In one of the halls of the Black Wind Deity Palace.
A gold man clad in a grey robe, whose entire body seemed to be cast from gold, was sitting on the main seat. The gold man had a pair of glowing golden eyes. Just by sitting there, he emitted a formless pressure, as though he was a towering mountain.
"Big Brother."
There were four figures standing beside him.
These four figures were the grey-robed man, the red-haired handsome youth, the bewitching and beautiful woman, and the calm and indifferent child who had fought with Dongbo Xue Ying previously.
"We have searched the entire Black Wind Deity Palace, but we couldn't find that Dongbo Xue Ying!" The red-haired handsome youth hastily said.
"Old Five." The bewitching woman smiled lightly, and the surroundings seemed to be filled with color. This smile of hers was enough to move the hearts of many Transcendents. However, the four beside her were Deity warriors, so they weren't affected at all. "Are you mistaken? Master's attainments in arrays are extremely high. If a powerful Transcendent spent time to slowly decipher the arrays he set up, I would believe it! But you said that he disappeared without a trace. That's too ridiculous! "
"He indeed disappeared without a trace!" The grey-robed man was somewhat angry.
"Second Brother, you didn't find him either?" The gold man looked at the indifferent child.
The indifferent child nodded lightly, "I didn't find him! I went to the place where Old Five was guarding and carefully searched, but I couldn't find him! "
"Oh …"
The gold man pondered.
At this moment.
In the Mirage, Dongbo Xue Ying was watching these five with interest. From their conversation, he had already deduced that these five should be the so-called 'Five Shadows'. From the vague sense of threat he felt, each one was stronger than the last. Especially the gold man! The pressure he brought with him was even stronger than the green-armored protector who was protecting him.
This was normal. The green-armored protector formed by the green-gray bracelets specialized in protection! As for the gold man, Dongbo Xue Ying deduced that he was a Deity warrior who specialized in attacking!
"The number of Deity warriors of the Xia people can be counted on one hand." Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself. "However, every single one of them has reached the limits of the natural laws of the Heaven and Earth."
"As for the Celestial World Warriors in the Blackwind Deity Palace, there are weak ones and strong ones. That weak gray-robed man … was easily sent flying by the green-armored guardian. However, the other four are getting stronger and stronger. Even if they are slightly weaker, they are still five Celestial World Warriors." Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked. Celestial World Warriors? Those were made by a god, and there were five of them at once?
Dongbo Xue Ying also suspected that the White Fog Ape guarding the entrance of the palace was a Celestial World Warrior. However, it was a Celestial World Warrior that was slightly weaker than the gray-robed man.
Also, in the depths of the Black Wind Deity Palace, there was an existence that seemed to be from the Deity Realm.
In total … there were seven of them!
"No wonder the Palace Lord Chen was so vague about it." Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself, "There must be some secrets behind it."
"Hua!"
The gold man, who was sitting on the throne, stood up and said coldly, "All of you go back to your own places. I'm going to see that water rat!"
"That water rat, relying on the fact that Master trusted him the most, always puts on airs in front of us. How annoying." The red-haired handsome young man curled his lips.
"Hmph, in terms of strength, he is even weaker than Big Brother! Logically speaking, we should be in charge of the Black Wind Deity Palace. However, before Master died, he let that water rat take charge of it! "The gray-robed man snorted as well.
"Alright."
The gold man frowned and immediately left.
…
In the Mirage, Dongbo Xue Ying followed the gold man.
Soon …
The gold man arrived at a garden. In the garden, there was a lake that was several hundred meters wide. The water in the lake was pitch-black. On the shore of the black lake, the ground was as smooth as a mirror. A black rat, about half a meter tall, was sitting cross-legged like a human. The black rat's whiskers drooped down, and its eyes were closed as it silently cultivated.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
As the gold man walked, the earth seemed to shake. The smooth ground of the entire garden started to tremble, and the black lake started to roll.
"Boss Ying, it's rare that you come to see me. Do you want to fight every time?" The black rat opened its eyes, revealing a pair of bright, black eyes. "I can't beat you, but you can't do anything to me either. What's the point of fighting? Isn't it because Master trusted me the most and handed everything to me, letting me take charge? "
"I'm not fighting anymore." The gold man said coldly, "We are about to be freed. I'm afraid that we will soon leave this Black Wind Deity Palace. There's no need to fight anymore."
"You mean that human, Dongbo Xue Ying? Why? You five shadows have your own specialties, but you can't find him?" The black rat was shocked. He was in charge of the entire Black Wind Deity Palace's array. From the moment Dongbo Xue Ying disappeared, he was already on guard.
"I can't find him!" The gold man shook his head.
The black rat frowned. The frown of a rat was quite cute. Suddenly, he looked at the void beside him. "Dongbo Xue Ying, you should be here, right?"
"Mn?" The gold man's expression changed slightly.
"Haha, your guess is correct. I'm indeed here. However, you can't find me." Dongbo Xue Ying's voice reverberated within the garden, causing the gold man and the black rat to be startled. He was really here?
The black rat continued, "My master has only condensed a Deity Heart by relying on a grade three True Meaning. Even though he had some fortuitous encounters and had great accomplishments in the field of arrays, Even though he had some fortuitous encounters and had high achievements in the field of arrays, when it comes to True Meanings of a higher grade … like the legendary grade two True Meanings, or even the unimaginable grade one True Meanings, they are too strange and cannot be guarded against. You should have grasped hold of an extremely strange grade two True Meaning, right? "
"Is it impossible for me to have grasped hold of a grade one True Meaning?" Dongbo Xue Ying teased. His voice continued to reverberate.
"If you had grasped hold of a grade one True Meaning, I'm afraid you would have been able to sweep through everything." The black rat laughed. "It's impossible for you to be injured by the fifth shadow."
Hu.
Within this peaceful garden, a black-robed teenager walked out from the void. He was none other than Dongbo Xue Ying.
The gold man and the black rat looked curiously at this black-robed teenager, carefully scrutinizing his appearance and figure.
"What are the two of you doing?" Dongbo Xue Ying felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at like this.
"For you to be able to defeat the gatekeeper, Lei Wu, and survive against the fifth shadow, you must have grasped hold of at least a grade two True Meaning," the black rat said. "You've also grasped hold of an extremely strange and unfathomable grade two True Meaning. In other words, you must have grasped hold of at least two grade two True Meanings! In the history of the Xia people, other than you, there hasn't been anyone as formidable as you. "
"The most heaven-defying Transcendent in the history of the Xia people?" the black rat exclaimed.
Dongbo Xue Ying laughed. "I've already broken through the layers of arrays and arrived at the deepest part of this God Palace. I would like to ask if I have succeeded, and if I can obtain the treasures left behind by Senior Black Wind?"
The gold man and the black rat exchanged glances.
Did it count?
"My master has arranged for a Black Dragon to guard the outer perimeter. This Black Dragon is a refiner organism personally refined by my master." The black rat said. "As for the gatekeeper, Lei Wu, he is a Deity warrior. Behind him are the five shadows, each stronger than the last! They all have their own specialties, and breaking through their obstructions is extremely difficult. "
"Other than that, there are also the obstructions from the arrays! For example, after defeating the first shadow, you still need to forcefully break through an array. Usually, only someone with a combat power comparable to my master, or in other words, a Deity, can break through it! "
"Only after breaking through it can you reach my place!"
The black rat laughed, his whiskers curling up. "But you can't even win against the fifth shadow."
"However —"
"I still have to say that you have succeeded!" The black rat grinned. "My master only said that by relying on one's true strength to break through the layers of obstructions and arrive before me, the Xia people's Transcendents can obtain everything he left behind. Indeed, you have relied on your own strength to break through the layers of obstructions. "
Dongbo Xue Ying revealed a joyous expression.
He had actually succeeded?
By relying on the True Meaning of Mirage, those obstructions could not obstruct him at all, and he had arrived here. And he had succeeded? He was just asking, and he didn't have much hope for it. He was still thinking that even if he did not succeed, he could always try again in the future when he was stronger!
"Dongbo Xue Ying, you have grasped hold of at least two grade two True Meanings. If you are not qualified, who is?" the gold man said. "You have indeed relied on your own strength to break through the layers of obstructions!"
