CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 491: GANGES SOUL CAPTURING TECHNIQUE

"The rest of you, return to your respective places. Wang Xu, follow me."

The other talents of the Immortal Tang Divine Palace, although having secured a place on the Celestial God List, were not the most treasured figures whose fame spread across the chaos. Compared to Wang Xu, they naturally seemed somewhat inferior.

"Junior Brother Wang, I’ll be waiting for you in the Dragon Scale Realm, make sure to come find me!"

The senior brothers and sisters bid farewell to Wang Xu one by one and then waved goodbye.

Wang Xu followed alongside the Desolate Fury Ancestor, journeying forward continuously until they reached a palace suspended in the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist.

The Desolate Fury Ancestor took out a talisman engraved with the words "Immortal Tang." With a flick of his hand, the talisman flew out, dissolving layers of invisible array barriers before them, revealing a path leading directly to the palace gates.

"Let’s go."

The Desolate Fury Ancestor, with a wave of his sleeve, brought Wang Xu to the front of the palace doors.

With great force, the Desolate Fury Ancestor pushed open the massive palace doors, revealing a spectacular scene before Wang Xu.

"Within this palace... there is actually a world within a gate!"

What unfolded before Wang Xu was an endless sky where clouds flowed, strong winds danced, and innumerable floating lands spread like stars in a celestial palace he had once imagined in myth.

"Welcome to the Immortal Tang Holy Palace!"

At this moment, a figure clad in Flowing Cloud White Armor approached from the horizon, landing beside Wang Xu, and said with a smile, "So you are the leading figure of the Hundred Generations on the Celestial God List, Wang Xu. Not bad, indeed very impressive."

"Greetings, Senior."

Wang Xu respectfully bowed.

"’Senior’ is too formal, just call me Immortal Bai Ancestor. To reach such a monstrous level of talent, achieving a physical realm of a Billion Era Celestial God despite being in the Hundred Generations Celestial God Realm, is rare even in chaos. How about becoming my direct disciple? I will surely cultivate you well!" Immortal Bai Ancestor said with gleaming eyes.

"Immortal Bai, don’t get any ideas. The Palace Master has said this must be decided together with the other Ancestors at Shengxiao Hall."

The Desolate Fury Ancestor said with a smile.

"Of course, I am aware of this. The Palace Master and the Ancestors are already waiting at Shengxiao Hall. Let’s proceed."

As he spoke, Immortal Bai Ancestor, together with the Desolate Fury Ancestor, guided Wang Xu towards Shengxiao Hall.

Wang Xu was mesmerized by the splendid scenery.

"This is the true Immortal Realm!"

He had seen the most vast cosmos, the most beautiful nebula, the most magnificent palaces... but the scene of the celestial palace before him gave him a different feeling. This was the ideal image of the Immortal Realm in his heart.

A moment later.

The three golden characters of Shengxiao Hall shone glaringly, and the Desolate Fury Ancestor and Immortal Bai Ancestor descended to the ground, with a hint of reverence in their expressions.

They entered Shengxiao Hall.

"Such terrifying life suppression!"

As Wang Xu just approached Shengxiao Hall, it felt as though an overwhelming aura of life bore down upon him, making it hard for him to breathe.

The Desolate Fury Ancestor noticed this, and with a wave of his sleeve, an invisible force enveloped Wang Xu, isolating all life aura.

"Desolate Fury, I greet the Palace Master."

"Immortal Bai, I greet the Palace Master."

The two respectfully saluted an entity seated above in Shengxiao Hall.

"Greetings, Senior Mentors."

Wang Xu also immediately saluted.

Standing in rows beside him were Ancestor figures with varied attires, yet each aura was more profound and terrifying than the last. Even though the life aura was isolated, just a glance from the entity seated at the top made Wang Xu’s heart tremble with fear.

"Wang Xu, welcome to join the Immortal Tang Divine Palace."

The entity seated above spoke with a faint smile.

Only when the voice came did Wang Xu feel that the gaze of this person was not as terrifying as before, and his heart gradually calmed. He also saw the true appearance of the person before him.

This was a man with wings on his back, bright blue eyes, wearing something like a sun-shaped ornament.

His bare torso was wrapped with a striped practice cloth of yellow and white, appearing casually yet filled with endless profound meanings. When Wang Xu saw him, he felt as if a mortal had seen a god, compelled to worship.

Palace Master Tai Yang, the Immortal Tang Palace Master, were both beings of the Great Emperor Realm, yet they brought entirely different feelings, showing the significant distinctions among those in the Great Emperor Realm.

"Junior Wang Xu greets the Immortal Tang Palace Master."

Wang Xu replied.

"No need for formalities."

The Immortal Tang Palace Master smiled lightly, "Since you have joined my Immortal Tang Divine Palace, you are now part of Tang’s family. Here, we work united and there’s no need for excessive courtesies among us."

The smile and words of the Immortal Tang Palace Master seemed to be filled with magic, making people feel pleased, wishing to draw closer.

"Wang Xu!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with solitude arose in Wang Xu’s heart, startling him, "This is the ’Enchanting Sound’ of the Great Emperor figures. Every word, every syllable contains the enchantment of faith. Do not focus on listening too much, or your inner world will be transformed by the influence of faith."

Wang Xu wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead secretly.

It’s terrifying that a person of the Great Emperor Realm can, with just a single word or sentence, easily transform someone’s mind completely.

"Fortunately today, you encountered not the true body of the Great Emperor, but a virtual figure like me; otherwise, just the words you heard earlier would be enough to transform your mind entirely, making you completely devoted to the Immortal Tang Divine Palace."

You Ji said.

"Could it be that the Immortal Tang Divine Palace is a den of tigers and wolves?"

Wang Xu’s vigilance arose.

"No, this is quite normal. You need not worry, for this is the specialty of those in the Great Emperor realm. When I followed Qing Fa back then, his every word also carried an enchanting sound, so there is no need for alarm."

You Ji said.

Only then did Wang Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

"...Join my Immortal Tang, and my Immortal Tang will naturally give you the best training. However, I cannot extricate myself recently and find it difficult to personally teach you the secrets of Immortal Tang. Therefore, I have specially summoned the various ancestors of Immortal Tang for you to choose from one to become your master."

Choosing an ancestor realm person as one’s master?

Such a thing would definitely be unimaginable in the outside world.

An ancestor realm person, each stands at the pinnacle of chaos, known figures in chaos, always choosing disciples themselves—how can there be disciples choosing them?

However, this also depends on the person.

Wang Xu, having emerged from a small place as a peak genius, relied on neither the Divine Palace nor great clans and was not even from a divine dynasty super clan, yet managed to reach such a level.

From this, it can be seen that Wang Xu’s talent and opportunities will inevitably make him a lord in the future, achieving a status above most ancestors, and he could very likely become one of the Great Emperor realm figures at the peak of chaos.

A future Great Emperor realm talent naturally has the qualification to choose their own master.

"This..."

Wang Xu found it difficult to make a decision for a moment.

Among the ancestors present, there were at least a hundred. Besides Draconic Ancestor and Immortal Bai Ancestor, Wang Xu knew no one—how to choose?

"Haha... it was foolish of me. You’ve just arrived at Immortal Tang and are unfamiliar with the various ancestors. Naturally, it’s difficult to decide."

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang shook his head with a smile, "How about this? Tell me whether you wish to practice Thunder Technique, Fire Technique, Water Technique, or Light Technique. Among the various ancestors, there is sure to be a master most suitable for you!"

Each ancestor realm reached Heaven-Reaching Ancestor by walking different paths.

Even if they practice the same Fire Technique, the details differ greatly.

Because the birth of any strong person is not achieved by copying others’ realizations but must be experienced and realized by oneself, walking one’s own path of the ancestor.

"I do not wish to practice any magic, only to resurrect my family."

Wang Xu said quietly, "The reason I chose to join Immortal Tang back at Celestial God Peak was precisely for this reason."

"Resurrect your family?"

Upon these words, uproar arose in Shengxiao Hall. The ancestors were all discussing, seemingly surprised at Wang Xu’s condition to resurrect his family.

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang slightly furrowed his brow.

"Report to the Palace Master, this indeed was the condition for Wang Xu joining our Immortal Tang Divine Palace, and the only condition."

Draconic Ancestor spoke up.

Among the many invitations from the ancestors at Celestial God Peak, Draconic Ancestor was the first to invite him and naturally knew best why Wang Xu would join Immortal Tang.

"Immortal Tang was once renowned throughout chaos for the ’Ganges Soul Capturing Technique,’ but that is a thing of the past."

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang said solemnly, "Since the unknown incident with the Ganges River, the success rate of the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique has greatly decreased. If it fails, the soul captured from the Ganges will be completely dissipated and never reborn. This point, you must understand."

The Ganges Soul Capturing Technique was a resurrection technique created by the Palace Master of Immortal Tang.

Unlike generally reversing the Supreme Law and touching the Ganges by ancestor-level powers, the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique can more efficiently locate the soul to be resurrected while increasing the resurrection success rate by fifty percent!

The most crucial point is that it can halve the cost of resurrection!

You must know, retrieving souls from the Ganges to resurrect beings requires a great price.

This price can drastically rise as the resurrected beings’ realm strengthens.

Thus, the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique caused a commotion in chaos. Many ancestors joined Immortal Tang just to practice the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique.

"Palace Master of Immortal Tang, the people I wish to resurrect are just ordinary mortals, the highest not exceeding the Star Level. To you and any ancestor present, it should pose no difficulty at all!"

Wang Xu continued.

It was precisely upon hearing that Immortal Tang Divine Palace possessed the resurrection technique of ’Ganges Soul Capturing Technique’ that shook chaos, that Wang Xu came in admiration, choosing Immortal Tang Divine Palace.

Yet now, the Palace Master of Immortal Tang tells him that the Ganges Soul Capturing Technique is no longer effective!

How is Wang Xu to accept this?

"It’s too late; whether resurrecting mortals or Saint Venerables, the same problem must be faced."

The Palace Master of Immortal Tang sighed almost imperceptibly, "Even if my true self were to come, it may not be possible to resurrect your family."

Wang Xu was stunned in place, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

If even the creator of the resurrection technique, the Palace Master of Immortal Tang, says such words, is there anyone else in chaos who can help him?

In that moment, Wang Xu felt an unprecedented despair.

"Palace Master, I would like to give it a try."

At this time, a voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone’s gaze.
