145: A celestial palace built on earth?! How did he do that?!

The goat-bearded old man's mouth twitched, his expression filled with shock.

He can push this?

What has he been eating every day?!

Immediately, he glanced at Shen Qing, who was dumbfounded beside him, and said, "What were you thinking, letting him push this stone door?"

This stone door was no ordinary object; it was a section of Sky-Suppressing Stone that the goat-bearded old man had taken from the depths of the Heavenly Abyss in the past. Even a thumb-sized piece weighed as much as a mountain, let alone such a large stone door.

This door wasn't actually meant to be pushed; it could be easily opened with a secret technique. Using it to guard the entrance was purely something the goat-bearded old man did out of boredom.

Moreover, the most important thing was that cultivation was suppressed here, relying entirely on Physical Body strength. He hadn't even awakened his divine body yet, so where did he get such great strength?

At this moment, the goat-bearded old man thought it was some kind of assessment Shen Qing had set for Shen Nian.

"I didn't!"

"The last time I saw him, he was just over one year old..." Shen Qing looked bewildered. He hadn't prepared any test at all; the Chaos Body alone had convinced him.

As for Shen Nian's great calamity at nineteen, Old Man Tianji calculated that by then, he would have already entered Cangtian Palace and wouldn't know.

“...” The goat-bearded old man immediately fell silent, his gaze falling on the stone door, where a crack gradually appeared.

A moment ago.

In front of the huge stone door of the separate courtyard.

Shen Nian looked at this entire stone door, which had ancient and complex patterns. Its material resembled jade, and touching the stone door, he could clearly feel a strong sense of weight.

He had walked all the way here and found no one until he saw this tightly shut door.

"Ninth Ancestor hasn't shown up. Could it be that old trick, wanting to test me?" Shen Nian's face showed a hint of contemplation.

It seemed possible.

After all, this kind of trope where elders deliberately hide to test Juniors is everywhere.

"Do I need to open it myself?"

Shen Nian pondered for a moment, then pressed his hands against it, and his Physical Body strength began to surge out.

But the entire stone door remained motionless, which made Shen Nian frown slightly. His Indestructible Chaos Body had reached Minor Achievement, and he hadn't fully understood how much strength he possessed, but moving mountains was definitely not a problem. Yet, now, despite exerting some force, the stone door didn't budge.

It was evident that the weight of this door was extraordinary.

The next second.

Shen Nian held his breath, the mysterious Chaos in his eyes rotating, and the Chaos little person within his body immediately transformed into specks of chaos essence blood, integrating into his heart, giving him ultimate strength.

Boom!

With an earth-shattering roar, the entire stone door began to tremble. Shen Nian's hands were covered in silver light, and the star runes on his chest penetrated his white clothes, looking lifelike.

Still not enough?

Shen Nian raised an eyebrow, and the three-zhang Golden Body Dharma Idol behind him appeared, one hand holding a sword, the other a fist, his face fierce as he stared at the stone door. In an instant, two large golden hands also appeared on the stone door.

The goat-bearded old man froze: "Buddhist Golden Body?"

"He also Cultivates Buddhist Dao?"

"Which Arhat is this? Why have I never seen him..."

"Wait, why does he look exactly like him? This kid comprehended the Golden Body Dharma Idol by observing himself?"

He stared blankly at Shen Qing, who was equally surprised beside him.

"Eighth Grandfather, don't look at me. Although I also Cultivate the Golden Body Dharma, I haven't taught anyone in the Shen Family. I didn't pass it on..." Shen Qing replied, while also taking a deep breath internally.

Hiss!

Is it because of the special nature of the Chaos Body?

This kid has terrifying Body Refining talent!

To be able to Cultivate to this extent at the age of twenty, he's even stronger than I was back then. If his divine body Awakens, his Physical Body will be invincible in the same Rank. Who would dare to fight him?

"This... what Rank of exotic flame is this, that it actually contains the Origin power of the genesis of heaven and earth?" A wisp of silver flame was reflected in the goat-bearded old man's eyes, his face full of astonishment.

Rumble!

A tremendous roar echoed, and with the augmentation of the Chaos Divine Flame and the Golden Body Dharma Idol, the stone door was forcefully pushed open by Shen Nian. Endless divine light flowed around his body, and faint, dense cracks appeared beneath his feet. One must know that this place was Cangtian Palace, and every blade of grass here was extraordinary!

Thump!

The immense oppressive force instantly struck, and Shen Nian's expression became somewhat solemn. He hadn't expected the stone door to become heavier the more he pushed it, as if he wasn't pushing a door, but a Small World!

At this moment, Shen Nian showed a hint of anger. A mere door dared to block him, and an innate sense of disdain surged within him.

Inside his body.

The immortal palace, held up by nine golden little figures, seemed to echo slightly.

"He should be at his limit now. Pushing it to this extent is already incredible. When you were his age, you probably couldn't even budge it!" The goat-bearded old man squinted and murmured.

Shen Qing pouted.

Eighth Grandfather, let's talk, but can you not belittle me?

But the next second.

Both of their expressions changed dramatically, revealing an unprecedented shock they had not felt in tens of thousands of years.

Clang!

A long chime of the Great Dao bell resounded!

Buzz!

Streaks of golden light radiated from Shen Nian's body, exceptionally brilliant and dazzling, instantly enveloping the entire separate courtyard.

The next moment.

The golden light transformed into a long river, soaring straight into the clouds.

Boom!

The entire sky above seemed to be torn apart by this golden long river.

In a blink of an eye.

Flawless, brilliant golden light illuminated a vast expanse of ten thousand li.

One could see.

Behind Shen Nian, the chaos demon emperor palace was faintly discernible, its thirty-six layers of palaces permeated with Grandmist light, only the first layer clearly visible.

At the same time, ancient and majestic hazy figures emerged, standing outside the thirty-six layers of palaces, their backs to all living beings.

Each of these hazy figures exuded an indescribable aura, ancient and profound, unlike anything found in the mortal realm, causing an uncontrollable worship from the depths of one's Soul.

They could not be looked at directly!

Yet, these terrifying figures, in the next second, turned to worship Shen Nian's back. Waves of immortal music lingered, and the suppressed power within Shen Nian instantly surged out, his entire being seemingly undergoing a world-shaking transformation.

"This, this, this..." The goat-bearded old man stammered, his eyes wide.

"What kind of dao palace is this?"

"What Rank is this? How can it have thirty-six layers????"

Shen Qing was also stunned, almost forgetting to think.

A thirty-six-layered dao palace?

Even the legendary Heavenly Palace wasn't that high!

Could this be... an Immortal... Thinking this, Shen Qing stiffly turned his head, and the goat-bearded old man also looked at him with a horrified expression.

The two looked at each other, instantly understanding each other's conjectures. For a moment, they couldn't find any words to describe it.

This is a bit too outrageous!

Forging an Immortal Palace in the Mortal Realm??

How did he do it!

This is even more exaggerated than the Chaos Body!

Rumble!

With the final loud bang, the stone door was completely opened, and a white-robed figure stepped in.

The entire separate courtyard fell silent.

Shen Nian looked at the two old men in the separate courtyard, who were staring blankly at him. One was incredibly robust, and the other sat upright in a rattan chair. Although old, neither looked like they were about to die.

For a moment, he was somewhat puzzled.

Did I go to the wrong place?

"Cough cough." The goat-bearded old man lightly coughed and straightened his posture.

"Why are you just standing there? Speak up, don't embarrass us. We are his elders; we must not lose our composure in front of a Junior!"
