Chapter 1043 The Elites of All Forces Arrive, the Palace’s Seals and Restrictions, Who’s It You’re Taking Revenge On?
Somewhere in the vast universe, a magnificent palace appeared out of thin air, with countless Daoist patterns intertwining around it. At the same time, the countless treasures gleamed brilliantly as an incomparably dense Dao energy fluctuation emanated from it. That palace was many times more amazing compared to the Bronze Heavenly Hall.
Standing nearby, Gu Wuqing and the others were incredibly happy to see that palace.
“So that’s the Jade Emperor’s treasures, huh?”
“Look over there! That artificial hill is full of Immortal Herbs.”
“Not only that but look at those two lion statues over there. I can’t believe they are made of Immortal Metal. Wow, this is simply amazing.”
“We’re going to be rich.”
Everyone was delighted.
However, several auras soon appeared at that moment.
Those were the cultivators who were attracted by the Jade Emperor’s treasures. All of them looked at the palace with coveting eyes.
“Are these the treasures left behind by the Jade Emperor Immortal? This aura is truly extraordinary. Haha! These treasures are mine.”
“None of you guys are allowed to take these treasures from me.”
“Oh, it’s the Gu clan’s people… Oh? Chu Kuangren is not here. This is wonderful news. As long as he’s not here, we’ll certainly stand a chance to get it.”
Someone had noticed Gu Wuqing and the others.
They were incredibly frightened at first, but after scanning through the group and realizing that Chu Kuangren was not among them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chu Kuangren were here, ninety-nine percent of the people present would have to give up going after the treasure. Gu Wuqing frowned when he saw that so many people had come.
“It looks like things have gotten a little complicated.”
Although he was sure no one would harm them because of Chu Kuangren’s protection, Gu Wuqing knew that he could not stop those people from getting the treasures as well.
People have always been moved by wealth and riches, which has always been the case since ancient times.
Countless people would risk their lives for the chance of getting those treasures.
“Haha! Those are the Jade Emperor’s treasures, alright. Well, look at all those Immortal herbs! I can surely prolong my lifespan for a few more epochs with these.”
A burst of laughter sounded as a handsome young man in blood-colored robes arrived, and a powerful yet chilling Immortal aura erupted.
Upon seeing him, everyone became wary.
“It’s him, the Bloodstrike Immortal!”
“Rumor has it that this person was once a well-known cultivator for many years. However, he later became severely injured from a fight with his arch-enemy and instantly entered the state of Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five. Seeking to prolong his life, he has cultivated an evil technique that allows him to absorb the life essence of others. Every time he uses that technique, he would have to devour a whole planet, killing millions of lives on average. It’s indeed very terrifying.”
“So he has come too.”
n
“It seems like he’s after the Immortal herbs among the Jade Emperor’s treasures. The treasury of a True Immortal, like the Jade Emperor, surely contains a few Immortal herbs that could prolong the life of an Immortal. If he’s lucky, he might be able to break free from the Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five state as well.”
Everyone was in a heated discussion.
After the Bloodstrike Immortal’s arrival, a white-haired elder appeared from the distance.
That elderly man’s demeanor and poise were unlike the Bloodstrike Immortal, who was emanating a surge of nauseating and evil qi.
“Immortal Hao Feng!”
“Another Immortal whose name was once well known throughout the galaxy has appeared. It looks like the treasures have attracted many elites.”
Besides the elites in hiding, cultivators from various great orthodoxies soon arrived as well.
One of the groups that stood out the most was a bunch of formidable sword cultivators who had powerful sword intent emanating from their bodies. Their leader, a green-robed swordsman, had a far more powerful sword intent compared to Zhao Wujing.
“It’s the Whirlwind Sword Sect!”
“It’s Zhao Wujing’s brother. Based on his sword intent, it seems that the rumors were true. The Whirlwind Sword Sect Master’s Sword Dao prowess is undoubtedly above that of Zhao Wujing.”
“That aura of his is as strong as the Bronze Heavenly Hall Ruler… No, it might even be more powerful than the latter. What? An Earthen Immortal!”
Many were shocked by the arrival of the Whirlwind Sword Sect, especially the Whirlwind Sect Master, whose sword intent was so powerful that many reckoned that he was already at the Earthen Immortal Realm.
“Are you people from the Gu clan?”
At that moment, the Whirlwind Sect Master looked at Gu Wuqing and the others and asked.
“So what if we are?” There was a hint of cautiousness in Gu Wuqing’s eyes.
He could sense the Whirlwind Sect Master’s hostility. Even Gu Xing, the Fox Tribe Forefather, and Hu Sanniang had put up their guards.
“Since the Gu clan has submitted to Chu Kuangren, they shall all die,” the Whirlwind Sect Master said.
Then, he attacked Gu Wuqing and the others with his sword.
A surge of sword qi burst through the void. It was so powerful that even an Immortal like the Fox Tribe Forefather felt overwhelmed by it, and his eyes widened in fear.
Just then, Gu Wuqing stepped forth and took out the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman.
The ancient talisman started brimming with light as the Yin Talisman’s effects were activated. A runic light barrier soon appeared and shielded them from the attack.
Boom!
As soon as the sword qi landed on the runic light barrier, ripples began to spread on it.
“Oh, so this is the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman that the Jade Emperor Immortal left behind? It’s truly extraordinary,” the Whirlwind Sect Master said.
He turned silent for a while and stopped attacking before he looked toward that palace. “Once I’ve obtained the treasures inside, I shall come for your lives next.”
Everyone else also began to make their moves.
They charged towards the palace but soon found the palace’s restrictions and seals blocking their path, so none of them could enter.
With the treasures right before their very eyes, they could not give up.
Everyone started attacking the seals and restrictions by unleashing one after another Immortal technique. However, despite how much they attacked it, the seals and restrictions did not break.
“D*mn it.”
“D*mn it. The Immortal Herbs are right in front of me. I won’t allow myself to be stopped here!” The Bloodstrike Immortal was incredibly enraged.
He unleashed a palm attack, whose blood-colored energy crashed forward like a raging tide.
However, his efforts were still futile.
The Whirlwind Sect Master attacked right after that.
He struck out with his sword, sending out a dazzling sword ray towards the seals. A loud boom erupted the moment his attack landed on it.
Everyone quickly looked over with hope.
Nevertheless, the seals still remained intact after the sword qi dispersed.
“How is this possible? Even the Whirlwind Sect Master has no way to break it?”
Everyone was disappointed.
Following that, the Bloodstrike Immortal seemed to have recalled something. He looked at Gu Wuqing and said coldly, “The treasures here were left behind by the Jade Emperor Immortal, and the same thing could be said for the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman. Rumors have it that only the one who has the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman shall be granted access to the treasures. In other words, only the person that has the ancient talisman can enter!”
Everyone thought that his words made a lot of sense too.
However, Gu Wuqing and the others could not help but gulp with fear when they noticed the malicious gazes around them. They suddenly felt a bad premonition.
“Hand me the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman!”
The Bloodstrike Immortal was the first to attack.
His Immortal’s Core energy turned into a huge blood-colored palm that immediately reached forth, grabbed, and landed on the runic light barrier.
“I initially wanted to get those treasures before dealing with you guys. However, it looks like there’s a change of plans,” the Whirlwind Sect Master sneered before he attacked.
A sword ray shot out, causing the runic light barrier to tremble non-stop.
Inside the runic light barrier, the Fox Tribe Forefather, Hu Sanniang, Gu Xing, and others looked at each other with determination.
“Wuqing, this runic light barrier isn’t going to hold much longer. We’ll buy you some time for you to rush into the palace. Once you’re inside, you’ll be safe with the seals and restrictions protecting you,” Gu Xing said.
With that, Gu Xing rushed out with the Fox Tribe Forefather. With his Immortal’s Core energy channeled, he aimed it towards the Whirlwind Sect Master.
“You think too highly of your strength!” The Whirlwind Sect Master snickered and then unleashed a sword ray at the two, which heavily wounded them.
Both of them were shocked by his power.
“You have broken through to an Earthen Immortal!”
“Hmph! Today, I’ll kill you guys, go get the treasure inside, and then take my revenge on Chu Kuangren for my brother’s death!” the Whirlwind Sect Master said with a cold snort.
That was when the void suddenly shook, and the surrounding planets trembled. An apathetic voice suddenly sounded. “Who is it you’re taking revenge on?”
