253: The teleportation array behind the main hall leads to the search for the Azure Sea Pearl.
"Miss Liu, I'm going outside to investigate."
"You should change your clothes!"
Su Yun spoke directly.
Then, with a flash of movement, he arrived outside the hall and began observing the surroundings.
When he first entered the hall, he hadn't paid attention to the situation outside.
Now was the perfect time to investigate carefully; perhaps he would discover something else.
"And you claim you weren't paying attention!"
Liu Ruoxi muttered softly.
She looked around and found that there were several rooms within the hall.
So, she flashed into one of the rooms, closed the door, and changed into a cyan dress.
While changing, for some reason, she felt a bit nervous.
The thought of Su Yun being just outside the hall gave her a sudden, strange feeling in her heart.
A moment later, Liu Ruoxi finished changing and left the room.
Seeing Su Yun still investigating outside the hall, she suddenly felt a sense of loss.
Wait, no!
How could she think like that!
Liu Ruoxi shook her head, putting an end to her stray thoughts.
Then, she took a deep breath and, with light steps, walked out of the hall.
At this time, Su Yun was carefully observing the scene outside the hall when he suddenly discovered a special place behind it.
There was a small Formation there.
He pointed at the small Formation and said to Liu Ruoxi,
"Miss Liu, do you think this is a teleportation array?"
Meanwhile, Liu Ruoxi was staring at Su Yun.
Su Yun also felt Liu Ruoxi's gaze and asked, somewhat puzzled,
"Miss Liu, why do you keep looking at me?"
"It's nothing."
Liu Ruoxi suddenly snapped back to her senses.
Damn it.
She had actually accidentally zoned out while looking at Su Yun.
She really shouldn't have.
Thinking this, Liu Ruoxi shifted her gaze and carefully examined the place Su Yun had mentioned.
"It seems to be a teleportation array."
"Then let's activate this Formation and see what the situation is!"
"Okay."
Su Yun took out Spirit Stones and began to activate the Formation.
After five breaths, the Formation was activated, releasing a dazzling white spiritual light.
After the white spiritual light dissipated, a spatial vortex appeared in the center of the Formation.
Through the spatial vortex, one could vaguely see the scene on the other side.
It was an extremely exquisitely designed main hall.
"Could this be the Undersea Grand Hall mentioned in Chen Hao's life script?"
Su Yun thought to himself.
"Miss Liu, let's take the teleportation array to the other side and have a look!"
"Of course, if you have any suggestions, feel free to speak up."
Su Yun looked at Liu Ruoxi and spoke directly.
"I have no objections."
"Young Master Su, I'll follow your lead."
Liu Ruoxi nodded and said.
"Good, then let's go in together!"
Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi entered the teleportation array together.
After a wave of spatial fluctuations,
The two of them arrived outside a new hall.
This hall was tens of thousands of feet in size, its exterior covered in intricate and complex spiritual runes. However, it seemed to have suffered severe damage; many parts of the hall were in ruins, with rubble scattered everywhere.
"Canghai Palace?"
Su Yun noticed a broken plaque above the main hall's entrance with three large characters carved on it.
"I seem to have heard of this Sect somewhere."
Liu Ruoxi murmured as she looked at the plaque.
"Wait, I remember now."
The Haomiao Realm once had a sea-based Sect called the Canghai Palace.
However, the Canghai Palace was wiped out in a great war a thousand years ago, and the Small World it resided in also disappeared.
I also heard that several Sects besieged the Canghai Palace at that time."
"Perhaps this Abyssal Sea is what the Small World of the Canghai Palace transformed into. But why was the Canghai Palace besieged by multiple Sects?"
Su Yun asked curiously.
"It's said that the Canghai Palace offended a certain Tribulation Crossing Realm expert."
Liu Ruoxi's dark eyes looked into the distance as she continued.
"Miss Liu, have you ever heard of the canghai pearl?"
Su Yun asked again.
"The canghai pearl? You couldn't be talking about the Heaven And Earth Treasure unique to the Canghai Palace mentioned in legends, could you?"
It's said that refining the canghai pearl allows one to obtain an innate Divine Ability.
But this rumor might be false; no one has ever truly seen a canghai pearl.
Even if there really was a canghai pearl, it was likely taken by those Sects that attacked the Canghai Palace."
Liu Ruoxi continued.
"The canghai pearl is not a rumor."
"It might still be within this Canghai Palace."
Su Yun said with certainty.
The canghai pearl was definitely hidden within the grounds of this Canghai Palace.
The reason those Sects that attacked the Canghai Palace hadn't found it was that only a protagonist could find it.
This was yet another trope.
A classic case where a bunch of cultivation world powerhouses couldn't find a certain treasure, yet the protagonist finds it in some inconspicuous place.
"That's unlikely!"
I heard that the Sects that attacked the Canghai Palace back then sent out many Cultivators in the Enlightenment Realm.
Even if there really was a canghai pearl, it was probably taken by them."
Liu Ruoxi shook her head and said.
"I'm going to look for the canghai pearl right now."
Su Yun said directly.
"Young Master Su, you're joking, right?"
Liu Ruoxi looked at Su Yun with some suspicion.
"You'll see in a moment."
Su Yun looked at the interior of the Canghai Palace.
He found that the inside of the Canghai Palace was in total disarray.
Many shelves for storing items had fallen directly onto the floor.
And the shelves that hadn't fallen were completely empty.
In the deepest part of the Canghai Palace, there was also a huge secret chamber with its doors wide open; not a single Heaven And Earth Treasure remained.
"It seems I can only search according to the tropes."
Su Yun went directly to various inconspicuous places within the Canghai Palace and began his search.
"Tropes?"
"What do you mean?"
"And could there really be a canghai pearl in these places?"
Liu Ruoxi said, still disbelieving.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Su Yun had found nothing.
"Young Master Su, don't waste your energy. This Canghai Palace is clearly empty."
"There's no canghai pearl here, not even a common Heaven And Earth Treasure."
Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.
"If it's not inside, then it's outside."
Su Yun went to the entrance of the Canghai Palace and began to examine the surrounding scene.
"Sigh, why won't Young Master Su listen to my advice?"
Liu Ruoxi shook her head helplessly.
"Found it!"
Half an incense stick later, Su Yun discovered something slightly off next to the steps outside the Canghai Palace.
He probed it with his Divine Sense but didn't find anything special.
However, when he struck down with his fist, one of the stone bricks was exceptionally hard.
"How could it possibly be there!"
Liu Ruoxi hurried to Su Yun's side, speaking in disbelief.
After all, a normal Cultivator would certainly put a precious Heaven And Earth Treasure like the canghai pearl into a treasury.
How could it possibly be placed under an ordinary stone brick outside the Canghai Palace?
Then, Su Yun directly picked up that stone brick. Perhaps to make it easier to hide, there were no special Restrictions set on the brick, so he picked it up very easily.
But this was also normal; if a Restriction had been set on this stone brick, wouldn't that just be telling others that something was hidden there?
Once the stone brick was lifted, an exquisite jade box appeared before Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi's eyes.
