Chapter 1525: The Origin Immortal Palace! (2/2)

The martial artists were shocked and confused.

These men in black gave off a strange feeling that made them stand out from everyone else.

Hidden in the middle of the crowd, Wang Chong said nothing. Unlike the others, with his powerful Psychic Energy, he had been able to sense a pulse of energy coming from the pillar as it sank into the ground, traveling upward to a place high above the abyss.

This ripple grew fainter and fainter as it continued upward, and the sounds eventually died away to nothing.

Absolute silence reigned.

Everyone nervously waited for anything to happen. Even the men in black were looking upward into the dense fog.

Time passed by, with the air itself seeming to freeze.

”This is…!”

Wang Chong was the first to sense something.

A few moments later, boom! A vast sound came from above like some enormous object had shifted.

This sound soon crescendoed into a deafening rumble.

”Look over there!” someone suddenly shouted.

Phweeee! There was a sharp whistle in the air, and then a dazzling golden light appeared, growing larger and larger like a comet descending to the earth.

At first glance, the golden light had been the size of a sesame seed, and it had been eight to nine thousand meters away from the crowd.

But in the blink of an eye, the light had swelled to tens of thousands of times its original size, becoming a massive golden sphere.

And there seemed to be something inside the golden sphere.

”Not good!”

”Careful!”

The blazing comet seethed with scorching heat and lit up this dark world as brightly as day.

Rumble!

In only a few seconds, the massive golden sphere crashed into the ancient altar floating at the end of the chains, suspended over the abyss.

The golden ball had come from high above the abyss, and the force of its impact sent a massive shockwave sweeping through the area.

Thumpthump!

A martial artist standing at the cliff was caught off guard and bowled over by the impact.

The quiet crowd of martial artists immediately fell into disarray.

”What was that?”

Boom! Wang Chong spread out his Stellar Energy, but his eyes were already focused on the golden ball of light. As the explosive shockwave spread outward, Wang Chong resisted its power to see into the heart of the impact zone.

”How, how… how could this be?!!”

Wang Chong had mentally prepared himself, but when he saw the ball of light on the distant altar, his body trembled in shock.

Across the stone bridge and past the two chains, Wang Chong saw a golden light, and within this golden light was an ancient palace. Its dazzling arches and golden walls exuded an otherworldly beauty.

Wang Chong felt like he had gone back in time to the ancient times of the Spring and Autumn Era. This grandeur, solemnity, and serenity filled his heart with respect and admiration!

But Wang Chong's focus quickly turned to the golden words in ancient script written on the signboard above the palace gate.

'Origin Immortal Palace'!

These words were written in a bold and vigorous style that radiated divinity and majesty.

It's really the Origin Immortal Palace!

Wang Chong's body trembled in shock, an indescribable feeling in his heart. When he didn't find the Origin Immortal Art in the center of the treasury, he had felt that something strange was going on, that this excursion was not as simple as it seemed. There seemed to be something else hidden behind the trial of the first-generation successor and the Origin Immortal Sword.

But those had only been speculations, and he hadn't been able to see anything else in the core.

If not for these men in black, Wang Chong would have never imagined that the treasury's core was concealing a 'heavenly grotto'. The true treasury had been placed far above the abyss.

These men in black… already knew that there was a secret to this place!

In a flash of sudden insight, Wang Chong sensed that the men in black had some sort of special relationship with the Origin Immortal Lord.
