The white mist surrounded them. As long as they moved forward by one meter, the mist would move back by one meter, and the visibility was only half a meter.
If it weren't for the compass, Hao Ren would have thought that he was lost.
While they were lost and didn't know how far they had to go, a huge black stone palace suddenly appeared in front of them.
The base was square, and it was stacked layer by layer. When they looked up to see the top of the tower, they found that the top of the tower had already reached into the white mist!
The Heaven-Reaching Tower!
The huge pagoda, which was made of rough boulders, had a primordial aura assaulting them in the face!
Zhao Yanzi grabbed Hao Ren's arm and approached him. "How much time do we have left?"
"We walked a total of 16389 steps, which is eight kilometers. It took us about one and a half hours," Hao Ren answered her.
"That means we have four and a half hours left." Zhao Yanzi nodded. She remembered that she had held Hao Ren's hand and walked more than 10,000 steps, which was a record.
She slightly let go of his hand, but she was a little scared when she saw the dark godly palace in front of her. Therefore, she held Hao Ren's hand awkwardly.
Hao Ren didn't notice her little movements. He just opened the map and carefully studied it for a while.
The entrance was a bit ahead. After entering the godly palace, there was a route explored by the predecessors. As long as they followed the route, they would be able to enter the core of the grand palace.
"Let's go!" Hao Ren put away the map and dragged Zhao Yanzi into the godly palace.
Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren step by step and entered the black gate on the east side of the godly palace. Then, she followed Hao Ren into the gloomy black tunnel.
Hua!
Hao Ren released a ball of fire from his palm. It was transformed from fire-elemental sword energy, and it was used as a torch in this environment.
The dark tunnel was made of unknown black stones. Even though there were no skeletons or spider webs, Zhao Yanzi was still nervous in the reflection of the fire and the echoes of footsteps.
Hao Ren checked the route at every turn on the map. Even if there were no traps or mechanisms in this temple, as long as he took the wrong path, he could waste a lot of time.
In other words, in this temple, the oppressive feeling from the wasteland outside was instantly gone. In other words, this black stone should be able to isolate the effect of the wasteland's absorption of spiritual power.
"Uncle, I'm a little scared," Zhao Yanzi suddenly said after following Hao Ren for a while.
"I have the map. What's there to be afraid of?" Hao Ren looked at the map as he walked.
The map showed that they were not far from the main hall. After three more turns, he would be able to enter the main hall.
"If we can't get out, we'll be walking around here for the rest of our lives, right?" Zhao Yanzi said.
"Damn, you are a little dragon cultivator. Don't be so cowardly, okay?" Hao Ren thought to himself, and he almost said it out loud.
However, looking at Zhao Yanzi's little face in the fire, Hao Ren knew that she was still a little girl. He could only comfort her softly, "It's okay. If it were dangerous, your mom wouldn't have let you in."
"Um …" Zhao Yanzi answered hesitantly and moved closer to Hao Ren.
They turned left, came to a ramp, and then turned right …
The brightly lit Origin Dragon Grand Palace entered Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi's sight.
The black Origin Dragon Grand Palace that was almost 100 meters tall stood in the main hall, emitting bright black light!
Each of its 18 black claws held 18 weapons, and there was a huge golden bead in its mouth!
This golden bead lit up the entire grand palace as if it were daytime!
Walking around the stone statue, they saw four incense tables in the east, south, west, and north directions of the statue, and three incense candles were lit in each direction!
This also meant that the other three parties had arrived earlier than them! According to the burning time, Zeng Yitao from West Ocean was the first to arrive!
"Let's hurry up and light the incense," Zhao Yanzi urged.
"Um." Hao Ren led Zhao Yanzi back to the incense table on the east side. He took out an incense candle that emitted nature essence and lit it with fire-elemental sword energy. Then, he respectfully inserted it into an ancient-looking incense burner.
There was nothing wrong with this incense candle. It emitted a nice fragrance and gradually burned. In the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, even Zeng Yitao didn't dare to do anything!
Hao Ren held Zhao Yanzi's hand and bowed to the stone statue. Then, he led Zhao Yanzi to the main gate of the grand palace according to the directions on the map.
However, Hao Ren was a little puzzled. From the outside, the top of this godly palace seemed to reach into the depths of the mist, and it was more than 100 meters high. However, the head of the Origin Dragon Stone Statue was almost at the top of the grand hall, which meant that this godly palace should have several levels or even dozens of levels. However, there were no paths leading to the upper levels from the east entrance of the grand hall. In other words, there were no ancient teleportation arrays leading to the upper levels.
However, they didn't have the time to study this conjecture. Besides, Hao Ren, who was at Li-level, and Zhao Yanzi, who had no level, didn't have the strength to explore. Therefore, Hao Ren suppressed his conjecture and walked out of the gate that was emitting a faint white light.
The moment they passed through the white light, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi felt that their vision suddenly became clear!
The gloomy aura disappeared, and it was replaced by mountains, rivers, and grasslands!
However, the mountains were not ordinary mountains, the rivers were not ordinary rivers, and the grasslands were not ordinary grasslands!
All kinds of unknown celestial herbs emitting intense Nature Essence covered the entire grassland! The rivers were filled with surging Nature Essence, and they were all celestial water!
Each of the mountains seemed to be thousands of meters tall, and they couldn't see the top of them!
Prehistoric World! This was the true Primordial World of the beginning of the world!
Different from the legendary Prehistoric World, there were no Spirit Beasts or Demon Beasts. The only thing full of vitality were the celestial herbs that covered the mountains and plains!
Little White probably sensed the Nature Essence from the outside and chirped in Hao Ren's necklace.
Then, Hao Ren remembered that Little White had followed them here in the necklace.
He opened the necklace and let it out.
Little White rolled in the air and turned into its snow lion form before landing steadily.
If cultivators liked to stay in places with intense Nature Essence, then Spirit Beasts liked it even more! The Nature Essence here was hundreds or even thousands of times more intense than in the necklace. Little White circled around Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi and felt extremely comfortable!
After all, the Nature Essence in the Prehistoric World was the main reason why there were so many Spirit Beasts in the world! As a Spirit Beast, Little White was like a fish in water in this environment!
"Roar! Roar! "Little White raised its head and roared proudly!
Hao Ren looked at the green mountains and rivers and put away the map. After walking out of the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, the next step was to find one of the nine branch palaces.
These branch palaces were not in a fixed location, and they were scattered in different corners of the world. They could only find them by pure luck.
Back then, Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang had gone through untold hardships to find the Fuxin Hall, and they could already be considered lucky. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi's physical strength and cultivation strength were not as good as theirs back then. Besides, it had taken them two hours to get out of the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, and it would be difficult for them to find a branch palace on foot.
"Zi, tell me, which direction should we go?" Hao Ren turned to look at Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi wasn't sure. She closed her eyes, spun a few times, and pointed in a direction. Then, she opened her eyes and said, "Ok, let's go here!"
"Ok!" Hao Ren didn't dawdle and pulled her in that direction.
Zhao Yanzi was slightly touched by Hao Ren's trust in her, and she even forgot to reprimand Hao Ren for holding her hand without asking for her permission.
Red flowers and green grasses … Hao Ren felt very extravagant when he thought that he was stepping on rare and precious herbs that were hard to come by in 1,000 years.
They were in a hurry to find a branch palace. If they couldn't find it in the end, they would collect more spiritual herbs to make up for it. Anyway, his necklace was as big as a room. Even if he couldn't grow them, he could still make them into elixir pills and make up for it.
Little White rolled and flipped on the grass, without the restraint and awareness of a Snow Lionet. It was simply a big dog.
They walked to the end of the plain and came to the foot of the nearest mountain. Zhao Yanzi looked tired. This place was controlled by the ancient array formation of the Godly Palace, and they couldn't fly on swords. Therefore, they had to walk.
To find a branch palace, they had to climb to the top of a nearby mountain that wasn't too short. Only then could they have a panoramic view of the surroundings and see the location of the branch palace.
Zhao Yanzi's face turned red when she thought that she had to climb a mountain that was 400 to 500 meters high. She was out of breath.
Roar! Roar!
Little White ran around Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, wagging its tail and looking very happy.
"Damn Little White, you are the most energetic one. I'm exhausted!" Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but hit Little White with her fist.
When her fist hit Little White's soft body, it felt like she was tickling it. The 'damn dog' lay on the ground and exposed its belly as if it wanted Zhao Yanzi to scratch it again.
Zhao Yanzi was angry and anxious. Sure enough, she pounded on its belly.
Suddenly, Hao Ren had an idea. "Zi, you can sit on Little White's back!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yanzi didn't understand.
"With Little White's size, it shouldn't be a problem for me to carry you!" Hao Ren squatted down and patted Little White's face. He didn't want it to act cute and let it get up.
"Little White, can I?" Zhao Yanzi looked at Little White who looked like a giant Samoyed and asked Hao Ren hesitantly.
"This lazy Little White only eats and doesn't do anything. How can I?" Hao Ren walked up and held Little White's neck. Then, he lifted Zhao Yanzi's waist and let her sit on Little White's back.
At first, Little White was reluctant and squatted down. However, Hao Ren patted it on the butt, and it immediately stood up.
Now, he finally understood that Little White was a lazy fellow. If he did not spur it on, it would not be willing to put in effort.
Zhao Yanzi had only ridden a horse in the park before and had never ridden a lion. She was a bit nervous sitting on Little White's back. However, Little White was almost one meter tall, and its size was no smaller than a pony.
"Let's go up the mountain!" Hao Ren grabbed Little White's mane and led it up the mountain as if it were a horse.
With the Dragon Core in his body and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, he wouldn't have a problem with his physical strength as long as the land here didn't absorb nature essence.
"Little White, go!" Zhao Yanzi gradually stabilized herself and really treated Little White like a horse. She broke a tree branch on the side of the road and gently whipped Little White's butt.
Little White's black eyes were full of grievance. "If I had known this earlier, I would have stayed in the necklace and not come out …"
The mountain path was about 500 meters high, and there were no stairs, so it was very laborious to climb it. Time ticked by, and Hao Ren was anxious. However, he couldn't do anything about the speed.
In the prehistoric world, people relied on their own brute force, instinct, or natural power. No one could use the Nature Essence that they cultivated!
The people who lived in the prehistoric world all climbed up the mountain step by step like this, and they would never ride on swords!
Sitting on Little White's broad back, Zhao Yanzi randomly picked fruits from the low trees. Red, green, blue … They were all stuffed into Little White's mouth.
Hao Ren calculated in his mind that it took him almost an hour to get to the top of the mountain! This was the result of him quickening his pace to a jog, and Little White rushing forward under his urging!
There weren't many trees on the top of the mountain. Hao Ren stood on the highest rock and looked into the distance.
In his field of vision, there were still large plains and tall mountains!
Zhao Yanzi rode on Little White and came to Hao Ren's side. She widened her eyes and tried to find the trace of the branch palace.
"Over there! Over there! "Zhao Yanzi suddenly yelled in joy.
Hao Ren followed her gaze and saw a black dot in the middle of a plain far, far away.
"It's too far. We can't get there in time with our speed," Hao Ren said.
Zhao Yanzi was a little disappointed. She opened her eyes and looked carefully in other places.
Compared to this vast world, the nine branch palaces were really too small! Even if they had a wide field of vision, they could only see a small black dot, not to mention that they might be hiding behind a mountain!
Hao Ren circulated his Nature Essence in his eyes, and he could see all the plants within a few hundred meters and the scene within a few thousand meters!
"There is one over there!" Hao Ren pointed to the front on the left and said.
Zhao Yanzi widened her eyes and looked hard, but she couldn't see it clearly. However, Hao Ren could see it clearly. There was a branch palace hidden at the foot of the mountain! Although he could only see a pillar on the edge, he was sure that it was a branch palace!
"Ok, let's go there!" Zhao Yanzi couldn't see it clearly, but she trusted Hao Ren's eyesight and made the decision immediately.
Hao Ren calculated in his mind. This was the closest branch palace in his sight. Although he could see a branch palace that was further away than the one Zhao Yanzi found, time was precious. It would take one hour to get down the mountain and another two hours to get to the branch palace at the foot of the mountain. It was hard to say if they would have enough time to search for treasures in there!
That was why Zhao Hongyu said that it would be a great harvest if they could get three treasures, and it would be great if they could get two. Even if they could get one, it would still be a success!
"Little White, let's go down the mountain!" Hao Ren patted Little White's chubby butt.
Little White howled and carried Zhao Yanzi down the mountain quickly! It dodged left and right, easily bypassing the trees on the mountain!
Hao Ren chased it closely, but he couldn't keep up!
Suddenly, Little White roared and leaped up in front of a big rock that was blocking its way!
Boom!
Little White's paws caught fire in the air!
Instead of falling down, Little White flew into the air with Zhao Yanzi on its back!
