Chapter 587

The battle at the Void Abyss ended, and the struggle between the Seeing Yuanzu and the God Clan temporarily ceased.

In that void crack, except for the Seeing Yuanzu's second disciple, the Li Tianyuan Sage, no one knew what had happened, but there was no doubt that they had reached a truce agreement.

As the day of the ancient palace opening approached, all the Sages guessed that besides the Seeing Yuanzu, that God King would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Various news about the ancient palace circulated among the Sages, and many Half-Sages were also discussing it; after all, the purpose of the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle that had lasted for many years was to stimulate geniuses and cultivate monsters capable of mastering the Sixth Extreme Realm.

Now that such a person had appeared, the legend of immortals that moved the heavens was about to be revealed.

Many Sages who cultivated through reincarnation, after awakening their memories, chose to return in advance to inherit their past life's power.

No one knew the situation inside the ancient palace for the time being; if it were a broad road, it would be easy to talk about, but if the quota were limited, it would inevitably be a fierce slaughter, requiring preparation in advance.

It was precisely because of the ancient palace that many holy lands did not choose to intervene in the previous confrontation between the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King, at most being forced to take sides.

Qiankun Realm, within the Huntian Holy Land.

"Master, is there really a path to immortals inside that ancient palace? Perhaps immortals are just a legend, and Master has already reached the end of cultivation."

A Sage with seven-colored wings all over his body said in a low voice; his temperament looked elegant and gentle, handsome and extraordinary, only there were peacock feathers on his forehead, combed back, and his eyeshadow was naturally emerald green.

"Your cultivation years are too shallow; immortals are by no means a legend. The Seeing Yuanzu is so obsessed with immortals precisely because in the primordial era, he had seen them with his own eyes, and it is even possible that he received guidance from immortals."

The Huntian Sage, with a majestic body and a pitch-black horn on his head proudly piercing the firmament, said indifferently: "The footprints of immortals can be found everywhere; those stars above the heavens, except for the divine sun, are all constructed from the power of immortals. You say the world should be like this? How is that possible? The traces of human intervention are too obvious!"

"That's right, the Heavenly Stele in the Heaven Battlefield is said to be a treasure left behind by ancient immortals; its specific function is suspected to be used by immortals to screen disciples."

The old tree in front of the Huntian Sage also said slowly: "It's just that immortals have disappeared, so the Heavenly Stele has gradually become something for Heaven's Prides to verify their qualifications, but if you think about it carefully, how could such a strange stele be nurtured in the nature of heaven and earth."

"Immortals screen disciples with the Heavenly Stele?"

That Kong Que Sage was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he found it indeed made sense.

"I don't know the situation inside that ancient palace; will the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King join forces? If they really open up the immortal path, no one will be able to compete with them joining forces." The Kong Que Sage was a bit worried.

"No, by then, the Seeing Yuanzu will definitely invite us to resolve the God King first."

The Huntian Sage said calmly: "The Seeing Yuanzu made a move against the God King back then; to put it bluntly, he was jealous and afraid of the other party from the bottom of his heart. That God King... can also be considered the first monster of the ages, but it's a pity his edge was too sharp and he trusted others too much."

The Kong Que Sage was stunned, a bit surprised; that Seeing Yuanzu would be afraid and jealous of others?

"Time is running out, let's go to the Small Thousand Realm in advance to meet that kid; this kid is the key to the ancient palace, and not all Sages hope for the ancient palace to open now, so don't let this key be destroyed."

The Huntian Sage narrowed his eyes, the momentum of his whole body restrained, shrinking from his ten-thousand-foot-tall original form into the Sage appearance he usually revealed.

Hearing his words, the Kong Que Sage's heart tightened; not hoping for an early opening? Indeed, the ancient palace won't run away, and for some Sages, an early opening might not be beneficial.

"Outside the Small Thousand Realm, there seem to be traces of Sages recently, but no one has been found."

In the Daotian Holy Land, in a small courtyard, Feng Feng Bo Ping was eating and drinking, saying to Li Hao.

"The Seeing Yuanzu is right; there are indeed people who don't want me to open the ancient palace, perhaps there is even some Supreme Sage inside."

Li Hao can peek into the will of heaven, predict good and bad luck, and perceive that there is danger lingering outside this Small Thousand Realm, which is by no means well-intentioned.

Although he didn't mention it to Feng Lao, Feng Lao still maintained his previous state, joining forces with the Da Huang Tian Sage to seal the Small Thousand Realm and close the holy land, greatly increasing the difficulty for other Sages to sneak in.

"After all, the timing of your appearance might not be the most appropriate for some people; the ancient palace is always there, and without you as the key, some people want to cultivate to the Sixth Extreme Realm themselves to master more opportunities."

Feng Feng Bo Ping had long seen through the minds of some Sages; although the God Clan and the Seeing Yuanzu were no longer fighting, they still sealed the realms and mountains, just to protect Li Hao.

If a Supreme Sage made a move, it would be difficult to kill Li Hao quietly; if the commotion was too big, it would be equivalent to offending the public.

"This time at the ancient palace, are you really not going, Feng Lao?"

Li Hao grabbed the wine gourd beside him, drank two mouthfuls, and asked Feng Lao.

The Sages of the heavens were all secretly accumulating power, preparing to head to the ancient palace; the formation this time even exceeded the Sage Dao Discussion Assembly, and no one was unmoved, but Feng Lao was an exception.

"Becoming an immortal is nothing more than living longer, living as long as heaven and earth; living long is not rare, living unhappily is what is terrifying."

Feng Feng Bo Ping tilted his head and poured a mouthful of wine, smiling indifferently: "I can't accompany you this time; you can only take care of yourself. I will wait for you to take that step."

Li Hao stared at Feng Lao, vaguely feeling that the other party seemed to be hiding something from him, but the other party didn't intend to say it; even being able to give up the opportunity of an immortal must be an extremely important matter.

"If there really is an immortal path, I will come to pick you up."

Li Hao said.

Hearing this, Feng Feng Bo Ping couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying: "Then I will wait."

Li Hao also smiled; neither of them was pretentious, clinking their wine gourds, accompanied by delicious food, feeling only carefree.

As the time for the ancient palace drew closer, many acquaintances sent Li Hao messages of concern.

Hearing Zhan Tan from the Flower Tour Assembly, Yaochi from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, as well as Ye Zu, Qing Zu, Qingjiu, etc., none of them had the opportunity to head to the ancient palace, but they knew this trip was extremely dangerous.

"I will wait for you to return."

Lin Lin Qingying sent a message to Li Hao through the Sage's order.

Li Hao took a look; this trip was a mix of good and bad, and he dared not underestimate it.

Without responding, Li Hao put away the order, and only when the Seeing Yuanzu sent a message to gather and head to the ancient palace did Li Hao start to move.

"Outside the Small Thousand Realm, the Seeing Yuanzu's avatar seems to have come to pick you up personally."

"Besides the Seeing Yuanzu, there are other Supreme Sages; they have come here in person."

Feng Feng Bo Ping came to Li Hao's courtyard, sighed, and smiled: "It seems that before you open the ancient palace, they treasure you very much; there won't be any trouble, but you must be careful later."

"Hmm."

Li Hao nodded and bid farewell to Feng Lao.

The Da Huang Tian Sage also came outside the Daotian Holy Land; Li Hao invited the other party to go together, but the Da Huang Tian Sage shook her head, "There are too many eyes on you; you go yourself, I will go alone."

Feng Feng Bo Ping, who came to see them off, rolled his eyes at her upon hearing this; he knew she didn't intend to go, and saying so was to deceive Li Hao.

Li Hao was a bit puzzled, looked at them with a strange expression, but didn't ask much, only saying: "Fine, then I will go explore the path first."

Bidding farewell to the two, Li Hao flew out of the Small Thousand Realm.

Only to see that in the silent void outside the Small Thousand Realm, the auras of many Sages suddenly appeared, among which the most dazzling and eye-catching were the Huntian Sage, the Medical Sage, the Law Sage, and other Supreme Sage existences.

The Sages of the heavens seemed to have gathered outside this Small Thousand Realm, waiting here.

"The Supreme Sages have also come?"

"It seems they attach great importance to this ancient palace and are worried about accidents."

"Who told him to be the only one to master the Sixth Extreme Realm? Without him, I don't know how many more years we would have to wait."

The expressions of many Sages were solemn; this time it concerned the heavens, and if an immortal path were really opened, it would touch upon a more vast heaven and earth. "Are you ready?"

The Seeing Yuanzu's avatar came to Li Hao, his expression still carrying a gentle smile.

Li Hao nodded.

He swept his gaze and saw the Master Jian Sheng and the Sword Master in the crowd, and besides that, there was the Literature Sage.

"Let's go."

The Law Sage glanced at the time and said coldly.

Immediately afterwards, he took the lead and left.

The Huntian Sage glanced at Li Hao, the corners of his mouth slightly raised; he could feel that the taste of this meat pill was becoming more and more intense.

Although he could feel that Li Hao had not passed the Earth Tribulation and was still a First-Disaster Sage, it was already fragrant enough.

"Be careful of Huntian."

A sound transmission from the Medical Sage entered Li Hao's mind, and immediately after, he saw the Medical Sage glance at him before turning and leaving; they seemed not to be very familiar with each other.

Li Hao's expression was calm; that Huntian Sage had made moves against him many times, but now he had a bit of confidence to save his life under the hands of a Supreme Sage.

Following the Supreme Sages leading the way, the Sages followed in a mighty force; Li Hao was like the stars surrounding the moon, wrapped in the center, and as they crossed the heaven and earth cracks one after another, it didn't take long before they arrived at the Li Tianyuan Realm of the Upper Three Realms.

Here, some Sages were waiting and had not gone to guard Li Hao outside the Small Thousand Realm.

When they saw the many Supreme Sages bringing Li Hao, they couldn't help but narrow their eyes slightly; this kind of formation and style was unique in the heavens.

But they knew that these Supreme Sages were worried that this key would encounter accidents.

Li Hao saw that not far from the Seeing Yuanzu's true body, sat a figure with a rugged armor, all red and gold; it was the God King.

The place where he sat had visions like volcanic magma, carrying a terrifying might.

Beside the God King were Ying Ying Xiaoxiao and several God Clan Sages.

Li Hao had taken Ying Ying Xiaoxiao away before, and they parted ways after returning to the Small Thousand Realm; now Ying Ying Xiaoxiao, as a God Clan Sage, naturally also came to participate in the ancient palace.

When Li Hao arrived, Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's gaze fell on him, carrying worry in her eyes.

"Be careful of the Progenitor."

A sound transmission from Ying Ying Xiaoxiao rang in Li Hao's mind.

He was slightly stunned, looked at this woman, and could see the faint sadness and anxiety in her bright eyes.

Li Hao's expression did not move; he didn't ask much and went straight to the Seeing Yuanzu's true body.

At this moment, Li Hao felt a familiar, obscure aura; he turned his head to look, only to see the Star Saint sitting on the edge of the crowd, staring at him with a cold face.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly; he didn't expect the Star Saint to be alive; he was worthy of being an existence second only to the Supreme Sage, having life-saving means he didn't know about.

"Since you're here, let's go."

The God King spoke directly, appearing too lazy to wait a moment longer.

The Seeing Yuanzu nodded slightly, stood up and said: "Let's go."

He raised his hand and tore a crack; this crack was torn along a heaven and earth crack, capable of spanning an extremely long distance.

He glanced at Li Hao and entered first.

Afterwards, several Sages from the Seeing Yuanzu Holy Land followed in.

Xiao Xiao Tianyu glanced at him when passing by Li Hao, lowered his head and followed in.

The Law Sage followed closely behind, and beside him was Qiu Tianlv, who had already become a Sage; he glanced at Li Hao, his expression a bit silent.

Like Xiao Xiao Tianyu, although he was a Sage in his previous life, the memories of this life had also merged into his true body, leaving too deep an impression from competing with Li Hao in the same batch.

As everyone traveled through the crack one after another, Li Hao didn't pay attention to the Star Saint anymore, stepped into the crack, and when he walked out again, he saw that he was in a starry sky.

In this starry sky, an ancient palace wreathed in thunder and fire was suspended.

Outside this ancient palace, it seemed to be a forbidden area; as soon as Li Hao's spiritual sense approached, it was annihilated by an inexplicable power, as if touching an abyss, shattering silently.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes; he had heard of this ancient palace, and now he finally saw it.

"Legend has it that this was once the residence of immortals; everyone must not touch it randomly, so as not to trigger some mechanisms beyond control."

The Mo Clan Supreme Sage said.

The Seeing Yuanzu didn't speak, came to the front of the ancient palace, where there were star road stairs constructed by laws.

He walked up, and thunder immediately appeared around him, but soon dissipated.

He walked quickly, and it didn't take long before he flew to the outside of the ancient palace gate.

"This little problem shouldn't be able to stump you."

The Law Sage glanced at Li Hao; he had also heard about Li Hao slaying the Star Saint, but the Star Saint was not dead, just his strength had declined, barely picking up his life.

While speaking, the Law Sage also flew rapidly toward the ancient palace.

Li Hao noticed that the star stairs leading to the ancient palace were not easy to walk, but for him, it wouldn't have any impact.

After the Supreme Sages passed one after another, Li Hao also stepped onto the stairs; immediately, the power of laws swept over the stairs, containing formidable Dao power, as if Sages were attacking with Dao methods.

However, this power touched his body, but quietly turned into a gust of wind, avoiding it.

His physical body was like a majestic wooden stake, blocking the laws that surged out from the stairs one after another.

Li Hao knew that this was the power inherent in the Hearing Dao extreme realm, immune to all Daos.

Seeing Li Hao traveling through the ancient palace stairs as if nothing had happened like the Supreme Sages, many Sages' eyes became much more serious.

Soon, other Sages also stepped onto the stairs one after another, and immediately, many laws rose like a storm, and various visions appeared on the stairs.

The Master Jian Sheng drew his sword to split the sea of fire, arriving in front of the ancient palace; the Sword Master was shrouded in a sword domain, also protecting his body, arriving safely.

Other Sages also used their own means to cross the stairs, while some ordinary First-Disaster Sages inside were struggling, erupting with a large amount of incense power before barely crossing over.

At this moment, some Sages realized that although they were both First-Disaster Sages, that young man was simply too perverted.

While other Sages were still on the stairs, the Supreme Sages like the Seeing Yuanzu didn't stop; after Li Hao arrived, they pushed open the ancient palace, and it seemed as if a brand new world was pushed open before their eyes.

The firmament inside that ancient palace actually had another starry sky, brilliant like the Milky Way.

The Seeing Yuanzu and others had explored it before, appearing familiar with the road, and led the way in front.

Inside the ancient palace was an extremely long passage, but at the end of the passage was a dilapidated high platform, covered with cracks.
