Immortal Venerable Linglong, the Human Emperor's Pen, the Heart Demon Old Man, and Demon Venerable Chiyuan seemed to each have their own calculations. While Fang Han was momentarily dazed, they had already shuttled through various portals and disappeared, leaving Fang Han alone in the grand hall.
"My magic power was shallow back then; although I lived in this grand hall for twenty years, I did not wander about. Now that I have returned to this grand hall, I am deeply moved." Fang Han did not move, but merely looked around. Looking at the countless portals, huge stone pillars, and the various magic powers flowing out from those portals in the grand hall of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, he sighed endlessly with emotion.
His current cultivation was an unknown number of trillions of times higher than back then.
At that time, he was entirely unable to walk around in this grand hall, and thus lived there for twenty years without discovering any profundities. But now it was different; with a sweep of his eyes, he discovered the structure of this grand hall.
Above the firmament of this grand hall, a cluster of stars was densely packed, and portals stood like a forest all around, representing numerous spacetimes. The entire immortal palace's grand hall bore the profundity of the sky above and connected with the solid gravity of the earth below. It could be said that it vaguely held a trace of the universe's profound mysteries, seemingly about to carve out a realm of its own.
Deep within the grand hall, in the most profound place of the immortal palace, Fang Han felt countless powers erupting and undergoing a metamorphosis. It seemed as though Immortal Venerable Taiyuan had laid down a chess piece, and at this moment, the chess piece was about to come into play.
Moreover, among the various portals, some emitted an aura of absolute killing, others flickered with the light of treasures and thousands of streaks of pill energy, and some seemed to contain various divine ability Dao books.
Basically, which portal had treasures and which portal was a dead end leading to a place of death, Fang Han could tell with a single glance.
However, he could never see through what the core of this Taiyuan Immortal Palace was. What was the true appearance of that immortal artifact, the Gate of Profound Females? Furthermore, he could not even sense the slightest aura of the mysterious person who had taught him Dao techniques all those years ago.
That mysterious person within the Taiyuan Immortal Palace seemed to have lost all trace, or perhaps was ultimately killed while trapped by the restrictions of the immortal palace.
But in Fang Han's intuition, he anticipated that this mysterious person would definitely not die so easily.
Ever since he successfully cultivated the Great Karma Technique and achieved a 'Flawless Body,' his ability to deduce the heavenly secrets of all sorts of possible future changes had greatly increased, as the power of karma inherently contained heavenly secrets.
Rumble!
Just as he was comprehending, another loud boom came from outside, and countless fearsome auras rushed in, descending into the immortal palace's grand hall. Leading them were Taihuangtian and the others.
Disciples of the Taiyi Sect!
Taihuangtian, now wearing an imperial robe and exuding an imposing aura, had actually stepped into the realm of a Heavenly Immortal. Moreover, behind him, the shadow of the Heavenly Lord of Disaster faintly appeared. His cultivation was a good bit stronger than even the Absolute Martial God and Ya Wuben whom Fang Han had killed. However, Fang Han could tell at a glance that Taihuangtian had received benefits bestowed by the Immortal Realm, rather than cultivating it painstakingly on his own.
As an important figure of the Taiyi Sect, he was naturally an important chess piece of the Immortal Realm. Now, at a crucial juncture, the Immortal Realm would certainly give him sufficient benefits.
As for Taihetian and Taixutian, they had already cultivated to the True Immortal cultivation level.
Taihuntian had actually become a Virtual Immortal as well. However, standing alongside Taihuntian was surprisingly a woman with green hair, who was also at the Virtual Immortal realm, and there was a vague sense that she was about to break through to True Immortal. This woman was shockingly 'Taiyantian' Yan Chenyu, the lover of Su Xiuyi.
"This woman, her father ascended long ago and held power in the Immortal Realm. It seems she has also received a massive reward from the Heavenly Realm this time, otherwise how could her cultivation increase so rapidly?" Fang Han frowned.
"Martial Uncle Taihuangtian, this time the Lord Emissary of the Immortal Realm has brought over the people from the Central Great World and the Heavenly King Great World. With experts gathering like clouds to open the Taiyuan Immortal Palace together, it is possible that we are inviting wolves into the house, and we will not obtain the treasures of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace at all." Taiyantian said to Taihuangtian.
"No matter, my cultivation has now reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, and I can communicate with the heavens." A sneer surfaced on Taihuangtian's face: "I have received the intent of all the ascended founding master generations of our Taiyi Sect in the Immortal Realm, instructing us on how to obtain the treasures of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace this time. Furthermore, the Divine Immortal Emissary is on our side; this is the intention of the Heavenly Realm. The people of the Central Great World and the Heavenly King Great World wouldn't dare to act out of line. Besides, I am not without a trump card."
"That is good. For senior brother to be able to directly communicate with the ascended founding masters of our Taiyi Sect, that couldn't be better." Taihetian smiled and said, "We are now standing in the grand hall of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace. According to the founding masters' guidance, how should we enter?"
"This Taiyuan Immortal Palace has a total of one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred portals. Every single portal contains unpredictable mysteries of ghosts and gods, and entering one is equivalent to entering another universe. We must be highly cautious, but our founding masters in the Immortal Realm have already pointed out a clear path for me." Taihuangtian said, "Within the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, there once was a formidable figure trapped inside, though he did not die. He seized control of the majority of the restrictive powers, wishing to rely on peerless divine abilities to suppress the Gate of Profound Females, but it resulted in a situation of mutual restraint. This peerless figure was suppressed by Immortal Venerable Taiyuan before he had ascended."
"Who exactly is it?" Taiyantian Yan Chenyu said.
"That is unknown." Taihuangtian: "But as long as we find this person and suppress him again, we will then be able to control the entire immortal palace. When that time comes, with the experts of the Central Great World and the Heavenly King Great World being held back by the Divine Immortal Emissary, we will be able to safely take control of the Gate of Profound Females. Moreover, the Eternal Divine Furnace is hiding in the shadows, and will lend us a hand when the time comes."
"What? Didn't the Eternal Divine Furnace go to the Immortal Realm? He didn't even make a move when suppressing Fang Han last time. If he makes a move, then that boy Fang Han would have been killed by us already." Taixutian said resentfully.
"He was afraid of the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord." Taihuangtian said, "His last trip to the Immortal Realm was also rumors that the will of the Eternal Heavenly Lord descended, and at the same time sent Yanshuitian into the Immortal Realm."
"Yanshuitian has entered the Immortal Realm, and Hua Tiandu has also entered the Immortal Realm. I wonder what their future achievements will be like."
"That will depend on their luck. With bad luck, they become slaves. With good luck, they rely on a great figure, and they might just grow. You must know that if you do not cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal realm, you have no status at all in the Immortal Realm. Even a Virtual Immortal is still a slave." Taihuangtian shook his head.
"Alright, let us divide our tasks. Enter the portals!" Immediately after Taihuangtian finished speaking, he shook his arms, displaying the strength of a Heavenly Immortal, and entered a portal. At the same time, a talisman flickered in his hand, looking as though it was bestowed down by the founding masters of the Immortal Realm to point out the way for him.
"Hmpf! There are thousands upon tens of thousands of portals in this Taiyuan Immortal Palace, is this the perfect opportunity to kill Taihuangtian? Wipe out the experts of the Taiyi Sect entirely? But it seems better not to alert the enemy. Let's first scour the portals for magical treasures." Fang Han's body flickered, and he too entered a portal.
Just entering a portal, countless grand arrays began to operate. Fang Han saw with the naked eye that there were at least several tens of massive immortal arrays operating.
These several tens of immortal arrays were interlocked like dog fangs, forming an aura of killing like a ferocious maw, communicating with a hidden spacetime and biting together directly. It was entirely capable of trapping any expert below the level of Heavenly Immortal within them.
"What good killing arrays, bearing the power of the Heavenly Baleful Qi of the Cosmos. This Immortal Venerable Taiyuan is indeed worthy of being one of the nine great immortals of antiquity." As Fang Han went deep into the grand array, the array seemed to have not perceived him at all.
It was naturally the effect of the "World Honored Buddha of Mastery's Talisman."
This talisman possessed countless unimaginable profound mysteries. With Fang Han only able to bring out less than a ten-thousandth of its function right now, it was already completely inexhaustible.
If he used the Eight Divisions Pagoda, Fang Han could only brute force his way through at this moment. To enter the Taiyuan Immortal Palace and oppose the experts of the Central Great World and the Heavenly King Great World would be practically impossible.
But now, sneaking in quietly, not even the formations of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace could discover him. There was not the slightest trace of mortal fire. It was transcendent and free from vulgarity.
The efficacy of this talisman did not include lethality. It was of no use in battle, but its various auxiliary wondrous applications were unparalleled in the world.
"This is a spacetime storing medicinal pills!" Stepping past the killing array, Fang Han saw that in this spacetime, powerful medicinal pills were floating everywhere. There were even far more pills than those in the Key of the Desolate God. However, the pills in the Key of the Desolate God were mostly immortal pills, whereas the pills stored in this spacetime were mostly ordinary Heaven-tier spirit pills and Earth-tier spirit pills, which could be supplied to those in the Divine Ability Secret Realm for cultivation.
"Good, so many low-tier pills, not bad, not bad at all. They are just right for allowing the living beings of the countless empires within the Eight Divisions Pagoda to enhance their cultivation. Keep in mind, although immortal pills are good, if one has not reached the Longevity Secret Realm, swallowing them will lead to death." Fang Han opened his mouth and inhaled, and countless medicinal pills within this spacetime, such as the "Dharma Sage Relic," "Nirvana Pill," "Yang Returning Pill," "Dragon God Pill," and "Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pill," turned into rain-like drops and entered his mouth.
Furthermore, Fang Han even saw Nine Orifice Golden Pills!
Thousands upon tens of thousands, transforming into a pill rain. A full several million, upwards of ten million pills flew in as well. Entering the Thirty-Three Heavens World, they left many people inside incredibly excited.
"Heavens! So many Heaven-tier and Earth-tier spirit pills!" The Master of the Stars and the others only saw the pill rain falling incessantly from the sky. They were boundlessly ecstatic. With these medicinal pills, the disciples in the sect would advance by leaps and bounds once more. Given enough time, experts of the Divine Ability Secret Realm and Longevity Secret Realm would spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
"This is just one of the minor medicinal pill treasure vaults."
In a flash, Fang Han collected the pills in this space. A flash of Buddhist light, soundlessly and tracelessly, and he entered another space. Just as he entered this space, badum-badum, badum-badum! Endless drumming sounds resounded, shaking heaven and earth.
Fang Han immediately saw that within a starry sky, countless war drums were suspended, numbering at least tens of thousands.
Every single war drum was a Supreme-Grade Dao Artifact, incredibly huge like small mountains, vibrating and rumbling automatically. Tens of thousands of Supreme-Grade Dao Artifact war drums surrounded three planet-sized war drums, booming together in resonance. That soundwave was entirely capable of directly shattering experts at the World King Realm or even Mixed Hole Realm into nothingness.
A war drum grand array! Formed by tens of thousands of Supreme-Grade Dao Artifacts and three Peerless-Grade Dao Artifacts, all of them war drums.
"The Heavenly Drum Great Array of Chonghua!" Fang Han said in shock.
