A hundred miles to the west of the palace, countless fishes swam across the ocean. They were colorful and extremely beautiful.
However, there was one creature that didn't fit in.
It had eight wings on its back and was hundreds of meters long. Its entire body was swirling with black light, eerie and terrifying.
It was the Heaven Swallowing Python.
On its back, Ling Xian stood proudly. Like an immortal, his demeanor was unparalleled.
"The way I see it, the Imperial Guard was probably lying to you. How can there be an underground palace here?" The Heaven Swallowing Python mumbled.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Ling Xian's eyes were deep, "Be quiet. I am going to start searching."
Then, the space between his brows began to shine. An enlivener emerged in a lotus position and began to emit seven colors.
At once, a powerful wave of Qi swept across everything within a hundred miles. It carefully searched and didn't miss a single corner.
After some time, Ling Xian smiled. He found something strange in the coral reef.
If he wasn't wrong, that was the entrance to the underground palace.
"Found it. Let's go."
Ling Xian hopped down from the Heaven Swallowing Python's back and arrived at the center of the coral reef. Then, he found out that there was an array here.
He was too lazy to break it. He punched the ground and planned on using brute force to break it open.
After his punch landed, the entire coral reef instantly shattered. However, the array did not budge at all, displaying a shocking defensive ability.
"What a powerful array. It looks like I will have to slowly break it."
Ling Xian frowned slightly, knowing that using brute force wouldn't work. Therefore, he used his Qi to investigate the array. After some time, his frown deepened. This was troublesome.
Based on his senses, this array was very high level. Even with his knowledge, it would be difficult to break it.
But no matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way.
Therefore, Ling Xian used his finger as a pen and drew across the air. At once, inscriptions filled the sky and an infinite amount of arrays poured into the array before him.
Unfortunately, the talisman formation merely flashed once before it returned to silence. This meant that his previous actions had no effect on the formation at all.
"What a powerful array …"
Ling Xian squinted. As much as he felt troubled, his desire to fight was ignited.
He had the inheritance of two immortals. If he was stopped by this array, then wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"Break!"
Ling Xian's gaze was determined. Using everything he has learned, he vowed to break this array. Using his finger as a brush, he drew runes and formation networks that filled the sky, disintegrating the power of this formation.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
After an entire hour, Ling Xian finally made a hole in the array. It was enough for him and the Python to enter.
"Phew, it actually took two hours."
Seeing the entrance to the underground palace appear before his eyes, Ling Xian exhaled a mouthful of murky air. He was a little dissatisfied with his own speed.
Fortunately, His Majesty, who controlled the entire Abyss Demon Sea, was not here. Otherwise, if he heard what he said, he would probably vomit blood out of anger.
To know that this array was something the Mermaid Empress paid a great price for. For Ling Xian to break a hole in it within an hour was already shocking.
"Heaven Devouring Python, let's go."
Staring at the pitch black entrance, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with seriousness. However, he walked in with determination.
Mushroom was his savior, and was also an existence that he viewed as his younger sister. If he did not save her, his heart would not be at ease.
Therefore, Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps.
Seeing this, the Python sighed helplessly, but it could only follow.
Just like that, the man and the beast retracted their breathing and walked in the dark tunnel. Along the way, they encountered many traps.
But to Ling Xian, none of this was a problem and he easily solved it.
After half an hour, he and the Python arrived at the end and saw the real underground palace.
The area before them was very empty. The entire palace was dark and gloomy, and evil energy was swirling around. In the middle of the palace, three black cauldrons stood there, surrounding an altar. They looked eerie, mysterious, and terrifying.
"Three cauldrons …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and carefully retracted his breathing. He then shifted his gaze elsewhere. Then, his eyes exploded with dazzling light.
In the southeast corner of the palace, a group of young girls were kneeling on the ground. Every single one of them had a pale white face and were trembling.
Among them was an especially beautiful young girl. She had a pair of sapphire like eyes that were clear and transparent. Her beauty was dreamlike. However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with tears. She looked so lovely that even the heavens would pity her.
It was Mushroom.
The moment he saw her, Ling Xian's eyes brightened and he sighed in relief. No matter what, as long as she was alive, there was hope.
When he saw a man wearing a dragon robe, his heart dropped to the bottom of an abyss.
That person was standing straight like a God who was sitting above the nine heavens. He was extremely dignified and peered down at everyone.
His body was surrounded by waves of energy and his Qi was heavy and heavy. He gave off a mysterious vibe. He was at least of the sixth level.
Without a doubt, this person was the ruler of the mermaid kind and the ruler of the entire Sea of Demons.
Therefore, Ling Xian's heart dropped. He silently retreated back into the tunnel and used the darkness to hide himself.
At the same time, he retracted his Qi and formed an array around himself and the Python.
What could he do? Against a sixth level powerhouse, even if he revealed a little bit of his Qi, he would be immediately detected.
Therefore, he carefully hid himself and thought of a way to save himself.
He couldn't fight head on. With his cultivation level today, he would be killed within seconds. Therefore, he could only hide and wait for his opportunity.
Just then, the Deep Sea Controller spoke.
"Finally, I have gathered 50 offerings. After today, my capabilities will increase by another level. When that happens, I will break through the Pavilion of Three Lives and become the new ruler of the Luo Yang Region! "
The mermaid king's eyes were full of passion as he stared at the 50 young girls, "To be able to become an offering for that unparalleled being, you should feel honored."
Hearing this, the young girls' bodies shook even harder. Desperation filled the entire palace.
"Unparalleled being?"
Noticing this keyword, Ling Xian frowned. He knew that the mermaid king's ritual was to exchange offerings for power.
"Hahaha, let us begin now. After you are consumed by that unparalleled being, I will be able to grow stronger!"
Laughing out loud, the mermaid king's face was heated and he was in a state of excitement.
It was probably because he was too excited that he let his guard down and didn't notice Ling Xian's existence.
After another round of laughter, the Deep Sea Controller arrived before the altar in a flash and formed a mysterious hand seal.
At once, eeriness filled the air and engulfed the entire palace.
Especially after he began to chant an incantation, the evil energy intensified. Even though Ling Xian was far away, he could feel the pressure.
His heart was even palpitating. It was as if a demon was about to appear and bathe the world in blood.
However, despite the pressure, the moment the mermaid king began his ritual, Ling Xian smiled.
Because his opportunity was here.
