We bear people have power

That black circle was naturally the spatial passage created by Guan Bo controlling the Void-Slaying Insects. He was terrified by the fairy in green; the power of those three feathers was too great for him to handle.

Although Guan Bo still possesses the trump card of the Shadowless Divine Thunder, which is incredibly powerful and completely silent, he could absolutely cripple or even kill the fairy in green with a single blow if he had the intention to catch her off guard.

However, the Shadowless Divine Thunder consumed too much energy. Even though Guan Bo had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he could only use it twice before exhausting all his mana.

You should know that there were hundreds of fairies chasing him just now. Even if this fairy in green was the strongest one, Guan Bo didn't think that all the others combined could not compare to her.

Therefore, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!

This illusion array is too powerful. Guan Bo felt that he had no way to get through it for the time being, so he might as well go back to Sicklehammer City and think of another way.

The spatial passage of the Void-Slaying Insect was a hundred miles long, but for Guan Bo, it was only a blink of an eye. He flew out of the passage, thinking he could return to the vicinity of Mount Taiyue and then fly directly back to Sickle Hammer City.

To Guan Bo's surprise, when he came out of the spatial passage, it seemed that he had not escaped the maze, but instead arrived in front of a palace.

"Kunlun Hill? That's an interesting name for the palace," Guan Bo said, examining the plaque in front of the palace's main entrance.

Guan Bo looked around. There was no one guarding the palace, but it was magnificent and imposing. The main gate alone was towering into the clouds, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could build.

Guan Bo touched the pillars of the archway; they were warm to the touch, and their surface was smooth and lustrous, clearly carved from a single piece of fine jade. Judging by its height, that cloud must have been hundreds of feet high.

Such jade is probably unique in the world.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, he heard a clear and melodious cry. Guan Bo looked up and saw that the giant bluebird had appeared in the distant sky.

"They're like a persistent ghost!" Guan Bo cursed.

Knowing he was far slower than the bluebird, Guan Bo charged headlong into the palace. He figured that no matter how fast the bird was, it wouldn't be able to use its advantage indoors. If Guan Bo found a relatively narrow space, it would leave the bird with nowhere to hide and force it to face the power of the Ruyi Divine Weapon head-on.

"There's nothing in this world that can't be solved with one hammer blow; if there is, then two blows will do the trick!"

With this in mind, Guan Bo barged into the palace.

To Guan Bo's surprise, the bluebird seemed to have no intention of entering the palace. It just kept circling outside the archway, but dared not cross the line.

"Could this palace be the key to the illusion array?" Guan Bo was secretly delighted. He ignored the bluebird and headed deeper into the palace.

As Guan Bo disappeared into the palace, the giant bluebird transformed back into human form and cursed at Guan Bo viciously: "This foolish monster dared to trespass into Kunlun Hill and disturb the Empress's seclusion. He truly has no sense of mortality."

The fairy in green was convinced that Guan Bo was definitely dead, so she left the archway without looking back and went to tell her other sisters the good news.

Guan Bo was unaware that he had entered an extremely dangerous place. He only felt that the palace was magnificent and luxurious, a place of great wealth. However, judging from the decorations, it was overly feminine and did not resemble the residence of an emperor; rather, it had a somewhat womanly air about it.

"Could this palace be inhabited by the eighth female Mirage Dragon of the Jing River Dragon King?" Guan Bo thought this guess was quite plausible. If he could find the Mirage Dragon's location, he should be able to break the illusion.

At this moment, Guan Bo was unaware that he had not stumbled into an illusion, but into the real Yaochi Holy Land, and that the Kunlun Hill Palace was the palace where the Queen Mother of the West, the head of all female immortals in the world, resided.

As Guan Bo continued forward, he encountered no one, only layers of pavilions and towers, and winding corridors. Had Guan Bo not left marks along the way, he would likely have gotten lost in this palace.

Fortunately, this place doesn't have the various restrictions and spells that bewitch people, unlike the Tushita Palace. It's just that it's ridiculously large, making it quite inconvenient to find someone.

Guan Bo didn't know how far he had gone, but he knew he was getting closer and closer to the center of the palace. Because the once silent palace began to emit faint howling sounds, like the roar of tigers and leopards, or the wailing of a gale sweeping across the mountains.

Guan Bo immediately flew towards the sound. The lotus platform was extremely fast, and in an instant, it arrived at the location of the whistling sound.

It was a huge room, with the door alone measuring thousands of feet in width and height. It didn't look like a gate, but more like a wall that isolated the world.

Behind that large door, a deafening roar erupted, like thunder from the heavens, making Guan Bo's ears ring. Even a slight approach made Guan Bo feel his heart and internal organs tremble violently.

The hurricane made the door rattle loudly, and with each gust of wind, a crack in the door opened and closed, and the gap that was exposed was more than ten feet wide.

Guan Bo witnessed firsthand how countless gusts of wind surged out of the crevice, tearing countless wounds into the jade-paved ground. After blowing for several hours, the wind would subside slightly, then generate a powerful suction force that would draw away all the broken pieces of jade.

If it weren't for the protective barriers constantly repairing the ground, it would probably have been completely destroyed in no time.

Guan Bo swallowed hard. This place looked quite dangerous. But after walking around the palace for so long, this was the only unusual place. The key to breaking the deadlock probably lay here.

Guan Bo waited patiently for a long time and then discovered that the hurricanes in this place were regular, changing from strong winds to huge suction forces in about twelve hours, or one day.

Each breath, whether inhaled or exhaled, follows the rhythm of human breathing. However, both inhalation and exhalation last for twelve hours. But what creature in this world takes two days to breathe? That breath is far too long.

Guan Bo seized a moment when there was a pause in breathing and rushed through the huge crack in the door. Fearing there might be danger inside, Guan Bo first used his Ruyi Divine Weapon to create a shield in front of him before setting up his lotus platform and rushing in at top speed.

However, he found that he had bumped into something incredibly hard as soon as he entered the door, which left Guan Bo feeling completely disoriented.

When Guan Bo got up from the ground, he realized that he had bumped into a white wall.

"Are you crazy? There's a wall behind the door? Who the hell designed the house like this? Isn't this a rip-off?" Guan Bo shouted.

However, the next moment, his breath shifted, and a gale arose, transforming into countless wind blades that attacked. Guan Bo hurriedly raised the shield formed from his Ruyi Divine Weapon to block it. The gale blades scraped across the surface of the purple-gold shield, generating countless sparks.

The Ruyi Divine Weapon groaned in despair; even with its formidable sturdiness, it couldn't withstand the onslaught of the fierce winds. Guan Bo hurriedly poured a large amount of magical power into the Ruyi Divine Weapon, but it was to no avail. It was directly blown away by the winds and flew out again through the crack in the door.

He rolled on the ground hundreds of times until he crashed into the wall and regained his balance. Staggering to his feet, Guan Bo nearly vomited bile.

Having finally calmed down, Guan Bo sighed, "We have to wait another day."

He took out a communication orb from his pocket. He had been in this illusion for quite some time, so he thought he would let the city of Sicklehammer know that he was safe and to inquire about the situation of the incorporation of the Kingdom of Wuji.

But before he could even speak, the colossal gate, a thousand feet tall, slowly opened before him.
