156: Above the fairy palace!

There are Immortal Palaces above the clouds.

Within Qingchi Mountain, there is naturally no lack of eminent individuals.

Of course, the eminent individuals here do not refer to Foundation Establishment True Persons, but rather to even higher mountains than Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Who else could it be?

Naturally, it is the legendary Great True Person.

Just as Immortal Sen Yan said, the Grand Ceremony in Yellow Sand Plains and Loulan Ancient Kingdom is not only for Qi Refining Cultivators, but also a celebration for Dao Foundation Cultivators.

Therefore, the one in charge is not an Immortal Master, but an even more powerful Great True Person!

What kind of existence is a Great True Person?

The cultivation records contain only a few strokes describing the profound and mysterious nature of the Great True Person Realm.

In the Dao Foundation Realm, Cultivators need to consume heaven and earth treasures to acquire their characteristics, enhancing the affinity of their Spiritual Root.

If this affinity is extremely high, the Spiritual Root is excellent, or the quality of the heaven and earth treasure is high enough, then it can cause a mysterious change in the Spiritual Root.

This change gives rise to a Five Elements Divine Ability.

The functions of Divine Abilities vary; some are unrivaled in combat, some provide widespread benefits, some help cleanse the Physical Body, while others cause the Soul to become quiescent.

All sorts of profound mysteries, benefiting one for life.

The reason why the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm is so powerful is because this Five Elements Divine Ability has a very special characteristic.

The techniques Cultivators practice require the evocation of a technique's structure.

But Divine Abilities are different; they are like an instinct of the Physical Body, capable of being unleashed with just a thought!

This is the fundamental source of the Foundation Establishment True Person's power.

After a Foundation Establishment True Person awakens a Divine Ability, he needs to continue searching for heaven and earth treasures to prepare for the next Realm.

This is also the cultivation path of a Foundation Establishment True Person.

Ordinary Spiritual Qi consumption can no longer satisfy the progress of these Foundation Establishment True Persons' cultivation.

As they ascend... whether for Realm requirements or combat needs, what becomes important is not techniques but Divine Abilities.

And the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth naturally require the Divine Abilities to also achieve Perfection according to the Five Elements.

Of course, there are also those who take a different path, going all the way to the end, but these are too distant to elaborate on.

After achieving Perfection, these Immortal Masters will cultivate a 'Mansion' within their bodies.

The Five Elements Divine Abilities form the framework of the Mansion, and techniques within this framework will be amplified by the Five Elements Divine Abilities, serving as guests within the Mansion.

And this is... the profoundness of the Purple Mansion Great True Person.

For example, when Shen Li in the Qi Refining Realm uses the Little Wind and Snow Technique, combined with the enhancement of Ice Muscle Jade Bone, he can unleash 30% more powerful techniques than usual.

Then, if a Purple Mansion Great True Person possesses a Wind and Snow Divine Ability and a Wind and Snow Treasure Body, the Little Wind and Snow Technique he casts can be amplified by thirty times, three hundred times, or even more powerful.

This is the terrifying aspect of a Purple Mansion Great True Person.

And within Yunhai, there just so happens to be a Purple Mansion Great True Person seated.

A powerful Purple Mansion Great True Person can manifest his 'Mansion' in the world, but unless he intends it, no one can perceive it, which is why no one discovered the Immortal Palace suspended high above.

Within the Mansion, apart from the Purple Mansion Great True Person, who is the undisputed master seated in the main position.

All the others stood amidst the ethereal mist.

Like ants.

However, the aura emanating from each of them was vast, powerful, and distinct.

These seemingly minor Cultivators were, one after another, Foundation Establishment True Persons!

Among them, there were also some familiar faces.

For example, Immortal Sen Yan of the Wang family.

Immortal Master Hong Tu, who first brought Shen Li to Black Ridge City.

All were present, but their positions varied according to their strength.

Then... a mirror flower water moon quietly dissipated, and the image left on the screen landed precisely on Shen Li's cold and clear face.

The Great True Person, who usually hid in the mist, smiled warmly and said.

“I didn't expect to see such a small skirmish during this idle time...”

“However, this little fellow's combat strength is truly mediocre, entirely reliant on external objects, which is quite lacking.”

The Foundation Establishment True Persons present were all astute individuals, and upon hearing this, their mouths twitched involuntarily.

This was clearly praise, both overt and subtle.

One must know that when they were in the Qi Refining Realm, each of them would act cautiously when encountering a Half-Step Dao Foundation or Dao Foundation Cultivator.

How could they dare to attack them?

Extreme Martial Warriors are powerful, but if there aren't daring and meticulous Cultivators providing support, these Extreme Martial Warriors are no match for a Half-Step Dao Foundation.

What surprised them most was not killing a Half-Step Dao Foundation, but the cunning displayed by this Qingchi Mountain Immortal Clan Disciple in this battle.

A scheme that began from the time of the omniscient and Yanmo Mountain.

He manipulated many Prodigies for his own use, and in the end, they even had to remember his kindness.

His actions were audacious yet incredibly cautious.

Who was that Grand True Person Seven Souls? He was the culprit who caused the collapse of the Yin Nether Sect.

Even a seventh of his Divine Thought was already an old and cunning individual, yet he never expected to be outsmarted by a mere youth here.

The Heart-Nature, Comprehension Ability, and decisiveness of this Qingchi Mountain Immortal Clan Disciple have far surpassed his peers.

In their hearts, he could even be considered to have mastered the basics.

Of course, if one had to say he was reckless, he was still a little reckless.

However, the flaws do not obscure the jade... this brilliance is enough to cover all the shortcomings.

And the Immortal Master of Wanjian Villa, along with the Immortal Masters of Jiaoyang Immortal Sect and Beast Taming Immortal Sect, all sighed.

They were all peers, and their own Disciples were even much older than this Qingchi Mountain Disciple, yet they fought fiercely over a mere bait.

In the end, after being schemed against, they still had to thank the schemer.

Truly, when comparing people, one dies; when comparing goods, one throws them away.

Upon returning, they would definitely have to properly discipline those brats!

However, within the Immortal Palace, some discordant voices finally emerged.

“Great True Person, this Seven-Rank Taiyin Sword Pill...”

The many Immortal Masters looked over, only to see it was the Immortal Master from Cloud Sea Sword Sect.

He stared intently at Shen Li's Seven-Rank Sword Pill, then took a deep breath.

“This item originally belongs to my Cloud Sea Sword Sect. Your sect’s actions are inevitably inappropriate.”

The Cloud Sea Sword Sect was not weak in strength, and this True Inheritance also showed his respect, so the Qingchi Mountain Great True Person did not mind the slight offense within, instead smiling and saying.

“The cause and effect, you and I are clear in our hearts. What is right and wrong, everyone knows, no need to say more.”

“It’s a Grand Ceremony for the younger generation, a competition. What are we adults doing interfering?”

“Just like your Cloud Sea Sword Sect using living people as bait to practice swords in my Yellow Sand Plains, my Qingchi Mountain allows and tacitly approves it.”

“As long as it's within the rules, it's up to you.”

“This was originally a rule set by many Immortal Sects!”

“I know you might not be too happy, but it doesn’t matter.”

“I'll find you a sparring partner to help you vent your anger.”

The Qingchi Mountain Great True Person spoke lightly, yet there was an irresistible majesty in his words.

As a Great True Person, he would never allow anyone to challenge him like this.

Then, the Great True Person said indifferently.

“Wang Tianzhen.”

At the banquet, a woman with a high ponytail and a beautiful, cold face slowly rose, her body exuding an explosiveGengjin Lieyang (Gengjin Fierce Yang) aura to the extreme.

“Here.”

“You are a guest from afar. Since a Fellow Daoist is upset, you can help him.”

The Cloud Sea Sword Sect Immortal Master's brows twitched wildly, as if facing an endless sea of corpses and blood, and he repeatedly said.

“Great True Person... I... did not mean it.”

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from the Immortal Palace.

He looked up again, only to see a cold light instantly arrive before his eyes.

“Fellow Daoist... catch.”
