Chapter 894
The Traitors of the Eight Immortal Palaces
"Zhuge Boqi, after all these years, you don't look as healthy as you used to be."
Sima Jiba looked at Zhuge Boqi with a slightly cold gaze; even a Golden Immortal realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand that look.
Zhuge Boqi remained calm and composed, his eyes like two still pools of water, quietly watching Sima Jiba.
"Old monster Sima, there's no need for so much verbal sparring. It's pointless. Since you're going to use this last chance, then I naturally have no reason to refuse you. Let's go together."
Zhuge Boqi's indifference greatly displeased Sima Jiba, but he perfectly concealed his displeasure.
"Hehe, the reason I came to the Eight Immortal Palaces this time is to catch up with you, my old friend, and also to show you the progress our Nine Heavens Immortal Palaces have made over the past ten thousand years."
Sima Jiba stroked his gray-white beard with a chuckle, but despite his smile, he gave off an extremely gloomy feeling.
Lin Xuan watched the Immortal Emperors confronting each other in the sky with solemnity. Even Lin Xuan was not qualified to participate in a battle of this level.
Even if Lin Xuan uses all his skills, he can only contend with low-level Immortal Kings at best. He is no match for high-level Immortal Kings, let alone the even stronger Immortal Emperors.
"Please take a seat!"
Zhuge Boqi casually waved his hand, and the Eight Immortal Towers suddenly rose from the ground, floating directly in the air, emitting a milky white light that carried a refreshing aura.
"This is!"
At this moment, Lin Xuan's appetite was whetted, and he felt as if he wanted to swallow all that milky white light whole.
"This is the light of destiny, a sign that can only appear when destiny reaches a certain level. The Eight Immortal Towers are top-tier innate destiny treasures. In terms of combat ability alone, they may not be as good as the Heavenly Sword in your hand, but their greatest function is to suppress destiny, gather destiny, and strengthen destiny. This is the most powerful function of destiny treasures, and the direct reason why those super powers and super clans are so eager to acquire them!"
Li Qingyue stood beside Lin Xuan and gave him a detailed introduction, her words tinged with pride.
The Eight Immortal Towers are the core foundation of the Eight Immortal Palaces. If the Eight Immortal Towers are lost, the fortune of the Eight Immortal Palaces will be directly cut in half!
Sima Jiba looked at the bright white aura of fortune, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily. It was extremely difficult for a second-tier power in the immortal realm like theirs to possess such a divine artifact of fortune.
The reason why the Eight Immortal Palaces were able to defend the Eight Immortal Towers as a second-tier power was mainly because the Eight Immortal Venerables turned the tide and defended a major battlefield for the Immortal Realm, holding back a major force of the Evil Clan.
As one of the heroes of the Immortal Realm, he died fighting for the Immortal Realm. Although many powerful forces and figures in the Immortal Realm coveted the Eight Immortal Towers of the Eight Immortal Palaces, none of them made a move to seize them.
"To see such a pagoda again, in real life, is truly a feast for the eyes!"
Sima Jiba felt his heart begin to stir with excitement.
The Qi Luck Treasure not only suppresses the Qi of a sect or family, but also has a great effect on individuals. When a person is lucky, they can find gold while walking and even find money in the water they drink.
The same principle applies to cultivators. Those with great fortune can survive a fall off a cliff and even receive blessings, turning danger into safety every time they encounter difficulties. This situation is extremely attractive to any cultivator.
"If we could move this tower back to our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, the development speed of our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would probably increase by dozens of times!"
Master Yi spoke without any hesitation.
The Fourth Palace Master, Long Yuan, stared intently at Master Yi, and the other leaders who followed also glared at him with hostility.
Despite being stared at by several powerful Immortal Emperors, Master Yi shamelessly smiled disdainfully. His gaze towards the Eight Immortal Towers was filled with undisguised fervor.
As for Hua Wulian, he didn't even glance at the Eight Immortal Towers that exuded a rich aura of fortune. Instead, he looked around, trying to find someone.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's begin our ascent of the tower. Old Monster Sima, this time, those who ascend the tower cannot exceed the threshold of the Nine Tribulations Golden Immortal."
Zhuge Boqi looked at Sima Jiba and said calmly, "Hehe, of course I know this rule. This time, it's not unreasonable for us to have 500 people participating."
Sima Jiba raised his right index finger and smiled faintly.
Zhuge Boqi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Sima Jiba, trying to figure out what Sima Jiba was up to.
"Are you sure? Every time, your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace sends in thousands of participants. Why did you only send five hundred this time?"
Sima Jiba laughed heartily a few times.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge doesn't understand me. As for why I only sent five hundred people, it's because five hundred people are more than enough."
Sima Jiba's arrogance angered the powerful immortal emperors in the Eight Immortal Palaces.
Although the overall strength of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is not much worse than that of the Eight Immortal Palaces, in terms of status in the Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is far inferior to the Eight Immortal Palaces and they are not even on the same level.
But now the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is actually looking down on their Eight Immortal Palaces, how can they tolerate this?
"Then let's open the tower!"
Zhuge Boqi knew very well that Sima Jiba was a petty person who would pluck feathers from a passing goose, and that he was not very magnanimous. How could such a person do such a losing deal?
Therefore, Sima Jiba must have had his own plans.
As soon as the gates of the Eight Immortal Towers opened, an extremely rich aura of fortune immediately wafted out.
The five hundred people sent by the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace this time were all Golden Immortal Realm experts. These were either core disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace or deacons of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, all of whom were the future force of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
As for the Eight Immortal Palaces, many people from the Celestial Immortal Realm also came to climb the tower, since there was no need to check their cultivation level to climb it.
"The tower gate has been opened. Entering the 500th floor will bring substantial rewards. Climbing to the 700th floor will bring even greater rewards. If you can reach the 900th floor, you will become a candidate for the next Palace Master!"
"It's the same old rule, but climbing nine hundred floors is incredibly difficult."
Li Qingyue shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"Master, nine hundred floors, the appearance of an immortal venerable, right?"
Lin Xuan looked at Li Qingyue and said with a smile.
"Yes, once you reach the 900th floor, you'll get a pass to become a Celestial Venerable. If you follow the steps, the position of Celestial Venerable is very likely."
"But over the years, only three people have reached the 900th floor."
"Master, who are the three?" Nangong Qingyi asked curiously.
"The first one has already fallen. His name was Sikong, and he passed away in the battle against the evil race. The second one is our current Palace Master, who is currently breaking through to the Immortal Venerable stage. As for the third one..."
Li Qingyue fell silent for a moment after saying this.
"This third one is named Gu Tongxuan, the junior brother of the Palace Master. He and the Palace Master were once known as the Twin Stars of the Eight Divisions. Their talents and strengths were comparable. However, Gu Tongxuan later betrayed our Eight Divisions Immortal Palace and joined the Evil Clan, becoming their henchman. This is a scandal for our Eight Divisions Immortal Palace. We should try not to mention this matter within the palace."
Li Hongyi suddenly approached and explained to Lin Xuan. (End of Chapter)
