The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 785
Chapter 785 Star Tour (10)
Just as the major powers were rushing about for the arrival of visitors from the Immortal Dimension, Li Qing had already appeared at the entrance of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace.
This enormous and ancient Immortal Palace was personally set up by Ancient Desolate Lord back then. Of course, it was only casually set up for the remaining hundreds of disciples to live in.
Of course, even the hall that Ancient Desolate Lord had casually set up was not something that ordinary people could shake. At least in this world of stars, no expert could break through the doors of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace.
Because of this, the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace was able to survive until now. Even if the Yan Clan ruled this world, they were still unable to destroy the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace.
The Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace had existed since ancient times. Its foundation was unfathomable. No one knew what kind of trump card it had. Therefore, even the Yan Clan, the number one clan, would not easily provoke them. They would normally just let it go. As long as they did not cause trouble, they would be too lazy to pay attention to it.
According to the intel, there were two Void Realm experts and several hundred disciples in the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace. There weren’t many of them. Basically, they were all elites. Only those who were extremely loyal to the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace would consider taking them in.
This Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace was the main building, but there was actually a large area of auxiliary buildings around it. Basically, they were the residences of the disciples. They surrounded the enormous Immortal Palace in the center like stars arching into the moon.
The moment Li Qing descended from the sky, someone had already sensed his arrival, and immediately, a disciple entered the Immortal Palace to report.
Li Qing was not in a hurry to enter. He stood outside and sized up the situation here. As a result, many disciples secretly watched.
“You said that it has been so many years since the Desolate Ancient Immortal Palace. The hundreds of disciples who were on duty at the beginning have long since died. Will the current generation of Desolate Ancient Immortal Palace’s rulers agree with our identities?” Liu Ke’er said.
“It’s hard to say. The hundreds of Ancient Desolate Dao disciples from back then had already merged with this world. No one can predict what kind of changes will occur in their minds.” Li Qing said.
“Then why are you looking for them?”
Li Qing smiled and said, “Although I don’t know what they think, I can at least confirm one thing. They must know the so-called truth of the Immortal Dimension!”
“Since they know that the so-called Immortal Dimension is actually the Great Thousand Worlds, and that the Desolate Ancient Immortal Palace also originated from the Desolate Ancient Dao of the Great Thousand Worlds, then they will definitely be very interested in a visitor from the Great Thousand Worlds.”
“The reason why I came into contact with the people of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace is because I want to control this world of stars through their power!”
“There is another point. I want to obtain the Immortal Slaughter Crossbow in the hands of the Yan Clan, but I am not very clear about the background of the Yan Clan. I wonder if these people possess some special slaughter artifacts. If they rashly barge in, they might end up like that unlucky Dao Realm expert.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be easy to control this world of stars,” Liu Ke’er said.
“However, if we pass through the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace, the situation will be different. The Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace was originally the ruler of this world for tens of thousands of years. However, the power declined later, but the skinny camels are bigger than horses. As long as we support them, they will be able to ascend to the supreme position again!”
“I will cooperate with the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace. It’s just a matter of getting what we need. At that time, I only need to kill the experts of the Yan Clan and the various major powers. I will leave the rest to them. There won’t be much time to waste.”
Liu Ke’er said, “But what’s the use of controlling this world of stars? We’re leaving soon. I wonder when we’ll be back.”
“Almost no one knows about this world of stars. As long as we can control it, wouldn’t it become our backyard? Even if we can’t use it now, it will be of great use in the future. After all, with a mortal’s body and heaven-defying attacks on immortals, this path is truly too miraculous.”
Just as they were discussing, a disciple walked out of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace and respectfully said to Li Qing, “Senior, I’ve waited for a long time. The Palace Master has let you in.”
Li Qing nodded and walked forward. Not long after, he entered the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace.
The Immortal Palace was very tall and spacious. Large circular pillars lined up one after another, emitting a desolate and ancient aura.
Li Qing’s divine sense swept past, and he could see hundreds of Primordial Cannons lined up in a dense array, ready to launch. If anyone dared to enter this place and act viciously, they would have to endure the bombardment of these hundreds of Primordial Cannons at the same time.
Above the hall, two Void Realm experts were sitting there, curiously looking at Li Qing and the others.
“Please forgive me for not being able to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.” One of the Void Realm experts said.
“May I ask who is the Palace Master of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace?” Li Qing asked.
“I am Patriarch Jinding. I am now the Palace Master of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace.” One of them, old man, who looked very old, smiled and said, “The one next to him is Adept Chongxu. He is stronger than me.”
This Patriarch Jinding’s cultivation was at the third level of the Void Realm, while Adept Chong Xu’s cultivation was at the fourth level of the Void Realm.
“I presume both of you have some understanding of my identity, right?” Li Qing said.
“I have a slight guess. The corpse of an immortal from the Fallen Immortal Mountain has been taken away by someone. May I ask if it was you who did it?” Patriarch Jinding asked.
“That’s right!”
“Those who can take away the corpses of immortals must be extremely powerful. Even if they can’t reach the peak of the Void Realm, they probably aren’t far behind.” Patriarch Jinding said, “But as far as I know, there is no such tyrannical existence in our Star World. The most powerful one is the one from Yan Clan. He is only at the fifth level of the Void Realm!”
“Then what is your guess about us?” Li Qing asked.
“You are not from this world at all, but from the Great Thousand Worlds!” Said Patriarch Jinding.
“That’s right, you guessed correctly!” Li Qing nodded. “Indeed, it was easy to guess. It seems that the figures from other powers should be able to guess exactly what happened.”
“May I know why you came to our Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace?” Patriarch Jinding asked.
Li Qing said, “Your Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace has long been rumored to have spread to your generation. After so many years, I wonder if you still know the earliest origins of the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace?”
Patriarch Jinding and Daoist Chongxu’s eyes narrowed as they said in a deep voice, “What do you mean by that?”
Li Qing looked at their gazes and said word by word, “Desolate! Ancient! Great! Emperor!”
Patriarch Jinding and Daoist Chongxu’s expressions changed at the same time, and they shouted, “Who exactly are you? How do you know Ancient Desolate Lord?”
“What do you think?” Li Qing smiled faintly.
“Impossible. The Ancient Desolate Dao has passed for so long. How could it still exist in the world?” The two of them said in disbelief.
“You’re right. Indeed, Ancient Desolate Lord has long since died, and the Ancient Desolate Dao lineage has been destroyed for a long time. The main reason I know about this is because I have obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Desolate Dao!”
“So it’s the Ancient Desolate Inheritor!” Patriarch Jinding and Adept Chongxu came to a sudden realization.
“It was from the Ancient Desolate Inheritance that I found out the location of this world of stars, and because of this, I crossed the starry sky and arrived here.” Li Qing said.
“Do you have a way to travel through the starry sky?” Patriarch Jinding’s eyes lit up.
“Of course. Otherwise, how do you think I got here?” Li Qing said.
Patriarch Jinding and Adept Chongxu exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a trace of restlessness. They secretly sent a voice transmission, “You said, if we kill this person, can we obtain a method to cross the starry sky from him?”
“I think it would be safer to capture him alive.”
“But the problem is, we don’t seem to be his match! How can we capture him alive?”
“However, he has already entered the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace, so it is not up to him. No matter how strong he is, it is impossible for him to escape!”
Li Qing saw their changing expressions and knew what they were thinking. Since the Desolate Ancient Immortal Palace’s inheritance, Li Qing did not think that as long as he revealed his identity, the two of them would be able to submit to him.
“Could it be that you are discussing how to deal with me in order to find a way to cross the starry sky?” Li Qing said.
The expressions of the two changed. They were told what was going on and laughed dryly, “How could that be? We are not like that. Don’t misunderstand!”
Li Qing said indifferently, “I advise you not to do such a foolish thing. Since I dare to enter this Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace, how can I not have any confidence? This Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace can’t trap me at all. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!”
“Haha, you misunderstood us.” Patriarch Jinding hurriedly smiled and said, “How could we really dare to plot against you? Since you can collect the corpses of Dao Realm experts, then your strength should be at the peak of the Void Realm. We don’t dare to provoke such a terrifying figure.”
“Alright, I trust your sincerity for the time being. Next, let’s talk about cooperation.” Li Qing said.
“Cooperation? What cooperation?”
“Your Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace has long since declined. Right now, you are living on this one-third of an acre of land. I’m afraid that in a few hundred years, even a Void Realm expert might not be able to come out.”
“That may not be the case. We are already looking for a solution. I believe that we will rise again soon!” It is naturally impossible for Patriarch Jinding to admit it.
“Then what method do you have to make the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace rise again?” Li Qing asked.
“Uh… Well, this is confidential, isn’t it convenient for me to tell you?” Patriarch Jinding said awkwardly.
“Forget it, let’s not discuss this matter for the time being. I just want to ask you, do you want to reproduce the glory of tens of thousands of years ago and make the Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace the largest force in the world of stars again?” Li Qing asked.
“Oh? I wonder if you have any way to do this?” Patriarch Jinding narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
He wouldn’t get hot-headed because of Li Qing’s words, so he naturally had to study it carefully and think about the pros and cons.
“Isn’t this simple? With my strength, none of the Void Realm experts in this world are my opponents. As long as I kill those Void Realms, won’t your Ancient Desolate Immortal Palace be able to regain control of the world?” Li Qing said.
