Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 776: Colorful Qi Confused the Mind

"Crash..."

The real water surged around it, and the golden-armored statue spun around with it, hitting the "wall" one after another, and could no longer be in its previous state.

Not long after, there was a loud bang, and the golden light of the statue trapped inside dimmed completely, and it disappeared like smoke. When it reappeared, it was already on the side of the palace gate.

"Tsk tsk tsk... A fourth-level perfect warrior was destroyed by a single blow from fellow Daoist!"

Dragon Son Ao Yun regained his human form and couldn't help but praise him: "Not only is your cultivation level undetectable, but now even your water skills are undetectable. Fellow Daoist Chen is truly gaining more and more admiration from me..."

Most of the original power of the golden armor statue was consumed by him alone, but in the end it praised him so much.

Chen Mu's heart was moved. How could he not see that Ao Yun was intentionally complimenting him?

If someone else did this, he might think that the person was trying to "roast him on the fire."

But Ao Yun is a straightforward person, and probably wouldn't think too much. He probably praised him so much just to make friends with him.

"It seems that even Longzi needs to seek allies in situations like this..."

Chen Mu's thoughts stopped and he smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist Ao, thank you for your praise."

Ao Yun also smiled, not knowing that his thoughts had been seen through by Chen Mu. He was still secretly thinking about how to cooperate with Chen Mu.

"If I had known earlier that there was a fortune lotus pond on this trip, why would I need help from others?"

He sighed secretly, did not give up any opportunity, and moved closer to Chen Mu to chat casually.

Let's see how the battle situation of the East China Sea cultivators is going. It will take some time to break through.

Although Ao Yun and his companions were anxious, they were not so anxious as to waste their own mana to help those who might become their competitors in the near future...

In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed before the surging inspiration in the field finally subsided.

Liu and Li looked at the two golden-armored statues that had lost their charm and returned to the ranks, and heaved a deep sigh.

At this time, the sun and the moon were shining in the sky, and a ray of golden light pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, and billowing rays of light sprayed out, instantly coating the place.

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and they felt that the atmosphere was refreshed, as if it was a foreshadowing that they would continue their long journey with the help of the "Lotus Pond of Creation"!
"Fifth Prince, Fellow Daoist Chen..."

A surge of heroic spirit suddenly emerged, and they waved their hands: "The thirty-six palace gates are open. If we don't enter now, when will we enter?"

Liu and Li gestured with their hands, seemingly going with the flow, but in fact they had their own plans in mind.

There has been no record of the Thirty-Six Palaces for a long time, and there is no guarantee that there will not be any unexpected situations. Therefore, it is appropriate to let the Zhongzhou side and Ao Yun test it first.

But Chen Mu and Ao Yun didn't fall for his trick. After exchanging a few glances, Ao Yun said with a smile, "Daoist friends Liu and Li have always been vying for first place. Why are you being so humble now?"

He paused, then continued, "In my opinion, it would be best for us to advance and retreat together. Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think?"

Seeing that he had seen through their little trick and still took a step back, Liu and Li were delighted. How could they dare to refuse? They nodded and said, "It's only right. We'll do as the prince says!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed out loud, and there was really a feeling of everyone being happy.

But if you observe carefully, you can sense that the atmosphere is already tense...

The palace gates were wide open, and the fairy clouds were shrouded in mist, preventing everyone from exploring their spiritual consciousness in advance.

"please!"

Four people from three parties took the lead, followed by everyone else.

Nearly twenty Nascent Soul cultivators marched through the long archway. After walking about a hundred steps, they turned right, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

The sea of ​​clouds rises and falls, and a magnificent gilded palace stands right in front of you, with glazed golden tiles shining brightly.

It is symmetrical on both sides, with corridors on all four sides, and is exquisitely carved everywhere. It has a treasure pavilion and a jade platform, three eaves and four clusters, with dragons and phoenixes flying on each layer.

As the saying goes, a day of auspiciousness and a thousand rays of light. Even though people are used to the majesty of the Immortal Palace, they still can't help but be surprised.

"This...is this the Thirty-Six Palaces?"

"There is only one palace here, not a group of palaces..."

"It doesn't look dangerous."

Everyone murmured, but in tacit understanding, they all sent out their spiritual senses.

For a moment, invisible thoughts came in uninvited and rushed into the golden palace.

But within a moment, their expressions changed again, and they cried out in surprise: "No?!"

Liu and Li no longer cared about the danger they had feared before, and they jumped up and flew away.

Chen Mu and the others looked at each other, frowned, and followed.

The distance between the two places was less than ten thousand feet, but everyone felt as if they were flying thousands of miles away, their minds were ups and downs, and they were all concentrated on this moment.

"No, there really isn't..."

Liu and Li, who arrived first, looked dazed and looked around at the empty Golden Palace.

Not only was there no lotus pond, but the entire hall, apart from a carved throne at the top, was completely empty...

"Damn it! We were actually tricked by the demon cultivator!"

Wei Mingde yelled and cursed, but even so he couldn't dispel the anger in his heart. His face turned red and he muttered to himself, but he was ready to turn around and fight a big battle with the demon cultivator.

Li Jianyi and Yaoguang were much calmer, perhaps having anticipated this. They only sighed, "Greed has blinded my eyes and ears. I will remember this lesson well in the future..."

Apart from them, the expressions of the others were different.

Most of the cultivators in the East China Sea were dejected, as if their energy and spirit had been sucked away by demonic creatures in an instant.

The silver-haired old woman looked even older, and her cloudy eyes were looking at the thousand-eyed insect beast in her hand that was already showing signs of death.

After a brief trance, Liu and Li reluctantly circled around the golden palace, especially the conspicuous throne, where they lingered for a long time.

As for the dragon son Ao Yun, his expression was extremely cold, with a cold light in his eyes and a hint of murderous intent.

Chen Mu looked around calmly, and finally landed on Taoist Jiumo without a sound.

"Fellow Daoist Jiu Mo..."

He spoke softly so as not to alert the others who had different thoughts.

Taoist Jiumo looked calm and followed the sound. "Did Fellow Daoist Chen find anything?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "I'm just a little curious, why are you so calm..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Mingde and the other two turned their heads to look at each other, some were calm, some were surprised, and some were equally curious.

Taoist Jiu Mo was startled, then laughed out loud: "What other reason could there be? It's just that whether the Immortal Pond exists or not has nothing to do with me."

"If it doesn't matter, why should I pretend to be disappointed?"

With a smile in his eyes, he looked quietly at Chen Mu and the other three.

The place fell silent for a moment.

"Transparent!"

At this moment, Wei Mingde suddenly praised him, then sighed with a look of self-deprecation, "On this point, I am not as open-minded as you, fellow Taoist."

"Come to think of it, even if the Fortune Lotus Pond really exists, does it definitely belong to me? I, a cultivator of the fourth level of Strength, am actually so distracted by such an uncertain opportunity. I am truly unworthy of being a Taoist disciple of Central Continent!"

Not satisfied with insulting himself, he turned and pointed at the East China Sea cultivators who had lost their composure: "They are the same. The demonic cultivators only made a little stunt, and they made a fuss that we all heard about it. Then they rushed in like a swarm of bees, without even thinking..."

Yaoguang pursed her lips as she listened, and interjected, "Fellow Daoist Wei, do you still think they were the ones who spread the news of the Lotus Pond to Zhongzhou?" "Isn't it them?"

Wei Mingde shook his head: "If it weren't for them, why would the demon cultivators lure us here?"

Yaoguang frowned slightly and sighed: "Then we don't know..."

Chen Mu's eyes moved, and he suddenly walked towards the throne in the hall.

Also setting off at the same time as him was the dragon son Ao Yun, who felt that he had been fooled and suffered a great humiliation.

Wei Mingde and the others said nothing more and moved forward together.

The throne has a five-panel backrest with a central carved backrest and three inexplicable patterns on both sides. It is huge in size, and every part with patterns has an indescribable beauty that looks natural.

The group watched silently for a moment, and then Wei Mingde spoke first, frowning and asking, "Brother Dao, have you found anything?"

Chen Mu shook his head, but Fairy Yaoguang spoke slowly: "Looking at the placement of this seat, I think it should be the seat of the master of the fairy palace."

Ao Yun nodded: "This is the most majestic thing I have ever seen in my life. It must belong to an immortal."

Hearing this, Wei Mingde couldn't help but reached out and touched it.

"It's something from an immortal. I wonder if there are any hidden mechanisms or secrets..."

Chen Mu and the others did not stop them. In fact, Liu and Li had already searched the seat from top to bottom just now.

After a moment, Wei Mingde stopped moving with a flick of his sleeves, muttering, "It seems there really isn't anything mysterious here. No wonder there's no such thing as a Chongxian Palace. I'm afraid it must have been plundered by some senior thousands of years ago..."

Ao Yun and others pondered in silence, knowing that his guess was very likely.

After a while, Liu and Li also stopped and sighed, shaking their heads: "What a waste of effort, what a waste of effort."

At this point, they also calmed down and looked at Chen Mu and the others and said, "The demon cultivators made up lies to get us out of the way so that they can plunder the Immortal Palace's opportunities."

"As for you fellow Daoists, I guess the demonic cultivators are spreading rumors to lure you here in order to disrupt the situation..."

Wei Mingde sighed, "You all know it too late. What's the point of saying this now?"

Li Chengyue's eyes darkened and he snorted angrily, "How could there be none? The demon cultivators made countless calculations, but they didn't anticipate this one thing!"

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

"They overestimated the golden armored statues guarding the Thirty-Six Palaces, and underestimated our strength."

"We still have ten days until we leave. If we take advantage of the situation and attack, we will be completely unprepared!"

"In this way, not only can we turn defeat into victory, but we can also make the opportunity they have worked so hard to plunder ours our own. Isn't that wonderful?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, as if he could no longer resist the urge to fight the demon cultivator.

"it is good!"

Wei Mingde laughed out loud: "Daoyou, this is a brilliant idea. Count me in!"

Li Chengyue nodded heavily, then looked at Ao Yun and the others: "What do you think?"

Ao Yun swung his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "I have been practicing Taoism for more than two hundred years, and no one has ever dared to deceive me!"

The meaning was self-evident. Liu Bohong was delighted, thinking that by bringing the Dragon Palace team on board, his chances of winning would greatly increase.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Chen?"

For a moment, everyone present looked at Chen Mu and the others.

After exchanging glances with Yaoguang, Li Jianyi said in a voice transmission, "Brother Chen, are you willing to take action to slay the demon?"

Chen Mu heard the two men's intentions and wanted to ponder them for a while, but for some reason he also had an impulse: "The evil demons outside must be killed by everyone!"

The sound is loud and clear, and it spreads throughout the place in an instant!
Liu and Li were suddenly in high spirits, and Ao Yun laughed out loud: "Fellow Daoist Chen, today I will fight alongside you!"

"go!"

A loud shout was heard, and everyone strode away.

The throne was getting farther and farther away, while the palace door was getting closer and closer.

Chen Mu walked slower and slower, his brows furrowed, and suddenly he realized something was wrong.

Why did Liu and Li get so much support?
Why are they so eager to fight?

Why did he, who always acts cautiously, respond so decisively this time?
……

A series of questions floated in his mind. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his forehead. When he felt a trace of moisture, he found that he was sweating coldly, which was rare.

"wrong!"

Just at this moment, his soul suddenly felt a throbbing, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"There's something wrong with that throne!"

He stopped suddenly and looked back.

The throne, which had not changed at all, was now continuously emitting wisps of colorful energy!
Just by looking at it from a distance, Chen Mu immediately felt dizzy and his emotions were suddenly magnified thousands of times.

He bit the tip of his tongue, not bothering to identify what this energy was, and shouted a warning: "Hold your breath, concentrate, and guard the spirit platform!"

The sound was like thunder, but the strange thing was that the people in front seemed to be unaware of it and continued to stride forward with high spirits.

Leaving the hall is an act of being confused. Chen Mu knew without thinking that once everyone left the hall, something unexpected would happen.

Just as he was about to step out of the hall, he spoke with such eloquence that he took a deep breath and stood up again, intending to stop them before they left the hall.

But at this moment, a gray-robed figure in the array in front trembled all over, then stopped, as if he had also woken up.

"There's something different about the throne! There's something different about the throne!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, then quickly retreated.

Just at this moment, Chen Mu arrived, and he stood right in front of the road.

Chen Mu's eyes turned cold, without avoiding at all, he raised his finger and a bolt of lightning struck down!
Thunderclaps echoed throughout the field. The gray-robed figure finally noticed and quickly dodged, shouting angrily, "Fellow Daoist Chen, why did you attack me?!"

Without waiting for Chen Mu to answer, Ao Yun and his group took the last step.

"call……"

A burst of colorful wind swirled up, and everyone's figures disappeared without a trace...

The gray-robed figure exclaimed in shock upon seeing this: "What's going on?"

In the huge golden palace, there were only two of them left...

Chen Mu's expression was gloomy. He waved his hand to disperse the Taoist magic that he had not yet used, and asked in a cold voice, "Fellow Daoist Jiumo, why are you stopping me?"

The grey-robed figure was none other than Taoist Jiumo. Hearing this, he seemed to suddenly realize something: "Fellow Daoist, you just attacked me. It turns out you were..."

Before he could finish his words, he stamped his foot, sighed, and said in anger, "I am the one who has harmed all of you fellow Taoists!"

Every word and gesture showed his deep shame...

Chen Mu watched him perform quietly until he paused. Only then did he regain his composure and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Jiumo, what exactly is your purpose in coming here?"

"Or, I should call you fellow Daoist, Yunsu Sanren..."
