BXBX NOVEL Book 2: Chapter 20: Dragon Palace
Jiang Wang squatted down and pressed a ball of flame into the ground.
Silently, the violent flame burned a hole the size of a human head in the ground.
Jiang Wang stared at the position of the hole and began to walk backwards.
He confirmed that he was indeed moving, as the position of the hole became farther and smaller in his line of sight.
Suddenly, he was certain that he didn\'t blink, but the hole disappeared!
Jiang Wang took a few steps back to his original position. The grass on the riverbank was as lush as ever, as if there had never been a hole.
"What is going on? Could this really be an illusion? Is it a higher-level illusion that can be entered with a physical body, different from the Illusory Void?"
"No, if the physical body can enter and experience everything, then it no longer belongs to an illusion, but is almost equivalent to creating a world. This possibility is too small.""First, confirm that the physical body did enter here, which is proven by the strong ones who waited outside the Moon Gate for their own disciples. The cultivators who couldn\'t walk out of the Moon Gate in previous years are also evidence."
Jiang Wang pondered, while sensing the Moon Key in his palm, trying to enter the Illusory Void here.
The sensing was ineffective.
In the Tianfu Secret Realm, the Illusory Void cannot be sensed.
This place isolates many things, including those strange artifacts and the Taiyin Star Power.
Of course, this does not mean that the Tianfu Secret Realm is of a higher level than the Illusory Void.
Jiang Wang turned his head and looked at the small river.
The river was clear, and the water grass and swimming fish were clearly visible.
As a result, most people would focus their doubts and vigilance on the dense forest and distant mountains, subconsciously ignoring the river itself.
Jiang Wang had already tested the river with his Dao technique by condensing a stone, but there was no abnormality as the water moved and the fish scattered.
But now, after careful consideration, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
He manipulated his Dao technique, and two vine snakes rushed into the water, trying to catch a fish.
The fish was startled and swam away.
Jiang Wang controlled the speed of the vine snakes to the limit, but the fish swam even faster! It was like a silver thread in the water, swiftly moving left and right.
How could an ordinary fish have such speed?
And if it wasn\'t an ordinary fish, why was it startled by the stone before?
Jiang Wang suddenly understood the problem, without any hesitation, he stepped into the river.
Before the intersection with the moon in the sky, the Moon Gate was already in the Full Moon Pool.
This was the most obvious hint, the gate was in the water!
...
The same small river, the same riverbank.
Li Longchuan stood on the bank but did not move.
He opened his arms and made a gesture of pulling a bow. An arrow suddenly shot out and stopped in mid-air.
Li Longchuan was not in a hurry. He waited quietly for a while before releasing the bowstring.
The arrow shot straight into the river.
Without even looking elsewhere, Li Longchuan walked directly into the river.
...
Xu Xiangqian was the first to encounter this scene.
But he was used to being casual, and the first thing he thought about was not how to find opportunities, but...
"Let\'s grill some fish to eat!"
He looked at the fish in the small river, his eyes shining, shaking his head.
"Fish, that\'s what I want; bear paw, that\'s what I want too. The two cannot be obtained at the same time, the methods are different. Stewed bear paw, steamed fatty fish, they can\'t be mixed!"
"Come on then!"
He reached out his hand, cultivating a righteous aura, and a white gas-like giant hand reached into the river.
"Steaming, that\'s what I want; grilling, that\'s what I want too. The two cannot be obtained at the same time. As the Master said, look for the most convenient way!"
He recited the classics incoherently, but the giant hand formed by the righteous aura remained steady, searching left and right in the water.
However, the fish was more agile and always escaped before being caught.
"Hey, I don\'t believe it!"
Xu Xiangqian rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the water.
...
The fifty people who entered the Tianfu Secret Realm each displayed their own methods.
Some walked along the riverbank and never found any problems.
Some went to the other side of the river and ran towards the distant mountains.
Some directly entered the dense forest.
None of them came back.
Because the only path to avoid fighting in the initial stage was to step into the river.
The dangers in the distant mountains and dense forest exceeded the resistance capabilities of these people.
The only exception was Wang Yiwu. He entered the Tianfu Secret Realm and naturally marked Zhong Xuan Sheng with military secret techniques in advance.
But the direction guided by the secret technique was in the distant mountains on the other side of the riverbank.
He didn\'t have the slightest hesitation and directly crossed the riverbank and headed towards the distant mountains.
He didn\'t need to think because it was unnecessary.
Since someone had survived and left the Tianfu Secret Realm before, he would definitely be able to survive and leave as well.
Because in the Tongtian Realm, Jiang Mengxiong, the Great Qi Military God, had said that he was the strongest in the world!
He walked into the distant mountains,
And the distant mountains roared.
...
Gao Jing stepped into the water, but he couldn\'t feel the water even though it was clearly water.He walked into the water, deeper and deeper.
The water engulfed him. He could clearly hear the sound of flowing water and feel the moisture, but the water did not touch him.
A white jade staircase appeared under his feet at some point.
The white jade steps extended downwards, with no end in sight.
Gao Jing calmed his mind and moved forward. Although being separated from his family companions was somewhat unexpected, he was, after all, from the Gao family of the Tranquil Sea, with both strength and experience, and would not be at a loss.
Moving forward now meant moving downward.
His footsteps on the jade steps were almost silent.
He was on full alert, but his feet did not stop.
Time passed slowly underwater. Without any reference points, he could only count his steps in his mind.
After walking about nine miles, he took a step and the jade steps came to an end.
In front of him was a long corridor.
The corridor was inlaid with gold and jade, carved into a long scroll. He couldn\'t make out the specific story, but he could roughly see that it was a group of ancient nobles feasting.
On both sides of the corridor, blood corals half a man\'s height were lined up.
Each blood coral was unique in shape.
Looking ahead, everything suddenly opened up!
Behind the tall red jade archway was a palace that could not be described in words.
The Gao family of the Tranquil Sea was famously wealthy. Their estates were more luxurious than the last, filled with all the world\'s treasures. The finest goods from all nations were displayed everywhere.
However, at this moment, Gao Jing felt that those houses were not even comparable to a thatched hut.
The palace in front of him had even its bricks and tiles carved from crystal, occasionally adorned with pearls.
These were nothing to Gao Jing.
However, he recognized that the beams of the palace were made of Moon-washing Nanmu.
This wood was snow-white and was an excellent material for crafting long spear artifacts. A single spear shaft was worth a fortune.
This palace used this wood for its beams.
Upon closer inspection, those self-luminous objects were not ordinary pearls. Each one had a smoky mist inside, clearly they were Smoke Pearls. Also a top-notch material for artifacts.
Just what he recognized alone left him in awe, let alone those he couldn\'t recognize.
This palace was filled with thousands of radiant lights and auspicious qi, completely unlike anything from the mortal world.
It took a great deal of willpower for him to regain his composure and shift his gaze back to the red jade archway in front of the palace.
On the archway was written—
Heavenly Mansion Dragon Palace!
