Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 417: The Bronze Immortal Hall

While Xu Ping’an was putting on an impressive show, inside the sixth layer of the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace, numerous powerhouses had gathered at this moment.

At a glance, they were all Ninth Rank experts, no fewer than fifty in total.

Among them, there were even some who had concealed their cultivation, Tenth Rank experts.

And at this moment, they all congregated in front of an ancient bronze Immortal Hall.

The bronze Immortal Hall was extremely majestic and expansive, the entire ancient building was crafted from exceedingly hard ancient bronze, on par with Superior Grade Immortal Artifacts.

On the ancient hall were engraved immensely powerful Immortal Pattern Formations, radiating an aura of primordial and ancient grandeur.

The eyes of these Ninth Rank experts looking at the bronze Immortal Hall were exceptionally fervent, yet within that fervor, there was a strong sense of dread.

The bronze Immortal Hall, according to legends, was the boudoir of the Demon Empress from the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace, a precious portable Immortal Abode.

The Demon Empress from the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace was, in Ancient Times, known as one of the two great female sovereigns alongside the Supreme Immortal Emperor, considered the wonder of that era.

A figure that traversed through ancient and modern times!

The appearance of two such astonishingly talented women in one era was truly an event that could shock the ancients and dazzle the present.

Later on, the Immortal Realm shattered, the Supreme Immortal Emperor fell into a slumber, and the Primordial Ancient Demon Emperor disappeared.

For reasons unknown, this bronze Immortal Hall ended up in the possession of the Heavenly Star Daoist and was placed within the sixth layer of the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace.

It was said that inside this bronze Immortal Hall there was a method to once again open up the Source Ground of Dao Principle.

This was the reason these people had come here.

To wait for the bronze Immortal Hall to open, to discover the method leading to the Source Ground of Dao Principle.

In this era where the ultimate power ascends to heaven, once any faction gives birth to an Immortal Emperor first, it will be an absolute disaster for the other forces.

However, the bronze Immortal Hall is not so easy to enter.

Forcing one’s way in is impossible, as the bronze Immortal Hall possesses an extremely strong Slaughter Formation.

Even an Immortal Emperor could be killed in an instant.

Nevertheless, each time the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace opens, the bronze Immortal Hall will have one Hour of opening time.

That is the only opportunity to enter the bronze Immortal Hall, and also the moment these powerhouses are waiting for.

"There are probably about fifteen days left until the bronze Immortal Hall opens. The Heavenly Star Ancient Palace opens for one month, and the opening of the bronze Immortal Hall is always on the twentieth day." A Ninth Rank cultivator began to speak.

The others nodded in agreement.

They were all aware of this information, and although there were still fifteen days left, none of them wished to leave.

If they left, perhaps traps would be set, or the entrance to the sixth layer would be blocked. Then it would be very difficult to come back up.

At most, they could move around in this Sixth Layer.

With this mindset, no one left.

For them, if they could obtain the method to enter the Source Ground of Dao Principle, it would be a greater gain than any treasure.

"Who knows what it’s like in the levels below, all the Ninth Rank ones should have come up to this Sixth Layer by now. The ones below should be Eighth Rank and Seventh Rank." A Ninth-Rank expert in red armor from the Fire Divine Palace said with a laugh.

"There are indeed quite a few treasures in the five levels below, how much they can get will depend on their own fate. No matter what, we are all from the Defying Heaven Alliance, it’s all the same who gets them. In any case, we cannot let those from the Human Dao Alliance get them," said a Ninth Rank cultivator from the Tianlong Hall with a smile.

"That may be true, but do you know who the Human Dao Alliance is?" the Fire Divine Palace’s red-armored man asked with a light laugh, his gaze sweeping around as he spoke.

"In recent years, the Human Dao Alliance has indeed been very low-profile, their people have all gone into hiding, and it really is somewhat difficult to discern. However, it doesn’t matter. As long as we get the method to enter the Source Ground of Dao Principle, they will have nowhere to run," the middle-aged man from Tianlong Hall said with a chuckle.

The red-armored man nodded and continued looking around, he proceeded to say, "Let’s not talk about the Human Dao Alliance, even our Defying Heaven Alliance has become opaque these days. It’s hard to tell who belongs to the Defying Heaven Alliance and who to the Human Dao Alliance, sometimes even I cannot distinguish clearly."

"Haha, no need to distinguish them clearly. We just need to remember that we are from the Defying Heaven Alliance. Whoever blocks me, whether they are from the Defying Heaven Alliance or not, I will kill them all," the middle-aged man from Tianlong Hall said with a domineering presence, his robust figure exuding an unparalleled aura.

The other Ninth Rank cultivators cast sideways glances, their eyes revealing a trace of surprise.

Peak of heaven and earth’s mighty force?

Is this about to step into the realm of Dao Principles?

Such cultivation, within this Heavenly Star Ancient Hall, would definitely be considered top-tier.

Even the man in the red armor revealed a trace of surprise, gazing at the middle-aged man from Tianlong Hall with thoughtful speculation.

...

Such exchanges were also happening among other Ninth Rank Experts.

In today’s Fifth Realms, there are essentially three major factions.

One is the Defying Heaven Alliance, another is the Human Dao Alliance, and the last is the neutral powers.

The Defying Heaven Alliance is the most arrogant, with most of its members making no attempt to conceal themselves.

But the Human Dao Alliance’s disguises are extremely covert; after all, over the span of a hundred thousand years, powerhouses and Sects have continuously changed hands, and the names of the original powers have long been altered beyond recognition, so no one knows exactly how much strength the Human Dao Alliance still wields.

Perhaps even some powers within the Defying Heaven Alliance might actually belong to the Human Dao Alliance.

...

Xu Ping’an was unaware of the events unfolding on the Sixth Layer; he continued exploring the cave dwelling.

Besides a Spirit Gathering Array, the Cultivation Area only featured an Intermediate Grade Immortal Artifact meditation cushion, and nothing else of value.

Xu Ping’an and Tang Qingyu proceeded to the resting area together.

The resting area was extremely simple, comprising a tea table, a flower bed, and a wooden bed.

Both the tea table and the wooden bed were made from the same material as the main door, crafted from ten-thousand-year-old golden-threaded nanmu wood.

Xu Ping’an did not hold back, taking all these items into his storage ring.

These items were treasures; he could use this furniture to craft wooden Immortal Artifacts in the future.

Even if he chose not to craft, he could sell them.

According to Xu Ping’an’s assessment, the owner of the cave dwelling was at least at the Immortal Emperor Level, so selling these items in the future would fetch a good price.

After putting away the furniture, Xu Ping’an’s gaze landed on the flower bed.

There were no plants inside the flower bed, only a tree and a vine twined around it.

This was a Dao Enlightenment Tree, but it was dead, its leaves yellowed and lifeless.

However, the vine was still lush and green, even sprouting tender new leaves.

Upon seeing this vine, the character for "ominous" in his mind suddenly throbbed.

Xu Ping’an was startled.

"Xuanqing Immortal Vine, it’s really here!"

Xu Ping’an’s scalp tingled instantaneously; this was that Xuanqing Immortal Vine.

This vine seemed different from ordinary Xuanqing Immortal Vines, as if it had undergone a mutation.

The throbbing of the "ominous" character indicated that the power of this Xuanqing Immortal Vine was at least above the Eighth Rank Sixth Layer Realm.

It was very possible that the Killing Formation outside was its doing!

Xu Ping’an subconsciously took a step back, distancing himself from the ancient tree.

He also transmitted a message to Tang Qingyu, who was also startled, looking at the vine with fear.

Xu Ping’an frowned and left the resting area, heading towards the direction of the study.

Tang Qingyu immediately followed, fearful of being dragged away by the vine.

Since the vine had not attacked them, there was naturally no need to provoke it.

As for the Xuanqing Vine Heart, they would need their life essence to obtain it.
