Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 268 Martial Emperor
The Epang Palace Divine Realm sounds very grand; it must be a divine realm in another world that reflects the ancient Qin Dynasty.

In this respect, it also corresponds to what Qin Jiuyue said about the imperial seal.

Qin Jiuyue sent him deep into the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls to check on Qin Liuhe's situation. He specifically emphasized that Qin Liuhe possessed the Imperial Seal, an important divine artifact.

Qin Jiuyue also briefly explained the definition of a divine artifact, which corresponds to otherworldly wonders in myths and legends of the real world, possessing all sorts of incredible abilities.

This ability differs from the martial arts' control over source energy; it is closer to the divine power of demons and gods, hence this wondrous object is called a divine artifact.

Gao Wu had witnessed the power of the Pantheon and knew the might of its artifacts. Hai Wuji had also told him about the artifacts, but not as clearly as Qin Jiuyue.

Clearly, Qin Jiuyue has a deeper understanding of divine artifacts.

There was a spatial entrance deep within the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, which was also within Qin Jiuyue's expectations.

Gao Wu felt that his senior brother's judgment was very insightful, perhaps even better than his teacher's.

The problem is that the entrance to the space only has a message from the Martial Emperor, and there is no Imperial Seal.

Judging from the message, Empress Wu may not even have been in the Epang Palace. The message seems more like a warning from Empress Wu after she left the Epang Palace, advising later generations not to enter lightly.

If even the Empress Wu said to "be cautious in advancing," then it must be extremely dangerous.

Gao Wu stood on the high platform and looked down at the main hall, which was completely empty. He couldn't see Chu Shenxiu and Song Mingyue at all.

He didn't know Chu Shenxiu's situation, but he could sense that Song Mingyue was still fighting in the main hall.

However, Xiao Song probably hasn't finished the first cycle yet.

The first cycle allows for flexible rest periods; as long as you remain stationary, the next round of attacks will not be triggered.

Gao Wu could sense Xiao Song through spiritual resonance, but he couldn't see her. Through his Yin Spirit observation, he could see that the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls was vaguely divided into different levels.

Although everyone appears to have entered the same Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, they are actually in different mirror spaces.

The high platform is the central hub of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls; standing here provides a clearer view.

Gao Wu could even vaguely see the enormous body of the alien spirit, which gathered and rippled like mist.

He really wanted to try the Qilin Divine Heroic Spell, but he held back.

Such a massive alien spirit can manifest in a real material state, unlike alien spirits like mechanical warhorses.

Judging by its rank, it's at least level nine. To think one could control such a massive alien spirit using the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra is indeed a bit of a pipe dream.

If this thing had any intelligence, who knows what would happen if it were stimulated like this.

At that time, not only was Xiao Song in danger, but he was in great danger as well.

Gao Wu glanced at the deep cave entrance beneath his feet. He didn't really want to take any risks, but since he had already come all this way, it wouldn't be right to just leave like this.

He decided to try using the Yin Spirit anyway. Even if the Yin Spirit was destroyed, it could be reconstituted, but the spiritual power would be severely damaged. Fortunately, it could be recovered.

He did this not only for Qin Jiuyue, but also because he was really curious and wanted to see what the legendary Divine Realm was like.

The Yin spirit circled once above the black hole before plunging into it.

Even with his Yin Spirit, Gao Wu couldn't see his surroundings clearly; he could only sense that the passage was tightly sealed off, impenetrable even to his Yin Spirit.
As the Yin Spirit continued to delve deeper, the concentration of source energy also increased rapidly, and the Yin Spirit saw a glimmer of light ahead.

With a burst of speed, the formless and intangible Yin spirit rushed into the light, and a vast and magnificent palace appeared in the Yin spirit's eyes.

The palaces were built against the mountainside, stretching for hundreds of miles without end. There were countless pavilions and towers, mostly connected by covered walkways and bridges.

The central black hall is built on a rammed earth platform, and it is over a hundred feet high, exuding a majestic and imposing aura.

The palace is predominantly black, interspersed with red and green hues, creating a harmonious yet varied color scheme. Its overall style is majestic and imposing, yet also magnificent. A small portion of the palace is partially hidden by the mountain mists, appearing and disappearing in a dreamlike, ethereal way…

Gao Wu knew this was the Epang Palace divine realm, but he was still somewhat surprised to see such a massive palace complex.

The Epang Palace in front of me doesn't look like an illusion. So who went to such great lengths to build this palace in another world?

Such a massive project would be impossible to build, let alone in ancient times, even in modern times. The main reason is that the palace complex is so magnificent and enormous that it doesn't seem like a place for people to live, but rather like a celestial palace.

Calling it the realm of gods is truly a fitting description.

The vast palace complex was surrounded by layers of special spatial barriers, enclosing the Epang Palace.

To enter the Epang Palace, one must pass through the grand and wide triple gates in front.

The gates on either side of the triple gate are actually huge high platforms, connected to the central main gate by high walls. The main gate has three large gates, and when the gates are open, there is a straight passage leading directly to the central hall.

In front of the main gate is a plaza paved with thick bluestone slabs, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square meters.

Standing in front of the gate was a bronze giant sixty meters tall. The giant had a square and broad body, held a long halberd, and looked like a heavily armored warrior.

The bronze giants all have black eyes, and if you look closely, you can see a shimmering light in their eyes.

"The Twelve Bronze Men!" Gao Wu knew a little about the legends of the Qin Dynasty, and he immediately thought of the origin of the bronze giants.

From a normal perspective, the bronze giant is equivalent to a twenty-story building; it is not only tall, but also has a human-like appearance.

The bronze giant's mere presence exerted immense pressure on Gao Wu.

He knew perfectly well that this thing only looked like bronze, and he didn't know what metal it was actually made of.

Judging from the quality, it must be at least tens of thousands of tons!

Gao Wu watched for a while and then decided to give it a try. After all, the Yin spirit was special, and the Golden Man might not be able to see it.

As the Yin spirit drifted into the plaza, when it was less than a few dozen meters away from the golden man, the golden man's eyes suddenly flashed with divine light. The bronze halberd in his hand slammed to the ground, and the surging source energy impacted the air, transforming into layers of halos of light.

The Yin spirit was like a leaf swept by a gale, tumbling and flying outwards with the surging source energy.

This was the first time Gao Wu had encountered such a situation. In the past, although powerful martial arts divine intent could affect the Yin spirit, it would not directly touch the Yin spirit.

The source power unleashed by the Golden Man could cover all levels, and even special Yin spirits couldn't escape it!

The churning Yin spirit retreated hundreds of meters away, almost reaching the entrance to the space, before finally stopping.

Gao Wu felt as if a needle had been inserted between his eyebrows, and his head was throbbing with pain. Although his Yin spirit had not collapsed, this attack had greatly impacted his physical spiritual power.

The Jin people's power instilled a sense of awe in Gao Wu. This was only a Yin spirit; if his true form were to enter, he feared he wouldn't be able to withstand even this initial attack…

Gao Wu immediately felt the urge to retreat, but the outer perimeter was already so dangerous, and the Divine Realm was not a place he could afford to dabble in!
"Spirit God, are you a human?" A voice suddenly came from behind Yin Shen, startling Gao Wu. How could there be someone here?
Yin spirits actually observe their environment through spiritual power, so there are no blind spots for them.

Only when Gao Wu needs it will the Yin Spirit transform into a state similar to human eyes to observe. However, even in this state, it can see what is behind it, but it cannot see anyone coming from behind.

The Yin spirit turned around and saw that the other party was an old man with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His features were upright and dignified. He was wearing a black and gold robe and looked quite similar to Qin Jiuyue, only more profound and dignified.

"Emperor Wu!" Gao Wu immediately recognized the other party. He was very surprised. Qin Liuhe was really in the Epang Palace!
Moreover, Qin Liuhe was actually able to see his Yin spirit; this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.

Yin spirits cannot express emotions like humans, but Qin Liuhe seemed to see Gao Wu's surprise and asked again, "Do you know me?"

Gao Wu honestly replied, "I know him."
