Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 653

Chapter 653 Lingbao Palace

“Is this Lingbao Palace?”

On the day when the mountain gate was opened, there was already a commotion outside Lingbao Palace.

The flow of people was bustling, in addition to the independent cultivators and ordinary people who wanted to become disciples, there were also people from various major forces who came to offer gifts.

Many immortals and demons in Wujie Mountain fought for the task, but in the end, Ao Xin got the task thanks to a little friendship they had in the past.

She stood on the deck of a flying boat made of white jade, looking towards the direction of Lingbao Palace.

Although the Lingbao Palace is called a palace, to outsiders, it is more like a suspended island.

The vast and mighty air currents of mysterious water linger around the suspended island, making it look like a giant black turtle swimming in the boundless ocean.

“This imperial weapon seems to be several times stronger than the previous ‘Green Emperor Palace’…”

Ao Xin sighed, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw many fellow practitioners.

“The original Demon Sect’s envoy turned out to be this person, the Taoist Seven Killers?”

“It is rumored that the Black Dragon Demon Emperor was born in a secret place in the Seven Killing Demon Palace. It can be considered a coincidence…”

Ao Xin took a quick glance and saw the congratulatory teams from the Wahuang Palace, the Sanye Sect, and the Guiling Sect.

Basically, all the Chaos Realm forces in the Qingyuan Realm have come.

As for the forces of celestial demons and celestial immortals, there were countless of them.

Most of them ride on magic weapons, palaces, flying boats, or fairy beasts. Each and every one of them has an immortal look and a demonic aura. In a word, they are not like ordinary people.

And on the earth, there are densely packed independent cultivators and ordinary people.

Most of them were not even at the Soul Realm, but their eyes were burning as they looked at the Jade Palace above the sky.

“One day, I will become this high and mighty immortal!”

A young man wearing animal skins on the ground said enviously.

“It’s him… Dongshan Ao, the young master of the Dongshan clan. It is said that he can resist the great cultivation of the Yuanshen with the strength of his physical body!”

In fact, even if ordinary people who are truly powerless hear the news, they rarely make it here.

Nowadays, most of those who want to become disciples have some shallow cultivation.

Or maybe it was a mortal who happened to be nearby and heard the news, so he came over, kneeling every three steps or knocking his head every nine steps.

“The Lord of Lingbao Palace, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor said – there is no discrimination in teaching!”

“The Qing Emperor Palace has been destroyed. Although we have not committed any sins, we are still in danger… We must join it and seek refuge.”

A group of foxes came nearby at some point, chattering and whispering to each other.

They are a branch of the demon clan, called the Baishan Clan, but their situation has never been very good.

Even when the Green Emperor Palace was still around, they were oppressed and even hunted.

For carnivorous monsters such as tiger monsters and wolf monsters, there is no difference between human flesh and venison, rabbit meat, and fox meat.

Therefore, even when the Qingdi Palace originally existed, most of these White Mountain Foxes were targets of hunting.

“Chief, I will definitely become a disciple of the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, even if I am only a maidservant!”

A white fox with snow-white fur without a trace of other colors arched its paw and uttered a young but firm voice.

Ding, ding, ding!
At this moment, the sound of bells emerged from Lingbao Palace.

The sound of bells and drums was mixed with other heavenly music.

All the monks who heard this sound instantly felt their minds empty and as if they had been cleansed.

Many cultivators below the Soul Formation Realm and even the Soul Formation Realm did not care about their manners and sat cross-legged directly, and then were overjoyed: “I have made a breakthrough!”

“Hearing heavenly music for one day is worth three months of hard work? This is the sound of enlightenment!”

“How mysterious! It seems to have the effect of purifying the soul and removing the inner demons?”

…

Amidst the chaos, Fang Xing’s clear voice rang out: “Today, Lingbao Palace is opening its doors to teach everyone… Those who wish to become my ‘Black Dragon’s’ disciples should follow the ‘Tongtian Terrace’ upwards. There are many tests inside, and those who pass can become my disciples!”

“As for the envoys of congratulations from all parties, please go directly to Lingbao Palace.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lingbao Palace that looked like a giant turtle stopped moving, and one restriction after another was opened.

Boom!
A jade-like hill emerged and landed steadily on the ground.

There are many stairs on the hill, densely packed and difficult to count, and finally seem to lead to the gate of Lingbao Palace.

“Thank you, Demon Emperor!”

The monks all bowed and then controlled the flying boat and palace to fly towards Lingbao Palace.

As for the more independent cultivators and mortals… they all swarmed towards Baiyu Mountain and the Stairway to Heaven.

Although Baiyu Mountain looks small, it is actually very huge. It must have been refined into a mysterious space, which is large enough to accommodate all the disciples to receive tests at the same time.

“Huh?”

At this moment, Ao Xin’s demon consciousness swept and saw several streams of light. He was shocked: “It’s ok to have so many Yuanshen cultivators who want to become my disciples, but there is actually this person?”

“It’s him!”

“Yiling Sanren? I thought this Yuanshen Overlord came to congratulate, but I didn’t expect that he came to become my disciple…”

“This person is a casual cultivator. Although he has the strength of a Soul Overlord, he has always been carefree… I didn’t expect that he would decide to join the Lingbao Palace. Maybe he wants to seek a chance to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm? But it is more difficult for a Soul Overlord to break through…”

The celestial immortals and celestial demons communicate with each other through their spiritual consciousness.

Lingbao Palace is a force in the Chaos Realm, so it is quite normal for soul cultivators and even immortals and demons to want to join it.

Although a soul overlord is rarer than a celestial being or a celestial demon, it only made them slightly surprised.

A moment later, in Lingbao Palace, above the main hall.

Fang Xing was wearing a black robe and sitting cross-legged.

“Ao Xin of Wujie Mountain congratulates the Demon Emperor on founding his own sect, and offers three ‘Wanling Fruits’, ten ‘Chaos Crystals’, and ninety-nine cauldrons of ‘Water and Fire Liquid’…”

Ao Xin was the first to step forward, bowed respectfully, and presented the gift list.

Fang Xing smiled slightly: “Fellow Daoist Ao Xin, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Many of my old friends have passed away. Seeing you promoted to a Heavenly Demon, I am very relieved…”

When the envoys from other forces saw this scene, they looked at each other and complained in their hearts.

Rumor has it that the Black Dragon Demon Emperor is unruly, cold-blooded and ruthless… Now it seems that this is not accurate?

Moreover, Wujie Mountain and Qingdi Palace were originally hostile to each other, but now that Qingdi Palace has disappeared and Lingbao Palace has taken its place, it is now on good terms with Wujie Mountain.

With this increase and decrease, the power of Wujie Mountain has greatly increased!
Representatives of many forces have been secretly thinking about how to deal with these two families in the future.

“The original Demon Sect, the Seven Killing Taoist, congratulates the Demon Emperor on opening his palace.”

After Ao Xin left, the Taoist Qi Sha stood up, lowered his eyebrows and said: “I offer you ten Chaos Crystals and a Seven Sha Sword…”

“Seven Killing Swords? Taoist Qisha has changed his nature?”

“This is the treasure that helped him achieve enlightenment. Is this completely giving up on the path to enlightenment?”

“Hehe, it is rumored that this person once settled the cause and effect with the Black Emperor. Don’t you know the temper of Taoist Qi Sha? If you don’t give up the Tao this time, you will die…”

A series of gloating glances fell on Taoist Qi Sha.

Fang Xing took the Qi Sha sword, looking down on it as an imperial weapon, and threw it back casually: “My friend Qi Sha, you are too kind. My karma with the Original Demon Sect has long been settled… You should take this sword back.”

This is not because he is magnanimous, but because he has indeed resolved the cause and effect.

Moreover, if they don’t move the trees and establish trust, how can those big forces feel at ease? How can the Wahuang Palace be willing to send the resources?

What is the Seven Killing Taoist? The compensation from the Wahuang Palace is the biggest part!

“Thank you, Demon Emperor!”

Taoist Qi Sha held up the Qi Sha Sword, bowed simply, and stepped aside.

“Emissary from the Nuwa Palace, send…”

“Sanye Sect’s envoy, congratulations…”

…

One by one, the envoys stepped forward and respectfully presented gifts. Of course, only the forces in the fourteen realms had such an honor.

Those thirteen realms, whose highest ancestors only have the power of celestial immortals and celestial demons, can only register outside and then eat at the buffet.

“good.”

Fang Xing quickly accepted the gift and smiled: “It just so happens that today my Lingbao Palace is opening its doors to recruit disciples. You can be a witness.”

He snapped his fingers, and scenes of mysterious light emerged, among which were scenes of many talented people climbing the steps to heaven.

…

Tongtian Terrace is extraordinary.

Even if millions of monks poured in together, they were all assigned to different spaces.

Dongshan Ao looked around and found that there was no one there, only a white jade staircase in front of him that led directly to the sky.

“It was actually moved to a separate space, which completely avoids interference from other people… That Lingbao Venerable, Black Dragon Demon Emperor… is indeed much more merciful than the Qing Emperor Palace.”

Dongshan Ao knew the cruelty and bloodiness of the Qingdi Palace selection.

In fact, he was a human and was not even qualified to participate in the selection for menial tasks.

Well, the only use of their Dongshan clan before was to store food rations and select some elite disciples to serve as opponents during the test by the demon clan.

It is just like the test that the big human sects give to their disciples, which is to go to a secret realm to kill monsters.

The test for the demon clan is naturally to kill people in a secret realm.

Dongshan Ao, as the young patriarch of the Dongshan clan, is a rare person with a talent for physical cultivation. With the help of some simple methods, he learned to strengthen his body without a teacher and reached a level comparable to the third level of the Yuanshen.

“Become an immortal! I must become an immortal!”

The boy in animal skin touched the large bone bow on his back and walked with a firm step: “No matter what the test is, I will definitely pass it.”

Step!
He stepped onto the first step, his expression slightly changed: “It seems that the force on my body has increased by ten pounds? Is this the kind of test that keeps increasing the pressure?”

Dongshan Ao stepped onto the second step, feeling even greater pressure, and became more certain of his guess.

Whoosh!
The next moment, he began to explode, his figure turned into a shadow, and rushed straight into the sky.

“Level 1,000!”

Step!
He stepped onto the thousandth step, and his expression suddenly changed.

The pressure suddenly increased by an order of magnitude compared to before, and what was even more terrifying was that another illusion was generated!
In the space that Dongshan Ao had not seen, a fox with snow-white fur had already stepped onto the 2,000th step.

This is a platform, and there is actually a puppet opposite it, with red light coming out of its eyes and emitting fluctuations of its soul.

“Spirit puppet?”

The White Mountain Fox was startled.

“You have to defeat me before you can continue on your way.”

The puppet made a mechanical sound, and the sword in its hand instantly turned into a shadow.

“Damn it…”

The White Mountain Fox gnashed its teeth. As a demon race that originally lived within the territory of the Green Emperor Palace, no matter how miserable their lives were, they were still much better than those of humans. At least they had the skills to pass down.

But even if it is the most talented fox and has managed to cultivate into a spirit, it is still not good at fighting…
