Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 150 - 145: 4 Pillars

Yu Guanhai said.

TAP, TAP!!

Just then, the two of them suddenly stopped. Ahead of them, two Life Magnetic Fields connected with theirs. Through the entanglement of the fields, they saw an old Daoist in a Daoist Robe and a burly man in a Martial Arts Uniform standing before them.

"Long time no see."

A faint smile appeared on Daoist Bailong's face.

"Elder White Dragon Divides Water, it seems you luring me here was, as I suspected, not out of the kindness of your heart."

Yu Guanhai said, his expression calm.

"Heh, no need to put it so harshly. This is just mutual benefit. The Jasper Pool is on the sixth floor and is currently still sealed. Your Moon Race bloodline is the best passkey, capable of significantly reducing the risk. In return, I can offer you considerable help—at the very least, I can reduce the chances of encountering those mountain-guarding monsters. Given the circumstances, we have a basis for cooperation, don't we?"

Elder White Dragon Divides Water said with a grin.

"What is it you want?"

Yu Guanhai fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"The Jade Pool Water is useful to me as well. And while I'm at it, I'd like to see if I can't pick a branch or two from that Peach Tree that's been withered for a thousand years."

...

...

Meanwhile, the Silan man who had brushed past Zhou Yuanjue in the corridor and instantly concealed his presence arrived before the third palace hall.

This man's true identity was Tecolamas, a security advisor for the Beisha National Security Department.

Within the Beisha Security Department, there were four powerful Martial Artists who had reached the Saint Awakening Level solely through the Martial Dao. The outside world collectively called them the "Four Pillars," and Tecolamas was one of them, holding an exceptionally prominent status within Beisha Country.

He was here on a commission from the high-ranking members of the Security Department, seeking the Elixir of Immortality within this Immortal Palace.

He knew this mission was, in fact, extremely perilous. There was the bizarre complex of ancient palaces, the powerful Sealing Realm Image, the Guardians from Donghua Country, competitors from other nations, and the Celestial Demon People plotting something in the shadows.

Therefore, his objective for this trip was clear: avoid other competitors as much as possible, minimize unnecessary conflict, and get his hands on the Elixir of Immortality. He also planned to learn the specifics of this Sealing Realm Image. If he could extract some secret data or capture a few General Level Celestial Demons, that would be even better.

However, those were all secondary objectives. Only after obtaining the Elixir of Immortality would he consider anything else. This way, he would have a clear path for advancement or retreat and wouldn't be trapped in a fatal predicament.

He had reached the first floor of the palace before Zhou Yuanjue and had actually explored the first hall. However, after getting a clear look at the bizarre corpse by the entrance, he had deliberately withdrawn.

He understood that these were hidden dangers, best left undisturbed if possible. In any case, three floors of the seal were open in total, with at least several dozen palace halls. There was plenty of room to explore; there was no need to hang himself from a single tree.

By now, he had already investigated the second palace hall. It was an empty chamber containing only a few simple utensils and ornaments, and nothing else. Thus, he quickly finished his exploration and headed for the third palace hall.

VMMMM!!

Suddenly, he sensed an intense fluctuation in the magnetic field behind him. He turned his head and saw that the illusion of the first palace hall seemed to be faintly twisting and trembling, as if the changes in the magnetic field were causing the illusion to shift.

'Has that guy started fighting the thing in the first palace hall?'

Tecolamas's deep-set eyes narrowed slightly. He quickened his pace toward the third palace hall.

He spread out his Life Magnetic Field and, after confirming there was no danger inside the door of the third palace hall, carefully stepped through the entrance.

The moment he stepped inside, his pupils contracted sharply.

His magnetic field only covered a ten-meter radius around him. Therefore, looking inward from the entrance, what he still saw was the illusion created for him by the strong magnetic field.

Within the illusion was a room filled with the ancient style of Donghua. Hazy mist drifted across the floor. The room was adorned with beaded curtains and jade walls, and the exquisitely designed artifacts were inlaid with precious jewels. Every single object in the room was veiled in a seven-colored halo, suffused with a sense of enlightenment and wisdom.

The most eye-catching thing was a wooden table standing in the very center of the room.

Jade-colored vines crawled across the tabletop, seemingly haphazard yet deliberately arranged, weaving a complex and profound pattern.

Flowers of gold, pure white jade, emerald, and amber bloomed all over the jade-colored vines. In the center of the vines grew a palm-sized, twelve-petaled golden lotus platform.

In the center of the lotus platform rested a small jade vial. Golden threads were inlaid into its body, and its surroundings made the vial seem like a peerless treasure. It was as if obtaining it meant gaining the recognition of heaven and earth, achieving the supreme Dao fruit, and escaping the suffering of the mortal world.

"The Elixir of Immortality?"

A sharp light glinted in Tecolamas's eyes, and a ripple disturbed the tranquil well of his mind.

At this very moment, he actually felt a sense of excitement, as if he had finally found the goal he had sought for many years. He wanted nothing more than to immediately snatch the jade vial, hold it in his hand, and consume its contents.

Immortality—it has been humanity's greatest temptation for millennia, and also its greatest demonic tribulation.

A Saint Awakening Powerhouse might dare to face life and death, but even they would find it hard to resist the lure of eternal life.
