The tens of thousands of kilometers of sea area looked calm and tranquil, without even the shadow of a ghost to be seen. However, Tan Xiu and Star Tears were very cautious and didn't rush to leave the edge of the mountain forest. Instead, they restrained their auras and conversed in a low voice while watching the sea.
Soon after —
Four figures appeared on the coastline. One of them was a stooped old man with a walking stick. He exuded a thick aura of lethargy and was obviously close to the end of his lifespan. Among the three people beside the old man, there was an old woman with a head full of silver hair and two young men.
"Dala?"
Tang Xiu and Star Tears exchanged glances with each other and looked surprised. They both knew the old man and were well aware of his identity. Dala was the Grand Elder of the Tuo Tuo Sect and was more than 16,000 years old, even older than Star Tears.
More than 8,000 years ago, Dala had broken through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage, yet he had yet to step into the Supremacy Stage for the next 8,000 years.
"Dala's lifespan is coming to an end," said Star Tears in a low voice. "The opening of the Secret Palace of Drunken Immortal Supreme's inheritance might be his last chance. His lifespan will double if he can get a chance to help him break through here. But if he can't, it won't be long before he passes away and enters the six paths of reincarnation to start a new journey in life. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Dying is like an extinguished lamp. He'll be reincarnated again with a new identity and memories. It's like saying goodbye to the past. Unless a Supreme powerhouse takes action and sacrifices a millennium of his own cultivation to help him enter the lower level of the six paths of reincarnation in the pocket world, only then can he preserve some of his memories. "
"There are very few Supreme powerhouses in the Immortal World nowadays," sighed Star Tears. "Each and every one of them is trying their best to transcend the tribulation and become a God. Who would be willing to sacrifice a millennium of cultivation to help him? Huh? Where are they? "
Star Tears and Tan Xiu watched as Dala's group of four flew forward and disappeared into thin air as they flew over the sea.
A glint flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes and he stared at the sea for a quarter of an hour before he suddenly said, "I know a lot about the Secret Palace, but I haven't carefully studied the situation here since it's my first time here. It seemed that entering the sea was equivalent to entering a brand new array. Let's go in as well. Perhaps we'll be able to see a different scene after we enter. "
"Alright!"
Star Tears nodded slowly.
When the two of them appeared on the coastline, Tan Xiu's Divine Sense spread forward. In the blink of an eye, he reached out and grabbed Star Tears' arm. Then, he quickly passed through a layer of energy barrier. It was as if another world had appeared out of thin air before their eyes.
The surface of the sea was still calm, but countless bolts of lightning would strike down from the sky from time to time. Every time a bolt of lightning struck, it would cause ripples on the surface of the sea.
However …
Above the sea, a total of nine bridges that were 100 meters wide extended into the deep sea. The bridges were in the shape of stairs, extending forward and upward. Even with the eyesight of Tan Xiu and Star Tears, they couldn't see the end of the bridges. It was as if the nine bridges had extended into the distant sky.
Thousands of Golden Immortals and Perfected Golden Immortals stood at one end of the bridge, watching the backs of the 900 Golden Immortals and Perfected Golden Immortals on the long bridge as they walked forward step by step with difficulty.
"A Domain Bridge."
Upon seeing the scene, Tan Xiu secretly sighed inwardly. He was able to figure out the situation here through the contents of the entire array space he had obtained. He knew that this was a test and also the second test to obtain the inheritance. If he could pass this Domain Bridge, he would have the opportunity to enter the floating island and arrive at the Drunken Immortal Palace.
"Let's go!"
Tan Xiu touched Star Tears' arm and then came to Dala's side without anyone noticing. Although he noticed that the three people around Dala looked vigilant, he didn't care about it. Instead, he deliberately put on a curious look and asked with a smile, "What's the situation here, Senior? We came here inexplicably, so why is everyone gathered here? And why are there people walking slowly on the bridge? Can't they just fly away? "
Dala turned his head and looked at Tan Xiu in surprise. He didn't rebuke Tan Xiu given his mild temperament and instead explained with a smile, "This is the Potential Space. There are a total of 90,000 Path Guides in the entire Secret Palace, and anyone who gets one can find this place. The end of this long bridge is where the Drunken Immortal Palace is located. Only by passing the Potential Space's test can one reach the Drunken Immortal Palace and obtain the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme. "
"The inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme is here?" Tan Xiu was surprised. "What about the other places …"
"The other places are naturally the first test left by Drunken Immortal Supreme. Only by surviving the other places and finding the Path Guide can you come here," said Dala with a smile. "However, Little Friend sure has good luck. You didn't find a Path Guide and somehow came here. Maybe you can get a big opportunity here, Little Friend!"
"You must be joking, Senior," replied Tan Xiu modestly. "I just came here to join in the fun and find some treasures to make a small fortune. I'm not looking forward to the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme. "
Dala was surprised. He had lived for a long time and could naturally distinguish the falsehood of others. This young man in front of him definitely didn't care and didn't look forward to it from the bottom of his heart, which was something he didn't expect. After carefully looking at Tan Xiu a few times, he asked, "How should I address you, Little Friend?"
"Great Tang Heavenly Emperor," answered Tan Xiu with a smile.
"…"
Dala didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Tan Xiu. He had a good impression of this young man. It was really interesting for him to dare to address himself as "Heavenly Emperor" at such a young age. He couldn't judge Tan Xiu's cultivation, but his guess was wrong. This young man in front of him was probably a Golden Immortal at most.
However …
His purpose of coming here this time was to obtain an opportunity from Drunken Immortal Supreme before the end of his lifespan. Therefore, even though he was a bit curious about Tan Xiu, his eyes still shifted to the long bridge and fell on the 900 Immortals who were working hard to climb the bridge.
"Master, the Goldenwing Sect has produced an amazing peerless genius! He's able to firmly occupy the first position among the 900 Golden Immortals and Perfected Golden Immortals, and even left the second person behind by nearly 100 meters. He should be ranked in the top three among the third batch, right? "The burly middle-aged man next to Dala couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed." Dala nodded and said, "With his aptitude, it's likely that breaking through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage will be a piece of cake if he doesn't fall in a short period of time. As for whether he can break through to the Supremacy Stage or not, it's hard to say. However, the second person, Canopy True Monarch, is also quite good. Although he's not as dazzling as the peerless genius of the Goldenwing Sect, he's still a very powerful figure among the Perfected Golden Immortals. As far as I know, he just broke through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage less than a millennium ago, no? "
"Yeah, more than 800 years." The burly man nodded and said, "There are 120 Perfected Golden Immortals among the 900 Golden Immortals and Perfected Golden Immortals, but Canopy True Monarch is indeed the strongest among them. It's just that he doesn't want to pledge allegiance to any sect and relies entirely on himself to constantly explore and work hard. It's very difficult to have a smooth journey on the path of immortal cultivation! "
"If I didn't have any background and completely relied on my own hard work, I might have broken through to the Supremacy Stage by now." Dala forced a wry smile.
Tan Xiu, who stood beside the two men and listened to their conversation, felt a bit of admiration for Dala. He knew that Dala was right. Having a smooth journey on the path of immortal cultivation was not only not beneficial to oneself, but also greatly disadvantageous. The path to immortality was arduous. Only by going through hardships and comprehending the Heavenly Dao could one carve a bloody path and rush to the supreme Supremacy Stage.
For example, his predecessor was once the Young Master of the Rosefinch Holy Sect. He was absolutely favored by all and had a smooth sailing life and didn't know the immensity of the Heavens and Earth. In the end, he encountered a little bit of danger and ended up dying. From then on, his body was occupied by him. Later, he gave up the protection of the Rosefinch Holy Sect and traveled everywhere in the Immortal World like an ascetic cultivator. He fought again and again and grasped a slim chance of survival from desperate situations. Only then did he soar and finally become a powerhouse in the Supremacy Stage.
Tan Xiu secretly took a deep breath and quickly took out a jade slip. He engraved a pill refining formula into it and then secretly stuffed it into Dala's hands.
"Huh?"
Dala gently turned his head and looked at Tan Xiu with a bit of surprise on his old face. He found that Tan Xiu didn't look at him but was paying attention to the 900 Immortals on the long bridge. Immediately, a wisp of his Divine Sense entered the jade slip.
"This is …"
Dala's body trembled, and his eyes burst out rays of light. When he quickly put the jade slip into the interspatial ring, he sent a voice transmission to Tan Xiu. "Thank you, Fellow Immortal."
Tan Xiu replied. "Since it's fate that we meet, there's no need to thank me."
Dala took a deep look at Tan Xiu. When his eyes shifted back to the Immortals on the long bridge, the shock in his heart still hadn't calmed down.
"The Supreme Pill formula."
"If a late-stage Perfected Golden Immortal can take a Supreme Pill, the chances of breaking through will increase by 30%. Everyone knows what this 30% increase in probability means. "
"Originally, I only had 30% confidence, and it's precisely because of this that I see the Supremacy Stage has always been far away. But with the Supreme Pill formula, I can refine the Supreme Pill and increase my chances of breaking through to the Supremacy Stage to 60%. 60% is my limit and also the dawn of a breakthrough. Even if I can't get the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme in the Secret Palace, I still have a chance. "
"This favor is too heavy, too heavy."
"Who is he?"
Dala wanted to ask about the other party's identity, but he could see that the other party didn't intend to tell him. In desperation, he could only keep this kindness in mind and wait for the other party to use him in the future to repay this friendship.
"What's wrong, Master?"
The burly man noticed Dala's strange expression and immediately asked.
"It's nothing." Dala shook his head.
