The Asura Phantom Palace during the Chaos Era wasn't an impressive force. The highest cultivation base within could only rival a second-level Heavenly Genesis cultivator, and this, in comparison to all, was an insignificant cultivation which could only control a sub-realm - a realm within a realm. Despite this, they were considered exceptional enough to keep vivid records of within the Anima Syndicate.
This was because of one reason: The Soul!
The Heavenly Law of Soul rivaled life, death, yin, yang, space, and time. For a force, any force, to be known for their comprehension into a heavenly law at the world-tier makes them anything but ordinary. An example would be the Solitary Sword Sect's comprehension into a Mortal Law of the Sword. With just this, they were considered a top-tier force within the Fallen Stars Continent.
Yan Zaizen was currently outfitted in a tight-fitted, silver-blue martial attire that accentuated his muscular physique. Above it was a thin black robe that gave him a phenomenal appearance. This attire and robe weren't normal clothes, but low-grade sky-rank armaments that he directly received from the Anima Syndicate.
As an Anima Lieutenant, his status within the Anima Syndicate was remarkable. Not only did he receive a monthly stipend, he received sky-rank attire befitting of his soul cultivation, access to key records within the syndicate, special resources and arts.
”So, this could be considered my first mission, huh.” Standing atop a miniature spatial platform, Yan Zaizen said casually. After hearing the news of the Asura Phantom Palace, how could he not be moved enough to take a venture? Not to mention, his mission wasn't to actively take the lead. His mission was essentially being hired as a radar for the various dangers that may occur within the Asura Phantom Palace with his exceptional spiritual sense.
The Asura Phantom Palace may have been eradicated during the Chaos Era, but that didn't mean its sub-realm wasn't filled with dangers and treasures. Because its palace was discovered to be intact, it could hold heaven-defying pills, elixirs, cultivation arts, armaments, methods, heavenly materials to build one's Heavenly Shrine, and more! This was enticing to many cultivators, and a variety of forces were going to be venturing inside in hopes to obtain even a fraction of the Asura Phantom Palace's remnant wealth.
However, how could people willingly search a second-level heavenly-tier force without a guarantee? The Xiantu Emperor himself informed all that the palace held countless unclaimed treasures! However, whether they'll be able to obtain it, that'll be solely based on their own capabilities.
It seemed the Asura Phantom Palace was abandoned, but many of its formations, gardens, halls, and more was left completely untouched. With formations still likely to be active, it made the location quite dangerous. This was a great opportunity for others, but if you looked at sub-realms as a whole, this wasn't uncommon.
During the Chaos Era, many powers locked their sub-realms before departing in all-out war. If they were eradicated, it's unlikely their enemies could discover it by any means. However, on the battlefield, they would be eradicated to every last man, woman, and child.
”You must be cautious.” Old Tai warned, his eyes filled with traces of worry and excitement. The things possibly held in the Asura Phantom Palace may be able to help him progress to the True Essence Realm! This meant twenty thousand years of additional life! Yan Zaizen chuckled softly.
”Don't worry, I'm just there to act as a radar.” Despite saying that, his eyes flickered with an imperceptible greed. He was essentially being hired as a guide via the Anima Syndicate to discover threats with his spiritual sense by an imperial-tier force. Not only did this come with an immediate payment of fifteen billion drops of essence, but he'll receive a percentage of all things obtained. From an observing point of view, this was an exceptionally easy job. Especially since your job is to locate and avoid danger.
However, the things he wants for himself, how could he allow others to simply take it?
A flash of resplendent silver light exploded from beneath him, his body was shrouded in a small silver-formation like a protective egg. Instantly, he vanished into the spatial void.
SHISH!
Old Tai's eyes couldn't help but be filled with hope. Yan Zaizen may look youthful, but he had a Perfect Aurora Soul Cultivation base. Even at the most weakest, this could be considered a mid-True Essence Realm equivalent! In the Xiantu Continent, this may be far more common than in other continents, but that didn't mean it was irrelevant. He believed, with Yan Zaizen's cultivation base, he'll be able to gain much from this exploration of the Asura Phantom Palace.
