Chapter 270 If forcing your way in doesn't work, then call someone
Chu Xuanyi took out a palm-sized tortoise shell and a few copper coins from his arms and sat down cross-legged.
He placed the tortoise shell in his palm and muttered something.
Time passes by every second.
There was a deathly silence in the thick fog, and the only sound was the sound of waves crashing against the hull.
Everyone held their breath and waited nervously.
Sudden.
"Puff." Chu Xuanyi spat a mouthful of blood onto the tortoise shell, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"Lord Chu." The Dragon Shadow Guard closest to him exclaimed.
"Don't come over here," Chu Xuanyi raised his hand to stop him, "I found it."
He staggered to his feet and pointed in a direction to the left front.
"Your Majesty."
"That's the life gate."
"But it is also the most core and powerful place in the entire fog formation."
"We must rush forward as fast as possible."
"If you hesitate, you will be completely swallowed by the formation, and there will be no possibility of survival."
Xiao Yu looked in the direction he pointed, but it was still white and nothing could be seen.
"captain."
"exist."
"Turn the boat around and aim for the left front."
"Charge towards me as fast as you can."
"But, Your Highness," the captain hesitated, "you can't see anything there. What if we hit a reef..."
"Follow orders."
"yes."
The captain shuddered, dared not say another word, and immediately ran to steer the ship.
"Everyone, hold on tight."
The ship shook violently, and then crashed into the unknown thick fog.
The boat was shaking violently, with the sound of whistling wind and the harsh sound of the hull rubbing against some invisible barrier in my ears.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Look." A surprised cry rang out.
Everyone suddenly opened their eyes.
The thick fog that had enveloped them for days was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When all the fog dissipated, the dazzling sunlight shone again, and a picture that would be unforgettable for everyone appeared before their eyes.
It was an island of unimaginable size.
The island is dotted with fairy peaks, cascading waterfalls, exotic flowers and plants, and countless rare birds and animals playing in the woods.
The entire island is shrouded in a light mist emitting colorful halos, like a fairyland.
"Penglai..." Chu Xuanyi muttered to himself, his eyes full of shock.
"We...we really found it."
There was a burst of warm cheers on the boat.
After nearly a month of difficult sailing and countless life-and-death situations, all the hard work and efforts were worth it the moment I saw this island.
However, there was no joy on Xiao Yu's face, and his brows were furrowed even tighter.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Chu Xuanyi noticed his abnormality. "Aren't we already here?"
"Take a closer look." Xiao Yu pointed to the surroundings of the island.
Chu Xuanyi looked intently, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
There is one last barrier between the Breaking Waves and Penglai Island.
It was a huge water curtain composed of sea water, almost invisible to the naked eye.
The water curtain was slowly rotating, forming an impenetrable natural formation that enveloped the entire island.
Some fish and shrimps swept by the waves were turned into powder the moment they hit the water curtain.
"This is..." Chu Xuanyi took a breath, "An ancient water barrier."
"This is a big trouble." The smile on his face disappeared completely.
"This barrier can crush any foreign objects that come close."
"Our ship can't get close."
"Ancient water barrier?" A Dragon Shadow spy came over with a puzzled look on his face.
"Master Chu, what is that thing? Is it more powerful than the fog just now?"
Chu Xuanyi's face was extremely ugly, and he stared at the water curtain.
"It's more than a hundred times more powerful."
"The fog formation just now was, after all, just a trick. It can be broken as long as we find the escape route."
"But this water barrier before us is a truly protective formation. It draws upon the power of the entire East China Sea, circulating endlessly and repetitively. There is no so-called core or flaw in the formation at all."
After hearing this, the other Dragon Shadow Guard who knew some Qimen Dunjia turned pale instantly.
"You mean, this thing... has no solution?"
"At least there is no human solution."
Chu Xuanyi's answer made the hearts of everyone who had just been immersed in joy sink to the bottom in an instant.
"Are we just going to sit there and watch?" the captain said unwillingly. "We've gone through so much trouble, lost so many men, and finally found this place, but now we can't even reach the island?"
“How can you know if you don’t try?”
A hot-tempered Dragon Shadow Guard suddenly drew the sword from his waist.
"Brothers, follow me."
"I just don't believe it. How can such a bullshit barrier stop hundreds of us?"
As he said this, he jumped onto a small assault boat that had been prepared long ago.
More than a dozen Dragon Shadow Guards also jumped on. They paddled the boat and rushed towards the transparent water curtain with all their might.
"return."
Chu Xuanyi wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The assault boat approached the barrier as quickly as an arrow.
Everyone held their breath and stared intently.
The moment the small boat touched the water curtain, it was as if it was gently wiped away by an invisible giant hand. The dozen or so Dragon Shadow Guards on the boat were silently turned into dust all over the sky, without even a drop of blood left.
The sea breeze blew, as if nothing had happened.
There was a deathly silence on deck.
Everyone was frightened to the point of being frozen cold by this strange and terrifying scene.
The Dragon Shadow Guard who knew some Qimen Dunjia had lost all color from his face, his lips were trembling, and he could hardly hold the knife.
"Now, does anyone else want to try it?" Xiao Yu's cold voice sounded.
No one answered, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
Chu Xuanyi walked dejectedly to Xiao Yu's side, his voice full of powerlessness.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent."
"This formation cannot be broken by human power, unless... unless a true immortal can be summoned."
Xiao Yu didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the fairy island that was so close yet so far away.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke.
"Since human power cannot break it."
"Then find someone inhuman to break it."
Chu Xuanyi was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
"Non-human? Your Highness, what are you referring to? Are they those sea monsters we killed earlier?"
"No."
Xiao Yu shook his head and slowly raised his hand with his palm facing up.
The Dinghai Pearl taken out from the royal secret treasury was lying quietly in his palm.
"Chu Xuanyi, you said before that this pearl belongs to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."
"Yes," Chu Xuanyi nodded, still not following his train of thought. "That's what it says in the notes of Tongtian Pavilion, but isn't Dragon Palace just a legend like Penglai?"
"Legends may not necessarily be false."
Xiao Yu gripped the Dinghai Pearl tightly and poured a powerful amount of true energy into it without reservation.
"Buzz."
The moment the bead received his true energy, it suddenly burst out with a dazzling blue light, sweeping in all directions with the Breaking Waves as the center, and the originally calm sea surface began to surge violently.
"My Lord, what are you doing?"
Chu Xuanyi was so shocked by this sudden change that he stepped back repeatedly.
"If forcing our way in doesn't work, then we'll have to call for help." Xiao Yu sneered, "I want to see if this East China Sea Dragon Palace actually exists."
"If it exists, would its owner please grant me this favor?"
He had just finished speaking.
"Boom." There was a loud noise.
The sea surface right in front of the Wavebreaker suddenly arched upwards, and an extremely huge whirlpool appeared out of nowhere, spinning rapidly.
In the center of the whirlpool, the sea water parted to both sides, and a magnificent palace made of crystal and coral slowly rose from the bottom of the sea.
"Oh My God……"
Everyone on the deck, including the knowledgeable Chu Xuanyi, seemed to be under a spell at this moment. They stared blankly at the miraculous scene before them, forgetting even to breathe.
Dragon Palace.
The legendary Dragon Palace in the East China Sea actually exists.
Moreover, it was "shaken" out by their prince using a bead.
