Chapter 328 This Love, Ten Thousand Years
Chapter 328 This Love, Ten Thousand Years
The layout of the floating city is not much different from the environment. All the avenues and alleys are the same. The only difference is the furnishings, items, and plaques outside the houses.
The portal to the Immortal Court is indeed an eighth-level formation, but it is very different from the one in the illusion. The illusion only has the form but not the spirit, making it seem true but not true.
Shi Chen could only analyze the formation again. Having experience in breaking illusions, he took out a piece of spiritual jade and began to carve rune patterns.
Three quarters of a second later, a communication from the Immortal Court was completed. Shi Chen activated his spiritual power, controlled objects in the void, and sent the spiritual jade token into the portal of the Immortal Court.
Boo!
Inside the portal, a sudden bolt of lightning instantly destroyed the jade token, leaving nothing behind.
what!
Shi Chen cried out in surprise. His spiritual sense sensed that this thunder punishment was stronger than the combined thunder tribulation of the sea monster he had experienced. If he had entered with the spiritual jade token, he would have been caught off guard and would have been seriously injured.
Fortunately, let’s try it first.
He secretly congratulated himself on his caution. The formation of the Immortal Court portal was extremely tricky, and he couldn't act rashly. He stood there, his eyes fixed on the Immortal Court portal, his mind rapidly thinking about the next step to crack it.
click!
The Lingyu Token was struck by lightning for the third time, but it still failed to imitate the Immortal Court's order.
After three tests, the verification time was extended each time. This shows that some of the array patterns and runes of the order he imitated are correct. Shi Chen also found the array idea of the order. As long as he tries one or two more times, he will definitely be able to imitate the Immortal Court order.
hum!
The fourth imitation token floated at the entrance of the fairy palace, and a doorway with a faint glow appeared in front.
Shi Chen was delighted, thinking that this time it was right. He controlled the Lingyu token and sent it to the opened doorway.
click!
A bolt of lightning easily hit the Lingyu token, and the light gate disappeared instantly, and everything returned to normal.
Isn't this right? Shi Chen's fingers flew as he began to calculate the formation and restrictions.
hum!
A few breaths passed, and the gate to the Immortal Court suddenly opened. A muffled voice came from inside: "Who dares to be so presumptuous!"
A general in bright silver-white armor walked out of the light gate, holding a sword hanging from his waist in one hand and a silver seal in the other.
Shi Chen was startled, but quickly calmed down. He cupped his fists and said towards the light gate, "I am Shi Chen. I have come here to seek spiritual roots. I did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Senior."
The general in bright silver-white armor shouted coldly, "How can you easily obtain something that can sustain spiritual roots? This is a sacred place in the Immortal Court, how can we allow outsiders to covet it?"
Shi Chen took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Senior, I know this is a treasure of the Immortal Court, but I do have a difficult reason. I have a close friend whose spiritual roots were severed by a villain. Now her life is coming to an end, and there is little hope for survival. I have searched high and low for a cure, and learned that the Immortal Court treasury might contain something to regenerate her spiritual roots, so I took the risk and came here. If I cannot save her, I will be uneasy. I hope Senior will understand."
The general in bright silver-white armor narrowed his eyes slightly and examined Shi Chen. After a moment, the general slowly said: "Your affairs have nothing to do with the Immortal Court. Please retreat immediately."
"Immortal Court? Does the Immortal Court still exist now? It was destroyed a hundred thousand years ago. The army of cultivators was wiped out by several major immortal courts. The major kings were either dead or disabled. The territories belonging to the immortal court were separated and formed into a small realm. Even the lord of the immortal court, Xuan Lingyun, was sealed for a hundred thousand years. Is there still an immortal court?" Shi Chen shouted sternly.
"You...what did you say?" The officer in bright silver armor's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "Ling Yun...she was sealed for a hundred thousand years? How did you know that?"
"How should I know?" Shi Chen stretched out his right hand, activated his spiritual power, and used his spiritual power to visualize a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. "Look, isn't this the Lord of Xuanyuan Immortal Court, Xuan Lingyun!"
The spiritual power development finally stopped when Xuan Lingyun entered the transmission channel. Shi Chen controlled the development and stayed for three breaths before retracting the spiritual power and the development dissipated.
The officer in bright silver armor had reddened eyes as he gazed infatuatedly at the vanished image, muttering to himself, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! The invitation from Immortal Master Lingtong was a scam. They tricked you away, bringing disaster upon everyone in the Immortal Court. Ha! Ha! Ha! It was a waste of my 100,000 years of guarding the Immortal Court for you, hoping you'd return and conquer the four corners of the world, destroy the three major courts, and establish the Xuanyuan Heavenly Court."
The general in bright silver-white armor grew more and more excited as he spoke, his voice going from a vague mumble to a loud roar.
Shi Chen watched quietly as the general in bright silver-white armor fell into a state of excitement, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
He could feel the general's loyalty and dedication to Xuan Lingyun, the Lord of the Immortal Court. His hundred thousand years of protection was a touching friendship.
After a moment, the general's emotions calmed down a little. He turned to look at Shi Chen, his eyes more complicated.
"Since you know all this, then who are you? Why did you come here to look for something to renew your spiritual roots?"
Shi Chen clasped his fists and saluted: "I am Shi Chen, a junior. My friend was murdered and my spiritual roots were severed. I have been searching for something to reconnect them. I have traveled to various places of strange phenomena and fortunately, I have been able to enter the Immortal Court. I hope that Senior will help me."
The general narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Your formation decree is quite good. It's only a matter of time before we can break through the defense formation of the Immortal Court. I will take you to the Immortal Court treasury, but whether you can break through the formation depends on your luck. I don't know if there are any spiritual root items in the treasury. Do you want to go?"
Shi Chen's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Junior is willing to give it a try, please lead the way."
The general nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the interior of the Immortal Court. Shi Chen followed closely behind, feeling both nervous and excited.
They walked along a wide passage, flanked by tall stone pillars inscribed with mysterious runes. The air was filled with powerful spiritual fluctuations, giving one a sense of the majesty and mystery of the Celestial Court.
After walking for a while, a huge building appeared in front of them.
This building exudes an ancient and powerful aura, and the door is engraved with complex array runes.
The general stopped and pointed at the building. "This is the Immortal Court's treasury. If you can break the formation on the door, you can enter and find what you need."
Shi Chen looked at the door of the treasure house and felt the powerful pressure of the formation. He took a deep breath and began to carefully observe the runes on the door.
These runes were more complex than those on the Immortal Court portal, and contained deeper secrets of spiritual power. Shi Chen closed his eyes and slowly released his spiritual consciousness, attempting to establish a connection with the formation.
Through his divine sense, Shi Chen discovered that the formation was a multi-layered structure, with each layer having different rules for the operation of spiritual power. To crack the formation, he needed to find the key nodes between each layer and then crack them one by one.
Shi Chen opened his eyes and took out some spirit jade and a talisman pen from his storage ring. He began to draw runes on the spirit jade, trying to simulate the formation structure on the treasure house door.
After some effort, Shi Chen finally drew a preliminary model of the formation. He carefully studied the model, looking for its weak links.
Three days later, a formation model with spiritual power appeared in front of Shi Chen.
Layer upon layer, densely packed, and interconnected.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the general in bright silver-white armor had left, and Shi Chen could only continue to analyze and study the formation.
With a soft click, the runes of the protective array of the Immortal Court Treasury dimmed, and after a few breaths, the array was lifted.
After seven days of trying, the door to the Immortal Palace Treasure House was finally opened by Shi Chen.
Shi Chen looked at the slowly opening door of the Immortal Court Treasure House, and a surge of excitement and nervousness surged in his heart. He stepped into the treasure house carefully.
The various treasures in the treasury emitted brilliant light. His eyes quickly scanned the treasury, searching for something to continue his spiritual roots.
As he walked, he observed the treasures around him, secretly marveling at the rich collection of the Immortal Court's treasury. Each treasure here contained powerful spiritual power, giving people a sense of the former glory and power of the Immortal Court.
Every spiritual treasure was locked with a restriction. The vast treasure house was silent, with only the gentle sound of Shi Chen's footsteps echoing. His eyes were fixed on the treasures emitting mysterious light, and he felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
Jade boxes, jade bottles, treasure boxes, whenever Shi Chen came across any object that could hold something, he would break the restrictions and check the spiritual objects inside.
He had seen hundreds of storage jade boxes, jade bottles, and treasure boxes, but not a single one of them was a spiritual object that could sustain his spiritual roots.
The remaining thousand or so treasures are all magic weapons, rare spiritual ores, rare spiritual fruits, high-level spiritual medicines, and spiritual materials.
After walking out of the Immortal Court Treasure House, Shi Chen took back the flag that suppressed the protective formation. The protective formation of the Immortal Court Treasure House started to work again, and the formation pattern began to flicker.
Looking at the Xianting Treasury's protective formation that had been restored to normal operation, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had spent so much energy and time, but still failed to find the thing that could regenerate his spiritual roots.
He stood in front of the treasure house, quietly thinking about what to do next.
At this moment, he was filled with confusion and anxiety, as Xu Qing's condition could not be delayed.
Shi Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that panic and despair would not solve the problem. He had to cheer himself up and continue looking for a way to save Xu Qing.
Now there is only a secret temple shared by the stone land. I wonder if I can find something there to continue the spiritual roots.
Before leaving the floating city, go to the Immortal Palace Hall to convey Qing Yu's words, and then go to the island market to cooperate with Han Xiao's revenge plan and kill the Black Blood Ancestor.
There are a lot of things going on, and I don’t know if Xu Qing can hold on for a few more years. I can only do my best.
Standing in front of the Immortal Court Treasury, Shi Chen's eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to keep moving forward for Xu Qing.
He turned and left the Immortal Court Treasure House and walked towards the Immortal Court Hall.
On the Lingqu Bridge, Shi Chen saw the guard in front of the hall. It turned out to be the general in bright silver-white armor.
He also sensed Shi Chen's arrival and instantly arrived in front of the Lingqu Bridge. He looked at Shi Chen with confusion and asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you found what you need after searching the treasury? Why are you here again?"
"Don't worry, General. I'm just here on behalf of someone to convey a message to the general guarding the palace." Shi Chen was surprised. He thought that the general in white armor was the one guarding the gate of the Immortal Court.
The white-armored general frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you delivering this message for? What's the matter?"
Shi Chen said respectfully, "General, I've been entrusted by a man named Qing Yu to convey a message to the general guarding the palace."
When the white-armored general heard the word Qing Yu, his whole body shuddered and his face looked like pain.
"Qingqing is still waiting in Wushuang Mansion!" Seeing that the white-armored general did not speak, Shi Chen could only say what Qingyu wanted to convey, then saluted with his fists, stepped back, turned around, and strode away.
