Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2297 - 1617: Palace

Bai Ba was also somewhat tempted, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Do you have the same confidence as he does?"

The crowd instantly fell silent, stopping their thoughts.

Because even now, having received substantial merit assistance, they were not fully confident of successfully breaking through to Golden Immortal, much less to higher realms.

"Indeed! People are different."

The cultivator sighed sadly, then disappeared.

There wasn’t much deep friendship among them, just gathered from the Four Seas by Elder Xuan under the premise of solving their cultivation issues or helping them advance further, essentially no different from strangers.

So when Elder Xuan left, they naturally dispersed.

"Who wouldn’t want to leave and venture into the Void? But not everyone has the same confidence as you..."

Bai Ba looked at the sky, as if talking to himself, or possibly to someone else, but perhaps that person was himself.

...

On the other side.

"The Tao Spirit Realm actually succeeded in ascending?!" Li Zhirui was a bit surprised, as during the end of the tribulation, the entire world was silent, leading him to think it had failed.

But surprisingly, it succeeded at the last moment!

World ascension also has a time limit, missing it means waiting for the next opportunity.

Who knows when the next opportunity will be? Maybe in ten thousand years, or fifty thousand years, or perhaps never again.

That’s why the Heavenly Dao of this Realm and its Golden Immortals worked tirelessly, risking everything to complete this ascension, because they didn’t know if there would be a second chance if they missed it.

"It’s truly fortunate!" Li Zhirui sighed.

But he wasn’t aware that if he hadn’t intervened in the Cloud Continent incident, maybe this twist wouldn’t have occurred.

Although the Great Array of Cold Continent ultimately benefited from favorable timing, location, and people, the Evil Spirit Transformation Array in Cloud Continent had been set up for a long time, accumulating more evil filth.

Only with success was it avoided, otherwise, the Heavenly Dao of this Realm might have acted against the ’culprit’ Li Zhirui who would have caused the ascension failure!

Thus unknowingly, he avoided a calamity.

Yet he remained oblivious, enjoying the benefits of clear skies and law manifestation during the world’s ascension!

Although Li Zhirui wasn’t a native of the Tao Spirit Realm, he contributed greatly during the tribulation, and after all, the ascension succeeded in the end.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao considered him half a kin, naturally opening these benefits to him.

As for owing the karma to this world after comprehending the laws, he’d find ways to resolve it later.

After all, he couldn’t ignore this once-in-a-millennia opportunity due to fear of karmic debt, that would be foolish!

Thus, Li Zhirui quickly immersed himself in the cultivation of comprehending laws, disregarding trivial affairs, nothing mattered more than cultivation.

Especially now, as the Tao Spirit Realm ascends, the Purification Principle keeps evolving new content, broadening his horizons, allowing for a gradual growth in his realm that hadn’t improved for a long time after absorbing the new Purification Principle.

This effect naturally heightened his focus, wholeheartedly dedicating himself to law comprehension.

Not just Li Zhirui, every being on the cultivation path in the Tao Spirit Realm, regardless of race, Dao path, or cultivation realm, was the same!

No one wanted to miss this grand cultivation gathering, this enlightenment festivity.

Because with a bit of luck or high comprehension, one’s cultivation could see significant improvement in a short time.

However, comprehending Dao is not entirely safe; excessive immersion could lead to one’s spiritual soul being assimilated by the laws!

Fortunately, those who perished due to excessive immersion in Dao enlightenment did so silently, without major impact on the outside world.

Thus, the entire Tao Spirit Realm became harmonious and peaceful, without the slightest sign of dispute.

The duration of this situation, however, is unknown.

For once this cultivation wave passes, the strength of the Tao Spirit Realm’s beings will surely see a general rise, leading inevitably to battles whether for revenge or territory!

Just how widespread the impact will be remains to be seen.

...

The Void!

No matter how much time passes or what happens, it remains unchanged.

Vast, endless, gray and desolate!

But spending more time in the Void reveals that this seemingly desolate place is not as it appears, containing hidden vitality within.

Nobody knows when the Chaotic Fierce Beasts appeared, where the Chaos Spiritual Objects drifted from, when the Chaotic Storm might erupt, and there’s even the chance of encountering other beings and bizarre opportunities.

These are the true nature of the Void!

And now, in a certain area within the Void.

Jiang Fengwu was cautiously moving forward, looking very solemn because not far ahead stood a very conspicuous, lavish palace!

She had already tried testing it out beforehand; this was not some mirage or illusionary realm but a real existence.

Yet, the more it appeared real, the stranger it felt.

If this palace appeared within some world’s core, nobody would find it odd, as it seemed perfectly normal from its appearance.

But it happened to be positioned within the Void Chaos!

This extremely unstable and dangerous place.

Nobody knows how long this palace has stood here, but Jiang Fengwu knows it’s definitely not simple, must be handled carefully to avoid any accidents.

Within it might hide a gigantic trap, or some kind of opportunity, or perhaps nothing at all, it might just be a palace.

Though her movements were very slow, the pace eventually reached the palace’s entrance.

Cre-eak—

Jiang Fengwu used mana to form a giant hand, slowly pushing open the heavy doors, the grating sound implying it has been long since anyone visited here.

’So nobody lives inside?’

She frowned, not daring to let down her guard, adopting an even more cautious attitude as she gradually walked in.

Upon entering, she discovered how dilapidated and decayed this palace was!

Inside, almost nothing was intact, entirely different from the flashy and splendid exterior.

Separated by a wall, it felt like two completely different worlds.

Moreover, this situation was very peculiar; logically, the outer walls should suffer direct chaos corrosion and destruction, expected to be ragged and tattered.

Without outer wall destruction, the interior should be well protected, not appearing as it did.

Yet reality defied logic, making it exceedingly eerie!

Hence, Jiang Fengwu became even more vigilant and cautious in her palace exploration, holding the array plate with reversed hands, ready to activate the formation at any sign of danger.

These rooms with closed doors seemed to have formations using the doors as Array Eyes, capable of blocking divine sense probing!

This prevented her from using the most common cultivator method, directly sweeping within with divine sense to scan the internal condition.

But after Jiang Fengwu thoroughly investigated the main hall, no anomalies or strange occurrences were found.

Yet many palace rooms remained sealed, with nobody knowing what lay beyond the doors.

Having come this far, Jiang Fengwu naturally didn’t want to give up halfway, but she also didn’t plan to explore them one by one.

She simply thrust her hand, opening all the doors to the left; the doors acting as Array Eyes were destroyed, the formation could no longer operate.

This way, she didn’t have to enter each room for firsthand exploration, just utilizing divine sense would suffice.
