Chapter 874: Jade Pool Heavenly Palace! Dao Ancestor Takes Action! (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
North Heavenly Domain.
Above the Miluo Prefecture, in the sky, there was a white jade immortal palace that lay in the sky. It was the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace.
In the past, the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace was the strongest faction in the North Heaven Domain under the Time Dao Ancestor, Sikong Ling. It could even be said that other than the Supreme Immortal Court, which was an alliance formed by many Heavenly Emperors, the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace was undoubtedly the strongest faction in the Ancestral Immortal Realm.
This was because, before Dao Ancestor Marvelous Light’s sudden rise, Dao Ancestor Sikong Ling had always been the strongest among the hundreds of Dao Ancestors in the Ancestral Immortal Realm. Even the s.p.a.ce Dao Ancestor and Dao Ancestor Reincarnation, who had also cultivated the Supreme Law and become Dao Ancestors, were slightly inferior to Sikong Ling.
However, even someone as powerful as the Time Dao Ancestor, Sikong Ling, could not withstand the corrosion of time. Or rather, the fusion of the Heavenly Dao. Every time he attacked, he was one step closer to being a.s.similated by the Heavenly Dao.
Dao Ancestor Time, who had dominated the Ancestral Immortal Realm for millions of years, was partly defeated by the rising star, Dao Ancestor Marvelous Light. Most importantly, he was defeated by overuse of the Law of Time and devoured by the Heavenly Dao.
Although the current Jade Pool Heavenly Palace was not as glorious as when Sikong Ling was alive, it was still one of the top factions in the North Heavenly Domain.
This was because Sikong Ling’s successor, Sikong Xue, had cultivated the Law of Time to the half-step Dao Ancestor Realm.
A half-step Dao Ancestor who cultivated the Supreme Law already had the strength to deal with ordinary Dao Ancestors, not to mention that Sikong Xue had half a Time-type Chaos Numinous Treasure left behind by Sikong Ling.
In a situation where the power of Law was completely compatible, Sikong Xue could possess astonishing strength to fight the Origin Law Dao Ancestor in a short period of time.
Moreover, after Sikong Xue became a half-step Dao Ancestor, she was still acc.u.mulating strength and had no signs of preparing to break through.
He even had a supreme expert at the Dao Ancestor Realm following him.
In addition, there were three top experts at the half-step Dao Ancestor realm who cultivated branch Laws.
Therefore, the various factions usually did not easily provoke the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace.
Moreover, the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace had the true overlord faction, the Supreme Immortal Court, backing it. Now that the Ancestral Immortal Realm was deeply involved in the war with the Heavenly Demon Realm and needed people, the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace was even more important.
In the inner hall of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace.
There was a clear pool that was about an acre wide. The water in the pool emitted a milky white halo that contained extremely powerful Law fluctuations.
This was the foundation of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace—the Jade Pool.
The water of the Jade Pool contained the Origin Power of the Law of Time. It had existed before the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace was established and was discovered by the Time Dao Ancestor, Sikong Ling, before she attained the Dao.
In order to collect the pool water, Sikong Ling specially established the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace and used the power of the entire Heavenly Palace to absorb the power of time in the Jade Pool.
Cultivating beside the Jade Pool could greatly increase the cultivation speed of the Law Power. Moreover, it was not only targeted at the Law of Time, but it could also have a significant enhancement effect on the cultivation of other Laws.
However, when Sikong Ling was in charge of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, the Jade Pool was his exclusive cultivation and was not open to anyone.
The reason why Sikong Xue could cultivate to the half-step Dao Ancestor realm so quickly with the Law of Time and even cultivate faster than Dao Ancestor Marvelous Light back then was because of the help of the Jade Pool Water.
Moreover, Sikong Xue was not as headstrong and arbitrary as Sikong Ling. As long as any Immortal Monarch expert under the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace made enough contributions, they could cultivate in the Jade Pool for a period of time.
As for the experts at the half-step Dao Ancestor Realm and the Dao Ancestor Realm, they obtained the qualifications to take turns cultivating beside the Jade Pool.
The main reason why the Dao Ancestor and the two half-step Dao Ancestor experts of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace were willing to be loyal to Sikong Xue was because she had opened the Jade Pool cultivation qualifications to them.
Apart from that, some top experts at the half-step Dao Ancestor Realm who had a good relationship with the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace also hoped to obtain the opportunity to enter the Jade Pool to cultivate.
A half-step Dao Ancestor was not the Dao Ancestor after all. He only had some abilities of the Dao Ancestor.
Only by transcending the Dao Heaven Great Tribulation could one become a true Supremacy expert.
However, although it was difficult to become a half-step Dao Ancestor, it was nothing compared to the Dao Heaven Great Tribulation.
The Heavenly Dao was extremely fair. The stronger the Laws cultivated, the closer they were to the Heavenly Dao Origin Power. After becoming a Dao Ancestor, their strength would be stronger.
However, the power of the Dao Heaven Great Tribulation before attaining the Dao would also be greatly different due to the difference in cultivation Laws.
The power of the Dao Heaven Great Tribulation that cultivated the nine Origin Laws was publicly acknowledged to be heaven-defying, especially when cultivating the Three Supreme Laws of Time, s.p.a.ce, and Reincarnation. Its heavenly tribulation required heaven-defying opportunities to transcend.
There were hundreds of half-step Dao Ancestors in the Ancestral Immortal World, about the same number as the supreme experts at the Dao Ancestor Realm.
However, many experts at the half-step Dao Ancestor Realm had no intention of taking another step forward.
After all, the strength of a half-step Dao Ancestor was enough to allow him to live for a long time. He could crush cultivators at the Immortal Monarch Realm, but he was no match for a supreme expert at the Dao Ancestor Realm.
After becoming the Dao Ancestor, he would be constantly enveloped by the shadow of the Heavenly Dao.
If he wanted to become the Dao Ancestor, he had to take the risk to transcend the tribulation. Once he failed, his cultivation of millions of years would be lost and his body and soul would be destroyed.
Otherwise, why would someone as powerful as Sikong Xue, who had already cultivated the Law of Time to perfection and had half a Time-type Chaos Numinous Treasure, not trigger the Dao Heaven Great Tribulation?
The Jade Pool Heavenly Palace had a treasure that could strengthen the Law Power and accelerate it. Under Sikong Ling’s generosity, it was inevitable for it to quickly recover its strength and prestige.
