Tangyu and the other two followed the Sect Master Immortal and quickly arrived at the Nine Heavens. This was Tangyu's third visit here, so naturally it wasn't unfamiliar to him.

This time, being summoned by the Sect Master, Tangyu looked at him with a face full of questions. Surely there must be something important for them to be summoned here.

The Sect Master Immortal looked at the three of them, with a tone that was both serious and kindly, like an elder: "Calling you three here alone today is because I have an important matter to discuss with you, and it will also be a great opportunity for training—a supreme chance. If you perform well this time, it will be immensely beneficial to you, and it will be very important for your future ability to step into the Seeking Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Tangyu's heart was instantly moved, and he listened intently. For the Sect Master Immortal to say something like that, there must be great benefits involved. For Tangyu now, without a great opportunity, his strength won't improve quickly. Even if he goes exploring, he can't guarantee when he will encounter an opportunity.

Originally, Tangyu was also worried about where to wander after the disciple competition, but now it seemed he didn't need to worry about this issue.

Sun Wukong was also extremely excited upon hearing this: "Heh heh, are they going to let us out to play? Heh heh, I, Old Sun, have long wanted to go out and see. The world outside must be very exciting."

The Sect Master Immortal looked at Sun Wukong and also shook his head with a bit of helplessness, then continued: "I have three Luoyu Orders in my hand, allowing you three to enter the Luoyu Immortal Palace to explore. Your task this time is to undertake some training inside the Luoyu Immortal Palace, and hopefully when you come out, you will have undergone a transformation."

"Luoyu Immortal Palace?" Tangyu and Sun Wukong looked at each other, clearly unfamiliar with it. Pan Chenyu's face, however, was filled with intense excitement, clearly indicating that he knew about the Luoyu Immortal Palace.

Pan Chenyu explained to Tangyu and the others: "The Luoyu Immortal Palace is said to be the residence of a powerful Demi Immortal from the Ancient Times and is millions of years old. This Immortal was named Luoyu Immortal Venerate, extremely powerful, reportedly unmatched in the Ancient Times. Some say he had already become immortal. He was peerless in his lifetime, left behind countless myths, and his name resounded throughout history. Later in life, he mysteriously disappeared, and was never seen again."

"Some say Luoyu Immortal Venerate achieved Feathered Ascension, becoming immortal and ascending to the Immortal Realm. Others say he was near the end of his life and went to a place to pass away. There are many versions of this rumor with no consensus. The might of Luoyu Immortal Venerate is unquestionable; the fact that his name is remembered millions of years later speaks volumes about his power."

"The Luoyu Palace is said to be a powerful Immortal Artifact left by Luoyu Immortal Venerate. Over these millions of years, countless existences from the Seeking Immortal Realm have attempted to acquire this Immortal Artifact, but none have succeeded. Not even Immortal Venerates have succeeded, all attempts have failed, which has only added to the fame of Luoyu Immortal Palace. It is even said that the Luoyu Immortal Palace once displayed its might and killed an Immortal Venerate, so no one dares to covet it anymore. Whether this rumor is true or not is unknown, but for certain, no one dares to covet the Luoyu Immortal Palace now."

"Inside the Luoyu Immortal Palace, it's said that the inheritance of Luoyu Immortal Venerate remains, with countless treasures and celestial materials, everywhere. For cultivators, it is an excellent place for training with immense benefits. Basically, whoever trains inside comes out with great gains. If one is lucky, they might even obtain a fine treasure. It is said that within the Luoyu Palace, there are countless treasures, spiritual treasures, and even Half-Immortal Artifacts. Over the millions of years, stories of heavy treasures being acquired in the Luoyu Palace often emerge."

"Another very attractive aspect is that the flow of time inside the Luoyu Immortal Palace is five times that of the outside world, so staying in the Luoyu Immortal Palace for five years equals only one year outside. This fivefold time flow is a huge advantage for us cultivators. Only those with a Luoyu Order can enter the Luoyu Palace, at that, only Golden Core Realm Seventh Level and below can enter. The time set is one year outside, and once that time is up, the Luoyu Palace will automatically send you out, which is quite magical. It is known as one of the major wonders in our Immortal Cultivation World, a place every Immortal Clan vies for."

After hearing Pan Chenyu's account, Tangyu was moved, and quite shocked: "What, a fivefold time flow, having such terrifying mastery over the Great Dao of time, this is controlling the time in a small world to run at five times the speed, could it be mastery over the Great Dao of time? Wouldn't that mean it has become an Immortal? Could it be that Luoyu Immortal Venerate truly was an Immortal?"

The Sect Master Immortal shook his head and said: "It's possible, but there is no definite conclusion. Time-accelerated places are not unheard of in the Cultivation World, but the others are naturally formed, embodying the creation of heaven and earth. Only this Luoyu Palace is left by Luoyu Immortal Venerate and is incredibly marvelous. So many suspect that Luoyu Immortal Venerate has already ascended to immortality. But for now, you shouldn't bother with that, prepare yourselves, and in a month, get ready to head to Luoyu Palace. This is a great opportunity for you. I've given you the opportunity, whether you gain from it depends entirely on you."

Tangyu nodded, having this opportunity, he was also filled with ambition. Sun Wukong had a casual manner, thinking only of the chance to go out and play.

Pan Chenyu also secretly clenched his fists: "In a month's time, I must break through to the Golden Core Realm. I have already touched the opportunity for a breakthrough, and I believe a month's time is enough for me to reach the Golden Core Realm. Without the Golden Core Realm, entering there would be extremely dangerous. In this month, I must fight."

The Sect Master Immortal added: "There's one more thing, do not mention this to anyone. This is a secret."

Tangyu and the other two nodded. Seeing the Sect Master Immortal's serious expression, even the mischievous Sun Wukong nodded as well.

The Sect Master Immortal waved to Tangyu and Pan Chenyu, saying: "Alright, you can return now. Take a month to prepare well. This time's training is extremely dangerous, do not be careless. Keep the Luoyu Order safe." After speaking, the Sect Master Immortal waved his hand, and three white ancient tokens fell into the hands of the three.

The feeling given by the token was quite unique, as if some strange power was transmitted from it. This power wasn't strong; rather, it was very gentle, making people feel close to it. There were some odd patterns and runes on the token. Anyway, Tangyu couldn't understand them, so he just kept the Luoyu Order and left.

Back at the residence, Yaomei had not yet emerged from closed-door cultivation. With one month to prepare, it was essential to elevate his strength somewhat. This way, going to the Luoyu Immortal Palace would have additional assurance. A month could be considered neither short nor long. If utilized well, it might be possible to further elevate his strength.

Tangyu directly entered the seclusion room. As for the Pangu Nine Axes, cultivating the Third Axe was extremely difficult. Creating the Third Style of the Bright Moon Sword Art was also very challenging. Ground Shrinking and Void Obliteration were too difficult to cultivate, so after some thought, Tangyu realized the most feasible approach was the Undying Nine Transformations. As long as he could acquire the materials for the Third Transformation, he had some confidence he could elevate the Undying Nine Transformations to the Third Transformation, significantly boosting his strength.

After much deliberation, this was the easiest path, practical, and could enhance his strength.

"The Darkness Ghost went out to collect materials for the Undying Nine Transformations. No idea when he'll return. Now, I have over five hundred Merit Points. I might as well go to the Treasure Hall and exchange for some treasures. Perhaps the Treasure Hall has the materials I need. With over five hundred Merit Points, surely it's easy to redeem them. And the Nine Plate Axe I had my eye on last time, three hundred and fifty Merit Points, now I can also redeem it. I have five hundred Merit Points; it's essential to use them quickly to bolster my strength. No point keeping Merit Points otherwise. Off to the Treasure Hall."

Thinking up to this point, Tangyu promptly got up, preparing to go to the Treasure Hall to exchange for treasures, converting Merit Points into personal strength to reveal their true value. That Nine Plate Axe, Tangyu had been coveting for a long time.

Just as he was about to go to the Treasure Hall, a shadow suddenly emerged from the void. It was the return of the Darkness Ghost. Seeing the Darkness Ghost return, Tangyu asked, "How did the material collection go?"

The Darkness Ghost replied: "Master, this time the luck was good. The materials for the first six transformations are all gathered, enough for both of us to cultivate. However, for the Seventh Transformation, only one set of materials was collected, and as for the Eighth and Ninth Transformations, they couldn't be gathered for now, too scarce."

The ability of the Darkness Ghost was indeed remarkable. A trip out, and he collected all the materials for the first seven transformations. Tangyu smiled and said: "That's sufficient. I can't cultivate that far for now, you proceed with the Seventh Transformation, which is manageable for now. The materials for the Eighth and Ninth Transformations are indeed too rare and precious. Later, we'll find a method; for now, give me a set of the materials for the first six transformations."

The Darkness Ghost immediately tossed Tangyu a Qiankun Bag, and the materials for the first six transformations were indeed collected in abundance, enough to cultivate. With the timely delivery of materials by the Darkness Ghost, Tangyu didn't need to spend additional Merit Points to exchange at the Treasure Hall.

After talking briefly with the Darkness Ghost, Tangyu quickly headed to the Treasure Hall. Over here, at the Treasure Hall, the Elder saw Tangyu, his expression changed dramatically, his gaze different from the last time. This was a world of difference. Now, Tangyu was a renowned figure at the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, known to all, an extraordinary genius, an unrivaled evil demon. So, when the Elder at the Treasure Hall saw Tangyu, he smiled kindly and asked: "Tangyu, is there anything you wish to exchange? You have over five hundred Merit Points, so the options are quite numerous."

Tangyu nodded and said: "Yes, the options are indeed quite numerous, but there aren't many that stir my heart. I'll go inside and take a look before deciding."

The Elder at the Treasure Hall nodded to Tangyu: "Alright, go ahead and choose carefully, no need to rush."
