Chapter 250 Entering the Holy Path Palace!
Chapter 250 Entering the Holy Path Palace!
"Cang Dingtian, I have said before, do not disturb me unless it is important!"
"And who are they?"
"Have you forgotten the rules?"
The figure was indistinct, and the voice was extremely cold and low.
Although it was just a projection, it still made Cang Dingtian tremble like a leaf.
He knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, and said, "My lord, something has happened at the Holy Domain's Prodigy Tournament!"
Cang Dingtian recounted everything that had happened that day. Although the hazy figure's expression was obscured, everyone could feel the oppressive aura emanating from him, which gradually grew colder.
"You mean, the inspector witnessed Cang Xingyu using evil magic firsthand?!"
After a long while, the hazy figure finally spoke.
“That’s right!” Cang Dingtian nodded.
The next moment, a powerful pressure descended, pressing down on Cang Dingtian.
"You really are a piece of trash!"
"Your subordinate knows his mistake!" Cang Dingtian kowtowed repeatedly.
Seeing this, Jian Jiuming and the others couldn't help but sigh.
Cang Dingtian was considered a hegemon in the Holy Domain, but in front of the experts of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, he was like a dog.
"Fine, I'll let it go since you at least remembered to inform me in time!"
"In that case, you can all come together. I'll tell you what to do next."
"Don't worry, your master will protect you."
"Let's wait for news!"
After saying that, the hazy figure suddenly disappeared.
Only then did Cang Dingtian breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as the higher-ups are willing to protect them, then there won't be any problems.
At the same time, the Holy Domain Inspector had already returned to the Taiji Sect with Gu Jiancheng and the others at an astonishing speed.
What would normally be a three-day journey by cloud ship was accomplished in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, which astonished Gu Jiancheng and the others.
As expected of a Saint King, the speed of this passage is simply terrifying.
Immediately, the inspector dismissed everyone and led Gu Jiancheng straight to the depths of the sect.
It wasn't until they reached the crooked tree that the inspector saw the drunkard still sleeping, and then he smiled and said, "Brother."
Brother!
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng frowned.
He wondered to himself, just who was this drunkard? That the Inspector-General addressed him as "brother"?
"Ok?"
"Little plum?"
"You're quite a rare guest!"
The drunkard also woke up at this moment. He was stunned for a moment, then stretched and yawned, looking very relaxed.
"I also have a mission to complete, and I just happened to come and see my brother," the inspector said with a forced smile.
"stop!"
"You are riding high now, having entered the Holy Dao Palace. What am I to you? Just a gatekeeper of ruins."
"What's up?"
The drunkard, however, was already starting to get impatient.
“Brother, everyone knows that your talent and cultivation were superior to mine back then.”
"You can also enter the Supreme Saint Dao Palace to cultivate. My younger brother is also in trouble now. If you want to go to the Supreme Saint Dao Palace, I..."
However, before the inspector could finish speaking, the drunkard's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I look down on the Supreme Saint Dao Palace. Whatever difficulties you have, it has nothing to do with me."
"go!"
After saying that, the drunkard turned over and lay down to sleep again.
This shows absolutely no respect for the inspector.
However, the inspector showed no anger, only gave an awkward smile, and then left with Gu Jiancheng.
"I know you're confused, kid."
"But I might as well tell you that my brother and I were originally disciples of this Qiankun Holy Land."
“My brother was stronger than me in terms of cultivation and talent back then, but due to some things, he left the Dao Palace after entering it.”
"Afterwards, the Qiankun Holy Land was destroyed and collapsed, but I was unable to return."
"This is also my regret."
The inspector sighed, seemingly filled with self-reproach.
Gu Jiancheng was also surprised to find that the Inspector was actually from the Holy Domain and came to the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, not a cultivator born in the Supreme Holy Dao Palace!
"Forget it, it's all in the past now. Fortunately, the Qiankun Holy Land is now inherited by your Taiji Sect."
"Moreover, the name of your sect is indeed quite good." The inspector smiled.
Gu Jiancheng suddenly remembered that the old drunkard seemed to have said something similar.
The third chapter of the Qiankun Method is Taiji.
This does not seem to be a coincidence.
"Senior, now that the Prodigy Competition has ended, what are the next steps?"
Gu Jiancheng asked.
The end of the Prodigy Tournament also means that Gu Jiancheng has swept aside the entire generation of the Holy Domain.
It seems that apart from Cangdingtian, there is nothing else worth challenging him.
"Haha, I know you're in a hurry."
"However, there are still some things that need to be arranged."
"I will leave my clone here to ensure your absolute safety. After that, I will return to the Dao Palace and submit the evidence from today."
“But…” the inspector suddenly sighed and said, “It may not be useful.”
"May not be useful?"
Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then frowned and said, "Why? Today I have already forced out Cang Xingyu's evil technique, and you have also seen to what extent this evil technique has evolved."
"This is almost irrefutable evidence!"
"Don't get agitated." The inspector pressed down on Gu Jiancheng's shoulder.
"The situation inside the Dao Palace is much more complicated than you think. You should also understand that I am just an inspector, to put it bluntly, just a gofer."
"Although the Saint King realm is the only overlord within the Saint Domain, it is actually just ordinary within the Dao Palace!"
“Ordinary?” Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.
Now, even facing Cang Dingtian, he has no way to deal with him. Saint Kings are just ordinary opponents.
"Of course, there are three realms for Saint Kings, and above that, there are nine levels of Ascension to Immortality."
"I am only a first-level Saint King, so it's nothing special."
"Therefore, there are many things I cannot control. I suspect that there are people within the Dao Palace helping this Dingtian Holy Land. I do not yet know how powerful they are. If they are very strong, then perhaps all our efforts are in vain." The Inspector gave a bitter smile.
"Is the Dao Palace also ruined?" Gu Jiancheng frowned. "I am not capable of dismantling it. This kind of evil technique will inevitably shake the foundation of the Holy Dao Palace."
"After all, controlling the Saint King's Qi is equivalent to controlling everyone, isn't it?"
"Haha, you're thinking too simply." The inspector shook his head and smiled, saying, "What you said does make sense, but what if I told you that the Saint King's Qi within the Dao Palace is now insufficient?"
"The Holy King's life force is almost gone?!" Gu Jiancheng was shocked upon hearing this.
He truly didn't know, and the Saint King's Qi was the foundation; if it were insufficient, it would indeed be a major issue.
This is a very important matter.
“That’s right, and it hasn’t been enough for a long time. There are more and more cultivators at the peak of the Saint Realm and above in the Dao Palace, and cultivation above the Saint King Realm also requires Saint King Qi. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that some people want to find other ways!”
The inspector raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "Of course, it's good that you know about this kind of thing, you can't handle it anyway."
"As for you, I will send you to the Dao Palace for cultivation in seven days."
"Okay!" Gu Jiancheng nodded.
The problems at the Supreme Saint Palace were not entirely unrelated to him.
If the Holy Palace falls into chaos, then the Holy Domain will inevitably fall into chaos, and he even has a premonition that it may happen very soon.
Therefore, he still needs to improve his combat strength as soon as possible.
"Yes, cultivate diligently!"
The inspector nodded, and then disappeared from the sect.
Afterwards, Gu Jiancheng summoned Yuan Da and the others to the Langhuan Space. Only after carefully treating their injuries did Gu Jiancheng feel relieved.
Xiao Ziyan's injury caused Yun Shuiyao even more heartache.
My precious child has never been hurt like this before.
"Mom, it's alright, this little injury is nothing, it's a medal!" Little Ziyan chattered on, seemingly oblivious to the pain.
"You're becoming more and more like your father," Yun Shuiyao said helplessly.
"Actually, it's because you're pregnant that you've become gentler," Gu Jiancheng said, holding Yun Shuiyao's hand.
In fact, Xiao Ziyan's personality is more like Yun Shuiyao's. The previous Yun Shuiyao didn't tolerate anyone and wasn't afraid of getting hurt.
However, Yunshuiyao's personality changed after she became pregnant.
“It seems so…” Yun Shuiyao was taken aback, then touched her belly and said gently, “After all, we have to think about the child.”
"Mother, you should just focus on your pregnancy. I want to be like Father too, but Father is too strong. I'm still far behind!" Little Ziyan pouted.
At the very least, she's still no match for Ape-sama.
Now, seeing her father's battles, she understands the difference even more clearly; it's like comparing heaven and earth.
"You still want to be as good as your father? You'd better practice more." Xiao Qingchen said with a smile while treating Xiao Ziyan's wounds.
But what she got in return was a punch from Xiao Ziyan: "Who do you think you are? You have no manners! I'm much better than you!"
Watching the two children bickering, Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao smiled warmly.
We are very happy with this situation now.
Wouldn't it be even happier to wait until the baby is born?
Gu Jiancheng checked the system and saw that the baby's development progress had reached 50%, just over halfway.
The energy of the Saint King Seal within Yun Shuiyao's body was almost completely refined. Gu Jiancheng had thought that he could complete all the progress with just one Saint King Seal.
Now it seems I was overthinking things.
We still need to continue searching for the most precious treasures in the world.
Seven days later, the inspector arrived as promised.
Gu Jiancheng had already selected the spots. Besides him and Yun Shuiyao, Yuan Da, Wei Xingzhou, Xiao Ziyan, and Cai Kun were chosen to enter the Dao Palace for cultivation.
After all, there are only ten spots available, which is quite limited.
Gu Jiancheng was also in a dilemma. Fortunately, the Inspector said that everyone could enter the Langhuan Space to go to the Dao Palace together, but they could not come out and could only cultivate inside.
In the end, everyone chose to go along. Even if they couldn't go out, at least they could see it. Moreover, cultivating in the Langhuan Space would allow them to have more time.
The rest of the group stayed behind at the Taiji Sect. With Lotus Tower and Old Drunkard in charge, even if Cang Dingtian came, he wouldn't be able to shake the Taiji Sect.
Afterwards, Gu Jiancheng and the others followed the Inspector straight up to the heavens, and after he opened the Heavenly Gate, they stepped inside.
After being violently torn apart by the teleportation array, everyone finally landed.
But as soon as they landed, everyone except Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao almost threw up.
The teleportation time was short, but the spatial power was extremely strong.
If one's divine sense cannot reach the sacred realm, there is no way to resist it.
Gu Jiancheng, however, was clear-headed and looked ahead, and his mind was shaken.
What comes into view is a giant gate floating in the clouds.
Although it is just a giant gate, it is hundreds of thousands of meters tall, with magic arrays embedded on it, colorful clouds surrounding it, and spirit birds flying around, creating a fairyland-like scene!
Is this the Supreme Holy Palace?!
That's really impressive.
"We've arrived at the Dao Palace."
"Furthermore, I have something else to tell you." At this moment, the inspector suddenly looked at Gu Jiancheng and said with a solemn expression, "The higher-ups have not punished Dingtian Holy Land, and those holy sons and daughters have all obtained the qualification to enter the Dao Palace for cultivation."
"What!? No punishment?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed!
