"Just kidding, just kidding, I was just joking, don't get agitated..."

The deafening roar emanating from the palace complex seemed to vibrate the entire Heavenly Palace's protective barriers. Recalling his earlier encounter in the main hall, Young Master Wang felt a sudden tightness in his chest and abandoned his plan to forcefully break through the barrier.

Seeing that even though he had gotten in to the ruins first, he couldn't reap any benefits, Wang Zheng felt extremely frustrated.

However, our young master Wang is not one to be unable to let go. After sighing helplessly that they were destined to be apart, he decided to find a way to leave.

In order to find a way out of the ruins, Wang Zheng first went to the gate tower and looked into the distance, only to find that everything in sight was gray and hazy, and he could not see clearly at all.

When you reach out to touch it, there is a strong resistance preventing people from entering or leaving.

Seeing that he couldn't get out through the main gate, Wang Zheng tried to summon the Crimson Cloud to break through from the sky.

However, after bumping his head all over, he discovered that there seemed to be some kind of magical restriction here. Even though he was standing on the red clouds, he could not fly much higher than these halls, let alone leave this mysterious space from the air.

Within the entire Heavenly Palace, it was as if there was an inverted bowl, completely sealing off this space. If one wanted to leave, there was no other way but to break through this boundary barrier.

Moreover, within this Heavenly Palace complex, Wang Zheng could only observe his surroundings with the naked eye.

Although his use of mental power was very crude, that was not the main reason. The problem was that his perception range in the ruins seemed to be greatly suppressed. No matter how much he concentrated, he could only move his mental power within a few meters of himself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if a grandmaster with a special talent for mental power were to enter this place, they would probably be weakened by at least half before the battle even begins. However, since mental perception is ineffective here, it makes it easier to take advantage of the chaos in dangerous situations..."

Although it was an unexpected discovery, they still couldn't find a way out. Wang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, cursing inwardly:

"Such a large area is so deathly silent, with layers of barriers and restrictions on leaving. The reputation of this forbidden zone is truly well-deserved. But I'm not some ancient demon, so what's the point of sealing me in here...?"

Although there are no other living beings besides themselves at the moment, no one can say for sure what will happen next.

Wang Zheng still dared not be careless, after all, this ruin was too strange, and who knew what dangers awaited him.

At this moment, Wang Zheng already had some guesses in his mind.

"Perhaps others break through the restrictions at the main gate, pass through the gate tower first, and then enter the main hall."

I got a lucky break by obtaining the Winning Fish Spirit Orb from that seemingly static back door, which allowed me to enter this main hall. However, I'm now trapped in the heart of this ruin because I lack the ability to break the barrier.

This is terrible! If I can't find a way out, and other demon kings break in, my little body will most likely be doomed…

Left with no other choice, Wang Zheng turned around and searched the entire large square thoroughly. Although he couldn't find a way out or a teleportation array, he unexpectedly discovered a hidden circular archway behind the main hall.

Most importantly, it is not blocked by any barrier.

This discovery delighted Wang Zheng, who thought he had found the key to breaking the deadlock. He never expected that this unexpected joy would come so suddenly.

When he, Young Master Wang, didn't want to get involved, he was dragged into it anyway. Now that he wants to leave, he's discovered some incredible benefits.

What lay behind the archway was not a passageway for departure, but rather a desolate medicinal garden, isolated from the world and nurtured for thousands of years.

It's not really abandoned because no one takes care of it, so it looks a bit desolate and messy. But the richness of the spiritual energy and the sheer number of medicinal herbs and spiritual plants are simply jaw-dropping.

Within the nearly one hundred acres of courtyard, countless colorful mists rose and sparkled with spiritual light, then condensed into water droplets in the air, before falling down like rain.

Perhaps because it had been sealed away for millions of years, the various spiritual plants and precious herbs in the herb garden were now growing wildly like weeds, some of them even reaching half a person's height.

Although the gullies on the various ridges can still be vaguely seen, there is no room to step in this medicinal herb field anymore.

What's even more astonishing is that most of those spiritual plants have actually borne fruit!

Countless colorful spiritual fruits emitted a faint fragrance, surrounded by various halos of light, and were adorned with dewdrops formed from condensed spiritual energy, making it clear at a glance that the spiritual energy contained within them was extremely pure.

A refreshing and pleasant aroma of herbs wafted from all directions, so invigorating that one couldn't help but be drawn to them.

In the very center of this medicinal garden, there is a small green hill covered with vegetation, and upon closer inspection, one can vaguely discern the outline of what should be a pavilion.

The closer one gets to the pavilion, the more exaggerated the growth of the nearby spiritual plants becomes. Wang Zheng even saw several spiritual fruits larger than a fist hanging on the vines covering the pavilion, each one crystal clear and seemingly dripping with water.

"I've struck gold! I've finally secured the massive amount of spiritual energy I was lacking. No wonder these demon kings are rushing to get in like madmen. Even if they find nothing in the palace, these spiritual fruits alone are enough to make them risk their lives!"

Upon seeing this extraordinary sight, Young Master Wang was too exhausted to walk any further.
