Chen Yuan cautiously surveyed his surroundings, his brow furrowing slightly.

He couldn't discern any changes in his surroundings; everything was a void, as if he were in a dream. But before Chen Yuan could ponder further, the chaotic scene before him suddenly shifted.

It transformed into a scene, like a holographic projection. He saw a man with a blurred face practicing swordsmanship in a mountain. His swordplay was clumsy and ordinary.

However, what truly piqued Chen Yuan's interest was the mountain surrounding the man, which bore a striking resemblance to the current landscape of Mount Emei.

The scene transitioned rapidly. Chen Yuan watched as the man's swordsmanship gradually improved, as if several years had passed. Eventually, the man descended from Mount Emei and officially entered the Jianghu.

In the Jianghu, the man with the blurred face encountered numerous hardships: oppression, ambushes, betrayals—many calamities beset him, yet he never gave up.

Relying on the sword in his hand, he gradually rose to prominence in the Jianghu.

The scenes changed quickly, sometimes flashing by in an instant. The most prolonged moments were those when the man endured hardships, displaying his indomitable will.

Driven by stubbornness, the man grew rapidly. No matter what difficulties he faced, he shattered them with his sword. The scene then shifted to his breakthrough into the Heavenly Palace Realm.

The more Chen Yuan watched, the more familiar he felt.

The man was very similar to him!

A strange stirring arose within his heart...

Then, the scene before him changed again, this time depicting Chen Yuan's own past experiences.

Starting from Ping'an County, he rose all the way to his current position, encountering almost no setbacks along the way. He had smooth sailing, carving out his own territory with the blade in his hand.

All enemies who stood in his way, regardless of who they were, perished beneath his blade.

Soon, the previous image began to overlap with the scenes he was now witnessing...

Previously, Chen Yuan had already made numerous conjectures and attempted cultivation methods for the Heavenly Palace Realm, but he had always been blocked, as if stuck in a bottleneck.

Faced with this hurdle, Chen Yuan chose to wait...

Because in his heart, he believed that the opportunity indicated by the Destiny Altar could help him, eliminating the need for any risky ventures that could harm his mind. But now, Chen Yuan realized he was wrong.

The Heavenly Palace Realm differed from other realms. Other realms required accumulation, so using the opportunities indicated by the Destiny Altar to improve was fine, but the Heavenly Palace Realm did not need that.

It was a hurdle in the hearts of martial artists.

It had to be overcome by one's own will.

The breakthrough process was different for everyone. That was why both Su Ziyue and Jiang He only offered simple pointers, hoping to avoid leading him astray.

Understanding this, he looked at his tightly clenched fist and smiled freely.

The spirit of martial arts is to advance dauntlessly.

We cultivators should not hesitate to fight!

Then, Chen Yuan closed his eyes directly, his whole body seeming to enter a new state—this was enlightenment!

Within this space, a certain power seemed to permeate, increasing Chen Yuan's comprehension by an unknown number of times. He easily found his weaknesses.

And took action.

Of course, this was also because Chen Yuan's own accumulation was already sufficient; he simply hadn't grasped this point yet.

Now that he was awakened, he naturally achieved enlightenment...

In his perception, he finally saw a bright spot in his mind, like a guiding lamp. He knew that it was the Heavenly Palace acupoint!

His will and spirit gradually coalesced in his eyes.

The path of martial arts is to advance dauntlessly!

At this moment, Chen Yuan finally understood his own heart.

From beginning to end, ever since he transmigrated to this world filled with extraordinary power, his goal had been the pinnacle of martial arts, immortality. He had been working towards this goal all along.

This was his ambition. For this, Chen Yuan had given up almost all leisure time, even abstaining from women, and focused solely on cultivation. Even with the help of the Destiny Altar, he still polished his cultivation and practiced in seclusion whenever he had the time.

It was no exaggeration to say that he had reached where he was today through his own efforts.

Even without the Destiny Altar, he could have reached this point, albeit later.

His goal was the pinnacle, and the Heavenly Palace acupoint was just a small hurdle.

Of course, this was just a possibility. Perhaps without the help of the golden finger, he might have faded into obscurity.

In an instant, a glimmer of light appeared, and his body was surrounded by a strange Dao aura.

Man has a soul, and a fist has a spirit!

Condensing the spirit of martial arts into intent.

Standing there, Chen Yuan looked like a heavenly blade unsheathed, with an astonishing aura.

He had broken through...

He broke through so simply. There was no pouring of vital energy, no surging of blood and Qi. He understood, and then he broke through.

At this moment, the spirit, vital energy, and blood within his body became more harmonious.

His strength would inevitably skyrocket as a result.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally discovered the secret of this space: reflecting oneself, understanding one's heart, and providing great assistance.

If he were in the outside world, he would never have been able to break through so easily.

Mount Emei, he had come to the right place.

After Chen Yuan broke through, the surrounding chaotic airflow changed again, and a heavy and dignified voice echoed in his mind.

"The Dao is empty, yet inexhaustible in its use. It is like the ancestor of all things. It resolves confusion, harmonizes light, and becomes one with dust, appearing to exist yet unfathomable. I do not know whose..."

The sound of the Dao scripture enveloped him from all directions.

At this moment, Chen Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility, as if his entire body had been cleansed and purified, like being灌顶 by immortal spring and guided by an immortal.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

All of his techniques and martial arts flashed through his mind: Abi Dao Three Blades, Dragon's Roar, Wind Riding Art, Supreme Mystery Scripture, Vajra Glazed Body...

He re-examined all these familiar techniques and martial arts.

It was as if he was practicing them again.

Although his cultivation did not increase, his state of mind had improved.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan let out a long breath and opened his eyes. A glint of light flashed across his eyes, and his aura was more condensed, incomparable to the previous day.

Even if he were to wear a Daoist robe, his otherworldly temperament would make many people believe that he was an immortal.

As the Dao scripture faded, Chen Yuan regained his senses.

The void in front of him gradually condensed into a blurry figure, dressed in white, like an immortal. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Chen Yuan could sense that the other person's gaze was fixed on him.

After a moment of thought, he knew that this person should be the owner of the Nameless Heavenly Stele. He immediately sat up from the ground, cupped his fist in salute, and said, "I am grateful for the wonders of the senior's Heavenly Stele, which has further improved my cultivation."

"Heavenly Stele anomaly, Heavenly Scroll gathers fortune."

The white-clothed man's voice was very ethereal.

"May I know the senior's name?"

Chen Yuan raised his head. Although he didn't sense any danger from the person in front of him, he still didn't let his guard down.

"The gate of heaven will open, and the Immortal Realm will descend upon the world."

The figure seemed to lack intelligence. After saying these sixteen words, he slowly disappeared in front of Chen Yuan, causing his brow to furrow slightly.

He hated situations where people didn't explain things clearly, only leaving cryptic phrases.

After that person disappeared, the surrounding chaotic space emitted a series of subtle cracking sounds, like a mirror shattering...

On Heavenly Stele Peak, in front of the Nameless Stele.

Chen Yuan's mind returned, and he opened his eyes.

The Nameless Heavenly Stele in front of him had cracked from top to bottom, as if it had been broken from the inside. He slowly released his hand and examined it carefully from top to bottom.

The stone stele was no longer as bright and mirror-like as before, but was indistinguishable from the ordinary bluestones around it. Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the stone stele, and suddenly exerted force.

The ground rumbled, and Chen Yuan directly pulled up the stone stele.

"It seems that this thing has indeed lost its divinity..." Chen Yuan thought to himself.

He didn't pull the Nameless Heavenly Stele out of the ground, but just did a test.

'Heavenly Stele anomaly, Heavenly Scroll gathers fortune. The gate of heaven will open, and the Immortal Realm will descend upon the world.'

Chen Yuan muttered a few times, but still felt a little confused.

The Heavenly Stele anomaly and the Heavenly Scroll gathering fortune were easy to understand, which should refer to him, the person with fortune, who awakened this Nameless Heavenly Stele.

But the Gate of Heaven is about to open, and the Immortal Realm is coming into being, which is a bit of a prophecy.

Pretending to be mysterious...

This was the evaluation given by Chen Yuan.

He hated this kind of statement, why couldn't anything be said directly?

It had to be so mysterious...

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. The figure clearly lacked intelligence. He guessed that it might just be an image of the former powerhouse who left the Heavenly Stele behind.

The immortal opportunity rumored in the Shu Prefecture 江湖 couldn't just refer to these few words, right?

Shaking his head, Chen Yuan put his thoughts aside and instead focused his attention on himself. In any case, he had come to the right place on this trip.

He finally improved his cultivation to the late stage of Tongxuan, the Heavenly Palace Realm!

Entering this realm also meant that his strength had finally entered the first echelon. Now, even if he faced the top five experts on the Hidden Dragon List,

It's not that he doesn't have a chance to win.

Now he only lacks a handy weapon!

Within his body, the three major Divine Acupoints opened, giving him a sense of perfection, but it was just a feeling. Chen Yuan knew that he was far from reaching that state.

He must achieve Heavenly Palace Perfection before he can start considering the matter of Core Formation.

But how difficult is it to achieve perfection?

Of the late-stage Tongxuan experts that Chen Yuan had met, only a few had reached perfection.

They all cultivated hard for many years before they could fill their divine souls and harmonize their spirits.

As for breaking through without Heavenly Palace Perfection, the consequences would be very tragic.

Wei Xin of Shenxiao Hall had already provided a lesson from the past.

The cultivation of the Heavenly Palace is very different from that of the Tianyuan and Tianxuan. According to what he knew, the cultivation of the Heavenly Palace Realm is mainly aimed at the 'Spirit'.

The Heavenly Palace acupoints must be perfected and the divine soul must be filled.

Either he could continue to cultivate hard and condense his spirit, or he could find rare spiritual objects in the world and swallow them, so that he could increase his cultivation in a short period of time.

And his hope was the opportunity indicated by the Destiny Altar.

For things that require accumulation, the opportunities indicated by the Destiny Altar are the most suitable.

It can save him a lot of time.

It's just that the Sons of Destiny are a little hard to find.

Chen Yuan raised his hand, shook his right arm, and punched out at will.

"Boom!"

A burst sounded in the void, emitting a sonic boom. A heat wave swept out, and in the sunlight, it seemed as if the void was distorted.

The power was even greater than before.

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with the fact that his casual punch could have such power. Sure enough, the Heavenly Palace Realm was the most difficult hurdle in the Tongxuan Realm, and it was also the one that increased strength the most.

Entering the Heavenly Palace Realm truly meant that one had almost reached the peak level of the Tongxuan Realm.

Such an existence, even in a prefecture, was definitely one of the top three experts, like Fahai of Nanling Prefecture, who was almost invincible.

Chen Yuan had personally experienced the power of Jinshan Temple back then.

Even though Tao Qingyuan held the position of Blue Envoy, he did not dare to be rude and presumptuous. In the end, it was only because they had an absolute advantage that they dared to allow Chen Yuan to fight with all his strength.

This shows how terrifying the Heavenly Palace Realm is.

And Chen Yuan is even stronger than ordinary Heavenly Palace Realm experts.

His physical body, true essence, and everything else are in peak condition. Coupled with his fierce sword techniques, it is no exaggeration to say that among the martial artists below the Grandmaster Realm, there are few who are qualified to be his opponents.

He now even has a desire to compete with a Dan Realm Grandmaster.

A few of the top three on the Hidden Dragon List were able to compete with Grandmasters a few years ago. He felt that he should be able to do the same, but he was just thinking about it now.

It was not his style to provoke others.

After calming down his mood on Heavenly Stele Peak, Chen Yuan left through the air, leaving behind the Nameless Heavenly Stele that had turned into an ordinary stone, still standing in its original place.

In fact, when he first saw the Heavenly Stele, he was somewhat cautious and solemn, after all, there were too many legends about this Heavenly Stele, and most of them said that the Heavenly Stele was connected to the earth veins and suppressed a demon.

He couldn't help but be cautious.

After all, the previous Tangshan Buddha was like this, with a ferocious beast underneath.

But now, after truly understanding everything, he knew that rumors should not be completely believed.

The Heavenly Stele has been destroyed, so where does the demon come from?

Of course, the connection to the earth veins was not a rumor. If that Heavenly Stele was so easy to take, it would never have been able to continue to remain on Mount Emei.

In addition to this, Chen Yuan also keenly discovered a problem, which was...

The reason why the vitality of Mount Emei is thin is likely to be related to that Heavenly Stele.

He discovered after climbing Heavenly Stele Peak that the vitality there was almost non-existent.

And after the Heavenly Stele was damaged, the surrounding vitality of heaven and earth began to show some signs of becoming richer...

However, these things have nothing to do with him anymore.

Looking down on Mount Emei, Chen Yuan easily found the location of Yue Shan and others.

"Old Yue, do you think we should go in? Did something happen in the mountain?" Yan Qing asked in a low voice.

The reason why he asked him was because everyone who followed Chen Yuan knew that Yue Shan had the best relationship with the lord. They had known each other before he rose to prominence.

Even Mo Donghe couldn't catch up.

Although Chen Yuan treated them equally, they could still sense some subtle differences.

"With the lord here, what could happen? We should just wait here."

Yue Shan said.

He blindly trusted Chen Yuan. These were all the impressions that Chen Yuan had established. Although the previous anomalies made them a little more energetic, they were not too worried.
