Chapter 1406: Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone

Walking forward, the white jade-paved stone steps were always filled with an ancient aura.

It seemed that because it had been sealed for many years and was rarely visited by people, this place appeared exceptionally quiet. Even knowing that there were already people here, it gave people a feeling of an ownerless paradise, empty and vacant!

"It really is a good place!" Xu Que couldn't help but sigh.

In such a place, it was surprisingly refreshing, and the whole person entered a very relaxed state, extremely ethereal.

Every flower, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone here seemed like an independent individual. If you casually looked at any tree, you would feel its past and present life, and everywhere was filled with traces of Dao rhyme.

"Places where Immortal Emperors have stayed will all be like this; all living things will be subtly influenced!" Zixia Fairy looked around and nodded lightly.

Such places had already been seen in the Immortal Cloud Continent.

It was even rumored that in realms above the Immortal Emperor, wherever their feet touched, green grass would grow, and when deities traveled, even in a desert, it would instantly turn into a hundred-mile grassland and ten-mile flowers blooming!

"Two, the Heavenly Selection Ceremony is about to begin, please move forward as soon as possible!" At this time, that deep voice came from above.

Xu Que and Zixia Fairy looked at each other, stepped forward without saying a word, and stepped onto the top of the jade stone steps.

What came into view was a grand formation of tens of thousands of cultivators, all surrounding a vast, empty open-air Dao field platform, with no one approaching the center of the Dao field, seemingly isolated by an invisible restriction.

And in the center of the empty Dao field, there was a giant stone dozens of meters high, snow-white, crystal clear, with light flowing across it.

Even with the restriction sealing it, one could feel a kind of Heavenly Might emanating from this giant stone from far away!

"This... how is this possible?" Xu Que's expression changed instantly, becoming a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Zixia Fairy looked at Xu Que and asked.

Xu Que frowned and transmitted: "This giant stone is exactly the same as my Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, no, to be precise, this giant stone is simply the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, and it's a hundred times larger!"

After Zixia Fairy heard this, she also revealed a look of surprise.

She had also heard that the Son of Heavenly Mandate possessed the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, but she had never seen a real Son of Heavenly Mandate, let alone the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book. Hearing Xu Que say that the giant stone was also the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, she couldn't help but be surprised.

However, Xu Que was even more stunned. He had never thought that there would be such a huge "Imperial Physician Heavenly Book" hidden in this place. At first glance, it was completely a giant stone, and his Imperial Physician Heavenly Book was simply a drop in the bucket compared to this giant stone.

"Dang!"

At this time, a deafening metallic clanging sound rang out, echoing in all directions.

The conversation of all the cultivators outside the Dao field stopped instantly, and Xu Que and Zixia Fairy also looked forward.

On the mountain peak opposite the Dao field, several figures appeared, men and women, old and young, shrouded in a powerful aura, extremely majestic, shocking people's hearts.

Among them, Xu Que even recognized a white-clad woman; it was the woman he saw in the cave earlier, Xuanhong!

"Sure enough, these people have all come out. Five Immortal Kings, one Immortal Venerable, where are the others hiding?" Xu Que's expression tightened, whispering to himself.

The experts of the Heavenly Palace Academy in the cave earlier were far more than just these!

And among the many cultivators present, even those Immortal King ancestors from major forces were bowing and scraping, showing a posture of subordinates, lowering their heads.

They were also Immortal Kings, but in front of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables of the Heavenly Palace Academy, they didn't dare to treat them as peers.

According to the era, this group of people from the Heavenly Palace Academy were the real ancients, their strength unfathomable, and the Immortal King ancestors of all major forces were surprisingly discovering that their own aura was far inferior to any one of the Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Palace Academy!

"These are the real Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables!" Xu Que's ear heard Zixia Fairy's sound transmission.

She said softly: "The spiritual energy of that period could not be compared with later times, and the cultivation realm of those people from the Heavenly Palace Academy is far more consolidated than all the cultivators of today. Their Immortal Yuan is condensed to an unimaginable degree, and after such a long period of precipitation, these Immortal Kings are only half a step away from the Immortal Venerable stage, and those Immortal Venerable stage experts are also only one thought away from the Immortal Emperor stage!"

"I can see it!" Xu Que nodded.

The aura on Xuanhong and the other Immortal Kings was clearly much more prosperous than the Li Xuanqi and the two Immortal King ancestors of the Saint Sect he had encountered before. Despite being in the Immortal King stage, the two sides simply weren't on the same level.

And Zixia Fairy's words made Xu Que understand the reason.

This is like an ordinary person who eats natural ingredients and breathes fresh air since childhood, and someone who eats all kinds of gutter oil and junk food and breathes smog since childhood. At the same age, their physiques will be different.

Excluding certain special cases, normally, the former is definitely healthy and less prone to illness, while the latter is mostly weak and prone to illness.

The experts of the Heavenly Palace Academy are the healthy ones!

"Everyone, since you have all received the message from my Heavenly Palace Academy, the shackles of the Heavenly Continent are about to disappear. Countless external enemies have long been eyeing my Heavenly Continent, coveting it for many years. A great disaster is about to befall the Heavenly Continent. We, as people of the Heavenly Continent, should work together to resist the external enemies and defend our home..."

At this time, a middle-aged Immortal King man walked out on the mountain peak and directly started a series of bold words.

They didn't even introduce themselves, let alone understand the information and background of everyone present, and just started on their own.

However, no one present dared to have any objections, all keeping silent and listening, always maintaining a respectful attitude.

In the crowd, Xu Que also saw Yaochi Saintess Bai Cailing, and a group of Yaochi female disciples, all standing behind several white-haired old women in the Immortal King stage, listening with their heads lowered.

The people from the Shadow Floating Pagoda Sect also came. Xu Que saw Ji Wu Yun and the head of the Ji family, also standing behind several Immortal King elders.

"Alright, the time has come, the Heavenly Selection Ceremony officially begins. Everyone, the giant stone you see in front of you is the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone. All those above the Heavenly Immortal stage and below the Immortal King stage, release your divine sense and try to see if you can communicate with the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone. This process will last for three days. Before the end is announced, you can keep trying!"

At this time, the middle-aged man had already finished his opening remarks, and also announced the start of the Heavenly Selection Ceremony, letting everyone release their divine sense.

This hasty start, compared to the grand name "Heavenly Selection Ceremony," seemed to have a big discrepancy, making many people unable to react.

"As expected of the seniors of the Heavenly Palace Academy, acting swiftly and decisively, not bound by formalities, it is truly something we should learn from. Alright, my sect disciples, listen to the seniors of the Heavenly Palace Academy, hurry up and release your divine sense to communicate with the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone!" An old man from a certain sect immediately flattered and urged the disciples under his sect to start.

If a sect could produce a Son of Heavenly Mandate, it would be supreme glory and honor, and might even rise because of this. A Son of Heavenly Mandate valued by the Heavenly Palace Academy was enough to make the entire sect rise to the heavens.

At the same time, on the mountain peak opposite the Dao field.

Several experts of the Heavenly Palace Academy were all expressionless, watching the movement on the Dao field!

That middle-aged man who spoke even had a trace of impatience and disdain on his face.

"Just these pieces of trash, can they really produce a Son of Heavenly Mandate?" he shook his head and said coldly.

Xuanhong sneered: "If it weren't for my Heavenly Palace Academy having no one to use, and if it weren't for the fact that the Son of Heavenly Mandate can open the Heavenly Continent and enter the Divine Realm, we wouldn't be looking for such a group of rabble!"

"Sigh, it's a pity. We worked so hard to cultivate Xuan Yuan Wanrong back then, but in the end, she escaped our control. Now we don't know if she is alive or dead, and there is no news." An old man sighed, feeling quite regretful.

"Heh, I said long ago that that bitch has a deep city, but you thought you could control her. Look at the result: she cultivated to the Immortal Venerable stage, stole the Heavenly Emperor Secret Record, broke the imprint left by the Dean in her divine sense, and went far away." Xuanhong said this, her eyes still filled with full killing intent.

"Sigh, let's not mention it. Now that the Heavenly Continent shackles will start to dissipate in less than ten days, we only have control over the new Son of Heavenly Mandate before then to have a foothold. When the several Deans wake up, the Heavenly Continent will still be ours!" Another person sighed and said calmly.

Afterward, several people didn't say anything more, each standing on one side, watching the movement on the Dao field.

Xu Que and Zixia Fairy had also arrived around the Dao field and squeezed into the crowd.

Many people had already sat down and released their divine sense.

But most people's divine sense couldn't pass through that layer of restriction, let alone communicate with the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone.

"Interesting, now I guess I can understand what the so-called Son of Heavenly Mandate is all about!" Xu Que stared at that piece of Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone, a smile couldn't help but rise at the corner of his mouth, and he transmitted lightly to Zixia Fairy.
