Buzz!
Jiang Yi felt a white flash, and he had arrived at a new hall. This was a true main hall, and it was different from the previous smaller halls. This main hall was very bright as it was huge with plenty of luminous pearls, allowing visibility to reach three kilometers.
This main hall should be three kilometers in width and 300 meters in height. In the center path, there would be giant stone pillars every few meters which supported the ceiling. The stone pillars had stone carvings, and they were scenes of giants battling with demonic beasts. The carvings were vivid and lifelike as though it was living.
“What is this place?”
Jiang Yi knitted his brows and didn’t dare to move recklessly. He looked around and entered the Union of Heaven and Man to scout around. He was very suspicious because there weren’t any restriction waves in this main hall. Not even those stone pillars had restriction waves.
Swis.h.!.+
He still didn’t dare to move recklessly and took out a few weapons to throw them around. The weapons let out a spark on the ground but didn’t activate any restrictions.
He moved slowly and picked up the weapons and advanced slowly while making sure it was safe. He didn’t dare to approach the stone pillars and continued to run forward. This time, it didn’t take long before he reached the end!
“Sky General Palace, Sky G.o.d Palace, Sky King Palace!”
There were no entrances at the front as there were three giant stone doors instead. On the top of the doors were crooked but huge wordings. Jiang Yi spent some effort before being able to recognize the wordings. He looked at the large door on the right and his eyes lit up.
Jian Wuying had said that if he could enter the Sky King Palace, he would be possible to obtain the ancient artifacts condensed with dao patterns. Wasn’t this the Sky King Palace? It might be the first time Jiang Yi heard of ancient artifacts, but since Jian Wuying said it was condensed with dao patterns, then it must be even more amazing than spirit connected cardinal treasures.
Weapons were lifeless, and even spirit-connected cardinal treasure would only be able to enhance the attack power. The most crucial thing was still dependent on the wielder’s combat strength. If a Soul Travel Realm martial artist was to wield a spirit-connected cardinal treasure, it would truly be a waste of treasure.
If these ancient artifacts were truly condensed with dao patterns, then it would be amazing. The wielder just had to activate the treasure to activate the dao pattern inside, forming horrific attacks. If the ancient artifact was condensed with a seven-star or eight-star dao pattern, then the power released from it would be certainly heaven-defying. Of course, this was just Jiang Yi’s conjecture as his understanding of ancient artifacts was simply based on two statements from Jian Wuying.
“Should I enter or not?”
Jiang Yi hesitated when looking at the Sky King Palace’s door. He had entered this place to search for his enemies and not for treasures. There wasn’t much time left, and if he wasted it on a treasure hunt, it wouldn’t be worth it.
“What am I thinking about?”
He suddenly slapped his head and laughed bitterly. There was no way out of this place apart from entering these three palace doors. Why was he even hesitating for?
He scouted the situation with the Union of Heaven and Man state. He noticed the other two doors had restriction waves while this Sky King Palace didn’t have any. He lifted his hand and struck essence force at the door.
Boom!
The door shook a little but didn’t have any reaction. He knitted his brows and thought, “The door won’t open?” He hesitated and took a few steps forward and pushed on the large door. As a result… the large door actually opened inwards silently.
“Go!”
There was no other way, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and take a step inside. Once he stepped in, the scenery before his eyes had changed again. This time, he had arrived in an even larger hall. It was so wide there weren’t any boundaries, and the stone pillars here were much bigger. The carvings of the giants on the pillars even gave a kind of subtle pressure.
He didn’t dare to move. After checking and making sure there wasn’t any danger, he lifted his leg and walked forward.
Plop!
Once he lifted his leg, he suddenly felt an intense pressure that was pressing on his body. His unstable center of gravity caused him to kneel down on the ground. He opened his eyes and looked around and silently felt that this d.a.m.ned place was too wicked. The gravity here was 100 times stronger than outside, and he reckoned that it would be challenging to even walk.
“Up!”
He gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up. Strangely, he didn’t feel any pressure when he stood back up. When he lifted his leg, that heavy pressure suddenly acted on his body again. He had no choice but to advance slowly and didn’t dare to lift his legs too high. He was almost sliding on the ground.
“Something isn’t right…”
After advancing over 300 meters, Jiang Yi’s heart suddenly surged with an intense feeling of danger. He paused and immediately entered the Union of Heaven and Man state. There was indeed a slight restriction wave on that brick at the front. His forehead was drenched with cold sweat as he didn’t discover it earlier. If he had taken a step there, he would probably be blasted into a pulp by now.
He quickly s.h.i.+fted to the side and continued to advance while staying in the Union of Heaven and Man state. When he was moving, he noticed a problem as the number of bricks with restrictions was getting bigger. This restriction seemed to be intentionally guiding him to s.h.i.+ft to the left while advancing.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yi discovered over ten hallways in front of him; but he could only take the leftmost hallway as the other hallways had bricks with restriction waves.
“What is the meaning of this? Am I intentionally made to walk this hallway?”
Jiang Yi opened his eyes and looked at this 300 meters long hallway with suspicion. The hallway was short, and there was another large hall on the other side of the hallway. It should be an inner hall.
“Does this hallway have any mystery?”
Jiang Yi paused for a moment and noticed that this hallway didn’t have any danger. He struggled to s.h.i.+ft his legs to enter the hallway. As soon as he entered the hallway, his expression instantly changed!
The hallway which originally didn’t have any restriction waves suddenly lit up, and there was a pressure which was ten times heavier and blasted down abruptly. Jiang Yi’s entire body was stuck on the ground, and his face felt as though someone was stomping on his head!
“d.a.m.n, how can this ancient race’s restriction be so insane? How did their members enter the inner hall like this?”
With such powerful gravity, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven if he wanted to crawl through this hallway. Even if he risked his life, he wouldn’t be able to crawl across the hallway in two hours!
“Back off?”
Even if he backed off, there were no other pathways. This Divine Temple was similar to the other halls. There was no way out apart from advancing and finding the exit.
“Should I just lie here and wait to be teleported out?”
Jiang Yi wasn’t willing to admit defeat like this. He had gone through hards.h.i.+ps to arrive here, and he felt that it would be his loss if he didn’t enter the inner hall to take a look. Even if he couldn’t obtain the treasures, he should at least take a look. This was a palace hall of a prominent figure of the ancient race.
“Crawl!”
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and started to crawl. He used all his strength, and both his hands and legs to slide across the ground. With such a powerful gravitational force, his crawling speed was comparable to a snail. He originally wanted to crawl across this 300 meters hallway in two hours, but from the looks of it, he wouldn’t be able to crawl out of here without spending at least three hours.
“Crawl! Crawl! Crawl!”
He didn’t care about anything else and crawled while gritting his teeth. One hour later, he heard soft footsteps from behind, but he was currently a kilometer across the hallway, and he couldn’t extend his divine senses; neither could his Union of Heaven and Man state check so far away. He simply knew that someone had entered, but he didn’t know who it was.
“Haha!”
A loud laughter then echoed from behind, and he knew who it was. She Fei spoke with a forthright and loud voice, “All of you, wait here. This Young Master will pa.s.s through the Ancient Divine Pa.s.sage to retrieve the ancient artifact. If more people entered this Ancient Divine Pa.s.sage, the gravity would get stronger. All of you are to stay here.”
“Hahaha!”
No long after She Fei’s voice echoed, another laughter echoed from behind; and Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with killing aura. Wu Ni actually entered this place as well?
Wu Ni’s laughing voice quickly echoed. “All of you wait here and protect Tingyu properly! See how I pa.s.s through this Ancient Divine Pa.s.sage and obtain the Sky King’s ancient artifact! She Fei… do you want to obtain the ancient artifact? Let’s see who is faster then!”
“She Fei? Wu Ni? They want to obtain the ancient artifact?”
Jiang Yi revealed a sneer as his body quickly twisted around as he desperately tried to crawl forward. His two archenemies were right here with him. How could he allow them to obtain the treasures?
