Crown Prince Lou Che climbed up along the chain and looked back, only to see Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu rushing towards him. He thought, "The Heavenly Pond Country Master indeed has some skills, but a mere skeleton ghost can be so powerful. However, he is a skeleton without a true physical body. Without a physical body, there is no bloodline, and without a bloodline, he cannot gather the divine blood of various clans, nor can he awaken his bloodline completely! At best, he is just a skeleton."
Feather Country and Heavenly Pond Country are neighboring nations, predominantly populated by the winged Ghost Clan, most of whom have wings.
Feather Country shares the same rules with Heavenly Pond Country, which state that when a new king ascends the throne, they must gather divine blood from various clans, to cleanse and enhance the new king’s bloodline power, thereby elevating the new king’s strength to the Ninth Layer, becoming unmatched in might!
Offering divine blood not only shows loyalty from various clans to the king but also enhances the king’s strength, granting him the power to suppress the clans, especially in the face of external threats where the king must lead the charge in defending the nation’s gates. Without sufficient power, he would quickly fall on the battlefield.
Most Ghost Countries around Yin Mountain follow these rules.
"Although I am no match for him, luckily, Feather Country’s exploration of the Immortal Palace includes more than just us!"
Crown Prince Lou Che’s eyes flickered as this place lies at the border of Heavenly Pond and Feather Country. When the news of the Immortal appeared, experts from both lands came to investigate, many never returning. This time Crown Prince Lou Che followed his uncle Lou Tianyi to explore the Immortal Palace.
Lou Tianyi had already led his group into the Immortal Palace, while Crown Prince Lou Che was ordered to lead other experts to remain outside and prevent others from entering.
Lou Tianyi is a master awakened to Eight Layers of Bloodline Power, extremely formidable, matching the clan leaders of various tribes!
The enhancement of Ghost Clan’s bloodline becomes increasingly difficult as it progresses, yet the increase in strength becomes progressively greater!
From bloodline six layers to seven layers, there’s a massive boost, and from seven to eight layers, the surge is astonishing!
"With Uncle Tianyi’s strength, eliminating them is effortless!"
Crown Prince Lou Che’s eyes flickered with thoughts, "The Heavenly Pond Country will soon have another change of king."
The Immortal Palace lies right ahead, and Crown Prince Lou Che rushed inside first. Suddenly, a burst of light approached him, shocking him, he quickly retreated, yet the light engulfed him.
When the light faded, he found himself not dead but in another strange space.
Crown Prince Lou Che stared blankly at the scene before him, muttering, "What is this ghost place?"
At this moment, lights flickered behind him as Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu successively entered the strange space within the Immortal Palace.
Crown Prince Lou Che was startled, quickly being on guard, suddenly beneath his feet turned vividly red, fierce flames burning underfoot.
Crown Prince Lou Che hurriedly flapped his wings to fly up, making a frantic escape, looking back hastily, he saw a massive sun rising from the cloud layer where he had just stood, surrounded by red glow with a fiery orb, blazing vehemently and emitting infinite heat.
"What is this thing?" Crown Prince Lou Che was engulfed in panic and unease.
Chen Shi and Wen Wuyu stood before the towering sun, feeling the surge of Pure Yang Qi transmitted from the True Fire within the sun, both were deeply shaken.
Especially Chen Shi, suddenly felt a compulsion to weep.
Finally with the sun as recorded in books!
When he studied with Scholar Zhu, he always had many puzzles, sunrise and sunset, rising sun in the east, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, these phrases made no sense in West Bull New Continent!
He couldn’t understand the meaning of "Desolate smoke straight in the desert, Long River setting sun round," nor did he comprehend "Twilight distant mountains cold sky poor white house."
Finally, he could grasp the meaning behind these words and phrases!
The sun ascended over their heads, hanging in the sky, as Chen Shi followed this great sun and saw a slightly dim white moon hanging on the distant Cloud Sea.
The Cloud Sea had lush mountain peaks.
Beyond the sky, stars dotted forming a Star River.
The Star River was unlike what he previously saw in the Little Heavenly Realms.
In Little Heavenly Realms, the stars within the Star River consisted of Pentagrams, Hexagrams, Pagodas, Big Tripods, Jiao Longs, White Tigers, various odd shaped stars, but in this Immortal Palace space, stars were just stars, a distant series of suns forming a splendid Star River, illuminating the stellar sky.
"The Immortal here is likely not from the Ghost Clan but an Immortal from Huaxia Divine Continent!"
He suddenly thought, "This space within the Immortal Palace is actually his Void Great Realm!"
The design and style of this Immortal Palace were not of Ghost Clan’s taste, possessing clear Mortal World flair.
Along with the sun, moon and stars here, especially the shape of the Star River aligning with the cosmic sky of small temples, Chen Shi guessed the Palace’s owner must have been a Cultivator from the True King Era, originating from China’s Ancestral Land!
This Cultivator crossed the tribulation in West Bull New Continent, mastering immortal cultivation!
When they entered the Immortal Palace, they actually entered this Immortal’s Void Great Realm!
But why hasn’t this Immortal ascended, instead the Immortal Palace fell in the underworld?
"Chen Shi, look behind!" Wen Wuyu’s voice startled him.
Chen Shi turned to look, his heart greatly shaken.
Only to see the other half of this Great Realm’s sky differed completely from the scene they just saw. Here, large swathes of flesh spread out, the flesh like tentacles reaching skyward, extending in all directions like spider webs, different flesh parts connected by extremely thin membranes.
Suddenly, countless thread-like flesh fell from the nearby sky, continuously dropping several hundred feet until it barely stopped.
