Invisible flames and heat currents steamed through the air.
Lu Sheng walked slowly through the mysterious emerald forest, then quietly stopped beneath the broad plaque that gleamed with a faint golden light.
"So this is the Sun God Palace?"
He reached out and touched one of the palace's wooden pillars. A gentle yet unceasing stream of God-Entrusting Power slowly flowed into his palm.
He could sense the vast, ocean-like expanse of countless God-Entrusting Powers behind it. It felt as though he were drawing water from a faucet through a pane of glass, the stream trickling down slowly.
Yet what his eyes saw was the boundless, immense ocean beyond that glass.
In a daze, he gradually came back to himself.
He lowered his hand from the pillar.
Only then did he realize that in that brief instant, he had absorbed roughly two hundred thousand units of God-Entrusting Power. And this was merely a wooden pillar at the entrance of the Sun God Palace.
"Looks like this trip may truly bring great gains."
Lu Sheng raised a leg and slowly stepped through the gate. The heavy wooden doors of the divine palace opened automatically before him, revealing a vast, plain, empty hall within.
At the center of the hall stood a black sculpture of a Three-legged Golden Crow, while statues of various fire-aligned divine beasts and deities lined both sides.
Lu Sheng swept his gaze across them, and it quickly settled on the Vermilion Bird statue.
He waved a hand.
Boom!!
The Three-legged Golden Crow statue abruptly rose into the air and slowly traded places with the Vermilion Bird statue.
Nodding in satisfaction, he finally began to examine his surroundings carefully.
There were no decorations in the hall, only natural wooden grain. These patterns naturally glimmered with threads of mysterious, uncanny fluorescence.
