Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 67 Proving the Dao and Slaying the Three Corpses

Previously, Lu Jiu and Cang Qingzi had talked for quite a while.

His rise to power in ancient times was only a couple of hundred years, and then he accidentally entered the Primordial Ruins, where ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

And in the ten thousand years since he left.

The situation in the Azure Realm has changed significantly, involving exchanges and interactions with other realms in the void.

After all, during the time when Lu Jiu was still alive, the human race was facing a precarious situation with the invasion of demons and monsters, and simply did not have the time or energy to explore the mysteries of the void.

After the ancient times, although demons were not exterminated, most of them went into hiding. Some powerful humans stepped into the void in order to pursue the path to immortality.

As a result, some people discovered other realms and worlds not far from the Azure Realm.

Lu Jiu had not experienced the appearance of the ancient immortal palace.

However, according to the old tortoise Cang Qingzi, in some other realms adjacent to the Cang Qing Realm, there are many ancient monsters that have explored the secrets of the ancient immortal palace.

Legend has it that in the ancient primordial era, besides the Heavenly Court located in the Nine Heavens, there were eighteen other celestial palaces that were extremely famous and of great significance.

These eighteen celestial palaces are located in different parts of the world during the ancient primordial era, representing eighteen beings who are transcendent and beyond the reach of the world, and are not even under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor of Heaven!

According to Cang Qingzi.

The ancient immortal palace that appeared in the void near the Azure Realm is suspected to be one of the eighteen immortal palaces from the primordial era. Each appearance of it may contain unfathomable profound meaning.

“The Celestial Palace of the Big Dipper!”

In the small courtyard, Bai Su walked out of a room, muttering to herself.

“Oh? Did you remember something again?” Lu Jiu looked at her.

Bai Su shook her head. “I only remember seeing it from afar, so I remember the appearance and aura of this celestial palace.”

“Legend has it that the master of the Big Dipper Immortal Palace is the Big Dipper Immortal Venerable, whose status is transcendent, surpassing even True Immortals, and who addresses the Jade Emperor of Heaven, known as the Great Emperor of Haotian, as a fellow Daoist!”

“How much do you know about those above True Immortal?” Lu Jiu asked again.

Bai Su shook her head again, “I’m sorry, Master. Before I was suppressed and sealed, I did not reach that level. It is said that even among True Immortals, only a very few top-level beings are qualified to reach that level and know the relevant information.”

“If one does not have this qualification, then the realm above True Immortal is forbidden, something that can only be hoped for but never reached.”

Even in the ancient and primordial era, when it was said that ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, the so-called human immortals were considered to be insignificant at that time.

However, the realm of True Immortal is like an insurmountable chasm, which countless peerless geniuses cannot cross.

Even if you become a true immortal, if you are just an ordinary true immortal, you are still not qualified to touch the taboo secrets.

Only the top-tier True Immortals, those who have the potential to advance further beyond True Immortal level, are qualified to touch upon the forbidden realm.

“Mysterious.”

Lu Jiu made a speechless comment.

“Sister Bai Su, is there any treasure or opportunity inside this Beidou Immortal Palace you mentioned?” Xu Huanhuan also came out and asked curiously.

Lu Jiu shook his head and chuckled, “Even if it exists, such a high-level opportunity and treasure is not something a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like you can touch. You must know that opportunity and danger often go hand in hand.”

The ancient wilderness was destroyed, the former top experts disappeared without a trace, and the ancient Heavenly Court also vanished without a trace.

The old bald man at the Qingshan Ancient Temple speculated that the ancient Heavenly Court might have fallen into the Primordial Ruins. Since he made this conjecture, it was probably not unfounded, and he must know something about it.

However, whenever the old bald man mentioned the existence of taboos, he would remain silent, stammering and hesitant, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

“Isn’t it Senior Nine here? Even Ancestor Cangqing, who has lived for millions of years, can only be a junior in front of you. With you here, what is there to be afraid of?” Xu Huanhuan stuck out her tongue, looking playful and cute.

Don’t think of me as some kind of amazing person.

Lu Jiu shook his head. “If we’re talking about the Azure Realm, I’m not bragging when I say I’m invincible. But if we’re talking about the ancient primordial era, my abilities might not be enough.”

The ancient Beidou Immortal Palace has reappeared in the world, and Lu Jiu definitely has to make a trip there.

But this time he wouldn’t bring anyone with him, otherwise, if they encountered a danger that even he himself was in peril, death was no joke.

However, now is not the time to enter the ancient celestial palace.

Currently, only the phantom of the ancient celestial palace is projected in the void beyond the heavens. The vast and unfathomable power of the laws is still surging and impacting all directions, so no one dares to approach rashly at this time.

Lu Jiu stepped into the air, and in a few flashes, his figure disappeared into the distant horizon.

He arrived alone at the location of the Green Mountain Temple.

“Hehe, the Big Dipper Celestial Palace is about to reappear in the world, I knew you’d come!”

The golden statue in the temple smiled human-like smile as it watched Lu Jiu walk in.

“It seems you know something.”

Lu Jiu narrowed his eyes. “If you don’t say something that interests me this time, I’ll turn this temple into a cesspool, you believe me?”

Upon hearing this, the golden statue’s expression froze, recalling an unpleasant memory.

“Can you stop being so underhanded? You were chosen by the Primordial Ancestral Ruins, someone comparable to those of the past…”

At this point, the golden statue suddenly stopped speaking. The words “in the past” probably refer to some taboo existences from the ancient primordial era.

Lu Jiu turned and left.

The golden statue immediately jumped down and grabbed his arm.

“Brother Lu! Master Lu! Don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive! It was my fault for being so talkative!”

Lu Jiu remained expressionless. “I’ll give you one last chance.”

The golden statue wore a fawning smile, not daring to let go, worried that once Lu Jiu stepped out of the door, who knew what he might bring back when he returned.

“I don’t know much either. After all, I was just a marginalized nobody in ancient times, an insignificant little immortal.”

Seeing Lu Jiu about to leave again, the golden statue quickly added, “I’ve only heard that in the ancient primordial era, every forbidden being who surpassed True Immortal and successfully proved the Dao had been to the Primordial Ancestral Ruins!”

“Proving the Dao?”

“Yes, legend has it that after the eighteen tribulations to become an immortal, one must then attain enlightenment and sever the three corpses!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu revealed a meaningful expression that was neither a smile nor a frown.

According to what Bai Su and Cang Qingzi learned, even among True Immortals, only a very few top-tier and powerful True Immortals are qualified to know the forbidden levels above True Immortals.

This old bald man actually knew that after becoming a true immortal, one must attain enlightenment and sever the three corpses.

He described himself as a marginalized minor immortal, an unknown nobody.

“What’s with that expression? I really just heard about it. I wouldn’t dare say these things to anyone else if we weren’t on good terms.” The golden statue looked nervous, as if it were afraid that a bolt of lightning would suddenly strike down from the sky.

“Why did you suppress Bai Su back then?” Lu Jiu suddenly changed the subject.

Having met this old bald man a few times, Lu Jiu knew very well that if Old Bi Deng didn’t want to talk, forcing him wouldn’t be very effective.

However, this old bald man has a flaw: he talks very fast and changes topics a bit too quickly. He also occasionally reveals some secret information.

“Bai Su? You mean that snake demon? It seems you’ve already taken that immortal tower. My immortal artifact isn’t bad, is it? It’s a top-grade immortal artifact! Back then, to forge this immortal artifact…”

Lu Jiu turned and walked towards the door.

“Brother Lu! Grandpa Lu!”

The golden statue quickly grabbed Lu Jiu’s sleeve, its face contorted with grief, and said, “I can only say that the snake demon violated the heavenly laws. I really can’t say anything else, it involves…”

“Another forbidden entity, is it?”

Lu Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly. “I feel like your personality is just as bad as that old tortoise Cang Qingzi’s. Could you two be from the same clan?”

“Holy crap! You can’t insult people like that!”

The golden statue was on the verge of tears. “I really dare not say. It involves the cause and effect of a forbidden existence, and it’s no small matter!”

“Even if you turned my dilapidated temple into a cesspool, or even stuffed shit into my mouth, I wouldn’t dare say a word!”

The word “taboo” was truly fitting for the old bald man; it was like a shadow in his heart that he could never shake off.

“You weren’t banished here because of your mouth, were you? You didn’t get involved with a forbidden entity back then, did you?” Lu Jiu said, squinting his eyes.

“nonsense!”

The golden statue immediately jumped up and down, shouting, “I’m not that kind of person! Don’t slander me!”
