The unparalleled and transcendent demeanor, aloof from the mundane, commands attention wherever one goes, boosting charm and favorability.
"It's a crimson destiny!"
This surprised Xu Chuan.
After all, it was just a basic destiny draw, and Xu Chuan hadn't expected to draw any astonishing talents.
But he had actually drawn a crimson destiny!
Although this destiny couldn't increase his strength or luck, it did enhance his charm and the favorability others held towards him.
Xu Chuan was quite satisfied.
After all, which man wouldn't like a more handsome and charismatic version of himself?
"New destiny has been equipped, please check!"
A new prompt appeared.
The next moment.
Xu Chuan felt as if his entire being had been sublimated, an otherworldly and solitary aura emanating from him.
He dared to guarantee that no woman could resist the allure of this aura.
After experiencing the changes brought about by "The Unrivaled and Transcendent Demeanor," Xu Chuan smiled faintly.
This smile further elevated his charm.
He opened his information panel again.
It was now different from before.
[Name: Xu Chuan]
[Realm: Divine Ability Realm First Layer]
[Talent: Unrivaled Under Heaven]
[Destiny: Defying Fate (Gold), Solar Sacred Body (Gold), Saber Soul Seed (Crimson), The Unrivaled and Transcendent Demeanor (Crimson)]
[Divine Abilities: Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique, Solar True Fire, Hundredfold Amplification]
[Life Script: You have defied fate, making the future difficult to discern.]
[Life Trajectory: You have defied fate, past and future are inscrutable!]
...
Not only had his talent changed from "Invincible King" to "Unrivaled Under Heaven," but a crimson destiny, "The Unrivaled and Transcendent Demeanor," had also been added.
Furthermore, a "Divine Abilities" section had appeared, allowing him to view the innate divine abilities of others.
As his realm improved, the system's functions became increasingly comprehensive.
More and more new features awaited Xu Chuan's development and utilization.
These functions would also help Xu Chuan ascend step by step to become a supreme powerhouse.
And while Xu Chuan was in seclusion.
A piece of news spread throughout the Eastern Domain.
The emergence of this news sent ripples of shock across the entire Eastern Domain.
Several days prior, the boundless sea adjacent to the Eastern Domain had suddenly become turbulent. Waves of a hundred meters, normally rarely seen, became commonplace.
Accompanying these massive waves was a golden radiance stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
This anomaly immediately alerted the martial artists along the coast.
They then formed groups to investigate.
Passing through numerous colossal waves, they finally reached the source of the anomaly.
The result was astonishing:
In the midst of the sea, a colossal, world-shaking turtle appeared, with an immense golden palace resting upon its back.
These massive waves were caused by the turtle's movement.
With each step it took, it stirred the sea, creating towering waves.
And the golden radiance emanated from the golden palace.
Among this group of martial artists, some immediately recognized it as the Golden Ancient Palace, whispered about by the older generation, containing peerless treasures and countless opportunities and inheritances!
In an instant, these martial artists erupted in excitement.
They scrambled towards the Golden Ancient Palace.
However.
Before they could even glimpse the entrance to the Golden Ancient Palace, they were devoured by the giant turtle's maw.
Those who survived were terrified and dared not linger any longer, fleeing immediately.
These individuals then spread the news of the giant turtle and the Golden Ancient Palace.
Upon learning of this, the various forces of the Eastern Domain were shaken.
After recovering, they successively dispatched their disciples to the boundless sea in search of this Golden Ancient Palace.
Even more numerous were the lone cultivators, who, in pursuit of a sliver of opportunity, rushed to the sea region where the Golden Ancient Palace appeared, hoping to enter it when it opened.
Tide City.
This was a city situated on the edge of the boundless sea.
Although the city was vast, its permanent population was small, and martial artists were even fewer.
This was because not only were cultivation resources scarce, but it was also frequently attacked by sea monsters.
The existence of this city was entirely due to a type of clam monster found here, which produced abundant pearl shells. These pearl shells were the primary material for the Youth Restoring Pill.
Therefore, lone cultivators often came here to gather pearl shells in exchange for cultivation resources, and over time, Tide City was formed.
However, even so, its population was far less than that of other human cities.
But now, a drastic change had occurred here.
The once sparsely populated city, with the appearance of the Golden Ancient Palace, had become the most bustling place in the entire Eastern Domain.
Countless lone cultivators and disciples from small sects and families gathered here.
Yet, figures from the major holy lands, sects, and even the Great Wei Dynasty were rarely seen.
It wasn't that these forces disregarded the Golden Ancient Palace.
Quite the opposite, it was precisely because they valued it that they proceeded with such caution, planning every move.
After all.
These forces, with millennia or even tens of millennia of history, understood the terrifying nature of the Golden Ancient Palace.
Since its appearance on the Xuan Tian Continent ten thousand years ago, every time it emerged, it invariably caused a bloody storm.
Countless martial artists perished within it.
The Golden Ancient Palace was both an opportunity and a crisis.
Only prodigies had a chance of surviving within the Golden Ancient Palace.
Most crucially, only martial artists below the Reincarnation Realm could enter the Golden Ancient Palace.
Beyond the Reincarnation Realm, no matter how powerful one was, they could not enter.
There were also those who defied fate and attempted to forcibly break through the rules to enter.
However, their final fate was to be buried within the turtle's maw.
Because this giant turtle not only bore the task of carrying the Golden Ancient Palace but was also its guardian divine beast.
It was a Sky King Realm Water-Repelling Mysterious Turtle, possessing immense power!
Of course, there were opponents that even the Mysterious Turtle could not resist.
Ancient texts recorded that on one occasion, after the Golden Ancient Palace appeared, a powerful individual, whose foot was already on the threshold of the Emperor Venerable Realm, broke through the Mysterious Turtle's guardianship and successfully reached the palace gates.
However, just as he was about to enter, the Golden Ancient Palace's formation detected his presence.
In an instant, this expert, who was infinitely close to the Emperor Venerable Realm, was annihilated by the formation, leaving not even a trace.
Since then, no one had dared to violate the rules of the ancient palace.
This was one of the reasons why these major forces were so confident.
Another reason was that the Golden Ancient Palace would only open a month after its appearance.
Each opening lasted for half a month.
Therefore.
These major forces were not in a hurry at all.
They were meticulously selecting their disciples, waiting for the Golden Ancient Palace to open before allowing them to enter.
After all, the Golden Ancient Palace was fraught with danger, and a single misstep could lead to death.
This forced them to be cautious.
Because each and every prodigy disciple was a precious asset to their respective sects, and they could not afford to lose them.
On the other hand, the lone cultivators and those from small sects and forces were fearless, as they could simply throw people at it. As long as one person obtained an opportunity within the ancient palace, they would consider it a profit.
Under these circumstances, the entire Eastern Domain near the boundless sea began to descend into chaos.
