787: Chapter 787 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (166)

A plaque hung at the entrance of the palace, inscribed with the three large characters "Lingxiao Hall," written with vigorous strokes and containing some kind of Law of Heaven and Earth.

"You wait here, I will go report to the Sect Master." Bai Yu said, then walked into the palace.

Su Han stood outside the hall, feeling the powerful aura emitted by Lingxiao Hall. That aura was like a sleeping Dragon; although hidden and unreleased, Su Han could feel that if it wished, it could easily crush him.

Is this the pressure of an Immortal Emperor?

A moment later, Bai Yu walked out, his expression somewhat strange: "The Sect Master invites you in."

Su Han took a deep breath and walked into Lingxiao Hall.

The space inside the hall was immense, with dozens of white jade pillars supporting the dome, carved with patterns of various Immortal Beasts. At the end of the main hall was a high platform, and on the platform sat a middle-aged man wearing a golden immortal robe. The man had a majestic countenance, eyes as deep as the starry sky, and his whole body exuded a majesty that made people want to kneel and worship.

This was Immortal Emperor Lingxiao.

Su Han suppressed the awe in his heart, cupped his hands in a salute: "Junior Su Han pays respects to Immortal Emperor Lingxiao."

Immortal Emperor Lingxiao examined Su Han, a strange look flashing in his eyes: "Chaos Power... It truly is Chaos Power. Ten thousand years have passed; the power of the Chaos Supreme Treasure has finally appeared again."

"Does Senior know about the Chaos Supreme Treasure?" Su Han asked.

Immortal Emperor Lingxiao nodded: "The Chaos Supreme Treasure was the first treasure born when the Heaven and Earth first opened, containing the power of the Chaos Origin. Ten thousand years ago, a catastrophe occurred in the Immortal Realm. The five Immortal Emperors at that time joined forces to fight against an evil demon from outside the territory. In that battle, all five Immortal Emperors fell, and the Chaos Supreme Treasure was shattered. The power of the Chaos Supreme Treasure turned into countless fragments and scattered across the Heaven and Earth; it has not appeared again for ten thousand years."

Su Han was shocked. A catastrophe ten thousand years ago... all five Immortal Emperors fell... what a tragic battle that must have been?

"The Chaos Power within your body is the most core part of the Chaos Supreme Treasure's power," Immortal Emperor Lingxiao continued, "This power chose you, which means you are qualified to inherit the complete power of the Chaos Supreme Treasure. Once you truly master the Chaos Power, let alone the Lord of the Nether, even an Immortal Emperor would not be your opponent."

Su Han's heart raced wildly. Even an Immortal Emperor is not an opponent? What kind of powerful force must that be?

"However," Immortal Emperor Lingxiao changed the subject, "to master the complete Chaos Power, you need to undergo the Nine-fold Chaos Tribulation. Each tribulation is a narrow escape from death; the slightest mistake will result in the destruction of both body and soul. Are you sure you want to walk this path?"

Su Han did not hesitate and said firmly: "The Human Realm is in imminent danger; Junior has no other choice. Please, Senior, guide me."

Immortal Emperor Lingxiao looked at Su Han, a trace of admiration appearing in his eyes: "Good, you have courage. Bai Yu, take Su Han to the Chaos Cave to Cultivate. From today on, he is a Disciple of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect; no one is allowed to make things difficult for him."

Bai Yu respectfully saluted: "Yes, Sect Master."

Su Han also cupped his hands in a salute: "Thank you, Senior."

Immortal Emperor Lingxiao waved his hand and said: "Go. When you Breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, come see me again."

...

The Chaos Cave is located underground in Lingxiao Immortal City and is the most mysterious place for Cultivation in the Lingxiao Immortal Sect.

Bai Yu took Su Han through layers of Restrictions and arrived at a huge underground cave. The walls surrounding the cave were covered with dense Immortal inscriptions, emitting a faint golden light. In the center of the cave was a mass of Chaos-colored gas, slowly rotating like a small galaxy.

"This is the Chaos Cave," Bai Yu said. "The Chaos Cave connects to the Chaos Origin from when Heaven and Earth first opened. Cultivating Chaos Power here yields twice the result with half the effort. However, the Chaos Qi inside the Chaos Cave is extremely violent; an ordinary Cultivator would have their Physical Body collapse upon entering. You possess Chaos Power, so you should be able to withstand it."

Su Han looked at that mass of Chaos-colored gas and could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within it.

"You can Cultivate here," Bai Yu said. "I will guard the entrance of the cave and will not let anyone disturb you. However, I must remind you that the flow of time inside the Chaos Cave is different from the outside world; one day outside is one year inside. You can Cultivate in there for a long time, but not much time will pass in the outside world."

Su Han was overjoyed. The time flow in the Immortal Realm was already slower than in the Human Realm, and now the time flow inside the Chaos Cave was even faster; this was equivalent to giving him a massive amount of time to Cultivate.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai Yu." Su Han said, cupping his hands.

Bai Yu nodded and turned to leave the cave.

Su Han took a deep breath and walked into the Chaos Cave.

The moment he entered the Chaos Cave, the surrounding Chaos Qi seemed to come alive, rushing madly toward Su Han's body. Those Chaos Qi were a hundred times more violent than the Chaos Power inside Su Han's body; they tore at Su Han's Physical Body and impacted his Meridians, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Su Han gritted his teeth, endured the intense pain, and circulated his Chaos Power to communicate with the surrounding Chaos Qi. Gradually, the Chaos Qi was no longer so violent; it seemed to have found a home and slowly merged into Su Han's body.

Su Han felt his Cultivation growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Void Refining Early Stage, Void Refining Middle Stage, Void Refining Late Stage... In less than a month, he broke through the Void Refining Stage and reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Earth Immortal Realm was the lowest level in the Immortal Realm, but for Su Han, this was a brand new starting point.

After breaking through to Earth Immortal, Su Han continued to Cultivate. The Chaos Qi in the Chaos Cave was inexhaustible, and he absorbed these powers madly like a sponge absorbing water.

He did not know how much time had passed when a black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, with lightning and thunder inside the black cloud, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

The Chaos Tribulation had arrived.

Su Han opened his eyes and looked at that black cloud; there was no fear in his heart, only excitement. Although the Chaos Tribulation was dangerous, every time he passed a layer of the Chaos Tribulation, the Chaos Power would undergo a qualitative change, and his strength would also greatly increase.

The first layer of the Chaos Tribulation, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.

Nine bolts of Heavenly Lightning descended from the sky, each one a hundred times more powerful than the Heavenly Tribulation of the Cultivation World. Su Han did not dodge; instead, he actively met them. The Chaos Power formed a layer of golden light shield on the surface of his body to resist the Heavenly Lightning.

The first bolt of Heavenly Lightning fell, and the light shield did not move at all.

The second bolt of Heavenly Lightning fell, and a crack appeared in the light shield.

The third, the fourth... When the seventh bolt of Heavenly Lightning fell, the light shield finally shattered. Su Han was struck by the Heavenly Lightning, his body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

But Su Han did not retreat; he gritted his teeth and persisted, circulating his Chaos Power to repair his injuries.

The eighth bolt of Heavenly Lightning fell, and Su Han's Physical Body almost collapsed, but he still held on.

The ninth bolt of Heavenly Lightning fell; this was the strongest bolt of Heavenly Lightning, containing the power to destroy everything. Su Han roared, gathered all his Chaos Power onto his fist, and punched toward the Heavenly Lightning.

Boom— With a loud bang, the entire Chaos Cave shook. Su Han was struck by the Heavenly Lightning, his body flew backward, and he slammed heavily into the wall. (End of chapter)
