Chapter 2528: Barren Lands and the Black Sea (2/2)
After a short rest, Huang Xiaolong continued on his way to look for the entrance to the third floor the next day.
Half a month passed once again, and he finally managed to locate the entrance to the third floor!
As soon as he saw the third floor, Huang Xiaolong heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally!
The moment he passed the third floor, he would no longer be held down by the insane amount of restrictions. Not to mention, the absence the heavenly disasters. When that happened, it would be time to harvest all the herbs he wanted.
However, he knew that the third floor would only be more difficult to pass than the second floor.
Upon looking at the endless black sea on the third floor, Huang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment before entering the space above it.
The black sea was deathly calm. It wasn’t merely quiet, but there was a trace of death hidden behind the stillness. It felt a little desolate, and a little bleak. It was as though nothing could survive in the black sea.
A sudden feeling crossed Huang Xiaolong’s mind, and he thought that he had gone deaf for a moment. Even his heartbeat fell silent.
The calm environment didn’t last for long as a strange sound wave entered Huang Xiaolong’s mind in the next instant. Countless sound waves started to gather as they slammed into his holy soul.
When Huang Xiaolong entered the third floor, everyone’s sights, outside the Cangqiong Holy Manor, turned towards the third floor.
As long as a disciple entered the next floor, a brilliant light would light up the respective floor.
Everyone broke out into discussions the moment Huang Xiaolong entered the third floor.
“Master, the person who entered the third floor should be Juan’er, right? With her strength and talent, it would be a breeze for her to barge into the fourth floor…,” Xue Lingyun turned to the Cangqiong Old Man and asked.
According to what she knew, Tan Juan was the strongest among the younger generation disciples. With her Frozen Snow Imprint, she was the only person who could enter the third floor before the rest!
Cao Nan snorted when he heard what she said. “Dao Friend Lingyun, why are you so sure Tan Juan of your Clear Snow Palace has entered the third floor? For all we know, Xie Bufan could have entered the third floor before her.
“Even if you managed to obtain the first spot in the Trial of Blood, this is no longer a place for you to mess around.” Cao Nan snorted. “Xie Bufan will definitely enter the sixth floor before Tan Juan, and he’ll locate the key to the seventh floor!”
Tyrant Chu chuckled at the side, “Who the f*ck is Xie Bufan? Li Chen or my dear disciple Huang Xiaolong should be the one to have entered the third floor. With my disciple’s three Saint godheads, he will definitely be able to receive Dao Friend Cangqiong’s inheritance!”
“Hahaha! Huang Xiaolong entered the third floor?! This is the greatest joke I’ve heard in my years of existence! Tyrant Chu, Huang Xiaolong only managed to obtain the fifth place in the trial due to luck. Do you think luck lasts forever?” Cao Nan snorted.
“Heh! He probably won’t be able to enter the fourth floor! Even with his holy soul, he’s only a Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint. The time he has cultivated, it wouldn’t be enough to comprehend the grand dao! So he’ll probably be stuck in the second floor forever!” Cao Na continued.
The members of the Devil Palace roared with laughter.
…
As dozens of thousands of feet high waves slammed towards Huang Xiaolong, he didn’t plan to take them on as he dodged them.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t discover it at first, but he eventually realized that a single drop of water from the black sea was comparable to the weight of a mountain formed from chaos stones!
