"Tsk tsk … if they weren't poisoned to death, why don't you tell us why the ancient beast stopped attacking?" Xiao Hua smacked his lips as he chuckled at Xin Xin.
Xin Xin didn't back down. "I can't see the outside, and I can't release my consciousness either. How would I know?
You're the one who controls the innate primordial water, so why don't you tell us why the ancient beast stopped attacking? "
"Nonsense, would I not tell you if I knew?" Xiao Hua scoffed at Xin Xin's argument. "I can't see anything just like you!"
"Ah!!
So you can't see either! "Xin Xin closed her eyes, almost covering her mouth to hide her laughter.
However, after a few chuckles, Xin Xin asked anxiously, "Little monk, is the Ancient Beast Xuanshui gone or not?
I'm afraid we don't have enough time! "
"Benefactress, you're a classic example of someone who values money over life!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but laugh. "Even if you want to find someone, you have to protect your own life first!"
"Ai," Xin Xin sighed. "The only way out is inside the Profound Water Palace. If we want to save our lives, we have to go inside.
As the saying goes, we have to go in whether we're alive or dead! "
"Damn it, that's right!"
Xiao Hua was nervous at Xin Xin's grim tone. He waited for another pipe of smoke before secretly opening a crack in the innate primordial water and releasing his soulsense. "Eh?
The ancient beast … really is gone. The Profound Water Palace has returned to how it was before! "
Xiao Hua was stunned, but he didn't dare to let his guard down. He expanded his soulsense to scan the area, and then opened up a bigger crack. He peeked through the crack with his naked eye, and when he saw that everything had returned to normal, Xiao Hua withdrew the Innate Primordial Water, and said in a low voice, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."
When Xin Xin and the others opened their eyes, they saw that the palace was exactly the same as before. The enormous Profound Water Palace was still in its inverted triangular shape. As for whether or not it was the same as the one they saw before, no one knew!
"Little monk ~" Xin Xin bit her lips and whispered, "Thank you!"
"Shh …" Xiao Hua whispered back. "Don't say it now, or I'll be cocky.
If the ancient beast sees us, we'll be in trouble! "
Xin Xin paused, then covered her mouth. Her face was a little red, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare. It was difficult to hold it in.
Ci Hui looked helplessly at the two. "Xin Yanyue, let's talk inside the palace first!"
Xin Xin covered her mouth and led the way. After walking for several dozen meters, she turned back and whispered, "That Profound Water Ancient Beast is right in front of the Profound Water Palace's entrance. Normally, it won't be more than thirty meters away from the entrance. Now that we're here, we can't speak or use any Telekinesis. Otherwise, we'll attract the beast's attention."
As she spoke, Xin Xin took a look at the Golden Leaf of Canaan that was stuck to her body. After testing it a little, she felt relieved and tiptoed forward.
"t't't, the ancient beast the ancient beast is it the gate.."
Xiao Hua was stunned. He couldn't help but look below the Profound Water Palace. After all, Xiao Hua had already checked the surroundings. He didn't seem to have seen any ancient beast.
However, when he deliberately glanced at the bottom of the palace, sure enough, there were two statues that were almost the same color as the palace at the nail-like location!
"So these are the ancient beasts that attacked the Innate Primordial Water!"
Xiao Hua stared straight at the motionless statues for a moment, thinking in his heart, "They … weren't they abnormally fierce just now?
Why are they standing there now?
Why do they look like dead statues? "
"Sigh, that's right!
The Profound Water Palace is so huge, and the ancient beasts are so small and motionless. Who knows if they're Profound Water Beasts! "
At this moment, the Profound Water Beasts really stood there like clay statues. Their eyes, which were as bright as stars, were abnormally dim. There was no light at all.
However, Xiao Hua and the others only glanced at the beasts. They didn't dare to meet their eyes. They even gradually approached the Profound Water Palace. Looking at the two beasts that looked exactly like the statues in front of the temple, they couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.
Yes, if they hadn't heard the Profound Water Beasts' roar earlier, if they hadn't experienced Xiao Hua using his Innate Primordial Water to resist them with his Innate Primordial Water, and if they didn't have the records of Profound Water Beasts in the Ink Cloud Pupil, they would never have thought that these two lifeless statues were real ancient beasts!
Suppressing the indescribable fear in his heart, Xiao Hua raised his head and looked at the Profound Water Palace that was even more oppressive than a mountain. Under the huge inverted triangle was a pillar that was dozens of meters tall.
A pillar that was dozens of meters tall would be considered huge if it were anywhere else. However, under the Profound Water Palace, it seemed so thin and fragile. A chill appeared in the eyes of the others. They were really afraid that the inverted triangle would suddenly fall on them and smash them into meat paste.
After a few more meters, the four would be close to the Profound Water Beasts. At the front, Xin Xin couldn't help but stop slightly. The two Profound Water Beasts stood there and looked forward calmly. The distance between them wasn't small, at least dozens of meters. However, in Xin Xin's eyes … this distance was as narrow as the pillar under the Profound Water Palace!
An indescribable aura spread out in front of the Profound Water Palace. Perhaps it was the residual power of the Profound Water Beasts, or perhaps it was the formation's restriction after the Profound Water Palace absorbed the energy of heaven and earth. In any case, the aura made it difficult for Xin Xin to breathe.
In the face of such a scene, Xin Xin was secretly regretting in her heart. She felt that she had underestimated this ancient formation.
However, this regret only lasted for a moment. A wave of stubbornness rose from the bottom of her heart. Hmph, this place is so dangerous. You … you actually imprisoned … me here.
Since you're so heartless, then … I don't need to think anymore!
With this thought, Xin Xin's trembling legs became firm. Step by step, she walked past the Profound Water Beasts and arrived in front of the Profound Water Palace's pillar.
Fortunately, Xin Xin's actions didn't attract the Profound Water Beasts' attention. They remained motionless and didn't even release a trace of their Innate Spirit.
Seeing that Xin Xin didn't attract the Profound Water Beasts' attention, Gu Zhen and the others calmed down and followed her to the pillar. "Hehe … this Profound Water Palace is so strange!"
Xiao Hua walked past the Blackwater Ancient Beast and unconsciously looked back at the Blackwater Ancient Beast's folded wings and the coiled tail on the ground. He thought to himself, "Are these the two Blackwater Ancient Beasts from just now?
Why don't I look at them?
If they were living things, then I'd be fine with them standing there like statues. But why are their tails coiled up in the same way?
That's not possible, is it? "
Xiao Hua probed with his soulsense and carefully scanned the Profound Water Beast's tail on the left a few times. Before Xiao Hua could use his soulsense to check out the rest of the Profound Water Beast's tail, Xin Xin stopped again.
Xiao Hua didn't have time to check the Xuanshui Ancient Beasts. He turned his head and saw Xin Xin raise her hand and take out four blue beads from the sleeve of her palace dress. She waved her hand and the four beads silently stuck to the pillar. Then, Xin Xin looked back at the two Xuanshui Ancient Beasts with lingering fear. She opened her mouth and four golden streams of Zhen Qi hit the four beads at the same time like four flying swords.
"Shua … …" The four pearls simultaneously emitted a blue ripple of brilliance. This brilliance overflowed several times above the pillar, and the pillar also produced a blue brilliance. At the same time, this blue brilliance also swayed along with the brilliance of the pearls, just like layers upon layers of water ripples.
When she saw the ripples appear, Xin Xin took a few steps forward and reached her hand into the ripples. Her fair and soft hand sank into the ripples. As Xin Xin lifted her hand, it was as if she had lifted a bead curtain. A gap appeared in the pillar, and Xin Xin walked in without hesitation.
Halfway through, Xin Xin even turned back to look at the three of them and indicated for them to follow.
Xiao Hua and the others didn't dare delay. One by one, they lifted their hands and flashed into the gap.
Once the four of them were inside, the four beads remained embedded in the pillar. Ripples of blue light flowed through the beads. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the light slowly dimmed and disappeared. Finally, the beads disappeared into the pillar.
There was no longer any movement outside the Profound Water Palace. The two Profound Water Beasts stood there for tens of thousands of years. It was as if the entire space had returned to normal.
However, this calmness only lasted for a few breaths of time. The beast that Xiao Hua had just scanned with his soulsense moved its tail first, trembling slightly. This trembling then spread throughout its entire body. Following that, the beast's four hooves moved, the beast's head moved, and finally, its lifeless eyes moved.
The Black Water Ancient Beast looked around in confusion. It then glanced at the other Black Water Ancient Beast on the right that was standing still. After which, it spread its wings and turned into a blue light that flew a few rounds outside the Black Water Palace. When it did not discover anything, it pushed off the ground and charged into the sky as if it was flat ground. Its body landed on a protruding part of the inverted triangle.
The Profound Water Beast opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blue light onto the protrusion. With a "crack", the protrusion floated into the air. The Profound Water Beast didn't even look back as it charged into the gap below the protrusion. When the Profound Water Beast disappeared, the protrusion fell back down. In a flash of light, the inverted triangle returned to its original state.
The Profound Water Beast entered the Profound Water Palace. Xiao Hua and the others were unaware of the danger that was about to befall them. Xiao Hua stood dumbly in front of the Profound Water Palace's doors as he looked at the scene in front of him. His heart was filled with disbelief.
