Dayan Imperial Capital, a palace hidden underground.
This palace is incredibly magnificent, with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, resplendent and opulent. Though built underground, the presence of numerous luminous pearls and other treasures embedded in the ceiling keeps the palace as bright as day.
At this moment, in a room within the palace, more than a dozen people are watching the True Dragon competition of the Hidden Dragon Conference through the Profound Light Mirror.
As the competition concluded and the True Dragon was revealed, the expressions of these people varied. Some were sighing, some shaking their heads, some were disdainful, and some were resentful...
"An excellent invincible seed, whether it's True Yuan, strength, speed, soul, Intent Domain, Domain, Path of slaughter... all surpassing the same generation. It can be brought into the Heavenly Palace, adding another layer of assurance to our plan!"
Suddenly, a person sitting at the front, whose appearance was indistinguishable under a black robe, spoke.
His voice was equally bizarre, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.
As this person spoke, although everyone had different expressions, in the end, they all agreed!
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
Simply because the one speaking was none other than the Vice Palace Master, a figure second only to one and above thousands...
It is said that his strength has reached the Eighth Level of the Unity Realm Stage, a true master of the Kunlun Ruins.
As long as the Heavenly Palace Master doesn't appear, he represents invincibility!
And the people behind the Vice Palace Master are not only high-ranking figures of the Heavenly Palace but also representatives of various top-grade forces of the Kunlun Void.
Among the sect representatives are: Dragon Elephant Sect, Lingxiao Sword Sect, Myriad Forms Sect, Carefree Gate...
Among the family representatives are: Chen Family, Xuanyuan Family, Wang Family, Ye Family...
The major figures from the top forces of the Kunlun Ruins all have different identities within the Heavenly Palace, revealing the terrifying nature of this organization!
The reason they displayed disdain or resentment towards Mu Jinyu's performance in the Profound Light Mirror was none other than Mu Jinyu's sudden rise, stepping on their younger generation!
Preventing Xuanyuan Qianqiu and others from winning the Dragon Head Leader!
Therefore, they naturally don't like someone like Mu Jinyu, who is a commoner with no force behind him.
Were it not that those who died in the Hidden Dragon Conference were also commoners like Ye Wushuang and Li Zhexiong, if Xuanyuan Qianqiu, Chen Huaiyu had also died at Mu Jinyu's hands...
Even if the Vice Palace Master decided to invite Mu Jinyu to join the Heavenly Palace, they certainly wouldn't agree easily!
"Alright."
After the others agreed, the Vice Palace Master took out a black jade slip and tapped it a few times gently.
Afterward, those present saw two men in black steps forward before Mu Jinyu in the Profound Light Mirror and took him away.
"You all may leave now."
After seeing Mu Jinyu being taken away, the Vice Palace Master spoke to the crowd.
"Yes."
Everyone responded respectfully and then left the room.
The Vice Palace Master, on the other hand, sat there gently knocking on the table, quietly waiting for Mu Jinyu to arrive.
...
When Mu Jinyu decided to leave with the two people from the Heavenly Palace, he just glanced at Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, then shook his head slightly and left.
Suspecting that Jian Ruyan might also be from the Heavenly Palace and deliberately trying to avoid it, Mu Jinyu naturally refrained from talking to them, lest Jian Ruyan be discovered by people from the Heavenly Palace.
Jian Ruyan understood his intention, so she quietly left the vicinity of Hidden Dragon Square with Wen Rou.
...
Following the man in the black robe around, Mu Jinyu soon arrived at the palace beneath the Dayan Imperial City.
Looking at the palace built below, incredibly magnificent and opulent, he muttered to himself, 'It's named the Heavenly Palace, yet it's built underground. It should be called the Underground Palace instead.'
Soon, Mu Jinyu stood outside a room on the highest floor of this palace.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A man in a black robe stepped forward and gently knocked on the wooden door made with top-grade Spirit Wood.
"Let him come in."
A strange voice quickly sounded from within the room, devoid of emotion.
The two men in black turned and left without a word.
Mu Jinyu felt slightly uneasy, sensing an inexplicable eeriness.
But considering the situation of Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, he had no choice and finally mustered the courage to open the door.
"Creak."
As the wooden door opened, a chilling and sinister aura immediately poured out from the room.
Even though Mu Jinyu now possessed a cultivation of the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm and his physical body had been refined to the power of the Seven Images, with exceptionally vigorous Qi-Blood, he couldn't help but feel an icy chill that pierced through his bones.
This was because the opponent's strength was too powerful, coupled with practicing Yin Attribute cultivation techniques, so even an inadvertent leak of a trace of Dao Rhyme was unbearable.
As goosebumps rose on Mu Jinyu's skin, the black-robed man sitting with his back to him seemed to notice Mu Jinyu's discomfort.
Suddenly, the cold, piercing aura vanished without a trace.
Feeling much better, Mu Jinyu even started doubting if the discomfort moments ago was merely his illusion.
Mu Jinyu, in a state of wonder, looked up to see the person inside the room.
There was only one person, also dressed in a wide black robe, making it impossible to distinguish age or gender, sitting with their back to him.
"Young man, welcome to the Heavenly Palace."
As Mu Jinyu was assessing the person in the black robe, they turned around to face him.
Mu Jinyu saw an elderly face full of wrinkles, like sun-dried orange peel.
The elder looked at Mu Jinyu with a hint of appreciation in their eyes, directly getting to the point: "You should have heard of the rules of the Heavenly Palace's Blessing, right?"
Mu Jinyu nodded.
The elder smiled and said, "If you're willing to join the Heavenly Palace, whether it's a Heaven Rank Technique, a Secret Heavenly Rank Art, or even any enemy you can't handle, the Heavenly Palace can help you resolve them."
Mu Jinyu noticed that the elder didn't waste words, so he directly asked, "I want to ask, it's said the Heavenly Palace has various Forbidden Secret Techniques not available outside and complete versions of techniques that are incomplete outside. Is it true?"
"It's true." The elder nodded and casually said, "Just like the 'Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art' you're cultivating, our Heavenly Palace's Scripture Pavilion has the complete 'Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture'! It is the most authentic of the Five Emperors' Ancient Scriptures! Apart from our Heavenly Palace, no one else in the world has the complete version."
Upon hearing the elder's casual words, Mu Jinyu's heart skipped a beat.
'Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture'!
Indeed, based on his findings from the 'Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique' and 'Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture,' he deduced that the 'Green Emperor's Wooden Palace' might have a more complete 'Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture,' which proved to be correct.
This Heavenly Palace indeed possessed the 'Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture.'
And that the elder could recognize his cultivation technique at a glance was indeed terrifying!
In an instant, Mu Jinyu's desire for the 'Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture' made him want to agree to the elder's offer, the desired Heavenly Palace's Blessing, his longing was just that!
But he ultimately restrained himself.
Then, Mu Jinyu solemnly asked, "I don't want that... what I want to know is, does the Heavenly Palace have a solution for the aftereffects of the Soul Snatching Secret Technique!"
