Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 518: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace
"Fourteen types of Grand Daos?"
Fang Hong smiled upon hearing Heavenly Venerable Long Wei’s words, feeling even more confident.
Only fourteen types of Grand Daos? He was even cultivating seventeen types of Grand Daos simultaneously.
"No need to worry. If he dares not to hand over the innate dao artifact, watch me tear down his Heavenly Palace."
"Master’s Immortal power is boundless; I have absolute confidence in Master!" Long Wei said with a smile.
Although Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng was strong, the pressure Fang Hong gave him was even stronger.
He really wanted to witness the battle between these two Great Heavenly Venerates!
"Let’s go!"
Fang Hong took Long Wei and Feng Ming and teleported directly to "Ancient Buddha Mountain."
Ancient Buddha Mountain was precisely Buddha Shi De’s cultivation Immortal Cave. The entire mountain was enveloped in a layer of golden light, looking extraordinary in its Aura.
"Void Teleportation!"
"The void ring! Master actually subdued this Supreme treasure!"
"Now, Luo Sheng is even less of a match for Master," Long Wei said in shock.
The void ring was the second-ranked innate dao artifact. By mastering the Great Dao of Space, one would be invincible.
"Strange? Buddha Shi De doesn’t seem to be at Ancient Buddha Mountain," Feng Ming said in confusion.
Fang Hong nodded. He also sensed that Buddha Shi De was indeed not on the Ancient Buddha Continent. Could he have gone somewhere to gain experience?
Then, Fang Hong directly caught a Protector Arhat near Ancient Buddha Mountain and read his memories.
Only then did he learn that Buddha Shi De had led a group of disciples to the Heavenly Palace to participate in the Martial Arts Assembly.
"Buddha Shi De went to the Heavenly Palace? Master, shall we charge straight to the Heavenly Palace?" Feng Ming asked.
"What is the Martial Arts Assembly? Do you know anything about it?" Fang Hong looked at Long Wei.
"Master, the Martial Arts Assembly is a Dao Discussion Assembly held by the Heavenly Palace every five hundred years. Only Immortal Emperors can participate in this assembly."
"If one can stand out in the assembly, they can receive a Dao Fruit personally bestowed by Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng, thereby advancing to Immortal Emperor."
"Therefore, every Martial Arts Assembly attracts a large number of Cultivators to compete, as well as many spectators. It’s incredibly lively," Long Wei explained.
"I see. Then let’s head straight to the Heavenly Palace and deal with both Buddha Shi De and Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng together," Fang Hong said with a smile.
Long Wei and Feng Ming exchanged glances, their expressions shocked. Master was going to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace!
Then, Fang Hong activated the void ring and took Long Wei and Feng Ming away from Ancient Buddha Mountain... All Beings Continent, Central Province, Ancient Luo Zun City.
This was the source of the Immortal veins for the entire Immortal Realm, the Immortal land with the densest Immortal Qi. The strongest power in the Immortal Realm, the "Heavenly Palace," was located here.
Looking at the Heavenly Palace from afar, countless palaces and tall buildings stood between heaven and earth, magnificent and endless, with Immortal clouds drifting and golden light radiating for ten thousand feet.
heavenly soldiers and generals rode various flying Immortal Artifacts, patrolling above the ancient city in perfect order.
Today, the once-in-five-hundred-years grand event was about to begin. Deities from all paths rushed to the "Martial Combat Palace" to observe the ceremony.
The Martial Combat Palace was located in the northwest corner of the ancient city. There was a super massive Martial Arena there, enough to accommodate over a hundred million people without any problem.
At this time, the steps around the Martial Arena were already filled with various deities, and a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals were maintaining order around the perimeter.
In the middle of the Martial Arena, there were many arenas, and a large number of Immortal Emperors had already gathered in the competition area.
These Immortal Emperors came from various provinces, families, and were Loose Immortals.
Even Cultivators from overseas immortal islands wanted to perform well in the Martial Arts Assembly and compete for the Dao Fruit.
If they were lucky, they might even be recruited into the Heavenly Palace to secure an Elder position, soaring to success and bringing honor to their ancestors.
On the high platform of the Martial Arena, rows of dignitaries were seated; they were the Immortal Emperors of the Heavenly Palace and various provinces.
Su Shan and Qing Ying were also among them. Representing the Qingyun Dao Lineage, they had brought the Genius Elders of their sect to participate in the Martial Arts Assembly.
Over the years, Su Shan and Qing Ying had also advanced to the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, becoming Grand Elders of the Dao Lineage.
On the high platform, there were also various Bodhisattvas and high monks from the Ancient Buddha Continent.
Among them, an ancient monk wearing a yellow robe, with a square face, large ears, and a kind countenance, sat cross-legged on a golden lotus platform. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
His position was relatively close to the center of the high platform. This person was the famous Buddha Shi De of the Heavenly Realm.
In the very center next to Buddha Shi De, there was also a golden seat.
This seat belonged to the Supreme of the Heavenly Realm, Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng.
At this moment, a golden light descended from the sky and landed in the very center of the high platform.
After the light dissipated, a young man in yellow robes appeared in the sight of the Immortals.
The young man in yellow robes wore a golden crown, was tall, handsome, and had deep eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.
As soon as the Immortals present saw the young man in yellow robes, they all stood up and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerate!"
The young man in yellow robes was indeed the master of the Heavenly Palace, Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng, the strongest expert in the Immortal Realm.
His appearance led all beings to worship, and countless Immortal maidens cheered and admired him.
Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng was not only the strongest Heavenly Venerate in the Immortal Realm but also the number one handsome man, the dream lover of countless Immortal maidens.
Luo Sheng raised his hand, and all beings instantly fell silent.
"The Martial Arts Assembly begins now."
Great Heavenly Venerate Luo Sheng spoke briefly, then sat on the golden chair and exchanged some pleasantries with Buddha Shi De beside him.
However, not long after Luo Sheng finished speaking, a spatial rift suddenly appeared out of thin air above the Martial Arena.
This spatial rift appeared so suddenly that it instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Three figures slowly walked out of the spatial rift; they were Fang Hong, Long Wei, and Feng Ming.
"Aren’t those Heavenly Venerable Long Wei and Heavenly Venerate Feng Ming? Who is the person in the middle?"
Some old Immortals recognized Heavenly Venerable Long Wei and Heavenly Venerate Feng Ming; after all, both had visited the Heavenly Palace before.
"The atmosphere is a bit off. Could Heavenly Venerable Long Wei and Heavenly Venerate Feng Ming be here to cause trouble?"
"Impossible, right? This is the Heavenly Palace, with the Great Heavenly Venerate presiding. How could they be so bold!"
The Immortals discussed animatedly, and the Martial Arts Assembly was forced to stop. Those Immortal Emperors quickly retreated to the edges.
On the high platform, Su Shan’s beautiful eyes widened instantly upon seeing Fang Hong, and Qing Ying beside her was the same!
"Is my husband here to cause trouble?"
"After many years, just how strong has my husband become? To think he could have the two Supremes of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans following him!"
While Su Shan was shocked, she also felt a hidden worry in her heart.
This was the Heavenly Palace. If Fang Hong came to cause trouble, would he be in danger?
"Heavenly Venerable Long Wei, Heavenly Venerate Feng Ming, are you here to observe the ceremony? And who is the Fellow Daoist beside you?"
Luo Sheng looked at the three of them and asked plainly, remaining calm from beginning to end.
Long Wei and Feng Ming did not reply; Fang Hong flew forward and responded:
"My name is Fang Hong. I have come to the Heavenly Palace today to borrow the innate dao artifacts of Buddha Shi De and the Great Heavenly Venerate."
As soon as Fang Hong said this, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence. The expressions of the Immortals were extremely strange; he really was here to cause trouble!
Hearing this, Buddha Shi De’s brow furrowed slightly.
"The innate dao artifacts cannot be borrowed," Luo Sheng responded calmly.
