All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

"If you're thirsty, drink from the spring; if you're hungry, eat some spiritual medicine. I'll be back as soon as possible," Li Yi said as a final instruction.

He wasn't sure what was there either.

They couldn't even guarantee safety or danger, because everything about that palace was unknown to them.

Li Yi walked slowly, his steps light and deliberate, the Black God Suit already covering him.

谷鍧

Driven by runes, a layer of dragon scale armor quickly appeared on his body.

He knew that the methods he was using were nothing compared to those of the palace's owner.

If there's anything truly dangerous in there, the only thing you can do is run.

This is the safest way; many other things are probably insignificant to the owner of this palace.

A secret realm, such a vast secret realm.

Although the medicinal herbs planted in the herb field are not of a high grade.

The sheer scale of constructing this secret realm, along with the palace within it, is terrifying enough.

Li Yi stepped inside with a light step, and he could clearly feel that he was crossing the gap between two worlds.

In reality, this is not a separation between worlds, but merely a spatial barrier, except that this spatial barrier is not dangerous.

He could instinctively sense that he was safe, at least for the time being.

He took a step forward, and everything in front of him disappeared quickly, only to reappear immediately afterward.

He was inside a palace, but the palace appeared to be much larger than it appeared from the outside.

Looking up, the palace's cloud-topped peaks seemed to rise to an immeasurable height, almost reaching the heavens, with no end in sight.

In front of them stood hundreds of golden pillars carved with various ferocious beasts, their inscriptions seemingly still alive, radiating a terrifying and menacing aura.

Li Yi only glanced at it, but he felt as if he was so shocked that he needed to be careful.

Looking ahead, at the very center of the palace, there is a high platform, and on the platform, there is a figure.

It's blurry and I can't see it clearly.

However, below the high platform were countless futons, an innumerable number of futons.

It is easy to imagine that when this palace was at its peak, many people must have come here to listen to the Taoist teachings.

Li Yi looked at the figures on the altar, which were incredibly distant and unseen.

He strained his eyes, trying to make out the person's true appearance.

No matter how you look at it, it's all blurry at such a great distance.

After exploring the area around the palace, he could sense that things were very different here.

It seems to bring one closer to the origin of heaven and earth, to the great Dao of nature. Cultivating here would surely be of great help.

Li Yi stepped forward and saw a person sitting cross-legged on a high platform in the center of the palace.

His body had long since decayed, leaving only his bones, tinged with a golden hue, remaining there.

Below the high platform, countless ordinary groups had long since been pulverized into powder, and some had even disappeared into the world.

Time is the most terrifying and ruthless thing; it can wash away and erode most things.

Both these objects and lives will vanish into thin air.

Li Yi walked forward, and the golden, gleaming corpse gradually revealed itself.

His entire body was radiating golden divine light, and his bones were covered with countless intricate patterns, a result of resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

However, his chest was completely black, as if something extremely filthy had contaminated it, forcing him to perish there before his death.

Li Yi could roughly deduce that this supreme expert had been ambushed and poisoned.

In the end, he had no choice but to perish here, and he didn't even know what level of cultivation his opponent possessed.

However, to be able to set up a secret realm within a secret realm, one must at least be a powerful expert at the Sendai level.

Ordinary cultivators could not do this; it's just that we don't know what realm the other party has reached.

He couldn't refer to the details either, since the other party couldn't possibly come back to life and tell him.

Regardless, this place should be safe; something seems to exist in the main hall, very vaguely.

He could sense it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. The stronger one's physical body, the stronger one's five senses, and naturally, this would bring many troubles.

There are things I can sense, but I can't quite put my finger on what they are.

"I apologize," Li Yi said softly as he approached the skeleton.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a blanket and used it to collect the remains.

This palace is the only one that could possibly be inhabited, and it seems quite beneficial for spiritual practice.

Since we can't leave for a while, we need a place to stay.

I don't mind having a skeleton here, but I'm afraid it will frighten my daughter.

After disposing of the remains, he felt as if he were being summoned by some unseen force.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he could feel that the entire hall seemed to be getting closer to him, which was a very strange feeling.

But on second thought, it's not particularly strange, after all, this hall can be considered a small world to some extent.

It's strange for a grand hall to feel close to oneself, but it's not so strange for a small world to feel close to oneself.

Perhaps it was because he had collected the remains of the owner of this small world.

"World consciousness? World spirit?" Li Yi asked tentatively, his voice echoing in the hall, but there was no response.

Generally speaking, such small worlds are not managed by their creators.

Most of them have a spirit that helps the creator manage the entire world.

But at this moment, his voice echoed in the hall, yet there was no response.

Chapter 105 Opportunity

Li Yi surveyed the entire palace, but his shouts went unanswered.

Perhaps it was because this secret realm had been silent for so long that even the spirits of the realm were asleep.

This palace is vast and boundless; even with my current strength, it would be difficult to fully explore it.

It was clear that there were countless prayer cushions placed around, indicating that when the secret realm was at its peak, countless people must have been here listening to the owner of that skeleton preach and expound the Dharma.

Now everything has vanished into thin air, completely disappeared into the past.

Li Yi walked outside. Now that he could confirm that this place was safe, that was for the best.

However, to his slight disappointment, the master of the secret realm did not leave behind any inherited cultivation technique.

If he stays, he won't need to search for those holy lands and sects.

It's just a pity that I still don't know who the owner of this palace is.

However, even if he didn't know or had never heard of this person, he wasn't surprised.

Throughout countless millennia, countless powerful beings have been born, as numerous as smoke and as vast as the sea.

Apart from the top few emperors, other powerful figures, even if they leave behind their names, will disappear over hundreds of thousands of years.

Time is the most ruthless thing; it can make everything vanish like smoke.

Only the most powerful can claim to leave their mark on this world.

When Li Yi arrived outside the palace, Nannan was sitting quietly to the side, very well-behaved and obedient.

"Brother!" She waved happily when she saw Li Yi return.

“It’s very safe inside. Didn’t you want to go in? I’ll take you inside to have a look.” He took Nannan’s little hand, and the two walked into the palace together.

The palace floor was engraved with countless runes, the material of which was unknown.

It is extremely sturdy, and even with all one's strength, it cannot be damaged in the slightest.

As Nannan entered the palace, she immediately felt an indescribable sensation that compelled her to move forward.

Her bare, tender little feet touched the ground, and with each step she took, she felt as if the great hall was coming back to life.

The Dao patterns, as smooth as water, were constantly shimmering and emitting bursts of light.

Dao patterns are the traces left by the Great Dao in its operation. Ordinary people cannot even observe them, let alone carve them.

The powerful figure who built this palace was able to carve intricate Dao patterns all over it.

More importantly, the fusion of these elements has somehow managed to maintain the existence of this palace.

Every step Nannan takes here seems to resonate with the entire palace.

Li Yi quietly retreated to the side; she could sense it.

Nannan's opportunity has arrived; this may be her chance to cultivate herself.

Throughout history, those who have achieved great things have needed a combination of talent, insight, and opportunity.

Even if all three are present, becoming a powerful figure remains extremely difficult and has a very low probability of success.

Nannan walked very fast, her small body rushing across the palace, and the tens of thousands of feet of road soon came into view.

She came to the distance of the altar and looked up into the distance.

Finally, she set her sights on a meditation cushion in front of her, which was emitting a wonderful fragrance.

It was as if the sounds of Taoism were echoing in my ears, and at this moment it seemed as if a great being was expounding profound and mysterious teachings here.

Li Yi could hear it but couldn't understand it; it was too profound for him to grasp at the moment.

Nannan was also puzzled. If she were stronger, she might be able to understand some things, but she hadn't started cultivating yet and was too young.

Expecting her to understand too much is simply wishful thinking.

Suddenly, the entire palace seemed to change, and countless mysterious golden rays shot into the sky.
