Chapter 900
The Great Ambition of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace
Feng Xiu took out a black bead from his storage ring. The bead emitted a strange black light, with white showing through the black.
Everyone was puzzled as to what Feng Xiu wanted to do.
Feng Xiu is currently standing on the 949th floor. Once he reaches this floor, as long as things develop normally, his position as an Immortal Venerable is practically guaranteed.
Feng Xiu took out the black bead and poured a stream of immortal energy into it. Suddenly, an evil power burst out from the black bead.
The Eight Immortal Towers suddenly began to shake.
"Rumble~~"
The Eight Immortal Towers shook violently, causing everyone inside to lose their footing.
One after another, figures rushed out from the Eight Immortal Towers, their eyes filled with malice as they stared at the still swaying towers.
Within a short span of fifteen minutes, everyone except a few people on the 800th floor emerged from the tower.
To receive the baptism of fortune within the Eight Immortal Towers, one needs a stable space and a quiet time.
The violently shaking Eight Immortal Towers were clearly unsuitable for continuing to receive the baptism of fortune.
Those who were originally undergoing the baptism of fortune now felt quite helpless.
This is equivalent to the opportunity just getting in hand and then flying away again.
The black aura within the black bead writhed up and down toward the Eight Immortal Towers, attempting to envelop them entirely.
"What's going on?!"
The people of the Eight Immortal Palaces were all taken aback by this scene. The Eight Immortal Towers, which were shrouded in white light, were now frozen in place by a black aura.
"Sima Jiba, what does this mean?!"
Zhuge Boqi was also greatly alarmed by this situation. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, staring intently at Sima Jiba.
Sima Jiba looked at the Eight Immortal Towers with hesitation.
"Brother Boqi, I don't know what's going on either. I don't know what the bead Feng Xiu is holding is either. Please calm down."
"You don't know anything! Sima Jiba, do you really think our Eight Immortal Palaces are easy to bully?!"
Zhuge Boqi was even more furious when he heard Sima Jiba's nonsense.
However, this was not the time to argue with Sima Jiba. Instead, they headed towards the Eight Immortal Pagodas, intending to forcibly suppress them.
But it was too late; the white of the Eight Immortal Pagodas had turned into a mix of black and white.
The Eight Immortal Towers, which had originally obeyed Zhuge Boqi's orders, suddenly broke free from his command.
Zhuge Boqi was even more shocked at this moment, as the Eight Immortal Towers had actually escaped his control!
In the entire Eight Immortal Palaces, only two people can control the Eight Immortal Towers. The first is naturally the Eight Immortal Emperors, and the second is Zhuge Boqi.
However, Zhuge Boqi had already lost control of the Eight Immortal Towers, which was a serious problem.
"Sima Jiba, you must immediately order your disciples from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace to stop!"
Zhuge Boqi lost control of the Eight Immortal Pagodas and was unable to forcefully break through their control. He could only turn to Sima Jiba and shout.
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Eight Immortal Palace also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Any matter concerning the Eight Immortal Towers is of paramount importance and urgency within the Eight Immortal Palaces.
"Brother Boqi, please calm down. I really don't know what's going on either."
Sima Jiba shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
Zhuge Boqi's eyes were filled with rage.
"Very well, if that's the case, then your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace doesn't need to leave!"
Zhuge Boqi knew that if he detained everyone from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace today, the prestige of the Eight Immortal Palaces in the Eight-Nine Rivers would be greatly diminished.
However, compared to being suspected by other sects, Zhuge Boqi was more worried about the Eight Immortal Towers.
"Brother Boqi, as I said, we need to remain calm!" Sima Jiba was prepared. With a sudden flick of his sleeve, the airship hovering in the sky transformed into a giant array plate, enveloping Sima Jiba and the others.
Zhuge Boqi slammed his palm down on the array plate, which shook slightly but did not cause any damage.
"How is this possible?!"
The department heads were all shocked to see this. Their Grand Palace Master was a genuine Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor, a renowned super strongman in the Eight-Nine Long River, yet his palm strike failed to break through the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace's array.
"Hahaha..." Sima Jiba laughed loudly a few times, "Brother Boqi, don't even think about it. Do you know what this is? This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Wasteland Array Plate!"
Sima Jiba's words spread throughout the entire Eight Immortal Palace, causing the faces of everyone in the Eight Immortal Palace to turn ugly once again.
"Hehe, Sima Jiba, what's this? You're so well prepared this time, you even prepared this turtle shell beforehand!"
"I'm just being prepared, Brother Boqi. Who made your Eight Immortal Palaces so famous? I'm only doing this to protect the outstanding disciples of our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace."
Sima Jiba made no move in the face of Zhuge Boqi's questioning, simply shrugged and showed only a smug look on his face.
"Oh no! The foundation of the Eight Immortal Towers has been shaken!"
Zhuge Boqi felt a sudden tremor in his body, his eyes filled with horror.
Sima Jiba, on the other hand, looked carefree, a stark contrast to Zhuge Boqi's expression.
"Haha, Elder, it seems that the sealing of the cultivation should be successful."
Master Yi stood beside Sima Jiba, his face beaming with pride.
"Nine hundred and forty-nine floors, is that enough?"
Master Yi suddenly spoke again, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Sima Ji smiled confidently.
"Hehe, this has been tested twice by our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. Nine hundred and forty-nine floors are more than enough. In addition, I have prepared a backup plan to ensure that it will be foolproof and absolutely impossible to fail!"
Sima Jiba's confidence brought smiles to everyone inside the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
From today onwards, the Eight Immortal Towers will be renamed the Nine Heavens Immortal Towers, becoming the most precious treasure of their Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
Zhuge Boqi, a veteran Immortal Emperor who had traversed the Eight or Nine Rivers for millions of years, was now panicked, because he had discovered that the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was actually after their supreme treasure.
However, their palace master is currently at the most crucial moment in his attempt to become an Immortal Venerable and is unable to spare any time.
Within the Eight Immortal Towers.
Standing on the 919th floor, Lin Yuan watched as the milky white aura around him gradually turned black, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
Ling Jin, Qiu Long, and the three in green were all beaming with excitement.
"Haha, it seems Senior Brother Feng Xiu has succeeded!"
"It has not been in vain that our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace has laid out this plan for hundreds of thousands of years."
"From this day forward, the Eight Immortal Palaces will be renamed the Nine Heavens Immortal Palaces."
"Hahaha, our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm with this treasure!"
Lin Xuan was now standing on the 910th floor.
If things had gone according to the normal procedure, Lin Xuan would have once again attracted the admiration and adoration of the people of the Eight Immortal Palaces after reaching the 900th floor, and would have successfully advanced to become a candidate for the young palace master of the Eight Immortal Palaces, with his status rising rapidly.
But now, no one is paying attention to Lin Xuan reaching the 900th floor; everyone's eyes are on Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu focused all his attention and energy on the black bead.
"Myriad Demon Pearl, unleash your power completely! Let the Eight Immortal Palaces become my spiritual treasures, my capital to ascend to the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm!" (End of Chapter)
