Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#347 - Chapter 346 Inner Palace

On the stone wall at the end of the pit, a door suddenly opened silently, connecting to an open space.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly moved closer to Yuan Shisan and shouted, "Brother Yuan, wake up!"

Yuan Shisan opened his eyes blankly, looked at Zhang Yuanjing, squeaked twice, and conveyed the thought: "Yuanjing, why did you wake me up?"

Zhang Yuanjing didn't have time to explain in detail, pointed to the opposite door, and said, "Go in there first."

After saying that, he took the lead and flew over the stone pit, heading straight into the door. The Blue-Eyed Suanni Beast and Yuan Shisan behind him also followed.

This was a rather beautiful garden. Above was a blue sky dotted with white clouds, as if one were in a mountain forest. However, this was obviously the effect created by a formation. Since this place was a mausoleum, it must be located deep underground in Xue Wang Mountain.

Passing through unknown trees and flowers, they walked out of a winding cobblestone path, at the end of which was a hip-roofed main hall, with more than a dozen other halls and pavilions on the left, right, and rear, grand in scale and covering an area of seven or eight hundred acres.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but shake his head. This was not the "inner hall" of a mausoleum at all, but clearly a Taoist temple.

This made him a little embarrassed, not knowing where to find the right hall and side hall.

The palace directly in front, according to its orientation, was probably the front hall. Generally speaking, the front hall was a place for receiving guests, and probably wouldn't contain any valuable items.

However, this place was ultimately the mausoleum of a cultivator, and this front hall was also the front hall of the so-called inner hall, so there might be some hidden secrets.

Zhang Yuanjing had no great interest in finding treasures, he only hoped to find some clues from it, so as to go to the right hall as soon as possible.

He and the two beasts quickly walked into the main hall. The layout of the hall was as usual. Directly facing the door was a long table, on which was placed an incense burner. Behind the table was a screen. On both sides of the table were eight armchairs, with small tables between the armchairs. Behind the two rows of armchairs were some benches and several bookshelves.

When Zhang Yuanjing was outside the hall, he didn't find anything special when he used his divine sense to investigate. After walking into the hall, he only felt a burst of coldness enveloping him, which, compared to the bright and warm outside the hall, was like two different worlds.

He looked back and was immediately shocked. The blue sky, white clouds, and forest flower paths were all gone, leaving only a piece of darkness.

At this time, he realized that the hall he was in had suddenly become cramped. The walls on all sides were extremely high, but very close to each other, and seemed likely to squeeze together at any moment.

In addition to the door behind him, there were also doors on the other three walls, the left and right ones were in the center, blocked by a bookshelf, and the front door was hidden behind the screen.

Could these be the doors leading to the left hall, right hall, and rear hall?

When he was outside the hall, Zhang Yuanjing saw the palace complex, but after entering the hall, he was not sure whether they were real or not, perhaps just an illusion. If he had not entered this hall, but went straight to the other palaces and pavilions, he would have been trapped in some kind of maze.

However, he was also not sure whether the three doors he saw here led to the left, right, and rear halls, or perhaps to some dangerous place.

He extended his divine sense, but it couldn't pass through the doors at all. In fact, not only was it like this here, but all the way along, wherever there were doors, they restricted the penetration of divine sense.

He turned his head and asked the Blue-Eyed Suanni Beast beside him, but this beast also couldn't see through the situation behind the doors.

However, it still squeaked a few times, saying that it didn't feel any danger hidden inside the doors.

Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the door on the left and asked the Blue-Eyed Suanni Beast to carefully observe it. The conclusion given by this beast was still that it could not sense any obvious danger.

He pondered for a moment. Although he had many doubts about the old man in the statue, he decided to go to the right hall first.

If there really were those materials for refining the Evil-Repelling Umbrella, he might as well collect them first, and then consider whether to act according to the old man's instructions.

He stepped towards the left side, bypassing the armchairs and bookshelves. Seeing that the door was right in front of him, he could never step into it.

He was shocked and stopped.

First, he looked at the door, which had a stone door blocking it, so he couldn't see the situation inside, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Then he turned his head to look at the bookshelf on the side, but immediately saw the problem.

The originally empty bookshelf was now filled with blue-covered, white-paged books, each of which exuded a mysterious and profound aura, and seemed to contain shocking secrets.

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing only needed to reach out his hand to grab a book. Faced with the readily available opportunity, he did not hesitate and raised his hand to pick one out.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Two sharp, warning calls rang in his ears, instantly sobering him up.

He immediately retracted his hand, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Yuanjing, the Suanni Beast said these books have big problems!" Yuan Shisan's thought came.

Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said, "Thanks to the Suanni Beast's reminder, otherwise I would have been tricked!"

The changes on this bookshelf did not exist at first, but only appeared when he approached the door to the right hall, indicating that these changes were a test for those who tried to enter the right hall.

He continued to stride forward, towards the stone door.

No matter how he walked, this short ten-foot distance in front of him seemed to never end.

The items on the bookshelf changed from time to time. Sometimes they were powerful magical treasures, even spiritual treasures, and sometimes they were porcelain bottles filled with elixirs. Just a wisp of their aroma caused Zhang Yuanjing's magic power to stir.

These things were all extremely real, just displayed through illusions. Zhang Yuanjing couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he took them, so he simply closed his eyes and didn't look, only focusing on moving his feet.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yuanjing only felt the surrounding environment change, and he could no longer see the scene in the hall. Instead, he went to a courtyard with a radius of forty or fifty feet.

The courtyard was quiet. There were two tall trees on each side, and the ground was paved with white bricks.

To the north of the courtyard was a slightly dilapidated tall palace, with mottled red walls and incomplete black tiles.

Zhang Yuanjing took a few steps forward, and the palace door suddenly opened, the inside was pitch black, not only could the eyes not see clearly, but also the divine sense could not penetrate.

"Yuanjing, I'll go scout the way."

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing was a little hesitant, Yuan Shisan volunteered, strode forward, and rushed directly into the darkness.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't have time to stop him, so he sent a divine thought to ask him how it was.

However, to his surprise, Yuan Shisan did not respond at all. He sent over several more divine thoughts, but it was still the same.

Was there a teleportation array at the palace door? Or could the restrictions here block the use of all divine soul power?

He pondered for a moment, put the Blue-Eyed Suanni Beast into the spirit beast bag, and then protected himself with the Source Stone, and also stepped into this dark door.

A burst of dizziness, as if he was swept into the sky by a tornado, and then fell heavily.

When he woke up, he was in a long, narrow stone room, nearly a hundred feet long.

It was dimly lit here, filled with ice and cold, and everywhere there were patches of restrictions. The spiritual power inside soared to the sky, and it could be seen at a glance that there were treasures hidden inside.
