192: The ancestor was dumbfounded. How could your Dao Palace be so high?!

Pushing open the palace doors, Shen Nian clearly felt layers of invisible power passing through his Soul.

This palace was where Shen Nian had lived in his childhood, guarded by several layers of terrifying Formations. Ordinary people, even the upper echelons of the Shen Family, could not enter. However, Shen Nian had long since become the master of these Formations, so he stepped inside in one stride.

Inside the magnificent and ancient palace halls.

However, unlike before, in the center of the main hall now stood a giant tripod. Within the tripod, a galaxy swayed, as if countless worlds were flickering in and out of existence, emitting an aura of both life and destruction—a truly spectacular sight.

In the center of the galaxy lay a patch of pure land, five-colored, upon which grew a cyan lotus flower. Although more than half of it was damaged, the Immortal Qi it emitted remained intense.

Seeing this scene, Shen Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"A dao palace diagram?"

"This aura... an immortal palace?"

"No, that's not right!"

"It's far inferior to the chaos demon emperor palace, and it's incomplete."

"It's a bit disappointing."

At the same time, Shen Min's voice rang out.

"So, Little Nian, since you are going to be our Shen Family's Clan Chief, you must be invincible among your peers!"

"Make those idiots shut their mouths. Shatter the dao palace you forged in the Lower Realm. Old Ancestor will personally protect your Dao. Take a good look at the dao palace diagram before you and guess what grade it is!" Shen Min looked at the giant tripod before him, his eyes filled with excitement, and asked very eagerly.

Shen Nian remained calm, but thinking that it wouldn't be right to dampen Old Ancestor's excitement, he casually replied, "Could it be a Heavenly Palace?"

"Wrong!"

"Hahaha!"

"Little Nian, this is one of the coming-of-age gifts Old Ancestor has prepared for you..." Shen Min revealed a confident and smug smile, turning his head to glance at Shen Nian intentionally or unintentionally.

He had long prepared the dao palace diagram for Shen Nian. He had obtained it hundreds of years ago after breaking into a super ruin. The terror of that ruin still made him tremble even now; it was a force that existed countless eons ago—the Demon Sealing Sect.

However, he hadn't brought it out before because he never imagined that Shen Nian would have already forged his dao palace in the Lower Realm.

After deliberately keeping him in suspense, he chuckled, "This is an incomplete immortal palace diagram!!!"

"Surprised?"

"Unexpected, right?"

"In this world, anything that can be associated with the word 'Immortal' is extraordinary!" Shen Min said, then looked at Shen Nian excitedly and added, "Little Nian, the Human Race doesn't have any immortal palace diagrams at all. Even the incomplete ones are only found in White Jade Capital, but they cannot be Cultivated. However, the one Old Ancestor has prepared for you is truly Cultivatable and can forge a twenty-five-layer dao palace!"

"You will be the first person in the Human Race in so many years to Cultivate an immortal palace diagram, and the first person in our Shen Family to forge an immortal palace since the First Ancestor and Second Ancestor!"

"This Primordial Cyan Lotus Palace is three layers higher than the Ultimate Heavenly Palace, which is absolutely enough to give you invincible power among the Void Return stage!"

"If you have Heaven-Defying fortune, there is even a sliver of a possibility that you could perfect it to its Peak. By then, you could forge a twenty-nine-layer dao palace and possess true Heaven-Defying power!"

Seeing Shen Min's excited expression, Shen Nian could only smile awkwardly and say, "Uh, it's actually that amazing."

"..." Shen Min's mouth twitched slightly. What kind of expression was this kid making?

Shouldn't he be excited?

Forget it!

Little Nian must have stayed in the Lower Realm for too long and doesn't clearly understand the power of an immortal palace.

"Alright, Little Nian, take out your dao palace and shatter it. Old Ancestor will help you condense the Primordial Cyan Lotus Palace. I have also found the treasure to suppress the palace for you. Three days is enough. At your coming-of-age ceremony, displaying this dao palace will be enough to shock everyone!" Shen Min stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Shen Nian, waiting quietly.

"There's no need for that, Old Ancestor..." Shen Nian said helplessly.

"What do you mean there's no need? Hurry up and take it out!"

Shen Nian looked helpless. He really didn't want to just take out his immortal palace; it was mainly too flashy, and it felt like he was showing off, but he had no choice.

The next second.

Boom!

The thirty-six layer chaos demon emperor immortal palace slowly rose from behind Shen Nian, surrounded by Immortal Qi. Each layer resonated with celestial sounds, the Qi of the Dao flowed, and countless ancient, indistinct phantoms bowed down towards Shen Nian...

At the same time, the Primordial Cyan Lotus Palace diagram also began to tremble uncontrollably, bowing towards Shen Nian. It was hard to imagine what kind of comical scene it was for a palace diagram to kowtow.

And at this very moment.

Shen Min.

This number one person of the contemporary Shen Family, the number one person in the Human Race's Talisman Dao, the invincible among those in the Dao Integration stage, revealed an unprecedented look of dumbfoundedness.

"This... this is..." Shen Min looked astonished, watching the young man in white before him. Set against the backdrop of the thirty-six layer immortal palace, he looked like an Immortal Emperor patrolling the mortal world, and Shen Min was completely stunned.

"I'm not seeing things, am I!"

"This aura..."

"An immortal palace!??"

"A complete immortal palace!!"

"Little Nian forged an immortal palace in the Lower Realm??"

"How is this possible!"

"To forge an immortal palace, he didn't even have a treasure to suppress the palace. How did he forge it, and in such a short time..."

"Why is your dao palace so high!!" Shen Min couldn't help but exclaim.

"One, two, three, four... thirty-six??"

"Why are there thirty-six layers!"

"Doesn't the record in the Demon Sealing Sect say that the ultimate immortal palace diagram is thirty layers? How can there be thirty-six layers..."

"What kind of dao palace is this???"

The next instant.

The chaos demon emperor immortal palace was retracted into Shen Nian's body, and everything in the main hall returned to calm.

"Little Nian, was that your dao palace just now?" Shen Min asked, still with a trace of disbelief.

"Yes." Shen Nian nodded.

"What kind of dao palace is this?"

"I suppose it can be considered something I created myself, named the chaos demon emperor immortal palace," Shen Nian replied after thinking for a moment. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't bother explaining this, but Shen Min was different; he could feel that the other party truly cared for him and sought nothing in return.

As for saying it this way, the chaos demon emperor was indeed something he created himself, although it took him a hundred years...

"Self-created?" Hearing this, Shen Min's brain shrank, and his CPU almost burned out.

"Are you sure you aren't teasing Old Ancestor?" Shen Min looked at Shen Nian, and seeing his take-it-or-leave-it attitude, Shen Min fell silent and did not press the matter further.

That's true.

With an immortal palace like this emerging, Little Nian must have obtained some fortune that transcends my understanding. This is a heaven-shaking secret that must never be spoken of.

Little Nian is doing the right thing!

He has grown up...

As Shen Min looked at Shen Nian with a gratified expression, his eyes still lingered with the shock of being stunned by the immortal palace.

"..." Shen Nian was speechless at his expression. He could tell at a glance that the other party was likely overthinking things again, but he didn't explain.

After all, he really couldn't explain the origin of this thing. The matter of the System could never be told to anyone; that was his bottom line.

Just at this moment.

A respectful voice came from outside.

"Old Ancestor, it's bad! The three Sword Dao experts you called have started fighting over the woman the Young Clan Leader brought back!!!"
