Yinshan Record

Chapter 707 The Position of a Loose Immortal Under the Gouchen Palace
"You evil demons and heretics, how dare you offend my Heavenly Court!"

With a roar that shook the universe, the divine general released the dragon in his palm, and immediately billowing crimson flames spread across the area in front of the Western Heavenly Gate, splashing everywhere.

Su Che didn't hold back either. The person in front of him was at least at the Void Step level. Although he didn't know what the true nature of this person was, just looking at his magical power, that one strike he just made almost sent him to meet the Lord of Mount Tai.

He immediately roused himself, took out the Yin-Yang Ink Sword from his hand, set up a sword formation, and displayed his power and prestige, with a magic talisman appearing behind him.

As soon as the Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Talisman was produced, its energy connected with Ruomu's, immediately drawing out the magical power of the three Void Step Ghosts, and Su Che's overall aura rose to a new level.

Swords flashed, and crimson flames blazed like dragons; the two sides clashed, their battle evenly matched.

After exchanging blows for about a dozen rounds, Su Che saw through the problem with the divine general before him.

This person does indeed possess a variety of supernatural abilities, but unfortunately lacks a bit of liveliness, and is more like a clay puppet.

It's probably some kind of defensive measure left here by that predecessor back then.

That's true. If it weren't for such means, this immortal palace suspended in the void would probably have long become a paradise for many demons.

Of course, Su Che wasn't just putting in a lot of effort here. He also secretly used the Spirit Retention and Image Reflection Method from the "Tai Su Jiu You Cheng Zhao Dan Jue" to steal a trace of the divine general's aura for future use.

Not to mention that Su Che also extracted a wisp of energy from the dragon in the divine general's palm. This kind of divine power of evolving spiritual creatures can be used as a reference to find a way out for his unfinished white dragon.

After fighting for a while, Su Che felt that the divine general in front of him was becoming more and more powerful and spiritual. At first, he seemed a little dull, but as the fight went on, the spirit in his eyes became more and more intense.

"If this continues, won't he just get stronger with each fight? It seems we'll have to use our trump card."

Su Che was about to use his mystical methods to capture those unlucky fellows on the Ruomu tree to help him with the profound technique of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" when something else happened before he could even make a move.

Suddenly, someone spoke loudly beside me.

"King Guangmu, do not act. This person is a newly arrived minor immortal in Gouchen Palace. He has not yet received his immortal rank and is not a demon who has broken into this place."

There stood a female fairy dressed in a plain white dress, with her hair styled in a bun, truly possessing fair skin and ethereal beauty.

With his sword held horizontally across his chest, Su Che was momentarily at a loss as to what kind of story was unfolding before him.

Upon hearing this, the divine general stopped and bowed to the person.

"So it is from Gouchen Palace. If there is a talisman, then it is a celestial being from the Heavenly Court."

The deity glanced at Su Che as he spoke, then stood back down at the Western Heavenly Gate.

"Since you are a newly ascended immortal from the lower realm, you should know the rules and laws. This is the Heavenly Court, don't treat it like those worthless places below."

The fairy instructed, "Come with me into the palace and pay your respects to the Emperor first."

Su Che was completely baffled, having no idea what these people were doing. However, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run, and he could roughly guess what was going on.

Within the Huangtian Daoist sect, there exists an extremely profound supernatural power called the Yellow Turban Warrior.

These are illusory divine generals and warriors created by great cultivators using their own cultivation and magical power; they also possess their own magical power.

Back then, there was an Earth Immortal in the Yellow Heaven Path named "Ming Lingzi". It is said that he was proficient in this technique. Once, when he was besieged by the Lord of the End of Dharma and his retinue in the outer void, he immediately conjured up countless Yellow Turban Warriors, which caught the Heavenly Demon off guard.

Legend has it that this secret technique was created by Huang Tiandao Shou back in the ancient Heavenly Court.

Now it seems that the divine generals and fairies before us are all like these Yellow Turban warriors, created "divine beings," stronger than clay puppets, but not living beings.

Could it be that the Zhongyuan Earth Official Emperor was so bored back then that he created a new Heavenly Court for himself?

Looking at the flowers, plants, and trees before him, Su Che couldn't help but have this thought. "These days, you little immortals are becoming more and more unruly. Since you're entering and leaving the Heavenly Court, you should show your magic seals. Otherwise, not only will those divine generals not recognize you, but even we won't recognize you."

As Su Che listened to her talk, he suddenly realized a crucial point.

A talisman?

Could it be related to the Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Record?

Su Che calmed his mind and followed behind the fairy.

All I could hear was her explaining the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly Palace and the origins of each place.

"Further ahead is the Tushita Palace, a sacred place for worshipping the Supreme Dao Ancestor. There is no palace master, but it is worshipped from afar. As disciples of the Xuanmen, when we pass by this place, we should perform the disciple's rites and kowtow to the Dao Ancestor for opening the path of the Dao."

The female immortal bowed respectfully from afar, and Su Che followed suit, bowing carefully as well.

"After passing the Tushita Palace, you will reach the Wuming Palace, which is the seat of the Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable. This person is an incarnation of the Dao Ancestor, but his position is nominal. However, there is no need to pay respects after passing this point."

Su Che looked at the palace in front of him, surrounded by precious and noble spiritual trees. Their roots were like giant clam shells, their trunks like gold and silver, their leaves like amber, and their fruits like glass and agate. They swayed and rustled, and the sound that reached his ears was clear and bright.

Could this be the "Seven Treasures Forest" mentioned in Taoist scriptures?
"Not far past here are the Sun Palace and the Moon Palace, the residences of the Sun and Moon Emperors. Their laws are very strict, unlike the lax rules here. You must be careful when you go there in the future."

Following the guidance of the discount rate, Su Che saw two majestic palaces. One was ablaze with blazing light that scorched the soul, while the other was filled with chilling air, with moonlight condensing like dewdrops.

"Not far past these two places is our Gouchen Palace. You and I will go and pay our respects to the Emperor first."

Su Che compared the scene before him with the descriptions in the Taoist scriptures, and the more he looked, the more astonished he became.

The layout of this celestial palace is exactly the same as that described in the Taoist scriptures.

This Earthly Emperor actually created another Heavenly Court within this void passage.

I really don't know why he did this.

Could it be that we're reminiscing about the past here?
After walking and stopping frequently, we finally arrived at a magnificent palace. In front of the palace gate stood two ferocious white tigers, resting with their eyes closed.

Above the heavy black palace gate, the four characters "Gouchen Shangyuan" are written horizontally.

"Our Gouchen Palace is in charge of the five weapons in the Heavenly Court. It is the hall of war and all conquests are under our command. The Emperor holds the True Spirit Position Map and has the power to summon all immortals. Since you have cultivated the Gouchen Dharma, you should know these things."

The fairy pointed towards the gate as she spoke.

"You should reveal your celestial register first."

Su Che looked around at the furnishings and the two white tigers with their eyes closed, and wondered to himself, "Could this be an ambush set up to trick me?"
But upon further reflection, if there were truly thousands of demons here, they would have already subdued him upon arrival. Why bother with so much effort?

Perhaps this is the rule of this Heavenly Palace.

While being careful, Su Che released the Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Talisman, and its moon-white light immediately shone on the palace gate.

"There is an immortal who has cultivated diligently in the mortal realm, mastering the Five Elements and establishing his position. Now he ascends to the Heavenly Court, and in accordance with its laws, he illuminates the entire heavens and returns to the Gouchen Palace. He is hereby appointed as a wandering immortal. This decree is hereby issued by the Upper Court of Gouchen."

A Daoist voice resonated and echoed throughout the Heavenly Palace.

With a creak, the heavy palace gate in front of Su Che slowly opened.

A chilling aura swept over us.
