Capítulo 1389: Chapter 1363: Formation Prohibitions

Very soon, Tangyu and his party arrived before the South Sea Immortal Palace. On the calm sea surface, resplendent lights stretched across a thousand miles, appearing incredibly spectacular. The lights surged, making the scene over the South Sea tumultuous and intense. Everywhere, waves of magic power seemed to emanate.

As for the South Sea Immortal Palace, it slowly emerged from within the radiance. This South Sea Immortal Palace spanned nearly a hundred miles. Calling it an Immortal Palace, it could easily be compared to a sizable island, with a height of ten thousand feet. The entire palace was constructed from grandiose buildings, majestic as mountains and rivers, leaving anyone who gazed upon it utterly stunned.

It is precisely because of this that the South Sea Immortal Palace is deemed the Immortal Palace, even recognized as an Immortal Artifact by the Mystic Spirit Continent. The South Sea Immortal is also the most widely known Immortal across the continent. Throughout history, he stands alone.

Witnessing the South Sea Immortal Palace firsthand left countless people in awe and utterly dumbfounded. Even Tangyu was somewhat surprised, clicking his tongue and saying, “Indeed a masterpiece, to refine such an Immortal Palace, the methods are extraordinary. The expertise in artifact refining and formations is truly terrifying. This South Sea Immortal should be at the Seeking Immortal stage and should have visited the Cultivation World.”

“This South Sea Immortal Palace was likely refined in the Cultivation World. To claim it as an Immortal Artifact may barely suffice. Its power might even rival the Pangu Axe. Though it’s called an Immortal Artifact, it’s not truly one. Comparing it to the naturally born Immortal Artifacts, it still falls short.”

Of course, Immortal Artifact is just a term used by Cultivation World folks, not meaning these artifacts are truly handed down from the Immortal Realm.

Tuoba Kui couldn’t help but exclaim, “Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Such a vast Immortal Palace is indeed an Immortal Artifact.”

Before long, the entire South Sea Immortal Palace emerged completely from the sea, appearing sacred under the radiant light. The South Sea Immortal Palace appears once every three thousand years, regarded as an opportunity for countless cultivators, sparking fierce contests and incursions even at the cost of life.

Thirty-some Zifu Realm cultivators stood at the front, watching the South Sea Immortal Palace with fervent eyes. There are only twelve South Sea Immortal Orders, marking that a maximum of twelve people could enter the palace seeking their fortune. Others could only look on with envy.

Behind them was an enormous group of four to five thousand Golden Core Realm cultivators spread out widely. Of the twelve South Sea Immortal Orders, only Tangyu and the South Sea Immortal Sect are known to possess them; the rest is unknown. Therefore, some Golden Core Realm cultivators might also carry South Sea Immortal Orders. This is the time of fierce competition.

Anyone daring to rush in first attempting to enter the South Sea Immortal Palace would surely face attacks.

The South Sea Sect Master bore a slightly excited expression, smiling as he spoke to Tangyu, “Tangyu, my friend, let’s go inside first.”

Tangyu nodded. As they were about to enter, no one dared to act recklessly against them. Tangyu had previously slain nearly twenty Zifu Great Powers, causing a shock throughout the entire South Sea. Who would dare provoke Tangyu? As for the South Sea Sect Master, being the foremost strongman of the South Sea, who would dare challenge his authority?

South Sea Sect Master and Tangyu walked towards the South Sea Immortal Palace, drawing everyone’s attention. The presence of orders with the South Sea Sect Master and Tangyu was acceptable to all, but seeing Tuoba Kui also follow them into the palace widened many eyes, sparking a flurry of discussions.

“Isn’t this guy just at Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer? Is entering the South Sea Immortal Palace seeking death?”

“Could Tangyu’s South Sea Immortal Order be given to this Eastern Island cultivator?”

“Impossible, the news I heard was Tangyu gave one South Sea Immortal Order to the South Sea Sect Master with some conditions.”

A Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer cultivator possessing a South Sea Immortal Order had many itching to act. If Tuoba Kui wasn’t beside Tangyu, without a doubt many would attempt to snatch it. For a Golden Core Realm cultivator, even holding a South Sea Immortal Order doesn’t mean easily breaking through to enter the South Sea Immortal Palace.

Many could die here. Those without South Sea Immortal Orders among the Zifu Great Powers were watchfully eyeing those around them. Anyone daring near the palace would be met with determined attacks—better to mistakenly kill a thousand than miss one.

The South Sea Sect Master cast a surprised glance at Tuoba Kui. He hadn’t expected Tuoba Kui to have a South Sea Immortal Order. This scenario made him suspect whether Tangyu might have given Tuoba Kui the order. This possibility was not unlikely. Contemplating this, a sense of admiration for Tangyu’s generosity arose within him.

The party of four entered the South Sea Immortal Palace first, unimpeded with the Immortal Orders in hand. They crossed the energy barrier into the palace.

If seeing the South Sea Immortal Palace from outside was awe-inspiring, entering made them feel as if setting foot in the Immortal Realm. The buildings within were magnificently beautiful and towering, with formation prohibitions everywhere, forming an inseparable whole. The vast South Sea Immortal Palace was indeed a colossal Immortal Artifact.

Any attempt to destroy a building would trigger an attack from the entire palace.

This refining technique would astound even the uninitiated.

Tangyu scanned the surroundings, saying, “There are formations everywhere here; even routine prohibitions shouldn’t be underestimated. If triggering the major ones, even Zifu Great Powers could be blasted. Be cautious, everyone.”

The South Sea Sect Master nodded solemnly at Tangyu’s reminder, his expression becoming grave. He could feel the danger within this place even without Tangyu mentioning it. A wrong step could be very perilous.

Tuoba Kui gripped the Demon-slaying Slash tightly, his gaze cold and his nerves tense as he scanned the surroundings, carefully following closely behind Tangyu. With his abilities, navigating through the South Sea Immortal Palace alone would be incredibly dangerous.

Tangyu led the way in front, and Tuoba Kui along with the South Sea Sect Master followed behind.

As they progressed, Tangyu could easily avoid those formation prohibitions and would not touch them.

“The tests set by the South Sea Immortal are indeed not simple. Such numerous prohibitions make entry exceedingly dangerous for ordinary people. No wonder they say venturing in without Zifu Realm strength is a death wish. It indeed seems to be the case,” Tangyu thought to himself. However, these formation prohibitions posed no danger to him, and he could easily avoid them.

Even if he didn’t avoid them, these formation prohibitions couldn’t possibly harm him.

“There’s a treasure over there,” the taciturn Zifu Great Power of the South Sea Immortal Sect suddenly spotted a treasure placed at a spot and immediately shouted, rushing over quickly.

Tangyu glanced over and shouted, “Don’t touch it, that’s an illusion technique.”

But it was too late. The taciturn man had already touched the treasure, but his hand went through empty air, triggering prohibitions. Streams of terrifying light shot out from all directions, surging towards the taciturn man.

“Danger!” The South Sea Sect Master shouted and rushed over to rescue the taciturn man.

Once triggered, the prohibitions were indeed terrifying. Fortunately, the South Sea Sect Master was powerful enough. He had prepared thoroughly before entering the South Sea Immortal Palace. Even so, he did not escape unscathed. After suppressing the prohibitions, he managed to retreat, though the taciturn man was still injured.

“These prohibitions are truly terrifying, even employing illusions to confuse. I almost got fooled,” the taciturn man said, still feeling a sense of fear. If the South Sea Sect Master hadn’t rescued him in time, he’d be dead or nearly so. He was merely at the First Layer of the Zifu Realm, and each beam of light was enough to threaten him.

Tangyu said, “Don’t casually touch anything here. What appears real may be false and vice versa. Without absolute certainty, don’t make a move lightly.”

The South Sea Sect Master nodded, “What Daoist Tangyu says is indeed correct. We know very little about the South Sea Immortal Palace. It seems the situation here changes every time.”

“As for the immortal fate, it’s up to your own, just be careful. Trials lead to rewards; you each make your own choices,” Tangyu said.

The South Sea Sect Master nodded, “Alright, then Daoist Tangyu, we’ll separate here. I hope you find some gains.”

With that, the South Sea Sect Master and his companion parted ways. It wasn’t that Tangyu was unwilling for them to follow. It was just that immortal fate truly depended on personal luck. Moving together wasn’t always a good idea.

Tuoba Kui looked at Tangyu hesitantly, unsure of what to do. If he ventured out alone, it would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous, and even Tuoba Kui himself had little confidence.

Tangyu, seeing Tuoba Kui’s thoughts, smiled and said, “You don’t have to separate, just follow me. Otherwise, with your strength, without unmatched luck, it would be hard to get out alive.”

“Hehe.” Tuoba Kui chuckled, acknowledging the truth of this; he dared not overestimate himself.

The two continued forward, encountering numerous dangers, but with Tangyu leading the way, they proceeded unhindered.

Finally, their path was blocked by a figure in silver armor.

Tangyu’s eyes subtly widened, “A puppet, a Zifu Realm-level puppet. Unexpectedly, the South Sea Immortal’s expertise is not only deep in formations and artifact refining but also in puppetry. Did the South Sea Immortal refine this puppet himself, or did he purchase it at a high price?”

A Zifu Realm-level puppet is extremely valuable in the cultivation world. However, if a Seeking Immortal realm existence is willing to spend a lot, it can be bought. This made Tangyu speculate. If someone had great expertise in formations, artifact refining, and puppetry, they’d truly be formidable, earning even Tangyu’s admiration.

Does the South Sea Immortal really possess such capabilities?
