Chapter 1818 Taiyi Dojo
Finally, several days later, the six of them arrived at a magnificent palace.
The entire palace was forged from a celestial material called Burial Heaven Black Gold.
This kind of celestial material has survived countless eons without being destroyed; it is indestructible and even Golden Immortals cannot break it.
The palace's surface is engraved with countless demonic runes, exuding a majestic aura that suppresses all heavens.
Above the main gate of the palace hangs a plaque with four large characters: Burial Heaven Divine Palace.
"Could this be a Dao field that naturally evolved after the fall of the Great Demon of Taiyi, whose origin resonated with the laws of the Netherworld Ancient Domain?" The voice of the ninth-order ancient whale trembled.
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "It is said that when Taiyi fell, if by chance, his Daoist essence would merge with the laws of heaven and earth, evolving into a relic containing the essence of his Great Dao. This Burial Heaven Divine Palace is probably the Daoist essence relic of the great Taiyi!"
"There must be a great treasure inside!" A glint of light flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes.
"But there must be dangers," Jiao'er said calmly. "Although the Great Demon Taiyi is dead, its Daoist essence remains, and there are probably still some of its will remaining in the Divine Palace."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Should we go in or not?" Emperor Wei Yuxuan asked.
"Let's go." Zhang Xuan said decisively, "Risk and opportunity go hand in hand. Besides... we came here to find resources, and this Burial Heaven Palace may be the greatest opportunity in the Netherworld Ancient Domain."
"Then let's go in."
The six of them gathered their strength and flew towards the majestic black palace.
The gates of the Burial Heaven Palace were tightly shut, and the dark aura seeping from the cracks made the group's souls tremble.
That was not ordinary darkness, but the aura of annihilation.
"This door...cannot be opened." Emperor Wei Yuxuan tried to break through with his imperial bloodline, but the power that was enough to shatter stars landed on the dark door panel without even causing a ripple.
“Even if a Taiyi-level being has perished, their Dao field is not something we can easily open.” Jiao’er’s brow seal glowed slightly.
Zhang Xuan nodded and stepped forward.
Instead of attacking directly, he slowly extended his right hand.
In an instant, a vast and boundless yet deathly cold will surged into his soul through his palm.
That will was neither malicious nor benevolent; it was like a mountain or a sea.
It is neither opened for anyone nor closed for anyone.
“It’s not a restriction… it’s a Daoist lock.” Zhang Xuan took a deep breath. “This divine palace itself is the embodiment of that Taiyi Great Dao. To enter, one must obtain the Dao’s approval, or… forcibly break through the Dao.”
"Break the Dao?" You Wuyai smiled bitterly. "That's the Dao of Taiyi. How can we break it?"
"Perhaps... there's no need to break it."
Jiao'er suddenly thought of something and took out the illusory image of the Netherworld Imperial Seal.
The moment the illusory image of the Netherworld Imperial Seal appeared, the gate of the Burial Heaven Divine Palace trembled slightly.
The dark aura seeping from the crack in the door began to circulate, forming a strange resonance between the phantom of the Netherworld Imperial Seal and the gate.
“As expected,” a glint of light flashed in Jiao’er’s eyes, “the Netherworld Imperial Seal holds the power of the Netherworld and is the key to entry!”
"Om-"
The gate began to open slowly.
There was no sound, no light, only a crack that silently slid open.
Beyond the crack was not the interior of the palace, but an indescribable scene.
It was a chaotic, undeveloped void, but three things were suspended in the void.
A dim "sun" emitted a pale, lifeless light; it was not the sun, but a solitary sun.
The ultimate "yang" in the Great Dao has lost all vitality.
A hazy "moon" with a grayish hue, representing the yin energy of the season.
The ultimate "yin" in the Great Dao is equally desolate and cold, standing in stark contrast to the solitary yang, forming a strange balance.
Between the sun and the moon, there lies a galaxy, a band of light formed by countless fragmented Dao patterns.
“The three lights sink into the earth, the yang is alone and the yin is weak…” Jiao’er murmured these words, a trace of shock flashing in her icy eyes, “This is the strange phenomenon of the Dao field formed after the fall of the Taiyi level existence, when its Dao collapses and its Dao rhyme dissipates.”
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth: "Even if it's just a remnant of Taiyi's Dao essence, it's still an unparalleled treasure to us, as long as we can withstand the erosion of its Dao essence..."
"Enter!"
Without further hesitation, the six stepped into that strange void.
The moment you step in, the world turns upside down.
Everyone felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, but at the same time they were being thrown into the infinite sky.
This contradictory perception caused even the souls of True Immortals to tremble and tear apart.
"Stabilize!" Jiao'er shouted, and the Ice Crystal Great Dao Ferry appeared behind her, forcibly suppressing the chaotic Dao aura around her.
Zhang Xuan's immortal path also unfolded behind him, with nine sections of immortal path shimmering with light, faintly resonating with the broken Dao patterns in this void.
But just as they managed to regain their footing, an even more terrifying sight appeared.
Deep within the void, an unimaginably enormous phantom slowly emerged.
That was not a physical entity, nor even a divine soul, but a projection of the Dao.
It was the image of Taiyi Tianzun sitting cross-legged in the void.
He was clothed in a robe of stars and crowned with the sun and moon, his face indistinct.
When its eyes are opened, it seems to be able to see through eternity.
He has no life, no consciousness, but is merely a residual projection of the Great Dao of that Taiyi Great Power in his previous life, instinctively guarding this place.
"Not good..." The ninth-tier ancient whale's face turned deathly pale. "This is the Dao Shadow of a Taiyi-level being. Although its strength is less than a fraction of its former power, its realm is far too high; we simply cannot..."
Before he finished speaking, Taiyi Tianzun moved.
He did not raise his hand or form a hand seal; he simply gazed at him.
The figures of six people were reflected in those empty eyes.
Then, the void began to collapse.
It is not a collapse at the physical level, but a destruction at the level of laws.
Time, space, cause and effect, destiny... all the fundamental laws that constitute reality begin to disintegrate and reorganize at this moment, forming a completely unfamiliar order.
Everyone felt as if they had been thrown into a vortex of laws.
In this vortex, the past and the future are reversed, and cause and effect and fate are confused.
"This is... a Taiyi-level Dao Domain!" Jiao'er gritted her teeth, the Dao Seal between her brows spinning wildly, trying to resist the erosion of this law. "We must leave immediately, otherwise we will be completely assimilated and become part of this Dao Field!"
"How do we leave?" Zhang Xuan asked with difficulty.
He sensed that his path to immortality was being eroded by this unfamiliar law.
The Dao patterns on the path to immortality began to twist and deform, evolving in unpredictable directions.
"Find the core of the Daoist temple!" Jiao'er exclaimed urgently. "Every Daoist temple has a core, which is the node where the Great Dao is condensed, and also the weakness of the entire temple! As long as we can destroy the core, we can temporarily disintegrate the Dao Domain and give us a chance to escape!"
"Where is the core?" The Daoist aura of the Myriad Manifestations Returning to Nothingness flowed wildly around You Wuyai, attempting to refine the unfamiliar laws that were eroding him, but the effect was minimal.
"There!" Emperor Wei Yuxuan suddenly pointed to the depths of the void.
At the yin-yang balance point where the solitary yang and the weak yin meet, a well floats suspended.
