"I don't know which era this Dragon Palace is from."
Li Mu pondered.
After passing through the palace, there was a garden-like area behind.
All kinds of aquatic plants were swaying in it.
Obviously, because no one had taken care of it all year round, these plants were growing wildly.
Some of them exuded a majestic vitality, which even moved Li Mu.
Especially one of the strange vermilion plants, which looked like aquatic plants, swaying gently and emitting a faint aura of law.
Li Mu tried to pick it up.
But with a flash of light, the plant disappeared.
Its aura quickly went away.
Like a frightened rabbit, he disappeared without a trace.
"What kind of divine thing is this? Is it because it has been growing for too long, so it has become intelligent?"
Li Mu was surprised.
Soon, Li Mu was not surprised at all.
That was because he had run into several very strange aquatic plants in succession. They had already become spirits and gained spiritual intelligence. They had condensed the Brand of Dharma in their bodies and were naturally close to the Great Way. Once someone approached them, they would immediately flee. Even with Li Mu's cultivation, he could not catch them.
"God has the virtue of cherishing life."
Li Mu did not use his supernatural power to chase them.
With his vision and experience, he had long passed the period of capturing such external opportunities.
As he walked forward, he finally saw the traces of the outsiders.
There were corpses on the ground.
They were several dark-skinned black people.
They were wearing tattered diving suits of the same standard. They should be a diving exploration team sent by a certain force. Judging from their skin color, they should be a small force on the African continent. The diving equipment looked ordinary, not high-tech. They could dive to the depth of the Dragon Palace because of their strong personal cultivation.
But that was all.
They were all dead.
They looked extremely frightened and ferocious.
Their injuries were almost the same.
As if they had encountered some terrible beasts before they died, which tore them apart.
"Is there any living creature in this Dragon Palace?"
Li Mu was quite surprised.
Of course, it was also possible that they encountered members of other forces and were strangled.
Li Mu did not care too much.
He gave up paying attention to everything else and rushed to the depths of the Dragon Palace.
For Li Mu, the many opportunities and treasures in the Dragon Palace were not as attractive as the strange call.
Once they figured out the reason for the summoning, they would come out and fight for it, killing all the other competitors.
All the treasures in the Dragon Palace belonged to Li Mu.
Li Mu directly flew up and rushed to the place where the summoning fluctuation came from.
The interior of the Dragon Palace was thousands of miles wide.
"Such a huge underwater Dragon Palace has not been discovered before. Could it be because of the seal?"
Li Mu pondered as he flew.
Logically speaking, with humans relying on technology to explore Earth, the deep sea was a forbidden zone for mortals. However, there was no way that the various nations that had grasped advanced technology and conducted extensive research and exploration, as well as the champions of various Extraordinary factions, would not have been oblivious to the abnormalities.
The only explanation was that the Dragon Palace was concealed by a seal, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect it.
But why did such an earth-shattering appearance suddenly attract the attention of the whole world?
Perhaps it could be explained by the sudden failure of the seal.
But Li Mu didn't think it was that simple.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Li Mu stopped.
"That's not right.
We have already traveled thousands of kilometers. We should have passed through the Dragon Palace long ago. Why is there still an endless cluster of buildings in front of us … "
There was no aura or sign of a worldlet.
That meant it was not another worldlet that had been opened up.
The underwater Dragon Palace was so huge.
Li Mu carefully sensed and was sure that the summoning aura was getting closer and closer.
It was getting clearer and clearer.
It seemed that his family was calling him from the depths of the Dragon Palace.
After a little hesitation, he continued to move forward.
About half an hour later.
"Here we are."
On a gentle slope that extended for tens of miles, tens of thousands of water-kind statues were standing around a six-hundred-meter-tall, enormous tower, which looked like an army.
The appearance of the palace was golden, as if it was a heavenly palace. It was divided into seven floors and glittered with golden light.
Even from a distance, Li Mu could feel a burst of majestic pressure.
The statues around the pagoda were exactly the same as the one in front of the palace. They maintained very clear body movements and looked very lifelike. They were all shrimp soldiers, crab generals, sea yakshas, turtle warriors, seahorse warriors, shark generals, blue whale warriors and so on. There were also some sea pythons and so on.
Anyway, they were all kinds of strange and intelligent sea creatures.
But there were no dragons.
Thousands of statues of the aquatic creatures surrounded the pagoda as far as the eye could see.
Almost all of them maintained the posture of rushing towards the pagoda. Their expressions were vivid, and their eyes were looking towards the top of the pagoda. Some of them opened their mouths and cursed, while others roared. It gave people the feeling that if someone canceled the pause button, they would come back to life and rush towards the giant pagoda.
They were also holding weapons in their hands.
They were all above the level of Spirit Treasures.
There were even weapons at the level of Heavenly Treasures and Taoist Instruments.
Most of them still retained their spirituality.
Maybe it was because of the special clean environment in the Dragon Palace.
Li Mu's eyes passed through the army of statues of the aquatic creatures and fell on the golden pagoda.
The seven-story pagoda seemed to be made of pure gold and was overflowing with light. Looking closely, layers of golden light and shadow were faintly visible, shrinking and expanding. The light and shadow were the image of the seven-story pagoda. There were also some strange and simple symbols that appeared as the light and shadow pagoda expanded and shrank.
The summoning message that he had sensed before came from this golden pagoda.
Li Mu passed through the army of statues of the aquatic creatures and came to the front of the pagoda.
He looked around.
The whole pagoda had a strange shape.
It was octagonal on the seventh floor.
It was big at the bottom and small at the top.
On every corner of every floor, there were eaves that were raised high up.
Under the eave, there were small bells hanging with finger-thick golden rings, which were also golden.
Looking carefully, the small bells were also engraved with various talismans.
There were no doors around the pagoda.
On the east of the first floor, there was a completely solid fake door.
There was a plaque in Yin script above the door.
There were five big words on it —
Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Li Mu was shocked when he saw it.
Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?
He knew this name.
In the legends, Li Jing, the general of the Heavenly Court, was known as the Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King.
The treasure in his hand was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
According to the legend, this pagoda was given to Li Jing by Randeng Taoist in the Spirit Vulture Mountain. It was a precious treasure of the Heavenly Realm.
According to the legend, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had infinite power and could suppress all demons and ghosts. At the same time, it could also subdue the immortals who disobeyed the rules of the Heavenly Court.
Someone with the same name?
Or was the legend true?
Li Mu's curiosity couldn't dissipate.
If he hadn't seen the Five Villages Temple, the Fruit of Life, the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave, and the Bodhi Taoist Field during his previous exploration of the Immortal Palace and the Immortal Palace, Li Mu would never have associated this pagoda with myths and legends.
But now, he had reason to believe that this pagoda was Li Jing's Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
If it really was the legendary pagoda, then where did its owner, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, go?
Li Mu turned around and looked at the endless statues of the Water Clan.
In fact, Li Mu had already guessed that these so-called statues of the Water Clan warriors were actually living creatures with flesh and blood. In an instant, they were directly suppressed and petrified here by the Great Divines.
Li Mu was a little surprised and doubtful.
In his previous life, he might be able to kill these experts of the Water Clan in an instant when he was at the peak of his realm.
But it was beyond his power to turn them into stone statues and stand here for so many years.
What on earth happened here back then?
Li Mu slowly reached out and put his hand on the golden pagoda.
Sizzle.
In an instant, an incomparably hot and soul-burning temperature came from his fingers.
Li Mu felt pain and retracted his palm.
It was indeed a treasure of the Heaven Realm.
Li Mu circled around the pagoda a few times, but he couldn't enter.
He tried to use his supernatural power to subdue the pagoda, but it was impossible.
His supernatural power couldn't shake the pagoda at all.
He wanted to take it, but he couldn't.
"Was it this pagoda that summoned me before, or was it someone trapped in the pagoda?"
Li Mu calmed down and guessed.
Just at this moment, the familiar summoning force suddenly became intense.
Then, the entire pagoda suddenly shone with golden divine light.
The fake door in the east gradually became lifelike. The two originally solid door panels gradually opened.
Behind the door, there was a golden light.
He couldn't see the specific situation inside.
The door opened.
Li Mu stood at the door, a little conflicted.
Why did the door suddenly open?
In the legends, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was used to suppress demons, ghosts, and immortals who had made mistakes. It could be said that it was a prison.
So, now that the gate of the prison was open, should he go in?
If he was suppressed inside after going in, he would be a complete joke.
Inviting him into the trap.
Should he walk into the trap?
After a moment of hesitation, the friendly summoning power became stronger.
It came from inside the gate.
Li Mu thought about it, made up his mind, and went straight in.
The moment he entered, the gate behind him was closed with a bang.
However, Li Mu didn't panic.
Because he had already expected such a change.
His eyes quickly adapted to the golden light in the pagoda.
The interior space of the first floor of the pagoda was much larger than it looked from the outside.
It was as if he had entered a temple hall.
The walls on all sides were densely filled with sculptures of gods and Buddhas, all of which were fist-sized, lifelike, and solemn. They were placed in the shrines, and four giant statues hundreds of meters high occupied the main areas of the four walls. They were like glaring vajras, holding demon-subduing pestles, vajra hammers, divine drums, divine swords, and other treasures. They were majestic.
A vast and majestic aura filled the entire space.
