Hordes of scarlet flame monsters surged like a tide, arriving at the Lava Immortal Palace in successive waves, launching a frantic siege against its inner circle.

Mount Fire Persimmon occasionally trembled, aftershocks from a large-scale eruption.

Above the mountaintop, dust billowed.

The Lava Demon Heads that had once densely populated the sky had retreated back into the magma.

This was because confrontations at the Nascent Soul level were constantly unfolding in mid-air, and the aftershocks of each blow were more than these Lava Demon Heads could withstand.

Meng Kui’s pháp lực-driven giant hands advanced and retreated, coordinating seamlessly as they engaged in a continuous struggle with the three Nascent Soul level monster beasts: the Fiery Serpent, the Flaming Lizard, and the Fire Ape.

Meng Kui held back some power, constantly scanning the monster horde for the hidden Five-tailed Fire Fox.

This Fire Fox was clearly a Nascent Soul level tamed beast belonging to the Taiqing Palace, possessing intelligence far beyond wild monster beasts. It was a greater threat than the three scarlet flame Nascent Soul beasts!

Miles away from Mount Fire Persimmon.

Meng Hu charged relentlessly, locked in a fierce battle with a Taiqing Palace Nascent Soul cultivator.

Taiqing cultivators excelled at taming beasts, but his primary cultivated beast was still at the entrance of Mount Fire Persimmon. This forced him into a defensive stance, making offense difficult.

Fortunately, he held the Thin Life Shield, a defensive artifact with offensive capabilities, guarding his position and making Meng Hu extremely uncomfortable, unable to shake his formation for the time being.

Inside the inner circle of the Lava Immortal Palace.

The restrictions had weakened, allowing Golden Core cultivators without a talent for mechanisms to enter and exit the Immortal Palace.

Suddenly, over a dozen Golden Cores emerged from various locations. Their target was almost unanimously the main hall of the Lava Immortal Palace!

The majority of them wore similar black robes.

Shadow Demon Cultivators!

Within the Lava Immortal Palace, there were originally fewer Golden Core cultivators, making it difficult to resist so many Shadow Demon Cultivators.

In fact, many among them were from the orthodox sects, disguised as Shadow Demon Cultivators.

Knowing they were their own people in disguise, they naturally went easy during the interceptions.

As a result, a large number of Golden Core cultivators rushed directly to the vicinity of the main hall.

They couldn’t get in!

They were all blocked by the Turning Point Secret Pavilions. Violet-blue currents of electricity weaved and connected between the Secret Pavilion blocks, forming a comprehensive lightning net.

The Golden Core cultivators’ attacks landing on the lightning net were swallowed by the violet-blue currents. When they reappeared, they were outside the Lava Immortal Palace, amidst the countless scarlet flame monster hordes.

Sun Lingtong suddenly leaped, jumping directly into the violet-blue electric net.

The next moment, the current swallowed him.

By the time Sun Lingtong reacted, he had already been carried into a Secret Pavilion by the current.

Many Golden Core cultivators witnessed this scene.

Some wanted to imitate him, but their Golden Core cultivation became the biggest obstacle. Unless they were Qi Refining stage or Foundation Establishment stage, there was a possibility of entering.

At this moment, many Golden Core cultivators were even willing to endure the restrictions themselves, suppressing their cultivation to the Foundation Establishment level.

They tried multiple times, employing various methods, but all failed.

Ning Jiufan, Zhou Nongying, and Zheng Shuanggou, among others, protected the lower-level cultivators from their respective families and came to the vicinity of the main hall.

“Clan Elder Ning Zhuo, we are here to help you!” Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqian, Ning Chen, Ning Yong, and others leaped together and were transported into the Secret Pavilions by the current.

“The Lava Immortal Palace is too damaged, and the restrictions have weakened. Perhaps even we eliminated trial disciples can still become Palace Lords if we sit on the throne?” With hope in their hearts, Zhou Zhu, Zhou Zeshen, and others also moved one after another.

Among the Ning family group, Ning Xiaoren lowered his head, wearing a hood, and decided to take a gamble.

He had been investigated for colluding with outsiders, severely damaging his status and prospects in the family. More crucially, he had been actively sacrificed by the Ning family clan elder.

Therefore, Ning Xiaoren had fallen out with his father and had to rely entirely on himself.

He resolutely leaped into the Mechanism Secret Pavilion.

“Xiaohui, Xiaohui, you are here, you must be here, right? Don’t be afraid, Grandma is coming to find you!” Ning Xiaohui’s grandmother muttered incessantly and squeezed into a Secret Pavilion.

Under the escort of several Meng family Golden Core cultivators, Li Duolun, Feng Feidao, and Guan Tiesuo led the restructuring team and all entered the Turning Point Secret Pavilions.

Gui Ke, hidden and undetectable, also secretly entered.

After a Shadow Demon Cultivator’s attempts all failed, he suddenly attacked.

He no longer attacked the Turning Point Secret Pavilions, but aimed to kill the low-level cultivators preparing to enter the Secret Pavilions!

“If I can’t get in, why should you insignificant low-level cultivators?”

He roared, his attacks filled with anger, blocked by the Golden Core cultivators who were already on guard.

“Demon path scoundrels deserve to be executed!” The orthodox cultivators were enraged and immediately counterattacked.

The other cultivators quickly distanced themselves.

During this process, several Golden Core cultivators successively attacked the cultivators around them.

Two Golden Core cultivators from the Taiqing Palace, disguised as Shadow Demon Cultivators, jointly attacked Zheng Shuanggou.

Zhou Nongying, disguised as a Shadow Demon Cultivator, also attacked him. From an emotional perspective, traitors are often more hateful than enemies!

Zheng Shuanggou held a Sun Hook in his hand, facing the siege of three opponents of the same level by himself. He couldn’t help but complain bitterly, constantly retreating.

His divine sense swept over Ning Jiufan, and he quickly transmitted a message: “Brother Ning, name your price. How about returning my Moon Hook?”

It turned out that he had used the Moon Hook to stab Ning Jiufan in the Turning Point Secret Pavilion earlier.

As a result, Ning Jiufan seized the opportunity to suppress the Moon Hook, and during the final struggle, he also dragged the nearby Zheng Shuanggou into the water, eliminating him as well.

After the two were transported back, they returned to their original positions.

Zheng Shuanggou had wanted to retrieve the Moon Hook, but before he could even move, he had to protect the Zheng family’s low-level cultivators and head to the Turning Point Secret Pavilions amidst the sudden changes.

Although everyone knew that cultivation was no longer restricted in the Turning Point Secret Pavilions and that Zhu Xuanji and others had already recovered to the Golden Core level, the low-level cultivators would be no match for them.

But the victory mechanism was to break out of the Secret Pavilions and enter the main hall.

Since the three major families had already fought to such an extent, they naturally wouldn’t retreat at the final critical moment.

After these family cultivators occupied the various Turning Point Secret Pavilions, they would transmit first-hand information.

In the unlikely event that the restrictions completely collapsed, even cultivators who were not qualified for the palace examination might, by chance, enter the main hall and ascend the throne, possibly even seizing the position of Palace Lord.

The three major families considered this, and the City Lord’s Mansion naturally thought the same.

The external Golden Core who had broken in alone, realizing this layer, attacking these low-level cultivators was also based on his own interests, not simply venting anger.

For a time, Golden Core cultivators around the main hall attacked each other.

Various artifacts, magic treasures, and spells were displayed in turn, shining brilliantly.

Some cultivators fought for a while, then voluntarily withdrew from the battle group, heading to various parts of the Lava Immortal Palace where there were no restrictions or the restrictions were weak, and began to frantically plunder.

Some cultivators had clear objectives and continued to attack the Turning Point Secret Pavilions, attempting to break through and directly charge into the main hall.

There were also some cultivators who came with important missions.

For example, the two Golden Core true disciples of the Taiqing Palace fought more and more fiercely, their killing intent chilling, delivering fatal blows to Zheng Shuanggou.

Zhou Nongying participated for a short while, then withdrew.

The intensity of the battle between Zheng Shuanggou and the two Taiqing Palace Golden Cores rapidly escalated, making him, a participant, increasingly strained. Unwilling to invest and bear excessive risks, he retreated first.

“It’s really lively, I like it, hahaha.” Luo Shang also entered the Immortal Palace, but he didn’t participate in the large battle group in the inner circle. Instead, he constantly attacked the scarlet flame monsters.

He slaughtered countless creatures, extracting countless monster souls.

These souls were one of the best cultivation resources for the Soul Devouring Sect.

Luo Shang secretly watched the Golden Core cultivators’ battle group. Once someone was in a bad situation, he wouldn’t mind lending a hand, sending the opponent to their demise, and thus obtaining the souls of human cultivators.

Book Lord condensed his lower body with pháp lực, having no time to heal his injuries, and fiercely attacked the monster beasts.

The Meng family had the most Golden Core cultivators, and at this moment they became the backbone, difficultly resisting the various attacks of the monster beast tide.

A Golden Core true disciple of the Purple霄 Pavilion lost an arm. Although eliminated, he still fiercely attacked the Turning Point Secret Pavilions, harboring a last glimmer of hope.

Yang Chanyu hid in the shadows, not making a move. Her injuries were quite serious, and she chose to heal first before fighting.

There were battles everywhere!

Between monster beasts and cultivators, and between cultivators, all in contention.

Since the Lava Immortal Palace was blasted out, months later, the struggle for the Lava Immortal Palace had reached its most intense phase!

Within the Turning Point Secret Pavilions.

Zhu Xuanji and the other Golden Core cultivators frowned.

Large numbers of low-level cultivators poured into the various Secret Pavilions, greatly reducing the effectiveness of their divine sense detection.

Golden Core cultivators, as long as they concealed and disguised their aura to the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment level, could blend in with the crowd.

“Meng Chong!” Ning Zhuo, however, kept a close eye on Meng Chong’s location, rapidly crossing one Secret Pavilion after another, pursuing relentlessly.

He used Cloud Concealment Bud to hide his figure. Even when he saw Ning Yong midway, he did not reveal himself.

Whenever he opened a door, there would be a flaw.

However, even if discovered, it didn’t matter.

At this moment, there was no time to worry about such things. The worst-case scenario was allowing Meng Chong to enter the main hall.

“Damn it, damn it!” The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit watched Ning Zhuo getting closer and closer to Meng Chong, grinding his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

The restrictions of the Lava Immortal Palace were greatly reduced, but he was still constrained, not much freer.

On the other side.

Zhu Zhen contacted Zhu Xuanji again: “Cousin, I have succeeded in condensing. This is the relic of the No. 4 Golden Furnace. Do you still need it?”

“Send it over,” Zhu Xuanji replied while on the move.

Official Technique – Official Ferry!

The next moment, Zhu Xuanji held the waste material and activated his talent.

The mysterious cultivator with purple light trails “appeared” in Zhu Xuanji’s eyes again.

He seemed to be severely injured, walking with difficulty, his body as if burdened by a thousand jin, every step a struggle.

Finally, he arrived in front of the No. 4 Golden Furnace and opened it.

He directly drilled inside!

Flames surged, and the Golden Furnace was silent.

The flames gradually extinguished, and a figure flew down, landing in front of the Golden Furnace.

The Golden Furnace collapsed, and in the gray smoke, a ball of spirituality, like a young swallow returning to its nest, plunged into the descending figure.

The figure was originally stiff, but with the entry of spirituality, it became nimble.

The figure moved its hands and feet, observing itself. The originally concealed hood and robe, with the movements, revealed its true appearance before Zhu Xuanji’s eyes.

It was the Buddhist Physician!
