Chapter 472: An Immortal Palace Reflected in the Sky

Within his room.

Su Yi had sat in solitary meditation for seven days, as unmoving as a statue. His energy boomed and flared with dazzling, radiant Dao Light. It lingered around him, making him seem almost holy.

Within his dantian, the Strongest Dao Seed shaped like the Sword of the Nine Hells circulated in a mad frenzy, stirring up a vast tide of origin power.

It was vague, but the preliminary outline of an immortal’s cave was starting to take shape inside him.

“Open!”

Su Yi exerted his will, and instantly, the low, rumbling sound of the Dao reverberated through his dantian, like the parting of primordial chaos. The sword-like Strongest Dao Seed suddenly burst with radiant light.

Boom!

The surging tide of origin power instantly seemed as if it were on fire. It spread throughout his dantian like mad, then surged into the?coarse?outline of an immortal’s cave.

In that moment, Su Yi sensed it clearly: something drained his soul, physical body, and cultivation base completely. All of his energy flowed madly into his dantian.

As time passed, his dantian bulged, and soon, it seemed as if it might burst apart at the seams.

“Condense!”

Just as it seemed his dantian couldn’t bear such an explosive influx of power, Su Yi circulated a secret method and made it shrink.

The?coarse?outline of an immortal residence effectively had its tightly-shut door kicked open. The rampaging, explosive power rumbling throughout his dantian seemed to have found an outlet, and it surged into the immortal residence in a mad frenzy.

Rumble! Boom!

The roaring current of power sounded like the river of stars pouring down from the nine heavens.

The immortal residence within Su Yi’s dantian condensed at speeds visible to the naked eye, becoming magnificent and resplendent, like a celestial immortal palace of legend. It was a bejeweled castle, complete with carved railings, jade staircases, flying eaves, and interlocking wooden brackets.

The vast, boundless current of origin power flowed into it, becoming one with the residence. Immortal mists permeated the palace, and hazy light flowed, adding a holy and mysterious luster.

This was a Grand Dao Origin Palace!

It represented the foundations and accumulations of the Origin Palace Realm. It could house the body’s power, and it could resonate with the ambient power of heaven and earth.

Boom!

As power surged into?dantian’s?Origin Palace nonstop, Su Yi’s entire body felt light and airy, as if he were an immortal. He could clearly sense his soul, cultivation, and fleshly body undergoing an earth-shaking transformation.

In the end, even the Strongest Dao Seed surged into his Grand Dao Origin Palace. It was shaped like the Sword of the Nine Hells, and it hovered above the gates of the immortal palace.

It was shaped like a sword, but its light was like the sun!

The origin power surging within his Origin Palace transformed into auspicious holy light. Its radiance bathed the Strongest Dao Seed, like an immeasurably divine dream or illusion.

Clang!

It was at that moment that the long-dormant Sword of the Nine Hells awakened within Su Yi’s sea of consciousness. It produced a boundless and ethereal ancient hum.

The mysterious weapon’s nine-layered divine chains rattled, producing inscrutable fluctuations of energy that surged into the Origin Palace.

Su Yi trembled as if he were being electrocuted. Throughout his body, his pores opened, and the energy fluctuations permeated his entire being, giving him an unprecedented sense of comfort and clarity.

Within the Origin Palace, as the inscrutable power of the Sword of the Nine Hells poured inside, the entire celestial palace was enveloped in incomparably radiant light. Upon closer inspection, only the sword-shaped Strongest Dao Seed was faintly discernible within the misty radiance.

It gave off the impression of an ethereal immortal paradise. It was perfectly complete, with a holy charm, mysterious to the extreme.

At the same time——

It was twilight, and the skies of Golden Willow City were boundless and dark.

But soon, Sanskrit chanting emanated from beyond the dome of heaven, and the skies gradually changed color, becoming as dazzling and beautiful as jade. They were ethereal, yet permeated with a solemn and auspicious aura.

“This…”

The cultivators spread throughout Golden Willow City, regardless of strength, immediately sensed something out of the ordinary. All of them instinctively gazed into the sky.

Then, they saw it: what looked like an ethereal immortal palace was floating beyond the dome of heaven. It was vast beyond measure, distant and unattainable.

The blowing of conches, the beating of drums, and the chanting of sutras emanated from within the ethereal palace, and a colorful, illusory rain of light fell from the sky like flower petals.

The skies now reflected a radiant, holy scene.

“A celestial palace beyond the heavens!?” Countless cultivators were wide-eyed and dumbstruck. This scene left them completely dazed.

“No, this strange phenomenon is a rare vision of the Grand Dao. This is just too rare! It’s like… like the abode of a true immortal, something we can only gaze upon from afar…” Numerous experts of the older generation were too excited for words. It was as if they’d witnessed a miracle.

Before long, the ordinary martial artists and civilians noticed this scene too. All of them were dazed.

Some of the ordinary mortals went so far as to throw themselves to their knees and bow piously as an expression of respect to the phenomenon reflected in the sky. Some of them even prayed…

As vast as Golden Willow City was, practically all of its millions of inhabitants were shaken!

However, the unmatched phenomenon only lasted a moment before silently disappearing, as if it were all just a dream. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

“That was downright holy! Just what caused it?” A commotion of voices rang out. The entire city boiled over; everyone was in an uproar.

“There’s no way this is a phenomenon provoked by the appearance of some treasure. Most likely, someone realized a breakthrough in their cultivation, and this is the result of their resonance with heaven and earth!”

Numerous experienced cultivators reached this conclusion, and they quickly won numerous others' agreement.

It was just that none of them could imagine just how heaven-defying and terrifying one’s foundations in the Grand Dao had to be to provoke such an unparalleled phenomenon while breaking through.

This was unquestionably unbelievable!

In the city’s Nine Provinces Pavilion branch, someone issued orders. “Enter the city to investigate if any extraordinary figures worthy of attention have appeared lately. Be careful; whatever you do, do not antagonize them.”

The Four Seas Tower immediately dispatched one of its experts to investigate too.

“What happened today is sure to become a legend. The various cultivation factions all took note of it. Alas, the strange phenomenon?disappeared?too quickly, and there’s no way to know just which miraculous expert’s breakthrough triggered it.”

“An immortal palace reflected in the sky, the blowing of conches, the beating of drums, the chanting of scriptures, and a rain of light… I’ve never seen such a phenomenon recorded, not even in ancient canons.”

“Just who triggered this matchless spectacle?”

….Throughout Golden Willow City, there were discussions on every street corner. The experts from various factions of cultivators had already gotten to work spreading word of what was happening.

Yuan Heng and Bai Wenqing stood within the courtyard. A long time passed before they recovered from their daze.

Both of them noticed the unparalleled phenomena reflected in the sky, and it left them dazed and out of sorts.

It was only after they came to their senses that the two of them, without any prior discussion, simultaneously reached the same conclusion:

“It’s Master!” Yuan Heng said excitedly.

Bai Wenqing nodded, a strange look in her eyes.

Su Yi had spent the past seven days in seclusion. He’d been meditating and cultivating this whole time in an attempt to break into the Origin Palace Realm.

Now, the appearance of those unparalleled phenomena was unquestionable proof that Su Yi had already smoothly broken through and become a true Origin Palace cultivator!

“During the Grain Avoidance Realm, Master could already slaughter Gathering Stars Realm cultivators with ease. Even those monsters of the ancient era were inferior to him.” Yuan Heng took a deep breath and muttered, “Now that he’s stepped into the Origin Palace Realm and provoked such a rare and astonishing phenomenon, it’s easy to imagine just how terrifying his foundations in the Origin Palace Realm are. I’m afraid he can even contend with Spiritual Manifestation cultivators now!”

Bai Wenqing could tell that Yuan Heng’s reverence and admiration for Su Yi came straight from the heart. His gaze was as fervent as a pious believer before a saint!

When she considered Su Yi’s countless unbelievable methods, Bai Wenqing naturally felt awed and relevant too! How could she feel anything else?

Meanwhile, within his room,?Su Yi rose, then stretched.

He’d broken through!

When he entered the Grain Avoidance Realm over the Sea of Chaotic Spirits, he caused the unmatched phenomenon of “three thousand blooming flowers.”

Today, when he advanced to the Origin Palace Realm in Golden Willow City, he provoked a similarly unprecedented phenomenon, “an immortal palace reflected in the sky.”

The way Su Yi saw it, breaking through, resonating with heaven and earth, and causing this strange phenomenon wasn’t all that important.

What mattered was that the Origin Palace he’d created far surpassed that of his past life!

Even with the 108,000 thousand years of cultivation experience of his past life, he’d never once heard of anyone in the Wilds’ long history condensing a Grand Dao Origin Palace like his. action

It was as beautiful and perfect as a celestial immortal palace, and it was completely shrouded in the light of the Grand Dao.

It was radiant and mysterious, vast and limitless!

And every part of him, from his soul and fleshly body to his origin power and cultivation, had undergone an earth-shaking transformation; he wasn’t at all comparable to how he’d been in the Grain Avoidance Realm.

There was a bronze mirror to the side. When he saw the blue-robed, handsome youth with an air of transcendence reflected in it, he smiled in satisfaction.

Ah, "young", the most wondrous of adjectives!

He tied his hair into a simple, unpretentious Daoist topknot. He was still using the bamboo hairpin he’d whittled back in Guangling City.

Then, he straightened up his clothes, turned, and left the room.

The light of dusk had already given way to darkness, and stars flickered overhead. The moon was full and round as a jade disc.

“Master, congratulations on proving your Dao and entering the Origin Palace Realm!” Yuan Heng was the first to approach with a smile.

Su Yi couldn’t help but shake his head. “You are frank and sincere by nature. Whatever you do, don’t imitate Ying Que and become a bootlicker. What matters to me is your character. Do you understand?”

Yuan Heng instantly felt awkward, and he blushed with shame. “Master, you’re right to chastise me.”

Su Yi nodded. “Come on, then. Let’s head out.”

Although it was the middle of the night, they had the stars and the radiant moon to keep them company. The scenery along the way had a different charm now than if they’d traveled during midday.

Yuan Heng and Bai Wenqing naturally had no objections, so the group set off that very night. They followed the lamplit, bustling streets toward the northern city gates.

Along the way, they overheard people discussing the night’s strange and unprecedented phenomenon in every corner, alleyway, teahouse, and tavern.

When he heard these fervent discussions, Yuan Heng’s heart swelled with pride.?How could they possibly guess that such a grand, unparalleled phenomenon happened on account of my master?

A smile tugged at Bai Wenqing’s lips too. She was inwardly rejoicing that when she first encountered Su Yi back in Cold Emerald Valley, she didn’t let this miraculous opportunity slip through her fingers.

“Hm?” As Su Yi and company walked further and further along the bustling city streets, a bright-eyed, sharp-eyebrowed swordsman in gray suddenly opened his eyes.?Could it be?

But when the swordsman looked again, Su Yi and his companions had already disappeared into the distant, hazy lamplight.

It was the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, the day of Frost’s Descent, a day of autumnal chill.

It was on this day that Su Yi proved his Dao and entered the Origin Palace Realm. In doing so, he resonated with heaven and earth, manifesting “an immortal palace reflected in the sky”, complete with the blowing of conches, the beating of drums, the chanting of scriptures, and a rain of light.

The spectacle shook the entire city.
