Chapter 418: Immortal Format

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Immortal Format

"Buzz!"

From the gap of the door, at the moment it was pushed open, a brilliant light surged out, accompanied by a staggering aura, descending upon Ji Chen, making him feel as if he was being watched by some terrifying creature, causing his body and mind to tremble involuntarily.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes, and only after gradually adapting to the brightness did Ji Chen slowly lower his hand, while his gaze turned towards the gap within the door.

But the space behind the stone gate was overwhelmingly bright, almost engulfing everything, and Ji Chen couldn’t see what kind of scene lay inside.

He paused for a moment in silence, then continued to exert force, pressing both hands on the stone gate and pushing it open with great effort.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Ji Chen managed to push open a gap wide enough for a person to enter.

He let out a slow breath, silently noting that this door was indeed sturdy, requiring a significant amount of effort from his Hongmeng Body to open it.

The light remained dazzling, but fortunately, Ji Chen had gradually adapted to it.

He didn’t hesitate for long and stepped forward towards the space behind the stone door.

Upon entering, the brightness inside seemed to have diminished, allowing Ji Chen to see everything clearly.

This underground palace was not very large, held up by massive stone pillars at both ends, with a semi-circular, very smooth ceiling.

The interior of the underground palace was sparse and empty, without any objects placed inside.

And at the very front, where the light source was, Ji Chen saw a half-human-high pedestal, resembling a square stone tablet.

Upon this stone tablet, he saw a peculiar crystal stone the size of a fist.

The shape of this crystal stone was like a teardrop, its entire body presenting a dark blue that emitted a dazzling white light.

"This is..."

Upon seeing this crystal stone, Ji Chen’s eyes involuntarily exploded with a gleam, and he exclaimed, "Immortal Format?!"

It is said that in the mortal world, the Emperor Realm is the highest supreme realm.

Since ancient times, no living creature has been able to break through above this realm to transform into an immortal.

The main reason is the lack of an Immortal Format within one’s body.

According to ancient records, the Immortal Format exists only in the Immortal Realm, containing Daoist Immortal Power within it, and only those who possess an Immortal Format can become immortals.

Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, unmatched in the world, without an Immortal Format, you will ultimately stop at the Great Emperor Realm, unable to transition into an immortal.

These revelations were something Ji Chen saw in the Qin Family’s ancient histories.

He never expected that the so-called Immortal Road in Longnan City wasn’t truly a path, but that an Immortal Format was present here.

If one obtains this Immortal Format and refines it, nourishing it within one’s Spiritual Sea, Ji Chen’s cultivation speed will increase by more than tenfold compared to now.

Moreover, possessing such an Immortal Format implies that achieving the Immortal Realm in the future will no longer be a difficult task.

While thinking such thoughts, Ji Chen was very excited, stepping forward and unhesitatingly grabbing the Immortal Format into his hand.

A burning sensation flowed clearly along his palm, instantly sweeping across his body.

Fortunately, this burning sensation didn’t last long and gradually became gentle, seeming to nourish every inch of his flesh and meridians.

"This is the legendary Immortal Format..."

His eyes sparkled as he carefully examined the Immortal Format in his hand, "I wonder if I can successfully refine it and nourish it within my Spiritual Sea?"

As he said this, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate, immediately leaving the underground palace with the Immortal Format, then quickly returning to the surface along the path he had excavated.

In the Celestial Residence, Ji Chen sat down cross-legged, released his Divine Thought, and attempted to establish a connection with the Immortal Format, trying to merge with it.

He sat there for a day and night.

The good news was that although the power within the Immortal Format was violent, it did not cause significant impact on Ji Chen’s body.

He attempted refining and ultimately succeeded in absorbing all the power within the Immortal Format.

"Buzz!"

Within his Spiritual Sea, an illusory image of the Immortal Format emerged, emitting a radiant Immortal Light that continuously nourished his body.

Ji Chen could distinctly feel that under the nourishing power of the Immortal Format, his physical body was gradually transforming, becoming much stronger than before.

Furthermore, his cultivation, after absorbing the Immortal Format’s power, was autonomously advancing at a terrifying speed, currently moving towards the Peak of the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer.

If this rate continues, Ji Chen can easily estimate that in less than a month, he will surely attempt to impact the Reincarnation Emperor Realm!

This is the immense change brought by the Immortal Format, as if allowing a person to completely undergo a transformation.

Moreover, after absorbing the Immortal Format, Ji Chen could sense, in the midst of the vast sky above, some force seemed to be calling to him.

This call is very likely originating from the legendary Immortal Realm!

"Boom!"

And while he was thinking this, suddenly, a fluctuation came on, causing the ground to tremble at this moment.

Ji Chen lifted his gaze, looking into the distance.

At some point, countless figures had appeared in the void outside Longnan City.

These were cultivators from the Yu Realm, and their number was considerable; a rough estimate showed at least fifty thousand people!

Moreover, these people weren’t weak, with nearly half having reached above the Saint Realm!

"They have finally arrived, huh..."

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, knowing that recently the Yu Realm was regrouping for a second massive attack.

"Strange, why is the city so quiet, and not a single person seen? Could it be that they have all been evacuated?"

In the high sky outside the city walls, a leading Yu Realm expert spoke.

"Maybe so, the recent battle devastated Longnan City, killing at least a hundred thousand people, weakening the defense forces; given the strategic position, they have likely evacuated, regrouping to defend other places."

"If so, why is the City Defense Array still here? And it seems to be stronger than before." Someone was puzzled.

"Swoosh!"

At this moment, a sound of breaking wind was heard, and then the light flashed, a figure flew out from somewhere within the city reaching the top of the city wall.

The newcomer was none other than Ji Chen; his gaze swept across the Yu Realm’s army ahead, appearing very indifferent.

"Oh? Didn’t expect there to be someone so reckless as to stay here?"

A middle-aged man sneered, his eyes swept over Ji Chen, speaking with great disdain, "Just a young generation? Are you lost here perhaps?"

"It’s him, Ji Chen!"

"The Hundred Victories Marquis of the Desolate Realm!"

But in the next moment, someone exclaimed, recognizing the figure on the city wall.
