“Primordial Celestial Palace?”

When these four words had left Nine Nether’s mouth, Mu Chen jerked with a shock. His eyes were filled with disbelief, as he glanced at the gray-robed figure.

He had not thought that this strange man in front of him could actually be one of the members of the legendary mysterious Primordial Celestial Palace?! This was the first time that he had encountered such a being, who knew of this mysterious Celestial Palace after having been in the Tianluo Continent for such a long time.

“He’s a member of the Primordial Celestial Palace? Did you get the wrong person?” Mu Chen swallowed hard, continuing to stare at the gray-robed figure in disbelief. He still just could not believe that he could obtain the information that he so greatly desired, especially after just entering the Meteorfall Battlefield.

“I wouldn’t recognize him wrongly, as the unique spiritual symbol on his forehead is what the members of the Primordial Celestial Palace all possess. It would appear naturally, if one cultivates the Divine Art from the Celestial Palace, and it cannot be replicated by other objects.”

Nine Nether stated this confidently. After all, she was from the Ninenether Bird Clan, which made her aware of many secrets from the primordial ages. Thus, she had some insider understanding of the Primordial Celestial Palace.

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. His gaze had been intensely focused on the gray-robed figure. The figure’s ferocious expression, held within his strange scarlet-black eyes, had now dissipated entirely, replaced by a gentler expression.

Boom! Boom!

When the scarlet-black color of the gray-robed figure’s eyes had dissipated entirely, the numerous bone dominoes that surrounded him began to explode, disintegrating into spots of light, then vanishing.

When the countless spots of light had dissipated, it was as if they could see countless silhouettes, but only vaguely. The silhouettes turned, then bowed slightly to Mu Chen, as if they were thanking him for arranging their bones in a proper way. After these silhouettes had bowed in gratitude, they turned into spots of light, then vanished entirely from this world.

Mu Chen sighed, then clasped his fists, returning the gesture of respect, as he faced towards where the spots of light had just dissipated. In this posture, he thanked them for helping him at this crucial moment.

After Nine Nether discovered what Mu Chen had done, she sighed and remarked, “Thanks to your gathering of their broken bones, they were able to retain their last traces of willpower, which caused them to sense the evil energies. This activated their final shred of willpower, allowing them to join forces in order to banish the figure’s evil energy.”

Mu Chen smiled bitterly, as he obviously had not imagined that his casual act would have created such consequences.

“How is he now? Is he still alive?” Mu Chen’s eyes turned back to the gray-robed figure. If the latter was really a man from the Primordial Celestial Palace, then he would probably know a wealth of information about the Primordial Celestial Palace.

“Haha! I fell thousands of years ago, when the evil energy entered my body and sealed my willpower. Although it also preserved my body, it was only a superficial illusion. Now that the evil spirit has dissipated, my body should soon be reduced to ashes.” A slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out gently, relief evident in his aged voice.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether were astonished, before realizing that the gray-robed figure had come to his senses, a light now twinkling in his eyes. However, anyone could tell that this twinkling was the last radiance of a man’s setting sun, as it was clear that he would die soon.

The gray-robed figure, having regained his senses, now glanced towards the two. He bowed deeply. “Thank you for ending my suffering. It was torture being invaded by that evil energy.”

Mu Chen and Nine Nether hurriedly bowed back in respect. “Elder, you are too polite. You fell while carrying out your duty to protect the Great Thousand World, so that the next generation, like us, could live in freedom. Hence, we are honored to be of any assistance to you.”

The gray-robed figure smiled gently. “My physical body will not be able to sustain much longer. Thus, I am unable to show my gratitude for your generous help. But, if you would like to know anything, I am glad to tell you as much as I can.”

Clearly, he could tell that Mu Chen and Nine Nether were very curious about his identity as one of the members of the Primordial Celestial Palace. Mu Chen could not hide his glee, as he clasped his fists respectfully. “Is Elder a member of the Primordial Celestial Palace?”

“I am the Chief Disciple of the Fourth Hall Master of the Primordial Celestial Palace, Xiao Qingyun.” The gray-robed figure smiled. He was clearly proud of his identity and of where he hailed from.

“The Fourth Hall Master?” Mu Chen and Nine Nether looked at each other, a bit confused. This was a term that was quite foreign to them.
