Chapter 1 Jiang Xuan's Choice

Jiang Xuan headed towards the direction of the various immortal palaces. The closer he got, the more chaotic the surrounding space-time became. However, this was not a cause for concern, as the disordered space-time could not impede his progress.

"It seems this True God didn't specialize in space-time," Jiang Xuan thought. If it were a True God who specialized in the Great Dao Laws of space-time, then it might not have been so easy for Jiang Xuan to approach. But even so, this chaotic space-time was enough to block the path of most living beings. Without the cultivation of a Realm King, one would only get lost within it. Even a Realm King would find it extremely difficult to approach the immortal palaces.

Soon, however, Jiang Xuan arrived in the void where the immortal palaces were located. Then, he split off a clone and headed towards one of the immortal palaces, which was the size of a mountain.

When his clone touched the heavenly gate of the immortal palace, a black demonic light shot out directly from within the immortal palace, aiming straight for the center of Jiang Xuan's clone's brow, seeking to kill it with a single blow.

Clang!

But even though it was just a clone, it possessed a portion of Jiang Xuan's strength. That attack was enough to threaten an ordinary Lower Heavenly Venerate, but it could not threaten his clone.

In particular, his Reincarnation True Body (a cultivation technique) mainly cultivated the Nine Nether Hound precious technique (Jiu You Hao bao shu), unparalleled in killing, so it could naturally block it easily.

"Mountain-like immortal palaces, capable of threatening ordinary Lower Heavenly Venerates, so does that mean there are Heavenly Venerate-level opportunities within?"

Jiang Xuan's own realm was also Lower Heavenly Venerate, but his foundation was extremely strong. He also mastered three of the Ten Ferocious precious techniques (Shi Xiong bao shu), as well as many extraordinary methods, so his strength among Heavenly Venerates was top-notch.

"However, this place faintly forms an array. Forcing my way in might trigger an even stronger backlash." Jiang Xuan also had some comprehension of formations and could faintly perceive that the immortal palaces in this void had some kind of connection to each other.

Just now, Jiang Xuan had only probed slightly, so only the power of one immortal palace had erupted. But if he forced his way in, it was likely to trigger unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan did not force his way in. Instead, he began searching this remnant world to see if there were any records that would tell him how to enter this remnant world.

With his divine sense, even though the space-time here was chaotic, it was quickly explored. Or perhaps the True God who opened this place didn't intend to hide anything, originally wanting to leave opportunities for those who came later.

"Rewards based on the degree of completion of the trials?"

In the records that Jiang Xuan found, there were some records of the trials. There were many trials in this remnant, and the more trials one completed, the higher the level of immortal palace one could enter.

These immortal palace trials were divided into three levels, which also corresponded to the levels of the immortal palaces. Immortal palaces could be divided into four levels. The first level was naturally that star-like immortal palace, the second level was mountain-sized, and then there were the third and fourth levels.

As long as one passed any kind of third-level trial, one could freely enter the fourth-level immortal palaces and have one chance to enter a third-level immortal palace. Thereafter, each additional trial completed would grant one more chance to enter a third-level immortal palace.

As for the second and first-level immortal palaces, it was the same. Each completed trial would grant one chance to enter the immortal palace.

After understanding the rules clearly, Jiang Xuan randomly chose a third-level trial site according to the guidance. The trial there was to create a supreme divine martial art. This trial was very simple for Jiang Xuan, or rather, it was very simple for Heavenly Venerates.

However, this was only the initial trial. Apart from Heavenly Venerates, it was estimated that no other living beings could pass it. Moreover, even if one completed this trial, one would only have one chance to enter a third-level immortal palace.

"But if it's always trials of creating techniques, am I considered cheating?" Jiang Xuan thought. Whether it was created by oneself, the True God's methods would naturally have a way to distinguish it. But Jiang Xuan was different. His supreme divine martial arts were all derived from the techniques of other worlds. To a certain extent, they were indeed considered to be created by him.

And a complete supreme divine martial art would allow him to enter a third-level immortal palace once. If it was always this kind of trial similar to creating techniques, he would be taking a big advantage. After all, he had many supreme divine martial arts, and it was impossible for the True God to distinguish that his techniques came from other worlds. This also led to this trial being the simplest for Jiang Xuan.

However, Jiang Xuan's mouth was always good at jinxing things. This trial did not go as he wished. He went to another trial site, where the trial was to test strength, fighting against a phantom transformed by a formation, requiring the strength to reach the Heavenly Venerate level.

And at the third trial site, the trial changed again. It was a test of the strength of the divine soul, also requiring it to reach the Heavenly Venerate level. These three trials were basically not difficult for Heavenly Venerates, but for those below Heavenly Venerate, the difficulty was very high.

Of course, creating a supreme divine martial art was still the most difficult. As for strength and divine soul strength reaching the Heavenly Venerate level, there would still be some powerful Realm Kings or Great Realm Kings who could do it.

But reaching this level would still only allow one to enter the third-level immortal palace, which was obviously not what Jiang Xuan wanted. Although according to this difficulty, the third-level immortal palace might have opportunities comparable to the Heavenly Venerate level, they would definitely be the most ordinary ones, which were not of much use to Jiang Xuan. At least he would be somewhat interested in the second-level immortal palaces.

After that, Jiang Xuan found the second-level trial sites according to the records. The content of the trials was similar, but the difficulty had increased a lot.

For example, the strength trial and the divine soul strength trial directly jumped from reaching the Heavenly Venerate level to being comparable to top Heavenly Venerates. And the trial of creating techniques required creating two supreme divine martial arts.

Moreover, the two supreme divine martial arts created could not be the same as before. This meant that if one wanted to enter the second-level immortal palace, apart from the two methods of strength or divine soul strength, one could only choose to create three different supreme divine martial arts!

Not to mention the Realm King level, even Heavenly Venerates would find it as difficult as ascending to the heavens to meet this requirement. It was better to let him increase his strength and slowly reach the other two standards.

Of course, except for Jiang Xuan, these three trials were still simple for Jiang Xuan.

After passing the trials, Jiang Xuan also entered three second-level immortal palaces. He could take away one opportunity from these three heavenly palaces at will. However, over the long years, some Heavenly Venerates had completed the second-level trials, and there were very few opportunities in the three immortal palaces. Jiang Xuan had very few choices.

Of course, at least the opportunities in each immortal palace were at the top Heavenly Venerate level, which could be completely used as a foundation.

After that, Jiang Xuan went directly to the first-level trial site. The trials here were similar to before, but the difficulty was even greater.

For example, the strength trial required reaching the battle strength of a True God level. Jiang Xuan was still somewhat lacking in this, and he didn't want to get injured here. After all, he still had to explore the Dark Abyss later, so he directly gave up on this trial.

As for the divine soul trial, it also required reaching the True God level. Jiang Xuan met this requirement, because this trial did not require reaching the divine soul strength of a True God in the Divine Cultivation system.

And the technique creation trial was divided into two categories. One was to create three supreme divine martial arts, and the second was to create a half-step True God-level technique. The former still could not be the same, which meant that to complete the three levels of technique creation trials, one had to create six supreme divine martial arts.

For other Heavenly Venerates, this was almost impossible. Ordinary Heavenly Venerates could only create one supreme divine martial art, and top Heavenly Venerates who could create two or three were considered amazing. Six supreme divine martial arts represented six Daos that could achieve Heavenly Venerate status, and they had to be comprehended by one person. The difficulty could be imagined.

As for half-step True God-level techniques, they were also not easy to create, and the difficulty was no less than the former. This first-level trial seemed to be specially designed to make things difficult for people.

True God-level battle strength, True God-level divine soul, three supreme divine martial arts or a half-step True God-level technique, the entire Thirty-Three Heavens could not find many living beings who met these requirements. Here, they were actually being used as trials!

"No wonder those Heavenly Venerates can't take them away."

Jiang Xuan thought, how could any normal Heavenly Venerate meet the difficulty of these trials? It was estimated that it would be difficult to find even one in the Thirty-Three Heavens!

Even Jiang Xuan could only complete two of these trials, and that was still by luck. If it were other Heavenly Venerates, even if their strength was not inferior to Jiang Xuan's, or even if the Goddream Heavenly Venerate, that kind of top Heavenly Venerate, came, it was estimated that they would have no way to deal with the first-level trials.

"Making it so difficult, I hope you left some good things."

Jiang Xuan entered the first-level immortal palace. He had passed two first-level trials, so he could take away two kinds of opportunities from this immortal palace.

The first-level immortal palace was like a star, vast and ethereal. This was a place that few living beings had been able to set foot in since ancient times. Stepping into it, all kinds of strange powers surged, like a surging tide!

In this strange power, Jiang Xuan could also sense several layers of rules, including the Divine Realm Heavenly Dao rules that he was most familiar with!

"Not just one kind of Heavenly Dao rule, this True God seems to be not simple." Jiang Xuan thought, normal True Gods all comprehended the Heavenly Dao rules of one universe, thus transcending and becoming gods.

But in this immortal palace, Jiang Xuan could sense another two kinds of energy no less than the Divine Realm Heavenly Dao rules. This showed that the master of this immortal palace had at least comprehended the Heavenly Dao rules of three of the Thirty-Three Heavens, and had reached the level of transcending and becoming a god!

In Jiang Xuan's memory, the master of the Asura Road had done similar things in the past, but the master of the Asura Road was even more perverted, reincarnating thirty-three times, one godhood per lifetime, comprehending all the Heavenly Dao rules of the Thirty-Three Heavens. Each lifetime achieved True God status, and in the end, the thirty-three lifetimes merged, truly exceeding the boundaries of True Gods!

This True God had likely also wanted to take the same path as the master of the Asura Road, but unfortunately, the great calamity came too quickly. He only comprehended the Heavenly Dao of three heavens before dying in the great calamity.

But even so, it could not deny his strength. Being able to reach the level of a True God in the three heavens, his strength was definitely not comparable to ordinary True Gods. At least he was a top existence among True Gods.
