Chapter 929
Jiang Baiming spent several days looking for other exits, but to no avail.
Helplessly, he could only continue his unfinished work, which was to break the restrictions of the remaining side halls, hoping that there would be a pleasant surprise inside.
Penglai Island Lord had entered a deep level of seclusion. Wherever he was, he was drowned in light. His aura was unstable all day long. Clearly, he was only one step away from the Divine King Realm.
Since he couldn't get out, Gu Chen gradually got rid of his impetuous heart and focused on cultivation.
Perhaps it was because of the great pressure brought by the Man with a Bamboo Hat, or the miraculous effect of the elixirs in the Heavenvoid Hall, his early Immortal King cultivation base was growing much faster than before.
In the blink of an eye, they had spent fifty days in the Heavenvoid Hall.
Puff!
In front of Gu Chen, a ball of golden-red flame suddenly rose sharply, burning fiercely.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face. He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the flame into his stomach.
Soon, the flame split into countless strands, flowing through his limbs and bones. Finally, it entered his dantian and stopped at the edge of the Root of All Beings.
The Root of All Beings was in the shape of a yellowish-brown small tree. Its branches were like horned dragons, and its leaves were filled with a strange grey mist. Meanwhile, the Star Core Fire was bright and beautiful, like an unformed sun. The two of them intertwined, making Gu Chen's dantian look especially strange.
Hum —
As the Star Core Fire returned, the nine-colored light balls that represented Gu Chen's immortal force in the starry sky of his dantian shone brightly. The immortal force waves emitted from them were many times stronger than before.
Gu Chen's body emitted a powerful aura. At this moment, his cultivation base had reached the intermediate Immortal King Realm.
"The Dragon Horse's Natal True Fire is really miraculous. In just fifty days, the Star Core Fire has grown dozens of times stronger. My Dust Flame Secret Technique has finally reached the initial stage," Gu Chen murmured.
Originally, it was impossible to find Eternal Star Fire in the space where the Heavenvoid Hall was located. However, Gu Chen had made a deal with the Dragon Horse. Under threats and promises, the Dragon Horse had supplied him with its Natal True Fire. As a result, not only had the progress of his cultivation of the Secret Technique of Dust Flame not been interrupted, but he had also made great progress.
Coupled with his gradual cultivation breakthrough, if it weren't for the fact that he was still trapped in the Heavenvoid Hall, it would truly be something to be happy about.
After his breakthrough, Gu Chen stood up and sized up the situation in the hall.
Penglai Island Master was still trying his best to break through the bottleneck of the Godly King Realm, but he didn't see Jiang Baiming. He must be in another palace.
Jiang Baiming had already completed the deciphering of the restrictions in the side palaces a few days ago. It was just that he discovered the many pill recipes left behind by Immortal Emperor Tai Xu. For a moment, it was as if he had found a priceless treasure. These days, he was immersed in studying them.
The white ape and the Dragon Horse were nowhere to be seen. Ever since the Dragon Horse regained its freedom, it had been running around aimlessly in this space. It had been acting mysteriously all day long. No one knew what it was doing.
As for Gu Chen's hope that it would be able to find the exit, there was no progress at all. Or perhaps it didn't say anything.
Gu Chen was worried that it would play tricks in the dark or find an exit to leave on its own, so he sent White Ape to keep an eye on it to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Walking to the entrance of the hall, Gu Chen didn't see White Ape and the Dragon Horse in the garden below. He didn't know where they had gone.
Looking up at the sky and the densely packed spatial cracks, Gu Chen's expression couldn't help but become more serious.
In the past fifty days, the rate at which the Heavenvoid Hall was collapsing had gradually increased. It was much more serious than before.
At this rate, they wouldn't be able to hold on for another fifty days.
Trapped in a hopeless situation with no way to escape, Gu Chen sighed and began to wander around casually.
The magnificent palaces and immortal gardens competed with each other in beauty. As the former elixir store of Immortal Emperor Tai Xu, the scenery here was actually very beautiful. If one didn't consider the fact that they were trapped, it would be an excellent place for seclusion.
"Greetings, Lord Heavenly General."
As Gu Chen was walking, a respectful voice suddenly rang in his ears.
He turned around and saw a group of heavenly soldiers saluting him. He didn't know when he had walked into the territory of a group of heavenly soldiers.
The remnant souls of these heavenly soldiers had survived since the ancient times. They didn't know that they had died and the immortal realm had been destroyed. They still guarded this place cautiously.
Ever since Gu Chen came here, they firmly remembered him and treated him with respect every time they saw him.
In the absence of Immortal Emperor Tai Xu and the Man Heavenly General, they treated Gu Chen as their superior.
"You've all worked hard guarding this place," Gu Chen replied politely. He didn't look down on them just because they were remnant souls.
On the contrary, their remnant souls were still guarding this place loyally after so many years. Gu Chen admired them and believed that they must have faith that surpassed others.
Seeing them reminded Gu Chen of the large number of heavenly soldiers who died tragically under the Pure Spirit Kingdom to cover his escape 05 days ago. This made Gu Chen's heart heavy.
"Lord Heavenly General, do you have something on your mind?" the leading heavenly soldier asked boldly when he saw Gu Chen's troubled expression.
His name was Xu L, and he was the strongest of the remnant souls of the heavenly soldiers. Even after so many years, his remnant soul was still much stronger than the other heavenly soldiers.
Gu Chen guessed that he must have been very strong when he was alive. Such a person was only sent to guard the door and not a heavenly general. This showed how strong the Celestial Court was in the ancient times.
"There's indeed something troubling me."
Gu Chen's heart moved. These heavenly soldiers had been guarding the Heavenvoid Hall for a long time. Would they know of other exits?
Thinking of this, he immediately asked. He had to make every possible effort.
"Exit? The Heavenvoid Hall isn't sealed off. Why do you say so, Lord Heavenly General? "Xu L looked confused. The other heavenly soldiers were also confused.
In their memories, the Heavenvoid Hall was located in a corner of the immortal realm. It wasn't a broken space like it was now. Naturally, there was no exit.
Gu Chen sighed. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to get any useful clues from them.
"Lord Heavenly General, when will His Majesty the Immortal Emperor return?" Xu L asked after hesitating for a while.
Gu Chen didn't respond. This was an unsolved case. Back then, the Immortal Emperors went missing one after another. No one knew if they were dead or alive. The Celestial Court spent countless years to find an answer, let alone a person like him who was born a million years later.
"Lord Heavenly General, I heard that the immortal realm hasn't been peaceful recently. His Majesty the Immortal Emperor left in a hurry not long ago. Can you tell us what happened?" Xu L gritted his teeth and continued to ask when he saw that Gu Chen didn't say anything.
Gu Chen still didn't respond.
"Lord Heavenly General, is this related to the Tyrants? Ever since they came to the immortal realm, it hasn't been peaceful. Did something happen to His Majesty the Immortal Emperor and Lord Heavenly General Man Tian? We were stationed here and didn't know anything. I'm really worried! "Xu L mustered up his courage and said as if he had been holding it in for a long time.
"Tyrants?" Gu Chen came back to his senses instantly, and his expression changed.
What was Xu L talking about?
