Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 1009: No, no, how can it smell like rust! 🛠️

Published: August 10, 2026

Chapter 1011: No, no, why does it taste like rust?

"At the sect, everything is already in place. The retreat route has been arranged."

"Besides Zhuo Mengzhen, Yan Qun'er, Jiang Qiushui, and ji ruyan have all been moved to a safe place."

"The sect and the women—there's no need to worry about them anymore."

"In this battle, Liu is fighting only for himself!!"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu smiled, and his heart was left with only calm and ease.

The flying sword sliced through the air, quickly entering within a thousand li of the Five Elements Pass.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Liu Yu's expression changed. He raised a hand lightly, and the flying sword immediately stopped. The figures of the golden core cultivators also abruptly halted.

Within his spiritual perception, some two to three hundred li ahead, three streams of spiritual pressure suddenly erupted into the sky.

These three streams of spiritual pressure far surpassed ordinary true lords, and even great cultivators fell short of them.

Like three blazing great suns, they carried an overwhelming sense of presence, pressing heavily on the hearts of the true lords.

The moment they appeared, the flow of qi within a hundred li seemed to freeze, and the thick clouds overhead rapidly dispersed.

From afar, it looked as though a huge hole had been punched through the sky.

The spiritual pressure was real and undeniable, but when the true lords swept their spiritual consciousness over the area, they found neither figures nor traces of anyone.

"This level of spiritual pressure is far beyond even great cultivators."

"There's no mistake—those must be Yulin, Red Whip, and Thunderstorm."

"Still, for Yulin True Lord to appear here at this time, it must mean either that he failed in his attempt to break through the divine transformation bottleneck, or that he has no confidence and hasn't begun yet."

The true lords made all kinds of guesses, and their expressions gradually turned solemn.

Blood Sea Demon Lord frowned. His spiritual consciousness swept the area several times in an instant, vaguely discovering that something was off in a few places, but without special methods it was difficult to see through it.

"A method similar to a wall of spiritual consciousness."

Liu Yu released his spiritual consciousness and found three figures on three mountain peaks, a look of understanding flashing through his eyes.

The method of a "wall of spiritual consciousness" was not especially brilliant, but it was very practical.

As long as the spiritual consciousness was strong and refined enough, it could deceive the spiritual consciousness sweeps of most true lords.

"Simple techniques, yet they can fool the vast majority of true lords. Even yuan ying perfection cultivators would have trouble detecting them."

"This level of spiritual consciousness covers at least nine hundred li, far exceeding the eight hundred li of yuan ying perfection. Truly worthy of a pinnacle true lord."

"It seems Primordial Master has noticed as well. Blood Sea Demon Lord is still a bit short."

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. By using the enemy's methods, Liu Yu gained a better understanding of his allies.

Spiritual consciousness had always been his strong point. It had long since reached thirteen hundred and fifty li, surpassing the basic requirement of a thousand li for attempting divine transformation.

It was enough to suppress even pinnacle true lords.

Coupled with his unceasing bitter cultivation over the years, his skill in using it also far surpassed most true lords, and by now he had no fear of any yuan ying-level spiritual consciousness technique.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yu relaxed and said with a smile:

"Since the three of them are not showing themselves and instead using such a method, they probably don't want the conflict to escalate."

"In Liu's view, they should be trying to control the scale of the duel of magic, or perhaps want to talk first."

"Two fellow daoists, do you dare come with Liu to meet them?"

Controlling the scale of the duel of magic and talking first without immediately erupting into conflict, to some extent, showed the attitude of the three great powers. The possibility of divine sovereigns directly overturning the table had become much smaller.
