Chapter 271: The Silver-robed Taoist Priest of Wuchen Palace
After the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace completely recognized the reality, he no longer hesitated and made a life oath with Qin Chuan and Jin Bao Daojun.
Of course, this fateful oath was extremely disadvantageous to him. Not only did he have to tell all the information he knew, but if he gained anything, he could only get 20%, which was a huge loss.
However, once the natal oath was made, the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace had no choice but to accept reality.
"I still don't know what your two names are?" The Lord of Qiyao Palace looked at Qin Chuan and Jinbao Daojun and asked.
"Wangchuan!"
"Jinbao!"
Qin Chuan and Jin Bao Daojun spoke at the same time.
"Taoist Lord Wangchuan?" The Lord of Qiyao Palace frowned slightly. He didn't care about Taoist Lord Jinbao.
But Qin Chuan definitely has the strength of a peak Taoist master. How come he has never heard of him?
Did such a Taoist appear suddenly?
In fact, this was also because the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace had been concentrating on exploring this palace for the past hundreds of thousands of years. Otherwise, with his strength and status, it would be impossible for him to know nothing about the Moonstone Sect.
He should know something about Qin Chuan and Jin Bao, the two new disciples of Yueshi Sect.
Of course, the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace didn’t think much about it at this time. Although he had never heard of him, Qin Chuan’s strength was not fake, no matter where he came from.
"My two fellow Taoists, since we have made our life-long vows, how about we head to the Wuchen Palace right away?" asked the Palace Master of Qiyao.
"Is this temple called Wuchen Temple?" Qin Chuan asked.
"I just gave it the name myself. As for the reason, you will know if you follow me." The Lord of the Seven Stars Palace did not say much, he went straight to the temple below.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan and Jin Bao Daojun did not hesitate and followed directly.
Bound by their natal oath, they were not afraid that the Seven Stars Palace Master would deliberately lead them into a desperate situation.
call!
In the blink of an eye, Qin Chuan and Jin Bao Daojun arrived in front of the palace gate.
"dust?"
Qin Chuan looked up at the plaque above the temple. It was a piece of unfamiliar text, but after seeing it, Qin Chuan immediately understood its meaning.
"These words seem to have endless meaning." Qin Chuan stared at the words, and Jin Bao Daojun did the same thing.
It took a long time for the two to come back to their senses.
“No wonder it’s called Wuchen Palace.” Taoist Jinbao sighed.
"Okay, stop standing there and let's go." The Seven Lights Palace Master was not surprised by the two's reactions. He said directly:
"Although this text seems to be full of mysteries, in fact, there is nothing to be understood."
"I wonder what kind of person left such words." Jin Bao Daojun was a little confused. Of course, the Lord of Qi Yao Palace could not answer this question.
Qin Chuan did have a vague guess, but he wasn't sure, so he didn't say anything.
Led by the Lord of the Qiyao Palace, the three of them quickly entered the palace.
As soon as he entered, Qin Chuan immediately felt the change of time and space. When everything stopped, they had arrived in a deep corridor.
"This is the only way to enter the temple. After entering this road, some soldiers will suddenly appear and attack us." The Lord of the Seven Lights Palace said:
"When I was alone, it would take me about a thousand years to pass this road. Otherwise..."
The Lord of Qiyao Palace sneered and glanced at Jinbao Daojun.
If this road hadn't blocked him, he would have gone out and killed him long ago. How could he have attracted this Taoist Master Wangchuan?
"This shows that I am not destined to die." Jin Bao Daojun smiled.
"Let's go then."
Qin Chuan said this, and soon, the three of them flew straight towards the deep passage.
The time and space repression here is severe, and it is impossible to travel through time and space, so you can only fly slowly.
After flying for less than a quarter of an hour, three figures in black armor suddenly appeared in the void.
"Intruders, kill!"
Three figures in black armor shouted coldly, and then rushed towards the three people.
"This is not life, nor is it a puppet."
Qin Chuan looked at the attacking black armored figure, and a magic sword instantly appeared in his hand, followed by a sword burst out.
boom!
The attacking figure in black armor was easily blown away.
The Lord of the Qiyao Palace also easily dealt with his opponent. Even the Jinbao Daojun blasted the black-armored figure away with just a few moves.
"Let's go. These soldiers are indestructible. Once we enter, we must keep moving forward!" The Lord of the Seven Stars Palace spoke in a deep voice.
Whoosh.
He turned into a black light and flew out in an instant, and Qin Chuan and Jin Bao Daojun quickly followed.
After just a moment, another figure in black armor appeared. Although he was easily repelled, a solemn look appeared on the face of the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace.
After defeating several waves of enemies in succession, the Lord of the Seven Lights Palace said:
"There are obviously more soldiers this time. It seems that the difficulty of this road is not fixed, but depends on the number of people."
"By the number of people?"
When Jin Bao Daojun heard this, his expression suddenly changed. In this case, wouldn't he become a drag?
"Brother, why don't I go to your cave treasure first." Jin Bao Daojun asked via voice transmission.
"Don't worry. Fighting with these soldiers is also a test of your skills. When you can't hold on any longer, I will put you into the treasure of the cave." Qin Chuan said directly.
As for the existence of Jinbao Daojun, will it attract more black armored warriors?
This is a good thing for Qin Chuan. Because there are not enough soldiers, he feels that the pressure is not great enough. With his Ultimate Five Elements strength at the same level, ordinary pressure is far from enough.
"Oh? Brother, now that you mention it, this place really seems to be honing our skills." Jin Bao Daojun also reacted immediately.
If the purpose is simply to stop outsiders, why would the number of soldiers be adjusted according to the number of practitioners that appear?
The three of them moved forward. As they went deeper, more and more armored soldiers appeared, and even more terrifying beings such as silver armored soldiers and golden armored soldiers began to appear.
Qin Chuan did not use the three-force combined sword technique all the way, but only relied on the ultimate power of the Five Elements to fight. As for Jin Bao Dao Jun, although he was in danger, with Qin Chuan's help, his own ability to protect his life was not weak, so he persisted all the way.
Time flies, and nearly a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
call!call!call!
Qin Chuan and three others suddenly flew out from the deep passage and came to a hall.
"Haha, it's finally over. I'm so tired."
Jinbao Daojun sat down there without caring about his image.
"Although it's tiring, I have gained a lot." A smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face.
After nearly a thousand years of fighting, because Jin Bao Daojun was not strong enough, he almost took on the pressure of two people alone.
In addition, as time went on, the soldiers appeared more frequently and in larger numbers, and the constant fighting was really tiring.
But compared to the gains, this little bit of tiredness is nothing.
Those soldiers master various different ways. Fighting against them using different weapons and different fighting methods can greatly broaden your horizons and accumulate experience.
It is of great benefit to the improvement of the ultimate Five Elements.
"It's a considerable harvest." Jin Bao Daojun nodded in agreement.
Only the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace said nothing.
The first time he fought for a thousand years, he felt that he had gained a lot. But the second time, he felt much weaker. This time was the third time, and it could only be said that it was better than nothing.
"Look at that!"
The Lord of the Seven Stars Palace pointed forward at this time. Not far away, there were three huge vortex channels suspended there.
"I have already explored these three vortex passages. The left side is a mysterious place. Once you enter it, you will suffer endless pain and illusions. It is very scary."
"Pain and illusion?" Qin Chuan's heart moved when he heard this. He wondered how it compared to the Illusion Mist Valley of the Moon Stone Sect?
"On the right side, there are 180,000 sacred trees that I don't recognize. There are some fruits on the sacred trees, but these fruits are all protected by invisible restrictions, and I can't touch them at all." The Lord of the Seven Lights Palace continued to speak at this time. After introducing the passages on the left and right sides, he said in a deep voice:
"I suspect the middle passage leads to the core of the Wuchen Palace. However, I lack a token and cannot enter."
When he said this, the Seven Stars Palace Master's gaze had already turned to Jinbao Daojun.
"Missing a token?" Jin Bao Daojun thought for a moment, then took out the broken armor.
"Could it be this?" asked Jin Bao Daojun.
The Lord of Qiyao Palace said nothing, he just waved his hand.
Suddenly, a half-moon shaped talisman appeared in his hand.
As soon as the talisman appeared, a vague light suddenly lit up on the chest of the armor.
"This is?"
Taoist Jin Bao looked at the light, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a talisman was pulled out instantly.
Compared with the talisman in the hands of the Seven Stars Palace Master, this talisman is shaped like a semicircle but with a convex part.
"really."
When the Lord of Qiyao Palace saw the talisman, a trace of regret appeared on his face.
Anyone who is not stupid can see that these two talismans fit together perfectly.
The combination of the two talismans should be a complete talisman.
"With the complete talisman, we may be able to enter the core area!" The Lord of Qiyao Palace became excited.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Jinbao Daojun's face.
However, at this time——
"Junior Brother Jinbao."
Qin Chuan's voice suddenly sounded in Jin Bao Daojun's heart.
"Senior brother?"
"You should have noticed that the origin of this temple is probably extraordinary. If the middle passage really leads to the core area, are you sure you want to go there? It may be extremely dangerous inside." Qin Chuan said in a deep voice.
"This"
Jin Bao Daojun was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, he was so happy that he ignored the possible dangers.
However, after a little contemplation, Jin Bao Dao Jun said: "Brother, the passage when entering this temple is obviously sharpening us, which means it has no ill will towards us. With such an opportunity in front of me, how can I just retreat like this?"
"What you said makes sense." Qin Chuan nodded.
In that case, he didn't say anything more.
To be honest, he still wanted to take a look at this core area. Whether in terms of strength or life-saving ability, he was much stronger than Jinbao Daojun.
Qiyao Daojun naturally didn't know about the secret communication between Qin Chuan and Jinbao Daojun. At this time, he directly said: "In this case, how about we go directly to the middle passage?"
"Okay, let's go to the middle passage first."
After Qin Chuan and Jin Bao Daojun looked at each other, they both agreed.
. . .
The Taoist Master Qi Yao has been exploring this temple for hundreds of thousands of years, and his main focus is obviously on the middle passage.
After flying into the middle passage, the three of them entered a corridor with extremely complex routes.
But Taoist Qi Yao led Qin Chuan and Taoist Jin Bao forward quite familiarly. It only took a few days for the three of them to arrive in front of a vast black portal.
The black portal was 180,000 feet tall. No one knew what material it was made of. It was dark and deep, and it emitted an endlessly heavy aura.
There was no need to do anything. Just before arriving at the black portal, Qin Chuan understood that he could not break this portal by brute force.
"Put the token in."
Qiyao Daojun spoke in a deep voice, and at the same time he came to the front of the gate and placed the half-moon shaped token in his hand into a groove.
Jin Bao Daojun also put his token in, and sure enough, the two blended perfectly together.
hum!
A buzzing sound came from the extremely thick black portal.
Rumble!
Accompanied by loud noises, the black door slowly opened to both sides.
What comes into view is a huge hall with countless balls of light floating in it.
"Are they all treasures?"
The three flew into the hall, feeling excited. At a glance, there must be at least thousands of treasures, right?
The treasures in this mysterious Wuchen Palace are probably not ordinary items, thousands of them?
"There are passages around this hall, and these treasures may only be part of it." Qin Chuan looked around, thinking secretly in his heart.
However, at this time——
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two silver lights suddenly burst out from a passage.
The speed of this silver light is so fast that it has far exceeded the limit of the Heavenly Dao by a hundred times.
"That is?"
Qin Chuan was shocked.
The limit of a hundred times the Heavenly Dao is a huge threshold.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a Dao Lord to surpass this level, even for a peak Dao Lord. Only a very small number of Dao Lords who are proficient in the Way of Light and the Way of Wind can break this limit.
Someone like Qin Chuan, without the help of the Three Forces Combination Method, can burst out seventy-five times the limit of the Heavenly Dao.
But even if the Three Forces Combined Method added five times the power, Qin Chuan's speed only increased to a hundred times the limit of the Heavenly Dao, and he was simply unable to break this threshold.
Qin Chuan estimated that unless he reached the third step of the Ultimate Five Elements Path or made another breakthrough in the Three Forces Combined into One method, it would be difficult for him to break through this bottleneck.
But at this moment, the two silver rays of light both broke through the hundred times limit of the Heavenly Dao.
this moment--
Two rays of light, one rushed towards Qin Chuan and the other rushed towards the Master of the Qiyao Palace.
In just a blink of an eye, the light was in front of Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan reacted extremely quickly. He took out his innate magic weapon in an instant and used the Three Forces Combined into One method to gain Dao Wuya's blessing.
boom!
The terrifying power directly crushed Qin Chuan's sword, and then hit Qin Chuan's divine body.
The terrifying might caused countless cracks to appear on Qin Chuan's divine body, which was comparable to an eternal middle-grade divine weapon, and then -
puff!
Qin Chuan's entire body turned into a five-colored ocean.
call!call!call!
The five-colored ocean roared, madly offsetting the terrifying power.
"I'm injured?"
Qin Chuan felt a little depressed.
He cultivated his Five Elements Immortal Body when he was on the first step to becoming a Taoist Lord. Now in the second step, his Five Elements Immortal Body has become even more perfect. It is definitely stronger than the Dark Immortal Body of the Seven Stars Palace Master.
But first his divine body, which was comparable to an eternal mid-grade divine weapon, offset part of the power, and then his Five Elements Immortal Body took on the power. He was still injured?
This attack has definitely exceeded the scope of a peak Dao Lord!
While Qin Chuan was thinking quickly in his mind, he also saw the appearance of the silver light clearly. It was a silver humanoid creature with a metallic texture all over its body.
"The Taoist in Silver Clothes?" Qin Chuan felt a little bit unbelievable.
This strength and appearance are too similar to Qin Chuan's impression of the Silver-Clothed Taoist.
At this moment, after the silver humanoid creature hit Qin Chuan with a blow, it did not continue to attack, but instead burst out and rushed towards Jinbao Daojun.
"Junior Brother Jinbao, use the life-saving talisman quickly." Qin Chuan said in a low voice.
At this time, golden light was already bursting out from Jinbao Daojun's body. He was lucky not to have become the first target of the silver humanoid creature, so he had time to use the Taoist talisman.
But when the silver humanoid creature exploded, the golden light emitted by the talisman was instantly shattered.
boom!
The terrifying blow directly pierced through the body of Jinbao Daojun.
Jin Bao Daojun didn't even have time to react and was annihilated into nothingness in an instant.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan felt a little cold in his heart.
But he was not too sad. All disciples of Yueshi Sect have one chance to buy their own Taoist talisman. This should be the first time that Jinbao Daojun died, so he would definitely be able to be resurrected.
Without time to think, the five-colored ocean that Qin Chuan transformed into directly merged into the void and fled to the outside at a rapid speed.
Whoosh!
The silver humanoid creature quickly caught up, but its continuous attacks only depleted some of Qin Chuan's divine power, causing him to be repeatedly injured.
The five-colored ocean is still roaring.
Soon, Qin Chuan flew out of the hall, and at this time, the silver humanoid creature also stopped. He stood in the hall and looked at Qin Chuan coldly, then turned around and went back.
"No more chasing?"
Qin Chuan felt the movement behind him and felt a little suspicious.
He was already prepared to use the life-saving talisman.
In the Moonstone Sect, as long as you spend contribution points, you can even buy Dao talismans at the master level.
Although Qin Chuan couldn't afford that kind of Taoist talisman, before leaving Yueshi Sect, he also bought a life-saving Taoist talisman of the level of the Lord of the Holy City, thinking that it would allow him to escape.
Before, Jin Bao Daojun’s life-saving talisman was instantly shattered. It must be that he was unwilling to exchange it for or simply could not afford a more powerful life-saving talisman.
In fact, it is not surprising. Qin Chuan was ranked first in the world realm selection and was rewarded with extra contribution points.
Qin Chuan passed the first two levels of the extreme world, and the contribution points he obtained were much more than Jinbao Daojun.
Jin Bao Daojun is only a second-step Daojun. Unless he obtains it outside, it is indeed impossible for him to be so extravagant as to directly exchange it for a Dao talisman of the Lord of the Holy City level.
"The Master of Qiyao Palace is also finished." Qin Chuan looked inside the hall.
Although the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace also has an immortal body, his immortal body is not as perfect as Qin Chuan's and is more vulnerable to harm.
Second, he is too slow.
Qin Chuan can use the Three Forces Combined into One method to burst out at a speed a hundred times the limit of the Heavenly Dao, but the Seven Stars Palace Master can only reach a speed of more than thirty times the limit of the Heavenly Dao.
The Lord of the Seven Stars Palace did use Taoist talismans, but their talismans seemed to be of the time and space type. The suppression of time and space in this palace was too horrific, so his talismans were completely useless.
It would have been difficult for the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace to escape relying solely on his dark immortal body.
Not to mention, the silver humanoid creature that was originally chasing Qin Chuan gave up the chase and turned to deal with the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace. How could he survive?
"No!"
"I can not be reconciled!"
"I'm not reconciled!"
The unwilling roars of the Seven Stars Palace Master continued to be heard, but the darkness he incarnated quickly shrank under the terrifying attacks and was soon completely annihilated.
call!
Qin Chuan didn't look at it any more. He turned around without hesitation and flew back the way he came.
. . .
Inside the Moonstone Sect.
Qin Chuan's Dharma body temporarily stopped practicing, and he came to the cave of Jinbao Taoist.
As soon as he entered, Qin Chuan saw Jin Bao Daojun, wearing a golden robe, sitting there, drinking one cup after another.
Jinbao Daojun, as expected, came back to life through his natal Taoist talisman.
"Brother Wangchuan, you are here?"
When Jinbao Daojun saw Qin Chuan, there was a bitter smile on his face.
"Brother, your Dharma body is here? Am I okay?" Jin Bao Daojun asked immediately.
"I'm fine, but the master of the Seven Stars Palace is also dead." Qin Chuan briefly explained what happened.
When Jin Bao Daojun heard this, he felt better for some reason.
The power of Qiyao Daojun was stronger than him, and his ability to save his life was countless times beyond his. Now that Qiyao Daojun was completely dead, he was still able to keep his life. His situation was much better than that of Qiyao Daojun.
"This time, I should have listened to you from the beginning." Jin Bao Daojun sighed:
"I should have made adequate preparations before going there. If I go there rashly, I can't blame anyone else if I die."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded.
Even if he died once, Jin Bao Daojun still wanted to make sufficient preparations before going again, rather than giving up directly.
Obviously, for Daojun, there is no reason to give up when the opportunity comes.
In fact, if Jin Bao Daojun had made adequate preparations, at least improved his life-saving methods, he would have a chance of surviving even if he encountered such a crisis.
"Just take this as a lesson." Jin Bao Daojun said in a deep voice.
But then, a trace of heartache appeared on his face again.
"But my loss is really huge. My only chance to save my life is my life-saving magic weapon and other treasures." Jin Bao Daojun said helplessly:
"Brother, you must have a few drinks with me."
"Okay, I'll drink with you." Qin Chuan poured himself a glass of wine and said, "But you don't have to be too sad. You may have a chance to get your treasure back in the future."
"Hmm? What do you mean, senior brother?" Jin Bao Daojun looked at Qin Chuan with some surprise.
"If I make further progress in the future, I will have to go there again." Qin Chuan said in a deep voice: "If I meet those silver men again, I will help you get your treasure back!"
"My Taoist talisman can withstand an ordinary peak Taoist for a period of time, but it was shattered by a single blow from that terrifying existence. The remaining power can instantly annihilate me. Brother, you must be careful." Taoist Jinbao reminded hurriedly.
"I know."
Qin Chuan nodded.
Seeing this, Jin Bao Daojun didn't say anything more. If it was any other Daojun, he wouldn't be very optimistic, but Qin Chuan was different.
Now Qin Chuan is only at the third step of Daojun and he can still survive under such a being. If he can make another breakthrough in the future, even if he cannot defeat the opponent, it will be easy for him to survive.
"Then I wish you success, senior brother!" Jin Bao Daojun said with a smile.
He still looked forward to Qin Chuan's success, at least he could get his treasure back.
the other side--
Inside the Wuchen Palace.
call!
Qin Chuan flew out of a vortex channel and came to the space with three vortex channels.
"The middle channel is definitely not accessible in the short term." Qin Chuan looked at the three vortex channels, and he quickly looked towards the channel on the left.
According to the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace, this passage leads to a mysterious place where people will experience endless pain and illusions.
"Those three silver-colored men are most likely the Silver-robed Taoist Lords."
Qin Chuan pondered in his heart, although he didn't know how these three silver-robed Taoists were there, but one thing was certain.
This so-called Dustless Palace is likely to be related to the Sith clan.
The Sith were invaders from another chaotic universe. After a great war 30 million chaotic epochs ago, the Sith temporarily lay dormant, but they also left behind many treasures.
The cultivation civilization of the Sith is far superior to that of the practitioners in this chaotic universe, so the treasures left behind by the Sith are generally extremely precious.
The methods they left behind were generally extremely sophisticated.
"This Wuchen Palace has crises as well as opportunities." Qin Chuan understood in his heart.
He did not completely retreat because of the previous crisis.
You can’t go to the middle passage, but you can still visit the passages on both sides.
There seemed to be many fruit trees planted in the passage on the right? But they were forbidden and could not be touched, so there was no point in going there.
So only the left channel can be selected.
"First, the Lord of the Seven Stars Palace has explored this place before and didn't encounter any major crisis. As long as I'm careful, I shouldn't encounter anything. Second, I have a strong ability to protect my life, and I have my natal talisman as a trump card, so at least my life is safe." Qin Chuan thought to himself.
This risk is already quite controllable. If you are afraid of even this little risk, then you might as well go back and retreat. There is no point in going out and exploring the world.
Without hesitation, Qin Chuan quickly flew into the passage on the left.
PS: I will start writing about the second soul in the Three Realms tomorrow.
