Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Taiyuan Immortal paused for a moment and sighed, "There are some things I don't know either."

What?

Lin Jiufeng was in disbelief. How could Taiyuan Immortal not know something?

Taiyuan Immortal explained, "Don't think that I am the real Taiyuan Immortal. I am just a fragment of his memory, taken from him ten thousand years ago and left here in the Taiyuan Immortal Palace. My main responsibility is to help him find a successor, so everything I know comes from the memory Taiyuan Immortal left behind. As for why Taiyuan Immortal is searching for a successor on the battlefield of dimensions, I have no idea."

Lin Jiufeng was suddenly enlightened. So that's why. A Celestial Emperor from the Immortal Realm wouldn't suppress his cultivation to battle with these fledgling cultivators and explain so much to him.

"I've been searching for a thousand years. This fragment of spiritual memory has already withered and turned yellow. There won't be another time the Taiyuan Immortal Palace opens. So, the key that was sent out this time carries a trace of Taiyuan Immortal's fate. Whoever obtains it must be a young and talented individual. If anyone else obtains it, they won't be able to keep it. If they try to protect it forcefully, they will pay a huge price, even their life," Taiyuan Immortal said.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but glance at Sword God Emperor Liu.

Now he understood why Sword God Emperor Liu had suffered such serious injuries just by snatching a key to the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.

It turned out that the key had a trace of Taiyuan Immortal's fate attached to it.

Who would dare to provoke the fate of an Immortal Emperor?

The key had to be obtained by a young and talented individual to be safe. If anyone else took it, they would face all sorts of misfortunes.

So, the ones entering the Taiyuan Immortal Palace this time were all young kings from the hundred races of the dimension battlefield.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Jiufeng felt sorry for Sword God Emperor Liu. He also marveled at the power of the Immortal Emperor. Just a trace of fate on a key nearly cost Sword God Emperor Liu his life.

"If I hadn't appeared, who would you have given the Taiyuan Immortal Palace's inheritance to?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"That girl with the dual souls!" Taiyuan Immortal replied.

"Why her?" Lin Jiufeng frowned. Taiyuan Immortal was referring to Moon Immortal, the genius of the Dream Butterfly Clan, who had always concealed her abilities. With her dual souls, she could cultivate with two individuals, making her far stronger than the average person.

But her performance in the Taiyuan Immortal Palace was nothing compared to the two angelic women, Black and White.

Taiyuan Immortal explained, "Because her potential is the strongest among everyone else, besides you. Although Black and White are impressive, with great talent and a promising future, their potential in the Immortal Realm cannot match that of the dual-souled girls."

Lin Jiufeng was puzzled, "Why?"

Taiyuan Immortal didn't explain, only saying, "You'll understand later. I don't have any knowledge about this, but I do know that the dual-souled girls are more powerful. Of course, when they combine, they still can't compare to you."

"You comprehended the four great phenomena during the Thirteen Bans, and your physical strength surpasses that level. You've already surpassed Taiyuan Immortal of the Thirteen Bans, which is why I chose you to inherit the Taiyuan Immortal Palace's legacy," Taiyuan Immortal continued.

"Wait!" Lin Jiufeng suddenly frowned, stopping Taiyuan Immortal from speaking. He asked, "You just said this is the inheritance of this Taiyuan Immortal Palace?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Jiufeng was confused. "Are there other Taiyuan Immortal Palaces?"

"Naturally!" Taiyuan Immortal admitted directly. "Do you think Taiyuan Immortal would only search for a successor in one place?"

Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

"I don't know what happened to Taiyuan Immortal, but I know his condition is terrible. He wants someone to inherit his legacy, so he cast his net far and wide. I am just one of those. My duty is to find a suitable successor, while other memories are also searching for theirs. Only those recognized by us, the fragments of Taiyuan Immortal, are eligible to compete for the true inheritance of Taiyuan Immortal, to obtain his supreme treasures, which include his palace, the true Taiyuan Immortal Palace!" Taiyuan Immortal revealed everything openly, explaining it in detail.

Lin Jiufeng understood. "So, I have to compete with countless others for Taiyuan Immortal's true inheritance?"

"Yes!" Taiyuan Immortal's voice was firm.

"So, what can I gain from this Taiyuan Immortal Palace?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"All the resources within, and a qualification, a chance to become Taiyuan Immortal's successor!" Taiyuan Immortal said.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but sigh. As expected of an Immortal Emperor. After all this trouble, he had only gained the opportunity to become Taiyuan Immortal's successor.

"What resources are there in this Immortal Palace?" Lin Jiufeng was not interested in becoming Taiyuan Immortal's successor but was very curious about the Immortal Palace itself.

If the resources were plentiful, he could cultivate properly and work towards breaking through the next realm.

"Most of the resources in this Immortal Palace have been consumed over the past ten thousand years. I gave the last bit of Immortal Crystals to the other people who entered this time," Taiyuan Immortal said with a faint voice, his tone lowering.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but laugh, asking, "So you're asking me to accept the inheritance, which is just a chance to become Taiyuan Immortal's successor?"

Taiyuan Immortal tried to soothe him. "Don't be impatient. Although there aren't many resources, you haven't gained nothing. You can refine this Taiyuan Immortal Palace and use it as your own treasure. This is an Immortal-grade treasure, with many functions."

"An Immortal-grade Immortal Palace?" Lin Jiufeng's anger slowly dissipated. He looked around with curiosity and asked, "What functions does this Immortal Palace have?"

"First, the Immortal Palace can conceal your aura, making it impossible for others to detect you. Second, it can absorb the energy of heaven and earth and gather immense power to provide you with more. Third, it can be used as a treasure to suppress enemies with enormous power. Fourth, only by refining and controlling the Immortal Palace will you be able to become Taiyuan Immortal's successor when you enter the Immortal Realm," Taiyuan Immortal explained.

"Be clear. It's not 'Taiyuan Immortal's successor,' but 'one of the successors.' Who knows how many copies of Taiyuan Immortal's Immortal Palace there are, scattered throughout this world," Lin Jiufeng corrected.

Taiyuan Immortal smiled awkwardly but didn't respond.

Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath, accepting this reality. At least this time, he had gained something. He had saved Sword God Emperor Liu and obtained the replica of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, an Immortal-grade treasure.

Setting aside the matter of being one of Taiyuan Immortal's successors, just getting the replica of the Immortal Palace was a huge gain. With an Immortal treasure in hand, he was better prepared for the dimension battlefield.

"How do I refine the Taiyuan Immortal Palace?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"This hall is the core of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace. I currently control it. I'll grant you the authority soon, and you can begin the refining process. From then on, you will control it," Taiyuan Immortal said.

"And what about you?" Lin Jiufeng immediately asked.

Taiyuan Immortal sighed faintly, "I am just a fragment of Taiyuan Immortal's memory, without a self. I cannot cultivate. I have no past and no future. I'm only here to carry out a task, and once the task is done, I will disappear from this world."

Lin Jiufeng fell silent for a moment and asked, "Are you content with that?"

Taiyuan Immortal chuckled, "Content with a fragment of memory?"

"I think you're a good person. Stay here and manage the Taiyuan Immortal Palace for me," Lin Jiufeng said sincerely.

Taiyuan Immortal fell silent.

Lin Jiufeng wasn't in a hurry. He transformed his appearance, shedding the form of the Yaksha and returning to his original handsome self. With his hands behind his back, he quietly waited.

After a long while, Taiyuan Immortal finally spoke, "I can't survive for much longer. My memory is already fading."

Lin Jiufeng understood. Taiyuan Immortal was moved.

But what could he do? The real Taiyuan Immortal had already forgotten him.

"As long as you agree, I can save you," Lin Jiufeng said decisively.

"Really!!!" Taiyuan Immortal asked quickly, his excitement impossible to hide.

Lin Jiufeng didn't explain further. His energy surged, rising like a tidal wave, like clouds and waves, like the tide of the Great Dao…

These energies gathered behind him, forming a magnificent ink painting of mountains and rivers, slowly unfolding. The ink painting was painted with various colors, incredibly beautiful.

Within this huge landscape painting, Lin Jiufeng's energy intertwined, forming a mysterious book.

The Book of Time!

With a swish, the wind blew, and the pages of the Book of Time turned. Every page recorded the Daoist laws, phenomena, and Great Dao that Lin Jiufeng had understood along his journey.

Each page carried Lin Jiufeng's hard-earned sweat.

Turning to the latest page, a blank sheet of paper detached from the Book of Time and flew before Lin Jiufeng.

This sheet was special, neither metal nor wood, neither earth nor water. Lin Jiufeng flicked his fingers, and with a crisp sound, the paper flew into the air.

"Please enter my Book of Time. Here, you will never be forgotten!" Lin Jiufeng smiled gently, gesturing for the paper to come in.

This fragment of Taiyuan Immortal's memory, now faded and yellowed, stuck to the page of the Book of Time. In that instant, the Book of Time, like water, smoothed out the wrinkles of this memory, dusted off the grime, and washed away the yellowing.

A clear memory was engraved into Lin Jiufeng's Book of Time.

From then on, Taiyuan Immortal would never be forgotten.
