"Awoo~!" Coal Ball also echoed softly, obviously very happy.
At this time, the Great Beast Lord raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Han Xing, why did we just give up the treasure of the last palace?"
"With your strength and our cooperation, even if these people join forces, they might still be able to take it, right?"
Hearing this, the others also turned their heads with curious looks in their eyes.
Obviously, they also want to know why Han Xing made this decision at that time.
Han Xing smiled and shook his head, "Because it's not necessary."
"Is it not necessary?" The Beast Lord repeated doubtfully.
"Yes."
Han Xing nodded: "We have successfully captured six of the seven shrines without spending a single soldier. The profit is almost enough."
"Based on this situation, when the Tianchi Secret Realm was opened in previous years, these seven divine palaces would become battlefields for these divine masters to fight."
“Any Divine Lord who wants to obtain the treasure inside will probably have to go through a series of fierce battles before they can snatch the treasure from the other Divine Lords.”
After a pause, Han Xing continued, "When I came out of the sixth palace, I could feel that those gods were on the verge of exploding."
"Although the combat prowess I displayed earlier and my status as an Eternal Disciple temporarily intimidated them."
"But if we still want to seize the last palace, these gods will definitely fight us to the death and engage in an all-out fight."
"Even if we win in the end, we'll probably suffer considerable damage, and there might even be casualties..."
"So... we've taken six first because of our speed advantage, so we can call it a day."
After listening to his explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.
As mentioned before, no one can enter the [Tianchi Secret Realm] without strength.
What's more, they are the gods who have crossed the Tianshan Mountains and the natural barriers and gone through numerous crises.
Their fighting power is definitely quite strong!
Although they have confidence in Han Xing, there is not even a mid-level god-level combat force among their team members.
If a real fight breaks out, the situation will most likely be as the Korean star said.
Even if they win in the end, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
Maybe some more people will die.
Therefore, instead of fighting to the point of mutual destruction, it is better to quit while you are ahead.
Preserve your strength and gain greater benefits!
Thinking of this, everyone once again looked at Han Xing with gratitude and admiration.
At the same time, he also secretly swore in his heart that he must become stronger faster and must not hold him back!
At this time, Miao Qing, who was following beside him, said softly, "Sir, are we going directly to [Tianchi] now?"
Han Xing nodded slightly: "Yes, while they are still fighting for the Jianmu Palace, we should maintain our advantage and go directly to the [Heavenly Lake] to get the treasures inside."
"Then leave the secret realm directly!"
Miao Qing pondered for a moment and asked again, "But... I just heard from the Western Region Divine Lords that Tianchi Lake is not open yet, so no one else can enter..."
"Should we go over and wait?"
Han Xing smiled mysteriously, "Wait? Of course not?"
"We have other ways to get in."
Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned.
"Other... methods?" The Beast Lord was puzzled.
Including the other people on the field, Coal Ball also stared at him with wide eyes.
Han Xing continued to shake his head and said, "You should ask Qing He about this. She said there are other ways to get in."
Everyone turned their heads again and looked at Qinghe in the crowd.
At this moment, Qinghe was running at high speed while setting up various shielding barriers.
Then, she slowly said, "Under normal circumstances, we need to wait for the second Heavenly Gate to open before we can enter the Tianchi Secret Realm."
"But... you all know the identities of my sister and I. We were born in Tianchi."
Dashou and Tugang nodded, looked at Qinghe, and motioned her to continue.
Qing He gathered her words and said softly, "When my sister and I lived in Tianchi, we often released our spiritual consciousness to explore the entire area."
"By chance, we discovered a special hidden passage at the bottom of the pool."
"Through that passage, we discovered that it actually leads directly to a well in this palace complex."
Hearing this, everyone's pupils dilated slightly, and an incredible look appeared in their eyes.
Everyone also understood Qinghe's meaning.
This means that there is a hidden well in this palace complex that can directly lead to the Tianchi Lake!
Thinking of this, their breathing became a little rapid!
Because everyone knows what this means!
This means that, just like this time, they will lead the gods of the Western Regions into the Land of Opportunities and seize all the opportunities there!
And when the gods from the Western Regions enter and see the empty secret realm, they will probably be completely dumbfounded.
For a moment, everyone's shoulders trembled slightly, and their pace couldn't help but quicken a bit.
Obviously, they are already getting impatient!
However... the group suppressed their excitement and continued to move forward silently.
Not only that, when they passed through several palace groups later, Han Xing also removed the effect of [Flowing Light Without Trace] and concealed the breath of everyone.
Then, they deliberately circled the palace complex several times and took various covert measures.
Finally, after going around a big circle, we arrived at the other end of the palace complex.
At this moment, they were standing in front of an ancient palace.
Everyone looked up and couldn't help but look at the exterior of the palace.
Compared with the seven palaces encountered before, this one looks quite plain and unpretentious, and there are no treasures inside.
It looks like an ordinary building in this area.
The Great Beast Lord transmitted his voice through his spiritual consciousness and asked cautiously, "Is this... where the well is hidden?"
Qing He nodded slightly: "That's right."
"Please follow me."
After she finished speaking, she was the first to step into the palace entrance.
Everyone followed Qinghe into this ancient palace. The light inside was very dim.
Immediately afterwards, with a light tap of Qinghe's finger, a drop of dew was released.
“Pah—!”
As the crisp sound of dripping water rang out, some strange patterns appeared on the ancient ground of the palace.
It turned out to be a dried-up water mark, winding its way into the depths of the palace.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
This method of discovery is indeed quite covert.
"Come with me."
Qinghe walked along the water mark, making many turns along the way.
During this period, the water marks disappeared many times, and Qinghe released dewdrops again, making the water marks reappear.
In this way, they moved forward and soon stopped in front of a stone wall at the deepest part of the palace.
She formed seals with her hands and cast a special spell. The moss on the stone wall suddenly began to wriggle, gradually revealing the outline of an ancient well entangled by vines.
"This is it."
Qinghe pushed aside the vines, revealing the clear water inside the well.
Everyone looked at this scene and marveled at its magic and secrecy.
If it were an ordinary person, even a mid-level God Lord passing by here, it would be impossible for him to discover the existence of this ancient well unless he deliberately looked for it.
At this time, Han Xing noticed something strange.
There are some ancient runes engraved on the edge of this ancient well, glowing faintly in the darkness.
"What are these..." Han Xing asked doubtfully.
"A text from an ancient era."
Yao Lian suddenly spoke, her voice as cold as ever: "It probably means 'This is the path back to the source, ordinary people are prohibited from entering.'"
"The path back to the source..." Han Xing repeated softly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Coal Ball curiously stretched out its claws and touched the edge of the well, then quickly retracted its claws.
Ripples appeared at the mouth of the well, spreading out like the surface of water!
"Is this... time-space folding?" Han Xing asked doubtfully.
Qing He nodded. "My sister and I were also shocked when we found it. This well may look ordinary, but it is actually a space-time channel connecting to Tianchi."
She looked at Han Xing and asked, "Do you want to go down now?"
Han Xing nodded and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Everyone looked at each other, and Han Xing was the first to jump into the well.
“Wow…”
The imagined sound of falling into the water did not occur.
The surface of the well water shattered like a mirror, and Han Xing's figure was instantly swallowed up by a ball of dark blue light.
When the others saw Han Xing had already jumped in, they immediately followed suit and disappeared one after another in the rippling waves.
When the last person, the Beast Lord, sank into the well water, the ripples on the surface of the ancient well gradually subsided.
The vines coiled up again, covering the well mouth once again.
This hidden area also returned to silence...
After about ten seconds, a strange sound suddenly came from the dark area.
"hiss……"
Then, a slender black shadow slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner of the temple.
It was a pitch-black demonic python with strange purple patterns on its scales.
It raised its upper body, and as its scarlet snake tongue flickered, it uttered a whisper like a human voice: "Haha... You want to get rid of me and enter Tianchi alone?"
"dream!"
The demonic python narrowed its pupils and laughed sinisterly: "My two little sweethearts, you are destined to be devoured by me..."
"Don't think that just because that little guy dodged my two attacks, you can avoid being devoured by me..."
"Don't forget, Tianchi is my home ground."
“Hehehe…”
The body of the magic python strangely stretched and became thinner, like a black line drilling into the wellhead that had not yet completely closed.
…
…
At the same time, Han Xing and others who entered the ancient well were floating in a strange space.
Surrounded by flowing liquid starlight, countless crystal bubbles wrapped around the shattered palace phantom.
Long Yu touched a bubble curiously, and there was a soft "pop" sound, and the chanting of ancient sacrifices came from inside.
"Don't touch it."
Qing He warned, "These are all fragments of Tianchi's memories."
After hearing this, Long Yu withdrew his hand in disappointment.
Next, everyone continued to move forward.
As we go deeper, the scene in the passage becomes more and more bizarre.
Countless fragments of memory circulated around everyone:
In a certain bubble, a goddess wearing a crown of stars is dancing by the Tianchi Lake, and the water condenses into dazzling ice crystals with her movements.
In another fragment, a giant wrapped in chains struggled to sink to the bottom of the pool, and a creepy corrosion sound came from the bubbles;
In a certain blood-red bubble, a demonic python, obscuring the sky and the sun, was reflected, devouring the world...
These scenes made everyone on the scene feel a little bit novel.
"Did all this really happen?" The Beast Lord couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qing He nodded solemnly, "The Tianchi Secret Realm has existed for an extremely long time. To this day, no lord knows what happened to Tianchi in the past."
“Even my sister and I were born by chance after the Tianchi Secret Realm fell silent.”
"but……"
She raised her head, looked at the bubbles, and said solemnly, "This Tianchi Secret Realm probably once had an extremely glorious history."
"Even in the Lord's Continent, it plays a very important role."
When she finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
Because based on their previous experience, Qinghe's inference is likely to be true.
This secret realm of Tianchi once had extremely powerful strength.
You can see it from the palace complexes.
Any palace here has a great background.
Even the guardians inside have combat power of at least mid-level god lord level.
And how powerful must one be to be able to live in such a palace?
I'm afraid... he must at least have combat power above the high-level God Lord level, right?
And they encountered at least hundreds of palaces like this along the way!
According to this calculation, during the heyday of this Tianchi Secret Realm, there were probably at least hundreds of high-level gods!
There are even more palaces in the Tianmen area outside.
So...how powerful was the owner of the Tianchi Secret Realm in the past?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and felt more and more how deep the water in this secret realm was!
At this time, Han Xing's voice interrupted everyone's speculation.
"Be careful, there are special circumstances."
After hearing this, everyone looked forward.
The passage ahead seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly began to tremble violently.
"Boom..."
The liquid starlight in front began to spin wildly, forming a huge vortex.
Everyone's expressions became serious.
Before they could react, a huge suction force came from the vortex!
“Wow!”
The world was spinning as if the whole world was being torn apart.
The images in the bubbles, the flowing starlight, and even the faces of the companions around were all pulled into thin strips.
This terrifying feeling of weightlessness and spinning lasted for about three seconds.
When their vision returned, they all fell heavily onto the soft ground.
“Hmm…”
The girls in the team cried out in pain.
But they were powerful God Lords after all, and they reacted in an instant and quickly took a fighting stance!
Han Xing also stood up from where he was and tightened his grip on the bow.
And when they looked around, they finally saw the scene in front of them clearly.
The place where they landed was not a piece of grass, but a huge lotus leaf!
How big is this lotus leaf?
According to rough calculations, it is at least more than 4,000 kilometers!
What is the concept?
It’s about the size of a moon!
What’s even more exaggerated is that there are many huge lotus leaves like this ahead.
Looking around, the entire Tianchi Lake is vast and boundless, with tens of thousands of giant lotus leaves floating on the water.
