Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 66 The Ancient Immortal Palace Appears

Ancient secrets: the secrets of the eighteen difficulties in becoming an immortal.

All of this was like gibberish to Li Hanlu and Xu Huanhuan, who were at a certain level. Although they didn’t quite understand it, they still felt a sense of awe and wonder.

Although Cang Qingzi, that old tortoise, couldn’t figure out why Lu Jiu’s aura was only at the Qi Refining Realm.

But it was clear that Lu Jiu must have cultivated to the level of a Golden Immortal.

Isn’t it normal that a mere Celestial Immortal can’t discern the true strength of a Golden Immortal?

If a celestial being could see through the secrets of a golden immortal, that would be a huge joke!

These things involve the secrets of the path to immortality. The reason Lu Jiu had Li Hanlu and Xu Huanhuan listen in was to broaden their horizons.

At this moment, both of them were listening intently, because even the ancient books of the holy lands and holy clans did not contain a single record of such secrets.

Lu Jiu felt that the show of force had been sufficiently effective.

This Cang Qingzi was also quite savvy, striking a very proper pose.

So Lu Jiu got straight to the point, saying, “Since you’ve come to see me, it means you know about the Heavenly Demon, right?”

Back in the Ancient Demon Realm, Lu Jiu had Li Daotian deliver a message: if the founder of the Cangqing Dao Sect knew about the Heavenly Demon, he should come and have a talk with him.

Now Cang Qingzi has arrived.

Upon hearing the words “Heavenly Demon,” Cang Qingzi’s old face immediately became solemn and serious.

“The Heavenly Demon is a great calamity, an extremely evil and malevolent spirit!”

“To be honest, in ancient times, I was just a spirit beast raised in a pond by a celestial sect. It was only after I developed intelligence that I transformed into a demon.”

Cang Qingzi recounted his memories of his past in ancient times.

The lifespan of demons is much longer than that of humans. Consequently, the cultivation speed of demons is much slower than that of humans.

Cang Qingzi was unaware of the secrets behind the destruction of the ancient primordial world, because his level was too low, even lower than that of the old bald man in the ancient temple in the green mountains.

However, Cang Qingzi also had the talent to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. At that time, he was already at the peak of the True God realm when he suddenly felt that an inexplicable great danger was about to come.

So he secretly slipped out of the immortal gate and wandered around, trying to find a safe place.

It wasn’t until he accidentally stumbled upon a secluded and unique secret realm that his fear of impending doom and certain death gradually subsided.

When he emerged from that special secret realm, the ancient wilderness had already shattered. What he saw was a corner of a broken world, the earth was scarred and devastated, the sky was fragmented and broken, and countless lives were lost—a scene of apocalypse.

Many years later, the shattered corner of the primordial world gradually recovered on its own. The landscape changed, the cracks in the sky were repaired, and the world was revitalized.

However, the cultivation environment in this world is vastly inferior to that of the ancient primordial era.

As for the Heavenly Demon, all that Cang Qingzi knew came from some incomplete records in ancient books.

The so-called Heavenly Demon is a type of evil spirit, whose level is equivalent to that of a True Immortal among cultivators!

Demons are also classified into different levels: Demon Soldier, Demon General, Heavenly Demon, and Demon Lord!

Even the lowest-ranking demon soldiers are equivalent to the level of human immortals and earth immortals. Demon generals are equivalent to mystical immortals, and some powerful demon generals are comparable to golden immortals!

Heavenly Demons are equivalent to cultivators at the True Immortal level.

As for the Demon Lord, he is the most forbidden of all!

“Back when I was still in the Spirit Pool of the Immortal Sect, I overheard that the Jade Emperor of Heaven issued an edict, summoning cultivators from all the Immortal Sects to form a large army to go to the outer Chaos Heaven to stop the invasion of evil spirits.”

“Based on this analysis, the evil spirits must have originated from beyond the chaotic heavens!”

“As for whether the ancient primordial world was destroyed in a great war with demons, that is beyond my knowledge.”

Lu Jiu heard all this.

His expression also looked very solemn.

Even the weakest demonic soldier is comparable to a human immortal or a terrestrial immortal. The level at which this demon resides is actually so high.

However, in the ancient primordial era, the Heavenly Court, located above the Nine Heavens, was not weak either, boasting a million heavenly soldiers, which was at least a million human immortals!

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Compared to the ancient Heavenly Court, the current Azure Realm is far superior to the various major sects, holy lands, and holy clans.

Cang Qingzi is considered an old monster who has lived for over a million years.

However, when the topic of evil spirits and calamities comes up, it is clear that he is extremely wary and fearful of them!

“As a demon, have you never been to the demon’s pure land in the ancient demon realm?” Lu Jiu asked.

“Senior is too kind. How could a little demon like me, who is dependent on a human immortal sect, be qualified?” Cang Qingzi said with a sigh.

“You’ve lived for a long time, so you should know a lot of things. Tell me about the interesting things that have happened in the Azure Realm during the ten thousand years I’ve been gone.”

Lu Jiu waved his hand, and a chair appeared beside the table. “Come over and have some tea while we talk.”

It’s rare to encounter such an ancient monster who has lived for so long.

Lu Jiu simply treated it as listening to his story.

…

Since Cang Qingzi left.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.

The events surrounding the Ancient Demon Realm have caused such a huge uproar.

As a result, none of the various forces seemed to take any action against the Lu family, leaving many who were waiting to see what would happen confused about the intentions of those important figures.

Although it was a short time.

During this period, the Lu family rapidly developed and rose to prominence, and its overall strength was vastly different from that of a little over a year ago.

“Ten thousand years may be a very short time for that old tortoise, Cang Qingzi.”

“But for humans, whose lifespan is not that long, it is like the changing of the world.”

“Mengxi, did you go to the Ancestral Ruins too?”

This day.

Lu Jiu lay on the armchair in the courtyard, stroking an ancient jade pendant in his hand.

This is something Yun Mengxi left behind after he activated that divine array in the Yaochi Holy Land.

The ancient jade plaque contains a trace of the ancient ancestral ruins.

If Yun Mengxi wants to pursue the path to immortality, she must overcome life-and-death tribulations, but there are very few opportunities to undergo such trials within the Azure Realm.

Therefore, whether it’s Yun Mengxi or anyone else who aspires to embark on the path to immortality, they all set their sights on the mysterious and unknown void.

Although Lu Jiu spent ten thousand years in the Primordial Ancestral Ruins, the places he visited were only the tip of the iceberg.

He didn’t know how big the real Primordial Ancestral Ruins really were, only that they were unimaginably large.

The various life-and-death trials he had experienced made Lu Jiu deeply aware of the dangers within the Primordial Ruins.

Yun Mengxi left this jade tablet, seemingly indicating her destination, and now her fate remains unknown.

Even if he were to immediately head to the Primordial Ruins to find Yun Mengxi’s whereabouts, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Suddenly.

The ancient jade pendant in Lu Jiu’s hand was slightly warm.

When Lu Jiu looked intently at the jade pendant in his hand, he noticed that it was emitting light, which was getting hotter and hotter, and the light was becoming increasingly intense.

There seems to be a connection or resonance in the unseen world.

Deep within the void beyond the Azure Realm’s sky, a vast and unfathomable aura surged forth, sweeping across an immeasurable area.

Lu Jiu stood up from the armchair, looking up at the void above his head. His eyes seemed to display runes of law, transcending the barriers of infinite space and time.

Beyond the void, strange phenomena appeared, as if countless illusory palaces and temples were present. Each palace was magnificent and vast, with a mysterious and boundless aura of immortality flowing and permeating the air.

Along with this came a mysterious, resonant sound, as if thousands of immortals were chanting scriptures and recounting ancient, vicissitudes.

At the same time.

Within the Azure Realm, anyone whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage or above could sense it.

It’s not just the Azure Realm.

Deep within the void, in other worlds similar to the Azure Realm, many powerful beings sensed something and emerged, their gazes all fixed on the void.

“The ruins of an ancient celestial palace have reappeared!”

In a corner of the Azure Realm.

Cang Qingzi, who looked like an old Taoist priest, looked up at the void, his tone full of vicissitudes.

Since the destruction of the ancient primordial world, the fragments of that primordial world have evolved into realms and worlds. This is not the first time that the ruins of ancient immortal palaces have appeared.

No one knows the origin of that ancient celestial palace.

Even Cang Qingzi, who has lived for over a million years, doesn’t know.

After all, the ancient wilderness was once so vast and boundless, and he was just a nobody back then, so he didn’t know much about it.
