Chapter 455: Ancient Dragon Palace, Myriad Seas Dragon Pearl

"It's here."

Zhou Chen put away the Flying Boat, his figure flashed, and he dived towards the seabed.

The seawater grew deeper and deeper.

The surrounding light grew dimmer and dimmer.

The water pressure also increased, but Zhou Chen felt nothing.

If it were an ordinary True Immortal Realm Cultivator, they would likely have started to struggle long ago and would have been forced to circulate their Immortal Spiritual Power to resist.

He dived for about a hundred thousand feet.

Suddenly, the view opened up before him.

A majestic complex of palaces appeared in Zhou Chen's sight.

The entire palace was built from deep blue crystals, emitting a soft glow.

Outside the palace, dozens of giant Flood Dragon phantoms swam about.

Each Flood Dragon emitted the pressure of the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer.

Zhou Chen's expression turned grave.

"These Flood Dragon phantoms should be part of a guardian Formation."

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense swept over, and he quickly found a flaw in the Formation.

With a wave of his hand, a streak of Sword Qi slashed out.

The Sword Qi accurately struck the Formation's node.

Crack!

The Formation shattered at the sound.

The dozens of Flood Dragon phantoms let out a mournful cry and dissipated into specks of light.

Zhou Chen entered the palace smoothly.

The interior of the palace was extremely magnificent.

The floor was paved with white jade, and the walls were carved with various Dragon Clan patterns.

The air was filled with dense water-attribute Spiritual Qi, making one feel refreshed all over.

"This should be the legendary Ancient Dragon Palace."

"I didn't expect it to actually exist."

Zhou Chen looked around, his eyes full of excitement, then his Divine Sense swept through the entire palace.

The palace was divided into three floors.

The first floor was the main hall, where various treasures were placed.

The second floor was the Scripture Pavilion, housing a large number of Cultivation Techniques and Jade Slips.

The third floor was a secret chamber, containing a massive pool.

In the pool, a bead emitting rainbow-colored light floated.

It was precisely the water-attribute treasure—the Dragon Pearl.

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth curled into a slight arc.

"Found it."

With a flash of his body, he flew directly towards the third floor.

Zhou Chen stood by the pool, examining the Dragon Pearl.

The Dragon Pearl emitted terrifying water-attribute fluctuations, as if it contained a vast ocean inside.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and reached out to grab the Dragon Pearl.

At the very moment his hand was about to touch the Dragon Pearl…

The pool suddenly began to boil.

A massive Dragon shadow burst from the pool, opening its bloody maw and snapping at Zhou Chen.

The Dragon shadow emitted the pressure of the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer.

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

"A mere remnant soul dares to be so insolent?"

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

The palm print transformed into a golden light, smashing heavily onto the Dragon shadow's head.

Boom!

The Dragon shadow let out a shrill scream, and its massive body collapsed and shattered.

It dissipated into countless points of light.

Zhou Chen withdrew his palm and grabbed for the Dragon Pearl again.

This time, there were no obstacles.

The moment the Dragon Pearl touched his hand, a terrifying surge of water-attribute energy flooded into his body.

The Immortal Spiritual Power within Zhou Chen's body circulated frantically, refining and absorbing this energy.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting Xing Chen's key Opportunity!]

[Triggered ten-thousand-fold critical hit return!]

[Obtained Immortal King grade Top-Grade water-attribute treasure—Myriad Seas Dragon Pearl!]

The System's notification sound rang out.

Zhou Chen was delighted; he hadn't expected to get so many good things this time.

Myriad Seas Dragon Pearl, an Immortal King grade Top-Grade treasure.

It contains endless water-attribute Origin; once refined, it can significantly boost cultivation and grant the Cultivator the ability to avoid water, allowing them to walk on the seabed as if on flat ground without needing to resist water pressure.

Zhou Chen followed suit.

[Congratulations to the Host for intercepting an Immortal Rank Top-Grade Medicinal Pill—Seven Apertures Pill!]

[Triggered ten-thousand-fold critical hit return!]

[Obtained Immortal King rank Top-Grade Medicinal Pill, Nine Revolutions Divine Aperture Pill!]

…

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting an ancient Immortal King Artifact Refining Legacy!]

[Triggered ten-thousand-fold critical hit return!]

[Obtained Immortal Emperor Artifact Refining orthodoxy—"Myriad Laws Artifact Refining Art"!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 System energy points!]

The Seven Apertures Pill, as the name suggests, can open the seven apertures upon consumption, making the Divine Soul more in tune with heaven and earth.

The Nine Revolutions Divine Aperture Pill is a truly miraculous ancient pill that allows a True Immortal Tenth Layer Cultivator to maximize their potential and greatly increase the chance of successfully building a divine bridge to reach the Other Shore.

The Immortal Emperor Artifact Refining orthodoxy Legacy: entering the Dao through artifacts, leading directly to the Immortal Emperor level.

A man cannot get rich without intercepting opportunities; the System truly does not deceive me!

Zhou Chen stored the Myriad Seas Dragon Pearl into the System space and took out the Seven Apertures Pill.

The Medicinal Pill emitted a faint fragrance, with profound patterns flowing on its surface.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and swallowed it directly.

The Medicinal Pill melted in his mouth, turning into a surge of pure energy that rushed straight into his Sea of Consciousness.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Soul avatar began to frantically absorb this energy.

Gradually, the seven apertures of the Divine Soul avatar began to glow.

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose—the apertures were opened one by one.

Zhou Chen felt the entire world become clear.

Every trace of Spiritual Qi fluctuation between heaven and earth was clearly presented in his perception.

He could even clearly hear the conversations of Yao Beasts tens of millions of miles away.

Zhou Chen withdrew his Divine Sense, a slight arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

The effect of the Seven Apertures Pill was even stronger than he had imagined.

He stood up and probed his Divine Sense into the System space.

The ancient Immortal King Artifact Refining Legacy turned into a stream of light and flooded into his mind.

无数 Artifact Refining knowledge instantly surfaced.

From the most basic Artifact Refining techniques to Immortal King-level secret Artifact Refining methods, everything was there.

Zhou Chen studied them carefully and quickly mastered this knowledge.

His Artifact Refining level instantly rose to the Immortal King level.

However, many Artifact Refining techniques could not yet be performed due to his cultivation level.

A ten-thousand-foot building starts from the ground; with the foundation of the Immortal King Artifact Refining Legacy, Zhou Chen once again received the Immortal Emperor Artifact Refining orthodoxy.

This was an existence countless levels higher than the Immortal King Legacy.

The contents of the "Myriad Laws Artifact Refining Art" instantly flooded into his mind.

This orthodoxy was all-encompassing, recording countless secret Artifact Refining methods.

From the most basic Artifact Refining techniques to the Immortal Emperor-level Great Dao of Artifact Refining, everything was recorded in detail.

Zhou Chen studied it carefully, growing more shocked the more he looked.

The mysteries of the "Myriad Laws Artifact Refining Art" far exceeded his imagination.

Refining the heavens, refining the earth, refining the Dao.

At its peak, one could even continuously strengthen their Lifebound Treasure and refine Divine Artifacts that surpassed Immortal Artifacts.

Zhou Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to study.

Time passed second by second.

Three hours later, Zhou Chen opened his eyes.

He had already mastered the basic parts of the "Myriad Laws Artifact Refining Art".

His Artifact Refining level rose from the Immortal King level to the Immortal Emperor level.

Although it was only a theoretical improvement, actual operation still required a lot of practice.

Zhou Chen stood up and took out the Myriad Seas Dragon Pearl.

The Dragon Pearl emitted a soft blue light, containing a terrifying water-attribute Origin inside.

Zhou Chen did not refine it immediately but instead stored the Dragon Pearl into his Small World.

In the Small World, the roots of the World Tree wrapped around the Dragon Pearl and began to slowly absorb its Origin.

Having finished all this, Zhou Chen left the secret chamber.

Zhou Chen took out the Flying Boat, preparing to return to Black Tide Island.

Just then, a hundred-foot wave suddenly surged on the distant sea surface.

A terrifying aura soared into the sky from the depths of the seabed.

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense swept over, and his pupils constricted slightly.

It was actually a first-layer Immortal King Realm sea beast.

It was massive, fully a thousand feet long, its entire body covered in black scales.

It was precisely one of the overlords of the depths of the Chaotic Demon Sea, the Profound Nether Turtle.
