Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 971: Yan Kai's Rise! 🌟

Published: August 10, 2026

In the cave dwelling hall, Liu Yu sat leisurely in the Grand Scholar Chair, holding a tome in his hands and reading it carefully, pausing now and then to ponder in deep thought.

Two beautiful maidservants stood behind him, gently fanning him with palm-leaf fans.

His personal maid, gu yueying, was holding a tray of sliced spiritual fruit, occasionally bringing a piece of fruit to his lips with her fair, slender jade-like hand.

Although he was already a yuan ying true lord, Liu Yu did not become arrogant or complacent, and had never stopped learning.

When he was not cultivating, he either browsed various ancient texts or read experiences and insights from other cultivators.

A trickle can become a sea, and grains of sand can build a tower!

The height of one's cultivation realm could not fully represent one's comprehension of the great dao of heaven and earth. Sometimes, the cultivation insights of a golden core cultivator could be refreshing and enlightening.

When cultivating to a profound realm, besides the depth of one's magical power, one's understanding of the great dao of heaven and earth also directly affected the strength one possessed.

The ultimate truths of the great dao were endless and boundless. With a cultivator's limited life, how difficult was it to explore infinite truth?

The way of rules was even more unreachable!

Even though his spiritual perception was high enough that he could "see" Silver Obscure Script, he still could not comprehend it in advance.

Fortunately, the cultivation world had left behind many books and records from past seniors. Standing on the shoulders of those who came before made comprehension much easier.

Before he knew it, he had turned to the last page of the tome. Liu Yu suddenly sighed softly, then set it aside.

Leaving aside how unreachable the way of rules was, even the mysteries of his main fire attribute cultivation had not been fully grasped. It felt as though he had only just entered the threshold, touching the slightest corner of the mysteries of flame.

The nine "Silver Seal Script" characters related to the nine mighty Spirit Clan beings, recorded from the scene within the strange stone stele, he had already studied several times, yet still found no clue.

Other than receiving the information contained within the symbols themselves, he had gained nothing else.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu suddenly had an inspiration, and a thought flashed through his mind:

"Just because I can't comprehend them doesn't mean I can't make use of them."

"Silver Seal Script itself contains power. If I carve it onto a true treasure, perhaps I can increase that treasure's might?"

"Of course, Silver Seal Script also has attributes, so I'd have to take attribute conflicts into account."

After this thought arose, he carefully considered it and felt that the plan was highly feasible. He decided that when he had time, he would try a few experiments.

At that moment, a maidservant quickly walked in from outside the cave dwelling and said after bowing, "Reporting to young master, ancestor yan has come to visit!"

The ancestor Yan she spoke of was naturally Yan Kai.

Once one advanced to the yuan ying realm, one would automatically become the second Grand Elder and a figure of ancestor generation.

"Let him in."

Liu Yu instructed calmly, then dismissed all the maidservants.

Although he did not personally handle the sect's affairs, advancing to the yuan ying realm required accumulating much more than before. Yan Kai was also the type who could endure loneliness; usually he was either in seclusion or out exploring.

Since he had come to visit now, it should be for something relatively important.

While Liu Yu was thinking, faint footsteps came from the cave dwelling corridor, and soon a male cultivator appeared in view.

This man was plainly dressed, with a simple gray robe draped over him, and his long hair tied neatly with a cord, arranged in meticulous order.

Though his clothing was simple, it did not make him seem shabby.

What Liu Yu noticed was that Yan Kai's spiritual pressure and aura had actually risen significantly once again.
