Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying glanced at each other. They saw confusion in each other's eyes. Why had Mo Wen been taken away by a pillar of light out of nowhere? Yet, the two of them were safe and sound.
"What is that crimson gold tail feather in his arms?" Yin Banshuang asked, puzzled.
Both she and Jin Ying could tell that the problem lay with the crimson gold tail feather in Mo Wen's arms.
What was that? Why would a tail feather have a connection with the mysterious palace and why it had taken Mo Wen away? The two of them were confused.
"It should be some treasure. Humph, I knew that fellow was hiding some secret from us. "
Jin Ying narrowed her eyes slightly. She did not care about Mo Wen's life or death. She was only interested in his secret. The disappearance of the Vital Qi masses was already very strange. What was even stranger was that the remains of the Puppet Beasts had all disappeared as well.
The large remains of the Puppet Beasts were piled up like a small mountain. How could they have disappeared into thin air? Jin Ying did not believe that there was nothing wrong with them. It was just that she did not ask.
Or rather, she did not want to discuss this in front of Yin Banshuang. She had wanted to find Mo Wen in private and clarify the matter. However, she did not expect that Mo Wen would be taken away by the mysterious palace.
"Let's go. His life or death is up to fate. Since he was taken away, then we don't have to worry about him," Yin Banshuang said lightly.
However, the way she looked at Jin Ying had a special meaning. She was not blind. She had noticed such a huge change outside. How could she not know where the remains of the Puppet Beasts had gone? This was also what she was curious about.
However, like Jin Ying, she did not directly ask.
"The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise outside has most likely already snuck into the cave. Right now, it might be waiting for us at the entrance of the cave. You know how powerful that thing is. When the time comes, we will advance and retreat together. Don't play any tricks."
Jin Ying glanced at Yin Banshuang. Just like how they did not trust Mo Wen, there was no trust between the two of them.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine as long as you don't pick a fight. Do you think I want to die in the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise's stomach?"
Yin Banshuang snorted coldly. The scariness of the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise could not be measured by its cultivation. Although their cultivation had improved greatly and they would not be afraid of a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was different. With their abilities, even if they joined forces, they would only have the possibility of escaping.
However, with their current cultivation, even though they were no match for the danger that possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Mysterious Underworld Turtle, it was not too difficult for them to escape if they wanted to.
The two of them left silently, not taking Mo Wen's matter to heart. After all, they were only working together temporarily. Since they had obtained the Essence Qi, they would naturally go their separate ways.
…
The moment the white pillar of light retracted, Mo Wen had already appeared in a square surrounded by palaces.
It was desolate and overgrown with weeds. The buildings were severely damaged, and almost half of them had collapsed.
Among the weeds, he could see skeletons that were glowing with white light. The skeletons glowed with white light, like pieces of beautiful jade. Although there were very few complete skeletons, he could tell that the skeletons were not simple.
In reality, the skeletons were indeed not simple. After being corroded by endless time, the skeletons that could still be left behind were naturally not simple.
Mo Wen could tell with a glance that the owners of the skeletons had bodies of Icy Flesh and Jade Bones. Moreover, they were of a very high realm. They had not been ordinary for tens of thousands of years. He could be sure that the owners of these skeletons were certainly very frightening immortal cultivators when they were alive. Their cultivation was at least at the Tide Changing Realm.
There were actually so many immortal cultivators with high cultivation in a palace. This palace must have been built in a very long time. It was certainly not simple.
Mo Wen did not dare to touch the skeletons. After being corroded by time for so many years, the skeletons actually still contained violent power. Once touched, it was very likely that they would explode into dust.
He looked around and discovered that there was no way out at all. Mo Wen did not know why he had appeared in this place, but he knew that it definitely had something to do with the crimson gold tail feather.
"What exactly do you want?"
Mo Wen said somewhat helplessly as he looked at the crimson gold tail feather in his hand. Originally, he had only wanted to leave this space immediately. He had no intention of searching for treasures or exploring this space at all. Who knew that by a freak combination of factors, he would actually barge into the most dangerous group of palaces?
"I'll just take it one step at a time."
Mo Wen sighed. Right now, he could only pray that his luck was good and that he would not run into any trouble. He knew that the crimson gold tail feather had something to do with the owner of this group of palaces. As the Inferno Star Lord's Natal Treasure, its connection with the Inferno Star Lord was definitely the closest.
Mo Wen walked forward for a distance and discovered that there was only a large hall in the distance that was still relatively intact. That place was slightly more normal.
The other places were either in ruins or had remnants of violent energy storms. It was impossible to go over at all.
"Inferno Star Hall."
Mo Wen walked to the front of the large hall. There were four large words written on the signboard in flamboyant calligraphy. Each word was like a flying dragon dancing between heaven and earth. Although there were only a few words, they gave off an exceptionally strong visual impact.
They were very ancient words. Logically speaking, Mo Wen should not have been able to recognize the four words at all. However, the moment he saw the signboard, the meaning of the four words naturally appeared in his mind.
The Inferno Star Hall should be the main hall of this group of palaces.
Previously, from the information he had obtained from the crimson gold tail feather, he knew that this palace and even this space belonged to an immortal cultivator called the Inferno Star Lord. It was ancient and suitable. This was a very stable space. However, he did not know what had happened later on, causing this space to become a broken ruin.
Mo Wen pondered for a moment and then strode towards the Inferno Star Hall. It was because other than this large hall, he discovered that he could not go anywhere else.
There were nine levels of steps outside the Inferno Star Hall. Each level had 9,999 steps. For an ordinary person, climbing such steps was no different from climbing a mountain. However, for Mo Wen, it was not difficult at all.
In a moment, he climbed up the steps and appeared outside the large hall.
Inside the large hall, the space was very large. It was empty and silent. Standing inside was like standing an ant on a football field.
Mo Wen had seen such a large palace once before. It was the Devil's Heart Hall in the forbidden land of the Dafang Sect. It was where the Demon God Devil's Heart had lived. An ordinary architect would definitely not be able to build such a building.
The inside of the large hall was very large. Mo Wen walked around the hall curiously. Every 500 meters, there was a Spiral Dragon Pillar that seemed to reach the heavens. Each Spiral Dragon Pillar should have a diameter of more than 50 meters. It was unbelievably large.
Mo Wen stopped in front of a Spiral Dragon Pillar. He suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some figures carved on the Spiral Dragon Pillar. The figures were doing all sorts of different actions. Looking closely, it seemed like they were demonstrating martial arts. However, when one analyzed it carefully, one would discover that one could not understand anything. It was as though a layer of fog had covered one's eyes. The more one wanted to see clearly, the more one could not see clearly.
Mo Wen realized that the figures carved on the Spiral Dragon Pillar might not be simple. He forced himself to focus and stared at the faintly discernible figures. However, the harder one tried, the more one wanted to see clearly, the more one realized that one could not see clearly. Instead, one's vision became more and more blurry.
Puff!
Mo Wen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"How strange." Mo Wen's face was pale. He looked at the Spiral Dragon Pillar in front of him with a complicated gaze. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear.
Even with his soul power, he could not see the figures on the Spiral Dragon Pillar clearly. Instead, he had almost injured his soul.
Based on his senses, he guessed that the things carved on the Spiral Dragon Pillar should be something very profound, similar to martial arts. However, with his ability, he could not see any clues.
Mo Wen did not persist and continued walking forward. As he continued walking, he discovered that there were figures on every Spiral Dragon Pillar that seemed to be demonstrating martial arts. There were a total of 18 Spiral Dragon Pillars in the great hall. However, he could not see the figures on any of the Spiral Dragon Pillars clearly.
"What kind of martial arts are those?"
Mo Wen's mind was filled with doubts. The martial arts carved on the Spiral Dragon Pillars were certainly not ordinary martial arts. Even Absolute Rank martial arts would not be so profound. This was the first time he had encountered a martial arts that he could not understand at all.
"Huh, that is …"
Walking into the depths of the great hall, Mo Wen suddenly discovered a person. The person was sitting cross-legged under a statue of a deity. His body emanated an indescribably elegant aura. He looked like an old man, but his skin was as smooth and delicate as a baby's. He had white hair and a youthful face. His eyes were tightly shut and his face was rosy. He looked like an old man sleeping.
Mo Wen was initially shocked to see a person suddenly appear in such a place. However, he soon discovered that the old man sitting cross-legged looked like a dead person no matter how he looked at it. Although he looked no different from a living person on the surface, his body did not have the aura of life that a living person should have.
"A dead person?"
A huge question mark appeared in Mo Wen's mind. His expression was extremely strange. How could a dead person look more like a living person than a living person? On the surface, this old man did not look like a dead person at all. Instead, he looked healthier than anyone else.
Also, this mysterious palace had been abandoned for a long time. It was possible that it had been tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. After such a long time, it was already very impressive for a skeleton to be left. How could there be such a complete body preserved?
Mo Wen frowned slightly. Could it be that this old man was like him and had entered this palace many years later? However, he could not get out, so he could only sit here and die?
The possibility of this did not seem high. It was because people who could enter this place should also be able to get out. It was impossible that they had the ability to enter but not the ability to get out. As for Mo Wen himself, he had entered this place completely by chance. He could not be judged by common sense.
