#648 - The Palace of All Laws

Lan Lan carried Jun Wu Xie and Ling Qingyu, galloping across the vast expanse of heaven and earth.

It possessed a special ability, a keen sense of areas with dense Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, just like its perception of danger.

Jun Wu Xie tried to contact Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, and Mu Yunxi using the Starry Sky Rune Communicator, but there was no response.

The communicator was ineffective in this world; all the rune numbers inside were dim, and the rune network was disconnected.

He tried repeatedly, but the result remained the same, and he couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed impossible to contact them, and the chances of encountering them in this vast territory were extremely slim.

Apart from Ji Yinlan, he was a little worried about the others.

Ji Yinlan was very strong; he couldn't see through the intensity of her talent growth, as if shrouded in mist, possibly due to the special ability brought by her previous life's Dao fruit.

But he could sense that her talent growth intensity didn't seem to be lower than his, being at the same level.

However, if they really had to fight, he believed he should be stronger, after all, he had the perverted sublimation technique like the Primordial Disassembly, and due to cultivating the physical body, he also had super-strong and longer combat endurance.

Now he also possessed the Heart of Chaos and cultivated the Taiji Star Sea, equivalent to having an eternally present minor sublimation technique.

But one thing was that Ji Yinlan had awakened her previous life and knew too much; besides her own cultivation, she probably had other means to deal with various situations.

Yan Qingcheng and Mu Yunxi were different, as were Yan Ruyu and Xu Yanning and others.

"Don't bother trying; this abandoned continent comes from our Upper Realm, and your Lower Realm's Starry Sky Rune Communicator cannot be used here."

Ling Qingyu couldn't help but want to laugh as she watched him fiddling with the communicator.

Jun Wu Xie sighed, unable to contact them, wondering how they were doing now.

"Who are they, your confidantes?"

"More or less."

Jun Wu Xie replied casually.

Ling Qingyu said blandly, "It does fit your reputation as a scoundrel; your mind is full of women."

Jun Wu Xie teased, "Aren't you also a woman? Or should I stay far away from women right now and leave you here?"

"You dare…"

Ling Qingyu was obviously lacking confidence. After being in contact with him for so long, she still understood his character somewhat. She didn't know if he was amenable to soft approaches, but he definitely wouldn't respond to hard ones. If she really went head-to-head with him, this scoundrel might really do something like that.

She told herself in her heart not to argue with him. She was currently injured, so she would endure it and bully him back when her injuries healed.

…

Lan Lan ran for several days, not knowing how far it ran, traversing countless mountains and plains, and crossing rivers and seas.

On this day, the scene at the end of the sky attracted the attention of Jun Wu Xie and Ling Qingyu.

Due to the distance being too far, they could only vaguely make out that it was a vast mountain range.

In the central area of that mountain range, there was an aura of mist rising up, forming magnificent colored auspicious clouds in the sky.

Above the mountains below, auspicious colors swirled, like a fairyland.

"Auspicious Qi soaring to the sky, that's the phenomenon formed when a supreme treasure appears in the world!"

Ling Qingyu was somewhat shocked. What kind of supreme treasure could have such an astonishing scene? It was unbelievable to be able to see such auspicious clouds from a distant location.

"Lan Lan, go and see what's going on."

Jun Wu Xie gave the order, and Lan Lan went straight towards that area.

Before long, they entered the mountain range and arrived at the core area of the mountain range.

Here, there was a huge lake, with no end in sight.

In the middle of the lake, there was a very vast island, but the vegetation on it was not very lush, and the trees were relatively short compared to other areas.

In the middle of that island, there was an ancient palace, filled with a rich aura of mist, as if a peerless treasure inside had been released from its seal, releasing its unique treasure aura.

"What kind of supreme treasure can still emit such a radiant and precious aura even under the isolation of the palace?"

Jun Wu Xie vaguely felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"I can't imagine it either. When I used to train and compete for opportunities outside, I saw many unusual phenomena when supreme treasures were unearthed, but such a magnificent scene is a first for me…"

Ling Qingyu said that she also found it difficult to understand.

Jun Wu Xie activated his Primordial True Eye to carefully observe the palace.

It was very ancient, but very majestic and grand, with vines crawling all over the palace walls, covered with moss, engraving the vicissitudes of time, with an unknown amount of history.

The gate of the palace was open, but it was deep and dark inside, and it was impossible to see what the scene was like. Even his pupil technique could not see the picture inside the palace gate.

The steps in front of the palace gate were covered with moss, and many footprints were left on them. They looked relatively fresh, and at a glance, it could be seen that many people had stepped on the steps and entered inside recently.

"It seems that many cultivators who entered from your Lower Realm have gone to that palace. There are only footprints going in, and no footprints coming out. They should not have obtained the most core thing inside yet."

Ling Qingyu also saw the situation there clearly and made such an analysis.

"Little lass, don't you feel that something is a little strange?"

For some reason, Jun Wu Xie always had a strange feeling in his heart.

"It's a little…"

Ling Qingyu agreed with his feeling, but couldn't say what it was.

"It seems that some of my friends may have entered that palace. I have to go and see."

Jun Wu Xie didn't hesitate any longer and signaled Lan Lan to land on the island.

If even one of Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, Yan Ruyu, Xu Yanning, and those geniuses who wanted to follow him were inside, he had to go in and find out to ensure their safety before he could rest assured.

Lan Lan walked on the surface of the lake and quickly landed on the island, rushing towards the center of the island and arriving in front of the ancient palace.

After observing it up close for a moment, Jun Wu Xie did not feel any dangerous aura.

Lan Lan was also very calm, and the fur on its neck did not bristle.

So, they walked towards the opened palace gate.

It was like a dark abyss, like the open mouth of a giant beast.

Passing through the dark gate, the scene inside came into view, and it was not the darkness seen from the outside.

It was just a hall filled with an ancient aura.

The hall was very empty. On the deepest hall wall were depicted blurry pictures. Perhaps because the era was too long, the weathering was very severe, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.

In front of the murals, there was a statue, sitting cross-legged on the stone platform under the murals, with a scholarly attitude and a sense of majesty.

The statue was made of some kind of clay, and some of the colored ink painted on it had severely fallen off.

The statue's hands were placed on its knees, and its eyes were level. On its legs was a clay book, a full half a foot thick.

Jun Wu Xie's gaze moved to the right along the clay statue. There was a stone railing built in the corner of the hall, surrounded on three sides, with one side missing. It was a rectangular hole, and a stone staircase went down along the hole, and it was very dark inside and nothing could be seen.

Many words were engraved on the hall wall next to the hole. Although they were somewhat blurred, they could still be seen clearly.

Jun Wu Xie signaled Lan Lan to come forward and couldn't help but glance at the clay statue again.

This glance immediately stunned him.

He seemed to see the statue blink!

Its eyes moved?

But when he looked closely, there was no movement at all, and no matter how his spiritual thoughts sensed it, the statue was still just an ordinary clay statue, without any energy fluctuations, and not a single rune was engraved on it.

"Scoundrel, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Qingyu noticed his abnormal reaction.

"I seemed to see the eyes of the clay statue move just now, but when I looked closely, there was nothing unusual…"

Jun Wu Xie had always been very confident in himself, and he believed in his eyes and judgment very much, but at this moment, he was not sure, and he even wondered if he had seen it wrong.

"No, I have been paying attention to the statue and didn't see its eyes move."

Ling Qingyu said this in a certain tone.

"Perhaps, maybe I saw it wrong."

He shook his head, and when he walked towards the hole, he still couldn't help but look at the statue again.

This glance did not see anything unusual.

…

At the same time, on the top of a certain mountain around the lake.

A young man and a middle-aged man stood under an ancient tree, both looking at the palace on the island.

"I didn't expect that even after half a month, someone would come, and they look quite good."

The young man was wearing gray and white brocade clothes, his dense hair was very flowing, draped in front of his chest and behind his head, his expression was calm, his eyes were very sharp, his appearance was ordinary, but he had a mysterious temperament.

"Young Master, why are you going to so much trouble? The Young Master doesn't take the things inside himself, but wants to attract outsiders. What if they are taken away by them…"

"A group of turtles in a jar, how can there be a what if." The young man turned to look at the middle-aged man, his eyes indifferent: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The middle-aged man met the young man's eyes, and saw the runes flashing in his eyes, and his heart suddenly trembled. An uncontrollable chill rose up, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I dare not."

The young man withdrew his gaze and said: "It is estimated that the cultivators from the outside world have almost arrived. I brought you out to guard the exit of the palace. Before I come out, no one is allowed to enter again, and no one is allowed to come out."

"I will definitely do what the Young Master orders!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly responded.

"The gods should be robbed, a song ends at dusk, it's almost time to harvest…"

The young man muttered to himself, carrying his single hand on his back, crossing the lake, pulling up a long afterimage, landed on the island, and walked unhurriedly towards the central palace.

The wind was whistling on the island, like a song of killing and cutting, adding a trace of肅殺Qi between heaven and earth.

The young man's thick hair danced in the wind as he walked against it, arriving before the palace and standing silently.

In his hand, which hung at his side, was a blood-colored jade flute covered in strands of runes, as if fresh blood were flowing.

The middle-aged man who followed him silently landed beside him, standing respectfully with his head slightly lowered.

… …

At this moment, inside the palace, near the dark entrance, Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu were examining the inscriptions on the palace walls.

These characters were extremely strange, and neither Jun Wuxie nor Ling Qingyu could recognize them, except for four characters that they could understand.

Hall of Myriad Techniques!

These four characters were larger than the others and were written in a script they recognized.

The other characters were like heavenly scriptures, completely unrecognizable. Rather than being characters, they looked more like strange symbols, dense and numerous, but neatly arranged in an orderly fashion.

What does Hall of Myriad Techniques mean?

Is it the name of this palace, or does it contain other information?

He and Ling Qingyu exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

After all, since those symbol-like characters were unidentifiable, they could not obtain more useful information from them.

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

He signaled Lan Lan to descend along the stone steps of the entrance, not knowing where they led.

The dust-covered surroundings were full of footprints, leading to the conclusion that everyone who entered this great hall had gone down from here, since the entire hall only had one entrance.
