This Human Immortal Is Too Serious-Chapter 343 - 341: First Experience of Imprisonment in Heaven Palace

Facing a 'normal state' Gold God in head-to-head combat, Wu Wang realized just how terrifyingly powerful Fire Plume had become, supported by the Dao of Fuel and Fire and fed by the corpses of nine Transcendents.

This Gold God was a battle Magic treasure!

At the first encounter, Wu Wang unleashed his full strength in a head-on collision with the Gold God... and was immediately sent flying.

For a moment, Wu Wang felt the shock nearly shattered his arms, but they were quickly restored by a surge of Divine Power enveloping him.

Wu Wang swung his Longsword left and right, barely blocking the Gold God's relentless assaults.

The Gold God let out a piercing screech. Its eight arms and eight Divine Weapons burst with immense strength, stirring Heaven and Earth, cleaving Yin and Yang, each strike aimed mercilessly at Wu Wang's vitals.

Wu Wang retreated swiftly into the high sky, his gaze as serene as still water. His Longsword drew one circle after another, covered by the Yin and Yang Path. This transformed the overbearing force from the Gold God's attacks into his own momentum for retreat.

He deliberately avoided the ground, a detail the Gold God seemed to completely ignore.

The Gold God's slender arms contained infinite power, its eyes filled with madness, as if it was born for slaughter and driven insane by it.

The battle lasted only a short while before Wu Wang's defense was in dire straits, and his figure was almost blasted out of the Great Wilderness sky.

That was nothing to be disheartened about. If he couldn't beat the Gold God at this stage, then he simply couldn't. Wu Wangzi was not some war god who would plunge headfirst into the Human Domain and never emerge. That kind of god could even use their own decapitated head to boost their combat strength.

Wu Wang gritted his teeth and persevered. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen exchanges passed; he and the Gold God fought with some give and take.

—The kind of give and take where the Gold God did all the coming and going.

"Wu Wangzi, aren't you trying to kill me?"

The Gold God's cold sneer drilled into Wu Wang's ears, "Come on then, I am right here. Soon, I shall slice open your neck and throw your corpse onto the sandy beaches of the Northern Wilderness. The Star God values you so much, I wonder if she will go mad when she finds out, hahaha, HAHAHAHA!"

Whether the deceased Star God would go mad or not was something Wu Wang naturally couldn't know. But in Wu Wang's eyes, the Gold God at this moment seemed just like a frenzied demon. Without reason, without thought, there was only the most primitive desire for killing. If some kind of restriction wasn't placed on the Gold God, this Innate God might truly be capable of slaughtering all living beings.

In the midst of the fierce fight, a slight smile suddenly touched Wu Wang's lips.

Another of the Strong gods had arrived, lurking in the shadows.

From his hand, the Star Sword produced strands of cold light, the sword techniques of Xiao Jian Daoist employed effortlessly by him.

Wu Wang's sudden change in tactics bought him a moment to catch his breath. His lips quivered slightly, and a whisper entered the Gold God's ear, calmly stating, "The Star God once told me that you are nothing but her defeated subordinate."

The smile on the Gold God's face instantly froze.

Her eyes almost burst into flames, she exhaled mouthfuls of blood qi, and the six shadowy arms behind her trembled faintly.

"Wu Wangzi, you indeed know how to infuriate me at any moment!"

"The Gold God flatters me," Wu Wang smiled calmly, suddenly placing his Longsword behind his back. "Today, I admit defeat. Please, Gold God, take me to the Heaven Palace."

The Gold God's figure flickered, her anger giving way to bewilderment.

"You're surrendering?" she asked incredulously.

"Indeed," Wu Wang sighed. "I am no match for the Gold God, and to continue like this is a sure road to death. I value my life quite highly." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"You value your life? What a joke!"

The Gold God suddenly became agitated, her Divine Weapons floating around her. She grabbed her long hair, her body seeming to twist into a knot, and asked again, "Are you truly surrendering?"

Wu Wang, full of feigned regret, nodded. With his Longsword sheathed behind him and his hands clasped behind his back, he declared with a long sigh, "I surrender."

The Gold God was so furious she cursed out loud, "Don't even think about it!"

Before her words had finished echoing, she struck down with her long blade, unleashing a brilliant blast of Divine Light straight at Wu Wang's head!

Wu Wang immediately dodged backward; he had never let his guard down.

With all his Divine Power and immortal power poured into escaping, he managed to move with much greater ease than before, floating here and there high in the sky.

But ultimately, the Gold God was too overpoweringly strong. After only a dozen attempts to strike, she had cornered Wu Wang into a desperate situation.

Three Divine Weapons hurled towards Wu Wang's chest and abdomen, while the four cardinal directions of Heaven and Earth had been thoroughly sealed by the Gold God…

The moment this deadly attack was launched, a touch of loss flitted through the Gold God's eyes, as if she were a little girl who had lost her favorite toy, or a young girl returning home from school only to find a cold iron lock on her family's door.

"How boring."

The Gold God didn't wait for Wu Wang to be sliced into pieces; instead, she turned to leave.

It seemed she no longer wished to carry out the ruthless words she had just spoken.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!

The sound of a sharp weapon striking a wooden stake made the Gold God immediately halt. With the six-armed illusion behind her, she turned her gaze towards the 'blind spot of Heaven and Earth' in the distance.

Where was Wu Wang?

A palm-sized wooden puppet floated in the air. Its surface rapidly filled with cracks, then, with a POP, it exploded into powder.

"Hmm?"

Confusion filled the Gold God's eyes. She raised her hand and beckoned, and the three Divine Weapons flew back to her.

On the distant horizon, the Goddess dressed in a black skirt was nodding slightly to the Gold God.

Behold this Divine Spirit!

Her skin was as white as snow, her long hair pitch-black. Her delicate eyebrows, like soft strokes of ink, trailed lightly across her face. Those bright eyes held a shade of pale blue divine light, even more transparent than the purest Jade Stone in the world.

Her figure was especially outstanding; a pair of tender and slender jade feet were gently encased by her openwork short boots.

Indeed, she was peerless; it would be difficult to find another like her in this world.

In this Divine Spirit's hand was a colorful rope. The other end of the rope bound Wu Wang tightly, and his Primordial Spirit was sealed.

Wu Wang's expression was filled with the relief of surviving a calamity, and the few drops of cold sweat on his forehead had not yet vanished entirely.

"Young Master," the Gold God said coldly, "have you actually saved the great enemy of the Heaven Palace?"

The Young Master frowned slightly, speaking softly, "I have only saved the fourth auxiliary Divine Spirit of the Heaven Palace."

The Gold God flew into a rage, "That's a joke!"

"Gold," a gentle call suddenly echoed from above.

The Young Master and the Gold God both looked up simultaneously. Wu Wang, hanging there with his Immortal Consciousness sealed, could only try his best to look upward.

In the sky, a flash of golden light immediately transformed into a circle of Treasure Wheels. Within them, the Sun Goddess stood quietly, her gaze fixed on the silhouette of the Gold God below.

Xihe said softly, "The Queen of Heaven summons the God of Spring. Gold God, I humbly request that you spare him this time, as a favor to me."

A hint of reluctance surfaced in the Gold God's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved into a faint, cold smile.

"As you wish."

The six arms behind her collapsed, and the Divine Weapons vanished into thin air.

She uttered a single word, "Gone."

The Gold God waved her hand and, looking thoroughly bored, tore open the fabric of Heaven and Earth. With one step, she vanished to some unknown place.

High in the sky, Xihe looked toward the northern sky for a while. Her lips moved slightly as if whispering something, but it was so quiet that even the Young Master couldn't hear.

Soon, thirty-six major Stars appeared in the northern sky. These Stars flashed brightly in unison, then quickly faded away.

To anyone watching, it was clear that Xihe had reached some sort of understanding with the Star God.

Xihe still showed no inclination to leave. She stood in the sky, her eyelids lowered, and said, "I'll trouble the Young Master to bring him back to the Heaven Palace to report."

"Mhm," the Young Master responded.

She seemed to be in a good mood as she prepared to leave with Wu Wang in tow, but Wu Wang, whom she held, suddenly spoke up:

"May I say a few words to my people in the Northern Wilderness?"

The Young Master looked at Wu Wang, who was hanging below. Exerting a little force, she brought Wu Wang up to face her, half a zhang apart.

She gazed at Wu Wang, and Wu Wang met her gaze with candor.

However, Wu Wang added a touch of perfectly fitting helplessness and despair to his expression.

Suddenly, the Young Master asked, "There are so many experts in the Human Domain. Why didn't they come here to help?"

"This, after all, is a matter for the Northern Wilderness," Wu Wang replied with a wry smile. "If the Human Domain were to participate, this situation would turn into a conflict between the anti-Heavenly Palace Faction and the Heaven Palace, which would instead implicate the Northern Wilderness."

"So that's how it is," the Young Master said, a look of understanding on her face. She then added, "You stay here. You can only say three sentences, and I will send out your words."

"Hmm?"

Wu Wang furrowed his brows. The Young Master he remembered didn't seem to be like this...

The Young Master huffed, "More than one god has told me that you are crafty and cunning, and it's possible that you have been using me in our encounters."

"Then think about it. What could I possibly achieve by using you? What benefits would I get?"

Wu Wang looked up and sighed lightly. Still bound, he shuffled slightly towards the north.

The Young Master pondered for a moment, feeling there was something behind Wu Wang's words, but she couldn't quite grasp it at the time.

With a light tap of her hand, a pale green Divine Light hovered in front of Wu Wang, and his voice began to carry for ten thousand miles around.

"Only three sentences, and we're leaving at once," the Young Master reminded him.

Wu Wang took a deep breath and shouted,

"Father, take good care of our tribe! I will be alright! Beings of the Northern Wilderness, pray to the Star God—Star God's protection is with us!"

WHOOSH!

The pale green Divine Light dissipated.

The Young Master flicked her wrist and directly gathered Wu Wang into her sleeve.

The next moment, Heaven and Earth around them began to stir, as if a large number of experts were about to cross the void and arrive.

High above, Xihe raised a hand and pressed down. Instantly, the world returned to calm. The Young Master dared not delay any longer and, with Xihe above and herself below, quickly fled deep into Central Mountain.

"Young Master!"

On the coast of the Northern Wilderness, General Xiong San bellowed. Countless men and women simultaneously cried out the words "Young Master."

Herds of giant wolves howled towards the south.

Xiong Han watched the direction in which Wu Wang was taken with a grim expression. He clenched his fists, but they fell helplessly.

At this moment, he was utterly puzzled and could not understand. But Xiong Han knew that during this time, the arrangements made by his son Xiong Ba, Lady Cang Xue, and those forces he neither knew nor wished to know, had been successfully concluded. It seemed that Ba'er had desired to go to the Heaven Palace and had achieved his aim by this means. But is this really alright? Wouldn't he be harmed by the Heaven Palace? Xiong Han's heart was full of hesitation. A streak of starlight silently fell, entering his left ear. Xiong Han listened closely but was still unable to find peace of mind.

A moment later, a large number of experts from the Human Domain arrived belatedly and quickly departed from this place.

About half a day later, the armies of the Human Domain were arrayed across its Northern Region. The beings on the southern border of Central Mountain were fearful and anxious, overshadowed by the looming war between Human Gods.

Wu Wang had already been taken into the Heaven Palace by the Young Master.

BANG!

The 'iron gate' inscribed with Divine Spells slammed shut, severing Wu Wang's line of sight as he tried to probe outward.

Originally, Wu Wang had thought that on his first visit to the Heaven Palace, even though captured by the Young Master, he would at least be escorted by her, perhaps with a hand on his shoulder, as he proudly flew over the many Temples of the Heaven Palace. He'd imagined taking in the scenery inside and outside the palace and casually probing the Young Master for some information.

But he never expected to be tucked away in the Young Master's sleeve the entire time, only to be thrown into this great hall upon arrival at the Heaven Palace.

Once the doors of this Prison Palace closed, Wu Wang was completely unable to glean what was happening outside.

The whole process of entering the Heaven Palace lacked any sense of ceremony!

Two rings were fastened to his wrists.

These rings, whatever treasures they were, made it impossible for Wu Wang to introspect or contact his Primordial Spirit. His consciousness was trapped within his Dao-body. He faintly sensed that dozens, if not hundreds, of seals had been imposed around his Primordial Spirit. His connection to the Star God's Dao and the Yin and Yang Path had also been utterly severed.

Ever since Wu Wang started his plan to... COUGH! Since he began his plan to enter the Heaven Palace, he had placed many 'good things' that could not be exposed to the Heaven Palace with Lin Suqing, Jingwei, and Yun Zhongjun.

For example, those Divine Artifacts storing Divine Power, as well as the schematics for various plans he had concocted in the Human Domain.

Incidentally, those few Divine Artifacts were left with Lin Suqing.

After all, they were his own things. Leaving them with Elder Brother Yun Zhongjun would have subjected his elder brother to unnecessary pressure and annoyance.

At this moment, even if the Innate Gods dismantled Wu Wang, they wouldn't be able to obtain any effective information. They would only see that Wu Wang had inherited the Great Dao of the Star God.

And such a situation was quite common among the Innate Gods.

It was nothing more than a Divine Spirit delegating a portion of control over their Great Dao to cultivate stronger 'Subordinate gods,' thereby enhancing their own strength and authority.

Though his Divine Power was sealed, his physical strength remained.

Wu Wang placed the two rings in front of him and began trying to take them off.

Unfortunately, these rings were so mystical that an endless resistance was encountered when they were merely half a foot apart. Wu Wang made a Herculean effort, only to end up convincing himself to abandon the idea of prying open these two rings.

His gaze swept over the hall, noting that the prison environment of the Heaven Palace was indeed decent.

The space inside the hall wasn't particularly vast, but since it was empty, it didn't feel crowded. In the corner stood a stone bed, and the ceiling featured a triple disc engraved with intricate Divine Runes.

Wu Wang observed carefully and realized that the triple disc on the dome, the rings on his hands, and this great hall must be a 'set.'

Through the doors and windows emitting a golden halo, he could vaguely make out the outside world; the Temple seemed to be built atop a ten-thousand-foot cliff.

What should he do next?

Wu Wang walked to the center of the great hall, sat directly beneath the triple disc, and started smoothing the creases in his Daoist robe, only to find that his Storage magic treasures were still with him, not taken by the Young Master.

Unfortunately, Wu Wang now couldn't even extend a smidgen of Immortal Consciousness, making accessing the Storage magic treasures as difficult as ascending to heaven.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Taking a light breath, Wu Wang calmed his mind and quietly awaited the arrival of the first Innate God.

He still remembered that day, under the banyan tree in the courtyard of that grand city, discussing with Elder Brother Yun Zhongjun, almost jokingly, about entering the Heaven Palace...

"Little brother, you need to deliberately expose a flaw, to make Emperor Shun believe he can threaten you, control you. The Northern Wilderness is actually not a bad choice."

"Brother, you mean..."

"Your emphasis on the Northern Wilderness is obvious to anyone. It's the Star God's territory; the gods of the Heaven Palace consider it forbidden, and Emperor Shun has always refrained from targeting it. You've been active in the Human Domain, gained fame there, risen to power there. When the Heaven Palace looks at you, the first thing they think of is 'Wu Wangzi of the Human Domain,' or 'the Little Golden Dragon of the Human Domain.' In the Human Domain, you can't possibly give the Heaven Palace an opportunity; that wouldn't be logical, and they wouldn't believe it."

Wu Wang asked, "Wouldn't this implicate the Northern Wilderness?"

"No," Yun Zhongjun replied with utter certainty at the time. "Think about it, little brother. Isn't the Northern Wilderness safe now because the Ice God holds the Star God's Dao? With that level of threat to Emperor Shun, the Northern Wilderness is safe and sound. Without it, the Star God herself might be slain by Emperor Shun's hand, only to be reformed in the Divine Pool.

"So, brother, my strategy this time is just like this—make the Northern Wilderness your flaw, thereby causing you to slip up and be captured by the Heaven Palace. But just that is far from enough."

Wu Wang nodded slightly, smiling. "If the Heaven Palace really falls for that, I'd have to wonder if this world is operating normally."

"So, you must create a flaw within a flaw, using multiple false flaws to conceal your true purpose in going to the Heaven Palace."

"How should I do this?"

"That's up to you, little brother. I just feel that you should be able to achieve it."

Now reminiscing about this scene, Wu Wang always felt there was a hint of sly satisfaction in his elder brother's smile.

Wu Wang quickly found the reason—to inherit Emperor Fuxi's legacy.

His previous revealing of the Yin and Yang Path in the Human Domain would become the foreshadowing for his current seat in the Heaven Palace!

Right now, Wu Wang was waiting, waiting for the Head Manager or Xihe to appear and place the final, most important piece in this plan's puzzle.

Just as his thoughts settled...

"Wu Wangzi, we meet again."

At the entrance of the Temple, two bolts of lightning struck down, and the Head Manager, wearing a warm smile, came strolling in with his hands clasped behind his back.
