Chapter 486 (1/2)

Eastwards eight thousand kilometers from the Four Styles School towards the Great Liang Dynasty's central regions, there was a Lily Mountain.

This mountain received its name from its appearance that was like a blossoming lily.

However, what made Lily Mountain famous in Liangshan Continent nevertheless was an enormous cluster of palaces.

There were nine palaces altogether arranged into three rows. They were situated at the middle of the mountain, elegantly constructed multi-storey pagodas, with carved red pillars and rafters, absolutely beautiful. Even the Great Liang Imperial City was unable to compare, or perhaps it could be said that there was nothing in the world that could be mentioned in the same sentence as those palaces. These nine halls silently lay there, draped in splendor, making the valley pale in comparison.

A seemingly unreal appearance.

That made people restless.

This was the Bright Moon Longevity Palace!!

As one of the famous Seven Great Ruins, the Longevity Palace was clearly somewhat special. This palace's origins already was unable to be investigated. Reportedly, it descended from the Bright Moon, falling into the mundane world. Legend said it possessed the Longevity Immortal Pill and the Tears of Vega, thus it was called the Bright Moon Longevity Palace.

This palace existed before the Great Liang Dynasty was born. At that time, it was under the control of a coalition of cultivators. Up until Emperor Liang united the country, this Bright Moon Longevity Palace then become the imperial family's property. This Longevity Palace incorporated an innate forbiddance that even Liangshan's countless cultivators were unable to break through, and on the outside, Emperor Liang had assigned Prince Feng Wu1 to manage it. There were a hundred thousand elite troops standing guard, with even more first-rate puppets and cultivators keeping watch. Ordinary cultivators were basically unable to leave or enter.

This made the Great Liang's countless cultivators detest him to no end. Begrudgingly, Emperor Liang showed his authority, and everyone was left without a choice. However, it was fortunate that the Ten Great Sects' Great Cultivators could still travel as they pleased. This greatly satisfied these sects.

Su Xing guided the Heavenly River Star Riding Boat to the Bright Moon Palace. This place had a double layer forbiddance that required one to enter from the front gate. Su Xing had Zhao Hanyan's invitation as well as Chai Ling's powerful influence, so entering the Bright Moon Longevity Palace naturally was not a problem.

The soldiers standing guard immediately cupped their fists when they spotted Su Xing.

”Your Highness must be Brother Su Xing?”

”Precisely.”

”Because Her Highness the Princess had matters she was unable to free herself from, she is unable to come to the Bright Moon Longevity Palace. She asks that Brother Su Xing understand.” The officer in charge said casually, incomparably forthright. Su Xing very much liked this personality.

”Many thanks for the heads-up, I alone am perfect this time around.” Su Xing responded in kind. He originally did not want to involve Zhao Hanyan with the Alliance of Ten's encirclement. That she did not come was good, for it allowed Su Xing a measure of relief, so as to avoid things becoming difficult at that time.

”Brother, also please be careful inside.”

The officer ordered some other soldiers.

”Thanks.” Su Xing took a token. The Heavenly River Riding Star Boat transformed into a rainbow, split space apart and immediately vanished.

After they passed through a white mist, the scene before their eyes suddenly became clear.

Nine giant and beautiful palaces appeared in their lines of sight, made of precious materials, crafted with the finest skill.

Wu Siyou could not help but show astonishment.

”What are those?” Xi Yue pointed at many cracks in the sky above the palaces. Those cracks seemed to tear at space, changing constantly.

”Legend says the Bright Moon Longevity Palace fell to the mundane world from Star World. The process of its fall gave rise to countless fragments in space, and this only became increasingly formidable with myriad evolutions. Those should be spatial fragments.” Wu Xinjie said.

”Just be careful, and you'll be fine.” Su Xing comforted her.

”However, is the Bright Moon Longevity Palace like this?” Zhang Yuqi curiously gazed into the distance. The nine palaces were indeed fine and beautiful, but they appeared very ordinary, peaceful enough to make people feel soothed. There were no major differences, and it was very difficult to imagine this was in the style of the Seven Great Ruins.

”Yuqi can't see any mechanisms, any traps. If it's a ruin, shouldn't we be spending a lot of energy?” Zhang Yuqi felt this Bright Moon Longevity Palace in front of her actually was oddly easy.

”In actuality, the Longevity Palace has been this way ever since its creation.” Wu Xinjie also felt this was strange, but the books said that the Bright Moon Longevity Palace had some Demon Beasts and Demon Spirits from the very start. Afterwards, following the entrance of cultivators, they naturally were exterminated. Now, the only things left are these palaces, towering and lonely.”

”I have a question I want to ask.” Shi Yuan raised her hands. ”Since so much time has passed, what are we doing going now? All the good things definitely would have already been completely ransacked.”

”True, and this palace is under the imperial family's management. Perhaps even the floorboards have been flipped over.” Zhang Feiyu pursed her lips. ”Aren't we just picking leftovers, wasting time, stepping into the trap of those sects for no reason?”

Wu Siyou calmly said: ”Your Servant has actually heard that the Bright Moon Longevity Palace has another forbiddance that is unable to be broken. Because of this, the Bright Moon Longevity Palace has always been around.”

”Precisely, so that is our objective coming here. Xinjie wants to see whether or not we can break this forbiddance and unravel the secret mysteries of this Longevity Palace.” Wu Xinjie nodded her head.

”Let us take a look first.” Lin Yingmei's keen gaze penetrated the skies.

Regardless, these huge palaces were still considerably stunning.

Su Xing nodded, and then he descended towards the Longevity Palace.

Not long after Su Xing and the others entered, several escape lights arrived outside the Longevity Palace in succession. The hundred thousand soldiers standing guard were each frightened into quaking with their whole bodies, dripping cold sweat.

A powerful domineering aura pressed down, just like the Five Sacred Mountains, and the hundred thousand troops could not budge.

”Hmph.”

A sneer.

The escape light subsided, revealing a graceful woman, hovering in the air.

Supervoid Cultivator.

The officer was stunned. He promptly saluted respectfully. Supercluster Stage cultivators had the privilege of entering the Longevity Palace, to say nothing of Supervoid. ”Senior, This General salutes you.”

”Did someone enter just now?” Nangong Xing coldly asked.

The general did not dare hide anything.

”En, if you so much as leak a single word about today, not even Emperor Liang can save all of you.” Nangong Xing disdainfully said.

”This General does not dare.”

After he said so, the officer waved his hand and hastily withdrew a hundred meters, not daring to look any further at these Supervoid Cultivators.
