Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Aowu rummaged around inside the dragon egg and pulled out the hand bone again. In just a short while, the temperature inside the dragon egg had become frighteningly high, like being in a sauna.

"There's no sound. I think he might be autistic."

Autistic?

What is the purpose of a pill?

"Young man... has the Celestial Palace truly been destroyed?"

A strange fluctuation emanated from the pill, and a weary and aged voice echoed in his mind.

Li Xia nodded, as if stating a fact unrelated to him, and indeed, it had nothing to do with him:

"That's right, it's destroyed. The Yunlan Protective Array did not protect against the Great Collapse of the Void, or rather, it did not completely protect against it. The entire Cangyuan Realm collapsed."

However, a small portion of the Canglan Immortal Palace survived, though all its inhabitants perished. Some of the spirit beasts, however, survived and mutated.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The fluctuations suddenly intensified, and the voice in my mind almost roared:

"Our Cangyuan Realm belongs to the Holy Land. The Holy Land will absolutely not sit idly by when Cangyuan is in trouble."

"Boss, the Holy Land is Transcendence. Many subordinate forces used to refer to Transcendence as the Holy Land..."

Awoo sighed and said in the team channel:

"I do want to manage this, but how can I manage it? The entire Cangyuan Realm has been impacted by the Great Collapse and is still hidden in the void."

If the void energy hadn't suddenly become abundant, it probably wouldn't have manifested at all.

After shouting, Li Huodan fell into a long silence again, followed by a long sigh. Suddenly, the entire pill began to shimmer with a golden-red light, and a terrifying power gathered within it.

Li Xia and Aowu felt as if an electric current was shooting up their spines and straight to the top of their heads, making their scalps tingle. Every cell in their bodies seemed to be screaming for them to run away.

"The Holy Land stood idly by... Now that the Celestial Palace is gone, I have no desire to live any longer in this world. I will go with the Celestial Palace..."

Li Xia: ???

Awoo: ???

Holy crap, this pill is about to self-destruct!!!

"and many more!"

At this critical moment of life and death, Li Xia's brain was working frantically.

A sudden inspiration struck him, and he shouted loudly:

"Who said the Celestial Palace is deserted?"

The golden-red light shimmering on the pill suddenly paused for a moment. The aged voice echoed in his mind again:

"There are still people in my ancestral palace? That's impossible. Even the Cloud Ripples Protective Array couldn't withstand the Great Collapse of the Void, and the Immortal Palace has already been destroyed. This means that Immortal Venerable Canglan also perished in the collapse."

If the Celestial Venerable were here, he would certainly not have allowed the Celestial Palace to fall into such a dilapidated state.

Young man, don't try to fool me! If you're trying to escape, just put this pill into the furnace and leave on your own.

I'll give you ten breaths.

At that moment, the vague idea in Li Xia's mind took complete shape under the stimulus of life and death:

"I didn't lie to you. There are still people in the Celestial Palace, and I am one of them!"

"you?"

The pill was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, his mockery evident in his voice.

"Are you worthy? With a mere fourth realm cultivation level, you wouldn't even be considered an ordinary disciple in the former Immortal Palace."

Enraged, it lunged forward and slammed its paw onto the pill:

"The boss isn't worthy? If the boss isn't worthy, then who is!"

Let me tell you, in every respect, only the eldest son can inherit this celestial palace.

Cangyuan Realm was once a subordinate force of the Transcendent Hall, and Li Xia was the first representative of the Transcendent Hall.

Both morally and logically, the remaining Canglan Immortal Palace belongs to Li Xia.

But they couldn't say that, because they hadn't forgotten that the five great halls were watching from outside the Ruins of the Broken Realm!

"Transcending the Hall of Fame" is absolutely a forbidden word among forbidden words; it would probably be banned as soon as it appears.

Those halls were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, their eyes wide as they searched everywhere.

When the time comes, we'll see, lo and behold! There's still a remnant of the Transcendent One here!

Li Xia remained silent for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out the jade token, holding it out in front of the pill:

Am I qualified to enter the Celestial Palace and become a true disciple?

A gentle ripple spread across the pill once more, and a golden-red light flickered on its surface for a moment.

The aged voice, filled with surprise, echoed in my mind:

"A guest elder's jade token?! You, how do you possess a guest elder's jade token from the Celestial Palace? And at the Lingxu level no less?"

Li Xia calmly said:

"Naturally, I passed the Celestial Palace's guest elder assessment, and all three tests were at the Heavenly Armor level."

"The Azure Wave Formation wasn't completely destroyed?"

"That's right, if it's damaged, even this little celestial palace will probably be gone..."

Li Huodan let out a long sigh:

“Those at the Lingxu level are indeed qualified to become true disciples of my Immortal Palace.”

It's a pity. If it were during the heyday of my Immortal Palace, even a guest elder at the Spirit Void level would probably have made the Immortal Palace's golden bell ring.

Even the elders will personally come to invite you to join the Immortal Palace. That would be a meteoric rise to power, and from then on, you would never lack resources.

As long as you don't perish, you will surely have a place in the future void.

"Therefore we can rebuild the fairy palace."

Li Xia said calmly:

"We will build it brick by brick, room by room, and one day the celestial palace will return to the world."

"That's impossible. The Celestial Palace is so magnificent; how could you rebuild it all by yourself?"

"Why not? You can come and watch me rebuild it."

Li Xia's tone of voice was like that of someone trying to seduce a naive young girl—no, it couldn't be called seduction.

Because he genuinely had such a plan.

The Fire Pill stopped speaking, but both the man and the dragon could sense that it was thinking.

It even led them to a very untimely idea: how exactly does a pill think?

"You can have Bendan follow you if you want."

The Fire-Separating Pill finally spoke again:

"But you must first join the Immortal Palace and become its true disciple. If you can gain the Immortal Palace's approval, I will do my best to help you."

"Okay, I agree."

Li Xia agreed without hesitation; what else could she do but agree?

The Fire-Separating Pill is not an ordinary piece of equipment, nor is it a consumable. It is a sentient pill that cannot even be placed in a personal space.

I can trap it, but I can't stop it from self-destructing.

Moreover, this was originally Li Xia's plan. He was able to succeed through succession, rising from a first-order apostle who had just entered the hall to become the first successor of the transcendent hall.

Then why can't he be promoted from disciple to master of Canglan Immortal Palace through the same succession?

Moreover, as the first acting leader, he is naturally the master of the Cangyuan Realm in terms of law and reason.

The tense atmosphere finally eased, and he let out a long sigh of relief, muttering to himself:

"Really, I'm not bragging!"

Later you'll find out just how terrible the consequences would be if you actually self-destructed.

Li Huodan gave a noncommittal snort:

"Then we'll talk about it later."

Li Xia handed the hand bone to Aowu, ignoring their bickering, and instead determined the direction before heading towards the workshop.

Just now, Qingtian said that there seemed to be some good stuff in the workshop, and the Demon Ape and Ether had already rushed over.

"Let's go to the workshop first!"

......

The inner area was even quieter, with restrictions on the passage of lower-ranking officials, and the silence was almost eerie.

After scratching his head and cheeks for a while, Aowu finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"There's something I'm really curious about, can you tell me?"

Li Huodan replied lazily:

"What is it? If it involves the secrets of the Celestial Palace, I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."

"It's not that the celestial palace is hidden; I'm just curious, purely curious..."

Xiao Long gestured carefully, choosing his words with great caution:

"Even during the Immortal Palace's heyday, a single pill like yours would be consumed immediately upon production. Why would it be so... loyal? Besides, it's strange that a pill possesses sentience..."

Li Xia's ears twitched, and his attention couldn't help but shift slightly in that direction. What Aowu said was actually his question.

Although the alchemy of the Spirit Race states that very high-level pills can develop sentience, that sentience is not merely like the most basic instincts, such as fleeing to avoid being eaten in order to survive.

But there has never been a pill that can communicate, think, and is almost indistinguishable from a real person.

The key thing is that this pill is incredibly loyal; its first reaction upon learning that the Immortal Palace was gone was to self-destruct and go with the Immortal Palace.

It's outrageous!

"Who told you that this pill is meant to be eaten? Who told you that pills are only effective if you eat them?"

Li Huodan's voice was laced with disdain:

"This pill was not made for consumption."

After swallowing a golden elixir, I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven, and that the Immortal Palace followed the path of innate alchemy.

Unlike the consuming alchemy of ordinary people who ingest elixirs to transform energy, the natal alchemy takes "the symbiosis of the elixir and body, and the common origin of the Dao heart" as its core.

The Golden Core and the cultivator are regarded as an equal and symbiotic whole, rather than as a relationship between nourishment and user.

The Golden Elixir is the core of a cultivator's path, and the cultivator is the furnace that warms the Golden Elixir. The two nurture and complement each other, ultimately reaching the supreme realm where the elixir is the Dao and the Dao is the body.

We, the Danling, share the glory and the fate of the Immortal Palace; the same applies to our natal golden core. As long as the core exists, the Dao exists; if the core is destroyed, the person dies.

Li Xia and Ao Wu remained silent. If that's the case, then it's understandable that Li Huo Dan is so loyal to the Immortal Palace.

It can only be said that in the void, there are countless races, and even the methods of cultivation are incredibly diverse.

Even each stage had different names. In the end, for the sake of convenience and uniformity, the Void Races divided the world into levels to measure strength and stages, based on the peak of different world levels, because it could not be complicated or difficult to pronounce.

In addition, given the overwhelming power of the palace, these things followed the palace's rank system.

They just added a word, such as the first realm, the second realm, the third realm, all the way up to the ninth realm.

What kind of splendor exists above the Nine Realms? Li Xia has no idea for the time being, and even Ao Wu doesn't know much about it.

But now is a good opportunity. The Fire Separation Pill, an empty nest pill that has survived from the last era, is now residing alone in the alchemy furnace.

But they seem to know quite a bit; perhaps we could ask them...

Li Xia and Aowu exchanged a glance, and Xiaolong immediately moved closer, trying to seduce Li Huodan:

"Brother Dan, Brother Dan!"

You are experienced and knowledgeable.

Could you tell us what level of expertise is required for the temple's representative service?
