Chapter 221 Twisted (1/2)
Shen Lian observed the underwater palace and did some thinking.
He waved and a ray of light struck ahead. The underwater palace was indeed under some sort of prohibition spell. It diverged from Shen Lian's ray of light.
Shen Lian frowned, he was just testing the waters but realized that the underwater palace was as rigid as an impregnable fortress.
It was built using an unconventional power which was similar but different from what he had learned.
The wonders of Xuanmen has endless of possibilities. The cultivation of the Qi and the spirit itself could generate unimaginable, incredible powers. But this underwater palace's arrangements of unconventional power was not anything supernatural. The entire structure was as solid as the strongest rock ever, the Jinggang rock. Unless one possessed enormous mana and breaks it directly, one would not be able to find any flaws with it.
Even Shen Lian could not detect the flow and changes of the spiritual vigor.
Thirty minutes later, the sound of tremor could be heard outside of the underwater palace. Shen Lian had used all his tricks to trigger the space to shake to the extent that it was almost destroyed and Shen Lian could feel a dash of scorching hot air.
Shen Lian was surprised. Apparently, this space was not an unconventional dimension but highly possibly in a magma.
If that was the case, it made perfect sense that the power of the pond and underwater palace came from the magma chambers in the core of the earth.
What sort of power had such ability to turn the magma chambers into something for personal use?
Shen Lian pondered the fact that he had mastered the Primordial Spirit and became a land immortal but yet he would not have such majestic supernatural powers to perform such a thing.
Shen Lian could not tell what was hiding beneath the sealed underwater palace.
He retreated from the small trail which had dull and undistinguishable writings at the side of the trail. Shen Lian than realized that he could not recall any single word despite having a photographic memory.
Shen Lian stopped walking and focused on memorizing a simple character that was on the trail. When each stroke of the character started to appear in his mind, he could feel a powerful force crushing on his body, flesh, and blood.
At the very last passageway, the concentration level of Qi vitality started to pierce through his body maniacally and it made Shen Lian felt like he was in the darkness of outer space. He noticed a star that was gradually lighted but it did not last long. He felt a sudden sharp pain and that snapped him back to reality.
That was because his body has reached a critical point and it automatically activated the self-defense mechanism.
Shen Lian did not force himself to continue trying. It was not that his mana and spirit were not strong enough but his body was too weak to recall the characters. His body could not endure the burden of visualizing those words.
There were one hundred and eight characters scattered on both sides of the walls of the passageway.
In a split second, Shen Lian counted a number of the characters and entered the stone room where the pond was located at. He kicked General Tusk and melted the ice that covered it.
The narwhal still could breathe without water but its mobility was not as agile as it was.
It lifted its head to look at Shen Lian and spoke to him with telepathy, ”What do you want?”
Shen Lian smiled and answered, ”Don't you have anything to say to me?”
General Tusk shook his tusk and looked confused.
Shen Lian held his hand out, Ice Light emerged like a sword gleam and condensed into a faint blue Xuan Ice. The icicle was extremely sharp.
