The ninth palace of the soul is the highest point of the first realm of immortality cultivation, and it is also the ultimate destination of this section of the immortal path. After opening the ninth palace of the soul, cultivators can see the entrance to the second realm.

  The Ninth Palace is also the most difficult boundary to break through, at least half of the Eighth Palace spirits are blocked outside this pass, Guo Yi now grasps this opportunity and plans to break through this last boundary on the first segment of the Immortal Road, as long as he breaks through to the Ninth Palace, it's very likely that he can enter the Spirit List and become one of the strongest among the younger generation.

  Eight palaces of the soul continuously spew out strands of ethereal spirit energy, these spiritual instruments flow from eight parts of his body to his brow, spirit converges, radiant light shines, eight strands of spirit energy flowing like eight small streams intertwining, mutually operating, constantly expanding, constantly merging.

  The Burial Heaven Sword and three thousand six hundred and eighty ancient characters also flew out from his palm, sprinkling the golden light all over his body, helping him condense infinite spiritual energy, transforming the originally colorless natural spiritual energy into golden spiritual lights. The spiritual lights flowed through the meridians in his body for thirty-six cycles, expanding and extending the meridians inside him, just like a dense net that covered every part of his body.

  Afterwards, the golden light transformed from the meridians to the heart, and then carried the spiritual energy along with the flow of blood in the body to every single hair, circulating around the blood vessels for thirty-six cycles, tempering the originally extremely robust physical body to become even more solid, increasing its strength several times over.

  The meridians and blood vessels have undergone metamorphosis, the body's functions have been elevated to an unprecedented height. Then that golden light again entered the brain from the heart, and then circulated through the major nerves of the human body for thirty-six weeks, making Guo Yao's reaction speed even more advanced.

  The muscles, blood vessels and nerves all over the human body are nourished by the heavenly spirit energy, and Guo Yao's spiritual energy flow speed, physical strength, and neural response speed have all increased several times.

  That golden light passed through the meridians, then entered the blood vessels, flowed into the nerves, and finally burst out from the center of the eyebrows, merging with the eight spiritual energy streams suspended at the center of the eyebrows.

  "Boom!"

  The eight strands of spiritual energy suddenly became disordered, colliding and entwining with each other, finally merging into a single strand, transforming into a half-gold, half-red spiritual energy sphere.

  "Whoosh!"

  Just then, the golden awn in the middle of his eyebrows shot out and flew into the spiritual energy sphere, just like a stone thrown into a pool of water, instantly stirring up a large ripple.

  A golden foundation of the palace, red palace gates, golden column heads, red palace walls, and golden tiles... The embryo of a spiritual palace was slowly taking shape, condensing from Guo Yao's brow.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss......"

  Nine consecutive sonic booms echoed through the air, and the nine spiritual palaces quickly connected with each other, rotating around Guo Yao's body before charging into his body.

  Guo Yi Jin promoted to Lingzhe Ninth Palace!

  However, he still sat cross-legged on the ground and did not open his eyes. Instead, he inserted his spiritual consciousness into the immortal gate and moved forward along the misty path of cultivation. After passing through one palace after another, when he reached the back of the ninth palace, Guo Yao saw a rolling river of immortals.

  This river is incredibly wide, and the opposite bank can't be seen at all. The water flow in this river is extremely rapid, and Guo Yi's current spiritual strength cannot cross it. If he forcibly crosses the river with his spiritual sense, he will sink to the bottom of the water, and his consciousness will also disappear, becoming a thoughtless vegetable person.

  "This is the second realm of cultivation, 'Eight Rivers Mysterious Law'. Only after crossing the first sacred river can one be considered to have entered the second realm of cultivation and become a 'One River Law Master'. My current cultivation is still far from reaching the realm of crossing the sacred river, and my spiritual consciousness will collapse once I cross the river."

  Guo Ye knew that his current cultivation was not enough, and forcibly crossing the Xianhe River would only end in failure, becoming a vegetable. This is the reason why most of the strong ninth palace spiritual practitioners are reluctant to break through the law master boundary.

  The Eight Rivers of the Mystic Law, this section of the Immortal Road has a total of eight rivers, each one more perilous than the last. The further back you go, the more treacherous it becomes. Many top-level masters have lost their lives attempting to cross the rivers, resulting in their souls being extinguished. Therefore, even for those with the highest level of innate talent, it may take ten or so years to reach the ninth palace of the Spirit Realm, but they will still need to prepare for tens or even hundreds of years before daring to cross the Mystic Rivers.

  Just like the number one on the Spirit Roll, Chu Ge, who reached the ninth palace of the spiritual world at the age of nine, can be said to be extremely talented. However, he has been preparing for more than a hundred years and is still preparing to cross the treacherous Fairy River.

  Spirits have a lifespan of 500 years, and many top-ranked spirits in the Spirit Rankings have already lived for three or four hundred years. The more prepared one is, the greater their chances of successfully crossing the Heavenly River. In fact, many of these individuals' abilities are no less than those of ordinary Law Masters, yet they still fear encountering unexpected events while crossing the Heavenly River. This illustrates just how perilous the "Eight Rivers Mystical Law" realm is, and also explains why high-ranking Law Masters in the cultivation world are so rare.

  "It seems that I also have to embark on the path of fusion, if I can merge all nine spiritual palaces into one palace boat, then when using the palace boat to cross the Fairy River, I can reach a speed nine times that of others, and crossing the Fairy River will be even safer."

  Fusing the Nine Palaces is a very time-consuming task, and it becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. To know that in the ancient Xuan domain's cultivation world, there has never been a Nine Palace Grand Completion genius who completely fused all nine Spiritual Palaces, which can be seen from how great the difficulty is.

  "It's not time to merge with the Spiritual Palace yet."

  Guo Yi put away the Heaven's Sword and the ancient characters, then opened his eyes. Two divine lights, one gold and one red, shot out from his eyes, piercing through the clothes of Hua Er Lou who was standing opposite him, creating two large holes, frightening him so much that he ran away in panic.

  "Big brother, you're not supposed to play with people like this, I almost lost my life. I've been helping you guard the law for four days and three nights, and this is how you repay me?" said Hua Er Lou.

  "It's been four days already, but I feel like it was just a short while ago!"

  Guo Yi withdrew the divine light from his eyes, then stood up. At this moment, a cyan mark descended upon him from outside the Nine Heavens. A cyan character "Ling" was directly imprinted between his hair strands on top of his head. This was the branding of the Ling Ranking.

  "Seventy-second place, is this some kind of mistake? The ranking is actually the lowest." Guo Yi opened the "Ling Bang" in the seal with his spiritual awareness and found that although he had entered the "Ling Bang", he was actually ranked last.

  "He secretly thought to himself: 'The Spirit Ranking is just a ranking of individual strength, it doesn't take into account the power of one's weapon and techniques. Although my ranking is the lowest, with the addition of the Burial Heaven Sword and the Burial Heaven Book, my combat strength can completely rival that of those in the top fifty.'"

  Xiao Changsheng once said that most of the top players on the Spirit List have merged three or more Spirit Palaces, but Guo Yao has not even merged two and is already on the list, so his future potential will be quite large.

  Hong Xiangyin was also guarding Guo Yi, and at this time he saw that he had successfully entered the ninth palace of the spiritual realm, and had also obtained the "Spiritual List" seal. He immediately went forward with a smile, saying: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Master Guo for entering the ranks of high-ranking masters on the 'Spiritual List', from now on picking flowers and herbs will be even more effortless."

  "Do you believe me? I'll pick you first!" Guo Yi said with a smile.

  "I've been waiting for a long time." Hong Xiangyin floated directly into Guo Yao's arms, her red gauze gently falling, revealing half of her fragrant shoulders. She placed her slender jade hands on his neck and breathed out a mouthful of sweet fragrance, saying: "We're also an old married couple now, so don't be polite, dear husband."

  Huawei's nosebleed suddenly sprayed out a large amount of blood, staining his clothes red. He drooled and said: "Boss, if you can't do it, let me."

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Although Hong Xiang's temptation was boundless, Guo Yao's expression didn't change. He stretched out his hand and pulled up the red gauze that had slipped down halfway, slowly rewrapping it around her slender body. Smiling, he said: "Wife, you have to be careful with your image in front of my brother. Although nothing has been exposed yet, but if you continue like this, you'll be taking his life."

  "Boss, I'd die with no regrets." Hua Er Lou said resolutely.

  Kuo Yi pushed Hong Xiangyin away, then walked over and slapped Hua Er Lou to the ground, saying: "I'm afraid that even if you die, you won't be able to eat her flesh, but instead, all your flesh will be eaten by her."

  "Husband, you can say that I'm as holy as a fairy, but now you're making me sound like a man-eating demon. I'm not your family's little saint, and yet I protected the dharma for four days and three nights for you. You're really a heartless man." Hong Xiangyin adjusted the red gauze on her body.

  "Four days and three nights, has this shocking gamble already passed?" Guo Yi thought back to the gamble from three days ago.

  Hua Er Lou wiped the blood off his nose and quickly scrambled to his feet, saying: "Of course I passed, I've gambled away all of the Hua family's business in Nanling, I've put everything on your shoulders, Eldest Brother. You must hold on tight, or else I'll really lose everything."

  Hua Er Lou is the person in charge of the Hua family business in Nanling. There isn't a single place in Nanling that doesn't have their business, and all their wealth added up can't be calculated with numbers. He actually put the entire Hua family's decades of operation on the gambling table, this is absolutely a shocking big gamble, one that won't happen even once in ten thousand years.

  Kwok Yat Chung rushed forward and slapped the degenerate to the ground, scolding: "Damn it, didn't I tell you I wouldn't fight with Shuang Sheng? Why did you bet?"

  "No way, the odds are too high. Betting on you winning is 1 to 10, betting on Double Saint winning is 1 to 20, and betting on both of you losing is 1000 to 1." Hua Er Lou got up from the ground again, took out a large abacus, and smiled: "My big brother Hua Da Lou has bet all the business in Zhongyuan that you two will lose. My third brother Hua San Lou has also bet all the business in Xihu that you two will lose. My fourth brother Hua Si Lou has bet all the business in Dongmo that you two will lose. My fifth brother Hua Wu Lou has even bet all the business in Beigou that you two will lose. In other words, if I win, all of the Guhua family's business in Guyuan will fall into my hands. At that time, attacking Xuanyu Mountain will be... something something..."

  Guo Yimei's eyebrows twitched, and she asked: "What was your last sentence? Who dares to attack Xuánjī Mountain? Who has the audacity to attack one of the three great sacred places in the world, Xuánjī Mountain?"

  "Did I say that? You completely misheard me, Boss." Hua Er Lou said vaguely.

  Kuo Yeh slightly nodded, thinking he had misheard, after all, even the seven major evil lands didn't dare to easily attack Xuán Jī Mountain, and no one in Gǔ Xuán Domain had the guts to take a knife to the three great sacred places.

  "In other words, you're saying that everyone in the world now thinks that neither I nor Shuang Sheng can win Bai Xue'er?" Guo Yi asked.

  Hua Er Lou saw Guo Yi and suddenly asked this question, his heart was overjoyed, but his face pretended to be extremely angry: "Who said it wasn't? Now all the people in the world are saying that Gu Da Sheng's hands can't possibly pick up Ling Xiao Xian Zi. Of course, these aren't things I'm saying, they're also saying that as long as Chu Ge is around, Guo Yi and all those Double Saints wouldn't dare to make a move on Bai Xue Er, saying you guys are definitely all scared out of your wits by Chu Ge, not even daring to enter the Holy City of Flowers."

  Hua Er Lou spluttered, "These days I've had enough of listening to them. They completely look down on you, think you're not capable, and all sorts of rumors have made you sound like a joke. It's really unbearable for me to listen to this anymore. Boss, can you tolerate this tone? If you don't get Bai Xue'er in your hands soon, won't they just look down on you even more?"

  Huawei's second floor had a resentful and disdainful look, as if they were about to go fight those people at any moment.

  Kuo Yeh listened to Hua Er Lou's string of stirring words, and suddenly smiled: "Er Lou, your eloquence is impressive, and so is your courage, you actually dare to stir me up?"

  "Boss, I was indeed provoking you, but what I said is all true. Right now, the entire Huasheng City's cultivators are using you and Chuguang as positive and negative examples for propaganda. Chuguang has become a positive idol in the hearts of people all over the world, while you have become a negative teaching material that people all over the world despise."

  "Yesterday, Old Man Huang on the street was educating his grandson, saying: 'Little Huang, when you grow up, you must study well! A man should be like Chu Ge's eldest prince, standing tall and upright, that is a true man. Don't be like Guo Yao, that little scoundrel who doesn't study well and dares to try to catch the attention of Ling Xiang fairy, Ling Xiang fairy is Chu Ge's eldest prince's heart's desire! If Guo Yao dares to enter Huadu Holy City, he will definitely be dealt with by Chu Ge's eldest prince!"

  "Older brother, do you know how I felt when I heard those words? My heart was bleeding. They actually dared to look down on you like that. Can your heart bear it? If it were me, I would definitely go and get Bai Xue'er, the person Chu Ge has a crush on, into my own bed. I want to let everyone in the world see who is the real man. At most, Chu Ge can only be considered a mere hair."

  Guo Yi stroked his chin, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Are all the people in Huadu really saying this?"

  "If I have half a lie, heaven will strike me with thunder, five thunders will hit my head...... and so on!" Hua Er Lou stared at Guo Yao, wanting to know what his final decision would be.

  Does everyone think it's too evil to push Xiao Su down?
