Zhuo Bufan fled into the City of the Wronged. Chu Xiu did not chase after him, letting him fend for himself.
At present, Zhuo Bufan was seriously injured. His physical body must have suffered a backlash from using a divine ability. He had also burned his Primordial Spirit. He was already a spent force.
Although the powerful ghosts in the City of the Wronged were all suppressed by Ning Xuanji, the ghost squads patrolling the streets were not easy to deal with. Whether or not Zhuo Bufan could walk out of the City of the Wronged was still unknown.
Chu Xiu walked back and sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed. This time, no one said anything. The entire place was silent.
In just a few moves, Chu Xiu had crushed a half-step Martial Immortal. In their eyes, Chu Xiu's strength was terrifyingly powerful.
Moreover, it was not only Chu Xiu. None of the others who were qualified to participate in the final ranking of the Exalted Divine Palace were easy to deal with.
The ranking of the Exalted Divine Palace this time might be the strongest in history. Even if it was not the strongest, it was still one of the strongest.
The others had long since given up thinking about it. They would just wait for the opening of the Exalted Divine Palace.
After another day, the Exalted Divine Palace shone with dazzling light. The Exalted Divine Palace, which originally did not have a door, opened with the power of the formation.
At the same time, an aged voice rang out, "The Exalted Divine Palace has opened. Enter the door and place in your token and soul crystals. The first six will be able to enter the Exalted Divine Palace."
This voice belonged to the Dao Ancestor. Most of the formations in the Exalted Divine Palace came from the Three Pure Temple. Thus, the Dao Ancestor could control the Exalted Divine Palace from the outside.
Everyone present looked at each other. Then, Chu Xiu and the others entered and placed their tokens and soul crystals into the door.
However, Chu Xiu only placed in ordinary soul crystals. He had kept the special soul crystals he obtained in the City of the Wronged. These ordinary soul crystals and tokens were enough for him to advance.
Aside from Chu Xiu and the others, a black-clothed cultivator also threw his Soul Crystal and token into the Mysterious Heaven Mirror.
However, after a while, Chu Xiu and the others all released a ray of light that enveloped them. Only the Mysterious Heaven Realm cultivator didn't. Instead, he was ejected from the portal.
The Mysterious Heaven Realm cultivator only shook his head gently and didn't show any frustration.
He had never expected to be able to enter the Exalted Divine Palace from the start.
As soon as Chu Xiu's group of six entered the Exalted Divine Palace, it was as if they had appeared in a bizarre world.
The surrounding was filled with the endless power of the rules, but it was imprisoned in a space by the array. Everyone could see it, but they couldn't touch it.
There were no decorations in the Exalted Divine Palace, only ten giant formations.
How big was that formation? It reached all the way to the top of the Exalted Divine Palace. Just one formation was several thousand feet long, and it was densely packed with runes that dazzled the eyes.
The formations here had been created by gathering the power of all the Daluotian formation masters ten thousand years ago. Only in this way could the passage between the two worlds be stabilized.
Of course, they could only stabilize the passage, but not the distorted laws of the outside world.
Dao Master Ding's voice resounded throughout the Exalted Divine Palace.
"Each of you choose a formation to cultivate in. The power accumulated in each formation is roughly the same, but there are also differences in strength. After entering, the formation will be completely sealed and will only open when the power inside is exhausted. Remember to act within your limits. Don't choose formations that overflow with too much power. "
Chu Xiu looked around and asked Fang Yizhen, "Brother Fang, there are clearly ten formations here, so why are there only six spots?"
Fang Yizhen explained, "Although the power accumulated in the formations can be given to us to cultivate at will, we can't overconsume it, so normally we should keep one or two.
However, while we keep one or two, we should also keep one or two for us to choose from.
Just now, Dao Master Ding said that one should act within one's strength when choosing a formation. If one rashly enters a formation to cultivate without sufficient power, it is very possible that one will be injured by the overflowing power.
"Thus, not every formation is suitable for cultivation. This is especially true for the formation in the center. Very few people would choose that formation because it overflows with the most power. Only those with exceptional talent who can contain the greatest amount of power would choose that formation.
"Brother Chu, for half-step Martial Immortals like us who want to make a breakthrough to Martial Immortal realm, it is fine to choose formations with more power. After all, a large amount of power is needed to make a breakthrough.
"As for a Martial Immortal like my senior brother, he instead needs formations with the weakest power. That's because he doesn't need to make a breakthrough. He only needs to accumulate power and cross the stable stage."
Chu Xiu nodded in understanding. "Thank you."
After saying that, Chu Xiu actually walked directly towards the array formation in the central region.
Seeing that, Fang Yizhen was stunned. Could it be that this Brother Chu is the person with exceptional talent that he thinks he is?
The others were obviously the same as Fang Yizhen and knew the inside story. They all looked at Chu Xiu with strange gazes. However, no one said anything.
Those who were able to reach this stage were not idiots. They all had their own considerations.
Since Chu Xiu was confident in absorbing the power in that formation, why would the others say anything?
Thus, after being stunned for a moment, the others also entered the formation and prepared to make the best use of their time to cultivate.
However, they did not know that the reason Chu Xiu chose that formation was because Jun Wushen might be on the other side of the formation!
Now, Chu Xiu already knew that the Gate of Heaven was the gateway through which people from the Lower Realm came to the Upper Realm. The nine Divine Generals and the master of the Gate of Heaven guarded the formation of the Lower Realm.
Previously, Xue Wuli had said that the formation would riot every once in a while. Chu Xiu guessed that the cause of the riot was either the accumulation of too much power in the formation, causing it to shake here and there, or it just happened to coincide with the opening of the Daluo Divine Palace and the movement caused by people entering it to cultivate.
The only difference was that the formation on the Daluotian side was constantly being maintained. Although the Gate of Heaven was also being maintained, it was obvious that the formation grandmaster of the Gate of Heaven was definitely not as strong as the formation grandmaster of the Three Pristines Temple. They also needed manpower to suppress it.
The nine Divine Generals of the Gate of Heaven corresponded to the nine formations. The one that the master of the Gate of Heaven corresponded to should naturally be the strongest one.
The enmity between Chu Xiu and the Gate of Heaven could be said to be irreconcilable. Back then, Jun Wushen's Seven Arrows almost took his life!
However, reason told Chu Xiu that even if he stepped into the Martial Immortal Realm, it was best not to find trouble with Jun Wushen.
Although he could not see through Jun Wushen's strength, in terms of aura alone, Jun Wushen was not inferior to Ye Weikong of Cold River City. In other words, Jun Wushen had the strength of a Sixth Heaven Martial Immortal, or even a Seventh Heaven Martial Immortal.
And this time, the Daluo Divine Palace was the time when Chu Xiu was most likely to seriously injure Jun Wushen and find the opportunity to destroy the Gate of Heaven. Moreover, there was still a strand of Yang Source in the Gate of Heaven.
As for the destruction of the Gate of Heaven, it would lead to the connection between the Upper and Lower Realms. Chu Xiu was already mentally prepared for this.
The Gate of Heaven would be destroyed sooner or later. After it was destroyed, the Upper and Lower Realms would definitely be connected. Therefore, before the connection, Chu Xiu had to make use of the geographical advantage to increase his own strength to a certain extent. Only when he had the upper hand could he make his move.
Now, the strength under Chu Xiu's command could be said to dominate the entire Lower Realms. Especially after Wei Shuya and Shang Tianliang left, it was possible for them to step into the Martial Immortal Realm. Excluding Dugu Weiwei, this kind of strength had even surpassed the Kunlun Devil Cult of five hundred years ago. Naturally, Chu Xiu had a lot less to worry about.
Therefore, seriously injuring Jun Wushen was only the first step!
He stepped into the formation. The formation outside had already been sealed, and in an instant, Chu Xiu was enveloped within it.
The powerful Qi of Heaven and Earth around him had even turned into a liquid state, enveloping his entire body within it.
Exhaling deeply, Chu Xiu began to madly absorb the power within the formation.
Regarding Jun Wushen and the Gate of Heaven, he had to think about it later. What he should do now was to make a breakthrough.
Extremely pure Qi of Vitality flowed into Chu Xiu's body like water. Not only that, within the Qi of Vitality, there was also some nomological power within it.
Here, Chu Xiu was extremely close to the most real place in this world, the place where the two realms connected, and also the place of origin of the world!
When that power flowed into Chu Xiu's body, it even caused Chu Xiu's entire body to swell up, making him look extremely dangerous. Chu Xiu's entire mind was already empty.
What was a Martial Immortal? A Martial Immortal was someone who transcended the mortal realm and reached the level of Heaven and Earth, or even the level of walking on the sky. This was a Martial Immortal!
Martial Immortals could rely on their inner strength to transform into flames and ice, because this kind of power originally existed in the world. Martial Immortals merely catalyzed it with their inner strength.
On the other hand, a Martial Immortal controlled the rules and changed the rules, causing fire to ignite in water, frost to fly in summer, and turning the impossible into the possible.
With regards to the Martial Immortal Realm, Chu Xiu had obtained a lot of experience from Heavenly Soul, and he had many comprehensions himself. At that moment, absorbing this power was like water flowing into a canal.
After Chu Xiu's body swelled to its limit, his body suddenly began to shrink. His power was restrained, and it suddenly exploded!
Traces of nomological power circled around his body, transforming into earth, wind, water, and fire. At that moment, Chu Xiu had become a Martial Immortal!
However, this was not the end. The Qi of the formation he had chosen was too rich. Even though it had supported him to enter the Martial Immortal Realm, it still did not dissipate. Instead, it actively flowed into Chu Xiu's body.
However, this was not a problem. Chu Xiu did not reject it at all. He madly absorbed that power, and his realm shot up to Level Two.
Fang Yizhen said that only gifted martial artists dared to try this formation.
He did not know whether Chu Xiu was gifted, but Chu Xiu was confident that his foundation was solid enough. His physical body was strong enough, and it was even stronger than some Martial Immortals. The power of his primordial soul had also improved after refining the Devil Ghost Soul Crystal.
Thus, after breaking through, his foundation was not unstable at all. He could even continue to absorb power and reach Level Two.
