Ancestor Above

Just from the name alone, one could tell that it was a very impressive place.

And that was indeed the case.

Lu Qing had heard of the Penglai Celestial Palace in the past. Its true form was in the clouds above the eastern sea and would only appear once every hundred years.

It was said that this was the residence that the ancient immortal,’white sword immortal’, had built for himself after reaching the peak.

Of course, white sword immortal had long disappeared. No one knew if he had died or what. However, his immortal Palace still existed, and it would appear on the clouds in a fixed location in the depths of the East China Sea every hundred years.

After people discovered it, many nearby high-level cultivators who were convenient to go to explore it. But so far, no one had been able to open the Penglai divine Palace.

It had been such a long history, so if it couldn’t be opened, then it really couldn’t be opened.

The Penglai divine Palace mentioned in li Chengzong’s letter was the reflection of the divine Palace.

The real Penglai divine Palace couldn’t be opened, but every time it appeared, its shadow would be reflected on the sea surface, allowing entry.

In the reflection of the immortal Palace, it looked like the real Penglai immortal Palace. There were some illusory guards inside, but they also looked like real people, as if the people who had once lived in the immortal Palace were still alive.

However, this reflection of the celestial Palace was very similar to the White sword immortal, who was said to be very unbridled and free in the legends. It was an interesting trial left for the future generations.

Experts who were too strong could not enter. This immortal Palace’s reflection could only allow those below the foundation establishment stage to enter.

This was more like a trial for the younger generation.

However, because there were many benefits inside, and it was basically concentrated on the cultivators who entered, when the major forces chose people to enter, they usually chose those who were ninth-tier foundation building cultivators and relatively young. In this way, on one hand, stronger cultivators could enter, and with their strength, they could pass through more barriers. On the other hand, these cultivators themselves were also very valuable to cultivate.

In the past, as long as these two hundred people from the two countries could walk to the end and enter the core area, then they could usually obtain great benefits and quickly break through to the initial enlightenment stage. They were also outstanding among their peers at the initial enlightenment stage, and most of them could even smoothly enter the Jindan stage.

Even if they didn’t enter the core area and just explored the periphery of the reflection of the fairy Palace, they would usually have a lot of gains, which would have a lot of improvement for their future cultivation.

However, the number of people who could enter the reflection in the fairy Palace every year was very limited. The quota was set at 200 people. Moreover, the Penglai immortal Palace only opened its doors to the public once every hundred years in the sky above the deep ocean east of Pingzhou. Apart from Great Yan, there were also great Qi in the South who could go there.

Each time, the two empires would divide the spots equally. Yunxiao sect took more than half of the spots on Great Yan’s side, leaving very little for the others.

The Imperial court would take a portion of the remaining 40 or so spots, and the imperial family would also need them. Some of the officials who had been promoted in the Imperial court and some military officials who were being nurtured with more emphasis would also need these spots.

Other sects, like the tianzong sect in Pingzhou, would also take up a portion. After all, they were actually the closest to the immortal Palace, and the size of this tianzong sect was actually about the same as the Qingfeng sect, or even slightly larger.

This way, the number of spots that could be distributed to the other forces in the end was already very few.

In the last hundred years, the Qingfeng sect only had one spot in their records. Of the four great families in Yan city, three of them had two spots, while the last one had three spots.

This year, because of their outstanding performance in the Battle of the North barren forest, as well as the support of crown prince Li Chengzong in the Imperial court, the Feiyun state had two spots.

And now, the Zhao clan’s probing of the Feiyun state had unexpectedly caused an intense reaction from the Crown Prince, li Chengzong.

He pursued this matter in the Imperial court and even dragged Yunxiao sect into it.

His methods were quite ingenious, using the Zhao clan’s interference in the sect’s Affairs as an excuse to attack them. And this was exactly what Yunxiao sect hated.

After Yunxiao sect spoke, Zhao Shi was rather dejected.

They might not have expected that a casual move would actually cause such a huge reaction from the Crown Prince.

Indeed, through this operation, they had found out that the Crown Prince cared a lot about the Qingfeng sect in the Feiyun state.

It’s just a relative price.

It all depended on one’s opinion.

......

Of course, the Qingfeng sect had to participate in this operation.

In fact, Lu Qing already had an idea about the two people who would go.

Lu Wenen and Lu Weiwen.

In these ten years, the two of them had both reached the ninth level of the foundation building realm and polished their realms well. They could break through to the initial enlightenment realm at any time.

In fact, their original plan was to break through in these two years.

And he was very confident.

However, since there was such an opportunity at the moment, it was definitely better not to break through first. While he could still meet the condition of not exceeding the foundation establishment, he could enter the reflection plane of the immortal Palace to explore. Perhaps there would be additional benefits?

Regardless of whether it was in the state of Qi or the great Yan, as long as a major power had the ability to obtain a spot, they would begin to deliberately train a new generation of cultivators a few decades before the opening of the immortal Palace. They would even force these geniuses to suppress their cultivation base and stop at the ninth-tier of the foundation building realm, so that they could get a better harvest in the reflection of the immortal Palace.

After their names were reported, they received some dissatisfaction from the sect.

It’s normal. It’s such a good opportunity, and the Lu family just opened their mouth and wanted two to leave?

However, what was the use of being dissatisfied?

It was not appropriate for the Lu clan to say it directly. However, through the cultivators of the Lu clan, they still released a piece of news. Whoever is unconvinced can come and try.

Then, there would really be some ignorant people who would try.

Try it and you’ll die.

Of course, they would not die. At most, a few of them would come and be taken care of by Wenen and Weiwen.

All the battles were fair and square on the sect’s arena. There was nothing to say about that. They had to be convinced.

As for the third spot, Yingying gave it to a cultivator with the surname hai.

That must be the hai family.

This guy was considered lucky.

He might not be able to stand up to suspicion. After all, this person was only the youngest ninth-tier foundation building cultivator that the hai clan could bring out, but he was already seventy years old. Whether it was in terms of talent or combat strength, this person could not be compared to the two geniuses from the Lu clan. If the two of them hadn’t defeated the foundation establishment cultivators of the sect and made them lose their courage, the hai clan might really have been defeated if they had accepted the challenge.
