Translation: "Inside the hall, Yang Zhu was completely immersed in One Thought Flower Blooming."

Outside the hall, over these two days an ever-growing crowd has gathered.

Translation: "Outside the hall, over these two days, an ever-growing crowd gathered."

Several great holy lands, all the major immortal divine sects sent out many powerful experts, and even the four great dynasties far away in Central State dispatched people holding powerful treasures.

Whenever the Bronze Immortal Palace opened in past ages, they would join forces to open it, and finally split evenly the many opportunities obtained.

Otherwise, relying on any one of them alone, none would dare claim they had absolute confidence.

The news of the Bronze Immortal Palace's emergence was such that even great experts could not stay calm, rushing from all over the Eastern Wasteland.

Among them were the Peacock Dance, whose fame had spread far and wide during this period, and the Grandmaster of Tai Xuan Sect, experts of that caliber.

Even some old monsters in seclusion emerged from their retreat, many of whom had been in dead seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years, solely to break through to a higher realm and thereby gain more longevity.

Those with little life left placed all their hopes of breakthrough upon the Bronze Immortal Palace, seeking the opportunity to become immortals.

Three days later, once the gathering was nearly complete, the leading figures among them acted together, sacrificing numerous supreme treasures in an attempt to break through.

The Bronze Immortal Palace, a grand copper hall comparable to a city, majestic and imposing, its verdigris mottled, engraved with the aura of ages.

Those powerful attacks, before they could even approach, were blocked by a strange energy fluctuation and instantly neutralized into nothingness. The Bronze Immortal Palace revealed a terrifying killing intent, sweeping over like wind sweeping away scattered clouds.

Nearly forty percent of those present, under that killing intent, were instantly pulverized without any chance to retaliate, blooming into clouds of blood like fireworks.

The treasures were flung up, with nearly twenty percent exploding, losses were severe.

Just a single exchange caused so many casualties; that scene could be called bloody.

"Let's attack together."

The various experts made slight adjustments, then continued their joint assault, knowing this was only the beginning and greater dangers awaited them ahead.

Wave after wave of attacks were unleashed, their aftereffects evaporating the water surface by several meters, and many distant mountain ranges were cracked by the strikes.

After half an hour, several thousand cultivators had fallen; their corpses dropped from high altitude to the lake bottom, drifting with the undercurrents, unlikely to ever see the light of day again.

The air was filled with a thick stench of blood, the blood of the fallen cultivators dyeing large expanses of the lake red, like a horrifying blood lake.

Some shattered limbs and broken arms could not sink, floating on the lake surface mixed with the blood, as if a human purgatory had come to the world.

Many who saw this scene felt a chill run down their backs, their scalps nearly exploding from fright.

Such is the emergence of the Bronze Immortal Palace—each time it brings rivers of blood, and no one can resist the allure of immortality.

Half a day later, after countless efforts and several major casualties, the Bronze Immortal Palace remained unchanged, mist swirling, simple and unadorned, without the slightest alteration.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts sank; who would have thought that before they could resume their attack, the Bronze Immortal Palace suddenly sank down and vanished in a moment.

The several great holy lands instantly panicked, having lost so many men for nothing, yet forced to watch helplessly as the Bronze Immortal Palace departed.

If we wait for it to sink into the earth, who knows how many ages will pass before it opens again.

"Ah… forget it, this kind of immortal artifact is leaving; we can't stop it."

Everyone sighed, realizing they could not stop it, and could only leave resentfully.

The old monsters who had emerged, however, refused to believe it; they staked all their possessions, having no retreat, and all pursued it as the Bronze Immortal Palace sank into the ground.

Outside, however many mountains of corpses and seas of blood there may be, inside the vast hall all is tranquil.

Yang Zhu was thus carried by the Bronze Immortal Palace, wandering beneath the Five Regions.

After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Sea of Bitterness underwent a change.

At the center of the Sea of Bitterness, the Life Spring surged forth, the Divine Power Source boiled, continuously gushing out, and from time to time jets of rosy light shot up.

Yang Zhu's treasured body shone brightly, the strange golden energy turning into a stream that sank into the space between his brows, golden light flashing.

At this moment, Yang Zhu's golden bitter sea had opened up to the size of a human head; a brilliant rainbow hung high above, spanning the heavens, gorgeous beyond compare.

He condensed a short segment of divine meridian, which hovered above the bitter sea; vast fragments of the Dao rose from the bitter sea, coalescing into sections of divine bridge that continually extended and expanded.

It was like a galaxy unfurling, as if countless stars were turning, bursting forth with brilliant divine radiance, radiant to the utmost.

The divine bridge stretched across the void, extending from the far end of the bitter sea directly to the other shore; ahead, mist swirled, and a majestic immortal palace stood upon the clouds, inspiring longing.

Building a divine bridge from the life spring straight to the other shore was not enough; Yang Zhu sought to enter the Dao Palace in one fell swoop! The Dao Palace focuses on cultivating the five viscera, each organ corresponding to a minor realm: the Heart's Divine Treasury, the Liver's Divine Treasury, the Spleen's Divine Treasury, the Lung's Divine Treasury, and the Kidney's Divine Treasury.

Each time one is opened, it is like unlocking a divine treasury within the body, with endless wondrous uses.

A divine treasury can give birth to a deity, capable of evolving into the past self, the true self, and the Dao self, representing past life, present life, and future, continually chanting scriptures within the body.

After the Dao Palace, the stronger the cultivated scriptures, the firmer the foundation laid, able to unleash tremendous divine might; if the deity is undying, then existence can be endless.

Yang Zhu hesitated not at all, firmly choosing to begin cultivating the Heart's Divine Treasury.

The heart is most closely related to the four viscera, being the root of Qi, giving birth to a deity; it can not only cleanse bodily impurities but also greatly strengthen the divine soul, making it the top choice! Pushing open a massive immortal gate, the Heart's Divine Treasury was opened and began to be slowly forged and shaped.
