Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1424 The True Immortal Palace Trial

The interplay of light and shadow, like a halo around the eyes, swayed the sea of ​​consciousness.

Jiang Han's blood and qi surged within his body, the law-based thunder dragon roared and roamed, stirring up a torrent of primordial energy. Purple light also swirled within his sea of ​​consciousness. He used his own strength to withstand the intense dizziness and remained conscious.

Only when a white light rapidly magnified before his eyes did the intense dizziness from the long-distance teleportation quickly subside.

The blinding white light quickly faded, and he steadied himself, looking up at the so-called core of the celestial palace.

Before my eyes was a magnificent palace stretching endlessly. The palaces looked very familiar, except that there was an enormous palace gate that reached the sky in front of me.

The palace gates were already open, but looking through them, the palace complex was actually the Immortal Emperor's Palace that he had entered earlier!

He and his senior brother Meng and the others stepped in together, passed through the barrier, and then entered the first level of the monster world.

Who would have thought that after emerging from that trial world, they would still be in this same place.

"This is……"

Jiang Han turned around in confusion and saw the array barrier that enveloped the Immortal Palace behind him. He could even see Wang Qingfeng and the others chasing below through the barrier's light.

Judging from how they were scrambling for it, not much time had obviously passed.

"Was everything I experienced before just an illusion?"

His divine sense swept over the storage ring, where all the immortal treasures he had previously acquired were located, along with the corpses of those demon kings, which lay quietly inside the Sumeru Pearl.

Even the five immortal treasures within his body, including the Demon King's mark on his body, were still there.

Just as he was wondering, the barrier in front of him suddenly rippled, and a figure emerged from it.

After appearing, the person immediately gagged and fell headfirst downwards. However, his eyes quickly lit up with a spiritual light, and he woke up and hurriedly stopped and flew upwards.

Although I have never seen this person before, he exudes a very familiar aura, an ancient aura unique to the second level!

Jiang Han's gaze sharpened, and a utterly absurd guess arose in his mind.

"Could it be that the so-called two-tiered celestial palace is merely a world existing within this defensive barrier?"

He was deeply shaken, once again finding the Immortal Emperor's methods incredible.

To be able to refine an entire world within a thin array barrier—what an extraordinary skill that must be!

"It's you?!"

The newcomer wore a jade crown and a black robe. He appeared to be middle-aged. After regaining his footing, he immediately exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Jiang Han. He hurriedly summoned his magic weapon to protect himself and retreated backward while enduring the dizziness.

'Damn it, how did I end up in the same place as this person?!'

He had seen this person once before in the city. At that time, the other party possessed a magical treasure and was surrounded by a murderous aura. He remained unfazed under the gaze of thousands of greedy eyes, and was even treated with courtesy by the three city lords, who even treated him as an equal.

Although the opponent appears to be only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, judging from his calm demeanor, he is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface.

Perhaps he's just an old monster hiding his true strength and pretending to be young!

He would never dare to make contact with such a powerful person whose identity is unknown, on his own.

Without saying a word, the man kept his eyes on Jiang Han as he retreated. Once he was sure that Jiang Han had no intention of pursuing him, he immediately turned and fled.

His body transformed into a streak of light, drawing a large arc in the distance before rushing into the gates of the celestial palace. In a flash, he vanished without a trace.

Jiang Han watched the man's movements without reacting until he confirmed that the man had safely entered the palace complex, at which point he finally stepped forward.

Now that we have emerged from the trial world, we are likely to encounter the true Immortal Emperor's Palace next.

This place is different from before. Since there are newcomers here, it means that everyone in the city can enter. Later, there will be tens of thousands of cultivators from two other cities, as well as a large number of Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators.

As a result, the competition here will become so fierce that it will reach an unbelievable level.

With tens of thousands of Nascent Soul cultivators and countless demon cultivators, if they were to fight without restraint, it's uncertain how many would survive.

……

The majestic palaces stretched endlessly, filled with celestial plants. Their colorful branches and leaves swayed gently in the wind, scattering specks of spiritual light that diffused with the breeze.

These immortal plants are clearly extraordinary, yet they are all protected by immortal barriers.

The barrier looked ordinary, but even the slightest emanation of its aura sent chills down one's spine, making one dare not touch it in the slightest.

Jiang Han moved and stepped through the huge open palace gate. In a flash, he was teleported to an unfamiliar palace.

Looking up, one sees a plaza covering nearly a hundred miles, paved with a bluish-white jade that radiates a faint spiritual light.

Jiang Han mobilized the Yuan energy within his body, causing ripples to spread in the surrounding space, but these ripples quickly subsided. Even the purple light in his eyes was suppressed by an invisible force, preventing it from being released in large quantities.

"My divine sense is suppressed, and I can only probe within a thousand feet around me. Moreover, there is an anti-air formation, so I cannot fly, and I cannot even use teleportation techniques."

However, these things did not affect him much. Even if he could not fly or teleport, his speed and agility were unmatched, and the other laws were not affected, so his overall strength was not weakened much.

Just then, a clanging sound reached Jiang Han's ears. He glanced to the side and saw seven or eight cultivators gathered together not far away, muttering and squatting on the ground, trying to pry open the jade.

The man on the outermost side held a golden longsword, cursing under his breath that the stone was too hard, while forcefully poking into the crack between the bricks.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Han's gaze, he subconsciously turned his head to look, but after only one glance, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes, his face turned pale, he cried out and quickly closed his eyes, staggering backward.

Clang—

The golden sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clanging sound that echoed far and wide across the empty square.

In an instant, all the discussions ceased, and gazes swept over, all turning to look at Jiang Han.

After recognizing the person, some people immediately exclaimed in unison, clearly recognizing Jiang Han.

A short while later, a young cultivator clad in silver armor stepped out from the crowd, his brows furrowed. His eyes scanned Jiang Han from head to toe, then suddenly his pupils contracted, his breath caught in his throat, and he said nervously:

"Fellow Daoist..."

He paused for a moment, bowed, and then mustered his courage to say, "We have not offended you, so why did you attack my companion?"

Jiang Han put away the magic-breaking golden needles, and also sized up the group. Seeing that they showed no hostility, he returned their greeting and said:

"Sorry, I forgot to turn it off."

The silver-armored cultivator looked surprised and suspicious: "What do you mean you forgot to turn it off? You should at least come up with a better reason for your apology..."

Before he could finish speaking, a young man in white behind him suddenly changed his expression, quickly squeezed out from the crowd, covered his mouth, and gave Jiang Han an embarrassed smile:

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry. Since you didn't mean it, let's just drop the matter. My brother isn't very bright and he's just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

With that, he pushed the silver-armored cultivator into the crowd, ordered the others to gag him, and bowed, saying, "We have other matters to attend to, so we won't bother you any longer. Farewell, farewell."

Before Jiang Han could respond, he quickly turned and left. The others also hurriedly bowed and took their leave, dragging the silver-armored cultivator along as they followed.

Only the cultivator who was initially injured by the golden needles remained standing there, his face full of conflict. He turned to look at the crowd that had quickly run away, then at the long sword that had fallen not far away, wanting to pick it up but not daring to.

In the end, he couldn't bear to part with his precious sword. He carefully stepped forward, picked up the longsword with trembling hands, bowed his head to Jiang Han, and then ran away.
