Central Temple
"What you saw just now was only the outer temple of the Chaos Temple. This time, I will bring you to the inner temple."
The old man glanced at Zhuowen and continued, "Aren't you curious at all about who summoned you?"
Zhuo Wen smiled faintly and said, "Junior is naturally curious. However, since Senior didn't say anything along the way, it's naturally inappropriate for Junior to ask. Actually, we'll naturally know who it is when we meet them."
The old man sized Zhuo Wen up and smiled. He praised, "Not bad. There aren't many people at your age who have the same mentality as you. I only know of one person in the Primal Chaos Temple."
Zhuowen was interested and asked, "Who is it?"
"Haha, you should have heard of this person. His name is Yuan Hongwen. He is known as a genius that appears once in ten thousand years. He is also known as the Son of God!" The old man said cheerfully.
Zhuo Wen revealed an expression of sudden understanding. He'd heard about Yuan Hongwen as well. Supposedly, Yuan Hongwen was capable of defeating Earthly Immortal Realm experts when he was at the Half Immortal Realm. Now that Yuan Hongwen had advanced smoothly into the Earthly Immortal Realm, his strength was probably even more terrifying.
Moreover, Yuan Hongwen's cultivation time was very short. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Zhuowen's 85 years, it was definitely not more than 655 years.
For a Saint with a long lifespan, 655 years would pass in the blink of an eye. To be able to cultivate to the Earth Immortal level in such a short time, he could definitely be called a monster.
In the Central Region, there were no juniors of any forces who could cultivate to the Earth Immortal level at Yuan Hongwen's age. Generally, those who could reach the Earth Immortal level were old monsters who had cultivated for more than 6,555 years.
Moreover, Yuan Hongwen was not an ordinary Earth Immortal. He had the combat strength of a peak Earth Immortal when he just became an Immortal. He was a target that many old monsters in the Central Region were wary of.
When the old man and Zhuowen passed through the exterior of the Chaos Temple, Zhuowen saw many solemn palaces.
There were many palaces, but they were not crowded together. Instead, they were scattered. Looking from afar, one couldn't see the end of them. They were much more magnificent than the City Lord's Mansion in the Central Region.
"Immortal Qi?"
The moment Zhuowen entered the inner hall, he felt a qualitative change in the surrounding energy. This surging energy was very familiar to Zhuowen. It was the Immortal Qi he had absorbed from the five-colored seal in the Shattered Elephant Abyss.
"It seems like little friend Zhuowen is quite knowledgeable. The inner hall of the Primal Chaos Divine Temple is indeed filled with Immortal Qi. In here, the cultivation of Immortal Sage experts will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. This is a paradise for Immortal Sages," said the old man proudly.
Zhuowen nodded. It was no wonder so many cultivators from the Central Plains wanted to join the Chaos Temple. It turned out that the Chaos Temple was so powerful. Not only were there many ancient restrictions around it, but even the Immortal Qi from the ancient era had been preserved.
It was no wonder that the Chaos Temple was known as the oldest and most powerful force in the Central Region. Whether it was in terms of background or power, it was much more powerful than the nine Sacred Talisman Families.
"There are a total of 653 palaces in the inner hall of the Chaos Temple. These palaces were all found by the previous Divine Masters from the depths of the Six Perilous Lands. They were then moved here and formed the inner hall. The restrictions inside are much more powerful than those outside. They were the palaces of the ancient Almighties," said the old man with a faint smile.
Zhuowen nodded. The restrictions inside the inner hall were indeed much more powerful than those outside. There were many routes that Zhuowen couldn't figure out. He could only follow the old man closely and walk on the correct path.
He knew very well that if he took a wrong step in the inner hall, he would immediately trigger a powerful and terrifying ancient restriction. The consequences would be extremely serious.
Moreover, Zhuowen also discovered that the 653 palaces in the inner hall were all Immortal Sacred Weapons. Although most of them were Earth Immortal Sacred Weapons, as he went deeper, he even saw palaces that were Celestial Sacred Weapons.
When they reached the deepest part, there was an extremely majestic palace. Below the palace, there was a huge beast with a straight back and a hunched back, carrying the palace on its back.
"A True Immortal Sacred Weapon?"
Seeing the magnificent palace, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but exclaim softly.
The aura that the palace revealed was too magnificent. It made Zhuowen feel as if he was facing the Black Dragon Palace. Moreover, this palace was not like Zhuowen's palace. Due to the limitation of his strength, he couldn't unleash the full power of the Black Dragon Palace.
This palace completely revealed the aura of a True Immortal Sacred Weapon. The aura was extremely ancient and vicissitudes of life.
It was precisely because the aura of the hall was too terrifying that the giant beast carrying the hall was unable to stand up. It could only remain in a half-squatting position with its spine bent, quietly carrying the magnificent hall.
Moreover, the huge beast that was pressed down by the palace had an extremely vast aura. If Zhuowen was not wrong, this huge beast's strength was probably not weaker than a Celestial Immortal.
Roar!
The moment the old man and Zhuowen approached, the huge beast suddenly opened its eyes. A bloodthirsty and terrifying light burst out from the huge beast's eyes. Then, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the huge beast's mouth. Terrifying sound waves swept over, causing Zhuowen to involuntarily take a few steps back.
Fortunately, the old man was prepared. With a wave of his sleeve, he blocked the terrifying sound waves. Zhuowen didn't make a fool of himself.
"There's a guest. Don't make a scene!"
The elder coldly snorted, before retrieving a large number of scarlet fruits from his Spirit Ring. These fruits gave off a red fragrance. Zhuo Wen gently inhaled, before a strange expression appeared on his face as he said, "Immortal Desire Fruit?"
Zhuowen naturally knew about the Celestial Desire Fruit. It was a very rare elixir in the Central Plains.
Although the Celestial Desire Fruit was extremely rare, its grade wasn't high and its value wasn't high. In fact, in many people's eyes, the Celestial Desire Fruit was an extremely obscure term.
This was because the Celestial Desire Fruit had the effect of causing hallucinations and excitement. If one consumed the Celestial Desire Fruit, one would become extremely excited.
The reason why the Celestial Desire Fruit was so obscure in the eyes of many people was because it was the main ingredient in making many aphrodisiacs. Therefore, when the Celestial Desire Fruit was mentioned, this was the first thing that came to Zhuowen's mind.
However, he didn't expect that this huge beast would actually like to eat something like the Celestial Desire Fruit. This made Zhuowen reveal a strange expression.
Roar!
The huge beast fiercely roared and immediately opened its bloody mouth. It directly swallowed the large number of Celestial Desire Fruits. After chewing a few times, it let out a satisfied roar. Then, the huge beast lowered its body and no longer obstructed the old man and Zhuowen.
"This is?" Zhuowen asked in surprise.
"This beast is the mount of the Divine Master. Its name is Tao Tie and it has the bloodline of the ancient fierce beast Tao Tie. This fellow is extremely gluttonous and almost eats everything. However, the only thing that can truly satisfy it is the Celestial Desire Fruit. If you want to enter the Central Divine Palace, you have to feed it Celestial Desire Fruit." The old man smiled bitterly.
"Little friend Zhuowen, that lord only summoned you. Therefore, I can only escort you here!" The old man said in a straightforward manner.
Zhuowen glanced at the palace on the back of the huge beast and immediately turned to the old man. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for leading the way, elder!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Little friend Zhuowen is too polite. Since you were summoned to the Central Divine Palace, it is clear that the lord values you. This old man can see that you are not an ordinary person. In the future, I am afraid that we will have to rely on you in the Central Divine Palace."
With that, the old man cupped his fists and took his leave.
Zhuo Wen glanced at the huge beast in front of the Great Hall. Immediately, he cautiously rushed towards the door of the Great Hall. At this moment, the door of the Great Hall slowly opened. Two graceful female servants wearing light veils walked out from within.
"Are you Lord Zhuowen?" The two maids bowed and asked.
"Yes!" Zhuowen said.
"The Divine Master is in the depths of the palace. Please follow us!"
After they finished speaking, the two maids slowly led the way. Moreover, it was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but when the two maids led the way, they actually intentionally or unintentionally revealed their pure white jade legs under their muslin skirts. Moreover, their walking posture was also filled with enchanting and charm.
Zhuowen glanced at them indifferently and did not look at them for long. He just followed them silently.
The two maids also noticed Zhuowen's expression from the corner of their eyes and their faces became gloomy.
Although the maids had good cultivation and could be considered as strong experts in the Central Region, after entering the Chaotic Divine Palace, they were extremely mediocre and could only be maids.
They knew very well that if they wanted to change their fate, it was impossible to do so by themselves. They had to climb up the social ladder.
Their faintly discernible actions just now were actually a kind of hint. As long as Zhuo Wen slightly transmitted a message, these two maids were completely willing to become Zhuo Wen's cauldrons and subordinates after the matter.
Unfortunately, Zhuowen did not have such thoughts. Instead, he pondered about the Divine Master that the two maids had mentioned.
Without a doubt, the Divine Master should be the middle-aged man who had interacted with him in the Shattered Skull Abyss because the old Celestial Saint Master had addressed the middle-aged man as the Divine Master.
"The envoy didn't say that the Divine Master wanted to see me. Instead, he said that some great person wanted to see me. Could the great person that the envoy mentioned be the Divine Master?" Zhuowen thought.
Before long, the two maids led Zhuowen to an extremely large hall. Afterward, the two maids bowed and left the hall. Before they left, the two of them even gave a few more hints. Unfortunately, Zhuowen did not pay any attention to them.
Zhuowen stared at the hall. His gaze quickly fell on a figure in the centre of the hall.
The figure was extremely broad and dignified. Just by standing there, he gave off an invisible pressure. Zhuowen's breathing quickened and his heartbeat quickened.
The figure slowly turned around, revealing an extremely resolute face. He glanced at Zhuo Wen and said with a smile, "Young friend, we meet again!"
"Greetings to the Divine Master. May I ask why the Divine Master has summoned me?" Zhuowen clasped his hands together and asked politely.
The middle-aged man before him was the middle-aged man that Zhuowen had met in the Shattered Skull Abyss. He was also the Divine Master of the Chaotic Divine Palace.
