Chapter 1847: Chapter 1867: Arrival of Immortal Palace at the Ancient Battlefield_1

Two months flashed by in the blink of an eye.

The team from the Immortal Palace had already assembled, boarding the gigantic ship Black Cloud Ship, heading towards the location of the Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest.

The Black Cloud Ship was a massive black vessel, comparable to a sky fortress. It was similar to Jin Buhuan’s ship, but less opulent and equipped with a greater number of Array Formations, enhancing its defensive capabilities and power.

This was Yao Xiong’s vehicle and the symbol of the Immortal Palace.

Its departure signified the departure of the Domain Lord.

Over this period, Cao Hechuan issued the Immortal Palace Order to many sects, mobilizing the strongest from each. A total of fifty-two Celestials gathered at the Immortal Palace.

These fifty-two Celestials were not to be underestimated, all of them having the strength of Late-stage Celestials or Peak Celestials, with a few even nearing the strength of an Immortal Monarch.

Each one was a pillar of their sect and a well-known powerhouse. Now, they had all gathered at the Immortal Palace for the successful undertaking of the Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest.

If one was to consider merely the scale and number, the Immortal Palace could easily summon many more Early and Mid-stage Celestials. However, after careful consideration, it was decided to only summon the strongest to avoid wasting resources on the weak during chaotic battles.

Aboard the ship, other than these fifty-two super powerhouses, there were Golden Immortal guards and handmaids from the Immortal Palace. Lin Chen, a Late True Immortal, was probably the weakest aboard.

Lin Chen didn’t get involved in these affairs. With Cao Hechuan present, there was nothing to worry about. Moreover, as a young man with minimal strength, it was better for him to focus on cultivation instead.

After exiting from his meditation room and boarding the ship, Lin Chen immediately went into the room next to Yao Xuanji’s for cultivation.

Concerned for Lin Chen’s safety, Yao Xuanji arranged for him to stay next to her so he could escape to her room if any danger arose.

The entire ship was an airborne fortress, and Yao Xuanji’s room was its core.

Various protective arrays were in place; even a Peak Celestial might not be able to breach the array’s defenses.

The ship sailed swiftly and arrived at the designated location for the Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest after a month.

The Ancient Battlefield.

This was an ancient battlefield relic site where countless immortals had fallen, turning this vast area into a desolate land with no sign of life, and a place filled with quick death.

It was also an adventurous spot for many cultivators. If they were fortunate and quick enough, they might locate the relics of fallen immortals and acquire cultivation techniques or magical treasures.

In this ancient battlefield, ships were continuously coming in like a stream.

The Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest was a grand event on the Heavenly Mystery Continent, and most sects would participate to witness the spectacle and potentially comprehend the Dao in combat, or to trade with other sects. In short, it wasn’t a wasted trip.

The arrival of the Immortal Palace’s ship caused quite a stir.

"That must be the Domain Lord’s vehicle, haven’t seen it in years!"

"Yeah, we haven’t seen this ship for tens of thousands of years. Seeing it today really evokes memories."

"Yao Xuanji has indeed inherited her father’s legacy. Although Yao Xiong left, she, as a young woman, managed to keep the Immortal Palace running. The Immortal Palace has fought several battles against the Heavenly Dao Alliance in recent years and won cleanly, proving the Immortal Palace’s strength once again."

"Now that the Immortal Palace has arrived, the Heavenly Dao Alliance must be here too. Everyone, be careful, if something goes wrong, we should flee!"

"This Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest will probably encounter major issues!"

While discussions arose, the ship stopped atop a majestic mountain peak, looking like a castle had suddenly appeared on the mountainside.

Yao Xuanji stepped out of the cabin and stood at the helm of the ship, her heart stirred as she looked at the ships scattered before her like a vast sea, banners like forests, all types of mythical beasts roaring, dragons howling, tigers roaring, and phoenixes dancing.

The Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest would begin in three days.

Following the arrival of the Immortal Palace’s ship, many came forward to visit Yao Xuanji.

These were gestures of allegiance.

Yao Xuanji received them all. After all, those who dared to board the Black Cloud Ship and meet her were undoubtedly core figures among the strong big sects. At such a critical juncture, Yao Xuanji needed to win over people’s hearts.

Those who voluntarily made these gestures of allegiance were mostly stalwart followers of the Immortal Palace, loyal subordinates of Yao Xiong. Now that Yao Xiong was no longer around, but Yao Xuanji was, they naturally needed to pay a visit.

Apart from these, many other powerful big sects chose to be mere spectators.

Well-informed individuals among them knew that this Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest would involve a brutal fight. It was perilous, so they wouldn’t easily make a commitment and place their bets. The best avenue was to remain neutral, stay uninvolved, and reserve some room for manoeuvre.

The Black Cloud Ship’s positioning atop the mountain peak meant that anyone approaching the ship would be seen by others. This caused many to hesitate, torn between whether they should visit or not.

At this moment, two men floated towards the Black Cloud Ship. The middle-aged man declared solemnly: "Dugu Poyun of the North Profound Sect seeks an audience with the Palace Lord!"
