337: Chapter 337 Spatial Turbulence, First Arrival in the Xuanhuang Realm!
Gu Qingxue looked at the pitch-black and terrifying scene outside the window, her heart feeling a bit uneasy.
"Daluo Heaven," Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "That is the Taiyi True Immortal's lair and the place we are most familiar with."
However, heaven does not always grant human wishes.
Just as the Immortal Boat was about to traverse the turbulence and reach the coordinates of Daluo Heaven.
"Rumble—"
An unprecedented space-time storm suddenly surged ahead.
The storm appeared in eerie seven-colored hues; wherever it passed, even the Void Realm was ground into powder.
"Not good! It's a space-time tide!"
Lu Yuan's expression changed. A storm of this level would make even a Profound Immortal lose a layer of skin!
"Steady!"
The ten million Yuanxiang Particles within his body roared in unison, as vast Immortal power was frantically poured into the other shore immortal boat.
"Buzz—"
The Immortal Boat's light intensified, forcibly pushing forward against the storm.
But the power of the storm was too strong; the Immortal Boat was like a small leaf in a raging sea. Although it didn't capsize, its course was completely deviated.
"Hold on tight!"
Amidst a burst of violent spinning and dizziness, the other shore immortal boat was swept into an unknown spatial vortex by the storm.
...
No one knew how much time had passed.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the other shore immortal boat seemed to break through some barrier and fell out of the Void Realm.
They saw the light of day again.
Lu Yuan stabilized himself immediately, his Divine Sense sweeping the surroundings.
This was a vast mountain range with ancient trees reaching the sky, and the Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense.
The air was filled with an aura of Laws countless times more profound than those of the Lower Realm. That was... complete Immortal Dao Laws!
"This place is..."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, feeling that the True Immortal Bottleneck in his body actually loosened slightly.
"Although it's not the main domain of Daluo Heaven, it's definitely a high-level plane with perfected Laws!"
He could feel that the space here was extremely stable, and the gravity was a hundred times that of the Lower Realm.
Even a Mahayana Stage Cultivator here could probably only barely fly.
"Husband, look over there."
Yaochi Holy Mother pointed into the distance.
Three blazing suns hung in the sky, shedding golden radiance.
"System, query current location."
[Targeted intelligence acquisition Rank set to: Blue.]
[Destiny Points required: 100 points.]
[Confirm?]
"Confirm."
[Blue Intelligence: Current location is the "Xuanhuang Realm." This Realm is a large fragment world left behind after the "Daluo Heaven" of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands shattered.]
[Due to rule limitations, this Realm can only accommodate Profound Immortal Realm experts at most; Golden Immortals cannot descend in their true bodies.]
"Xuanhuang Realm? Profound Immortal limit?"
A sharp light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
This was simply a beginner village tailor-made for him!
If he had gone directly to Daluo Heaven to face Golden Immortals or even Immortal Kings, he would have had to keep a low profile.
But here, with the limit locked at Profound Immortal, he had enormous room to maneuver.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
Lu Yuan put away the other shore immortal boat and led the eight women to land in a quiet valley deep within the mountain range.
As soon as they landed, the dense Immortal Dao Laws around them poured into their bodies like a tide.
"Is this... a Law baptism?"
Gu Qingxue and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that their originally somewhat superficial "pseudo-True Immortal" Laws were rapidly becoming solid and reaching Perfection under the wash of this power.
At the center of their brows, a faint golden mark began to condense.
The Immortal Spirit Mark!
This was a sign of recognition by heaven and earth, as well as a pass to higher Realms.
"A good opportunity!"
Lu Yuan made a decisive decision, "Everyone, go into seclusion immediately! Use this environment to complete your Dao foundations and condense your marks!"
He also sat down cross-legged.
As the Immortal Spirit Mark condensed, the True Immortal Law within his body finally became perfect and flawless.
The Bottleneck originally stuck at the Peak of the True Immortal Realm completely loosened.
He touched the threshold of the Profound Immortal Realm!
Although he hadn't officially made a Breakthrough, his combat power had increased by at least thirty percent compared to when he was in the Lower Realm!
A few days later.
The women emerged from seclusion one after another, all looking radiant with deep auras.
They had not only completed their marks but had also thoroughly stabilized their Early Stage True Immortal Realm, and some had even touched the edge of the Middle Stage.
"Let's go and see the local customs of this Xuanhuang Realm."
Lu Yuan was in a great mood and led the women out of the valley.
...
Sunset Mountain Range, outskirts.
A small squad of Cultivators wearing purple Daoist robes and carrying long swords on their backs was patrolling.
The leader was a white-bearded old man with an Early Stage True Immortal cultivation, looking arrogant.
Behind him followed several young Great Ascension Stage Disciples, all acting haughty.
They were a patrol team from the "Zixiao Immortal Palace," the overlord power of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"Elder, there seems to be an abnormal fluctuation in that valley ahead; the Spiritual Qi concentration far exceeds the surroundings," a Disciple said, pointing in the direction of Lu Yuan and the others.
"Oh?"
The purple-robed Elder's Divine Sense swept out, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Such dense Immortal Spirit Qi! Could it be that a rare treasure has appeared?"
He waved his hand, "Let's go and see! If someone has gotten there first, it's their good fortune to offer it to the Immortal Palace!"
This was the overbearing nature of the Zixiao Immortal Palace; in the Xuanhuang Realm, whatever they set their eyes on belonged to them.
Soon, this squad blocked Lu Yuan and the others who were about to leave.
"Halt!"
The purple-robed Elder gave a cold shout, his gaze sweeping over Lu Yuan and the others.
When he saw the peerless beauty of Gu Qingxue and the other seven women, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but then he sensed their True Immortal auras, which were no weaker than his own, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Eight True Immortals? And one whose depth I can't see?"
Although the purple-robed Elder was surprised, he was not afraid.
Because this was the Sunset Mountain Range, the territory of the Zixiao Immortal Palace! Moreover, standing behind him was a colossus with a Late Stage Profound Immortal Old Ancestor in residence!
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Zixiao Immortal Palace's Forbidden Ground?"
The purple-robed Elder spoke first to seize the initiative, directly pinning a serious accusation on them.
Lu Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he said calmly, "Forbidden Ground? Is your name written here?"
"Presumptuous!"
The purple-robed Elder was furious, "The Sunset Mountain Range is the territory of my Zixiao Immortal Palace; every blade of grass and every tree belongs to my sect! I see you acting suspiciously with unfamiliar auras; you must be Demonic Cultivators who smuggled yourselves in from the chaotic Void Realm!"
"Men! Seize these Demonic Cultivators! Kill the man, and take the women back for... rigorous interrogation!"
A lustful light flickered in his eyes; he was clearly after the women.
"Demonic Cultivators?"
Lu Yuan laughed, a very cold laugh.
"I have just arrived in this Xuanhuang Realm and was worrying about where to establish my prestige. I didn't expect someone to deliver themselves to my door."
"You seek death!"
The purple-robed Elder stopped wasting words and channeled his long sword.
"Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, fall!"
"Rumble—"
The sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and streaks of purple lightning danced like wild snakes, carrying a destructive aura as they crashed down towards Lu Yuan and the others.
This Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was a supreme technique of the Immortal Palace, possessing extraordinary power enough to heavily injure a True Immortal of the same Rank.
"Lightning techniques?"
Lu Yuan looked at the lightning-filled sky; instead of dodging, he reached out a single finger.
