Chapter 1384 - Chapter 1384 Chapter 581 First Encounter with the Age Candle

Chapter 1384: Chapter 581: First Encounter with the Age Candle, One Hundred Tao Crystals Chapter 1384: Chapter 581: First Encounter with the Age Candle, One Hundred Tao Crystals This ancient voice, without a doubt, must have belonged to the Age Candle Dao Ancestor.

Han Yi respectfully acknowledged with a word, then proceeded toward the central mountaintop, walking towards the largest palace there.

Upon reaching the front of the palace, he slowed his pace and looked up at the nameplate hung above the palace, which bore the three majestic characters: “Age Candle Hall”.

Through this nameplate, Han Yi seemed to see a supremely exalted Taoist, sitting cross-legged in the Land of Nothingness, his aura earth-shattering, vast and boundless, enveloping the endless expanse of time and space.

He bowed his head slightly, out of respect.

This Great Hall was the only one on Age Candle Mountain and also the place where the Age Candle Dao Ancestor cultivated.

Every Immortal Monarch and Immortal Venerate’s Tao Seat was also within this Great Hall.

Immortal Monarchs, aside from their first climb up Age Candle Mountain, if within the Immortal Court, only needed to reach the base of the mountain and then with a thought, locate their Tao Seat, which upon Age Candle Mountain’s verification, would allow them to teleport up.

Han Yi stepped into the Age Candle Hall, which was not closed off, but rather open.

After entering the Great Hall, Han Yi glanced around and noticed that the entire hall was immense, much larger in area than even a sizable Immortal City.

Across the palace floor, at vast intervals, there were cushions of various sizes, the smaller ones about a meter in diameter, and the larger ones even tens of thousands of zhang in diameter.

Tao Seats.

Han Yi understood in his heart, if he wasn’t mistaken, these cushions were the manifestations of the Tao Seats.

Each cushion here represented a Tao Seat and correspondingly an Immortal Monarch or Immortal Venerate, and even a Dao Ancestor.

With just a glance, the myriad Tao Seat cushions were all within his sight, and Han Yi instantly knew their number.

Five hundred sixty-seven.

His heart slightly tightened.

This data indicated that the Age Candle Immortal Court had witnessed the emergence of five hundred sixty-seven members at or above the Immortal Monarch Level.

This number, including the fallen Immortal Monarchs and higher, whose Tao Seats were not revoked after their demise but continued to be preserved.

This was the tradition within the Age Candle Hall.

Han Yi shifted his gaze and looked around.

The four walls of the palace were inlaid with dazzling stars, unusual gems, and Crystal Stones, and even a number of illusory miniature worlds were suspended above the palace.

At first glance, this did not seem like the interior of a palace but rather a mysterious world.

At the deepest end of the palace, the highest seat was occupied by a Taoist sitting upon a cushion, looking towards Han Yi.

The Taoist had white eyebrows and crane-like hair, a smile on his face, his stature not particularly tall – just ordinary, yet as he sat there, it was as if the whole world was collapsing and converging upon him.

This sensation lasted for less than one ten-thousandth of an instant.

As soon as Han Yi’s mind stirred, the feeling vanished without a trace, the aura emanating from the Taoist on the high seat was calm, not showing any authority.

But naturally, Han Yi did not dare to neglect.

He bowed his head and respectfully greeted,

“Disciple Han Yi, greets the Ancestor!”

On the high seat, observing Han Yi who had entered the Age Candle Hall, the Age Candle Dao Ancestor’s expression did not change much, but in his heart, a complex emotion inevitably surfaced.

This complexity contained shock as well as confusion.

He was startled that Han Yi had only taken two thousand years to reach his current state; throughout Daluo’s history, only two people had been faster than him.

One of them had become a Heavenly Sovereign, and the other was the fastest to become a Dao Ancestor in Daluo’s history and also the quickest to fall.

As for the confusion, it was quite simple.

He had explored Han Yi’s identity before Han Yi became an Immortal, but amid the darkness, there came a power so alarming even to him, tracing its way back and interrupting his exploration.

The Age Candle Dao Ancestor surmised that if he continued the search, this tracing force would likewise grow stronger, and even if he did not fall, he would be gravely injured.

Moreover, the key point was that in the end, he might very likely uncover nothing at all.

But from this force, he did not detect any negative energy; it only existed purely to prevent outsiders from investigating Han Yi’s identity.

Therefore, at that time he decided not to probe Han Yi’s identity further but to let things take their course and allow Han Yi to cultivate on his own.

If Han Yi truly achieved great success, he would be part of Age Candle, which would be beneficial for Age Candle too.

Looking at the Han Yi before him, the Age Candle Dao Ancestor pointed his finger and a streak of Spirit Light fell upon Han Yi.

Han Yi felt his perspective lift, able to ‘see’ the entirety of the Age Candle Hall.

“Choose a spot you like, and with your Tao Thought, congeal it into a cushion, to serve as your Tao Seat,” reminded the voice of the Dao Ancestor, Han Yi’s thoughts stirred, and he randomly selected a spot.

This spot was not in the front, because the front was mostly occupied, and as for fighting over positions, Han Yi felt it was entirely unnecessary.

The position of a Tao Seat did not determine strength; it wasn’t as if the closer you were to the depths, the closer you were to the Dao Ancestor’s high seat, the higher your status would be.

After choosing a position, Han Yi found himself at the selected spot, his thoughts fell beneath him, merging with the rising Spirit Light from the Age Candle Hall floor, and in the blink of an eye, it became a cushion.

The cushion was a green color, born out of a fit with Han Yi’s intention.

He sat down and in an instant, the sundry thoughts in his heart dispersed, feeling a calmness within, and moreover, he could feel a gentle aura from the cushion, which was very beneficial to his Immortal Monarch body.

Han Yi was moved internally, intuiting this must be the enhancement from the Age Candle Hall.

After all, this hall stood atop Age Candle Mountain, a place of the Dao Ancestor’s cultivation; every inch of space here, under the influence of the Dao Ancestor, had become extraordinary.

“Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for granting the seat!” Han Yi bowed in gratitude.

The Dao Ancestor nodded and lightly tossed an object.
