Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 325 Ancient Immortal Palace
The report from his subordinate surprised the Supreme Master of the Mysterious Maiden Palace.

The various legends about the Chosen One, and His importance, are no secret in the cultivation world of the Azure Sea Continent.

From the distant primordial era to the present, no one has ever personally witnessed the true Chosen One. Perhaps some cultivators have seen him, but the truth is now lost to the outside world.

The news that the Chosen One has descended upon the Azure Continent has spread over time and attracted the attention of major powers on other continents, whether they believe it or not.

Therefore, in recent years, forces from other continents have been sending powerful individuals to secretly infiltrate the Azure Sun Continent to investigate and uncover the truth.

If this is indeed the case, then we must spare no effort to find the chosen one and bring him back to the sect.

Regardless of which faction possesses this unprecedentedly powerful bargaining chip, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds, making it possible for them to unify a continent or even this entire world in the future.

After a brief silence, the Supreme Master of Xuan Nu Palace said softly, "We've sent quite a few people to Yuzhou, haven't we? Haven't we received any good news yet?"

Another masked female cultivator cautiously reported, "The whereabouts of that chosen one named Ling Changqing are too mysterious, and cannot be calculated using any secret methods of divination. Therefore, not only us, but other forces have also gained nothing."

According to the intelligence gathered by the Xuan Nu Palace, almost all the major powers in this world, including the fifteen giant continents and some large island groups, are aware of the arrival of the Chosen One, after all, so many years have passed.

As a result, the Azure Continent is now rife with undercurrents, especially in the cultivation world of Yuzhou. Countless outside cultivators have changed their appearances and are conducting investigations in this state, trying to find Ling Changqing's whereabouts.

"That's fine then,"

The Supreme Master nodded and said, "As long as they haven't succeeded, it's good news for us. Moreover, I believe that the opportunity within the Hongmeng Holy Temple's training ground has most likely been obtained by him!"

She paused, a hint of helplessness in her soft, melodious voice: "We originally thought that as long as we obtained this important opportunity, we could revitalize our sect and restore its former glory, but now we are at our wits' end."

Of course, there's good news too. The Crimson Shadow Demon Sect and the Blazing Fire Divine Palace have suffered such a great loss that they'll likely quiet down for a while, which will lessen the pressure we face in the future.

When the Xuan Nu Palace was attacked, most of its high-level combat power was lost, and it also lost a lot of important territories and resources. The two forces, the Crimson Shadow Demon Sect and the Li Huo Divine Palace, were the culprits.

Now that they have suffered a great loss, it is certainly a welcome development for the Xuan Nu Palace, giving them more time to recover and develop.

"...Sect Leader, since Ling Changqing is so lustful, why not have Her Highness the Holy Maiden make a trip herself and select a group of elite sect members to bring along? As long as he sees them, perhaps there will be unexpected gains?"

The third masked female cultivator made a suggestion in a soft voice.

The Sect Master smiled and said, "Indeed, since it is said that he is a man with strong emotions and desires, it is clear that this is true."

"My Xuan Nu Palace has countless beauties. As long as he comes, every woman in the sect who is not yet a Daoist partner can be his for the taking. I can even pass my position to him. I don't believe he won't be tempted!"

Immortal Lady Mi Yue is the most favored disciple of the sect leader and the sect's chief saintess. Not only is she stunningly beautiful and exceptionally talented, but she is also a prodigy with outstanding qualities. She is already regarded by both inside and outside the sect as the only candidate to become the next sect leader.

The sect leader believed that if his personal disciple were to investigate Ling Changqing's whereabouts, good news would likely arrive soon.

A moment later, Immortal Lord Mi Yue, who was cultivating in seclusion in his own Daoist temple, received a top-secret message from his master.

She dared not delay, and after quickly finishing her tasks, she began to allocate manpower and prepare resources.

The next morning, an exquisitely crafted, bright red palace rose into the sky, flying out of the main peak of the Qingcheng Mountains, accelerating away and disappearing into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Besides Immortal Lord Mi Yue herself, she was accompanied by hundreds of female cultivators, ranging from Golden Core to Void Refining Realm. Each of them was a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm, and they were all personally selected by her.

At the same time, almost all of the other nine super powers on the Azure Sea Continent made similar arrangements.

……

Deep within the desolate and silent rocky mountains of the Azure Sea Continent, a celestial ship bathed in the glow of dawn slowly descends.

"...My lady, is this the place?"

On the foredeck, Ling Changqing surveyed the countless stone peaks of various shapes and sizes, exuding an air of antiquity, and asked with some confusion.

On the surface, this place appears extremely desolate and barren. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there is not a trace of greenery, water, living beings, or any spiritual energy. It is a complete forbidden zone for life.

It's hard to believe that the once all-powerful and awe-inspiring Doumu Immortal Venerable would choose this place as her sacred ground.

Meng Feiyu smiled and said, "Husband, don't be fooled by appearances. The Doumu Immortal Palace and Blessed Land back then were not like they are now. You'll know once you enter it."

Ling Changqing nodded, silently using the Heavenly Secrets Secret Method to calculate, and the surrounding environment perceived by his divine sense immediately underwent some subtle changes, like a reflection in water, rippling slightly.

However, when he tried to continue investigating, he found that his mana was being consumed at an unusually fast rate, and in the blink of an eye, he had less than 30% left.

"Husband, please stop looking. Your cultivation level is not high enough right now; you can't withstand it."

Xue Qingtan's plump, warm body leaned closer, her alluring arms gently embracing him as she spoke softly.

"alright."

Ling Changqing nodded, abandoning his plan to continue the competition.

Next, Xue Qingtan maneuvered the Sky Boat and patrolled the area several times before finally pinpointing the location of the hidden entrance.

During this time, Ling Changqing carefully tried to deduce the situation twice more, and unsurprisingly, he noticed more clues. The celestial ship slowly descended and hovered three zhang above the ground. Xue Qingtan left alone and stood on a rugged, gray-white boulder below.

As she lightly waved her jade-like hand, casting a series of profound and mysterious spiritual incantations, the surrounding space immediately reacted, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

As the light flashed, ripples spread outwards in layers of space, seemingly slow but actually fast, expanding in all directions.

"Hmm? I hope this won't be noticed by outsiders?"

The elegant and beautiful Bai Qingyi asked with a slight frown.

She astutely noticed that these spreading spatial ripples showed no signs of abating and could still be clearly perceived from millions of miles away.

"That's true, there's no way to avoid it."

Meng Feiyu, with her charming and stunning beauty, said in a low voice, "Perhaps it won't be long before cultivators from other forces notice something amiss and come to investigate."

Ling Changqing didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter. Once we've entered the depths of the Immortal Mansion ruins first, their arrival will be pointless."

Bai Qingyi thought about it and agreed. These kinds of things are all about first come, first served. Once you get the opportunity, you don't need to worry about the others.

After several dozen breaths, the commotion caused by Xue Qingtan grew louder and louder, the ground rippled like waves, and large patches of gray and black spots gradually appeared, while the temperature rose sharply.

Strange tremors resounded at the level of divine sense, one after another.

It looks as if some ancient behemoth of unimaginable size has ended its long slumber and is slowly awakening.

Then, a large expanse of crimson light emerged from the sky above, with spiraling streams of light constantly emerging and dividing, quickly stretching across the sky, dazzling and mesmerizing.

"Such a big commotion?"

Luo Binghu's brows furrowed slightly. She feared that soon, all the cultivators on the entire continent would know, and then…

"My husband, I'm all better now!"

At this moment, the snow-green sandalwood on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Before her, a circular light gate, more than ten feet in diameter and covered with beautiful tassel patterns, slowly appeared and then solidified.

A mysterious, profound, and ancient aura emanated from the portal, but Ling Changqing did not sense any danger.

"So, shall we... just go in?"

Ling Changqing asked.

"Yes, we can just go in. We don't need to worry about anything else. They won't cause us any trouble."

Xue Qingtan explained with a smile that these unusual phenomena were unavoidable occurrences when the Doumu Immortal Palace opened, and there was no need to worry about them.

Once the core formation and restrictions of Doumu Immortal Palace are mastered, no matter how many cultivators come later, they will only be easy prey.

So, Meng Feiyu put away the Heavenly Boat, and then the beauties, together with Ling Changqing, entered the depths of the circular light gate.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, atop a steep, towering peak, two sprightly old men in flowing robes are engrossed in a game of chess.

Just a moment later, one of the old men inadvertently looked up, and his eyes immediately changed.

"Huh? What... what's that noise over there?"

He held a chess piece in his hand, his expression filled with disbelief.

His close friend across from him glanced back and suddenly stood up: "Has another ancient immortal abode relic been discovered? And it doesn't look like one of those ordinary immortal abodes?"

"Brother Yan, this is a rare opportunity,"

The old man smiled and said, "This place isn't far, so it's clear this is a predestined connection between us!"

"Let's not delay, let's go take a look!"

The two old men at the Nascent Soul stage said no more, summoned their magic weapons, and vanished in a flash of light.

As time went by, the extraordinary phenomena that Doumu Immortal Palace had created were seen by more and more cultivators, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Azure Sea Continent.

In a short time, the high-ranking members of various forces, including the Fire God Palace, the Crimson Shadow Demon Sect, the Ye Family, the Yu Family, the Mysterious Maiden Palace, and the Shaohao Immortal Sect, all learned of this matter.

However, this meant nothing to Ling Changqing, who had already entered the depths of the Immortal Mansion ruins with a group of beauties.

Before long, large groups of cultivators appeared, all heading towards the legendary ruins of the Doumu Immortal Palace in the heart of the continent.
