Chapter 1542: The True Inheritance! (2/2)

After glancing at the barrier for a few moments, Wang Chong looked beyond. The vast and majestic Origin Immortal Palace did not seem like a building of the mortal world, but one from the heavens.

It was difficult to imagine that such a vast and grandiose structure from the Spring and Autumn Era more than one thousand years ago had been able to be perfectly preserved up until the present age.

The fact that this Origin Immortal Palace had remained suspended above the abyss for a thousand years made it only more mysterious.

Truly incredible!

Wang Chong suddenly sighed.

The long river of history had engulfed countless civilizations, snuffing out their glories and radiance. If he weren't seeing it with his own eyes, he would have never believed that a thing like this would be hidden sixteen thousand meters beneath the earth.

I wonder what sort of secret could be hiding within? Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

Clang!

As he was thinking, he heard a metallic ring. Lowering his head, he saw that the Origin Immortal Sword was softly shaking as if excited to sense a familiar energy.

After a momentary daze, Wang Chong seemed to understand what was going on. Tap! Holding the Origin Immortal Sword, he pressed forward.

Buzz!

Countless ripples appeared in the air, and as countless envious and admiring eyes watched, Wang Chong's figure easily passed through the golden barrier.

The barrier rippled like water, washing over Wang Chong's body and absorbing it.

”What? How? He actually got in!”

The martial artists were slack-jawed and wide-eyed. The impregnable barrier to them had seemingly not even existed to Wang Chong.

”It's over! The world's number one art is going to be his!”

Some of the more vicious martial artists could not hide their envy.

”Stand aside!”

Someone viciously roared, and then, bzzzz! A figure seething with evil energy slammed into the part of the barrier that Wang Chong had just entered through.

Bang!

With a massive explosion and a mighty shockwave, that figure was sent flying back more than a hundred feet, leaving faster than they had come.

”Ancestor!”

”Not good! Hurry and help him!”

The Five Ancestor Alliance disciples were thrown into disarray, and they hastily rushed forward. Only after expending great effort did they manage to pull back the Black Yin Ancestor before he fell into the abyss.

”Bastard! What's going on here?”

The Black Yin Ancestor cursed, appearing much worse for wear.

He had never in his life been so hard-pressed. He had tried to get into the Origin Immortal Palace from the same place, but he had been blocked and almost pushed into the abyss. This was simply absurd!

Wang Chong had no idea what was going on behind him or what sort of disturbance his actions had created. His mind was completely focused on the scene before him.

”What a strange sensation!” Wang Chong muttered to himself as he looked around. This golden light was extremely viscous, flowing through his fingers like liquid. Wang Chong had thought that he could enter the palace once he had gotten through the golden barrier, but this was not the case at all.

Wang Chong also felt an indescribable strangeness.

The golden barrier had seemed very thin, but no matter how thick it was, he should have been able to get into the palace after getting through the barrier. Yet not only had Wang Chong failed to get inside the palace, he couldn't even see it anymore. All he saw was complete chaos.

Hisss!

Wang Chong breathed in, focused his mind, and walked forward. The Origin Immortal Treasury was fraught with danger, and he had not been able to obtain any useful information from the Origin Immortal Chief. Until he knew what was going on, he did not dare to be careless.

Wang Chong continued to make his way through the golden light, and after some time, in a flash of light, the way became open and clear.

But when Wang Chong saw what was going on, he was struck dumb.

”How could this be?!” Wang Chong muttered in disbelief. In front of him was not the grandiose Origin Immortal Palace he had imagined, but a vast world of white.

Surging white fog engulfed the world, packing every inch of space. Lowering his head, he saw white stones under his feet, but farther on was apparently yet another bottomless abyss.
