1361 Supreme Pill Recipe (1/2)
The tens of thousands of kilometers sea area looked calm and peaceful—no shadow nor ghosts could be seen. However, Tang Xiu and Star Tears still kept their vigilance and were very cautious. They didn't rush out from the edge of the forested mountain but kept their auras restrained and conversed in whispers while gazing at the sea.
Quickly after, four figures appeared on the coastline, and one of them was a rickety old man with a cane that radiated a thick death qi—a sign that he was at the end of his lifespan. The three others beside him, aside from a silver-haired old lady, were two young men.
”Dala?”
Tang Xiu and Star Tears exchanged glances and looked surprised. They both knew who the old man was. Dala was a Supreme Elder of the Mandala Sect and he was 16,000 years old—much older than Star Tears.
About 8,000+ years ago, the old man had broken through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage, yet he had not been able to advance to the Supremacy Stage 8 millenniums later.
Star Tears whispered, ”Dala is close to his limit, and the opening of the Secret Palace with Drunken Immortal Supreme's inheritance is very likely his last chance. If he can obtain such a chance that will help him breakthrough here, his lifespan will double. But if he fails, I'm afraid it won't take many years before he dies and enters the six paths of reincarnation to start a new journey in life.”
”He's already a dying lamp, but he can say farewell to his former identity and memory once he enters Samsara.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, ”Unless a Supreme is willing to damage his millennium of cultivation to help him enter the six paths of reincarnation in a lower plane, only then will he be able to retain some bits of his memory.”
”Sigh, there are only a few Supremes in the Immortal World now, with each and every one of them maintaining their life force and energy in the hopes to cross the tribulation and ascend to Godhood.” Star Tears sighed. ”Who would be willing to lose millenniums of cultivation to help him for free?”
Star Tears and Tang Xiu helplessly watched the Dala's group of four as they flew above the sea and then disappeared from their sight.
Tang Xiu's eyes gleamed aa he stared at the sea for 15 minutes before he spoke all of a sudden, ”I may have already learned a lot about this Secret Palace, but this is my first time here, so I have yet to comprehend the situation carefully. It seems that I'll find a new formation array if I enter the sea. Let's set off and dive in. We may be able to see another scene after we enter.”
”Got it!” Star Tears nodded slowly.
As the duo appeared on the coastline, Tang Xiu used his spiritual sense to spread toward the front. In nearly the blink of an eye, he grabbed Star Tears' hand and quickly passed through an energy shield. Afterward, another world presented itself before them appeared out of nowhere.
It was still a calm sea, yet countless lightning bolts struck down from the sky from time to time, with each bolt causing ripples on the sea surface.
There were nine long bridges above the sea surface, however. Each was 100 meters wide and extended toward the bottom of the deep sea. The long ladder-shaped bridge extended upward. Even with their eyesight, Tang Xiu and Star Tears were unable to see the end of these long bridges. It seemed like these long nine bridges had extended to the distant horizon that reached the heavens.
Thousands of Golden Immortals and Perfected Golden Immortals had come and stood still at the end of the bridgehead. They also saw the backs of roughly 900 Golden Immortals and Perfected Golden Immortals on the long bridge as they advanced forward step by step.
”It's a Domain Bridge.”
Tang Xiu sighed as he saw such a scene. From the content of the entire formation array that made this space, he was fully aware of the whole situation. He knew that this was a test, precisely the second test one had to pass to obtain the inheritance. If one could cross this Domain Bridge, that person would then have the opportunity to enter the floating island and enter the Drunken Immortal Palace.
”Let's head there!”
Tang Xiu touched Star Tears' arm and then silently came to a spot near Dala. Although he realized that three people around the old man were showing their vigilance towards him, he directly ignored them and intentionally put on a curious look, asking with a smile, ”Elderly Senior, may I ask about the situation here? We're kind of bewildered after entering. Why is everyone gathered here? Also, how come some people are walking slowly on the bridge and not just flying directly?”
Dala turned to look at Tang Xiu with a surprised look. However, the gentle old man didn't scold Tang Xiu for asking and explained with a smiling face instead, ”This is a space to test one's potential. There are a total of 90,000 tokens in the whole Secret Palace and anyone who gets it can find it. At the end of this bridge is the place where the Drunken Immortal Palace is located. Only by passing this space of potential test will one be able to reach the Drunken Immortal Palace and obtain Drunken Immortal Supreme's inheritance.
Tang Xiu intentionally looked surprised. ”The inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme is here? Then, those other places…”
”Those other places are naturally the first test left by Drunken Immortal Supreme,” said Dala with a smile. ”Only after you survive in other places can you find the token and then come here. However, this young friend is really good. You unexpectedly reached this place accidentally without the token's direction. Maybe Young Friend can obtain a big fortuitous encounter here!”
”Surely you jest, Elderly Senior,” said Tang Xiu modestly. ”I just came in to join the fun. Besides, I'm only here for treasure hunting and making a little fortune. I don't look forward to getting the legacy of Drunken Immortal Supreme.”
Dala looked a bit surprised. He had been passing the years for far too long and he was able to distinguish whether someone was telling the truth or not. However, the young man before him was absolutely indifferent to this matter, and it did come from his heart. It was something he never expected, so he carefully observed Tang Xiu and asked, ”What's your name, Young Friend?”
