The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's words did not surprise Xiao Chen; he had expected this long ago.
However, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady had only said a few words. It was hard to tell whether she was hiding anything or not. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's expression also indicated that she was not willing to say more.
This made it hard to judge. Xiao Chen thought to himself for a while before saying, "Sure, but you have to help me obtain the Cycle Arts."
"Cycle Arts?" The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady entered deep thought. After thinking for a while, she could not recall such a secret manual for the Cycle Arts.
Just as Xiao Chen revealed some doubts, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said, "I remember now. That is a Cultivation Technique that my martial granduncle obtained by chance. However, it seems to be an incomplete copy. Even my martial granduncle did not manage to practice it. Are you sure you only want this?"
In that case, there was no mistake. It was similar to the information that Xiao Chen obtained. The Cycle Arts was indeed an incomplete copy. Only by possessing the Cycle Arts and the seven thrones, comprehending seven different states, could one truly succeed in cultivating the Cycle Arts.
No matter how one cultivated, one would not be able to comprehend the state of cycle just by relying on the Cycle Arts.
One needed to comprehend the seven states, refine the thrones, and use the Cycle Arts together. However, since ancient times, no one had managed to collect all seven thrones and obtain the Cycle Arts at the same time. Hence, no one had truly cultivated the state of cycle.
"That's right. I only want the Cycle Arts. The other treasures in this Immortal palace have nothing to do with me."
Xiao Chen's Dao heart was decisive, only seeking the Cycle Arts.
"Although the Immortal palace is nearly empty after so many years, there are still many great treasures. As far as I know, there is a Universe Origin Fruit that just matured. "
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady played it down and said calmly, "It is just an incomplete copy of the Cycle Arts. If you can help me stop that group of Immortal Cultivators, consider the Universe Origin Fruit as a gift from me."
Universe Origin Fruit?
Naturally, Xiao Chen was interested in it after hearing the hemp-robed old man mention it. However, compared to the Cycle Arts, it was secondary.
"I hope that you will keep your word. However, I have some doubts. The people who came to this Mirage Immortal Palace are all experts. In terms of strength, there are many existences that are stronger than me. Why did you choose me? "
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady narrowed her eyes as she stared at Xiao Chen. She said sullenly, "Because I cannot see through you. You are not a Martial Emperor yet, but you have one thousand strands of Primordial Energy. Your cultivation is comparable to that of an Eighth Heaven Martial Emperor, Emperor Wu."
"He's clearly a Martial Cultivator, yet he's also a Celestial Cultivator. He's even reached the Soul Transformation Realm. Furthermore, he's using many secrets that even I can't see through."
Xiao Chen was shocked. This woman was truly powerful. With just a glance, she could see through so many of his secrets.
"One last question. With your strength, do you still need my help?" Xiao Chen's eyes were like torches as he stared at the woman, hoping to find some clues from her face.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady shook her head gently. "I can't explain too much to you. No matter how strong I am, I cannot attack anyone in this world."
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll believe your explanation for now. I promise you, and I hope you'll keep your word."
"Come with me."
The illusion vanished, and the dazzling palace turned dilapidated again. Xiao Chen discovered that he was still sitting on the broken throne. However, he had fallen for the other party's illusion without him realizing it.
He could not help raising his guard. This woman's illusion was too strong, simply incredible.
Xiao Chen leaped up from the throne and landed beside the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. Then, he followed her and quickly moved through the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
Along the way, they passed several large halls and stone rooms. With a quick glance, they discovered many supreme treasures protected by strong restrictions.
These treasures had not melted even after a million years. There were even piles of corpses in front of the supreme treasures. They must have died in the restrictions.
This made one's heart tremble. Their greed slowly cooled, and they regained their rationality.
Of the various halls, there were Pill Pavilions, herb fields, blacksmithing halls, and many cultivation rooms for the Heavenly Profound Sect's seniors.
Many of the cultivation rooms had murals with traces of the Dao lingering in them. This was probably what Feng Xiao was searching for.
However, it was not easy to enter. The cultivation rooms of the elders all had many ancient restrictions and mechanisms.
As Xiao Chen advanced, he felt that he was following the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady into the depths of the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
After asking around, it was indeed so. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's corpse was in the deepest layer of the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
As they went deeper, Xiao Chen felt the cold Qi grow increasingly heavier. At the same time, the Immortal Qi also grew denser.
This was very strange. Celestial spiritual energy should give people a very comfortable feeling, but the Celestial spiritual energy here was especially cold.
Xiao Chen guessed that the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady had purposely set this up to cultivate the Ghost Immortal Dao.
"How fast! This group of people actually already reached the ninth floor."
When the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady arrived at another entrance and saw the broken restrictions, her expression changed slightly. Below the entrance should be the deepest layer of the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Xiao Chen could not help feeling curious.
What was the scene of the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's closed-door cultivation back then?
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady continued, "You cannot enter from here. They will discover you. I'll bring you in from another entrance."
Before Xiao Chen could react, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady quickly left. Xiao Chen thought about it. The two Immortal Venerates were shrewd and experienced people. Based on the restrictions they left at the entrance of the hall, it was clear that they had some backup plans.
Xiao Chen quickly followed the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady and left. After a while, he followed the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady to the next floor.
There was an unremarkable old well in this side hall that had been sealed for a long time.
"Split it open."
Xiao Chen did as he was told. Along the way, there were many restrictions. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady had pointed out the method, and Xiao Chen had taken action.
This was enough to show that the other party was under some kind of restriction and could not make a move.
"Bang!"
The well cover was lifted, and a pungent stench wafted out. Xiao Chen squinted and saw a pool of blood in the well. When the turbid Qi scattered, the blood became clear and transparent, giving off an ethereal feeling.
"What is this?" Xiao Chen found something unusual. The blood in the old well was not ordinary.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady recalled the past, and her expression became complicated. She said sullenly, "This is the Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring that I refined back then. Jump in, and you can swim to the next floor."
"Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring! This woman is really ruthless and vicious. Xiao Chen, you have to be careful. "Little Three, the Item Spirit in the Three Life Mirror, suddenly warned Xiao Chen.
"What's wrong? What's so special about the Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring?"
"I can't explain it to you now. In any case, just be careful of this woman. Don't get bewitched by her." Little Three did not want to explain too much, only warning Xiao Chen to be careful of the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady.
Xiao Chen glanced at the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped in.
The blood spring was extremely cool. Xiao Chen held his breath and focused as he swam down the well.
--- At the same time, in the ninth floor, Immortal Venerate Ming Yue and Immortal Venerate Tian Yi led ten-odd Immortal Cultivators. Breaking one restriction after another, they kept advancing. Every time they broke a restriction, this group of immortal cultivators would set up a restriction of their own.
After breaking many restrictions, the Immortal Palace's ninth floor finally revealed itself to these people.
As far as the eye could see, the ninth floor was an incomparably vast blood-colored lake. Countless white flower petals floated on the surface of the lake, with lanterns in the center of the petals.
The white flower petals clustered around a black coffin in the center of the lake.
Blood, white flowers, lanterns, and coffin.
The atmosphere of the entire ninth level was extremely strange. It was empty and cold, and there was nothing but a blood colored lake.
There were also the thousands of white flowers and the inextinguishable lanterns accompanying the lonely coffin.
"Master, the legend is true. These petals are Hell Void Flowers, and they burn with the Extreme Yang True Flame."
An Immortal Cultivator said excitedly, unable to hold back his excitement.
Yin and Yang could not merge. However, the Ghost Immortal Dao moved between Yin and Yang, needing to merge the two.
The Hell Void Flowers represented extreme Yin energy. The Extreme Yang True Flame burning on them was the only Yang-attributed flame that could burn on the Hell Void Flowers.
Immortal Venerate Ming Yue looked at the coffin and sighed softly, "This Heavenly Profound Holy Lady was truly magnificent back then. To think that she managed to think of such an ingenious method of merging Yin and Yang. I am ashamed of my inferiority."
As Immortal Venerate Tian Yi looked at the vast scarlet lake, he sighed as well. "This pool of blood should be the Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring. Such a feat is unprecedented since ancient times. No one else can do it. Her boldness to pursue the Immortal Dao is also much greater than the two of us. "
These two were Immortal Venerates, the strongest Immortal Cultivators in the world. As they looked at this pool of blood, they were deeply impressed.
If the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady were here, these two would definitely cast aside their dignity and beg her to take them in as a disciple.
