Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 54 Void Heaven Palace

Soon after, three ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays were erected in remote areas of the sea near Huangming Island, Kuixing Island, and Biling Island.

From then on, Chen Liang and his second clone could freely travel between the inner and outer seas using these three teleportation arrays.

Years later, Chen Liang on Biling Island heard a distant, melodious bell sound, and then he felt something unusual coming from his storage bag.

When he took out the fragment of the Void Heaven Map that he had obtained from the Yue Emperor, a pointer-shaped beam of light appeared on it, pointing straight in a certain direction.

This means that the first secret realm of the Chaotic Star Sea—the Void Heaven Palace—has been opened.

So Chen Liang took all his spirit pets and used the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to arrive near Huangming Island.

Here, the second clone transformed into a form that resembled Chen Liang's original body by about seven-tenths and followed behind Chen Liang.

From now on, he is temporarily Chen Liang's twin brother.

Then, the two of them rode the Wind-Splitting Shuttle straight towards the Void Heaven Palace.

On the other side, all the cultivators in Tianxing City also heard the distant bell tolling as the Void Heaven Palace opened.

Jin Qing, Hu Yue, and Jian Ming were drinking together when they heard the distant chime of the bell and their faces lit up with longing.

Previously, based on some clues, they found the deserted island where Chen Liang released the Xuan Bone. Seeing that the seal on the island had been broken, they thought that someone else had gotten there first and were immediately annoyed, unaware that they had already avoided a fatal calamity.

Now that the signal for the opening of the first secret realm of the Chaotic Star Sea is clearly visible before their eyes, how could they not feel longing for it?

Unfortunately, not everyone can obtain the Void Heaven Remnant Map; Jin Qing, Hu Yue, and Jian Ming are clearly not qualified.

Just as they were thinking of inviting their neighbor Han Li for a drink, little did they know that Han Li, who had unexpectedly obtained a fragment of the Void Heaven Map, had already embarked on the road to the Void Heaven Palace.

After Han Li refined his natal magic weapon, he went out to hunt demons. During this time, he killed a Core Formation cultivator who wanted to kill him and steal his treasure, and that's how he obtained this precious fragment of the Void Heaven Map.

In addition, having heard about the deeds of the Void Heaven Palace from Jin Qing, Han Li rushed over as soon as he discovered the strangeness of the Void Heaven Remnant Map.

In just half a day, Chen Liang and his second clone arrived at the final location indicated by the incomplete map of the Void in their hands.

Here, the pointer-shaped aura of the illusory sky map flickered erratically before pointing straight upwards.

When Chen Liang and his second clone looked up, they saw that the clouds above had parted slightly, revealing a giant palace complex suspended in the sky.

As you can see, there is a reflection-like light curtain above this palace complex, from which beams of light hang down, allowing this golden palace complex to be suspended in the sky.

This is the Void Heaven Palace, a secret realm jointly established by several ancient top-level experts, dedicated to providing future generations with training and opportunities.

Among them, the leading Ice Soul Fairy's cultivation level is already close to the Void Refinement stage.

Soon, Chen Liang and his second clone transformed into two streaks of gray-blue light that shot straight into the sky, officially ascending to the Void Heaven Palace.

In front of the main gate of the Void Heaven Palace, Chen Liang and his second clone looked up at the plaque above.

Among them, the three large characters "Xu Tian Dian" written in ancient seal script radiated a dazzling light. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage might be injured if they stared at them for too long.

However, this only applies to Core Formation cultivators. Chen Liang and his second clone, who are Nascent Soul cultivators, can look at them directly.

After observing the facade of the Void Heaven Palace for a while, Chen Liang and his second clone went inside.

After climbing several long staircases, Chen Liang and his second clone finally arrived at a grand hall filled with stone pillars.

These stone pillars varied in height, and a few people stood on them, but there was not a single Nascent Soul cultivator in the area.

Even when Chen Liang and his second clone entered the hall, because of the concealed aura around them, the Core Formation cultivators in the room thought that the newcomer was also a Core Formation cultivator.

It wasn't until Chen Liang and his second clone chose a relatively high stone pillar to stand on that the Core Formation cultivators in the arena began to look at Chen Liang and his second clone with some suspicion.

This grand hall of stars is protected by strict divine sense restrictions. As long as the cultivators gathered here deliberately conceal their figures, almost no one can identify their identities.

The intention was clearly to encourage weaker cultivators to enter the Void Heaven Palace at the same time as their powerful enemies, so that they would not miss out on a great opportunity due to their temporary weakness.

However, this also brings some inconveniences. For example, if cultivators do not deliberately reveal their aura, no one can tell how strong they are.

Core Formation cultivators might inadvertently provoke Nascent Soul cultivators.

Therefore, in this Hall of Stars, Core Formation cultivators generally act with caution. Moreover, they consciously avoid the taller stone pillars to avoid being driven away by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Chen Liang's actions with his second clone are tantamount to revealing his identity, indicating that at least one of them is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Chen Liang and his second clone ignored the whispers of the Core Formation cultivators. Chen Liang was pondering his plans for this trip, while his second clone casually surveyed the distribution of the stone pillars in the arena.

These stone pillars are arranged in a staggered manner, seemingly concealing a hidden mystery.

After a while, the second clone actually gleaned some insights. If his calculations were correct, a relatively low stone pillar would undergo a very interesting transformation soon.

So the second clone flew straight towards the stone pillar, and Chen Liang glanced at it, knowing what the second clone was planning, so he quickly looked away.

Not long after, another Nascent Soul cultivator arrived.

It was a female cultivator dressed in a black robe adorned with numerous gold ornaments, wielding a phoenix sword. Upon seeing her, many Core Formation cultivators around her exclaimed in surprise, "It's Madam Wen from White Jade Mountain! Her husband is none other than that Six Paths Supreme Saint..."

Hearing the whispers around her, Madam Wen felt a surge of anger. A burst of Nascent Soul level aura erupted, startling the surrounding Core Formation cultivators into silence, wondering what they had done to offend this Nascent Soul female cultivator.

Then, Madam Wen glanced at Chen Liang, who was standing the tallest in the room, and without saying a word, chose to stand on a stone pillar that was only slightly lower.

Just as Madam Wen drew her Phoenix Sword and was lovingly stroking it, Chen Liang proactively transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Bai, are you interested in the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wen abruptly stopped stroking her sword.

She raised her head and, for the first time, seriously examined the young male cultivator in front of her, who was dressed in a robe of five colors—gray, blue, gold, black, and white—with silver scale armor underneath.

Mrs. Wen: "You have?"

Chen Liang: "I have it."

Mrs. Wen: "What do you want?"

Chen Liang: "Fellow Daoist, you'll understand at a glance."

After saying that, Chen Liang used his spiritual power to send a storage bag to Madam Wen.

After receiving it with her spiritual power, Madam Wen probed into it with her divine sense.

The first thing that caught Lady Wen's eye was some branches and leaves of golden thunder bamboo. Because they were properly sealed, the broken pieces on them still retained their vitality even after decades.

This situation greatly excited Madam Wen, who was usually aloof and reserved, and a clear look of joy appeared on her face.

But then, one of the books made Madam Wen's face darken, and an undisguised murderous intent even appeared on her face.

She stood up, glared at Chen Liang, and said directly, "You brat! Do you want to die?!"

Chen Liang continued to transmit his voice, "Fellow Daoist, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Chen Liang, and I come from the Tiannan Continent, tens of millions of miles away in the Chaotic Star Sea."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wen's anger momentarily froze.

Then, her expression shifted between light and shadow as she continued telepathically, "The Southern Continent? Are you trying to deceive me?"

Chen Liang: "Fellow Daoist Bai, there are other things in that storage bag. You'll know as soon as you see it."
