The further Lin Yu walked along the path, the clearer his understanding of the history of the Twelve True Palaces became.
Although that important figure wished no one had seen what was happening before him, what he hated most was not humanity, but greedy humanity.
It was those outsiders who destroyed the Twelve True Palaces in one fell swoop.
Lin Yu just couldn't understand why such a great figure, who was able to establish the Twelve True Palaces, could destroy them without any problem.
Even so, that elusive and powerful figure did nothing else but confine the cultivators of the Lineage to this land.
"Perhaps that great figure considered that if things continued this way, those villains would only pollute the outside world, so he confined them all within the Twelve True Palaces."
Without a doubt, that important figure is the absolute ruler of the entire Twelve Palaces.
As for those arrogant cultivators from the Lineage, they are nothing more than parasites living here, dispensable beings who are merely borrowing the prestige of that important figure.
As Lin Yu thought this, he walked along the path of the Twelve True Palaces.
Although Lin Yu's mindset was constantly changing, the scene in his eyes remained calm and inviting.
"Unfortunately, no matter how nice this place is, the Primordial Hall is still more suitable for me," Lin Yu sighed.
The scenery of the Twelve True Palaces is truly beautiful. If an ordinary cultivator were to enter, they would probably be tempted to settle down here.
Even if some more powerful cultivators entered this place, they would probably want to live in seclusion here.
Unfortunately, Lin Yu already had the Hongmeng System before that.
For Lin Yu, everything that the Primordial Hall and the Hongmeng System brought him was true paradise.
Perhaps the various aspects of the Twelve True Palaces seem very good, but for Lin Yu, they are still somewhat lacking.
Without Haoyue Shen, Xu Ziyue, or Little Purple, the place felt somewhat empty to Lin Yu.
After walking for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Yu found that the scenery in front of him had not changed. Just as he was about to return the way he came, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
A vast expanse of pink peach orchards suddenly appeared before Lin Yu's eyes.
Lin Yu seemed to have finally reached the end of the path. Looking at the peach trees that resembled fiery clouds at sunset, Lin Yu thought that perhaps those transparent butterflies lived in this peach grove.
No wonder these transparent butterflies are completely uninterested in pollen; these peach trees are already the finest of the finest.
Just by being there, Lin Yu could feel the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Strange Forest is several times that of the Netherworld Immortal Realm, and the spiritual power in this peach grove is several times that of the Strange Forest outside. One can imagine how concentrated the spiritual power is.
Seeing the open space before him, Lin Yu didn't hesitate, turned around, and went straight inside.
Compared to the lush greenery and rare natural treasures outside, this peach grove appears much more rustic.
Although the peach tree was laden with fruit, there were no transparent butterflies to be seen.
As Lin Yu pondered this, he realized that he had unknowingly passed through the peach grove.
The scene beside him returned to its original state: countless rare and precious herbs, winding paths, and lush green plants.
Continuing along the path, Lin Yu soon caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance.
That was a well.
The water in the well was crystal clear, and the bottom of the well could be seen completely.
Lin Yu looked down and discovered that the transparent butterflies were actually growing inside the well.
Under the sunlight, the wings of those transparent butterflies shimmered, but their bodies were no longer as solid as Lin Yu had seen them before; instead, they were like flowing water.
"These transparent butterflies were actually created from well water!" Lin Yu thought in surprise, realizing that he hadn't noticed this at all.
If that's true, then wouldn't the well water also possess the same abilities as a transparent butterfly?
Thinking this, Lin Yu couldn't help but reach out and scoop up a handful of clear well water.
"Buzz..."
However, the moment Lin Yu touched the well water, he discovered that, just like the bodies of those transparent butterflies, the well water could not be touched by outsiders.
The well water was right in front of Lin Yu, but when Lin Yu reached out his hand, it passed right through the water without touching anything at all.
"How domineering! These transparent butterflies can freely land on any lush grass or tree, but neither people nor other living beings, nor wind, frost, rain, or snow, will have any real impact on these little butterflies."
"It can hover over anything, yet cannot be grasped by anything, and possesses a natural ability to heal itself—truly extraordinary!"
Lin Yu sighed again, but his gaze towards the transparent butterflies changed.
With so many attributes stacked on these little butterflies, does it mean that these butterflies are the true rulers of this strange forest?
Although he couldn't touch the transparent butterflies, Lin Yu's mental energy could flow freely in the well water.
Lin Yu used his spiritual power to investigate and discovered that the transparent butterflies actually lived in the well water like swimming fish. In the water, they did not look like butterflies, but rather like some kind of peculiar jellyfish.
To test the waters and satisfy his curiosity, Lin Yu withdrew his spiritual power and used the power of Origin Technique as a blade to cut a wound on his palm.
Crimson blood gushed from Lin Yu's palm and dripped into the well.
The transparent butterflies, after sensing Lin Yu's blood, began to move closer to the surface of the well water.
Just moments ago, Lin Yu had already discovered that although the well looked shallow, it was actually over a thousand meters deep and only nurtured those transparent butterflies.
"These butterflies are no different from well water; they have no physical form at all."
As if to confirm Lin Yu's thoughts, Lin Yu's blood dripped into the well water, but instead of spreading, it simply disappeared.
Not a trace of blood was left; it was completely absorbed by the transparent butterflies before it even fully dissolved in the water.
"Buzz..."
A slight tremor ran through the area, and the butterflies burst out of the water, their wings growing considerably larger in an instant, flying straight towards Lin Yu's wound.
