The other two forces had also found several flying boats that could be used.
Compared with the entire Divine Jade Port, this flying boat was pitifully small.
They searched the entire port again, but found nothing else.
After some experiments, they soon mastered the way to control the boat.
Moreover, after a few tests, it was confirmed that this boat, which was carved from a large piece of Immortal Essence Jade, could sail in the black Devil Qi.
When the tactical deployment on the boat was activated, it could resist the black Devil Qi.
"It turns out that this black Devil Qi is called the Black Tide."
Some people found scattered jade slips in some of the houses in the port. There were some fragmentary records on them. The most important one was that the immortals who were stationed at the port suffered heavy losses when they were attacked by the black tide. In the end, they had to withdraw from the port …
Unfortunately, the records on the jade slips were quite simple, and the immortals at that time must have hurriedly fled and moved most of the things away. These scattered jade slips should have been left as garbage.
But from these scattered information, one thing could be confirmed —
The black Devil Qi, the so-called Black Tide, did not originally exist in the Shang Santian.
It came later.
Where did it come from?
It was a mystery.
In this port, the information they could get was really limited.
"Let's split up."
Immortal Master Mu Yun made such a suggestion.
The tattered map in his hand only pointed to this port. The other places were dark and unmarked, so it was useless.
Next, they needed to explore the way.
As for what they were looking for?
No one was sure.
They were probably looking for the immortals in the Shang Santian to find the so-called "final answer".
Immortal Master Mu Yun's proposal was approved by the three forces.
The parties split up.
Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong, together with the six experts of Dao Master Mountain, chose a small boat, and headed east.
The small boat left the port and entered the vast Black Tide.
Once again, the shrill roar that sounded like the struggling roar of demons from hell rang in their ears.
In the Black Tide, the smoke condensed into sharp claws and ghost faces, crazily rushing towards the small boat, but they were blocked by the milky white light shield released by the Immortal Essence Jade on the body of the boat.
This kind of Immortal Essence Jade seemed to have a natural restraining effect on the Black Tide.
Zhan Zu personally steered the small boat.
Traveling in the boundless Black Tide was like walking in a land of demons and monsters.
According to the agreed time, no matter what they encountered within three days, they would have to return to the harbor to reunite. Therefore, the speed of the small boat wasn't very fast. Along the way, they were exploring, trying to find a new foothold or other possibilities.
Half a day later.
"There's an immortal palace up ahead."
Li Mu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "A kilometer ahead on the right … Let's slow down and be careful."
Everyone became vigilant.
Soon, an immortal palace floating in the void was vaguely visible under the guidance of the small boat's floating lantern.
The Immortal Palace was greenish-gray in color, as if it was cast from some type of metal. It had a total of three floors, completely in the style of China's Tang Dynasty, majestic and imposing.
There were twenty-one steps in front of the hall.
Within the scope of the main hall, the Black Tide was thin.
The small boat was listening at the steps of the main hall.
Everyone got off the boat, and each of them held a torch carved from "Immortal Essence Jade" in their hands. The light of the torch could repel the black tide and illuminate the darkness. These were all found in the port and could be used as temporary protective measures.
"There are corpses here."
Pluto walked at the forefront and loudly reminded, "Everyone, be careful."
On the stone steps of the Immortal Palace, there were indeed corpses in armor, as if they were soldiers who had died in battle, lying in disorder and piled up.
At first glance, it was shocking.
The faces of these corpses were dark and their muscles were stiff as if they were made of black iron. Perhaps it was because they'd been dead for too long, but their facial features were basically warped and deformed like clay sculptures made by poor craftsmen, and they looked hideous and terrifying.
"There are no obvious injuries on their bodies, so they should have died in the black tide," the War Ancestor approached to observe and said doubtfully, "But if they died in the black tide, shouldn't they turn into black water and sublimate into mist like Emperor Yan?"
He touched the corpses with his energy in the air.
Boom!
With a slight touch, the corpses immediately turned into ashes and directly drifted away.
"Hmm?"
When the War Ancestor was puzzled, he saw the black ashes that the corpses had turned into, tumbling, suddenly turned into a black ghost-like figure, pouncing toward him, and at the same time let out a shrill roar.
The War Ancestor, who had outstanding cultivation, seemed to have lost his mind, standing where he was without any reaction.
"Be careful."
Hua Xiangrong made a move.
She pointed the purple long sword in her hand.
The purple qi burst out.
Not only did it melt the black ghost-like figure, but also all the corpses on the steps were all rolled into ashes and dissipated.
The War Ancestor took a few steps back, also covered in cold sweat.
"Thank you, Lord Bai."
Just now, he was instantly taken away by the ghost roar, and his mind was also confused by the shape of the black ghost-like figure. At that moment, he lost the ability to react, and almost watched the ghost-like figure pounce on him.
Although he didn't know what terrible things would happen when the black ghost-like figure got close to him, he still felt that he had escaped a disaster.
"Everyone, be careful. In the Upper Three Heavens, there are traps everywhere, and every step is dangerous. Any carelessness may cost you both your body and soul. It's not like in the Middle Three Heavens."
Hua Xiangrong emphasized coldly.
The six experts repeatedly said yes, and did not dare to have the slightest neglect.
Only Li Mu, at this moment, was slightly stunned.
When Hua Xiangrong attacked just now, her cultivation was much stronger than when she fought against the War Ancestor and the True Ancestor.
It seemed that in the past few months, Hua Xiangrong's cultivation had also soared a lot.
"Come on, let's go into the hall and have a look."
Li Mu took the lead and walked in front.
Climbing the steps, they came to the outside of the hall.
On both sides of the hall door, there were ten columns, supporting the eaves of the second floor that extended outward.
The columns were covered with knife marks and sword holes, which were full of traces of battle.
At the door of the hall, there were also corpses.
But most of these corpses were killed in battle.
Or their bodies were mutilated.
Or there were obvious holes.
The armors on their bodies had already lost their Spiritual Qi and were like ordinary iron. Most of the weapons in their hands were broken. Their facial expressions were vivid and lifelike, maintaining an expression of anger or violence. Most of them were still in the posture of fighting when they died …
Moreover, these corpses were as hard as fairy iron. When touched, they made a long clanging sound like gold and iron.
At the entrance of the palace, there were hundreds of armored corpses that formed a human wall, as if they were guarding something within the palace. From their expressions, it was as if they were trying to stop some terrifying enemy from charging into the palace. They would rather die than retreat.
"What is in the hall?"
Li Mu suddenly became curious.
