Cavern Abyss Palace.
Heiming Gu Du raised his head, looked at the majestic palace gate plaque, and read out the three characters on it.
The palaces were magnificent and majestic, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a celestial city floating in the sky.
The most magnificent hall in the very center is entirely constructed of a pale golden jade, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters. Under the illumination of the luminous pearl in the dome, it radiates a soft and sacred glow.
Da da da.
One after another, streaks of light followed behind and landed in front of the palace gate.
The demon king was also behind them, but he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he looked at the area with an uncertain expression. The Golden Core True Person and Demon Cultivator had similar reactions.
Their cultivation levels were also forcibly suppressed to the Early Golden Core Stage realm by the restrictions within the palace. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, so they stopped fighting each other and instead cautiously observed their surroundings.
"Fellow Xuhong, thank you very much for earlier."
Yuan Sheng walked to Chen Shuangbai's side, cupped his hands in thanks, his face was still a little pale, but his breathing had become much more stable.
The ball of deep blue spiritual water in his hand had been refined to a great extent, emitting a pure and vast water-based Spiritual Qi.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at it and said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yuan, on obtaining the spiritual water."
Yuan Sheng nodded slightly, a hint of amusement on his face, and said, "Happy... well, you could call it happy."
"[ One Origin Heavy Water ] was not found, but by fortuitous opportunity, this [ Slow Nether Profound Water ] was found... Although its grade is not as high as the former, it is still usable."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai's gaze swept over the deep blue spiritual water. He saw that faint, ethereal light flickered within the water, emanating a profound and powerful aura.
"So the trip was worthwhile."
Yuan Sheng nodded, acknowledging this statement.
After expressing his gratitude, Yuan Sheng glanced unfriendly at the demon king in the distance, clad in crimson feathers and with fiery red hair, and secretly transmitted his voice, " Demon King Junyu of Crimson Fire Cave, Demon Cultivator in the Late Golden Core Stage stage."
"I am no match for his bloodline Divine Ability, and I am only able to rely on your help, fellow Daoist."
Chen Shuangbai's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at the Demon King Junyu out of the corner of her eye.
He already had a suspicion, and now, looking again... it turned out to be the ancestor of Wu Jiu...
That's quite a coincidence.
Sensing the gazes of Yuan Sheng and Chen Shuangbai, the Demon King Junyu snorted coldly but did not retaliate.
Clearly, he was also somewhat wary of the cultivation suppression restrictions within the Cavern Abyss Palace and dared not act rashly.
Chen Shuangbai's gaze swept around, and he saw that there were about twenty Golden Core True Person and demon kings who had entered this Cavern Abyss Palace. They were gathered in twos and threes, eyeing each other warily, but no one dared to make the first move.
Everyone understands that in this environment where cultivation levels are suppressed to the same level, making a rash move will only make one a target of everyone's criticism.
"Fellow Xuhong..."
Chen Shuangbai looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yue You suddenly appear out of nowhere, quickly stepping forward, followed by several pairs of malicious eyes. However, seeing that there were also a few people on Chen Shuangbai's side, they did not make any rash moves.
Yue You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed a swordsman who charged forward without hesitation.
But even sword cultivators are afraid of being ganged up on.
He had just found the treasure and seized the opportunity to snatch it, but several Golden Core cultivators chased after him... He almost lost his life here, but luckily the [ Cavern Abyss Palace ] was open.
The three of them huddled together, Heiming Gu Du pretended to be deaf and dumb, putting on an act again. Only Chen Shuangbai knew his identity, so she lied and said that he was a junior of a close friend, and that she would take the opportunity to protect him.
Upon hearing this, Yue You and Yuan Sheng didn't say anything more.
While inquiring about what had happened to the two people after they parted ways, Chen Shuangbai secretly observed the situation of everyone in the hall.
Among those present, the number of Golden Core Demon Kings far exceeded that of Golden Core True Person.
There are thirteen Golden Core Demon Kings, and only eight Golden Core True Person... the rest are just some Foundation Establishment cultivators who don't care about their lives.
Unable to resist the allure of the treasures, yet fearing the Divine Ability of the Golden Core Demon King and the True Person, they could only secretly hide outside the palace, peeking inside and hoping to snag a bargain.
Chen Shuangbai withdrew her gaze and focused her attention on the thirteen Golden Core Demon Kings.
The three demon kings who had recently clashed with him were also among them.
The Demon King Huaguang's crimson eyes seemed to spew forth a venomous fire of hatred, reducing Chen Shuangbai to ashes.
Demon King Moling Mo Jia looked at Chen Shuangbai with a sinister gaze. Beside him were two Golden Core Demon Kings, one of whom was Demon King Shuiying. This demon king dared not look at Chen Shuangbai, only feeling that the crimson crescent moon in his sea of consciousness was still faintly glowing, and wished he could leave on the spot.
The remaining Golden Core Demon King... was much more robust and imposing, clad in a suit of black chainmail, with two horns on his head, exuding an aura of unyielding heroism, and even more so, the domineering aura of a demon overlord.
Chen Shuangbai lowered her eyes slightly, then looked at the last powerful demon king.
It was a demon king dressed in white, with a long, plain white dress, a long and narrow face, and a pair of eyes that seemed to have an icy blue light floating between them. He was surrounded by a faint halo, and two Demon Cultivator gathered behind him, who seemed to be juniors or attendants.
"The three demon kings at the Late Golden Core Stage stage... although they were forcibly suppressed to the Early Golden Core Stage by the restrictions in this Cavern Abyss Palace... a late-stage demon king is still a late-stage demon king. Their domineering aura and disdainful gaze cannot be faked."
The Empty Sword Sect has been at sea for quite some time now. Seeing that the demon kings have all banded together, they sent a telepathic message to Chen Shuangbai and Yuan Sheng, introducing them as follows:
" Demon King Junyu, the Crimson Fire Crow of the Crimson Fire Cave, the most outstanding offspring of that old crow. It is said that the Golden Crow bloodline within him is the purest among all the Crimson Fire Crow. He has a very domineering temperament and is quite at odds with the sea dragons."
"That one with two horns is a sea dragon named the Demon King Canglong... The last one is the master of the Treasure Light Cave, a spirit clam that attained enlightenment. Although his bloodline talent is weak, his methods are quite remarkable. In recent years, he has elevated the Treasure Light Cave, and its status has also increased considerably."
Chen Shuangbai, then raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself, "What a coincidence!"
He possessed a precious pearl, which he had obtained from a Demon Cultivator who had escaped from the Treasure Light Cave.
Looking at it now, it really does seem like the saying goes, "Enemies are destined to meet."
The cultivators inside the hall sized each other up, the atmosphere subtle and tense.
Chen Shuangbai withdrew his gaze, secretly calculating in his heart—if a conflict were to break out later, the ones he would be most wary of would be these three Late Golden Core Stage demon kings.
Despite their cultivation level being suppressed, the Demon Cultivator ' true demonic forms already possess a significant advantage.
Just as he was pondering, the inner gate of the Cavern Abyss Palace suddenly hummed and slowly opened, pouring out a vast amount of spiritual energy.
A surge of boundless inspiration poured forth from the slowly opening door, instantly filling the entire hall.
The spiritual energy was so concentrated that it almost materialized. Taking a breath made one feel that the Law Power within their body had become more active, and even the Golden Core in their Dantian trembled slightly, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy.
In an instant.
The True Person and the demon king rushed in together, fearing that if they were even a step too late, the treasures inside would be lost.
