"The Bronze Immortal Palace has been born!"
Nangong Zheng's eyes shot out two astonishing beams of divine light, sharp and resonant, piercing through the sky.
At that moment, Nangong Zheng felt much calmer. The Bronze Immortal Palace had just been created, which meant the treasures in the Divine City of the Northern Region remained unclaimed—a crucial opportunity he was eager to seize.
Immediately, he looked out of the valley and, through the layers of magic arrays, saw the person transmitting the message outside the valley.
She was a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a light purple dress. She was dignified, graceful, and charming, like a fairy on water, and her beauty was beyond compare.At this moment, some memories of the woman in front of him suddenly surfaced in Nangong Zheng's mind.
This woman, named Yun Shu, was a plant spirit that Nangong Zheng had enlightened five hundred years ago. It was also Nangong Zheng who helped her embark on the path of cultivation!
After this woman became a spirit, she voluntarily followed him to repay Nangong Zheng's kindness!
Later, when Nangong Zheng went into seclusion, Yun Shu stayed here to guard him and wait for him to emerge from seclusion!
"Senior!" Yun Shu repeated her voice, her pretty expression showing some anxiety and worry.
"I already know!" Nangong Zheng replied.
Hearing a response from the valley, Yun Shu was overjoyed, even trembling with excitement. Five hundred years had passed, and Nangong Zheng was still alive—this was a miracle and a pleasant surprise.
Because there have been rumors that the supreme human being, Nangong Zheng, passed away five hundred years ago and is no longer in this world.She had not spoken with Nangong Zheng for five hundred years, because Nangong Zheng had long ago instructed that she should not enter the valley to disturb him unless it was a matter of life and death.
Amidst shimmering sunlight and wafting fragrance, Nangong Zheng emerged from the valley and stood in mid-air, appearing before Yun Shu like a banished immortal.
"Senior Nangong!"Yun Shu was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Nangong Zheng, whose hair was as white as snow.
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes as she was excited and happy. This man had given her life and was someone she would respect for the rest of her life.
"Five hundred years of guarding, you've worked hard!" Nangong Zheng smiled slightly, feeling somewhat moved.
Back then, Nangong Zheng casually awakened a plant spirit, endowing it with sentience and passing along some magical techniques to help it embark on the path of cultivation. Little did he expect that it would protect her for a full five hundred years.
It should be noted that the grass spirit Yun Shu is now merely a creature of the Dao Palace Secret Realm. Five hundred years have taken up almost his entire life.
Logically speaking, Yun Shu, a Dao Palace cultivator, should not have lived for more than five hundred years. However, being a plant-based being, and with the special cultivation method passed down by Nangong Zheng, she has been able to live to this day.
"I was fortunate to receive your guidance back then. I would never be where I am today," Yun Shu said earnestly, looking at Nangong Zheng with respect in her bright eyes.
Nangong Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his white hair flowing, and smiled slightly, without saying much.
It must be said that he was exceptionally handsome, with snow-white hair and a unique aura. When Yun Shu saw him, she would occasionally be momentarily lost in thought."You stay here and keep watch over Changsheng Valley. I'm going out for a bit!" After a moment of silence, Nangong Zheng looked at Yun Shu, seemingly lost in thought.
Changsheng Valley is Nangong Zheng's residence!
The name of this mansion also reveals his past ambitions. He truly deserves to be called the man who fought for immortality in the second generation of the game!
"Senior, are you going to venture into the Bronze Immortal Palace?" Yun Shu asked, looking somewhat worried. Although he had informed Nangong Zheng of the Bronze Immortal Palace's emergence, he did not want Nangong Zheng to enter it.
Although her cultivation level was not high, she had heard of the reputation of the Bronze Immortal Palace. The Bronze Immortal Palace was known as the tomb of top experts, and many outstanding figures were buried there, which made her feel uneasy."No need to worry, I already have a way to prolong my life, and there's no need to force my way into that Bronze Immortal Palace!" Nangong Zheng shook his head, his brows calm and composed as he spoke.
Flowers bloomed around him, making him appear even more otherworldly.
The Bronze Immortal Palace is a place where one has a slim chance of survival, and he has no intention of venturing there!
Right now, nothing is more important than extending his lifespan!
Yun Shu was overjoyed. There was a way to prolong life without having to risk venturing into the Bronze Immortal Palace. That was perfect!
...
Nangong was traveling through the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness. Although he had the cultivation of a second-level immortal and could roam freely, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, as the Southern Region was simply too vast.
Even within the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, which contains countless kingdoms, renowned powers like the Ji Family, Tai Xuan, and Yao Guang are merely a small part of the Southern Region.
As Nangong Zheng traveled through the Southern Region, he also learned much.
At this moment, the entire Southern Region was in an uproar. The news of the birth of the Bronze Immortal Palace spread to all the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness through the Domain Gate."Ye Hei, he truly lives up to his reputation." Nangong Zheng chuckled inwardly. Knowing the plot, he naturally knew that the news of the Bronze Immortal Palace appearing near the Tai Xuan Gate was deliberately leaked by Ye Fan.
Soon after, Nangong Zheng learned that in recent days a great event had occurred, causing turmoil in every direction. Not only did powerful figures from the human race go to the Tai Xuan Sect, but even renowned figures from the demon race had descended, many of whom were great figures who had been in seclusion for many years. Even the Peacock King, who had swept across the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness eight hundred years ago, had appeared.
The news of the Bronze Immortal Palace's emergence had a tremendous impact. Becoming an immortal was the ultimate dream and lifelong goal of countless powerful individuals. The Bronze Immortal Palace was rumored to offer an opportunity to achieve immortality, which naturally held a fatal allure for these important figures.
If things had followed the original trajectory, Nangong Zheng would have already arrived at the Tai Xuan Sect, preparing to explore the Bronze Immortal Palace. However, Nangong Zheng has no intention of paying attention to it now.
Furthermore, at this moment, Nangong Zheng is preparing to borrow a route from a certain force to reach the Northern Region! His current target is the Ancient Ji Family!
Because the closest family to him is the Arakura Hime family!
Therefore, he planned to borrow a route from the Ji family to go to the Northern Region, and the original Nangong Zheng had a fairly good relationship with the Ji family!
...
Ji family
The magnificent ancient buildings and towering mountain gates are home to sacred mountains and floating islands, with silver waterfalls cascading down them, creating an ethereal and mysterious atmosphere.
Before the magnificent gate, a great river flows by, resembling a rushing dragon soaring into the distance; its name is the Ji River.
At this moment, a handsome young man was displaying his prowess at the gate of the Ji family. He had a delicate and beautiful face, but his strength was overwhelming. He actually slapped the plaque at the gate of the ancient Ji family, sending it flying!
"King Peacock, you're asking for death!" someone shouted.
It turns out that this seemingly weak and handsome young man is actually the famous great demon king, the Peacock King!
Immediately, many members of the Ji family were alarmed and roared in anger. They were furious that the Ji family, which had produced an emperor, had been provoked by someone.
"I will fly to the world on my own, who can stop me?!" The handsome young man laughed loudly. "Do you really think my demon race is without anyone, considering me a descendant of the Great Emperor of the Demon Clan?!"
"Quickly, go and invite the Holy Lord to emerge from seclusion and subdue this scoundrel!"Having said that, the Peacock King was about to turn and leave without any hesitation.
At this moment, petals fall from the sky, each one sparkling, and a road made of flowers stretches from heaven to earth, leading straight to us.
Many people were shocked and involuntarily looked up at the figure in the sky.
On the flower-lined avenue stood a handsome man, tall and straight, with eyes like stars and white hair like snow, extremely dashing.
Nangong Zheng also witnessed the scene just now, seeing the Peacock King displaying his divine power and even knocking the Ji family's plaque away!
He was speechless. He hadn't expected to witness such a famous scene so soon after arriving: the Peacock King from Legend of Sword and Fairy 2 smashed the plaque of the Great Emperor's faction!
"Who is that?!"Suddenly, someone from the Ji family was shocked to see Nangong Zheng arrive, walking along a flower-lined avenue.
"That's... Nangong Zheng—the supreme human expert!" another exclaimed, shock clear in their tone.
Nangong Zheng!The Ji family was shocked. They never expected that Nangong Zheng, who had supposedly passed away five hundred years ago, would actually reappear and even show up at the Ji family's doorstep.
"Nangong Zheng, you actually showed up here!?" The Peacock King looked at Nangong Zheng, who was walking on the flower-lined avenue, with a somewhat solemn
