73: Yao Chen’s surprise!

Chapter 73: Yao Chen’s Astonishment!

073, Yao Chen’s Astonishment!

“What is that?!”

The afterglow of the sunset spilled onto the “mountains,” making the palace mysterious and majestic.

It even made some magical beasts feel the urge to go forward and worship it!

In Qingshan Town, closest to the Monster Mountains, the bustling streets were still filled with all sorts of boisterous mercenaries.

When a roar came from within the mountain range, almost everyone’s gaze immediately turned towards the Monster Mountains.

The burly men, who were spewing saliva just a second ago, now stood with wide-open mouths, their faces filled with horror.

As they watched a “mountain” made of white jade appear,

some devout young women immediately knelt towards the “mountain” and closed their eyes to make a wish!

… … … …

“What a magical treasure!”

Lu Chuan, of course, couldn’t know about the commotion outside. Looking at the Lingxiao Palace, which had suddenly transformed into a huge mountain, he also exclaimed in his heart.

Then, taking a step, Lu Chuan directly entered this vast palace.

Inside the palace, white jade and golden bricks adorned the great hall, and sacred dragons and phoenixes in flight were engraved on the carved beams and painted rafters.

Looking into the distance, he couldn't tell how many thousands of meters it stretched.

Countless exquisite palaces and pavilions were scattered in various corners of the distant, misty fairyland!

This scene, falling into Lu Chuan’s eyes, instantly left him speechless!

To say it was extremely magnificent, showcasing luxury!

It was only an understatement, not an exaggeration!

The most intuitive feeling was as if he were in a fairyland.

It was like being in the residence of the Jade Emperor!

“In my previous life, all my money was used for targeted poverty alleviation, so I couldn’t afford a house. I never thought the system would directly take over a palace now!”

“I love it, I love it!”

Lu Chuan surveyed everything in the palace, very satisfied with this reward.

Moreover, the palace had a self-defending Innate Xuanling Grand Array.

It could be upgraded as his cultivation improved!

“I wonder if this array is really that magical!”

Lu Chuan murmured, then with a thought.

Inside the palace, the sky, which had just been daytime, was suddenly draped in a black curtain.

Above the night sky, countless points of light sparkled with a soft glow, like a sky full of stars, so beautiful that one couldn’t look away!

But if some ignorant person thought it was just a decoration and tried to force their way in,

those seemingly soft starlight could roast him into a crispy black mess!

And at the same time the grand array was activated, a chaotic-colored light cluster in Lu Chuan’s soul quietly emitted a gentle glow.

“Is this the Innate Xuanling that can hide the aura and cultivation of magical beasts?”

Lu Chuan paid attention to the light cluster in his soul, feeling a faint unease.

“System, will the Innate Xuanling suddenly develop consciousness one day and usurp me?”

After a moment, finding that the Innate Xuanling had no self-awareness, Lu Chuan was still a little worried and asked the system for verification.

“Ding, Innate Xuanling: Can hide the aura and cultivation of magical beasts for the host, and at the same time check the host’s current strength to adjust the power released by the grand array. No side effects!”

After receiving the system’s explanation, Lu Chuan felt relieved.

Now with the blessing of this grand array, as long as he was in the palace, his strength would increase by more than ten times.

He had absolute confidence!

Below the Dou Zun realm.

He could destroy them with a single thought!

As Lu Chuan surveyed the entire Lingxiao Palace, he increasingly felt that Xun'er was simply his lucky star!

It is said that the first time at each life node is particularly important.

Because, the four rewards the system gave him this first time.

The Bloodline Experience Pill allowed him to break through to Dou Huang.

The Lingxiao Palace gave him a powerful foundation, and in the future, he could even establish his own force!

Looking at the misty hall in front of him, Lu Chuan’s mind moved, and a three-foot-tall Nine-Colored Divine Lotus, with its bud tightly closed, appeared in his palm.

This was the third reward, and also the one Lu Chuan was most looking forward to.

Of course, there were also the Soul Contract Scroll and the Immortal Water as rewards.

The Soul Contract Scroll allowed him to enslave others after they willingly submitted.

With a single thought, he could control the life and death of others!

And the Soul Contract Scroll only increased his foundation. As for the person he needed to control, he already had someone in mind, so he naturally had no further expectations for it!

As for the Immortal Water, which was similar to the potent Golden Fly and could double pleasure, it was not worth mentioning!

Lu Chuan’s gaze fell on the nine-colored flower bud.

Suddenly, as the flower bud came into contact with the outside world, the tightly closed bud loosened slightly, and then a wisp of nine-colored, mesmerizing light subtly emerged from the center of the flower, as if it was about to burst forth…

In an instant, the center of the flower bud slowly opened, and then suddenly burst forth with dazzling nine-colored light, piercing through the Lingxiao Palace and wildly shooting in all directions.

From a distance, the Lingxiao Palace at this moment resembled a beautiful nine-colored treasure mountain!

The colorful anomaly suddenly dyed the sky above with a vibrant glow.

“Heaven and Earth Anomaly!”

“A rare treasure has appeared!”

As the anomaly erupted from the Lingxiao Palace, all the magical beasts in the entire Monster Mountains stared at the sudden appearance of the sky-filling glow, stunned for a moment, then their eyes revealed a covetous look as they exclaimed.

“Boom…”

“Rumble…”

As the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus shone brightly, not long after, countless plumes of smoke flew out from the forests within the Monster Mountains, dyeing the distant sky a vast yellow.

“Roar…!”

Deafening roars of magical beasts echoed through the sky, and the earth trembled, causing leaves to fly everywhere within the entire mountain range!

“Screech…!”

Sharp cries of birds of prey filled the high sky, their shadows numerous, moving from far to near, a dense swarm!

Some low-level magical beasts, seeing the huge palm print suddenly appear in their territory and countless flying magical beasts in the sky, were so scared that they hid in their caves, trembling.

Fearing they would become a casualty under some magical beast’s claw!

A commotion erupted in the Monster Mountains, and countless powerful cultivators, coveting the rare treasure, rushed over, fearing they would be too slow and miss the opportunity to witness the treasure!

Such a heaven and earth anomaly, in addition to having a great attraction for magical beasts,

also had a great attraction for some experienced powerful cultivators!

In the depths of the Monster Mountains, Xiao Yan, who had been practicing for two and a half days, was standing on a wooden stake, dodging the huge logs that constantly crashed down from the waterfall above.

Just as he was about to dodge a giant log that brushed past him, suddenly, a burst of colorful light appeared in Xiao Yan’s eyes, and he was directly hit by the log and plunged into the water with a splash.

“So beautiful!”

Gurgling, Xiao Yan surfaced from the water, looking at the colorful anomaly in the sky.

In just a moment, his eyes showed a scene of dusk and dark clouds pressing down on the city. Countless beast roars came from his ears, and the violently rippling water surface, witnessing a scene like the end of the world, Xiao Yan hurriedly jumped from the wooden stake to the ground, his face full of panic.

“Earthquake…!”

Exclaiming, Xiao Yan frantically ran towards an open area.

“Disciple, what are you running for?”

A light, ethereal figure floated behind Xiao Yan, closely following him, his eyes seemingly carrying a hint of confusion.

After running a distance, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped, as if realizing that this was no longer the original world. A trace of panic receded from his face, and he looked at Yao Lao awkwardly.

“Teacher, are these beasts crazy?”

“What was that just now?”

Thinking of his previous lapse, Xiao Yan angrily retorted, feeling indignant.

“Disciple, it’s normal for you to have never seen the world, always cooped up in Wutan City.”

“Beyond the Gama Empire, there is an endless expanse, containing many treasures.”

“Whenever a rare treasure appears, a heaven and earth anomaly will be born.”

Yao Lao looked up into the distance and slowly said, appearing profound and mysterious!

“Rare treasure?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan licked his lips, a fiery glint flashing in his eyes, looking eager to try.

From Yao Lao’s words, he also realized that a rare treasure was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Looking around, Xiao Yan gazed at the colorful “treasure mountain” several miles away, his face full of excitement!

Compared to the magical beasts in the high sky in the distance, his distance was surprisingly close.

And with the mysterious Yao Lao by his side, he suddenly felt a surge of courage, wanting to go and get some benefits!

“I didn’t expect there to be such a rare treasure in the Monster Mountains!”

“Let’s hurry over, it might be a great opportunity for you!”

Looking at the colorful light, Yao Chen’s eyes also showed a hint of excitement. Without much unnecessary talk, he urged Xiao Yan.

Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure!

To the capable goes the prize!

Perhaps if he went this time, his soul power would have a chance to fully recover!

After a moment, when the two arrived at the source of the colorful light.

Xiao Yan looked up, gazing at the nine-colored building that resembled a mountain, his heart greatly alarmed.

When he clearly saw that the entire building was actually a towering palace, the shock in his heart was immeasurable!

“Gulp!”

Xiao Yan swallowed with difficulty, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at the grand hall, and asked in a low voice: “Teacher, how can there be a palace here out of thin air?”

“Uh…” Hearing this, Yao Lao released his soul power to investigate, pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yan and said: “On the Dou Qi Continent, countless astonishing and peerless individuals have appeared. This must be left behind by some fallen peerless powerful cultivator!”

A supreme treasure capable of triggering a heaven and earth anomaly!

A nine-colored palace appearing out of thin air!

And protected by an array.

Every point confirmed his guess.

At least, it would be a Dou Saint powerful cultivator!

Only at that level could one independently open up space and hide such a magnificent and imposing palace.

“Peerless powerful cultivator?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan murmured, then cautiously looked around, and excitedly looked at Yao Lao: “Teacher, there aren’t any too strong magical beasts appearing yet, let’s go and see quickly!”

“Hmm!”

Yao Lao nodded. His soul power had probed, and currently only three or four magical beasts were lurking around, all of which had been deterred by his soul power and retreated.

So, they could temporarily go and investigate with peace of mind.

… … … …

Lu Chuan, inside the Lingxiao Palace, naturally wouldn’t know about the earth-shattering commotion outside the Monster Mountains.

At this moment, he also had no mind to care about what was happening outside, his eyes fixed on the entire blooming process of the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus.

Suddenly, the slowly unfolding flower bud, its last colorful petal fully opened.

Nine petals, each carrying a different color.

When it was fully bloomed, it was eight feet wide, and the colorful light it emitted also disappeared at this moment!

“Is that all?”

“What about the heaven and earth energy within a hundred li radius that was promised?”

Looking at the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus in his hand, which showed no fluctuations, Lu Chuan was puzzled, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

This Nine-Colored Divine Lotus, besides being beautiful,

was simply useless!

Could it be that the Lingxiao Palace was so vast that the heaven and earth energy within a hundred li was negligible?

Looking at the misty celestial pond in the distance, Lu Chuan’s mind moved. He landed on the pavilion in the pond, waved his hand, threw the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus into it, and then stepped out.

… … … …

The next moment, as the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus fully opened, its surface emitting a faint, colorful glow, the heaven and earth energy within a hundred li radius outside the Monster Mountains suddenly surged violently, swarming towards the Lingxiao Palace like ten thousand subjects paying homage.

“Woo…”

Almost instantly, the violent heaven and earth energy, from far to near, stirred up a violent and chaotic energy hurricane.

The entire heaven and earth energy within a hundred li radius was directly stripped away, forming a nearly vacuum low-pressure zone.

How terrifying and tyrannical was the heaven and earth energy contained within a hundred li!

“Boom…”

Near the Lingxiao Palace, ancient trees dozens of feet high fell one after another. Countless magical beasts, still in shock and not yet recovered, were swept up by this hurricane and flew into the sky!

Above the sky, the afterglow of the sunset.

was also fiercely torn apart and scattered by this heaven and earth energy hurricane!

Where the wailing hurricane swept through, a helpless black shadow was seen crashing towards the palace. Just as the black shadow was about to hit, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, stopped in mid-air, and cried out loudly!

“Teacher, save me…!”

“Thud!”

Finally, the hurricane dissipated, and the Monster Mountains returned to relative calm. The black shadow fell heavily from a height of several meters.

… … … …

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Lu Chuan, with a solemn expression, slowly walked to the front of the white jade hall, a thought in his mind, then stepped into the void and walked out.

Looking at the outside world, which was nearing nightfall, Lu Chuan, using a trace of residual light from the sky, saw the familiar black shadow in front of the hall, paused slightly, and then a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

“Why are you kneeling in front of the hall?”

What met Lu Chuan’s eyes was none other than Xiao Yan, whom he had disdained to bother with that night!

And not far away, a phantom soul body, like a light mist, floated in the air.

It was Yao Chen’s original soul, whom he had failed to meet a few days ago!
