Chapter 584: Chapter 277: Shocking Secrets, Ancient Dragon Palace_3
Although Yuan Shun at this moment had the same smile on his face as he looked at Han Yi, Han Yi didn’t dare to be careless and remained vigilant in his eyes.
“You really are my lucky star.”
“You, kid, are already at the Golden Core Peak, and still so cautious, it’s really like you.”
“Don’t worry, I am Yuan Shun, and I haven’t been possessed. I will take you to find something first, and then explain everything to you.”
Yuan Shun chuckled, then stood in the void, stomping his foot lightly. A wave emanated around him, enveloping the surrounding corpses, which began to roll and boil again, congealing above the solid ice below.
Boom.
Under the pressure of the corpse energy, the ten-thousand-year ice was shattered in an instant, and a downward passage appeared in the blink of an eye. This passage, filled with extreme cold air, was bottomless, and the surrounding corpse energy constantly drilled into it, seemingly wanting to break through the incredibly thick layer of ice.
The tremendous sound of the vibration echoed throughout the area filled with corpses.
As the ice shattered and the vibration began, the endless corpse energy surrounding them rushed and rolled, enveloping the two of them, like a protective barrier that followed them as they plummeted downward.
It was at this moment that Han Yi found his restrained body restored to normal, and furthermore, no longer feeling the cold invading as he was feeling earlier, due to the protection formed by the corpse energy that isolated the space and the extreme cold outside.
However, his eyes remained vigilant, and he didn’t make any other unnecessary moves. The demon-slaying inner armor and the fourth-stage talisman in his hand were still held and not put away.
“Are you really Yuan Shun?” Han Yi asked with a furrowed brow.
Yuan Shun smiled and shook his head: “How come it’s been almost thirty years since we met, and you’re still unwilling to call me Sect Master?”
Of course, Yuan Shun was joking, but when he said that, Han Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Because he suddenly realized that Yuan Shun didn’t have to deceive him. He wasn’t worth deceiving. If he had been possessed, he would either be killed on the spot or ignored and allowed to escape.
“Sect Master, where have you been these years, and what is your current situation?” Han Yi immediately asked. This was what he was most curious about all these years.
However, he was interrupted by Yuan Shun before he could even finish his question.
“Wait, I will answer your questions one by one. Let me retrieve this item first.”
Yuan Shun didn’t look at Han Yi but looked down. His white pupils had turned from a pale white to a pristine white.
Hearing this, Han Yi immediately stopped talking, looked down following Yuan Shun’s gaze, and found himself deep in a long, ice-cold passage. At the bottom of the passage, the corpse energy transformed into an ice-breaking machine, drilling deeper and chiseling the solid ice, squeezing it to the sides, forming a downward passage.
“We’re here.”
Yuan Shun whispered, and before Han Yi could react, the vibration sound disappeared and the long ice tunnel reached its bottom. The scene that appeared before them was no longer an ice tunnel.
What appeared in front of them was a vast expanse of magnificent palaces, countless grand and majestic halls buried in this extreme cold world under layers of ice.
Although they could only catch a glimpse of it, the grandeur of these palaces was enough for him to imagine how glorious this world was before it fell silent.
“This is the Ancient Dragon Palace, one of the rulers of the ancient Tianquan World.”
“However, things from the Dragon Palace cannot be touched. This Dragon Palace is still alive. If we take something from it, it will be hard to end this causality. It will be a big trouble for me.”
“I came to the Tianquan World this time to retrieve something that originally belonged to the Void Prison.”
Yuan Shun softly explained, but this time Han Yi didn’t ask any more questions. However, he had already memorized every word that Yuan Shun had said, knowing that what he had encountered this time was absolutely a shocking secret.
A living Ancient Dragon Palace, Void Domain?
Han Yi knew about the Ancient Dragon Palace, but he didn’t know what a living Ancient Dragon Palace meant.
As for the Void Domain, he also knew that the pearl that had entered Yuan Shun’s body was obtained from the deep depths of the Void Domain.
Han Yi didn’t know that the ‘prison’ Yuan Shun was talking about was the ‘prison’ of hell, not the ‘domain’ of the world, and Yuan Shun didn’t explain it.
At this moment.
The two had passed through an unknown depth of ice, entering the ancient Dragon Palace beneath this frozen world to retrieve the object belonging to the ‘Void Prison’.
Yuan Shun explained briefly before standing in the void, closing his eyes, and radiating an invisible wave.
Han Yi knew that he was sensing the object they were looking for, so he slightly shifted his gaze and looked into the ancient Dragon Palace world. He was shocked to discover that here, his psychic power couldn’t even reach one kilometer, let alone leave his body. He could only rely on his naked eyes to see this world.
This world was well-preserved and intact, not like the heavily damaged Eternal Rest Immortal City in the Fragmented Immortal World that Han Yi had visited in his search for immortals before. Ninety-nine percent of the Eternal Rest Immortal City was destroyed, but this ancient Dragon Palace mentioned by Yuan Shun seemed to have been frozen in an instant, even time seemed to have been paused.
Below Han Yi, in front of a side hall, a beautifully dressed young girl was walking. Her body had remained frozen and unchanged for 100,000 years, with two immature dragon horns on her head. They were only an inch long but emitted a faint golden light, looking extremely dangerous at a glance.
At this time.
Yuan Shun opened his eyes again, his white pupils looking in a certain direction.
“We are lucky.”
“The object is not far from here. I will quickly retrieve it. Wait for me here, and don’t wander off. When I get the object, we will leave immediately.”
As soon as his words fell, Yuan Shun flickered and disappeared like a teleport, Han Yi couldn’t even see the trace of him leaving. Moreover, since his psychic power couldn’t spread out at the moment, Han Yi couldn’t explore the surroundings either.
However.
The corpse energy wrapped around him hadn’t dissipated yet; otherwise, with his current cultivation base, he might have been frozen solid and turned into ice, falling down in an instant.
His heart was chilled, and he dared not move. He stayed where he was, observing the frozen girl in brocade clothes in front of the side hall below. Of course, his main focus was on those horns.
Since this place was the ancient Dragon Palace, would the girl in brocade below be a Dragon Princess? And if his guess was correct, the horns would undoubtedly be dragon horns.
It was said that all parts of a true dragon were treasures, dragon horns, tendons, blood, eyes, bones, and flesh were all exceptional spiritual items that could be used for refining medicine, pills, array formations, and artifacts.
However, the risk of hunting true dragons was too high. Even in ancient times, during the era of immortals, it rarely happened because it was said that once a true dragon reached adulthood, it would become an immortal. Even young true dragons were comparable to Spirit Transformations; each one was like a walking natural disaster.
Moreover, Yuan Shun had just said that the things in this ancient Dragon Palace couldn’t be taken. The cause and effect were too heavy, even he couldn’t bear it, let alone Han Yi.
Han Yi shook his head slightly, his face full of regret.
Just then.
Boom!
A terrifying rumble came from nearby, the entire Dragon Palace and the whole world began to shake.
Han Yi was startled, suddenly looking towards the depths of the Dragon Palace. In that direction, an aura that made him involuntarily want to bow in worship came rushing over. This aura made his whole body tremble, and the Soul Tower in his Sea of Consciousness also shook violently.
It felt like with just a single thought of that aura, his life could be taken away.
Swish!
Yuan Shun’s figure suddenly appeared beside Han Yi, his right hand holding a square-shaped stone. The stone looked ordinary, but his arm was wrapped in two kinds of flames, one white and one black. These two flames spread from his wrist to his shoulder joint, looking extremely eerie.
“Let’s go.”
Yuan Shun’s face was cold as he shouted, and corpse energy gushed out from above the two, wrapping them up and pulling them upward.
It was another long tunnel, but unlike the peaceful one before, this time the tunnel was shaking and trembling violently as if it could collapse at any moment.
Han Yi looked at Yuan Shun’s right hand, the square-shaped stone in his hand should be the target of this trip, and the two-colored flames on his arm should have been received when he took out the stone.
Han Yi was about to speak when he heard the sound of collapse coming from the tunnel. His heart tightened but before the collapse, they had already rushed out. Their figures did not stop, instead, they soared upward.
Unconsciously, he glanced downwards and his pupils constricted.
