The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting that Zhao Hongyu used was undoubtedly a top-tier dharma treasure. It broke through the void and broke through the ordinary clouds in the blink of an eye.
Nine Heaven was divided into Zhong Heaven, Xian Heaven, Cong Heaven, Geng Heaven, Qiang Heaven, Open Heaven, Xian Heaven, Shen Heaven, and Cheng Heaven. Fifth Heaven was Qiang Heaven, the first level outside of the mortal world.
Beyond Ninth Heaven was the real Heavenly Realm. Therefore, Fifth Heaven to Eighth Heaven was the buffer between the mortal world and the Heavenly Realm.
The Dragon Tribe was active below Fifth Heaven, and they wouldn't go beyond Fifth Heaven unless the Nine Dragon Palace was opened. According to Zhao Hongyu's explanation, the wood-elemental, fire-elemental, and earth-elemental dragons could only fly on Seventh Heaven, but the metal-elemental dragons could reach Eighth Heaven.
The last time Zhao Guang took Hao Ren to the sky to observe the rain, it seemed to be very high, but it was only Level Two of the mortal world!
The plane's altitude was just above the ordinary clouds, which was the range of First Heaven!
Thinking about it, Hao Ren knew how high Fifth Heaven was!
Even with the speed of the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, which Zhao Hongyu rarely used, it took her half an hour to reach Fifth Heaven!
Boom!
The colorful lights of the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting broke through a layer of pale blue array formation and reached a thick layer of auspicious clouds!
Fifth Heaven!
Standing on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, Hao Ren looked around and found that there were endless green mountains!
It was a paradise in the mortal world!
Standing in front of the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, Zhao Hongyu found the right direction and controlled the painting to fly in.
However, this time, it was no longer as fast as before. The Mountain and Mountain Universe Painting's rainbow light also quietly retracted.
The Scroll of Heaven and Earth floated among the mountains. Zhao Hongyu turned slightly and said to Hao Ren, "Besides the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, there are nine smaller palaces in the Nine Dragon Palace. They are Qiu Niu, Ya Zi, Chao Feng, Pulao, Suan An, Baxia, Suan An, Fu Wu, and Chi Wen. They are the branch palaces of our nine ancestors. After you enter the Nine Dragon Palace, you will appear at the four entrances. Our East Ocean Dragon Palace is in the east, so you will appear at the east entrance. "
"Yes." Hao Ren listened attentively, knowing that this trip was not simple since it might affect the development of the East Ocean Dragon Clan in the next few decades.
"This is a map." Zhao Hongyu took out a scroll from an inconspicuous ring on her finger. "Inside the scroll is the route to enter the main hall, as well as the situation of the other nine halls that we've already investigated."
Hao Ren took the map and injected nature essence into it. He opened the scroll and saw that some parts of the map were very detailed while others were very vague.
"This is a map drawn by our East Ocean Dragon Clan for generations. It is very precious, and don't let it fall into the hands of others," Zhao Hongyu warned Hao Ren.
"Got it." Hao Ren put the map into his necklace. Since the map was not food, he didn't need to worry that Little White would eat it.
"The Nine Dragon Palace only opens once every 50 years, and the cultivators who enter must be under 100 years old. If they are too young, it would be a waste of the opportunity. Only those who have cultivated for 50 or 60 years are given the opportunity. That's why no one can enter the dragon palace twice. Zhao Guang and I only went once, and the things we brought back were very ordinary," Zhao Hongyu said with slight regret.
"Mom, I'm very lucky. I'm sure I'll get something good this time!" Zhao Yanzi shouted.
"It's not a game this time. Although there are no traps in the Nine Dragon Palace, it's not absolutely safe." Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Yanzi seriously, and Zhao Yanzi immediately shut up.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Yanzi before turning to Hao Ren. "There is an ancient array formation in the Nine Dragon Palace. Although it has been abandoned for thousands of years, the array formation is still working. The Origin Dragon Grand Palace is in the center of the Nine Dragon Palace, and the nine small palaces are scattered around it. However, their positions are not fixed. Every 50 years, you will find that their positions change. This was because they could only enter once every 50 years, and they could only enter for a short six hours. In addition, the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas did not communicate with each other. Therefore, it was still impossible to deduce the movement pattern of the nine palaces, whether it was according to the changes of the stars or the Eight Trigrams. Which small palace can you enter and what treasures you can get depends on your luck. "
"Which small palace did you and Uncle enter last time?" Hao Ren asked.
"We entered the Fuxi Palace last time, and we got this River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting," Zhao Hongyu answered.
"Only one?" Hao Ren asked immediately.
"No. How many treasures you can get depends on your own abilities. In the Nine Dragon Palace, except for the things in the grand palace, all the other treasures were treasures left behind from the prehistoric times and could be taken away. In the beginning, the four ocean dragon palaces came up with the idea of opening the Nine Dragon Palace once every 50 years because the wealth couldn't be distributed properly. Only two new cultivators will be sent in each time, and what they get will depend on their luck and abilities. "
"It seems like my dad and mom weren't that powerful back then," Zhao Yanzi said as she raised her head.
Zhao Hongyu smiled helplessly. Hao Ren looked at Zhao Hongyu's expression and thought, "No matter how weak they are, they can't be weaker than me and Zhao Yanzi." One had just reached Li-level, and the other didn't even have a Dragon Core …
"Anyway, it's a big harvest if we can get three ancient treasures or elixir pills. It's not bad if we can get two. It's not bad if we get one, but it's better than going back empty-handed, "Zhao Hongyu changed the topic and said with a serious expression.
"Ok!" Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren answered at the same time.
While they were talking, the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting had floated to the center of a ring-shaped valley. Hao Ren saw a few people gathered on the grass below, and two of them were Oldman Zeng and Zeng Yitao.
Zhao Hongyu controlled the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting to descend slowly.
"Mrs. Zhao!" The team leaders of South Ocean and North Ocean came over to greet Zhao Hongyu.
"Elder Xu, Elder Hu, how have you been?" Zhao Hongyu responded with a smile.
There weren't many people participating in the trial. Each dragon palace only had two people and one team leader. Therefore, there were only 12 people in this gathering place. Zeng Yitao's partner was a boy who looked two years younger than Zeng Yitao. It seemed like he was Zeng Yitao's servant or training partner.
On the side of South Ocean, there was a boy and a girl who looked to be around 23 or 24 years old. They looked like a couple, and on the side of North Ocean, there was a boy who was around 20 years old and a girl who was around 18 years old. It seemed like they were siblings.
"Mrs. Zhao, you came so late. I thought you guys didn't dare to come!" Oldman Zeng squinted at Zhao Hongyu and said in a neutral tone.
"Hehe, since your West Ocean is eager to open the Nine Dragon Palace, how can we, East Ocean, not come with you?" Zhao Hongyu replied lightly.
"The purpose of opening the Nine Dragon Palace is for the new talents of the four ocean dragon palaces to participate in the trial. However, it seems like you guys don't have any talents." Oldman Zeng looked at Hao Ren and then at Zhao Yanzi before throwing out another sentence in a mocking tone.
Zhao Hongyu resisted the urge to argue with him. She looked elsewhere and pretended not to hear his sarcasm.
Oldman Zeng was the most senior and had the highest cultivation strength here. Since Zhao Hongyu ignored him, he didn't continue to argue. Instead, he snorted to show his disdain.
Among the eight people participating in the trial, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi from East Ocean were on Li-level and had no cultivation strength.
The boy and girl from South Ocean were the new talents who had risen in the past 50 years. Both of them had reached top-tier Gen-level, so South Ocean had arranged for them to dual cultivate. This time, West Ocean requested to open the Nine Dragon Palace, and South Ocean responded enthusiastically, hoping that the two new talents could take this opportunity to break through.
The brother and sister from North Ocean were the eldest son and second daughter of the Crown Prince of North Ocean. They were most likely going to inherit North Ocean's business in the future. Now that they had both reached Zhen-level, it was an important juncture for them to break through to Gen-level.
Zeng Yitao from West Ocean had reached Zhen-level half a year ago, and the servant was just a helper. Once they entered the Nine Dragon Palace, all the benefits would belong to Zeng Yitao.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were indeed the weakest among the eight. None of the previous trial takers who entered the Nine Dragon Palace were as weak as them; they were at least on Zhen-level. That was why Zhao Hongyu pretended not to hear Oldman Zeng's sarcasm.
This time, the opening of the Nine Dragon Palace was only 30 years away from the last opening. Therefore, the four ocean dragon palaces had to send out relatively young cultivators. After 20 years, the Nine Dragon Palace would officially open again. Plus, there would be another opening in 50 years, which meant that cultivators under the age of 20 would have three chances to enter the Nine Dragon Palace. Therefore, it was worth it for the four ocean dragon palaces to send young cultivators to give it a try.
"Hehe, it's almost time. The Nine Dragon Palace is about to appear." Sensing the tension in the air, Elder Xu and Elder Hu looked up at the sky and tried to smooth things over.
This time, South Ocean and North Ocean were persuaded by West Ocean to agree to open the Nine Dragon Palace. West Ocean's excuse was to celebrate East Ocean's Zhao Kuo's success in passing the Heavenly Tribulation. East Ocean had no choice but to agree.
In fact, at this stage, East Ocean was at its weakest. There were no powerful cultivators in the younger generation. Zi didn't even have a Dragon Core since she didn't cultivate hard enough. Hao Ren had just started cultivating, and the other inner disciples of the East Ocean Dragon Palace were all mediocre. East Ocean would suffer the most if they opened the Nine Dragon Palace at this time.
Boom!
Just as Elder Hu and Elder Xu were looking up, a huge palace that was larger than the entire mountain range appeared high up in the sky!
The powerful pressure caused everyone to have the urge to bow down in worship!
With a light yell, Oldman Zeng opened a huge umbrella and temporarily blocked the overwhelming pressure.
The palace was grey and didn't seem special. However, the array formation that was emitting black lightning bolts told people that they couldn't get close to this palace!
With such an area, it was almost like a city in the sky!
A small white array formation descended from the sky. Red, yellow, green, and blue. Four circles appeared in the four directions of the array formation.
"Zi, Ren, stand in the dark red circle on the east side," Zhao Hongyu ordered.
It was Zhao Yanzi's first time seeing the Nine Dragon Palace, and she was stunned. Hao Ren pulled her to the red circle.
"Little Ah Zi, you're mine." Standing in the green circle opposite them, Zeng Yitao stared at Hao Ren and said to Zhao Yanzi.
Boom!
