Chapter 3928: Ancient Palace
Thankfully, the White Snake didn’t target Ling Han, because he was too weak.
This powerful beast set its eyes on those True Self Tier old monsters. In its eyes, it was definitely them that had s.n.a.t.c.hed its eggs, and if it wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h back its children, it would have to kill these people.
Ferocious beasts did not have developed intelligence, and were purely acting on instinct.
In fact, White Snake was indeed strong, but it was not strong enough to suppress all the True Self Tier elites. Otherwise, it would not have fled at that time. However, this time, the old monsters of True Self Tier didn’t even have a reason to put their lives on the line.
Previously, it was for the inheritance of the Subsidiary Divine Beast, but now? They could not enter into the palace, so they naturally had lost all desire to battle.
Ling Han retrieved the Void Beast hide and draped it over his body in front of everyone. Then, he boldly walked forward.
‘You can do that?’
Everyone was watching dumbfounded. At the same time, they were very envious of Ling Han’s ability to conceal himself, but now that the White Snake was entrenched ahead of them, which of them would dare make a move to pursue Ling Han?
Moreover, now that they had missed the chance at the beginning, they had long since lost track of Ling Han’s whereabouts. Even if they wanted to pursue him, it would be fruitless.
Ling Han didn’t mind leaking the secret of the Void Beast hide, because this wasn’t his original appearance, and this person wouldn’t appear again in the future.
After arriving at a safe area, Ling Han removed his disguise and left calmly.
He did not leave the island at the first instant, but rather searched around.
There were many Celestial medicines here, so he naturally had to search carefully.
His gains were not small. Not only did he obtain Celestial medicines, he also obtained divine substances, and only after making a fortune did he leave quietly.
After returning to the Demonic Origin Realm, he began to refine the seventh streak of celestial light.
After spending some time, he finally succeeded.
There were still two more to go. As long as he obtained another two streaks of celestial light, and cultivated to the peak stage of Nine Cauldrons, Ling Han would break through to the Core Formation Tier. At that time, he would go to the Tong Clan Residence and make a resolution. He continued to search for useful clues. There were practically treasures everywhere in this place. There were inheritances of elites, celestial light, Celestial medicines, and so on. It was no wonder that after it opened, the entire North Heavenly Realm was in an uproar over it. Yi?
He found a piece of information. This was not “news”, but “old news”.
In the central area of the Demonic Origin Realm, there was an ancient hall. The doors were tightly locked, and it was extremely dilapidated. However, even though it looked dilapidated, as if a larger storm would be able to completely destroy it, after countless years, not a single person could enter.
It did not have the intimidation left behind by an elite. They were just ordinary-looking walls, blocking everyone.
Ling Han was curious, so he decided to take a look.
Several days later, he arrived at the heart of the Demonic Origin Realm, and he effortlessly found that ancient palace.
It was truly ancient. The walls of the palace hall had been corroded by time, and there were marks on them. In many places, the paint had fallen off, revealing the bricks inside. At a glance, one could tell that they were very ordinary.
Ordinarily, to say nothing of True Self Tier cultivators, even minor characters of the mortal level would be able to easily destroy this kind of palace.
But in truth, it had always existed, and no one could enter.
“Yi?” He was surprised, because he saw a familiar face. Song Lan.
This exquisite beauty was like a brilliant star no matter where she was. She was always surrounded by people, and this place was no exception. She was dressed in a long white dress, and did not put on any makeup, yet was incomparably beautiful, causing one’s heart to throb wildly, unable to control himself.
There were a dozen over young men surrounding her, all of them elegant and graceful, possessing an intimidating aura.
Those who were qualified to stay by her side were definitely all supreme prodigies.
Ling Han had already disguised himself, so no one could recognize him. Thus, he confidently walked forwards, and arrived in front of the main doors. He stretched out a hand to push the
doors open.
He pushed hard, yet shockingly discovered that his power was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Interesting.
He retreated a little, and shot out a punch at empty air. Power surged, blasting at the great doors, but when this power landed on the great doors, it was similarly like water that had encountered a sponge, completely absorbed.
No wonder this palace had never been opened before. It was indeed mysterious. However, it had always been here. Perhaps, it had attracted the curiosity of the natives a long time ago, but as time pa.s.sed, naturally, no one paid any more attention to it. They were no longer surprised by it.
Only outsiders would find it novel. Those like Song Lan and Ling Han had all been drawn over.
“Heh, there’s no need to waste your energy. It’s impossible to blast open this wall,” a young man said. He stroked the wall with his hand, and said, “I can’t help but sigh. Time is the most powerful power.”
“Look, we can’t damage it in the slightest, but time can cause it to decay. One day, these walls will collapse.”
“Unfortunately, at that time, perhaps we would have long since died.”
He deliberately spoke very deeply, as if he wanted to create his own mature bearing.
Ling Han looked at the great doors, and asked with a smile, “Why don’t you think of finding the key to open the great doors?”
That’s right!
A great many people nodded. This was actually the simplest logic, so why had they not thought of it previously?
This was actually a common problem of cultivators. For example, when they explored ancient tombs, which tomb owner would welcome them and leave behind a key when they were alive?
Thus, when they encountered abodes, palaces, and so on, their instinctive reaction was that they had to fight their way in.
“Nonsense, this palace has existed for who knows how long. If we could find the key, would we still need to wait until now?” The young man from before asked in displeasure, and even
glared at Ling Han.
‘I’m pretending to be reserved here and deliberately showing off in front of a beauty, so why are you undermining me?’
Ling Han glanced at him, and said calmly, “I’m only talking about one possibility. Even if you don’t agree, you can still talk nicely. Has no one taught you manners?”
The young man looked humiliated and furious, “Do I, Liang Dongkui, need you to teach me a
lesson?”
“If you can’t control your mouth, I don’t mind teaching you,” Ling Han said calmly.
Liang Dongkui was just about to make a move, when he saw Song Lan raise a hand and stop
him.
He did not dare to be rude to the beauty, and hurriedly withdrew his fist. Meanwhile, Song Lan looked towards Ling Han, a puzzled expression appearing on her face,
“Have we met before?”
A woman’s intuition was really frightening. This disguise of his was completely new.
Ling Han laughed loudly, “Perhaps you have seen me in your dreams.”
“How dare you!”
“Impudence!”
All the youngsters berated at the same time, all of them raising their brows, unable to restrain
their fury.
This was their G.o.ddess, yet Ling Han actually dared to tease her. How could they not be
furious? It was as if they had all been cuckolded.
Song Lan’s pretty face also turned cold. How could this person be so flippant? Though Ling Han had not uttered any obscene words, his intention to take liberties with her was already
very obvious.
“Forget it, don’t drop down to his level.” She turned around and left, not bothering to look at
Ling Han.
As she said this, all the young people hurriedly followed behind her. They could not enter this palace at all, so what was the point of staying here?
Of course, it was to court the G.o.ddess’ favour, and see if there was a chance to win the
beauty’s heart.
Seeing these people leave, Ling Han broke into a grin, and took out a bronze key.
