Chapter 5437About half an hour later, the sound of breaking air could be heard from the distant sky. The previously departed golden-armored guards returned, accompanied by two cultivators with even more powerful auras.The leader, clad in silver armor and with a resolute expression, wore a token inscribed with the words “Divine King Palace” at his waist, clearly the leader of the golden-armored guards.“The Fourth Palace Master has ordered us to bring him into the palace.”The silver-armored commander said in a deep voice. His gaze scanned David’s injuries, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. To be able to withstand the backlash of the Heavenly Dao from two realms with the cultivation of a second-grade Earthly Immortal and still survive—such resilience is truly rare. Read full story at Find[ɴ]ovel.netTwo golden-armored guards stepped forward, carefully helping David to his feet and supporting him by the arm as he stepped onto the flying magical instrument.The magical weapon transformed into a streak of golden light, streaking towards the sky.David looked down, beholding the grasslands below him, spreading like a green velvet carpet. Mountains rose and fell in the distance. The immortal aura was so dense it seemed almost tangible, a stark contrast to the utter silence and darkness of the Sixth Heaven.After approximately an hour of flight, the outline of a magnificent palace gradually emerged from the misty clouds ahead.Constructed entirely of white jade, its roof covered in golden glazed tiles, it shimmered in the sunlight. Countless sacred runes swirled across the walls, emanating an aura of subjugating majesty.Nine golden pillars of light surrounded the palace, piercing the heavens. Golden-armored guards could be vaguely seen patrolling between the pillars, a terrifying presence.“That’s the Divine King Palace,”The golden-armored guard beside him whispered, his tone filled with barely concealed awe. “Since the Ancient Divine War, the Divine King Palace has been the sacred ground of the Eighth Heaven, jointly ruled by four hall masters, who safeguard the temple’s legacy.”A magical instrument slowly descended upon the square in front of the Divine King Palace. In its center stood a massive statue, clad in imperial robes and holding a scepter. Its gaze gazed majestically down upon all who knew it: the ancestor of the ancient Divine Temple.Supported by the golden-armored guards, David crossed the square. With each step he took on the white jade tiles engraved with runes, he felt a gentle force envelop his body, easing his pain somewhat.Passing through the layers of palace gates, they arrived at a grand hall known as the “Qingxu Hall.”A woman stood before the hall’s gate. Seeing her, the silver-armored commander stopped and bowed respectfully toward the hall. “Miss Yunxiu, Sixth Heaven cultivator David has been brought here. Please report to the Fourth Hall Master.”.David glanced at Yunxiu and was instantly overjoyed. After all, they were old acquaintances, and Yunxiu had even saved him.“Miss Yunxiu, how are you?”David said with a broad grin.Seeing David like this, Yunxiu was somewhat surprised and said, “Your strength has increased rather rapidly. You’ve already reached the Second Stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.”“Miss Yunxiu, you’re joking. Compared to you, my strength is far from impressive,”noveldramaDavid said with shame.“Don’t be so modest. The Fourth Palace Master knows all about your deeds.”Yunxiu smiled, making it clear that David’s every move was under his watch.David was stunned for a moment, then gave a helpless smile.“Let him in.” A clear, soft female voice echoed from within the hall, like the clash of jade and stone, carrying an inexplicable majesty.Yunxiu waved her hand, and the silver-armored commander left, then slowly walked back in with David.The interior of the hall was extremely spacious. On the high platform in the center stood a white jade chair, on which sat a woman in a light green palace dress.She looked no more than twenty years old, with skin as white as snow, eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as a painting, and a faint green aura lingering around her body. Although she did not release any pressure, she made people feel awe involuntarily – this was the fourth hall master of the Palace of the God King, Ling Xi.Ling Xi’s gaze fell on David, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her clear eyes were full of doubts.She waved her hand and released a green spiritual power, which enveloped David’s body. After a moment, the spiritual power was retracted, and her doubts became even greater: “Nearly half of the meridians in your body are broken, and your soul is eroded by the power of the law. Your cultivation level is only at the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
