Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 279: The Main Hall of the Heavenly Palace
Only Martial Spring Realm cultivators could enter the Heavenly Summit Palace.
This was a seal established sixty thousand years ago by an Immortal Ascension Realm great power when the Five Great Sects divided the legacy of Heavenly Summit Mountain.
Therefore, Zhai Yushi naturally assumed that the young cultivator standing before him must also be a Martial Spring Realm cultivator.
He had great confidence in himself.
At the tender age of fourteen, with a mind not yet fully matured, he had long been blinded by empty fame, unable to see his true level clearly.
He was indeed considered a genius. To break through to the Martial Spring Realm at the age of fourteen, his cultivation talent was far, far superior to the vast majority of cultivators in this world.
He had even been promoted by Elder Fu Qian’s faction, who claimed that “his natural talent surely surpasses Qin Qingyu’s.”
The world’s evaluation of Qin Qingyu was that she possessed the qualifications for Immortal Ascension.
As for Zhai Yushi, he did have the potential to reach the level of a chief disciple of one of the Five Great Sects’ peaks.
But if one were to speak of “qualifications for Immortal Ascension,” that was simply out of the question.
Yet, as mentioned earlier, Zhai Yushi had long been blinded by empty fame. A fourteen-year-old youth did not possess the ability to fully judge right from wrong on his own.
The likes of Qin Qingyu were nothing special.
This was the genuine thought in Zhai Yushi’s heart.
And at this very moment, the young cultivator standing inside the entrance of the Heavenly Summit Palace was, in his eyes, nothing but an arrogant fool who didn’t know his own mortality.
Wanted the fragment of the bronze mirror in his hand?
Although he didn’t know why the Grand Elders had given him this item, Zhai Yushi was very clear that it must be extremely important.
As for this arrogant fool before him, Zhai Yushi had already made up his mind to teach him a harsh lesson.
“Not giving it, is that it?”
Chen Yan said calmly.
He didn’t experience any emotional fluctuation due to Zhai Yushi’s provocation.
“I’d like to see exactly who you think you are, daring to speak to the personal disciple of Qingchan Peak’s Sword Master Elder Lu Li in such a manner!”
As he spoke, Zhai Yushi’s Martial Spring surged, and all his meridians opened.
He activated the movement technique under his feet, rapidly closing in on Chen Yan’s position. Then, his palm pushed forward, stirring up a massive amount of true qi. It was the Qingchan Peak’s secret technique, the Clear Wind Trigram Palm, demonstrating a remarkably solid foundation in the basics.
Chen Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly raised his hand to meet Zhai Yushi’s incoming Clear Wind Trigram Palm.
In an instant, the vast amount of true qi stirred up by Zhai Yushi’s palm strike rapidly dissipated. Immediately after, Zhai Yushi felt a searing pain transmitted from the meridians in his palm.
First the palm, then the wrist, then the arm, the shoulder, until finally the unbearable burning sensation spread throughout his entire body.
At first, Zhai Yushi felt a flicker of confusion.
But very quickly, Zhai Yushi realized what was happening within his meridians.
His true qi was burning inside his meridians.
Zhai Yushi wanted to stop it, but there was no way. The more he tried to circulate his true qi, the fiercer the burning became.
Finally, the wandering supreme yang fire reached his Martial Spring.
“Arghhh!!!”
Zhai Yushi, screaming in pain, collapsed onto the ground, writhing and struggling.
This was a human’s instinctive reaction to burning, but relying on this method offered absolutely no possibility of extinguishing the supreme yang fire raging within his meridians and Martial Spring.
And so, after about another seven or eight breaths of time, Zhai Yushi finally lay motionless on the ground, completely devoid of life force.
Simultaneously, a wisp of black smoke slowly drifted from his mouth.
Zhai Yushi’s meridians and Martial Spring had been completely burned to charcoal ash by the supreme yang fire.
Li Fire Seal.
This was Chen Yan’s first test of the technique named “Li Fire Seal” that he had obtained from his Reincarnation Reward.
By activating the Li Fire Seal, Chen Yan could directly employ supreme yang fire to attack an enemy.
But this was only the simplest and most brutal way to use the Li Fire Seal.
The Li Fire Seal could burn true qi.
Chen Yan had imprinted the Li Fire Seal into his opponent’s meridians, igniting the true qi within them.
If the true qi in the opponent’s meridians was completely burned away, the next things to be ignited were the meridians themselves and the Martial Spring.
Just like the current Zhai Yushi.
Chen Yan silently walked over to Zhai Yushi’s body. As a cultivator now in the Spirit Connection Realm, killing Zhai Yushi was essentially no different from crushing an ant.
His method of infiltrating the Heavenly Summit Palace was simple.
The restriction placed on the Heavenly Summit Palace sixty thousand years ago was still in effect. Cultivators with cultivation above the Martial Spring Realm could not enter the Heavenly Summit Palace.
For Chen Yan, who possessed the perfected Hidden Immortal Art, bypassing this restriction was a simple matter.
It was just like when he had previously evaded the restriction at Kongyuan Mountain’s Rear Cliff to sneak in and see Lin Qifeng.
After all, the restriction at Kongyuan Mountain’s Rear Cliff was established by the historic True Person Kongmiao, Yan Yunhe. Its detection capability was not much different from that of the Heavenly Summit Palace’s restriction.
Chen Yan retrieved the fragment of the Heavenly Summit Mirror from Zhai Yushi’s body.
He examined the bronze fragment in his hand carefully and meticulously, but found nothing extraordinary about it.
Was this really a fragment of the only dao artifact in Chenping Continent?
Chen Yan found it somewhat hard to believe because it looked utterly ordinary.
As long as one carried a fragment of the Heavenly Summit Mirror into the Heavenly Summit Palace, one could discover the truth.
The interior of the Heavenly Summit Palace was isolated from the outside. The two Kongshan Sect Grand Elders guarding Heavenly Summit Mountain did not yet know that Zhai Yushi had already died inside the Heavenly Summit Palace at this moment.
Before being discovered, it was best for him to hurry deep into the Heavenly Summit Palace to uncover the truth behind Heavenly Summit Mountain’s destruction and sever the cause and effect.
Although Chen Yan did not know exactly how to do that.
He stepped forward, heading deeper into the Heavenly Summit Palace.
In the over sixty thousand years since the destruction of Heavenly Summit Mountain, a total of over six thousand Heavenly Summit Mountain champions had set foot in this former pinnacle of the immortal path, the residence of the Heavenly Summit Mountain’s master.
Many people had asked these Heavenly Summit Mountain champions what the interior of the Heavenly Summit Palace was actually like.
Each person’s experience upon entering the Heavenly Summit Palace varied somewhat, but without exception, they all mentioned the same word.
That word was “vast emptiness.”
Chen Yan felt the same way.
Upon stepping into the main hall of the Heavenly Summit Palace, what greeted his eyes was nothing but a spotlessly pure white space. The main hall was surrounded in the middle by twelve majestic white jade pillars, and at the very center of the hall stood a pure white Dao Platform about half a zhang high.
Other than that, there was nothing.
Within the Heavenly Summit Mirror, one could glimpse the truth behind Heavenly Summit Mountain’s destruction over sixty thousand years ago…
Thinking this, Chen Yan raised the fragment of the Heavenly Summit Mirror in his hand.
The fragment of the Heavenly Summit Mirror reflected the current scene inside the Heavenly Summit Palace.
There was nothing different.
Just as Chen Yan was beginning to feel disappointment once again, a human figure that flashed by within the Heavenly Summit Mirror fragment suddenly made him freeze.
