Chapter 63: Tianyan Palace

in a cold voice.Wow!One step forward, a streak of light flashed across.These Yinglong Guards, including the strongest among them, Yinglong Squad Leader Long Jiu, hadn't even had time to see Su Bai's f..."But at just nineteen years old, Hai Yuan had achieved a complete cultivation, capable of suppressing Xia Mang and winning first place in this hunt. Truly remarkable!" the Heavenly Flame Emperor praised.

"Su Xin, upon receiving your praise, Your Majesty, remains humble and unassuming."

"Su Xin, three years ago, I ordered you to be imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Prison. Have you ever held a grudge against me" Tianyan Emperor smiled and looked at Su Xin.

"Su Xin shook his head without any hesitation."

With Emperor Tianyan's shrewdness, he could immediately tell that Su Xin was not lying.

It's really nothing to complain about.

Even Su Xin initially felt that this Heavenly Flame Emperor was already very merciful to him.

"Haha, good! Su Bai Chen did give birth to a good son, Tian Yan Huang Zhu's laughter was hearty."

He, along with Qi Wang, Su Bai, and the one from the Situ family, all hailed from the same era and generation. They were well acquainted with each other long ago.

"I hear that your Su family was attacked not long ago" The Heavenly Flame Emperor looked over again.

Su Xin nodded.

The Heavenly Flame Emperor's expression became dignified. "I chose not to address what happened before, but now that you have won first place in this hunt and are about to enter the Heavenly Flame Palace for cultivation, as a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, I can promise you, as long as I am emperor, no one will dare to touch your Su family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Xin was overjoyed at once.

He came to the imperial city to hunt.

That's why he was so eager to join Tianyan Palace.

Apart from the fact that the cultivation resources in Tianyan Palace are immensely beneficial to oneself, there is another important reason: becoming a disciple of Tianyan Palace means one's family will be protected.

There once was a Tianyan Palace, protected by the Tianyan Imperial Family. No one dared to touch the Su family lightly.

And now, this Heavenly Flame Emperor has personally assured him... Su Xin is completely reassured.

With the Heavenly Flame Emperor himself making such a promise in person, who would dare to oppose the Su family

The Si family definitely wouldn't dare, and even that Qi Wang... wouldn't dare to openly slap the face of this Heavenly Flame Emperor, right

"Haha~~"

Tianyan the Emperor smiled. He was long accustomed to this kind of tactic of winning people over.

But not everyone is qualified to have him personally win over people's hearts, but Su Xin's talent, he indeed values it very much.

"Alright, the two Palace Masters will now take you to Heavenly Flame Palace. The Heavenly Flame Sovereign waved his robe sleeve and turned away."

"The crowd bows respectfully to Your Majesty."

After the Heavenly Flame Emperor left, the two palace masters of Heavenly Flame Palace stepped forward.

The Master of Qingyang Palace glanced at the top ten geniuses who ranked in this hunting, and said: "You have one hour to settle everything. An hour later, follow me to Tianyan Palace."

These ten geniuses, those who have something to explain, should explain it immediately.

As Su Xin had already made arrangements, Duan Yunfeng was an outsider with nothing to settle. He just waited quietly.

An hour later, ten prodigies gathered together. Led by the two palace masters, they mounted their purple wind beasts and headed towards Tianyan Palace.

……

Outside the city, in the boundless expanse of the sky.

The two palace masters of Tianyan Palace were striding ahead, while ten geniuses, including Su Xin, followed closely behind riding purple wind beasts.

“The Heavenly Flame Palace, actually outside the imperial city” These geniuses all looked quite strange.

"Xia Mang, you're at least a descendant of the Tianyan Imperial Family. You should know more about this Tianyan Palace than we do, right" Duan Yunfeng asked.

"As a matter of fact, I do know something about it," Xia Mang nodded. "I've heard that the Tianyan Palace isn't located in a specific place within the imperial dynasty, but rather in a special hidden realm."

"A special secret realm" All the geniuses present looked towards Xia Mang.

"By resorting to extraordinary means and forcibly carving out a unique space, they created the secret realm known as Xia Mang Dao."

Upon hearing this, all the geniuses present were astonished.

"To forcibly open up a space What kind of powerful means would that take Could even a Nirvana Realm expert do it" The chubby woman, Mo Bing, exclaimed in astonishment.

"The ordinary Nirvana Realm would definitely not be able to do it, but if some top experts in the Nirvana Realm were to try, it might be possible."

Su Xin and others were all amazed.

Led by the two palace masters, they soon arrived at a remote forest hundreds of miles away from the imperial city.

This stretch of forest was once untouched, and even if someone happened to pass through, they wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

As soon as people truly entered the forest, they discovered that it was filled with all sorts of formations and restrictions.

Ten genius cultivators traversed numerous restrictions and arrived at the center of the forest. There, a spatial channel existed, guarded by powerful experts around its periphery.

> Past this spatial passage, is the Heavenly Flame Palace.

Come in.

The head of Qingyang Palace spoke.

"Heavenly Flame Palace!"

Ten brilliant minds, all brimming with anticipation, quickly entered the spatial channel.

……

This is a vast expanse of sea, and in the center of the sea lies an island. This island is where the Heavenly Flame Palace is located.

Through the spatial channel, Su Xin and nine others miraculously appeared at the edge of the island. Before their eyes lay a continuous expanse of buildings, with two towering mountains visible at the horizon's end. On the other side stretched a vast open space.

The entire island, its surface is paved with relatively hard bluestone.

"Qingyang, you take these little ones to have a look around first. I'll go get them their identity tokens." The Diyue Palace Master said, then left ahead.

And the master of Qingyang Palace led ten talented disciples into the palace.

As he walked, the Palace Master of Qingyang introduced himself.

"The Heavenly Flame Palace is a special space with a unique formation set up. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is much richer than the outside world."

Su Xin and ten other geniuses also noticed this.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Yanming Palace that day was much denser than outside. Practicing martial arts within Yanming Palace on this day, with such dense spiritual energy, the improvement in cultivation would definitely be faster.

Furthermore, within the Tianyan Palace, there are several places of great opportunity for your cultivation. The first is atop Mount ..., as indicated by the Azure Yang Hall Master at the end of our line of sight.

On that mountaintop, there stood a gigantic attic.

"The Treasure Pavilion houses countless treasures of my Heavenly Flame Dynasty. You could say that over 70% of the resources and treasures of the entire Heavenly Flame Dynasty are within the Treasure Pavilion, including some secret manuals and martial arts techniques. Everything can be found inside the Treasure Pavilion; however, to obtain these treasures or secret manuals, you need corresponding Fire Points to exchange for them.

This is easy to understand.

Even though the Treasure Pavilion holds countless treasures, it would be impossible to allow those disciples to use them at will.

There, is the Tower of Trials.

The headmaster of Qingyang Palace then pointed to a tower at the northernmost tip of the island, "That's where my Tianyan Palace disciples test their own strength. It also helps them practice their skills."

The ten geniuses who followed the master of Qingyang Palace all frowned.

The former treasure pavilion, it's easy to understand.

But this trial tower, the Lord of Qingyang Palace only said it was a place to test one's own strength, but how exactly would it be tested

What are the specific benefits of practicing skills

Even the headmaster of Qingyang Palace didn't make it clear.

"Qingyang Palace Master, I dare to ask..." Su Xin opened his mouth wanting to inquire.

"Shut up!"

The head of the Qingyang Palace directly rebuked him with a harsh snort, "I wanted you to hear, not ask!"

Su Xin's face changed, he didn't say a word, only thinking to himself that the temperament of this Qingyang Palace Master was a bit too bad.

It was just an unconscious question, and my tone and attitude were very polite. However, I was met with his harsh rebuke.

"Humph!"

Qingyang Palace Master coldly glanced at Su Xin.

Even if he was unwilling to answer, he wouldn't have rebuked them outright if other geniuses around him had asked.

...may be trusted.

First of all, when the Tianyan Palace previously discussed whether to give Su Xin a special recruitment quota, he was the one who strongly opposed it, which temporarily put the quota on hold. As a result, in just two months, Su Xin participated in the Imperial City Hunt and directly won first place. This is equivalent to slapping him hard in the face.

Besides, with the incident involving Tu San, Su Xin had completely fallen out with that King of Qi, and he was originally from the King of Qi's side.

Since they were combined, he wouldn't have a good face towards Su Xin.

The headmaster of Qingyang Palace continued to introduce.

"Over there, in that open space, is the training ground of the Heavenly Inferno Palace. Usually, disciples of the Heavenly Inferno Palace gather there to communicate with each other, practice sparring, and even engage in battles."

Besides, there are eight Dao Masters in the Taoist temple. These eight Dao Masters are all peak powerhouses in the Nirvana realm. They have each reached an astonishing level in their skills, including their comprehension of artistic conception. Every month, these eight Dao Masters will give lectures in the Taoist temple, and you can all go and listen then.

"Who is the lecturer" All ten geniuses were taken aback.

Though he only teaches once a month, as a top expert in the Nirvana realm, it's already remarkable that he is willing to teach once a month.

"A powerful expert in the Nirvana Realm is personally teaching, Su Xin murmured softly, his heart also quite looking forward to it."

Last but not least, there is the Starry Palace.

The master of Qingyang Palace pointed to the top of another mountain in the distance, where a magnificent palace stood. "This is the Starry Palace," he said. "It's very special and will be very beneficial for your practice, but the threshold for entering it is higher than the others. When you have enough fire points, you can go there yourself and explore it slowly."

The head of the Qingyang Palace apparently wasn't willing to say much, so Su Xin and his companions could only listen obediently, not daring to ask.

At this time, the previous lord of Diyue Palace who had left earlier has returned.

“These are your respective identity talismans, keep them well. In the future, when you travel or explore outside, these talismans represent your status as disciples of Tianyan Palace. Additionally, these talismans also contain the number of fire points each of you possesses. The Emperor Yue Palace Master distributed ten talismans to Su Xin and his ten companions.”

This gives the character a very unique shape, like a blazing bonfire.

...After receiving the command, Su Xin sensed a slight tremor. He then sensed the number 10,000 from within the command, representing the ten thousand fire points he possessed.

"Here, there are also ten Qiankun rings. You each take one." The Master of the Imperial Moon Palace took out another ten dark rings.

"The Cosmic Ring" Su Xin's eyes lit up.

The乾坤戒, containing the universe within, is a storage treasure that only powerful cultivators in the Nirvana Realm are qualified to refine. It is extremely precious.

Before, the entire Su family only had one乾坤戒 in the hands of Su Bichen, the head of the family. But now that they have become disciples of Tianyan Palace, everyone has one.

Okay, I'll take you to the residence first.

The Palace Master of Diyue immediately took ten people to the residence. Soon, the ten arrived at a residential area.

There are many houses on this island, you can choose one yourself, but before that, there's something I want to tell you.

The Lord of the Imperial Moon Palace looked at each person.

“As disciples of the Tianyan Palace, you can only cultivate within the palace for a maximum of thirty years. After thirty years, regardless of your cultivation level, the Tianyan Palace will arrange a graduation assessment for you. If you pass the assessment, you will still be considered a powerful individual who emerged from the Tianyan Palace, and your family members will continue to receive a certain degree of protection from the palace.”

> If you fail the linkage industry assessment when the time comes, then the Heavenly Flame Palace will take back your identity tokens. From now on, you will have no further relationship with the Heavenly Flame Palace.

The presence of ten geniuses on the scene was a surprise.

Tianyan Palace, there's actually a graduation assessment

But these geniuses don't care, after all, they are all top-tier geniuses with immense talent and potential. Give them thirty years to cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Palace, if they still can't pass the graduation assessment, then they might as well bash their heads against a brick wall.

In addition, for newcomers like you who have just entered the Tianyan Palace, you will be given six months to find ways to improve your strength. After half a year, my Tianyan Palace will arrange training tasks for you. These training tasks will also come with fire point rewards

Moreover, only after completing the trial missions will you be eligible to take on missions issued by my Tianyan Palace and earn fire points!

Ten geniuses all listened intently.

Complete the task and earn fire points...

"Alright, I've told you everything I needed to. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

After finishing his words, the Lord of the Imperial Moon Palace directly turned and left.

……nly furious, Su Xin's life was big, even like this, he didn't die.And behind Xia Yuanji, there stood a gaunt, hunchbacked old man.This hunchbacked old man was a guest minister under the command of the...
