Chapter 301 In the Hall
Chapter 301 In the Hall
He stretched out his hand and pushed towards the palace gate, but before he touched it, the palace gate slowly opened towards the inside of the palace.
As the door opened, the interior of the palace appeared before our eyes.
The interior space of the palace is extremely vast, with a towering dome that seems to have no end.
Countless huge luminous pearls are inlaid on the dome, emitting soft light, illuminating the entire palace like daylight.
The ground was covered with luxurious golden carpet. With every step I took, I seemed to feel a mysterious power coming from the soles of my feet.
In the center stood a massive fountain, gushing not water but a shimmering aura. The water danced through the air, showering the surrounding jade sculptures, each one a vivid sight, seemingly alive, from majestic beasts to beautiful fairies.
Behind the fountain is a small square with tables and chairs on both sides.
On the square, there are two rows of humanoid soldier puppets, wearing face-covering helmets, black magic armor, and holding huge swords in their hands. These puppets emit powerful spiritual power fluctuations that make people shudder.
Six people are arranged neatly in each row, standing there quietly, as if guarding the core area of the palace.
Looking past the soldiers and puppets, deep in the palace, there is a high platform with a gorgeous throne on it.
The throne is made of golden metal and inlaid with countless precious gems, exuding a majestic aura.
Sitting on the throne was a man in black full body armor emitting a faint glow. In his right hand, he held a precious spear with a sharp silver-white tip and a shiny black body. His left hand was resting on his left knee.
Behind the throne is a huge mural depicting a majestic puppeteer holding a staff in his hand. Surrounded by countless puppets standing respectfully behind him, worshiping the gorgeous woman in front of him.
Small sword, golden gourd, miniature sedan chair, ribbons, gloves and gold rings.
Isn't this the woman who was the master of the Immortal Court and was sealed in the mountain of corpses and the pool of blood?
The Lord of Xuanyuan Heaven, Xuan Lingyun.
"How many years have passed since someone came here again?" Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the temple.
Shi Chen was startled and quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the source of the sound. However, apart from the quietly standing puppets and the throne and murals emitting a mysterious aura, he didn't see any human figures.
"Who is it?" Shi Chen asked vigilantly, secretly gathering spiritual power in his hands, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
"You were able to pass the guard puppet and go to my deputy's palace, and come here unscathed. You are quite powerful. I am the master of this Puppet Palace, King Gongshui." The voice sounded again in the palace.
Shi Chen was slightly startled, then he bowed and said, "Greetings, King Gongshui. I have come here only to explore the source of the strange phenomenon and find a treasure that can regenerate my spiritual roots in order to save the cultivation world. I hope King Gongshui will help me."
After a moment's silence, the voice of the Gongshui King slowly rang out: "Save the cultivation world? There are no strange phenomena here, nor any spiritual roots to continue. I only have the inheritance of my puppet development. Do you want to obtain it?"
"Sorry! I have no intention of obtaining the inheritance of puppet development. In that case, I'll take my leave!" Shi Chen said decisively after hearing the answer from King Gongshui.
Shi Chen turned to leave, but just after taking a few steps, the deep voice rang out again, "Young man, wait a minute. Now that you've come here, why leave in such a hurry? There are many opportunities in this world, and not only what you seek are valuable. If you can obtain my puppet inheritance, perhaps it will be of assistance to you one day in the future."
Shi Chen stopped, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "King Gongshui, it's not that I'm ungrateful, but the reason I came here this time was to explore the anomaly, find the origin of this world, and find something to continue my spiritual roots. I don't have either here, so I need to continue searching elsewhere. I really can't afford to waste time."
"The origin of the realm? You want to find the origin? This is not easy to find." King Gongshui said in surprise.
"Do you know the origin?" Shi Chen quickly asked, "How can we find the origin of the realm?
"I know something." King Gongshui said hummingly.
Shi Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and said anxiously, "I hope King Gongshui can give me some advice."
The Gongshui King was silent for a moment, as if gathering his thoughts, and then he slowly said, "If you want to get information about the origin, you must first get past my twelve guards."
Shi Chen was slightly startled, then said: "King Gongshui, I believe these twelve guards are extremely powerful, and it will not be easy to get through."
The voice of the Gongshui King came: "You have to see your own ability!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier puppets in the palace square moved together, grabbed the giant swords in front of them, performed a sword flower in unison, and then turned to face Shi Chen.
The powerful spiritual power fluctuations emitted by these soldier puppets made him realize that their strength was equivalent to that of the late stage of fusion. Shi Chen could easily deal with one or two soldier puppets, but with these twelve together, it seemed that it would be a difficult battle.
The leading puppet launched the first attack. Its body moved like lightning, instantly crossing a distance of several feet, and the huge sword in its hand slashed towards Shi Chen with fierce momentum. Shi Chen dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The giant sword slashed on the ground with a loud bang, and a deep crack was cut on the golden carpet.
After a breath, the floor and carpet began to recover, and in less than three breaths, they were back to normal.
The other puppets also sprang into action, some swinging their swords straight ahead, some slashing sideways, attacking Shi Chen from different directions. Shi Chen took a strange step, weaving in and out of the gaps between the puppets' attacks, while gathering spiritual power in his hands, ready to find an opportunity to counterattack.
Shi Chen seized the opportunity when a puppet attacked and quickly swung a spiritual palm print at the puppet. However, the puppet reacted extremely quickly and immediately raised its giant sword to block.
The palm print collided with the giant sword, making a dull sound. The puppet just took a step back and then rushed forward again.
They have powerful attack power and are swift. Their giant swords are imbued with spiritual power, and they work together to hide their flaws, making them very tricky to deal with.
Shi Chen fled from the distance and realized that simple spiritual attacks had limited effect on these puppets. It seemed that he could only use the reverse rune, perhaps using it to disrupt the puppets' spiritual power and find a breakthrough.
While dodging the puppet's attacks, Shi Chen quickly drew reverse runes in the air.
When a puppet rushed towards him again, he dodged the attack sideways and slapped the reverse rune towards the puppet's body.
The moment the rune touched the puppet, the puppet's movements became noticeably jerky.
A soldier puppet next to him attacked with a big sword, and Shi Chen, who wanted to pursue the victory, had to escape.
The reverse rune worked. As long as he continued to do this and deal with the puppets, injecting the reverse rune into the soldier puppets would eventually paralyze them all.
