Bang.
Lu An pressed his right hand on the wall, pulling himself up. Eventually, he climbed up and couldn't help but lie down on the wall to rest.
Tired.
Too tired.
He hadn't rested much before, and now, he had climbed up the two-hundred-zhang-high wall. Now, he was exhausted.
However, thanks to this special space, he hadn't felt so tired in a long time. His entire body had been overdrawn. Now, not only were his arms and legs trembling, even his body and teeth were chattering.
This time, Lu An laid on the wall for fifteen minutes before he sat up. He got up from the ground and walked to the other side of the wall.
When Lu An stood on the wall and looked at the inside of the palace, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This palace was well built. Not only that, but the level of delicacy wasn't something the outside could compare to. Every part of the palace was carefully carved. This level of delicacy was rare even in the Eight Ancient Continents. It could be described as a work of art that surpassed nature.
There were many palaces on the wall, but the most eye-catching one was no doubt the main hall in the center of the palace. This palace was octagonal, and each side corresponded to a main road. Thus, this palace had eight doors. It was the tallest building in the entire city, and its aura was magnificent!
Looking at the main hall, Lu An took a deep breath to calm his breathing. He believed that there was a way to leave this space in this palace.
If Lu An jumped down from the two-hundred-zhang-high wall, he would definitely fall to his death. Luckily, there was a flight of stairs on the inside. Lu An quickly walked down the stairs to the main road, walking toward the main hall.
Among the eight main roads, only Lu An was walking alone. This time, Lu An didn't walk fast. He even slowed down a little. He used walking as a substitute for resting, walking step by step toward the main hall.
This palace was really big. It took Lu An a while to walk to the center. When he stood on the square outside the main hall, he stopped and looked at the main hall in front of him with a serious face.
There were many statues around the main hall. There were eight of them in total. Each statue was engraved with a different pattern. Of the two statues in front of Lu An, one depicted a scene of cultivation or worship, while the other depicted a scene of battle.
For any human race, they had the habit of keeping a record of themselves. Lu An walked in front of the combat statue and carefully observed its contents. The carving was very exquisite, but the power inside left Lu An a little confused. Although it was confirmed that the battle in the statue took place on land, it was impossible to determine the nature of the power from the shape of the power and the reaction of the ground.
However, Lu An did not look at it for too long. Compared to his curiosity about this race, he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. He wanted to leave the ocean and see the light of day again. Thus, he raised his head to look at the main hall above and walked up without hesitation.
Tap.
Lu An stepped lightly on the steps and walked up step by step. There were a total of eighty steps, and the height of the steps was not low. However, Lu An soon reached the top of the steps.
Finally, the Central Great Hall appeared in front of Lu An. Lu An raised his head to look at the plaque of the palace. On it was written in a language that he did not understand.
The door of the main hall was tightly shut. Lu An's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation he walked forward. When he reached the door, he raised both hands and pushed the huge door with all his strength!
Creak — —
The door of the palace was not locked. Under Lu An's full strength, it was finally pushed open slowly!
Hu — —
A gust of wind rushed out from the main hall, whistling past Lu An's ears. Lu An subconsciously lowered his head and closed his eyes. Fortunately, the wind did not last long and soon disappeared.
Lu An raised his head, opened his eyes and looked at the interior of the Central Great Hall.
The layout of the main hall was very simple. In the middle was a high platform, and on the high platform was a high throne. Around the high platform were eight passageways, corresponding to the eight doors. Between each passageway and door was a long path. At this moment, there was one in front of Lu An.
In addition, the entire palace was supported by eight pillars. These pillars were clean and did not have any carvings.
Without a doubt, Lu An's line of sight fell directly on the high platform and the throne. He immediately moved towards the throne. His footsteps on the long carpet did not make any sound.
Soon he reached the outside of the high platform and walked down the steps. But there was still a height of one zhang from here to the throne. This was a conical platform without steps. Fortunately, it was not very high. Lu An rushed up with all his strength. Although it was very smooth, but his hands still managed to grab the edge of the top.
Using both arms, Lu An used a lot of strength to finally bring his upper body to the top. Then his entire body came up. He panted slightly, stood up and looked at the throne in front of him.
This throne was only big enough for one person to sit on. It was black in color and exquisitely carved. But there was nothing special about it. Lu An searched for a mechanism on the throne and the dome, but did not find anything that could be triggered.
Could it be that the Central Great Hall was just a cover?
Lu An's eyebrows gradually tightened. If that was the case, then it would be too difficult to find a way out of this city. If the mechanism was really hidden in a certain house, Lu An would search one house after another. Perhaps he would only find despair.
Lu An frowned, once again looking at the throne. Right now, he could only pray to this throne.
If he sat on the throne, would he trigger any mechanism?
It was impossible to guess, and there was no point in thinking too much about it. Lu An decided not to think about it. He turned around and sat down on the throne.
Bang!
Lu An sat down, because he used too much strength, his buttocks hurt.
However, nothing happened.
Lu An furrowed his brows. This time, he lifted his feet, but there was still no change.
Sitting cross legged, lying down, closing his eyes, and finally even standing upside down on the throne, there was no reaction. After trying all possibilities, Lu An could only stand up.
Looking at the throne again, Lu An's expression was gloomy, his eyebrows tightly knitted. If this was the case, this Central Great Hall was basically useless. He might really have to go out to the city to find a mechanism!
Lu An had always been calm, but that did not mean he did not have a temper. Especially now that he was worried about many things, he did not want to be trapped in this kind of baffling place.
Bang!
Lu An was so annoyed that he directly kicked the throne. Turning his head, he walked down the high platform with a heavy heart.
Just in case, Lu An even searched the entire high platform, and even searched around the eight pillars for a long time. But there was nothing that could possibly be a mechanism. Helpless, Lu An could only give up, and prepared to leave the palace.
Tap.
Tap … … tap … …
Lu An's footsteps could be heard clearly without the long carpet. In the completely silent palace, it was extremely abrupt. Finally, Lu An walked back to the long carpet, and once again stood in front of the palace door. Lifting his left leg, he prepared to leave.
"You're leaving just like that?"
A sudden voice sounded, instantly sending a chill down Lu An's spine. His left leg stopped in mid-air, and his entire body was rooted to the ground, not moving an inch!
Was this a hallucination?
This enormous Central Great Hall still echoed in Lu An's ears, reminding him that this was not a hallucination!
Lu An's body tensed up, he immediately turned around to look at the source of the sound!
Only to see on the central platform, on the originally empty throne, there was actually a man sitting on it, staring at him with a pair of eyes!
What made Lu An even more dumbstruck was, the pupils of this pair of eyes were actually pink in colour!
