"Try opening the lock?" The black dog was itching to open the door, but he was too afraid to do so. If something extremely powerful were released, he would definitely be unable to handle it. He looked at Li Ming with pleading eyes, hoping that he would be the one to open the door. If there were any problems, he would take the blame; if there were no problems, he would split the good stuff three-seven.

Li Ming was unaware of his ulterior motives, but even if he had, he would have wanted to open the palace and see what was inside.

The room was locked, and there were shouting sounds coming from inside. What did this mean? It meant that Li Ming possessed something extremely powerful. Li Ming felt that he should go in and explore; perhaps he would gain something unexpected.

A wisp of divine power surged out, wrapped around the lock, and quickly seeped into it. With a click, the lock slowly opened, fell to the ground, and roars echoed out.

A strong, cold wind rushed towards me, hitting my face directly and chilling me to the bone.

The wind carried the stench of demonic beasts, and Green Ivy almost vomited. What was this stuff? The stench was somewhat like that of a dead rat; it was extremely disgusting and painful to smell.

Holding my knees, I almost threw up. It was really disgusting, and my face turned ashen.

"Roar, roar, roar..." Strange cries echoed, like the mooing of a cow or the roar of a dragon. Very strange sounds emanated from within, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The palace shook, and cracks appeared in the ground. However, the cracks were quickly repaired. It seemed as if the palace was repairing, cracking, repairing, and cracking again, repeating this cycle repeatedly, proving that the palace could not collapse.

Li Ming held his breath and entered the palace. Suddenly, the environment became invisible. The ground was covered with moss, and the eerie atmosphere was addictive. The ground and everything else were slowly emerging before his eyes.

The mottled walls and burnt fragments give it a sense of age, like a magnificent historical relic from millions of years ago.

Li Ming looked around. There were walls and ivy hanging down, and wisps of eerie darkness descended into the space, trying to devour everything. It was hard to imagine what was in there. In the deep darkness ahead, wisps of remnant souls appeared. The roaring sounds just now were the shouts, howls, and cries of these remnant souls.

When they saw something different from themselves appear, their faces contorted in rage, their minds shifted, their focus sharpened, and they lunged at Li Ming with bared teeth and claws.

"These are all remnant souls who died countless millennia ago, and I don't know why they're locked up here. Since we've encountered you, I'll send you on your way."

Li Minghui's Buddhist scriptures, the sound of the wooden fish and chanting, emanated from the place, thus purifying it directly.

The wisps of remnant souls entwined with black mist slowly transformed into golden rays of light, dissipating into the world. The dark, deep, and terrifying palace was restored to its former glory.

When all the strange phenomena were complete, Li Ming saw a page of gold paper on the ground. The gold paper was just placed on the ground, appearing particularly deep and mysterious.

"Mine." The black dog's eyes gleamed as he saw the glittering gold paper. He pounced on it like a hungry dog, moving with lightning speed, but he was still a little slower than Li Ming.

Li Ming bent down and picked it up.

The black dog missed its target, barked on the ground, looked up at Li Ming, and said, "Let me see it?"

Li Ming shook his head.

"We agreed on a 30/70 split. This piece of gold paper is mine, and everything else in this palace is yours. I don't want any of it, just give me this piece of gold paper." The black dog wagged its tail and looked at Li Ming with a pleading expression.

"No way."

"I challenge you to a duel." The black dog bared its white teeth, its eyes glowing green, and its two front paws scratching at the ground.

"Oh." Li Ming only uttered an "oh," without saying anything else. This single word was enough to express his speechlessness and disdain for the black dog.

Black Dog was helpless. He wanted to get rid of Li Ming, but he couldn't beat him, so he could only worry helplessly.

Li Ming couldn't bear to look, so he began to scan the restriction with his divine sense. When his divine sense touched the restriction, suddenly, the golden paper turned into a golden light and disappeared into his chaotic sea.

In the Chaos Sea, there was already a nine-colored tree floating inside, and now a page of gold paper has been added to it.

"What is this thing? Why is there no writing on it?"

Although he gained nothing, Li Ming felt that the gold paper was not simple, as if it contained the rhythm of the Dao, but upon closer inspection, he found nothing.

That's strange.

He examined it carefully, inside and out, but still couldn't find anything special about the gold paper. The more he couldn't find it, the more he wanted to search.

"What are you doing?" Black Dog looked at Li Ming and noticed that his expression was strange, as if he was constipated.

"Let's go, let's leave this place." Li Ming didn't want to think about the gold paper for the time being. He would study it in detail when he had time, and perhaps he would gain something else then. For now, he would just leave it in his Chaos Sea. Anyway, he wouldn't lose out.

He stepped outside, and wisps of colorless flames floated from his hands. The colorless flames erupted, turning the room into ashes.

They continued walking into the other rooms, wandering around for several hours, but found nothing. It seemed that this palace was nothing special. In the end, they returned the way they came and left.

As soon as they left, the palace gradually disappeared from their sight, like a living, moving castle, only they wanted to change places after staying there for too long.

"I was careless. There must be some good stuff inside. I should have moved the palace away." The black dog was very regretful. Even if it couldn't be moved, it should have dismantled a few pieces. Maybe it would have been lucky and yielded some unexpected gains. "I was really careless. Sigh, woof woof woof... How could I have been so careless?"
