After absorbing all the marrow pearls, Hu Le felt his mana become incredibly abundant. He then summoned the Xuanhuang Ruyi again, and a Xuanhuang aura rose around him, isolating his own aura as he flew towards the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
After flying for a while and casually dealing with some monsters along the way, a familiar strategic location soon appeared ahead.
Hu Le briefly recalled the information on the map and instantly realized that he had finally found the right place.
The area is surrounded by mountains, all lush and green, with black smoke swirling in the air and clouds and mist shrouding the landscape.
The celestial palace marked on the map should be located among those mountains.
However, before coming here, Zhuo Yifan had said that there seemed to be a great terror hidden in the mountains.
Back then, the master and disciple accidentally came to the outside of the mountains while searching for spiritual herbs. They were about to go in and search, but as soon as they reached the outer edge of the mountains, Guiyunzi dared not go any further.
Zhuo Yifan also inquired about the reason.
Gui Yunzi told him that he had just had a sudden thought, and he felt that there was a great terror hidden in the mountains. He felt that if he dared to step into them, he would surely die...
Hu Le arrived outside the mountain, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. It was as if an ancient, ferocious beast was indeed lurking within, and that if he entered, it would suddenly erupt and tear him to shreds…
However, even though it contains endless dangers, he still has to go in for the sake of his divine power to transform all things.
Since it concerns the supreme Primordial Dao Fruit, can't we take a risk?
Hu Le brushed the Xuanhuang Ruyi on his body twice, and the Xuanhuang aura surrounding him became even stronger.
Enveloped in a stream of dark yellow energy, he drifted into the mountains, his figure quickly swallowed up by the wisps of black mist.
In the mountains, the grass and trees are silent, and all sounds are still.
He flew forward for a while, and on the way he did not encounter any monsters, nor did he see any ordinary snakes, insects, or rodents.
It was as if this place had become a forbidden zone for all spirits.
However, this calm is too eerie. Just like the seemingly calm surface of water, who can know what kind of turbulent undercurrents are hidden beneath...
He did not let his guard down and made his way to the center of the mountains.
The area surrounded by mountains and forests was a void, with endless darkness dominating the heavens and earth.
He raised his head and looked towards that void. A majestic celestial palace was silently suspended above that void, radiating a hazy and tranquil celestial light.
"This should be the place!"
Originally suppressed deep within his sea of consciousness, the Great Dao Inscriptions formed from his Transformation of All Things technique continuously emitted light, seemingly resonating with some being within the Celestial Palace…
He released his divine sense and circled it in his sea of consciousness, suppressing those Great Dao Inscriptions deep within his sea of consciousness once more. Then, he leaped into that void and flew towards the celestial palace above.
The void appeared to be no more than a hundred miles in circumference, but upon entering, he discovered that its space seemed infinite.
Although he did not deliberately increase his flying speed to the limit, his speed was still rare in the world, and few cultivators in this world could catch up with him.
Even so, he flew through the void for nearly a day and a night before finally arriving at the celestial palace.
He approached and circled the celestial palace, discovering that it seemed to have suffered some kind of impact, with many of its majestic halls damaged or even completely collapsed.
From afar, it appeared majestic and magnificent, surrounded by celestial light and soaring rosy clouds. But up close, it is nothing more than a pile of ruins...
Hu Le watched for a while before finally stepping onto the white jade square in front of the fairy palace.
He stepped on the jade bricks and soon arrived at the foot of a tall, straight, and lush fairy tree.
This tree is several tens of feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and a kind of innate spiritual energy flows among its branches.
The trees were covered with dense, multicolored blossoms, each about the size of a bowl, their stamens emitting a delicate fragrance that permeated for hundreds of miles…
In front of the immortal tree stood two dark-colored wooden doors.
The plaque above is inscribed with the four large characters "Yuhua Fairy Palace," shimmering with radiant light.
Hu Le arrived at the palace gate, stretched out his hands and gently pushed it open. The gate opened silently, and he stepped over the threshold and entered the celestial palace.
Upon entering the celestial palace, everything around was quiet. Hu Le was the first to feel a strange loneliness. The rosy glow made the celestial palace appear even more desolate.
Walking through the celestial palace, one can see collapsed pavilions and towers everywhere along the way.
He wandered around the celestial palace and finally found the central location.
This is a grand hall, inside which stands a jade stele, surrounded by celestial light, with purple and gold restrictive runes flashing continuously.
Next, once he refines this jade tablet, he will have complete control over this celestial palace, and all its secrets will be revealed to him, which will greatly benefit his search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book.
However, upon arriving at the palace gate, Hu Le gazed at the jade tablet with a thoughtful expression on his face, and did not immediately enter the palace.
He sensed a faint threat emanating from within the hall.
It seems that as long as he steps into it, he will inevitably encounter some danger.
He stood in front of the palace gate for a while, took one last look at the jade tablet, and then turned around without hesitation.
Clearly, he no longer intends to completely refine and control this celestial palace.
As for the location of the lower volume of the Heavenly Book, he decided to first find the treasure vault in the Immortal Palace and take a look inside.
However, just as he turned around, a man's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"You're quite alert, kid! But unfortunately, no matter how careful you are, you're still going to suffer this fate."
Hu Le turned around and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a golden crown walk out of the jade tablet.
This man was tall and imposing, wearing a long purple robe, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance.
Hu Le's gaze swept over the Taoist priest, and he noticed that the man had a powerful aura, but there was an underlying feeling that he was rather weak and unreliable.
Although his cultivation level was insufficient, his perception was still intact, and he immediately guessed the person's current state.
So he retorted without backing down, "And who are you? You look like nothing more than a wandering ghost, yet you speak with such arrogance."
It turned out that he had already seen through it. Although the Taoist's figure was very solid and looked no different from a real person, it was actually an illusion.
This being no longer has a physical body; what appears here is merely a wisp of a remnant soul.
Previously, it had only survived within the jade tablet, relying on the vital energy within the Immortal Palace to eke out a living until today.
In reality, this remnant soul could not stray too far from the jade tablet. Once it lost the support of the primordial energy within the Immortal Palace, this remnant soul could not survive for long.
Perhaps, this person won't even be able to leave the Celestial Palace...
