Deer-Chasing Sea.
A vast and magnificent radiance spread out from the enormous gate, illuminating half the sky with dazzling light, like thousands of crystal bubbles floating on the surface, shimmering with seven colors under the illumination of the heavenly light.
As the mighty seawater poured down from above, the details on the gate became clearer to the cultivators.
The enormous gate to the water palace was like a piece of sapphire, standing a hundred feet tall and several tens of feet wide. Countless intricate Wenhe and patterns were carved on the gate, including dragons, Kunpeng, giant turtles, and all sorts of strange sea creatures never seen before, all so lifelike that they seemed ready to come to life at any moment.
At the top of the gate, there is a recess, in which a precious pearl is inlaid. Behind the pearl is a dragon relief, winding and flowing, showing the dragon's appearance. The dragon relief holds the pearl, exuding an aura of remoteness and desolation.
"Wait!"
Between Chen Shuangbai eyes, a shimmering light reflected the wondrous entrance to the Grotto-Heaven.
The moment the Water Mansion's gate revealed its true form, a powerful aura spread out in all directions. Low-level cultivators and Demon Cultivator within a radius of hundreds of nautical miles were instantly reduced to ashes, silently merging into the sea.
Those Golden Core True Person and demon kings who were closer and less wary were also not feeling well. They felt their vision go black, their Law Power surged, and they seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"There are restrictions?!"
A Golden Core True Person cultivator clad in a blue robe said solemnly, "All entrances to Grotto-Heaven are protected by extraordinary and mysterious restrictions, precisely to prevent outsiders from stealing."
Chen Shuangbai sighed softly, but there was no trace of sadness in her eyes.
After the Daoist finished speaking, various Law Technique and Divine Ability powers intertwined in front of the gate, forming a dazzling light curtain, accompanied by continuous booming sounds.
This shows how alluring the Grotto-Heaven are to cultivators.
Yue You and Yuan Sheng approached, and Chen Shuangbai, looking at the unshakable, gleaming gate of the Water Mansion, transmitted his voice to them, saying, "I have a Divine Ability that can open an opening in the restrictions of the Water Mansion's gate. If you two wish to go in and take a look, you'd better follow closely!"
That's all.
Chen Shuangbai took a step forward, rising into the air with incredible speed. The light was bluish-white, but its interior was the color of frost and snow, like a wandering ray of light. In an instant, it had already crossed countless seas, and the gate of the Water Mansion was already within reach.
Behind him, Yuan Sheng and Yue You followed closely without hesitation, dispersing the Law Technique and Divine Ability that fell beside them.
But their conspicuousness immediately attracted several pairs of eyes.
Those who can cultivate to the level of Golden Core True Person are all intelligent people. Seeing that they did not dodge or avoid, but went straight for the gate of the Water Mansion, they immediately understood what was going on.
One of the Golden Core cultivators, riding a spirit beast, shouted, "Quickly, knock them down! They probably have a way to break the restriction! They want to be the first to enter the cave abode and seek their fortuitous opportunity!"
In an instant, the Law Technique and Divine Ability that were originally aimed at the gate of the Water Mansion suddenly changed direction and fell from the sky above Chen Shuangbai and the other two.
It fluttered down like a torrential downpour, colorful and dazzling, truly terrifying.
Yuan Sheng and Yue You reacted immediately.
One person clasped his hands together, and two streams of energy, one clear and one turbid, emanated from his body, like dragons and snakes intertwining. In the blink of an eye, they deflected most of the incoming Law Technique and Divine Ability, and then deflected them back.
With a wave of his hand, all the Law Technique and Divine Ability near him snapped and exploded into countless rays of light, leaving only faint, ethereal glows dancing around him.
But that's secondary; most of the attacks were aimed at Chen Shuangbai, who was standing at the front.
Chen Shuangbai was not afraid.
He maintained his escape light, and a flash of blue light appeared in his sleeve. A turquoise-colored light descended and hung above him, transforming into a painted screen.
It is precisely the [ Crimson Palace Gates Return to Perfection Screen ].
As soon as the painted screen appeared, it emitted a soft, azure-green light, like a clear night sky, enveloping Chen Shuangbai within it.
The colorful Law Technique and Divine Ability that landed on the painted screen disappeared silently, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without even a ripple. Instead, they passed through from the other side, as if they had landed on something Liaowu.
"What?!"
"What kind of Law Treasure is that?!"
This is one of the mysteries of this Law Treasure, named [ Light Splitting ].
While the cultivators were still caught off guard, Chen Shuangbai and the other two rushed to the gate of the Water Mansion. Chen Shuangbai pointed his index finger at his brow, and a black-and-white light burst forth from his brow, piercing a small hole in the radiant barrier above the Water Mansion gate.
It was just a small opening, but enough for three Golden Core True Person to pass through.
The three of them entered one after another, plunging in without looking back, disappearing into the even more dazzling light within the portal.
Behind them, the Golden Core True Person and demon kings, seeing that Chen Shuangbai had actually opened the passage to the Water Mansion, were both shocked and furious, and rushed towards the circular gate of light.
But only a few sharp-eyed people followed that opening and plunged in.
Those Golden Core True Person and demon kings who reacted a little slower, or who stood a little further away, could only sigh helplessly as they watched the closing opening, pounding their chests in frustration, yet utterly powerless to do anything about it.
"Damn it! They beat us to it!"
"Who were those three people just now...? How could they possibly break the restrictions on the entrance to this Grotto-Heaven?"
"This is no ordinary person!"
Immediately, various discussions and curses arose one after another.
But in any case, the matter was already settled, and everyone could only use their own Divine Ability or take a slow and steady approach to gradually wear away the restrictions on the gate of the water mansion.
Within the water palace Grotto-Heaven.
As they passed through the narrow entrance, they felt a sudden dizziness, as if they were passing through an invisible curtain of water.
Once they regained their footing and looked closely, the scene before them was breathtaking.
What lay before me was like a small world, far more vast and magnificent than the blessed land.
Below is a vast expanse of Azure Wave sea, the water so clear you can see all sorts of strange corals and seaweeds swaying gently with the waves.
Above, layers of white mist shimmered, converging into dense clouds. Pavilions, towers, and palaces were shrouded in the clouds, rising and falling, resembling a legendary celestial palace.
"This is... the Grotto-Heaven?"
Yue You rarely showed such a foolish or silly expression.
But he wasn't the only one; Chen Shuangbai and Yuan Sheng felt the same way.
