In the garden, the trees were lush and full of life. The scale was very large, and it was almost no different from the artificial gardens outside.
It was hard to imagine that there would be such a garden in the Underground Palace that had been abandoned for so many years.
"It's amazing!"
Gong Biluo walked into the garden in shock. Looking at the surrounding scenery, she was momentarily stunned.
Just now, they were still in the dark Underground Palace. Now, they were in such a beautiful garden. It was too surreal, like a dream.
There was a small forest, a flowerbed, a rock garden, a lotus bridge, a pavilion, a pond … There was everything. It was like the imperial garden in the palace.
Mo Wen touched the surrounding flowers and plants. His touch was exquisite and real. There was nothing unusual at all. A look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
He suspected that he was in an illusion set up by an immortal cultivator. Everything around him was very real. Whether it was touch, smell, hearing, or sight, he could not find any flaws.
However, he knew the strangeness of immortal cultivators. Some immortal cultivators with amazing cultivation could create illusions that were almost exactly the same as the real world. When people were in the illusions, there was almost no difference from the real world.
It was said that a long time ago, there was a powerful immortal cultivator who was proficient in the art of illusion stratagems. He used an illusion stratagem to surround a city. Then, the people in the city lived in this environment.
Generation after generation, almost no one noticed anything unusual.
The world in the illusion became a paradise for the people in the city. It was peaceful and beautiful. They lived and worked in peace and contentment. There were no illnesses or disasters. Almost all beautiful things could easily appear in front of them.
People in that world could not die, could not suffer from diseases, and could live forever.
Until one day, when the powerful immortal cultivator left the city, the illusion disappeared from that world. So, everything returned to the original rules and returned to the real world.
Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream. They realized that they had just had a dream. In reality, only a day had passed. Hence, the legend of a golden millet dream came into being.
Mo Wen, who understood how terrifying the illusion stratagem was, naturally knew that the situation before him was not optimistic. Although the environment before him was very beautiful, it was very possible that they would be trapped in this environment for the rest of their lives, unable to get out.
Mo Wen tried hard to find a flaw in the surrounding environment. He wanted to prove that this was just an illusion and not the real world. However, no matter how he looked, he could not find a single flaw.
"Mo Wen, why do you look so pale?"
Gong Biluo looked at Mo Wen in shock. She realized that Mo Wen's condition seemed to be a little off. Previously, he was quite optimistic. Why did his expression change so suddenly?
"I'm fine!"
Mo Wen smiled and gave Gong Biluo a comforting look. If they had really fallen into an illusion, then rather than telling Gong Biluo, it would be better not to tell her.
However, all of this was just his conjecture. It was also possible that this was not an illusion, but a real world.
It was not a rare thing for the Immortal Cultivators to create such a place under the ground.
Some powerful immortal cultivators knew how to use spatial techniques. Perhaps the garden in front of them was also a separated space.
Mo Wen walked one round in the garden and realized that the garden was really huge. He wouldn't be able to reach the end in a short amount of time.
He paid special attention to the surrounding plants and found that they were all ordinary plants. There were no spirit herbs or spirit medicines.
"What a beautiful spring!"
Gong Biluo seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen and Jun Wulei immediately walked over. They saw that in front of Gong Biluo, there was a small pond. It was only two meters in diameter. The surroundings were all made of exquisite jade. On top of it, there were beautiful gemstones. It was exquisite and luxurious.
In the small pond, there was a pool of clear water. The clear water was crystal clear, and one could see the bottom at a glance. It was not stagnant water. Water droplets were constantly rolling on the surface, like a pool of crystals.
It was the first time that Gong Biluo had seen water that was so clear.
"Spiritual spring!"
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. His gaze was fixed on the pond water. There was actually a spiritual spring in this garden!
The spiritual spring was a treasure that was hard to find in the Immortal Cultivation world. For the Immortal Cultivators, it had unimaginable effects.
Unfortunately, he was not an Immortal Cultivator. A spiritual spring was placed in front of him, but he could only look at it.
Mo Wen sighed in distress. He was a typical case of coming across a mountain of gold but not being able to obtain the treasure.
"Spiritual spring? What is that?"
Jun Wulei looked at Mo Wen in surprise. This guy's Cultivation was not good, but he had a lot of knowledge. He knew some things much better than them.
"The spiritual spring is spring water formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is a spiritual source of heaven and earth. A mouthful of the spiritual spring water can extend one's lifespan by at least ten years. If a woman drinks a mouthful, she can also maintain her youth and slow down aging. It has a very strong beautifying effect. "
Mo Wen tried his best to explain it in a simpler way. Both of them did not know about Immortal Cultivation, so there were many things that they would not understand even if he explained. In reality, the spiritual spring was very useful to the Immortal Cultivators. It was a rare treasure in heaven and earth.
According to what Mo Wen knew, the Divine Pill Sect that he was in had a spiritual spring formed by heaven and earth. However, it was the sect's treasure. Ordinary people could not even get close to it. He had only heard of it and had never seen it before.
It was precisely because of the existence of the spiritual spring that the Divine Pill Sect's alchemy level was higher than many sects in the Immortal Cultivation world that specialized in alchemy. It had become one of the few big sects.
Now, a spiritual spring had actually appeared in front of him. Mo Wen did not know what he was feeling at the moment.
"Does it really have the effect of maintaining one's youth?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Biluo's eyes lit up. She subconsciously walked towards the spiritual spring. For women, no matter what kind of woman they were, they would always care about their appearance. Things that could maintain one's youth had a fatal attraction to them.
Beauty aged quickly. How many people could resist the erosion of time?
"Don't go over."
Mo Wen pulled Gong Biluo back, preventing her from getting close to the spiritual spring.
A look of doubt flashed in Gong Biluo's eyes. She looked at Mo Wen uncomprehendingly. It was just a spring. What was he so nervous about?
"Do you think that there is no protection around the spiritual spring?"
Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gong Biluo and said helplessly, "If you don't want to be blasted into pieces, it's best not to get close to this spiritual spring. It's because the spiritual spring is surrounded by terrifying prohibitions. Moreover, they are a million times stronger than the one you encountered before."
How could he not notice that the spiritual spring was surrounded by terrifying prohibitions left by the Immortal Cultivators? Every one of them was very terrifying. After hundreds and thousands of years of corrosion, those prohibitions had many loopholes and were no longer as powerful as before.
However, it was still something that they could not touch. Not to mention them, even some Immortal Cultivators with high Cultivation would not dare to casually touch this spiritual spring. The person who had set up these prohibitions must have been an exceptional Mighty Cultivator.
Upon hearing this, Gong Biluo drew in a cold breath. Immediately, she did not have the intention of going forward to investigate. She did not want to experience the suffering she had suffered when she was trapped in the prohibitions again.
"Let's go. Let's go inside. Perhaps we have walked into an unexpected and mysterious place."
Mo Wen drew in a deep breath. A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked into the depths of the garden. There was a path with stone steps that extended all the way up. As the distance was very far, from their position, they could not see clearly what was at the end of the path.
However, the appearance of a spiritual spring in the garden made Mo Wen realize that perhaps the place they were in was not the illusion that he had imagined. Instead, it was a space that truly existed.
It was almost impossible for a spiritual spring to appear in the illusion. Moreover, there was no need for it. The spiritual spring was a spiritual object between heaven and earth. It contained a unique law of nature. It was impossible for normal illusions to simulate it.
Even if a Mighty Cultivator could simulate a spiritual spring, it would certainly not be easy. There was absolutely no need to use it on them.
Also, this place must have existed for a very, very long time. For such a long time, it had withstood the corrosion of time. If it was an illusion and a spiritual spring was created, it was impossible that there would be no loopholes at all.
Hence, Mo Wen was sure that this place was not an illusion. It was more like the mansion of a Mighty Cultivator. To have a spiritual spring in the garden, the owner of the mansion must have been an incredible person. Otherwise, how could such a precious thing as the spiritual spring be placed in the garden for people to admire?
In his previous life, he had heard that some nature-defying Mighty Cultivators could open up a space on their own and build their own mansions in the space dimension.
Since Mo Wen had made his decision, Gong Biluo and Jun Wulei did not have any objections. Now, they no longer had any thoughts of treasure hunting. If they could walk out of this godforsaken place alive, they would burn incense and pray to Buddha.
Mo Wen took the lead and followed the path of stone steps that they could see, walking all the way up.
The stone steps extended all the way up. It was very, very long. No one knew exactly how long it was, because they could not see the end of it at all.
"What a long path to heaven!"
Jun Wulei looked at the endless stone steps in front of him. A glint of surprise flashed in his eyes. If they continued to walk like this, there was almost an illusion that they could not walk to the end.
The path of stone steps in front of them could indeed be called the path to heaven. It extended all the way to the sky, seemingly without an end.
"I'm afraid we have experienced a fortuitous encounter that no one else has experienced in their lifetime," Gong Biluo said with a sigh.
Gong Biluo sighed with emotion. Everything was too miraculous, and it had practically shattered her previous understanding.
Mo Wen, on the other hand, did not have a strange expression. It was not surprising that Immortal Cultivators had such tricks. This was just a mansion. They might have to climb up bit by bit, but if it was a Mighty Cultivator with profound Cultivation, with a slight thought, they could cross many spaces and travel a thousand miles in one step. That was not a legend.
The three of them continued to walk forward, not knowing fatigue or time. They only hoped that they could reach the end of the stone steps as soon as possible.
They did not know how long they had walked. Maybe one day, maybe two days, maybe three days …
In short, when the three ancient martial art practitioners with profound Cultivation were about to collapse from exhaustion, a huge palace building finally appeared in front of them.
"That is …"
Gong Biluo pointed to the front. There was finally a glimmer of color in her eyes. That scene was too magnificent! (To be continued.)
