"Alas, that's right!"
Xin Xin looked disappointed, "This person isn't a heinous criminal like Venerable Master thinks, nor is he a treacherous person. He shouldn't be tortured like this …"
Xin Xin paused and smiled wryly, "This matter involves my secrets, so forgive me for not being able to speak of it.
My purpose in coming here is to see if this person is here. If he is, I want to see if I can rescue him … That's all!
As for the immortal artifact, heh heh, I'm only at the fourth grade of origin energy. I'm afraid I can't take it for myself, right? "
Xin Xin glared fiercely at Xiao Hua and continued, "That's what I wanted to say. If some people aren't satisfied and don't wish to enter the Profound Water Palace, I won't force them.
However, if he wanted to leave this ancient formation, the only way out was inside the Blackwater Palace.
Of course, if anyone thinks they're strong enough to break the ancient formation, feel free to use your cultivation. I'll wait and see. "
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Xin Xin roll her eyes.
"Ahem ahem …" Ci Hui coughed twice, smiled and persuaded, "Junior Brother Ti Pu, in this little monk's opinion, what Xin Tanyue said is right, at this time, they have been honest with each other, she did not hide anything.
Think about it, if she didn't want to say anything and only said that the exit was within the Profound Water Palace, I'm sure junior brother would have to enter based on that alone, right?
Why would she make up more lies? "
"Mm, that's true!" Xiao Hua nodded. He also felt that Xin Xin's words were true since she'd been forced to this point.
"Since that's the case, why don't you help her?"
Ci Hui felt that Xiao Hua's Buddhist abilities might surpass hers, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Junior brother, don't tell me you don't know this?"
"Isn't she still alive?" Xiao Hua curled his lips.
"Haha, it'll be too late if she's dead!"
Gu Zhen laughed, "Xin Tanyue said that there might be a Buddhist treasure within the ancient formation, and even an ancient Buddhist lustre. It must be in the Profound Water Palace, right?"
Xin Xin was about to stomp her feet when she heard Xiao Hua's words. However, she could only reply, "If Mo Yuntong's records are correct, it should be in the Profound Water Palace. However, I don't know the exact location."
"Look, little monk, come with us!
You'll benefit from it as well, "said Gu Zhen.
Xiao Hua thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Benefactress, you just said that you only want to see if there is anyone suppressed under the immortal artifact. Presumably, you have also prepared a method to rescue that person."
"Yes, this one has indeed made some preparations!" Xin Xin didn't hide anything and spoke the truth.
"It's special. You don't plan on taking that immortal artifact either!" Xiao Hua immediately asked.
"What?
Junior apprentice-brother Ti Pu, you … you want to take that immortal artifact? "Ci Hui was shocked." What if the immortal artifact is used to suppress powerful demonic beasts?
Aren't you helping the evildoer? "
"Hehe, what if the Demonic Beast is not suppressed?
What if this Profound Water Palace is only used to suppress the immortal artifact? "Xiao Hua said with a smile," Can this little monk try to subdue this immortal artifact? "
Xin Xin coldly looked at Xiao Hua and asked curiously, "You're just a little monk from a Buddhist sect. What do you want this immortal artifact for?
Even if you can subdue it, will you be able to use it? "
"I'm willing!
If I can't use it … can't I give it to someone else?
Even if I can't give it to someone else, can't I hang it in my meditation room and look at it myself? "Xiao Hua's neck stiffened as he retorted sarcastically.
"Greed, oh greed!"
Ci Hui lectured Xiao Hua, "You just reminded Ancestor Gu Zhen. Now, you're the one who's making the mistake!"
"Forget it, forget it. This little monk was just saying!
There's no need to mention it! "
Xiao Hua waved his hand. He also felt that he was being delusional. An immortal artifact was definitely not a spiritual artifact or spiritual treasure. It had long surpassed the scope of his control.
"Since that's the case, little monk, you've said so much. Has your psychokinesis recovered?
Can we proceed forward? "Xin Xin asked Xiao Hua in a bad mood.
Xiao Hua shrugged and smiled, "This little monk has more or less recovered. I wonder how senior brother Ci Hui and Grandmaster Gu Zhen are doing?"
Ci Hui didn't use much psychokinesis. She nodded slightly and looked at Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen nodded as well, "This old monk has rested enough. We can enter the Mysterious Water Palace."
Xin Xin heard this and said, "We have the Invisible Leaf on us. The ancient beast can't see us.
Of course, we can't use any psychokinesis or magic power. We only need to fly to within a hundred feet of the palace and walk through the palace gates.
Once we enter the palace, the ancient beast will ignore us even if we overturn the heavens. "
"Alright, we'll do as Xin Tanyue says."
Gu Zhen nodded, "We'll fly to within a hundred feet of the palace. This old monk will go first, followed by Xin Tanyue. Ci Hui and Ti Pu will bring up the rear as usual."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Gu Zhen took the lead. When he was within a hundred feet of the palace, he landed early and silently made his way to the palace.
Xiao Hua followed Ci Hui and descended from the cloud. His feet stepped on the smooth surface of the mirror. The surface of the mirror looked smooth, but his feet were soft. It was as if he was stepping on water plants. There was no need to be too careful because there was no sound at all.
Xiao Hua looked down and released his soulsense. He couldn't see anything strange about the mirror. It was like a wall, blocking his soulsense and preventing him from seeing what was going on inside.
"Strange." Xiao Hua didn't understand. "The Mysterious Water Palace might be difficult to enter, but in front of it … if one has the strength of a fifth or sixth stage cultivator, or some special divine ability, it's not impossible to enter.
If a female disciple from a scholarly family like Xin Xin can come, others can as well.
Why didn't they leave any traces behind?
Even if they don't have a small Qiankun Pouch, it's normal to leave some bones behind, right?
Were they all eaten by the Mysterious Water Beasts? "
Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He turned to look at the Mysterious Water Palace a hundred feet away.
Perhaps it was because of the distance, or perhaps it was because of the Mysterious Water Palace's devilish light, Xiao Hua only felt that the triangular shape of the palace was very strange. But now that he was closer, the light on the palace's surface dimmed, revealing the Mysterious Water Palace's true appearance.
Rather than calling the Mysterious Water Palace a palace, it was more accurate to say that it was a building made up of four triangles.
The huge triangular structure towered in front of everyone's eyes with sharp edges and corners. It was very different from the smooth and flat palaces they usually saw.
On the other side of the triangular structure, there were layers of protrusions in a very regular pattern. These protrusions were like window frames, but also like doors. They were strung together like some sort of rune, but they didn't give off any fluctuations of spiritual energy.
The only thing that did give off fluctuations was the faint, watery light that flowed over the protrusions. The light was made up of very strange runes, like flowing water that constantly flowed between the protrusions.
The dazzling light was also emitted by the flowing runes.
Xiao Hua looked at the strands of spiritual energy that flowed with the runes and gathered from the space, creating extremely orderly and rhythmic fluctuations of spiritual energy. He fell into deep thought.
He had seen many formations and many spiritual energy fluctuations, but the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Mysterious Water Palace gave him a strange feeling!
Of course, these fluctuations were undoubtedly from the Dao Sect's formations. Although the runes on the Mysterious Water Palace were obscure and extremely simple, Xiao Hua could still see traces of the Dao Sect's talismans. However, the seemingly smooth flow of runes made Xiao Hua feel as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. It was just like when he overused his Dharma Eye in the vein of space that day!
"Could it be that this ancient formation is different from the one now?"
Xiao Hua frowned and pondered as he walked. At that moment, an extremely loud rumble resounded in the space, and the huge Mysterious Water Palace actually began to slowly rotate.
As the Mysterious Water Palace rotated, the orderly protrusions on the triangular structure on the side of the Mysterious Water Palace slowly opened. Balls of emerald light flew out from the protrusions and immediately transformed into strange runes. Thousands of runes gathered together and emitted a buzzing sound. A huge suction force was generated from the runes and rushed towards the walls of the space.
"Puff puff puff …" The suction force landed on the mirror-like walls of water, creating huge whirlpools that were extremely similar to the whirlpools on the Nightmare Reef.
At the same time, gusts of wind were generated from the whirlpools. A huge amount of spiritual energy rushed out from the whirlpools and fell on the triangular structure of the Mysterious Water Palace.
"Oh no!"
Xiao Hua and the others were alarmed. The change in the Mysterious Water Palace had come too suddenly. The four of them had no time to react, especially now that they were within 855 meters of the Mysterious Water Palace. If what Xin Xin said was true, then any spell or Buddhist ability would attract the attention of the Mysterious Water Ancient Beast. Although Xiao Hua and the others had yet to see the Mysterious Water Ancient Beast and didn't know when it would appear, if they used any ability to resist this change, it would definitely attract the attention of the Mysterious Water Ancient Beast.
But what if they didn't use their ability to resist?
The wind was so bitingly cold and even stronger. Xiao Hua's body might be able to withstand it, but Xin Xin and the others definitely couldn't!
What should they do?
"Benefactor Xin ~" Xiao Hua called out almost without hesitation, "How about we just charge into the Mysterious Water Palace with the wind?"
Xin Xin's face was pale. She almost cried out, "Please don't do that!
Mo Yuntong clearly said that the Profound Water Palace is the core of the ancient formation and has the most powerful restrictions. The entrance to the Profound Water Palace is the only safe way to enter. If you try to enter from any other place, you'll die!! "
"Roar …" At this moment, a deafening roar came from the direction of the Mysterious Water Palace!
"Mysterious … Mysterious Water Ancient Beast!"
Everyone who was trying their best to maintain their balance turned ghastly pale. Wasn't this the perfect time to say that blessings don't come in pairs and misfortunes don't come singly?
