The Yellow Dragon Clan was indeed related to the Immortal Palace.
As soon as Li Mu heard that, he knew that his judgment in the world of Mount Song was right. In the historical book of the Clear Mind Swordsmanship Sect, it was recorded that the ancestor of the Yellow Dragon Clan used to be the divine beast guarding the gate of the Immortal Palace. Li Mu had asked about it before, but the patriarch of the Yellow Dragon Clan had scruples, so he was unwilling to reveal anything and kept his mouth shut.
"What is it?" Li Mu asked.
The chief of the Yellow Dragon Clan looked around.
Huang Yeer immediately understood and left with Luo Liang.
After the others left, the chief of the Yellow Dragon Clan said with a wry smile, "It is a Thousand Beasts Ring, a relic left by our ancestor. He took it out of the Immortal Palace. Later, our clan was cursed because of this beast ring. Our clansmen wandered from place to place, and countless were injured or killed. Our fate was tragic. Before our ancestor died, he deduced that the curse could only be lifted if this Thousand Beasts Ring was returned to its rightful owner in the Dragon-imprisoning Terrace of the Immortal Palace. Only then could our clan flourish."
He unfolded his palm.
A black bracelet that looked like a bracelet appeared.
The bracelet seemed to be made of black iron and seemed to be dyed with ink. There was no pattern on its surface and its texture was average. It was just an ordinary bracelet. But upon a closer look, Li Mu found that there were three characters engraved on the inside of the bracelet. They seemed to be ancient characters that Li Mu didn't recognize.
Could it be the 'Thousand Beasts Ring' that the chief of the Yellow Dragon Clan mentioned?
Apart from the three characters, there was nothing special about the bracelet.
Li Mu took it. It was extremely heavy, probably weighing millions of kilograms. But it was not a storage space. The inside was heavy and not hollow. Without the support of a tactical deployment, it was like a dead object. Li Mu didn't know what the use of the bracelet was. He looked around and found that it seemed to have no other use other than to throw it at people.
He was deep in thought.
The chief of the Yellow Dragon Clan said that this Thousand Beasts Ring was taken out of the Immortal Palace by his ancestor. He was probably being polite and euphemistic. He should have "stolen" it. Otherwise, the Yellow Dragon Clan wouldn't have been cursed and wanted to return it.
Li Mu didn't ask too much about the details.
"Okay, I'll send it back for you." Li Mu nodded after thinking for a while.
The chief of the Yellow Dragon Tribe was overjoyed. He was about to kneel and pay his respects when Li Mu stopped him.
He said gratefully, "Hero Li is a hero of the present age, and his words are worth a thousand gold. It seems that the curse of my tribe can finally be lifted. In order to express my gratitude, I have something else to give to Hero Li. I wish Hero Li a smooth and safe trip to the Immortal Palace."
He took out another map and handed it to Li Mu.
"This is the topographic map of the periphery of the Immortal Palace. It was drawn by our ancestor based on his memory after he came out of the Immortal Palace. The green route on it is a safe path that can be passed through. However, our ancestor only entered the periphery of the Immortal Palace and did not go deep inside. Therefore, this green route map cannot lead you deep inside. The interior of the map was drawn by our ancestor while he was standing on a high place and looking into the distance. It can only be used as a reference. Hero Li, please be cautious."
The head of the Yellow Dragon Clan unfurled the map and explained it to Li Mu in detail.
Li Mu was overjoyed and said, "That's great. Thank you, old chief."
The map was drawn on an unknown animal skin. It was obvious that it was quite old. The topography was drawn with cinnabar and the route was drawn with green ink. Although the drawing was simple, the meaning was vividly expressed in just a few strokes.
"In that case, I wish Hero Li a smooth and safe trip to the Immortal Palace."
The head of the Yellow Dragon Tribe bowed deeply.
…
…
Five days later.
Li Mu, Virgin Goddess Yun Guang, and the stupid Husky traveled day and night and finally arrived at Mount Tai.
Mount Tai was one of the most famous mountains in China. It was also known as the East Peak.
In the ancient history of China, there were countless legends and stories about Mount Tai. Many emperors of feudal dynasties hoped to perform rituals on Mount Tai in order to show off their political and military achievements. This added to the legend of Mount Tai.
After the recovery of the Spiritual Qi on Earth, the seals on the famous mountains and rivers gradually dissipated. The land became vast and became a huge world. Mount Tai was no exception.
Li Mu, Virgin Goddess Yun Guang, and the dog came to the Southern Gate at noon that day.
The Southern Gate of Mount Tai, also known as the Three Heavenly Gates, was located at the end of the Eighteen Paths. It was the top of the climbing path. It was located on the mountain pass between the Flying Dragon Rock and the Soaring Phoenix Ridge. Looking up from below, it was like a heavenly palace. It was the gateway to the top of Mount Tai. Since ancient times, there had been legends that those who climbed to the Southern Gate could become immortal.
At this time, the mountain paths, winding paths, and the surrounding air around the Southern Gate were already full of cultivators from all sides.
The people of the six god departments of the heavenly court, as well as some cultivators of the six major races led by Bi Yan, were at the front and closest to the Southern Gate.
The other major immortal sects and rogue cultivators were divided into different camps according to their positions and arranged around in an orderly manner.
Li Mu's arrival attracted countless eyes.
As a top genius of the new generation who had made a name for himself in the Immortal and Demon Conference, Li Mu's name had already spread far and wide in the past few days. Anyone who had paid attention to the opening of the Immortal Palace had heard of him.
He was already the focus of everyone.
"Is that Li Mu?"
"He looks very ordinary. He is really a mortal."
"Is that the descendant of the Cloud Tribe next to him? This guy is so awesome. He treats the descendants of the divine departments of the heavenly court as slaves. He is simply a role model for our generation … Hehe, do you think the two of them have … have they done that? "
"Shut up. Do you want to die? If the people of the Cloud Tribe hear you, they will destroy your Divine Soul."
The crowd was talking about it.
Countless eyes were focused on Li Mu.
Li Mu had long been used to it, so he took it calmly.
"Haha, Brother Li Mu, you are finally here." The Immortal Taoist smiled and greeted him in person.
Li Mu, Virgin Goddess Yun Guang, and the dog were led to the top of the Southern Gate and stood side by side with the leaders of the divine departments of the heavenly court. Behind them was Yu Jingfeng, the peerless genius of the Wind Tribe.
"He is just a mortal. How can he be qualified to stand beside the seniors of the divine departments?"
A young cultivator of the Fog Tribe said discontentedly.
"Shut up. That is a place where only the mighty figures on the Heaven List are qualified to stand. If you don't like it, you can challenge the Heaven List. Only those who can leave their names on the Heaven List are qualified to stand there," Shuiyue Fairy scolded.
Among the cultivators of the Fog Tribe, this sweet and pure girl was very authoritative.
The other cultivators who were jealous and discontented immediately shut up.
Because of Li Mu, the Virgin Goddess Yun Guang and the stupid dog Husky also stood at the top of the list. The old faker had forced the Husky to get the spot. He thought that if Li Mu brought the dog with him, it would be easier for him to find the top-grade divine fruits. After all, a dog's nose was very sensitive.
The old faker was now walking further and further on the road of a tyrant and a thief.
After the top of the list were the descendants of the six god departments, such as Lei Zang, Ghost, Shuiyue Fairy, Lin Yuhan, and the others. In addition, there were the elite disciples of the six god departments.
Then, there were the other major immortal sects and rogue cultivators.
Then, there were the cultivators in the mortal world who had obtained the chance in the Golden Platform Taoist Temple. Because they had the Divine Root and Spiritual Root, they were accepted as the inner disciples of the major immortal sects. They also got the chance to enter the Immortal Palace.
Li Mu roughly glanced at the list and found that there were probably tens of thousands of people entering the Immortal Palace this time.
"The spots to enter the Immortal Palace are given out so casually. Back then, a group of people fought each other to the death."
Li Mu was a little speechless.
In that case, the old faker was not cheating when he got a spot for a dog.
After all, the dog was much stronger than most cultivators.
About two hours later.
"Time's up."
The Pure Yang Master took a few steps forward and came to the top of the Southern Gate. He said, "Everyone, please take your keys. Now is the time to open the gate of the Immortal Palace."
He spread out his palm.
A bronze light flashed.
The broken pieces of the bronze tripod floated in the air.
The lords of the Ghost Department, the Fog Department, and the Thunder Department also stood up and raised their hands. The pieces of the bronze tripod they had obtained were activated. They floated in the air and gathered toward the void.
Bi Yan also took action and shot out two pieces of the bronze tripod.
One of them was the tripod foot that Li Mu had obtained from the Old Ancestor of the Deity Clan.
There was a total of six brass cauldron fragments. After they were activated, they emitted a strange light. Mysterious ancient runes that could not be seen before also appeared in the cauldron fragments. They turned into six huge golden runes that combined with the six brass cauldron fragments to form a complete brass cauldron.
In the sky above the Southern Gate, a strange phenomenon appeared.
It was as if the water of the Milky Way was pouring down, and ripples appeared in the void.
The ripples were like water, washing the void. Then, like dust being swept away, an ink painting of mountains and rivers appeared in the void. In the distance, one could see the jade palaces hanging in the depths of the sky, as if the gate of a new world was slowly opening.
All of a sudden, countless people held their breath.
"Is that the legendary Immortal Palace?"
The brass tripod shook slightly, releasing energy ripples like sound waves. The ink painting of mountains and rivers became clearer and clearer, gradually becoming vivid and gorgeous, as if it had been colored. A cloud stone staircase composed of jade stone steps slowly emerged, leading from the Southern Gate to the depths of the Immortal Palace.
Li Mu also stared at it intently.
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
The brass tripod suddenly smashed into the void, like smashing glass, breaking the void barrier.
The Immortal Palace behind finally showed its true appearance.
Amidst the lingering immortal mist, numerous jade palaces were faintly discernible. As far as the eye could see, there were white cloud palaces everywhere. Some were tall, some were short, and they were arranged in a row, layer upon layer, and the end couldn't be seen. There were towering white jade statues, ancient pagodas of unknown uses, immortal mountains connected by chains, and immortal pavilions that flew in the clouds …
This was the real Immortal Palace.
Everyone's breathing became heavy.
The immortal opportunity was right in front of them.
Countless pairs of eyes suddenly turned red.
"Let's go."
The Pure Yang Ancestor said.
Just as the leaders of the God Clans were about to retrieve the fragments of their copper cauldrons, the cauldrons suddenly trembled and quickly separated themselves from the control of these Divine Profound Realm experts. They erased their auras and turned into a streak of golden light that shot into the Immortal Palace in the distance. No one knew where they went.
"What?"
"Not good, go after it."
Several Divinity Profound Realm experts turned into streams of light and instantly chased after it.
This brass tripod was a divine object, and everyone wanted to get it.
Bi Yan looked back at Li Mu and said in a cold voice, "You'd better get out of here. If you dare to enter the Immortal Palace, I will kill you first."
After that, she also rushed into the Immortal Palace with the experts of the six demon-defying clans.
"Let's go."
Li Mu ignored Bi Yan's warning and followed closely with the Husky and the Virgin Goddess Yun Guang.
At the top of the Southern Gate of Mount Tai, countless figures turned into streams of light and rushed into the Southern Gate like passing locusts, plunging into the endless clouds and palaces.
