.
"This is the place where the Immortal Palace holds meetings. However, as I said, the Immortal Palace hasn't held meetings for 1,000 years. I remember the last time we held a meeting was when Taiyuan Heaven came into the world. But you also know that the 28 constellations haven't been assembled for a long time. I remember the last meeting was less than half of the seats were filled!"
"Elder Qing, you've already known about it?" Wang She asked in a very respectful tone. This guy had always been a free and easy person, and he rarely behaved in such a way.
"How could I not know about it?" Elder Qing said with a smile. He patted him on the shoulder, walked slowly to the black high-back chair in the east, and sat down. "Sit down and take your time. This is also a meeting!"
The three of them smiled and found their own seats to sit down.
"Elder Qing, there's one thing that I'm afraid you don't know!" Earth Bat of Girl sat down and said, "Ye Qingtian has a Taiyuan Token. In this way, there will be one more Taiyuan Token!"
"Ye Qingtian? The young man that White Tiger mentioned? " Elder Qing was a little surprised, but he was not as shocked as Earth Bat of Girl. He just nodded slightly and said, "It's not strange. Ye Qingtian is a man of great luck. It's not surprising that he found an undiscovered Taiyuan Token. It's just three more people entering Taiyuan Heaven. It's not a big deal!"
"Elder Qing, don't forget the Millennium Promise!" Earth Bat of Girl reminded him.
"The Millennium Promise? It's just a smile. I've never taken it seriously! " Speaking of the Millennium Promise, Elder Qing sneered. "Several big sects think that they control the whole world. Do they think that they can decide what will happen after 1,000 years just by sitting down and chatting? They really think that they are the Great Ancient Emperors, let alone the Great Ancient Emperors! "
Even a deaf person could hear the disdain in his voice.
Earth Bat of Girl's expression froze and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. "Even so, Elder Qing, if they …"
"Is Ye Qingtian one of us?" Elder Qing interrupted him.
"No!" Earth Bat of Girl shook his head and said.
"That's right. Since he's not one of us, what does it have to do with us?" Elder Qing said with a faint smile, "Since they want to follow the rules, let's follow the rules. Although it's a little ridiculous, it's not easy to change the rules. Let's just wait and see. We won't be left out when we have a chance to get more. It's as simple as that. As for those who are plotting for more Taiyuan Tokens, it's none of our business. If they damage our interests, it's only right and proper for us to take action." Elder Qing said with a faint smile, "Since they want to follow the rules, let them do it.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Although Ye Qingtian is not one of us, he has a close relationship with White Tiger. If he intervenes, our Immortal Palace will inevitably get involved!"
"White Tiger knows what he's doing. Personal friendship is personal, and official business is official business. He won't mix it up. Otherwise, he wouldn't be White Tiger!" Elder Qing's words dispelled Earth Bat of Girl's worries. He put his hands on the armrest and stood up from the chair. "Bat, Wang She, you two go around first. I have something to say to Junior Leopard!"
"Yes, Elder Qing!" The two stood up at the same time. Without asking any more questions, they directly turned around and left, leaving Zhou Bao alone in the palace.
After they left, Elder Qing pointed at the roof. "I guess you've noticed it, too, right?"
"I noticed it as soon as I arrived!" Zhou Bao smiled and raised his head. There was a dome above the palace, which was carved out of a single boulder. It was heavy and steady, but if one looked carefully, it would feel out of place with the whole palace. In other words, it was not so perfect and seamless.
What surprised him most was that there was only one pattern on the dome, which was not complicated. It looked like a map, but it was different from the maps he had seen before.
There were seven main continents on the map, which were of similar size. The vast expanse of blank space outside the seven continents was obviously the Sea Area. Some islands of different sizes also appeared in the Sea Area, but they were much smaller than the main seven continents.
One of the continents that attracted his attention the most was the one in the east to the west, because one of its corners was very similar to the coastline of the Great Jin Dynasty.
"Is this … a map?" Zhou Bao asked hesitantly.
"This is the map of our world!" Elder Qing nodded and pointed at the map above his head. "This continent, which is the Jin Dynasty and the Central Plains, is called the Central Mainland Region because it is located in the middle of the Seven-deity Regions. The east, which is where the Li Dynasty is located, is called the Penglai Region. The north of this continent is called the Yingzhou Region, and the west is called the Fangzhang Region. Generally speaking, these four continents are located in the east of the Seven-deity Regions, so they are called the Three Western Regions and the Seven-deity Regions. As for the places outside the Seven-deity Regions, they are collectively called the Sea Area. The Sea Area is much larger than the Seven-deity Regions, but the population is much less prosperous than that of the Seven-deity Regions. It's not human beings who rule the endless Sea Area, but evil beasts."
Elder Qing glanced at Zhou Bao and said with a smile, "However, the Sea Area and the Seven-deity Regions have never interfered with each other. Unless there is a major event that concerns the whole world, the influences in the Sea Area will never come into contact with the Seven-deity Regions. The area within 10,000 miles of the coastline of each continent is also a forbidden area for all evil beasts in the sea. The Sea Area within 10,000 miles of the coastline is the territory of the Seven-deity Regions!"
Elder Qing introduced the general situation of the world in a few words. Seeing that Zhou Bao was looking at the map on the dome with a thoughtful expression, he did not say anything. No matter who it was, he would be absent-minded like Zhou Bao when he learned about the complete structure of this huge world for the first time.
However, he did not know that what Zhou Bao was thinking now was completely different from what he imagined. He thought that Zhou Bao would be shocked by the vastness of this world, but what Zhou Bao was thinking was, "Damn it, this world is so big. How big is the planet? It can easily be millions of miles. Damn it, it's not easy to travel around the world!"
After a while, when Zhou Bao's breath gradually calmed down, Elder Qing gestured for Zhou Bao to sit down and continued, "I believe you can see that the Jin Dynasty is only a small part of the Central Mainland Region. Even if Northern Yuan is destroyed, the area of the Jin Dynasty is still less than a quarter of the Central Mainland Region. However, it is the largest country in the Central Mainland Region. However, it is only in the Central Mainland Region. In the other six regions, there are many countries larger than the Jin Dynasty. The Li Dynasty in the Penglai Region is more than two times larger than the Jin Dynasty, but it is only one of the largest countries in the Penglai Region!"
"What does it have to do with me?!" Zhou Bao took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I don't have the ambition to unify the world, nor do I have the lofty aspiration to defeat all the experts and become the most powerful person in the world. Even if the world is ten times larger, it has little to do with me!"
"You can't say that. It indeed had little to do with you before. But now, the situation is different!" Elder Qing shook his head and looked at Zhou Bao thoughtfully. "It's the place where the nine dragon veins converge. If you can really pry open the dragon vein in your territory, at least you will have the great luck and destiny to rule the Central Mainland Region!"
"That's going to be a big problem!" Zhou Bao shook his head. "I just want to practice and live a long life. As for being an emperor, I'd better leave it to guys like Yan Yuntian!"
"My ambition is not here. That's a good reason!" Elder Qing said, "You have to understand that there are many kinds of practice. Among the 3,000 Great Ways, there is the Great Way of the Emperor!"
"That has nothing to do with me. Not to mention that I can't find the Great Way of the Emperor, even if I do, it's just like the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique that I practice. It's impossible for me to practice the Great Way of Stars!"
"You're still young, less than 20 years old. Don't you have any lofty aspirations?"
"Yes, of course I do. My ambition is to practice and practice. In the final analysis, I'm just afraid of death. My ambition is to live forever!"
"Hahahahaha …!" Elder Qing finally laughed wildly. "Live forever, live forever, this is indeed a lofty aspiration, one that surpasses everything. Well, since you've chosen this path, I have to remind you that since the beginning of the primordial era, no one has ever reached the end of this path, because no one knows where the end is. You should be mentally prepared for this!"
"Mentally prepared? Of course I am! "Zhou Bao blinked his eyes and said with a smile.
"That's good. Since you're not interested in the Great Way, let's talk about practice!" Elder Qing said, "The method of practice is based on the 3,000 Great Ways. There are 3,000 Great Ways, and all roads lead to them. This is a saying that has been passed down from antiquity times. However, even if you really find the 3,000 Great Ways, it's not easy to go through them. Otherwise, the 3,000 Great Ways wouldn't have been lost!"
"I understand that too. Immortality also means a path that will never end!" Zhou Bao nodded slightly. "But as the saying goes, 'Summer insects can't talk about ice'. A guy like me is not qualified to talk about immortality. Maybe I'll die in Taiyuan Heaven this time!"
"Oh? Die in Taiyuan Heaven? Why do you have such an idea? "
"Although I'm Yan Yuntian's son-in-law, his father-in-law can't wait for me to die in front of him. He suddenly gave me the Taiyuan Token for no reason. He's up to no good!" Zhou Bao said coldly.
"Taiyuan Heaven is one of the 33 Heavens in antiquity times. It's an opportunity for everyone to enter Taiyuan Heaven. Of course, there's danger, but it won't be as serious as you said. Immortals are not allowed to enter Taiyuan Heaven. That is to say, there won't be experts above the Mysterious Realm. With your current strength, those experts who enter Taiyuan Heaven won't be a threat to you!"
"There's such a rule?"
"Hmph, all the people in the Immortal Register are bound by the Law of Heaven. As long as your name is in the Golden Book, no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless. Unless you condense the Three Flowers and the Five Qis, the Law of Heaven will not be able to restrain you!"
"What does it mean to be an immortal?" Zhou Bao asked. He had asked Green Spirit about this matter, but Green Spirit was vague and deliberately hid it. He said that he would talk about it after Zhou Bao reached Level Nine. He was so mysterious, which made Zhou Bao very unhappy.
Elder Qing didn't mean to hide it. "The so-called immortal is when your name appears in the Golden Book of Fate!"
"Golden Book of Fate?"
"The Golden Book of Fate is a fairy weapon handed down from antiquity times. It's said that it's the manifestation of the Way of Heaven. In the world, all the experts whose cultivation has reached a certain level will trigger the Dharma of the Great Ways between heaven and earth. The Golden Book of Fate will also sense it and list your name in it. Once you're in the Golden Book of Fate, you'll be an immortal. As an immortal, you have to abide by the Law of Heaven. Otherwise, the Divine Tribulation will come immediately!"
Zhou Bao blinked his eyes with a puzzled look on his face. "Really? The Divine Tribulation will come immediately? Is it that serious? "
"Many people say that the way of practice is to go against the Way of Heaven. But in fact, it's the opposite. Those who go against the Way of Heaven have already been struck to death by the Way of Heaven. The real practitioners are just looking for the Way of Heaven. When you practice to a certain level, you'll understand something that's closely connected with heaven and earth. You'll become a part of heaven and earth and are closely connected with the whole world. The Way of Heaven is you, and you are the Way of Heaven. Your every move is closely related to the Great Ways of Heaven and Earth. To go against the Law of Heaven is to go against yourself. To make an inappropriate analogy, going against the Law of Heaven is like eating with your nose instead of your mouth.
"The Way of Heaven is related to the Golden Book of Fate. When we practice to a certain level, we'll be related to the Golden Book of Fate. In this way, we'll be related to the Way of Heaven. Once we go against the Way of Heaven, it's like slapping ourselves in the face!"
"Yes, you're really good at understanding. That's the reason!" Elder Qing nodded repeatedly after hearing Zhou Bao's words.
"So, it's not a good thing to be listed in the Immortal Register?" Zhou Bao had a strange look on his face. According to Elder Qing, being listed in the Immortal Register was actually to control the experts whose strength had surpassed the Mysterious Realm. It was a restriction, but it was not good for them.
"That's not it either!" Elder Qing said with a smile, "Being listed in the Immortal Register naturally has its benefits. The Golden Book of Fate is a marvelous fairy weapon materialized by the Great Ways. Once you're listed in the Immortal Register, you'll be able to sense the Golden Book of Fate, which will give you a Divine Sense according to your characteristics. Some people with strong fate may be given more Divine Senses. The so-called Law of Heaven is illusory and has few restrictions. It's almost like it exists in name only. The most important thing is that once you're listed in the Immortal Register, a little bit of your Original Spirit will be protected by the Golden Book of Fate. Except for a few Fairy Weapons of the Way of Killing or Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation, nothing can harm your True Spirit. Like you said, you can live forever!"
"Are you kidding me?" Zhou Bao said with a smile, "If being listed in the Immortal Register can really live forever, those mighty people in antiquity times will still be alive. Then what will happen to us? The Taiyuan Heaven and the Azure Heaven will not be ownerless! "
"How do you know they're dead?" Elder Qing said with a smile, "Even if they're dead, it might be because of the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation. Do you know how the Seven-deity Regions came into being? You should know that the Seven-deity Regions used to be a whole continent. It was a Killing Tribulation of Heaven and Earth in antiquity times. Immortals fought against each other and finally split the whole continent into the seven continents and countless islands. That was a Killing Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. It is not uncommon to die in it! "
"Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation?" Zhou Bao felt a chill in his heart when he heard these words. He felt the Demonic Fire in his Dantian jump, and then a chill of fear hit his heart.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhou Bao's strange expression, Elder Qing asked.
"Oh, nothing. I just felt something!" Zhou Bao shrugged and said insincerely.
