Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 421 The Lord of the Dao Palace is Primordial? A Traitor to the Immortal Path!

After seeing Donghuang Yuechan off, Gu Jiancheng began to focus all his efforts on recovery.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Mountain and River Map, the clone was also continuing to work hard to improve its cultivation.

Only then did Gu Jiancheng realize that the flow of time inside the Primordial Battlefield was different from that outside.

However, time flows more slowly here!

He was here for a month, but a year had passed outside, and even longer in the landscape painting.

If it weren't for the many opportunities and mysteries hidden here, Gu Jiancheng really wouldn't want to continue cultivating here.

Thus, Gu Jiancheng sat cross-legged in the void for two full months. After his Qi Sea was fully restored and his Divine Sense Realm was once again advanced, his cultivation level broke through to the seventh level of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

During this time, Gu Jiancheng was constantly sensing the changes in his surroundings.

He discovered that there were more and more strange cultivators here. They were born from the void and then left the Primordial God City, seemingly to wipe out all the cultivators who entered the Primordial Battlefield.

During this period, more and more cultivators from various races entered the Ancient Battlefield for training, but they were mostly there to hone their combat skills. It wasn't a good option for them to advance their cultivation level.

Thus, Gu Jiancheng also discovered that there was indeed a strange source hidden within the Ancient Divine City, and even that this strange source showed signs of growing stronger.

Even though his combat power has increased dramatically again, he still can't handle it alone.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Jiancheng chose to leave this place temporarily.

This is not something he can handle alone.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng used the token to leave the Ancient Battlefield and return to the Supreme Saint Palace.

He stayed in the Ancient Divine City for three months, while three years had passed in the outside world, and even longer inside the Mountain and River Map.

Therefore, when Gu Jiancheng returned to the Supreme Saint Dao Palace, he found that there were many cultivators in the Supreme Saint Dao Palace, and their auras were at their peak.

In three years, under the leadership of the Dao Palace Master and with the addition of the Taiji Sect's top combat power, the Supreme Dao Palace has already shown the momentum to sweep across the eight wastelands.

They have been continuously occupying lands in the Outer Heavens, and on the list of the Hundred Clans of the Asking Heaven Pavilion, they have even climbed to seventh place, second only to the six ancient clans.

At least for now, in terms of top-tier combat power, the Supreme Holy Dao Palace is absolutely not inferior, and is even stronger!

After Gu Jiancheng returned, he went straight to the forbidden area of ​​the Dao Palace.

The first thing he did upon returning was to ask the Lord of the Daoist Temple about the explanation he had previously promised him.

The Lord of the Dao Palace said that he would reveal his identity as soon as he came out of the Primordial Battlefield.

Now, it's time to deliver on that promise.

When Gu Jiancheng arrived at the forbidden area, he saw that the Lord of the Dao Palace seemed to have anticipated this and was waiting for him in front of the forbidden area.

"It's good that you're back safe and sound. I know you've learned a lot in the ancient battlefield. You got the Xuanyuan Sword too, right?"

The Lord of the Dao Palace laughed.

"Ok!"

Gu Jiancheng nodded, then raised his hand and summoned the Xuanyuan Sword.

Although it was only half-finished, it was still filled with the oppressive aura of the Human Emperor, which was incomparable to Zhanlu Chixiao.

"Very good, come with me!"

The master of that palace smiled, then turned and entered the forbidden area.

Gu Jiancheng quickly followed.

This was his first time entering the forbidden area's central hub, but as soon as he stepped inside, he discovered that the space was filled with ancient restrictions.

A sphere of light floats in the center, with countless points of light orbiting around it like planets.

Gu Jiancheng activated his divine eyes, trying his best to see it clearly, but found that no matter what he did, he could not see through the ball of light.

The Lord of the Dao Palace stood before the sphere of light, then suddenly turned around and said, "I understand, you want to know my identity."

"That's right, the Palace Master's identity is definitely extraordinary. I hope you can enlighten me this time!"

Gu Jiancheng cupped his hands in greeting.

"Actually, my identity isn't hard to guess, because we clearly met before in the Eight Desolate Domains!" the Dao Palace Master laughed.

"what did you say?"

Gu Jiancheng was slightly taken aback.

When did he meet the Lord of the Dao Palace in the Eight Desolate Domains?

But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, are you saying that inside the Human Emperor's Palace?"

“Every time, what’s inside the Emperor’s Palace is indeed me. To be precise, what you see now is actually just an avatar of mine from back then!”

The Lord of the Dao Palace smiled and said, "Therefore, I am one of the Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Clan in the Primordial Era. They all call me the Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

"The Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

Gu Jiancheng was startled.

Sure enough, his earlier guess was correct!

Inside the Human Emperor's Palace is the Primordial Celestial Venerable, one of the three strongest Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Path in the Primordial Era!

But to his utter surprise, the Lord of the Dao Palace was actually an avatar of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!

"Hehe, that's right. My true body is no longer in the Outer Heavens; only this avatar remains to protect you!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, you have not disappointed us. You have become strong enough now!"

"Senior, what exactly happened after the Primordial War?"

Gu Jiancheng quickly asked.

Previously, Donghuang Taiyi had not made it clear to him that there was still a large gap between the ancient times after the Great War and the ancient times ten thousand years ago.

And this Primordial Celestial Venerable must know this.

"Haha, Donghuang Taiyi really doesn't know about what will happen later; he's only responsible for guarding the Primordial Divine City."

The Lord of the Dao Palace laughed heartily, then thought for a moment and said, "Alas, that was indeed a long time ago."

"Perhaps I should start with the story of the ancient god Gonggong knocking down Mount Buzhou."

"The ancient war shattered the Pangu Continent into countless fragments. Back then, the ancient gods led all races to retreat to the Kunlun Realm."

"But because of the collapse of Mount Buzhou, problems arose between the gods and the immortals, causing the Kunlun Realm to tilt and resulting in countless deaths and injuries."

"Some members of my immortal lineage chose to leave the Kunlun Realm to seek other places of cultivation; that place was later called the Immortal Realm!"

"The Immortal Realm!?" Gu Jiancheng gasped upon hearing this.

Could it be that the immortal realm refers to the world where Yunshuiyao is located?

"That's right, it's the Immortal Realm, also known as the Heavenly Realm."

"At that time, the Celestial Realm was still connected to the Kunlun Realm, and the powerful could communicate with each other."

"Afterwards, the Buddhist sect rose to prominence in the Kunlun Realm, and eventually chose to seek out worlds beyond the realms for cultivation. In the end, they also went to the Immortal Realm and formed their own region."

"But afterwards, a conflict arose between the Immortal Realm and the Kunlun Realm, or rather, traitors from my Immortal Path attempted to control the entire Kunlun Realm, which displeased the Human Emperor and sparked another great war 15,000 years ago!"

"That war lasted for five thousand years, until the Human Emperor severed the connection between heaven and earth, completely cutting off the link with the Immortal Realm, and then it ended."

"That is the origin of the Eight Desolate Tombs. It is said to be a calamity, but it is actually a war with the Immortal Realm, in which cultivators from other regions also intervened."

"The connection between heaven and earth is severed! So that's how it is!" Gu Jiancheng nodded; he knew this legend.

"So, who is it that went to the Immortal Realm?" Gu Jiancheng asked again.

This person must be the traitor to the immortal path that he and Donghuang Taiyi mentioned.

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the Lord of the Dao Palace suddenly became serious.

Gu Jiancheng's heart sank suddenly.
