"Don't ask. Let's get out of here first." The girl's eyes were full of fear.
The bottom of the lake was dark and gloomy. Ye Fan's body was glowing like a lantern in the water.
The rusty bronze palace in front of him was as big as a city. It made him feel uneasy. A special vibration came.
Ye Fan carried the purple-clothed girl and retreated. Behind him, seven or eight wax corpses floated up from the broken walls. It was a very strange sight.
"Faster!" The girl in purple looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her face was pale.
Ye Fan was not an impulsive person. In this unknown situation, he would not take risks. He broke the water and wanted to leave the bottom of the lake.
However, a terrifying aura that caused one's heart to palpitate came crashing down from above, causing the two of them to be horrified. A huge shadow, like a cloud that blotted out the sky, slowly floated past.
Ye Fan could not bear it. The light around his body was extinguished. The girl in purple almost suffocated. The two of them were pushed down by a powerful force. They fell to the bottom of the lake.
"What is that?" Ye Fan was bewildered. He sent out his powerful consciousness but it was like a clay ox entering the sea. The top was gray as if a giant creature had swum by.
He was not satisfied. He picked up the girl in purple and swam in another direction. Then, he broke the water again. However, the same thing happened again. The top was dark. It was like a terrifying black hole was releasing strange demonic energy. It was like a mountain was pressing down.
It was suffocating. Ye Fan seemed to be hit by a thunder god's hammer. His body shook and he fell down again. He could not get up.
"What is that? Is it a living creature?" His expression was solemn. He felt that things were not good.
The purple-clothed young lady's God Power was sealed and she was continuously being suppressed. She was on the verge of fainting as she leaned against Ye Fan's body.
"Wake up." Ye Fan shook her awake.
"It's over. We can't escape." The purple-clothed girl's face was pale, and her big eyes were filled with fear. She no longer had her original playfulness.
The enormous shadow was like an ancient beast from the beginning of the world. It was boundless and covered the top of the lake, making it impossible to rush over. Ye Fan wanted to find the underground river and retrace his steps, but he could no longer find it.
"Don't search anymore. That's a rootless river, also known as the Underworld River. Once it breaks away, it will disappear without a trace. It's impossible to find it." The purple-clothed young lady was sobbing, her expression dispirited.
At this moment, the surroundings were sealed and there was no way to leave. Ye Fan stopped trying and calmed himself down. He asked in detail, "What exactly is going on? What kind of place is this? What kind of background does the Bronze Immortal Palace have?"
The purple-clothed girl had a distressed look on her face. She blinked her large eyes and said, "Wuwu … I don't want to die. I'm so smart, beautiful, and peerless. I haven't even shown my splendor and my name has spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland. How could I end up in such a place?"
"Don't be so narcissistic, hurry up and say it." Ye Fan unceremoniously knocked on her smooth, jade-like forehead.
"The Bronze Immortal Palace has only appeared a few times in history. Its background is mysterious, and no one knows its past. Once you enter, there is no way out …" The purple-clothed girl sighed.
"Am I really going to die here?" Ye Fan felt uneasy.
"It is the tomb of a peerless expert. Every time it appears, the Eastern Wasteland will be shaken. Peerless experts will rush over like moths to a flame."
"Why?" Ye Fan didn't understand.
"Legend has it that this majestic palace was built by an immortal. For countless years, almost no one in the Eastern Wasteland has become an immortal. Those who stand at the peak of the immortal dao naturally can't resist the temptation."
"Hiss!"
Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. This Bronze Immortal Palace seemed to have a great origin.
"Tell me in detail."
After the shock, the purple-clothed girl calmed down a lot. However, her expression was still somewhat dejected. She wrinkled her nose and said, "It appeared long before the Antiquity Era …"
"So ancient …" Ye Fan was shocked. If that was the case, then the Bronze Immortal Palace was equivalent to running through half of the Eastern Wasteland's history.
"Legend has it that it was built by an immortal, but there is no proof. Over the years, it has only appeared four or five times and buried many peerless experts."
According to the purple-clothed girl, the Bronze Immortal Palace was very mysterious. This relic could move under the Eastern Wasteland. Every time it appeared, it would appear in a different region and drift along the River of Darkness.
"The legend might not be true. There must be a way to escape." Ye Fan frowned and thought. Then, he asked, "Think carefully again. Is there anything you missed?"
"What I know is what I read in the ancient books. There are only a few records." At this point, the purple-clothed girl seemed to have thought of something and said, "It seems like there was one time …"
The purple-clothed girl had heard of a legend. In a certain era, the Eastern Wasteland was extremely prosperous. Many peerless figures appeared. At that time, the Immortal Palace appeared again. The peerless figures of that time worked together and snatched a corpse from the Bronze Immortal Palace.
"It is said that it was the corpse of an immortal …"
Ye Fan was shocked. "There really are immortals?!"
The purple-clothed girl shook her head and said, "This matter was not recorded in the ancient books. It is just a rumor in the Eastern Wasteland. I don't know if it is true or not."
"Where did the immortal's corpse end up?"
"It seems … it was divided equally by the holy land and the Clan of the Ancients."
"There is such a thing …" Ye Fan found it hard to calm down. No wonder it was called the Bronze Immortal Palace. It seemed to have some connection with immortals. He immediately thought of the Ji Clan and said, "Does this mean that the Ji Clan got a share of the immortal's corpse?"
"It is said that countless years ago, my clan obtained an immortal's arm. However, the elders in the clan all denied it. Anyway, I have never seen it."
"Even if it is true, they would definitely deny it. There is no way they would let a little girl like you know."
"Hey, hey, hey. Little brother, don't be so old. You are not as old as me." The purple-clothed girl glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
Ye Fan chuckled and pinched her nose. "I have lived for more than ten thousand years. How can a little girl like you compare to me?"
The bronze palace, which was as grand as a city, was majestic and full of green rust. It was engraved with the aura of time. Ye Fan circled around it a few times but did not dare to go too deep.
It had appeared in the Eastern Barren Territory many times and buried the top figures of several eras. No one could truly understand its origin. No one had ever walked out of it alive, which made it even more mysterious.
Ye Fan gazed at the wax corpses in the ruins, wanting to find some clues from them.
"These corpses are very likely to be the peerless experts of the past …" The purple-clothed girl twisted her body and said, "Let me go. Let me look for clues as well."
Ye Fan's heart was not at ease. If they really were the peerless experts of the past, he might be able to find great treasures from them. He peeled off the oil from one of the wax corpses and immediately revealed a lifelike human body. It was a Daoist nun. She was as beautiful as a flower and looked extremely lifelike as if she was in a deep sleep.
However, in just an instant, the ruddy-faced nun shriveled up. Then, her flesh and blood withered and turned into a skeleton. The water rippled and the white bones shattered, leaving nothing behind.
"This is …"
"The power of time is the most terrifying. As long as one hasn't become an immortal, no one can resist it." The purple-clothed girl revealed a shocked expression and said, "This corpse has existed for countless years. It was wrapped in mysterious energy and preserved until now. After its true body was exposed, it naturally couldn't exist for long."
Ye Fan peeled off several wax corpses. Every time the oil peeled off, a lifelike ancient person would be revealed. However, in just an instant, it would turn into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
He found some scrap metal on the ground. Those were the powerful spiritual treasures of the ancient people. However, after a long time, they had completely shattered.
"This is a person from before the Primordial Era. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years he has existed for. Nothing can be left behind …" The purple-clothed girl shouted again, "Let me go. Maybe I can find some valuable clues."
Ye Fan peeled off dozens of wax corpses, but the results were all the same. Once exposed, they would turn into ashes in an instant.
At this moment, Ye Fan felt a strange fluctuation coming from the huge copper palace. He said solemnly, "Not good, we have to leave quickly!"
He picked up the purple-clothed girl and rushed upwards. He wanted to force his way out, but a huge force was tearing towards them.
"Aiya, run!" The purple-clothed girl cried out in fear. She found that the two of them were flying towards the copper palace and were about to sink in.
Ye Fan was shocked. His sea of bitterness boiled, his life spring gushed out, and he used all his divine force. However, he still couldn't break free. The copper palace seemed to have a strange magical power that sucked them in.
"Bang!"
The two of them landed heavily on the ground. At this moment, they were already inside the copper palace. It was endless and spacious. There was an indescribable silence. The inside was drowsy and blurry.
They couldn't find the palace door. It was as if they had arrived in a desert without any signs of life. Time seemed to have stopped here, as if they were at the end of the world.
"I don't want to die. I, Ji Ziyue, am a peerless beauty. I haven't even become an immortal. How can I fall here …"
"Can you not be so narcissistic?" Ye Fan was really defeated by her.
A faint mist lingered around. It was extremely hazy. In the spacious copper palace, one couldn't see the end. It was as if they had arrived at the beginning of the world.
"Kacha!"
The sound of something shattering could be heard. The purple-clothed girl immediately cried out in fear, "What did my foot touch?"
There was a snow-white skeleton on the ground. There were many cracks all over its body. It lay there quietly. With just a slight touch, it would turn into bone powder.
"This person must have been incomparably powerful when he was alive. He wasn't wrapped up by the mysterious energy and his skeleton was actually preserved." Ye Fan was very shocked. He squatted down and carefully looked at it.
There were a few dried blood words on the ground. They were dark red and blurry. There was an indescribable charm to them. It was as if the essence, energy, and spirit of this expert were condensed here. It gave people a very special feeling as if it was conveying a type of emotion.
"May I ask the heavens if there are immortals?" There were only these few words. Before this person died, he seemed to be filled with regret and unwillingness.
To be able to preserve his skeleton, he was definitely a peerless expert from countless years ago. However, his heart was lost even at the moment of his death. One could imagine the disappointment and regret of not being able to see the clear sky.
