When Long Chen and Bai Shishi arrived at the second-floor hall, there were already more than a dozen people present. However, all of them were veteran experts, including Bai Zhantang and another deputy hall master.
However, when Long Chen and the others came up, they didn't even glance at them. At this moment, they were in a meditative state, completely absorbed in the immortal script on the bone stele.
At this moment, Long Chen was shocked to discover that Bai Zhantang had already become an Innate Heavenly Venerable.
When he entered a state of self and object forgetting things, the aura around him could no longer be concealed. A powerful pressure spread out, clearly several times stronger than an ordinary Innate Heavenly Venerable.
"How is this possible?"
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. He knew that back at Lingxiao Academy, his senses were definitely accurate. On the surface, he was at the Immortal King Realm, and even if his strength was suppressed, at most he would only be at the Realm King Realm.
How much time has it been? How did he become a Celestial Venerable? And even an Innate Heavenly Venerable? Could he be like his grandfather? Sealing away all the innate power?
Shocked by Long Chen's shock, Bai Shishi's mother smiled without saying a word or explained, while Bai Shishi was already walking toward one of the bone tablets.
On the bone stele were engraved golden immortal script. Even if Long Chen wasn't a Gold cultivator, he could sense the terrifying fluctuations of metal power.
Bai Shishi was instantly drawn to the bone stele and walked over. Before Long Chen could speak, Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er had already transformed into young girls and ran out. The two were thrilled and were about to shout, but Long Chen quickly covered their mouths.
Long Chen pointed to the others entering a meditative state and gestured for them to be silent. Making a scene here was not allowed.
Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er immediately nodded obediently. Only then did Long Chen let go of them. The two little girls each ran to a bone stele and began to study it by imitating others.
"These two spirit creatures of yours are incredible." Bai Shishi's mother looked at Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, a look of shock appearing in her eyes.
She could tell that these two little creatures were the Spirit of Flame and the Spirit of Thunder. She was also a well-traveled person and had seen many spiritual creatures stronger than the two.
But she had never seen a spiritual being so intelligent before. The intelligence of two people was already close to that of humans. This was almost impossible. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.
"They are not my spirit creatures; they are my sisters." Long Chen smiled slightly and corrected himself.
Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er were raised by him alone; Long Chen never treated them as pets, always treating them as his own family.
Bai Shishi's mother didn't mind and said, "Let's start comprehending. Time is precious, and this is the biggest opportunity for improvement before the Saint King Assembly begins." "
Senior, please take care of your business. I have sensed a stronger summoning intent, which is not on this level." Long Chen said with a smile.
Bai Shishi's mother was startled: "You want to go up to the third level?" "
Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the stronger summoning intent is on the third level. You go ahead, I will go first." Long
Chen greeted Bai Shishi's mother and walked alone toward the stairway. Soon, Long Chen disappeared above the stairs.
Watching Long Chen's departing figure, Bai Shishi's mother's eyes were filled with shock:
"Immortal King Realm experts can access even higher secrets of the Heavenly Dao?" Could he be destined, the one who will change the future fate? Long
Chen had no idea what Bai Shishi's mother was thinking; he only sensed a powerful summoning intent.
When Long Chen stepped onto the stairs, this time there were no unusual phenomena. Everything was calm. After finishing the ninety-nine steps, Long Chen finally reached the third level, which was the final level of Lingxiao Palace.
"Boom!"
The moment he stepped onto the third level, a terrifying pressure swept over, and the violent force nearly sent Long Chen flying.
"Crack, crack, crack... Long
Chen felt as if a world was pressing down on him, his body cracking loudly. Startled, Long Chen gasped sharply.
"Boom!"
Long Chen's body was covered in golden scales. He summoned the Dragon King battle body, and when the Dragon King battle body appeared, the terrifying pressure was instantly greatly diminished.
Enduring the terrifying pressure, Long Chen walked step by step into the grand hall. Upon entering the hall gate, he immediately saw the towering figure of the Hall Master.
Inside the main hall, there were only three bone steles and a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground. The Hall Master stood facing one bone stele, already meditating, like a statue, motionless.
"The Hall Master is actually so terrifying. It's just that in the most ordinary state of his aura, he exudes such a dreadful pressure."
Long Chen couldn't help but feel shocked. Although he knew the Hall Master was extremely terrifying, he still underestimated him.
When a person enters a meditative state, their aura remains at its most stable. Many strong fighters raise their aura to its strongest level during combat to cope with intense combat.
Normally, it is hidden to avoid making those around it uncomfortable, and after entering meditation, the breath remains in a natural balance, neither rising nor falling.
Even in his natural state, he exuded such terrifying pressure. If it were the Hall Master in battle, Long Chen couldn't imagine how strong he was.
"Could it be that the Hall Master has already ascended to immortality?" Long Chen guessed in his heart, otherwise, how could there be such terrifying pressure? Far superior to those innate Heavenly Venerables, it was countless times stronger.
Bai Zhantang's pressure was already strong enough, but in front of the Hall Master, he was like a small fool facing a big fool.
Long Chen didn't dare disturb the Hall Master, but instead walked toward the three bone tablets. Long Chen sensed that two of them were all holding a powerful summoning intent toward him, and one of them was directly facing the Hall Master.
"Dragon Bone Stele?"
As he approached the bone stele, Long Chen's heart tightened. It was actually carved from dragon bone. Although the dragon bone power had already been locked onto the immortal script, as soon as he got close, Long Chen immediately sensed it.
"No wonder you feel a connection." Long Chen looked at the Dragon Bone Stele and couldn't help but think to himself.
Dragon blood flowed within him, cultivating the Dragon God Body Refining Technique, controlling dragon divine powers. It would be strange if he couldn't feel the summons.
"Perhaps it is engraved with something related to the dragon clan, but its summoning power is not the strongest."
Long Chen turned to look at another stone stele. The three steles were located in three directions of the main hall. The stele Long Chen was looking at bore extremely few immortal scripts.
On other bone steles, immortal inscriptions were densely packed, numbering in the thousands, but on this stele, there were only a few dozen immortal scripts.
However, each immortal script was extremely complex, like a totem. The moment Long Chen looked at the stone tablet, his whole body trembled, his mind went blank. He actually recognized four characters from the totem: "Great Brahma Heaven Sutra." Long
Chen barely recognized any second-generation Immortal Scripts, and he didn't recognize a single one of the first-generation Jiuli Immortal Scripts, let alone this first-generation Immortal Script.
But for some reason, he just happened to recognize these four characters—those four words seemed to have already been etched deep into his soul.
"Buzz."
As Long Chen approached the stone tablet, those four characters seemed to come alive. His vision blurred, and in an instant, he found himself in a world of flames.
