I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

139: The Chaos Demon Emperor’s Celestial Palace is complete!Shen Nian’s pupils constricted slightly, revealing an expression of excitement.

Immortal Palace!

Even he hadn’t expected that the Golden Crow Emperor Palace would actually be an Immortal Palace Diagram!

This System is quite generous...

However, the Immortal Palace is difficult to forge, and he had no idea how many years of simulation value it would cost.

Even though his talent was already good enough.

And then there was the divine object to suppress the Immortal Palace. He didn’t know if this single Heavenly Dao Stone would be enough; the Immortal Palace would likely require an immortal object...

In this instant, Shen Nian thought of many things.

But the System’s simulation continued.

【Year 10: Over these years, you have been searching for an opportunity to comprehend the Golden Crow Emperor Palace. Yet, having traveled across this land radiating an incomparably ancient aura, you failed to find the palace diagram, let alone comprehend it. It wasn’t until the ninth year, while you sat alone on a mountain peak gazing up at the sun, moon, and stars, that you were shocked to discover the moon and sun in this sky were several times larger than those in the real world, giving one the feeling that they were close at hand. Gazing at them, a sense of your own insignificance arose spontaneously, and you even began to doubt if those in the Dao Integration Realm, who could pluck stars and tread upon the moon, could actually pluck the stars of this world. Yet, on this very day, you discovered that the Sun Star had actually begun to move. A pair of eyes quietly opened on its surface, vivid as a painting. A Three-Legged Golden Crow slowly rose into the sky, its entire body radiating a noble imperial aura. This sun was actually transformed from a Great Sun Golden Crow. The dazzling, scorching golden sun made it impossible for you to even open your eyes...!】

Shen Nian’s expression was grave, as if he had witnessed with his own eyes that indescribable Golden Crow, which looked down upon all things in the world, come into existence. That aura was the most terrifying he had ever seen since he was born!

What kind of creature was this? A mere palace diagram possessed such earth-shattering might. If its true form were to appear, what kind of terrifying commotion would that cause?

【Year 20: Fortunately, having the foundation from previously Cultivating the Great Sun Undying Sword Art, although this Great Sun transformed by the Golden Crow was countless times stronger than before, Shen Nian’s current strength was equally powerful. Over ten years, you finally saw the Three-Legged Golden Crow clearly. It was a true deity born of heaven and earth. With every breath, it seemed to pull at the pulse of the entire Universe, its eyes filled with disdain. The next second, the Golden Crow moved. The scene shifted to a Supreme Heavenly Palace with thirty-six levels. The Golden Crow was located at the very top, overlooking the myriad states of sentient beings. Countless creatures, whose appearances could not be seen, knelt on the ground. A majestic voice echoed, ”Worship the Eastern Emperor!”】

【Year 150: Over the course of 130 years, you witnessed the peak of this ancient Heavenly Court, and saw the Golden Crow known as the Eastern Emperor create an unprecedented, Supreme hegemony. It ascended as the Heavenly Emperor, established heavenly rules and commandments, and became the orthodox Supreme of this Universe. You began to follow these images and rules, carving a formation diagram within your body. In the diagram was the grand hall of the thirty-sixth level of the Heavenly Palace. At this moment, you also saw clearly the three characters condensed from Divine Power on the grand hall: ”Great Luo Heaven.” The Golden Crow Eastern Emperor sat on the throne, indifferent to all sentient beings, and even indifferent to you!】

【Same year: Born incomparably arrogant, how could you endure this treatment? Even though you had experienced nearly a thousand years of cultivation and your Heart-Nature was no longer that of the youth you once were, the arrogance innate in your bones made you extremely displeased. So what if the opponent was a god from the heavens? Clutching the Heavenly Dao cornerstone, you charged directly at the Three-Legged Golden Crow in the diagram...】

”...” Shen Nian’s eyelids twitched. How could this guy, even after a thousand years, still not have a steadier temperament?

However, he did not stop it. After all, this Golden Crow Diagram had to be fused eventually; otherwise, he would be unable to forge the dao palace.

【Year 200: A Sun God mark rotated between your eyebrows. The Heavenly Dao cornerstone fused into the Golden Crow in the formation diagram. In the process, the Three-Legged Golden Crow seemed to have been provoked, and a flash of anger crossed its eyes. It was an innate, disdainful rage, as if saying, ”An ant dares to profane a god!”】

【This caused your brow to sting. Immediately, you raised an eyebrow, your own temper flared. Since the Heavenly Dao cornerstone couldn’t suppress you, then I will do it myself. In an instant, you brandished the Chaos Divine radiance, the chaos essence blood flowed throughout your body, and your Golden Body Dharma Idol appeared, bringing with it endless Sword Intent to suppress it. During the process, Shen Nian was drenched in sweat. With his full power unleashed, he almost failed. It was only with the assistance of the Heavenly Dao cornerstone, combined with the various Talismans Shen Nian cast, that he completely fused with the Golden Crow. At the same time, the spiritual sea within your body transformed into long rivers, all of which merged into the formation diagram. The first layer of the grand hall was slowly forged, and its spirit gradually merged with the Golden Crow...】

”So difficult... If it were anyone else, they would likely have died on the spot just from the step of fusing the palace diagram...” Shen Nian couldn’t help but exclaim. His current strength was invincible within the Spirit Transformation Realm, and even in the ancient era, his combat power at the same stage would have been ranked high, yet he had still almost failed.

One could imagine the difficulty of fusing the diagram for this Golden Crow Emperor Palace.

The next second.

【Year 250: Radiating Chaos Qi, you sat on the throne, clutching the Heavenly Dao cornerstone. In nearly fifty years, you successfully forged the first layer of the dao palace within your body. This was the first of the thirty-six heavens. The crimson-gold grand hall stood slowly. Although it was blurry and only had its form, the bells of the Dao rang out loudly. Lightning Tribulation surged in the sky, as if to stop you from doing this Heaven-Defying deed, but you remained fearless, bathing in the Lightning Tribulation, as the Dao was accomplished within your body!】

【Ding, the Golden Crow Emperor Palace has been forged!】

Boom!

Around Shen Nian, azure lotus flowers bloomed. Countless ancient phantoms gradually condensed, bowing towards Shen Nian. Each phantom was obscured by divine radiance, making their forms indistinguishable.

At the same time, the spiritual power within his body transformed into the power of the Dao. The world before his eyes changed; at a glance, he could see the Dao structure constructed by the ruins’ barrier, and he could forcibly break it with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Shen Nian stepped onto the Ascending Heaven Road, now at the Void Return First Layer...

However, the simulation continued.

【Year 251: You discovered that due to a twist of fate, your Primordial Spirit became the object suppressing this first layer. This resulted in the items required for the Golden Crow Emperor Palace from then on not being divine objects or immortal objects, but actual living creatures. The more powerful the creature and the stronger its Bloodline, the stronger the dao palace would be. Furthermore, the number of items required for this first layer was ninety-nine, because ninety-nine positions had appeared above the grand hall...】

”Living creatures?” Shen Nian was suddenly stunned.

Creatures guarding the dao palace?

Where the hell am I supposed to get those?

Ninety-nine types? Does that mean he has to go kill ninety-nine people?

And they have to be powerful creatures with powerful Bloodlines?

It’s impossible to go wipe out other Ancient Desolate Families...

But after hearing the System simulation prompt, Shen Nian’s eyes paused.

【Year 300: You had a sudden inspiration. Since they are living creatures, why not use the Yao Race? You currently had eleven Yao Emperor Primordial Spirits fused within your body. No sooner said than done, you began trying to condense the Black Feather Yao Emperor’s Primordial Spirit and fuse it into the palace. But as soon as the Black Feather Yao Emperor entered the grand hall, it was instantly reduced to ashes, unable to withstand the might at all. You then tried one by one, until the Red Flame Golden-Winged Snake, which had a royal Bloodline, was fused in. It barely managed to stabilize, but it could only kneel in the ninety-ninth position. The Red Flame Golden-Winged Snake seemed to have its soul restored; at this moment, its Demonic Qi had been stripped away and transformed into pure Divine Power. Like a deity, it then displayed an expression of immense respect and bowed deeply.】

【Ding, due to your astonishing action, the palace diagram has changed.】

【Comprehension: chaos demon emperor immortal palace (Rare) — Void Return】

【Obtained Immortal Palace Slave: 1 (Red Flame Golden-Winged Snake)】

【Immortal Palace Slave: Can fuse its own power entirely into the Immortal Palace for the master’s use. Normally, it can repair and perfect the Immortal Palace, making it more stable.】

”This...” Shen Nian didn’t know how to express it for a moment. If you said he had no talent, he always managed to comprehend something.

If you said he did, he spent quite a lot of time on it.

So, does he have it or not?

Following this, Shen Nian thought for a moment and paused the simulation. This increase in strength was already very significant, going directly from the Nascent Soul Early Stage to the Void Return First Layer. The next step was to get some good Yao Race creatures, kill them, and send them into the Immortal Palace.

”It seems this is urging me to return to Eastern Profound...” Shen Nian couldn’t help but think. The truly powerful Yao Race were all in the Heavenly Demon Realm; there weren’t many in the Lower Realm. There was only one as powerful as this Red Flame Golden-Winged Snake, and it was only worthy of kneeling in the ninety-ninth position...

Immediately, Shen Nian’s gaze fell to the depths of the underground world, sensing the scorching heat radiating from within, as well as an aura of successive Breakthroughs.

【Ding, due to the strange fire bestowed by the Host, the Daughter of Destiny Xiao Qinger successfully Cultivated the Flame God Art and successfully refined the strange fire, giving birth to a fire spirit. Her Divine Phoenix Divine Body is extremely close to Awakening. She has condensed a Divine Grade Golden Core, wields the Azure Moon Spirit Fire, and her strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. Reward: 100 points of preaching value.】

【Current remaining preaching value: 167.5】

【Additional Reward: Chaos Divine Flame (One of the characteristics of the Chaos Body; originally it could only be used after the Chaos Body was condensed, but after this reward, it can be used in advance)】
