Chapter 700: The secret behind the Kings Palace (1/2)

''The King's Palace?'' Shun Long was somewhat surprised when he heard this, before a surge of interest sprouted in his heart.

He would actually be lying if he said that he wasn't interested in this 'King's Palace'.

He had already heard that the Holy sect would take 10 peak rank 9 Nascent Soul stage outer disciples when the palace opened, and those disciples would have a very high chance of breaking through to the Dao King realm inside the palace.

The Grand Elder nodded his head when he saw Shun Long's reaction before he continued

''Of course, you should try to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before the King's Palace opens a year from now, or it would be pointless for you to go there.''

Shun Long fell silent when he heard this as he pondered seriously over whether he could really reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in a year.

Although he was already at the middle of rank 7 in the Nascent Soul, and a year in the outside world would mean that 10 years would have gone by if he cultivated inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Shun Long knew by now how tough it was to progress in the late stages of the Nascent Soul.

The qi that his qi balls needed was increasing even more than before, and every subsequent ball of qi that Shun Long created was even harder to enter inside his 'Monarch's Hourglass'.

Additionally, Shun Long knew that he would also have to purify all 81 balls of qi after he reached the peak of rank 9 in the Nascent Soul.

The quality of his soul would also need to reach the absolute peak of the Nascent Soul stage by then.

At this point, Shun Long wasn't completely certain if he could reach the peak of the Nascent Soul within a year.

After taking a deep breath, Shun Long looked at the Grand Elder and asked

''Senior, what exactly is the King's Palace?''

Curious expressions appeared on Liu Mei's and the other's faces as they looked at the Grand Elder as well.

The Grand Elder had a solemn look on his face as he looked at Shun Long and answered seriously

''This is actually a secret that only Sovereign realm experts are privy to, but I guess there is not much harm in telling you. The King's Palace was actually the abode of a powerful peak expert in the past.

That expert had even surpassed the Sovereign realm and was one of the absolute top experts in the entire central region.

He was rumored to be an extreme genius who had even comprehended a supreme Dao, while his strength was unmatched!

Single-handedly, that expert could dominate even the most ancient and powerful clans like the Bai clan and the others, while even the strongest powers in the entire central region wouldn't dare to offend him.

That person could even be considered one of the strongest experts in the history of our entire Cultivation world, and he was only a step away from breaking through and becoming a true immortal!''

The Grand Elder's eyes seemed to have turned extremely deep and profound as he stared at Shun Long, before he continued

However, the Heavens are always fair, and the more powerful and talented a person is, the more difficult a tribulation he would have to face to become a true immortal and possess an unlimited lifespan.
