Chapter 1799: Chapter 1818: Refining Three Spiritual Objects!

All those forbidden figures rushed in haste toward the next Divine Palace, yet they all overlooked these Ancient Divine Guards of the First Divine Palace. Perhaps the true treasure of the First Divine Palace was precisely these Ancient Divine Guards?

This wild, absurd idea surfaced in Ye Xuan’s heart, and the feeling only grew stronger, pushing him to tentatively walk toward those Ancient Divine Guards.

"Kill!"

Roar!

Ancient divine might erupted, killing shouts shook the sky. The moment Ye Xuan drew near those Ancient Divine Guards, a boundless storm of attacks came crashing down on him.

Chi chi chi!

Blades and Weapons slashed down at Ye Xuan from all directions, forcing him to hurriedly defend. The Twelve Heavenly Gates revolved behind him, and he continuously drove the Eternal Reincarnation Fist.

Bang!

Ye Xuan blasted out a punch and actually smashed an Ancient Divine Guard to pieces. A mote of Ancient Divine Light rippled out, and in the next instant, something extremely astonishing happened!

Buzz!

The mysterious symbol on Ye Xuan’s forehead throbbed violently and instantly devoured that mote of divine light. At the same time, a sorrowful cry of an Ancient Battle Soul echoed in his ears.

"The War Soul does not perish, it shall exist for Eternal Reincarnation!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Something terrifying occurred. As the voice of the Ancient Battle Soul thundered beside Ye Xuan’s ears, the surrounding Ancient Divine Guards also roared out a mournful chant.

Bang, bang, bang!

One Ancient Divine Guard after another exploded; streaks of Ancient Divine Light appeared, then turned into countless motes of light and were devoured by the mysterious symbol on Ye Xuan’s forehead.

Dong—dong—dong!

The mysterious symbol pulsed violently, as if the sound of the Eternal great Dao was resounding, instantly sending Ye Xuan into a hazy, trance-like state.

Time slipped away bit by bit. No one knew how long had passed before Ye Xuan’s whole body trembled. He suddenly woke up, terrifying light bursting in his eyes.

"So that’s how it is!"

Ye Xuan suddenly growled in a low voice, the corner of his mouth lifting into a trace of excitement, because he had obtained a secret—a secret regarding the path to the Eighty-first Divine Palace.

It turned out that to reach the Eighty-first Divine Palace, one had to collect all the imprints left behind by the Ancient Battle Souls. Only after gathering all the imprints could the Eighty-first Divine Palace be opened.

In other words, the Ancient Divine Mountain had eighty-one Ancient Divine Palaces, and within each Divine Palace there was an imprint left by an Ancient powerhouse. When these imprints were brought together, they formed the key to open the Eighty-first Divine Palace.

And this was all thanks to the mysterious symbol formed from the Ancient Battle Soul. If Ye Xuan hadn’t gained the recognition of that Ancient Battle Soul on the Ancient Road of the Starry Sky, then even if he had easily entered the Ancient Divine Mountain, he still wouldn’t have discovered this secret.

It was as if, in the darkness of Mingming, Heaven and Earth had their own design. From the moment Ye Xuan stepped onto the Ancient Road of the Starry Sky to his entry into the Ancient Divine Mountain, an invisible force had been quietly guiding and shielding his steps.

Huff!

Ye Xuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His eyes were as deep as an ancient pool; he had already faintly sensed the changes happening to himself.

This was no longer something that could be explained away as mere luck. Ye Xuan could feel that his arrival here was as if ordained by fate.

Moreover, in that instant, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a strange familiarity, an illusion as though he had already been here before.

The feeling was extremely bizarre, yet it truly existed in the depths of his heart and could not be erased no matter what he did.

Go!

Ye Xuan forcefully suppressed this illusion. Since he had already discovered the secret of opening the Eighty-first Divine Palace, next he had to gather all the Ancient Seals left in each Divine Palace, and then head to the Eighty-first Ancient Divine Palace to open it.

Whoosh!

Ye Xuan took a single step forward and entered the gate.

...

It had to be said, Ye Xuan’s luck was indeed excellent. When he arrived at the Second Ancient Divine Palace, he didn’t find any forbidden figures there.

At this moment!

He stood in the middle of a sea of flowers. The space between Heaven and Earth was filled with extremely dense Primordial Qi, and there were also many Ancient Spiritual Essence that even he could not recognize.

Within that boundless sea of flowers, there was a single stalk of Spirit Grass shining with divine radiance. Just a single glance at it made the cultivation in one’s body stir restlessly.

"Looks like every Divine Palace is a cultivation holy land. This is the greatest opportunity for me."

Ye Xuan murmured under his breath, then swept across the sea of flowers. With a flip of his hand he picked a large number of Ancient Spiritual Essence, until he arrived before that stalk of Ancient Spiritual Grass.

Take!

Ye Xuan flicked his sleeve, about to sweep that Ancient Spiritual Grass into his bag. Yet just as he moved, the entire sea of flowers suddenly surged. Each seemingly ordinary flower and blade of grass transformed into the most terrifying Ancient Divine Light, shooting to kill him.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan had been prepared, knowing that every Ancient Divine Palace was filled with peril. The Twelve Heavenly Gates rose behind him, and the mysterious symbol on his forehead pulsed. The terrifying, surging sea of flowers instantly calmed down.

At the same time, Ye Xuan successfully swept that stalk of Ancient Spiritual Grass into his bag.

In the next instant, a gate appeared once more. It was clearly the entrance leading to the next Divine Palace, but Ye Xuan did not step through. Instead, he studied the sea of flowers.

Based on the experience in the First Divine Palace, Ye Xuan already knew that within every Divine Palace there was an Ancient Seal. Only by collecting these Ancient Seals could he go and open the Eighty-first Divine Palace.

Boom!

Ye Xuan’s five fingers clawed out fiercely as he also drove the mysterious symbol on his forehead. A vague, obscure aura rippled out. The entire sea of flowers suddenly distorted, then began to wither all at once. An Ancient Seal emerged and flew straight toward Ye Xuan.

Take!

The mysterious symbol burst forth with Ancient divine might and directly devoured this Ancient Seal; the Divine Palace dimmed, losing its luster.

"Just as I thought!"

Ye Xuan whispered excitedly, knowing his deduction was correct.

Since he now knew his method was feasible, Ye Xuan was in no rush to head to the next Divine Palace. Instead, he examined his own cultivation.

All strength ultimately rests on oneself. Only by rapidly increasing his own cultivation would he grasp what truly mattered.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, and two Ancient Spiritual Objects appeared before him. Besides the Ancient Spiritual Grass he had just picked, there was also an Ancient Strange Flower he had obtained from the Black and White Two Kings.

Previously, after Ye Xuan swallowed the Mystic Sky Pearl, a vast and Supreme energy had already appeared in his body. Now, by using these two Ancient Spiritual Objects, he might be able to merge the Twelve Heavenly Gates into one.

Roar!

Ye Xuan opened his mouth wide and swallowed both Divine Items in one gulp. Two extremely terrifying streams of Primordial Qi suddenly erupted within his body.

At the same time, the energy of the Mystic Sky Pearl that Ye Xuan had been suppressing inside him was also released all at once. When three incomparably vast torrents of Ancient Essence intertwined within his body, an aura terrifying to the extreme exploded from him.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Ye Xuan’s body boomed with terrifying roars, his whole being turning fiery red like red-hot iron. Wave after wave of terrifying energy and Primordial Qi overflowed from him, blue veins bulging and writhing all over his body.

"Ergh—ah!"

Ye Xuan let out low, continuous roars. The Twelve Heavenly Gates revolved at a speed they had never reached before, and that dreadful Reincarnation Halo turned into streaks of blinding light, constantly blasting apart the surrounding void.
