"Go..." Xu Zhi called out in a low voice, clearly warning Xiao Hua, for Fairy Xingyue's figure had already flashed into the starry sky along with the surge of aura.
Entering the hall gates of Star Moon Palace did not involve much trouble. Xiao Hua merely felt a dense Primordial Chaos aura rushing at him from all corners of the starry sky, leaving his mouth and nose exceptionally refreshed.
"Huff..." Standing amidst the stars and looking at the enormous, convex-shaped star gate behind them, as well as the mottled light and shadows beyond it, Xu Zhi let out a long breath and sighed. "Never has entering Star Moon Palace been as difficult as it was this time!"
"Yes!" Fairy Xingyue looked at the void beneath her feet and the picturesque stars and moon around them. "Perhaps it was too easy before, and we gained nothing. Only after such hardships today might we find the true passage!"
"What was it like before?" Xiao Hua asked tentatively.
In truth, Xiao Hua had long wanted to ask this question. Yet seeing that Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue were unwilling to say much, he understood that although the two immortals trusted him greatly, they still remained somewhat guarded at times. After all, before him, they had learned their lessons. Now they knew of Ancestor Hongmeng, but who knew what had come before Ancestor Hongmeng? Thus, Xiao Hua never pressed them about what they did not wish to say, for he himself had many things he had not explained to the two of them!
"It was not so complicated before," Xu Zhi answered flatly. "As I said before we entered, many phantom hall gates would appear. We merely had to find the correct one, activate the spirit shuttle, and let it locate the proper passage!
