Fu Yunchen extended his hand, "Then please don't leave me for the next few days, okay?"
Feng Que placed her hand in his and sweetly replied, "Okay!"
...
Beneath the lotus pond lay the palace exit. But after leaving that palace, they fell into another place.
The situation here is not as good as the previous one.
It appeared to be a dungeon, with cages containing various birds and beasts. They all seemed to be dead, and even those that were alive looked weak and barely clinging to life, showing no reaction to their arrival.
Fu Yunchen looked at the beasts.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he walked to the largest cage.
Inside the cage was a gigantic wolf-beast with golden fur, five or six meters long, and nearly two meters tall even when lying down. Its belly was huge, clearly pregnant, and possibly about to give birth. In the corner of the cage, there was a pile of stark white bones, and another wolf-beast that had been half-eaten.
Clearly, this place was originally used to imprison a pack of wolves.
Feng Que looked at the pile of bones, and suddenly... her gaze fixed on a relatively hidden corner of the pile of bones.
There were several human skeletons!
"Brother Yun, look over there!"
Fu Yunchen looked over and saw that one of them was wearing a waist tag. Although he was not from the Qingquan Sect, he was still a disciple of a spiritual cultivation sect.
The mother wolf seemed to be really about to give birth, howling in pain.
Hearing the wolf howls, Feng Que quickly hid behind Fu Yunchen and whispered, "Brother Yun, protect me."
Fu Yunchen looked down at her, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Why wasn't it you protecting me?"
"Huh? A Foundation Establishment stage senior brother, do you need a junior sister who just entered the Qi Refining stage to protect you?"
"..." Fu Yunchen patted her head, "Be good, don't run around behind me."
"Don't worry, Brother Yun, I definitely won't run around," Feng Que replied obediently.
He was quite certain of this; Mu Run was also very pragmatic when it came to matters of safety. Fu Yunchen turned his gaze to the wolf beast in the cage.
There was a barrier outside the cage, and Fu Yunchen's spiritual sense could pass through the barrier and enter the cage. Since spiritual sense could enter, then a person should also be able to enter.
The wolf-like beast's enormous eyes flashed with a fierce light. It stood up, its huge belly protruding, and let out a low growl.
Feng Que huddled behind Fu Yunchen, peeking out curiously, wanting to see the wolf beast.
Fu Yunchen pressed her head back down and used his spiritual sense and wolfish energy to ask, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
A look of surprise flashed in the wolf's eyes. "What are you going to do?"
“You look like you need help. Are you really about to give birth?” Fu Yunchen asked.
A dangerous glint appeared in the wolf's eyes.
Fu Yunchen looked at it and changed the subject, "Where is this?"
"This is... the Fallen Immortal Illusion, a circular cage specifically used to imprison immortal beasts and birds."
"Celestial beasts and birds? You are all of celestial quality?"
"Yes, this is the Celestial Palace."
Why are you being locked up here?
"He wants to use our inner cores to cultivate the Myriad Beasts Immortal Array."
Where did Tu Huan go?
"He's dead. Fallen immortals are not tolerated by the immortal realm, so it's normal for him to die."
"Even though he's dead, you can't leave?"
"The Circular Cage was originally a treasure artifact of the universe, and its restrictions were linked to our destiny. It was maintained by drawing beast energy from our bodies until we died and our energy was exhausted, at which point the restrictions would be lifted."
Fu Yunchen looked at the other dead beasts, but their restrictions were still in place.
