The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

Chapter 83 Star River

"This time, two Western Buddhist supernatural powers were unleashed in one go?" Song Yi was somewhat surprised.

He then turned his gaze to the first silver talisman.

Exorcising spirits is one of the seventy-two earthly arts, and it is usually only performed by orthodox disciples of the Xuanmen sect.

If a wandering immortal or demon were to use this supernatural power to detain mountain gods and local deities, it would be a violation of heavenly law. The spirits summoned would not only fail to help, but would also report to the Heavenly Court and be punished accordingly.

As a sixth-rank True Lord of the Heavenly Court, Song Yi was already able to command mountain gods and local deities, so he naturally did not need to learn this technique.

As for those two Buddhist supernatural powers, they piqued his interest somewhat.

Two Western sages attained enlightenment and created 48,000 Dharma gates, each of which can lead to the attainment of the Way.

Although it is not the true lineage of Pangu, it still possesses its own unique essence of the Way of Heaven.

Otherwise, after the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, those few Great Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect would not have willingly betrayed their sect and joined Buddhism.

Of course, according to the current timeline, none of this has happened yet, but it won't be long.

Although the Treasure Bottle Seal can be used for both offense and defense, its power and effect are quite similar to the Eight Treasures Profound Yellow Pagoda in his hand.

After careful consideration, Song Yi chose the Fearless Lion Seal.

In an instant, countless profound and obscure Buddhist teachings flooded into Song Yi's mind like a tidal wave.

At the end of the Lich War, the two Western Saints, seeing the collapse of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race and the disintegration of the Zhou Tian Star Array, took the opportunity to go to the East and convert many powerful demons to the Western Sect.

Among them, the Sage Zhunti once subdued an ancient golden lion demon god in the far north of the primordial wilderness.

This demon was once a powerful general under the Demon Emperor Jun. In the past, it was extremely fierce and powerful, feeding on fragments of stars. With a single roar, it could shatter the primordial spirit of a Golden Immortal.

Seeing that it was wild and untamed, the Sage Zhunti used the Seven Treasures Tree to suppress its demonic soul and then threw it into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to wash away its violent aura. Finally, he made it completely convert and become a guardian deity of the Western Paradise.

Afterwards, the sage observed the lion's bloodline and supernatural powers, and thus created the Fearless Lion Seal, which is one of the forty-eight thousand Dharma gates.

This seal is extremely yang and strong, specifically designed to subdue all evil spirits and heretics, and can intimidate all demons and monsters.

"If we wait until we unlock the Gold-tier talisman, who knows how many more years that will take."

Song Yi sighed, then went to the Heavenly Crafts Bureau to request a palace to serve as the mortal residence of the Pure and Turbid Palace.

As one of the oldest ancient divine departments in the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Crafts Bureau has a profound history and an extremely long origin.

Upon seeing Song Yi, Lu Ban immediately cupped his hands and smiled, "True Lord, have you come to receive the divine palace of the Pure Turbid Palace?"

Song Yi smiled and returned the greeting: "Indeed, we will have to trouble you with this matter, Venerable Tang."

Then, Lu Ban led Song Yi into a huge treasure vault with strict security.

Looking around, one can see many miniature palaces, like toy models, neatly arranged on the white jade tables all around.

Although these palaces are small in size, they are exquisitely carved and painted.

Furthermore, the palaces exhibit a diverse range of architectural styles, including some with a wild and ancient demon court aesthetic.

However, the Heavenly Court has a strict hierarchy and extremely strict regulations.

As a sixth-rank deity, Song Yi's divine residence was subject to strict regulations regarding its specifications, number of halls, and even materials, which were absolutely forbidden to exceed.

After this selection process, the number of suitable palaces available for him to choose from on the table suddenly became quite small.

Lu Ban pondered for a moment and said, "I know that True Lord has extremely high standards, and ordinary sixth-rank deities are probably not worthy of your attention. However, mansions above the sixth rank involve the rules of the Heavenly Court and cannot be easily overstepped. However, I do know of an ancient ruin, a palace left behind after the Demon Court collapsed in the past. If True Lord is interested, you can go and explore it."

"The ruins of an ancient demon court?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yi's expression shifted slightly.

In its heyday, the ancient Demon Court dominated the universe, ruling over all the heavens. It possessed two supreme demon emperors, ten demon saints, three hundred and sixty-five ancient demon gods who ruled the star fields, and forty-eight thousand powerful demon generals.

As for the countless demon soldiers, their numbers are immeasurable.

At its peak, the ancient demon court even carved out one-tenth of the entire celestial realm.

It should be noted that the vastness of the ancient realms was comparable to the boundless primordial land.

Although the current Heavenly Court has inherited the Mandate of Heaven and possesses thirty-three layers of heaven, it is still like a pearl and the bright moon compared to the ancient Demon Court of yesteryear.

Seeing that Song Yi was interested, Lu Ban reminded him, "However, Star Lord, you must also be cautious. Those ancient ruins are mostly extremely dangerous. Although I have known their location all these years, I have never dared to go deep into them. Although Star Lord's true spirit is on the list and is immortal, destroying a Dharma incarnation would be a great loss. You need to carefully consider the pros and cons."

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I know what I'm doing."

Song Yi nodded with a smile.

Then, Lu Ban took out a scroll of celestial map and marked the location of the ruins, which was located in an ancient area in the southern part of the celestial river.

Finally, he added, "If True Lord can truly find an ancient demon palace, I will personally repair and renovate it for you. After all, I have always admired the craftsmanship of building ancient heavenly palaces!"

"Then I thank you in advance, sir."

Song Yi bowed respectfully and then left the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

He did not bring any subordinates with him on this trip to the ancient ruins.

After all, the ruins of the ancient demon court are infamous, and no one knows what dangers lurk within.

If one were to encounter an ancient remnant formation, or a demon god or vengeful spirit, even an ordinary true immortal would only be throwing their life away in vain.

After exiting the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court, Song Yi's figure transformed into a stream of light and vanished into the vast and boundless Heavenly Realm.

He used the Cloud Riding Technique from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, a superior escape technique of Taoism that is widely known and used by almost all the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court.

They flew across the sky for about several hours.

Suddenly, the world opened up before them, and a vast, boundless river, exuding an endless primordial aura, stretched across the void.

The river water is no ordinary water, but is formed by the condensation of the weak water of the nine heavens mixed with the radiance of the sun, moon and stars.

Looking out, starlight flows and the sunset glows in all directions.

That is the Milky Way, also known as the Milky Way or the Star River.

Its widest and most expansive parts can stretch for thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.

Even the Yellow River, the greatest river in the world where human fortune gathers, or the River of Oblivion in the depths of the underworld where all things perish, pale in comparison to the starry river before them, appearing as insignificant as a stream.

Even more awe-inspiring was the sight of countless enormous creatures rising and falling in the Milky Way.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be fragments of ancient stars shattered in the vast expanse of space.

They flow endlessly into the Milky Way, following the trajectory of the bottom of the stars in the heavens.

"It seems that the Heavenly River Navy has not yet been established, and that third-generation disciple of the Human Sect has not yet ascended to heaven to become a god," Song Yi thought to himself.
