Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 81 Seven Flame Palace

With the help of the Chaos City Lord, Gu Ce arrived at the Primal Secret Realm at an extremely fast speed.

The Primal Secret Realm, Wuchen Continent.

Ian was already here with a squad of guards, waiting for Gu Ce's arrival. Here, each prince had a territory spanning nearly a million square kilometers.

After greeting Ian, Gu Ce went to the manor and entered the virtual universe.

Virtual Universe, Yuxiangshan Primitive Area!

Cultivation mission!

Gu Ce had made ample preparations and purchased many useful supplies in advance.

"Found it! Dangerous mission, Seven Flames Palace!" Gu Ce exclaimed excitedly.

The Seven Flames Palace is located within the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth of the Virtual Universe Company.

This is the place that Nine Swords Venerable reminded him to choose. Gu Ce speculated that there should be some opportunities suitable for him here, such as the Blood Crystal of the Blood World, or the Inheritance Temple of Demon Mountain.

Gu Ce began to look up the information about the Seven Flames Palace.

The Seven Flames Palace ranks second in mortality rate among dangerous missions, second only to Visca.

The Seven Flames Palace is a magical place born from the secret realm of heaven and earth. It is located in the void and its shape is like a natural palace that is completely integrated. Its diameter is nearly 9 billion kilometers, about one-tenth of a light-year. It has nurtured countless special life forms and hides countless rare treasures.

The Seven Flames Palace is home to countless powerful beings. Although they are not of the same race, they have developed their own unique languages, cultures, and cultivation civilizations.

Among them, there are seven immortal beings in the Seven Flames Palace, who are called the Seven Gods by the creatures living in the Seven Flames Palace. They guard the core of the Seven Flames Palace and prohibit all living beings from entering it.

Note: Most of the beings in the Seven Flames Palace are extremely hostile to outsiders, so it is best not to bring any technological items into the palace.

Seven Flames Palace Cultivation Mission:

1. Obtain 1 million Fire Coins (the exclusive currency of the Seven Flames Palace). Success will earn you 100 points.

2. Obtain any type of Sacred Flame (a specialty of the Seven Flames Palace). Success will grant 10 points. (Note: 99.9% of those who accept the Seven Flames Palace quest will complete the first quest.)

Once either task is completed, the cultivation mission is considered successfully completed.

"drop."

"Please confirm acceptance of the Seven Flames Palace cultivation mission."

"Received successfully."

"Please fill in your departure time. The Virtual Universe Company will arrange a spaceship to take you to the Seven Flames Palace."

……

"The Star-Eating Grass is still undergoing transformation; it will take some time before it can fully reach the World Lord level," Gu Ce calculated.

The Seven Flames Palace allows auxiliary plant life to appear, and they have many such life forms there. The appearance of the Star-Eating Grass is not particularly special.

With his current strength, dealing with the Domain Lord level beings within the Seven Flames Palace shouldn't be a problem. As long as he doesn't encounter any World Lord level beings, everything will be fine. In fact, if he does encounter a World Lord level being, some weaker World Lords might not be his match.

"In that case, let's set off immediately," Gu Ce decided.

Back on Earth, Gu Ce spent over 4 points to buy hundreds of Heavenly Ice Evolution Fruits, cultivating his Ice Evolution Body to the third level, achieving a fourfold increase in physical strength.

At the same time, he used his points to buy the remaining two volumes of "Tianmo Bingyan".

This secret technique can increase the body's strength by up to eight times, but it requires millions of points.

Fortunately, Gu Ce still had more than three million Chaos Units inherited from the Lord of the Ice Wasteland Realm, which would be enough even if he converted them all into points.

The Ice-Evolving Fruit of the End of the Sky is not sold outside the world; it can only be purchased through the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company. The points required to cultivate to the fourth level of the Ice-Evolving Body are even more exorbitant.

The points required to reach the fourth level are 108 million.

After deducting all of Gu Ce's points and spending a considerable amount of Hunyuan units to exchange for more points, he barely met the requirements for cultivating the fourth level.

However, the improvement of the fourth level of the Ice Body is also significant, reaching a 6-fold increase in body size.

It's fair to say that Gu Ce is currently lacking in points!

"I'm almost done with the fourth level of the Ice Body Technique," Gu Ce murmured. "It should be in the next few days. After I finish, I'll go to the Seven Flames Palace to complete their cultivation mission and see if I can find any opportunities within the Seven Flames Palace!"

……

Seven days have passed.

The spaceship sent by the Virtual Universe Company has arrived above the manor where Gu Ce is located.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Gu Ce's figure transformed into a streak of light and entered the spaceship.

"Your Highness, the Seven Flames Palace is located in the Heavenly Secret Realm. It takes about a month to get there from here," a woman with long dark red hair, two small pointed horns on her head, and a long, thin tail on her back said to Gu Ce.

"Hmm." Gu Ce nodded slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

After the birth of his two children, Gu Ce felt a slight change in his heart, as if his identity had changed from that of a child to a father, and his state of mind seemed to be subtly elevated as well.

Although he didn't spend much time with the two children, Gu Ce realized something. This was different from his feelings for Gu Hesheng and the others. For his own children, it was a different kind of love and desire to protect them.

A mind as clear as a mirror!

With this understanding, Gu Ce gained insight into his inner world.

"Absolute True Self," reaching its pinnacle!

A spiritual transformation can happen in an instant. After Gu Ce figured out some things, the transformation happened naturally.

When Gu Ce opened his eyes again, the feeling he gave was different.

This change only occurs when one becomes more determined in their chosen path and confronts their own inner self.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

"Your Highness, we have arrived." A soft and alluring female voice sounded in my ear.

Gu Ce raised his head and looked out of the spaceship.

What appeared before them was a huge mountain suspended in the void. From its shape, one could vaguely make out the appearance of a palace. From the outside, the most conspicuous feature was the seven tall pillars supporting the four corners of the palace.

Seven Flames Palace!

With a diameter of about one-tenth of a light-year, it is home to countless creatures, and Gu Ce is already eager to try it out.

"Your Highness, to enter the Seven Flames Palace, you must first register your identity at the nearby Flame Phoenix Mountain," the woman beside him said.

"Okay." Gu Ce nodded, indicating that he understood.

They took out the Ice Wasteland spaceship and quickly headed towards a fiery red mountain outside the Seven Flames Palace.

Yanhuang Mountain is the territory of a peak-level King-level being in the Virtual Universe Company. Similar to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, Yanhuang Mountain is responsible for guarding the area outside the Seven Flames Palace.

In terms of strength, the Flame Phoenix King is slightly stronger than the Silver Moon King and the True Evolution King, and is comparable to the Heavenly Feather King who guards the Demon Mountain.

The Ice Wasteland spaceship entered the interior of Flame Phoenix Mountain. Led by the staff, Gu Ce quickly arrived at a grand hall. In the very center of the hall sat a man about five meters tall with sharp eyes like an eagle and a pair of fiery red wings growing from his back.

Flame Phoenix King!
