The difference between the two is simply worlds apart.

After entering the palace, he carefully inspected the surroundings. The ancient furnishings exuded a faint twilight aura, making Su Tu feel as if a single careless touch could turn them into dust.

The Profound Origin Hall was vast. After passing through the main hall, there were two enormous side halls. After a while, Su Tu had traversed the entire Profound Origin Hall.

Unexpectedly, the entire Profound Origin Hall was astonishingly clean.

Not only was there no dust, but there was not even the slightest thing left behind, only a few ornaments that seemed as though they would shatter upon touch.

This left Su Tu momentarily speechless.

Su Tu had many inquiries about his long and respectable title. As a direct disciple of the Supreme, putting aside his cultivation, the seniority alone placed him above the heavens.

Just based on this seniority and identity, being called the Profound Origin Dao Venerable seemed quite reasonable.

But the other prefixes, such as Supreme Heavenly Highest Miao Fa Daluo Celestial Emperor—these extraordinary-sounding titles left Su Tu very curious about their origins.

He thought he might find some answers in this Profound Origin Hall, but now he was greatly disappointed.

Previously, he acted cautiously, not only to avoid unintentionally destroying these old, decayed furnishings, but also because he knew that monsters inevitably lurk within ruins.

This was the knowledge Su Tu learned from forums, thus he was carefully on guard against monsters appearing from within.

It wasn't about fearing a fight with monsters, but wanting to destroy them with the fastest speed and smallest movement to avoid damaging the Profound Origin Hall.

After all, this Profound Origin Hall was a gift from the Supreme, and he didn't want to ruin it.

"What on earth happened that led to such decline of the entire Douluo Palace..."

Su Tu gazed around, his eyes narrowing.

Douluo Palace was situated in the Thirty-Three Heavens. In past years, Daluo had discussed the Dao here, incomparable divinity and countless Daoist Canons were contained within.

Logically, a place like this, existing outside the flow of time and beyond the river of principles, untainted by destiny and causality, should not have fallen into such ruin and decay.

This puzzled Su Tu to no end.

What exactly happened, what encounters transpired, that led such Daluo land to this state.

While pondering, Su Tu wandered casually within the Profound Origin Hall.

Unwittingly, he found himself in a very primitive small room.

This small house was made of ancient wood. From the outside, the overall structure seemed quite rough, as if constructed by an amateur.

Such a small wooden house, existing behind the Profound Origin Hall, carried an air of mystery.

This immediately piqued Su Tu's curiosity. He hurried over with quick steps to the wooden house, not even waiting to raise his hand to push the door.

Creak~

He saw that the door of the wooden house actually opened on its own.

Su Tu raised his eyes, and his gaze slightly trembled. Inside the wooden house was a very plain wooden table and three small wooden stools.

On that table were two teacups, and what truly caught Su Tu's attention was.

On those teacups... a few strands of steam were slowly rising, as if the tea inside had just been poured not long ago...

"This is..."

Looking at all this, Su Tu's eyebrows could not help but twitch.

He stepped forward a few steps to the wooden table, his Heart and Spirit shifting, and he became alert. When something is abnormal, there must be something uncanny.

In the situation where the entire Douluo Palace was so dilapidated, the presence of two cups of freshly brewed tea was highly unusual.

Su Tu casually pressed the back of his hand against the teacup; the warmth remained, with two-thirds of the tea inside the cup, any more would overflow.

"Someone was just drinking tea here?"

An absurd thought arose in Su Tu's mind.

Then, he looked at the three simple small wooden stools. The main seat's stool was close to the wooden table, while the other two were slightly more distant.

That is to say, two people sat in these positions, having just poured the tea, and the temperature of the tea was just right—any hotter and the aroma would not appear, any cooler and the bitterness would overflow.

Yet, the entire Douluo Palace, indeed the whole Thirty-Three Heavens, had fallen to this state. What kind of beings would leisurely drink tea here?

Could it be... that there are Immortals who never left, still residing here!!

Just as Su Tu was thinking this, he unwittingly sat down on one of the small wooden stools.

And at the very moment he sat on the wooden stool...

"What is the junior brother thinking?"

"Does the senior brother's tea not suit your taste?"

Suddenly, he sensed a figure appearing opposite him.

Su Tu's body abruptly tensed, his muscles ready to explode, his eyes lifted instantly, sharp and fierce.

However, just as Su Tu saw that figure, his entire expression involuntarily froze slightly.

Opposite him sat a youth with a jade-like face and impressive appearance. The youth was dressed in a robe of deep blue and gold, seemingly shrouded in clouds of mist behind him.

Although it was the first time seeing this person, Su Tu encountered a deeply familiar sensation on his presence.

Indifferent in serenity, as though within his gaze was the whole world; inaction through effortless action, as if everything was in his heart.

This was the tranquility only possessed by the Supreme, yet this youth gave Su Tu that same feeling, as if he were a young Supreme.

The only difference was, the Supreme liked simplicity, often wearing plain robes, while this youth was dressed in gold trim and silver. It wasn't these adornments that highlighted the youth's nobility, but that they were validated by this youth's presence.
