Chapter 124: Dare I ask, Are there Immortals in Heaven?

“Don’t ask anymore, let’s just hurry and leave this place first.” The purple clothed lady had a face filled with fear.

The bottom of the lake was very gloomy and extremely dark, the light released by Ye Fan’s body was like a lantern within the water.

Up ahead was an immense bronze palace that was mottled with rust, a unique energy fluctuation could be felt from it, making him feel a great sense of unease.

Ye Fan carried the purple clothed lady as he retreated, the lake gurgled as seven to eight waxed corpses began to float, appearing especially eerie.

“Faster!” The purple clothed lady looked pitifully at him, her face a pasty white.

Ye Fan was not a foolish person, in such an unknown environment he would not easily take risks as he left the water, attempting to leave the lake.

However, just above was a frightening aura that seemed to shroud the entire area, causing the two to feel startled. A huge shadow began to slowly float over, like dark clouds which covered the sky.

Ye Fan felt it difficult to bear as the glow shrouding his body instantly extinguished, the purple clothed lady was almost suffocated as the two were pressured by an immense force, heavily falling back into the lake.

“What is that thing?” Ye Fan was stunned as his powerful divine sense went forth, it was all grey above them as though a huge creature were swimming by.

He was relentless as he carried the purple clothed lady and continued to swim, attempting to once again break out of the lake. However, a similar scene occurred as the space above them began to darken,

Like an impossibly high mountain pressing down, giving one a feeling of suffocation, Ye Fan felt as though he had been smashed by the hammer of Thor, his body trembled as he fell down once again, simply failing to fly any higher.

“What is that thing? Is it even a living thing?” His expression was serious, the situation seemed extremely dire.

The divine energy of the purple clothed female was still sealed, having suffered repeatedly from the frightening pressure, she had fallen unconscious and was leaning against Ye Fan.

“Wake up.” Ye Fan prodded.

“It’s over, we can’t escape.”

The blood had drained from the face of the purple clothed lady, her spirited eyes were filled with terror without a trace of the previous mischievousness.

The huge shadow was like an ancient beast from the primitive past, boundless as it shrouded the entire upper area of the lake making it impossible to fly out. Ye Fan wanted to find the underground river and follow it back but was simply unable to find any trace of it.

“Stop searching, that is a formless river, once one leaves it, there will no longer be any trace of it.” the purple clothed lady sobbed, her expression solemn.

At this moment, the surroudings were sealed with simply no where to run, Ye Fan no longer struggled as he calmed himself down before carefully asking: “What is going on? What kind of place have we found ourselves in and what is the background of the bronze immortal palace?”

The purple clothed lady had a scrunched expression as she blinked: “Wuu……wuu….. I don’t wish to die, I’m so pretty and smart, such a peerless beauty, I haven’t gotten the chance to shine and be known throughout the Eastern Badlands, how could I fall in such a place?”

“Stop wallowing in self pity, quickly speak.” Ye Fan spoke as he rudely pinched her cheeks.

“The bronze immortal palace has appeared several times in history, it’s background is mysterious and no one knows of its past, once a person enters, there is no way to leave alive……” The purple clothed lady sighed.

“Do we really have to die here?” Ye Fan began to feel restless.

“It is the tomb of a peerless expert, each time it appears, it will shake up the entire Eastern Badlands, experts from everywhere will fly like moths to a fire, ignoring everything as they rush forward.

“Why?” Ye Fan was clueless.

“It’s rumoured that this majestic bronze palace was forged by an immortal, with the passing of countless years, the Eastern Badlands no longer seems to have any immortals, those experts who are at the precipice of the road to immortality naturally find it impossible to resist the enticement.

“Ssss”

Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air, this bronze immortal palace had a phenomenal background.

“Speak in more detail.”

The purple clothed lady was still shivering with fear but her emotions had settled as she rubbed her nose: “It has even appeared way back in the primordial times……”

“So ancient……” Ye Fan felt stunned, the bronze palace seemed to be part of the Eastern Badlands boundless past.

“It’s rumoured that it was forged by an immortal, but there is no proof. It has appeared four to five times in the past, burying countless numbers of experts.

Based on the words of the purple clothed lady, the bronze immortal palace was extremely mysterious, this historical remnant could move within the Eastern Badlands, appearing each time in a different area, following the flow of the formless river.

“The rumours may not be true, there must surely be a way to escape.” Ye Fan was in deep thought as he frowned before continuing his line of questioning: “Think carefully, are there any loopholes to make use of?”

“This is all I know. These were all recorded within ancient texts and there wasn’t much material to work with.” Having said this, the purple clothed lady seemed to think of something as she spoke: “It seems that there is a……”

The purple clothed lady had once heard of a rumour, in a certain era when the Eastern Badlands was flourishing, there appeared several exceptional experts, they had worked together, managing to bring a corpse out from within the bronze palace.

“It’s rumoured that it was the corpse of an immortal……”

Ye Fan was startled: “There are really immortals?!”
