Chapter 1332: Immortal Seals Appear Together

Qin Sang and his companions arrived below the passage. This was a bare, barren hilltop with no trace of ancient restrictions. However, within the perilous Sin God Palace, this seemed highly unusual.

Qin Sang flew to a mountaintop and saw that the area directly in front was filled with spatial rifts, spatial turbulence, and fragments of ancient restrictions, indicating they were nearing the edge of the Sin God Palace.

He immersed his consciousness into his Qi Sea. The Slaying Sword fragment lay quietly within his Nascent Soul. He had already traversed the Sin God Palace, and the sword spirit had shown no reaction, indicating there were no other Slaying Sword fragments here. Qin Sang mused, "It's largely confirmed that there isn't a second Slaying Sword fragment in the Northern Star Realm. In the future, I'll have to leave the Northern Star Realm to search in the other three realms or the Demon Sea."

A wisp of five-colored mist drifted before him. He reached out to touch it, and the mist dispersed without revealing anything unusual. The five-colored mist permeated the surroundings, continuously pouring out from the thunder ring.

True Lord Canghong cautiously flew beneath the thunder ring. After investigating, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation of surprise, an unexpected expression appearing on his face. Everyone was watching True Lord Canghong's actions. Seeing his reaction, they felt a tightening in their hearts and repeatedly asked what had happened.

"Everything inside the passage is normal," True Lord Canghong said with a strange tone. "These five-colored mists seem to be drifting in from the other end of the passage..."

The other end of the passage led directly to the Purple Micro Palace. Could something have happened in the Purple Micro Palace? Everyone exchanged glances.

"Since the passage is normal, we'll know once we go inside and see!" True One Daoist said in a deep voice.

Everyone gathered towards the passage entrance. This passage was different from others. As long as everyone performed the corresponding secret technique, they could all pass through it simultaneously to reach the Purple Micro Palace. The exit was located at the demon cave on the edge of the outer palace, meaning they wouldn't have to worry about Old Devil Ye ambushing them one by one.

Everyone activated their magic treasures, ready to react at any moment, and sat cross-legged in the void. Qin Sang took out the Demon-Binding Rope, which Qing Jun had just given to him. He glanced back and saw that Qing Jun and Jing Yu had not yet arrived.

At this moment, Qing Jun and Jing Yu were still within the forbidden area. "Her mastery of the puppet path has likely reached its pinnacle!" Jing Yu thought to herself as she looked at Qing Jun. At least among the cultivators she had encountered, no one could rival Qing Jun in the puppet path. Because of Qin Sang, they were allies, not adversaries. Yet, for some reason, Jing Yu always felt an indescribable apprehension towards Qing Jun.

Nowadays, Qin Sang's reputation in the cultivation world was immense, directly rivaling Old Devil Ye, and he even showed a tendency to surpass established powerful figures like True One Daoist and Nether Demon Lord. What was even more remarkable was his youth; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Northern Star Realm would eventually become Qin Sang's domain. Qing Jun, on the other hand, was much more low-key. In her guise as Leng Yuntian, she had only revealed her prowess at the Blood Lake, single-handedly holding her own against Old Devil Ye. However, in the end, she was one step behind, and Old Devil Ye seized the Jade Bone Brocade Skin from her, her brilliance overshadowed by Qin Sang's achievements.

However, Qin Sang's strength was openly displayed, though his cultivation level itself wasn't particularly high. His trump cards—the Thunder Escape technique, top-tier magic treasures, powerful demonic flames, puppets, and refined corpses—were impossible to conceal. Once used, they would be remembered. Jing Yu recalled her several encounters with Qing Jun and always felt that Qing Jun was difficult to fathom, quite mysterious. There was no concrete evidence, just a purely instinctive feeling. "It must be an illusion," she thought. "Hiding one's strength in front of Old Devil Ye is akin to courting death." Jing Yu secretly ridiculed herself, attributing her thoughts to being inexperienced after two centuries of confinement.

Just as Jing Yu was lost in thought, Qing Jun put away her Azure Luan puppet, flew out from the seal, and gently shook her head, having found nothing.

At the passage entrance.

Qin Sang and the others simultaneously formed hand seals. Talismans composed of spiritual power appeared before them, shimmering with silver light and establishing a connection with the passage.

"Break!"

The moment the talismans were completed, everyone simultaneously struck towards the passage.

*Crack!*

The talismans shattered with a crack, dissolving into shimmering specks of light. Half drifted into the passage, while the other half settled upon them. Everyone felt their bodies tighten. Everything in their vision suddenly vanished, plunging them into darkness as they were gently pulled upwards by a soft force. Initially, the speed was slow, but it gradually accelerated.

They were carried an unknown distance.

Finally, Qin Sang felt the pulling force disappear. Knowing he had been brought into the demon cave, he was about to activate his magic treasure to prepare for danger when an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted above his head. Outside, it sounded as if the heavens and earth were rending asunder!

Qin Sang's mind reeled, and his expression subtly shifted. At that moment, the others also appeared around him, all startled by the tremendous noise. Everyone exchanged glances and hurried out of the demon cave, finding five-colored mist floating in the void. It had indeed originated from the Purple Micro Palace. The moment they flew out of the demon cave, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

There was no trace of Old Devil Ye. But that no longer mattered. They stared blankly in the direction of the Purple Micro Palace's inner palace, their faces revealing expressions of shock and disbelief.

True One Daoist and Nether Demon Lord had already entered the Purple Micro Palace several times. Even for Qin Sang, this was his third entry. In the past, the Purple Micro Palace's inner palace was very calm, surprisingly less dangerous than the outer palace. Golden Core cultivators could move freely as long as they didn't trespass into the forbidden areas.

Heaven Mountain, Sword Mark Mountain, Xuanpu Palace, Ancient Medicine Garden, Immortal City Ruins... These forbidden areas were replete with ancient restrictions, yet they were extremely stable, their power never manifesting externally.

Now, it was utterly different! At this moment, the inner palace was extremely unstable, the void violently shaking. All ancient restrictions had been activated, revealing their power, and all the previously hidden secret realms and forbidden areas were now laid bare before their eyes.

The Immortal City had been flattened by a single hand, leaving behind a colossal palm print. The remaining ancient restrictions were activated, giving rise to illusions of the Immortal City. Though shattered and incomplete, they still conveyed the magnificence of a peerless immortal city!

Illusions had manifested over Sword Mark Mountain, enveloping the surrounding peaks. From within them, a world-shattering sword energy shot skyward, shattering the illusions with the might of cleaving through the clouds.

In the Ancient Medicine Garden, profound light formed luminous shields, each covering a vast spiritual field. Faint gleams of treasure light flickered within, clearly indicating peerless spiritual medicines that had never been discovered before. Above the center of the Ancient Medicine Garden, a secret realm appeared out of thin air. Within it, a spirit tree with a canopy like clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun, sheltering the fragmented realm. It was teeming with vitality, shrouded in wisps of mist, and utterly mysterious. Qin Sang recognized it: this was indeed Xuanpu Palace, the mysterious place that had nurtured Cloud Roamer and the Nine-Illusion Sky Orchid. He had originally intended to explore Xuanpu Palace!

Furthermore, he also saw a ruined palace. The Spirit Gathering Palace had also appeared. Back then, it was from the Spirit Gathering Palace's immortal platform that the Three-Light Jade Liquid had been obtained.

The summit of Heaven Mountain, moreover, showed continuous strange phenomena. Shadows of immortal palaces flickered in and out of existence, their reality uncertain, yet they bore a striking resemblance to the immortal palace above the Seven Kill Temple.

These were merely the tip of the inner palace's iceberg. Whether previously discovered or always unknown, all secret realms had now reappeared in the world. This was the true immortal palace! The true Purple Micro Palace!

Everyone was incredibly shocked and found it hard to believe. One cultivator muttered, "Could this be the work of Old Devil Ye and the demon?"
