Chapter 897 The Ruined Immortal Palace

Jing Yu clearly realized that the martial arts restriction had disappeared, and suddenly glanced at the Divine Cauldron Guardian in the early stage of the cave heaven, realizing that something was wrong.

"Run!"

brush--

Without saying a word, Jing Yu immediately activated the Burning Life Secret Technique, fully unleashing his escape light, transforming into a streak of gray light as he fled the Longevity Palace.

"Where to run!"

The guard of the Divine Cauldron had wasted over a hundred years with almost nothing to show for it, and was already furious. Now that the martial arts ban in the Longevity Palace had been lifted, he naturally wouldn't let Jing Yu, the wanted criminal of the Divine Cauldron, escape right under his nose. Seeing this, he quickly gave chase.

swish—swish—

Jing Yu and the guardian of the divine cauldron pursued and fled, their speeds surprisingly similar, maintaining a delicate balance for a time.

Jing Yu turned her head and glanced over, calculating in her mind, and thought to herself, "This person is at the same level as Ying Jun in the early stage of the Cave Heaven realm, but his escape speed is much faster than Ying Jun's. Sure enough, the old man has his own strengths. Although this person's path to cultivation has been severed, he can still be considered to be at the middle to upper level among early stage Cave Heaven cultivators."

To his surprise, the guardian of the divine cauldron was even more astonished: "Is this person really a Nascent Soul cultivator? How can his escape speed be so fast!"

How could he know that Jing Yu had now comprehended ten [Longevity Diagrams] and had already achieved profound mastery of the [Laws of Longevity], making the efficiency of the Longevity Burning Secret Technique far greater than before? This was why he could compare with him, an old cultivator in the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, in terms of escape speed.

"This can't go on. Once this Divine Cauldron cultivator also activates the Life-Burning Secret Technique, I'm afraid I'll be caught up."

Jing Yu took out a communication talisman and was about to send it out to notify Zhong Yuanqi to come and rescue him.

But the next moment, the communication talisman took a detour and was collected by the divine cauldron guard into a stone bowl.

"Hmm?" Jing Yu looked surprised. "What kind of treasure is this...?"

The Divine Cauldron Guardian sneered and mocked, "This is a treasure specially made by my Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, just to guard against your communication talisman. You'd better surrender obediently!"

Jing Yu ignored the man and simply accelerated his escape light, fleeing in despair.

After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yu disappeared into a forest and vaguely saw what appeared to be a celestial palace ahead.

"A new Immortal Palace? Great! There must be restrictions on martial arts within the Immortal Palace. Once inside, we'll be safe!"

Jing Yu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly flew towards the celestial palace.

However, the divine cauldron guards chasing behind became anxious at this moment. They didn't care about consuming their lifespan and hurriedly activated the Lifespan Burning Secret Technique, which increased their escape speed by a visible amount.

At this moment, Jing Yu was about to escape danger, so he naturally wouldn't delay. Seeing the divine cauldron guards getting closer and closer, he still ignored them and flew towards the entrance of the Immortal Palace.

"die!"

Jing Yu was already within reach. The Divine Cauldron Guardian made a hand seal and unleashed an earth-based spell containing the power of a grotto-heaven towards the young man before him.

But the next moment, Jing Yu only let out a muffled groan and used his physical body to withstand the angry attack from the Cave Heaven level!

puff……

Jing Yu spat out a mouthful of golden blood, and then, using the immense force of the impact, accelerated her flight into the entrance of the Immortal Palace.

The guardian of the divine cauldron looked incredulous and stammered, "Impossible... A Nascent Soul cultivator took my full-force attack and only coughed up a mouthful of blood?"

He followed Jing Yu into the Immortal Palace, intending for the pursuit to end in failure, but upon entering the palace, he was overjoyed:

"There are no restrictions on weapons here?"

Jing Yu was clearly aware of this as well, and her face darkened as a sense of foreboding welled up inside her.

"here……"

There was no plaque at the entrance of this celestial palace, and the furnishings inside were much older than those of ordinary celestial palaces, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.

Deep within the celestial palace, there were no murals depicting the mysteries of the laws.

Just as Jing Yu was about to escape, a loud crash was heard, and the only gate of this immortal palace slammed down, trapping the two of them inside.

"what?"

Even the guardian of the divine cauldron was startled and rushed forward to check, only to find that the entire immortal palace had become one, with no way to leave.

The guardian of the divine cauldron turned around, glaring fiercely at Jing Yu, and said, "You damned brat, you've got me stuck here too! I'll use you as a sacrifice to my flag!"

Seeing this, Jing Yu quickly said, "Wait! Old man, we are both trapped here now, why fight each other? The most urgent thing is to find a way out."

The Divine Cauldron Guardian sneered, "You have no knowledge whatsoever. There are no martial arts restrictions here, so it's obviously not a place of inheritance like other immortal palaces, but a training ground like a martial arts arena."

"Since we are both imprisoned here, it may be a fight to the death. Once I kill you, this Immortal Palace will open, and perhaps even a reward will be bestowed."

Jing Yu frowned and said, "This is nothing more than your one-sided conjecture. How can it be taken seriously?"

The guardian of the divine cauldron laughed heartily: "Whether it's my conjecture or not, we'll find out once we try!"

"Today I'll teach you a lesson so you can see the truth. I, your grandfather, will not change my name or surname; I am [Li Fang]!"

"I'll borrow your life for a moment!"

After saying that, Li Fang's magic power surged, and the continuous flow of true essence from his inner cave was condensed in his palm, instantly forming several fire dragons that roared towards Jing Yu.

Jing Yu let out a cold shout, and the [Life Demise and Body Burning] technique instantly went into full power. The strength of the Bitter Crossing Body surged, and he actually tore the fire dragon in front of him apart with his bare hands.

However, the methods of the Cave Heaven Realm also made him feel uncomfortable. The extreme heat caused severe burns to Jing Yu's hands. At this moment, under the powerful self-healing ability of the Bitter Crossing Body, the burned parts are rapidly recovering.

Seeing this, Li Fang's expression darkened, and he abandoned his contempt, saying in a deep voice, "Good lad, you're called Xuanjing Daoist, right? Are you really a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

“Even the Nascent Soul geniuses of the imperial clans of my Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty are powerless against us Cave Heaven Realm cultivators. You actually… It seems the Immortal Dynasty was too conservative with the bounty on you.”

Jing Yu struggled to heal her hands, attempting to repair the Dao injuries left by the [Law of Fire]. Upon hearing this, she sneered:

"You're not bad either, you're also a cultivator in the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm... at least you're much stronger than that [Ying Jun]."

Unexpectedly, Li Fang flew into a rage upon hearing this, saying, "How could someone as talented as me be compared to that good-for-nothing Ying Jun? If he hadn't been born into such a good family, he might not even have reached the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime!"

"Oh? It seems you have some reservations about the imperial family of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty..." Jing Yu was happy to buy time to heal his injuries, his eyes flashing as he casually replied.

"Hey... there are more princes in the Immortal Dynasty than stray dogs on the street. Except for serious crimes such as treason, all descendants of the royal family can obtain titles and stipends, which are hereditary and will never be reduced."

With no way out of this place, Li Fang wasn't afraid that Jing Yu could escape to anywhere else. So, he calmly and sarcastically remarked:

"There are countless useless pieces of trash like Ying Jun on Shending Star. These good-for-nothings have taken up countless resources of the Immortal Dynasty, which is why we commoner geniuses are struggling to accumulate enough spiritual energy for cultivation. If we want to improve, we can only fight for it!"

"Why is it that he was born into a life of luxury, while I, who am clearly more talented, have to toil away as a bodyguard for the powerful? Tell me, how can I not hate him?"
