Chapter 251 The Holy King ascends to the Enlightenment Pool!
Can the Holy Land of Dingtian really escape punishment for so blatantly practicing evil arts?
They even allow the Holy Son and Holy Daughter to enter the Dao Palace!?
This is not fair to them either!
"Yes, I have tried my best, but as I told you before, they are indeed invited by people from the Dao Palace, and their power is extremely large. Even I can't control them."
The inspector said helplessly, clearly feeling powerless.
"Let's go, let's enter the Dao Palace first. It's only half a year, you just need to get the resources you're entitled to."
As the inspector spoke, he led Gu Jiancheng and the others through the giant gate.
The moment you cross over, it's as if you've appeared in another hidden world.
"The Holy Dao Palace is actually an independent space, not as large as the Holy Domain, but of a higher level."
"The Dao Palace is divided into inner and outer halls. Except for you, all the juniors who came in this time can only cultivate in the outer hall."
"The inner palace is further divided into four palaces: Tianxuan, Tianshu, Tianheng, and Tianquan. Among them, Tianquan Palace is the strongest. Each of the four palaces has a palace master, and many holy kings serve as palace generals under their command."
"Among them are also junior disciples, and their levels are also different."
"Since you have just entered the inner palace, you can only cultivate in the Tianxuan Palace. The higher your level, the more powerful the palace you can enter to cultivate. However, you only have half a year. It all depends on your fate."
After saying this, the inspector first sent everyone else to the outer hall, and then took Gu Jiancheng alone to the Tianxuan Hall.
Tianxuan Palace is a white jade palace standing above the clouds, but many caves also float around the palace.
Gu Jiancheng's divine eyes swept across the cave and found that although there were many young people in the cave, their cultivation levels were almost all above the Saint Realm.
There are quite a few at the Saint King realm among them.
In other words, the disciples who can cultivate here must at least have the cultivation level of a Saint!
Moreover, this is only the Tianxuan Palace. Behind the Tianxuan Palace, three more magnificent and splendid palaces can be faintly seen, which means that the younger disciples in those three palaces have stronger cultivation!
No wonder the inspector said that within this palace, even Saint Kings are just ordinary.
Among the younger generation, those from the Saint Realm are everywhere!
Such competitive pressure is still considerable.
Immediately afterwards, the inspector Gu Jiancheng found a cave dwelling outside the palace as his future place of cultivation.
"By the way, where are you cultivating now, senior?" Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked.
"Me!? Heh, what a coincidence, right here in Tianxuan Palace, ranked seventeenth among the forty-nine palace generals, not worth mentioning!"
The inspector chuckled awkwardly.
"Only seventeenth?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow. "Then how many Saint Kings are there in these four palaces in total?"
"Tianxuan Palace has relatively few; the other three palaces combined have approximately three hundred Holy Kings."
"Including the outer hall, the Dao Palace Holy Hall, and those who go out on missions, there are about a thousand in total!" the inspector said after thinking for a moment.
"A thousand Saint Kings? That's far too many!"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, also deeply shocked.
There are only nine Saints in the Holy Domain, but a thousand Saint Kings in this Dao Palace. Wouldn't that mean there are too many Saints to count?
"Haha, you didn't expect that, did you?"
The inspector smiled, then patted Gu Jiancheng on the shoulder and said, "You don't know, the Holy Domain is just one of the areas under the jurisdiction of the Dao Palace. There are dozens of similar areas. Many half-step Saint Kings have come up here, and gradually the number of Saint Kings has also increased."
"Otherwise, the Holy King's Qi would not be insufficient."
"By the way, I'll take you to the Enlightenment Pool. It's a shared cultivation ground for all four of our halls. Even a formal disciple of the Tianxuan Hall has to accumulate a lot of Dao Palace merits to get a spot. Don't waste it."
As the inspector spoke, he swept up Gu Jiancheng and, a moment later, landed beneath the clouds in the center of the four halls.
Here, Gu Jiancheng also saw a clear lake surrounded by mountains.
It's just not very big, so it's probably called a pond.
Moreover, under Gu Jiancheng's divine eyes, he also discovered that this enlightenment was extremely unusual, and the energy of the pool water was terrifyingly advanced.
While not as exaggerated as the aura of a Holy King, it is absolutely comparable to the energy of a Holy Rune.
In other words, if one could cultivate within this Enlightenment Pool, one could likely condense a Saint Seed very quickly and thus advance to the Saint Realm!
No wonder so many people dream of coming to the Dao Palace; it's practically a paradise for cultivation!
However, the Enlightenment Pool is now surrounded by a powerful magic array, making it impossible to see many things within it.
"Alright, we're here. Here's the token. Go inside and you'll find out what's inside."
"But you only have one chance, and only one hour. Good luck!"
The inspector smiled, then turned and left. "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't wait for you. Just go back to Tianxuan Palace after you come out!"
Having said that, the inspector had already left and disappeared.
Gu Jiancheng shook his head. He wondered what the inspector was so busy with, with so many Holy Kings around!
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng arrived at the Enlightenment Pool. There was only one entrance in front of him, and no other cultivators were around.
The entrance was shrouded in mist, obscuring what was inside.
It wasn't until Gu Jiancheng stepped forward that the entrance mist transformed into the figure of a woman.
The figure was hazy, like an illusion.
"Token."
The woman spoke indifferently, without any emotion.
Gu Jiancheng immediately raised his hand and handed over the token.
"pass."
"You have only one hour. When the time is up, you will be driven away."
"Furthermore, the Enlightenment Pool is a very important place. The closer you are to the core, the stronger the pressure. Act according to your ability, or you may lose your life!"
After the woman finished speaking, her figure dissipated into mist once again.
Gu Jiancheng then realized that the woman was merely a spirit that had condensed into the array.
It's quite remarkable that a mere magic array could give rise to sentience.
However, Gu Jiancheng did not take her warning to heart and strode straight into the entrance.
He wanted to see what exactly was in this so-called Enlightenment Pool.
hum!
The next moment, Gu Jiancheng arrived on the surface of the pool.
Just as he had seen before, the energy level of the pool water here was extremely high.
Extremely clear.
But soon, Gu Jiancheng discovered that there seemed to be laws and principles hidden in this pool of water!
Furthermore, under his divine eye, he discovered that these Daoist principles had even transformed into densely packed characters, hidden within the pool water and clouds!
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng finally understood that the true secret of the Enlightenment Pool was that it concealed many inheritances!
However, to obtain these inheritances, one needs to comprehend them and extract and decompose them from the pool of water!
Enlightenment, enlightenment!
That’s what it means!
All the traditions were completely disrupted and filled with them. Without sufficient comprehension and talent, an hour was simply not enough to extricate oneself from them!
Moreover, as Gu Jiancheng continued to delve deeper into the Enlightenment Pool, he discovered that the power of the laws here was becoming stronger.
There was even a pressure emanating from the inheritance, descending like a mountain. Even Gu Jiancheng gradually felt his steps become heavy.
However, Gu Jiancheng also discovered that the inherited text hidden in the pool was becoming increasingly ancient and obscure, even more illusory and insignificant, and elusive.
The deeper you go, the higher the level of inheritance!
However, the difficulty of comprehending it is also increasing exponentially!
But this only made Gu Jiancheng more excited and curious.
Now that he has come to this Enlightenment Pool, he naturally wants to obtain the most top-level inheritance here.
After all, he already possesses many inheritances of no level, and only those inheritances of the Immortal Ascension level are worth his attention.
hum!
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng unleashed the full power of his Burning Heaven Overlord Body and Flying Dragon Transformation, transforming himself into a streak of light that cut through the water's surface and plunged into the depths.
Even though the power of enlightenment descending upon his body was becoming increasingly terrifying, it was still difficult to stop Gu Jiancheng's progress when he unleashed his full power.
In the end, Gu Jiancheng even used a trace of Yin-Yang energy to reach the center of the Enlightenment Pool.
At this moment, the terrifying pressure here was so intense that it had even caused his whole body to tremble.
That oppressive aura was even approaching the Saint King realm!
If it weren't for the protection of Yin and Yang energy, Gu Jiancheng probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
At this moment, the power of the sword realm permeated Gu Jiancheng's body.
Divine Eye immediately activated its power to the limit, looked at the pool water beneath its feet, and separated the inherited ancient text from the water.
In just half an hour, Gu Jiancheng's face began to turn pale.
Even though he possessed Yin and Yang energy, he only dared to use a trace of it. After all, the Supreme Holy Dao Palace was no ordinary place, and he dared not truly rely on Yin and Yang energy to avoid trouble.
Thus, even if he exerted his full strength, it would be difficult for him to withstand the pressure of a Saint King for such a long time.
The energy within his body was being compressed and evaporated at an alarming rate, and Gu Jiancheng could only grit his teeth and persevere.
In the last half-minute, Gu Jiancheng was covered in blood, and his Burning Heaven Overlord Body was cracked with bloody marks.
His energy is about to be completely depleted.
hum!
Fortunately, at the last moment, Gu Jiancheng finally managed to extract the last ancient rune from the Enlightenment Pool!
It worked!
Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed.
hum!
At that moment, two beams of golden and silver light suddenly shot into the sky above the Enlightenment Pool.
A terrifying aura filled the magic array, and it stirred up a huge storm.
Gu Jiancheng was stunned. He didn't understand how comprehending a legacy could bring about such a strange phenomenon!
Moreover, this strange phenomenon seems to be two in number!?
The golden and silver light shone brightly, eventually transforming into a golden dragon and a silver phoenix, circling above the Enlightenment Pool.
Just as Gu Jiancheng was wondering, he focused his gaze and suddenly discovered that a woman was sitting cross-legged in the mist ahead.
Although it was only a silhouette, it was shrouded in radiance. Moreover, the woman was completely naked, and a phoenix totem appeared and moved on her jade-like back.
Gu Jiancheng's pupils dilated in surprise. He hadn't even noticed that there was another person here!
But if this woman has attained enlightenment, why did she have to take off her clothes?!
Gu Jiancheng quickly averted his gaze and turned to leave.
"Do not look at what is improper." Even if he did not do it on purpose, if he were discovered, it would be difficult to explain himself.
He didn't even have time to see what kind of inheritance he had received...
