In front of Zhuowen, the white crystal emitted a white light, like a guiding light in the dark.Through the white light, Zhuo Wen's attention fell on the surroundings of the main hall. He discovered that the walls around the main hall were entwined with countless black veins. They were like vines that crawled all over the walls.Looking at the countless black veins around him, Zhuo Wen's eyes were filled with fear. He was not unfamiliar with these black veins. When Cangjie first appeared in front of him, the surface of the hall he was in was also surrounded by these strange black veins.It seemed that this was the place where Cangjie was trapped. Zhuowen was worried that he could not find Cangjie in these ten days.Even if he found Cangjie, he was not sure whether he could save Cangjie. After all, when he saw Cangjie, Cangjie was not in good condition."I don't know where Cangjie is trapped in this hall."Zhuowen looked around and found that there were many doors around the hall. These doors were simple in shape and looked exactly the same. It was difficult to tell which one was the real one.Whoosh!Suddenly, the white crystal emitting white light in front of Zhuowen turned into a white shadow and rushed toward the door in front of it. It was so fast that it almost turned into a shadow.Zhuowen raised his eyebrows. The white crystal belonged to Cangjie. Since it chose the door in front of him, there must be a reason.Thinking of this, Zhuowen kicked with his right foot and followed the white crystal.Whoosh! Whoosh!However, when Zhuowen arrived at the door in front of him, countless black veins rushed toward Zhuowen like creepers, as if they were trying to stop Zhuowen from entering the hall.Bang! Bang! Bang!When these black veins rushed toward him, the white crystal in front of him suddenly burst out a blazing white light.The white light was like countless sharp blades, flying in all directions. The converging black veins were sliced into pieces wherever the white light blades passed. Black blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the entire ground black.Whoosh!After the black veins were all destroyed, the white crystal was like a hot knife through butter. It instantly blasted open the door and entered the palace. Zhuowen followed closely behind.Then, the white crystal blasted open palace doors one after another, passing through many halls. It was as if there were countless halls in this space.As he went deeper, Zhuowen realized that the black veins around him were getting stronger and bigger. The white blade emitted by the white crystal was obviously having a hard time cutting through the black veins.After breaking through the ninety-ninth palace door, the black veins in front of the hundredth palace door were so thick that they were dozens of feet long. Each black vein was extremely terrifying, and their power was much more terrifying than all the previous black veins combined.Zhuo Wen's expression changed when he saw the black veins in front of the 655th Dao Palace. He felt that the black veins were too dangerous. They were almost as dangerous as the dense black veins in the palace where Cangjie had been.The white crystal buzzed incessantly, seeming to be extremely excited."It seems that Cangjie is behind the 655th palace door?" Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.Whoosh! Whoosh!Whoosh! Suddenly, the black veins that covered the surface of the palace door rushed out. The black veins that were dozens of feet wide were like ferocious black pythons. They stretched out toward Zhuowen, wanting to swallow him whole.Bang! Bang! Bang!At this moment, the white crystal emitted an even more terrifying white light. Then, the white light materialized into sharp white blades that shot out in all directions.Whoosh!Whoosh!Countless white blades slammed into the black veins, cutting out black blood. However, the black veins were too thick. The white blades could not cut through all the black veins. Whoosh! Whoosh!Whoosh! Whoosh!Whoosh! Whoosh! The black veins that were covered in black blood broke through the white blades' attack and rushed toward Zhuowen.Zhuowen's pupils shrank. An extremely strong sense of danger came from his mind. Then, he stomped his right foot and his Dao Will spread out as he retreated rapidly.Unfortunately, when he retreated to the end of the palace door, he found that there was no way out. He had walked into a dead end."I can only fight head-on!"Zhuowen gritted his teeth and flicked his finger. He immediately took out the mysterious scabbard that he had obtained from Zhan Bi's head and threw it forward.Whoosh!The mysterious scabbard was extremely fast. It instantly smashed into the black veins at the front. Then, an extremely vast and terrifying force crushed the black veins into black powder.Moreover, when the black veins at the front were crushed into powder, the black veins that surged from the back exploded into black blood like a domino effect.Looking at the power of the mysterious scabbard, Zhuowen was a little shocked. Although he had used the mysterious scabbard to deal with He Wushang, he knew that the mysterious scabbard was very strong.However, at that time, Zhuowen had only thrown it out casually and did not unleash too much of the mysterious scabbard's power. Now that Zhuowen had the mysterious scabbard for a period of time, he had a general understanding of it.This time, when he used it again, he did not expect the mysterious scabbard to unleash such terrifying power. Whoosh!Whoosh! Whoosh!However, there were quite a number of black veins in front of the hall door. After the mysterious scabbard shattered the remaining black veins, it caused the other black veins to notice Zhuo Wen. Immediately, an even greater number of black veins suddenly rushed out and rushed towards Zhuo Wen.Zhuowen's eyes were solemn. He took the mysterious scabbard with his right hand and threw it out. The mysterious scabbard kept spinning and drew an arc in the air.Bang! Bang! Bang!The black veins in front of him exploded the moment they came into contact with the mysterious scabbard. Black blood splattered all over the palace, causing a terrifying black rain to fall.Zhuo Wen followed behind the mysterious scabbard, taking one step at a time toward the palace door. The white crystal also followed closely behind the mysterious scabbard. Countless white blades were formed, destroying the black veins that were coming at them.Boom!Finally, the mysterious scabbard faced the black rain and smashed heavily in front of the palace door. Then, a terrifying explosion sounded. The entire palace door in front of him exploded and instantly collapsed into dust.Through the dust, Zhuowen saw the scene inside the 655th palace door.It was still a palace, but it was much more ancient than the previous ninety-nine palaces. Inside, one could clearly feel the ruthlessness of time.In the center of the palace, there were candles floating. However, the candles were extremely dim, as if they would be extinguished at any time.With the help of the candles, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and looked at the throne in the deepest part of the palace. A figure sat quietly on the throne.The moment the palace door shattered, the figure on the throne slowly raised his head. His eyes fell on Zhuowen as he said faintly, "You … have come!"Dong!Dong!Dong!The moment Zhuowen stepped through the palace door, he suddenly heard a sound that sounded like a heartbeat. It constantly beat against his eardrums, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily. It was as if his heart was about to jump out of his body.After entering the hall, he discovered that in addition to the countless black veins around the hall, there were also many bulges. These bulges were like hearts, constantly beating. Moreover, in the process of beating, streams of black blood flowed out.Zhuowen stared at the bulges as an ominous feeling rose in his heart. The aura of these bulges gave him a familiar feeling, but he could not be sure."Xiao Hei, is he your master?"Zhuowen was secretly on guard against his surroundings. However, he did not walk into the depths of the palace without permission. Instead, he sent a message to Xiao Hei.Swoosh!Xiao Hei flew out from between Zhuowen's eyebrows. Its gaze fell on the figure on the throne in the depths of the palace. Its breathing was rapid as it said with an excited expression, "Yes, it is my master's aura. However, other than my master's aura, there is another extremely unfamiliar aura on this person."Zhuowen's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared fixedly at the figure on the throne, but did not act rashly."Little fellow, your temperament is not bad. Under such circumstances, you are still able to remain calm and distinguish between truth and falsehood. That is commendable. It is not without reason that Taiyou chose you."The figure on the throne struggled for a while, but found that it was impossible to stand up. It could only give up and look indifferently at Zhuowen and Xiao Hei in front of it."Master, is it you?" Xiao Hei trembled all over and asked in a hoarse voice.The figure on the throne trembled all over, but sighed softly and said, "It is me, and it is not me."With that, the figure looked at Zhuowen and said, "Little fellow, come forward. As long as I am awake, the things in this palace will not do anything to you."Hearing this, Zhuowen frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to go forward and take a look. What the figure said should be true. It should be true that it was Cangjie.When Zhuowen came to the depths of the palace and walked to the front of the throne, his gaze fell on the figure on the throne. Then, his eyes narrowed involuntarily and he gasped.The man sitting on the throne had a withered face, like a mummy. His forehead bone was protruding high, and his eyes were somewhat lifeless.From the outline of the withered man's face, Zhuowen could still see a trace of Cangjie's appearance. However, the change was too great. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to recognize it at all.What shocked Zhuowen even more was that Cangjie's body was rooted by countless black veins. These veins were almost integrated with the meridians in Cangjie's body and could not be distinguished from each other.Zhuowen could see that in the process of the black veins constantly squirming, Cangjie's face would show an extremely painful expression, as if his tendons and bones were being pulled out.

In front of Zhuowen, the white crystal emitted a white light, like a guiding light in the dark.

Through the white light, Zhuo Wen's attention fell on the surroundings of the main hall. He discovered that the walls around the main hall were entwined with countless black veins. They were like vines that crawled all over the walls.
