Chapter 173

Rather than dragging out an ignoble existence, why not take a gamble?

If it were Gu Chen himself, he would definitely choose the latter.

Although he and Cao Xuanbin were not sworn brothers, he knew very well that Cao Xuanbin would choose the latter without hesitation.

Gu Chen had to admit that he was convinced by Killer God Qing Lin.

"Let Cao Xuanbin decide for himself. This is his life after all."

Gu Chen sighed.

"Alright, I will send someone to the Heavenly Star Sect. If he is willing, bring him to the Celestial Court."

Killer God Qing Lin smiled.

"Thank you for your magnanimity. Please forgive me for my rudeness earlier."

Gu Chen stood up and bowed to Killer God Qing Lin. "Then, please take care of Cao Xuanbin in the future."

Killer God Qing Lin studied Gu Chen, "I am suddenly envious of that kid from the Cao Family. He is lucky to have a friend like you."

Gu Chen was noncommittal.

"Alright, since we are done talking, it is time for us to depart for the palace."

Killer God Qing Lin stood up and led the way. Gu Chen followed closely behind.

He did not walk out of the Falling Jade Building. Instead, he walked to the top floor of the building.

Gu Chen was surprised. Aren't we going to the Ninth Heaven Palace?

"You must be curious about how to get to the Ninth Heaven Palace and where it is located, right?"

Killer God Qing Lin stood on the top floor and pointed at the projection of the palace in the sky, "Let's go there from here."

"Isn't that just an illusion?"

Gu Chen was surprised.

"The Ninth Heaven Palace is the sacred place of the Celestial Court. It is connected to all 855 mystery lands on the continent. If you don't have a special technique, what you see is just a projection. But if you have a technique, it can turn into a path to heaven. "

"This is to ensure that the true location of the Heavenly Palace is absolutely hidden. By entering the Heavenly Palace this way, no matter how many times one comes and goes, it will be impossible to find the true location of the Heavenly Palace on the continent."

Killing God Qing Lin's words made Gu Chen click his tongue in wonder. "They really hid it well enough. Only Titled Killing Gods, Golden Assassins, Daoists, and Quasi-Daoists can enter the Heavenly Palace. Do they still need to be on guard?"

"This is a rule set by the old Celestial Emperor. The Ninefold Palace is an extremely special place. Some say that it has existed for even longer than the history of the Kunlun Continent. Some say that it is a real immortal palace that fell from the sky. In short, it is the foundation of the entire Celestial Court. Nothing can go wrong."

Gu Chen was moved when he heard this. This kind of secret could only be obtained by becoming a future Daozi of the Celestial Court.

"There are many mysteries about the Heavenly Palace. Even though I've been in the Celestial Court for many years, I'm not very clear about them. The only person who knows the Heavenly Palace like the back of his hand is probably the old Celestial Emperor."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. In the future, when you stay in the Heavenly Palace for a long time, you will naturally feel many of its mysteries."

"Now, let's go!"

Killing God Qing Lin raised a hand. An ancient and mysterious Dao talisman emerged from the palm of his hand, flowing with brilliant colors.

Buzz —

In the distant horizon, the looming and majestic Heavenly Palace seemed to have sensed something and shot down a beam of light!

The beam of light penetrated through the different space-time and descended on the sky above the Falling Jade Building, shining on the two of them.

Gu Chen's body suddenly became light and floated up on its own, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

Killing God Qing Lin floated in front of him. The two of them flew up along the beam of light and quickly left the ground.

At first, they could see the Falling Jade Building and the Merit Square below them slowly becoming smaller. But soon, the surrounding void distorted and turned into countless colorful lights.

Gu Chen was in the path of light. His body seemed to have merged with the void. It was an extremely wonderful feeling.

He tried to reach out and touch the colorful lights outside the wall of light.

"Outside the wall of light is space turbulence. With your level of cultivation, your body will immediately shatter if you get sucked into it."

The Green Unicorn Killing God said. Gu Chen immediately retracted his hand tactfully.

He looked up and saw that the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Palace seemed to be getting closer and closer.

The closer he got, the more majestic the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Palace looked. It was like a celestial land that should not exist in this world. It made people involuntarily feel reverence.

Whoosh!

The flowing light suddenly sped up. The figures of Gu Chen and Killing God Qing Lin disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in a pool.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and felt that the pneuma between heaven and earth had become incredibly rich. All the pores on his body opened spontaneously, as if he was about to be intoxicated by the rich pneuma. Gu Chen took a deep breath and felt that the pneuma between heaven and earth had become incredibly rich.

"This is the Heavenly Palace?"

Gu Chen was a little excited. He looked into the distance. There were celestial palaces and temples everywhere. There were thousands of auspicious lights and golden lotuses on the ground. It was ethereal.

He lowered his head and stood in the pool. The water was silver and flowed continuously. But strangely, it did not wet his clothes at all.

Everything here seemed to be in another world.

"This is the Transportation Pool. Everyone who wants to enter the Heavenly Palace will enter from here."

Killing God Qing Lin walked out of the pool. When the two guards by the pool saw him, they immediately lowered their heads and bowed.

Gu Chen hurriedly followed. The two of them walked towards the celestial palaces in front of them.

They had just walked out of a door when a greeting came from the front.

"Hey, Chen Gu! Chen Gu! "

A girl with long pink hair and a mischievous appearance skipped over to Gu Chen excitedly.

"Xu Huahua, why are you here?"

Gu Chen was slightly surprised. He did not expect to meet her as soon as he arrived at the Heavenly Palace.

"I knew you were coming to the Heavenly Palace. I was waiting for you here! We used to be partners. Now that you're here, of course, I have to play host! "

Xu Huahua raised her head proudly. They had not seen each other for a while. This girl had grown up a little. She had bright eyes and white teeth. She was a proper beauty.

"Then I really have to thank you."

Gu Chen laughed involuntarily. Meeting Xu Huahua as soon as he arrived at this strange place indeed made him feel a sense of familiarity.

The two of them had joined the Celestial Court at the same time. Now, they had become Prospective Daoists of the Heavenly Palace. They even had the experience of fighting side by side. They could be considered close friends.

"Don't be in a hurry to catch up. Little girl, have the other Prospective Daoists arrived at the Lingxiao Hall?"

Killing God Qing Lin asked.

"They're all here."

At the mention of the other Prospective Daoists, Xu Huahua's smile immediately faded.

"Alright, let's go."

Killing God Qing Lin walked in front. Xu Huahua and Gu Chen walked together. She moved closer to him and said in a low and serious voice.

"Chen Gu, you have to be careful when you see the other Prospective Daoists. They might deliberately make things difficult for you!"

"Oh? Why is that? I've never met any of them. "

Gu Chen was slightly surprised.

Xu Huahua's expression changed. She gritted her teeth in hatred.

"The Nine-Tiered Heavenly Palace is full of evildoers! Those who can become Prospective Daoists are all proud and arrogant geniuses. They can't tolerate even a speck of dust in their eyes. "

"They heard that you don't have a special constitution. You only became a Prospective Daoist because you made a great contribution to the Celestial Court. That's why they have a lot of objections."

"Some people think that you don't have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Palace. You don't have the qualifications to be called the same as them."
