Chapter 2348 - A Transmigrator from One Thousand Years Ago! (2/2)

As Li Xuantu spoke, he stared in surprise at this youth.

“Perhaps,” Wang Chong noncommittally said, unwilling to speak more on this matter.

To this world and people like Li Xuantu, the existence of transmigrators was still a secret.

Whoosh!

Wang Chong waved his sleeve and continued forward.

“Time is short. We need to find the Celestial Palace’s core!”

Li Xuantu hesitated a moment, but though he found the matter strange, he decided to follow Wang Chong, and the group soon passed the chessboard and ventured deeper into the sea of clouds and mist.

After passing the outermost buildings of the Celestial Palace, they soon arrived at the second large square.

This square was on a much larger scale, and the material for the flooring was even more valuable. In addition, clouds had been carved atop the paving stones, and numerous jewels and precious stones had been embedded into the ground. Besides that, even more white mist was seeping out.

A sea of mist completely engulfed the world.

“What’s this? I feel like this region’s not the same as the previous one,” Li Xuantu commented, frowning.

Wang Chong thought for a moment before saying, “It’s the power of a domain. It seems that the Celestial Palace is divided into various regions, and they’re divided from each other by barriers.”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and it was only a few steps before his conjectures were proved true by a glassy barrier of light gold rising out of the ground to bar his path.

The moment this barrier appeared, it completely divided the two regions.

“It really is as you said. The Celestial Palace seems to have very strict divisions. For the vast majority of martial artists, it would be very difficult to break through this barrier,” Li Xuantu said.

These barriers were ‘outwardly loose and internally tight’. There didn’t seem to be anything special about them on the surface, but Li Xuantu could sense that this glassy barrier was fused with the Celestial Palace. Trying to force one’s way through would be attacking the Celestial Palace itself. Let alone breaking through, one might also face a severe backlash.

However, this barrier wasn’t enough to stop experts of Wang Chong and Li Xuantu’s level.

Buzz!

Ignoring Li Xuantu, Wang Chong strode through the barrier into the second square.

Grotto Heaven realm experts could control spacetime, so ordinary barriers naturally couldn’t stop them. There was a series of ripples as Wang Chong passed through the barrier like it was a curtain of water.

Bang!

As Wang Chong’s foot hit the ground, he sensed a gloomy energy, and a dark shadow appeared on Wang Chong’s face.

“How is it? Did you notice anything?”

A soft sound came from behind him as Li Xuantu stepped through the barrier and up to Wang Chong’s side.

Wang Chong shook his head. But just when he was about to speak, he glanced into the depths of the mist. His eyes widened as he swiftly walked over.

About a hundred feet away, a black object lay on the paving stones. Wang Chong reached out, pulling that black object from the ground and into his hand. He instantly felt the touch of cold metal.

“This is… a shard of armor!”

Li Xuantu looked around, his eyebrows creasing.

The armor shard in Wang Chong’s hand was about the size of a palm and was covered in exquisite patterns. It had clearly belonged to a very expensive suit of armor.

One was a former Crown Prince and the other was a Supreme Marshal, so they were familiar with this kind of armor. But what they cared about was not the armor shard itself.

“There was a battle here, a very intense one.”

Li Xuantu’s eyes twitched. Armor like this would not easily decay, and if it did decay, it would start to decay from the edges, not shatter into pieces. Most importantly, he could see the traces of battle on this piece of armor.

“Were they fighting over the Celestial Palace?” Li Xuantu hesitantly said.

“I don’t know, but we’re inside the Celestial Palace. Anything is possible,” Wang Chong sternly said.

The Celestial Palace had a very powerful disruptive ability, so even Wang Chong could not find out much. But at this moment, Wang Chong understood why he had sensed a gloomy energy as soon as he had stepped into the region.

As they ventured farther into the rolling mists, they found more and more signs of battle, shattered armor and scattered weapons. The paving stones which had been reinforced by many formations were scarred by weapons and explosions of Stellar Energy.

On one of these paving stones, Wang Chong even spotted a giant furrow that was sixty to seventy feet long.
