Searching the Void Heaven Hall
Zhang Xuezhou reiterated how the Thousand Islands Alliance's distorted secret realm had been sealed off.
The entrance was sealed off by a massive boulder; even as Tiger Feather traversed the twisted passage, all he could see was a thick, despair-inducing stone wall.
In the twisting and turning, if the path ahead is blocked, it is a dead end.
Zhang Xuezhou wasn't sure if Hu Yu could find another way out, but this was already the limit of what they could do at the moment.
He held the shimmering, multicolored ice crystal gem, his gaze fixed on the Void Palace that still floated high in the sky.
Have you found the zodiac?
Hongjun desired the Void Heaven Palace, while Zhang Xuezhou had no interest in it whatsoever; he wasn't even interested in the World Origin he held in his hands.
The Void Heaven Palace is Houtu's treasure. The world origin in his palm is compatible with Tiger Feather, which is incompatible with his existence. When Ren Anran touches it, it even causes ice crystals to form, making it almost incompatible with them.
If the origin of the world still has any use, it is perhaps more as a piece of evidence to intimidate the fire meteor beings such as the Seven Spiders.
He felt that it would indeed take a very long time for Zhang Xuezhou.
He could wait for the world's origin to recover, and then use the Grain Avoidance Instruction to continuously refine it, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't know when such refinement would show any special effects, or whether it would be too much and cause harm.
He put aside the matter of the world's origin and looked at Ren Anran's yang spirit body beside him.
"It's hiding so well, no one has found it yet!"
"He has done the most research on Void Gold, it's a bit of a pity he can't come and participate in the research!"
The Void Palace that Zhang Xuezhou saw in the void was of limited size, but when this treasure appeared in reality, it was a colossal object covering the entire city of Leya TC, towering in the air like a mirage.
The dust that filled the sky has not yet dissipated, but not a single speck of dust has entered the area where the Void Heaven Palace is located, forming a very clear dividing zone.
Zhang Xuezhou rode the waves and stood on the outer perimeter of the Void Heaven Palace.
Without experiencing it firsthand, Zhang Xuezhou would find it hard to believe that the treasures of such a large city could be released by his divine soul.
This was the largest Law Treasure Zhang Xuezhou had ever seen. It was not only larger than the Mohists's Mechanical City, but also made of rarer materials and had more complex functions.
"That's the pool that generates lightning. Back then, lightning kept gushing out of the pool. I found an opportunity to pull the gate, which stopped the lightning from flowing out. That's the gate over there!"
Ren Anran's Yang Soul Body floated gently into the Void Heaven Palace. When Zhang Xuezhou tried to follow, he simply stepped across the air as if he were treading on thin air.
After a moment's thought, a yang spirit quickly took shape within his body.
Upon stepping on it again, this Yang Soul Body entered the Void Heaven Palace.
It was still the familiar main hall, its structure identical to what Zhang Xuezhou had seen when he entered the void, except that there was now a pool about three zhang long and wide.
The pool was not filled with water, but with constantly churning lightning bolts that rose and fell like liquid, rolling back and forth.
Controlling the Law Treasure was indeed very simple. Zhang Xuezhou only needed to shout "Donghua" and the voice-controlled effect would activate the Void Heaven Palace.
The lightning strikes guided by the Void Heaven Palace only require locking onto the target and pulling the lever to direct the lightning in this pool downwards.
From the perspective of Law Treasure, Zhang Xuezhou found it very amazing.
However, from a scientific perspective, Zhang Xuezhou believes that building a device to release lightning is not difficult.
The reason why the Void Heaven Palace appears so miraculous is largely due to the differences in its construction materials and energy guiding methods.
"How did this thing manage to make me and Hu Yu hallucinate?"
Lightning can be created, but creating illusions is not easy. 'Zhou' used the term 'Heart Demon Lightning Tribulation' to describe this kind of lightning. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Great Demon Heavenly Tribulation was indeed ingenious and worth their research.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Void Heaven Palace, which was pursued by Hongjun, was definitely worth exploring to see if there was anything of value in it.
He managed to retaliate in the Three Realms, but Houtu and Hongjun are not fools. Sooner or later, they will try to control the Void Palace and take away this treasure.
What Zhang Xuezhou needs to do is get ahead of these two things in order to acquire what might be beneficial.
With a quick glance at the Thunder Pool, Zhang Xuezhou swiftly floated into the Void Heaven Palace.
"The jade disc there allows you to see Houtu (the Earth Goddess). Be careful when touching it, lest you suffer a backlash!"
Zhang Xuezhou had previously communicated with Houtu through the jade wall in the main hall, so he obviously wouldn't lift the black curtain on the jade wall beforehand.
Aside from this object that cannot be touched for the time being, the many houses that were previously hidden by the misty colors and darkness are now revealed.
If we consider the gate of the Void Heaven Palace as the entrance to a city, then the interior of the palace represents the various residences within that city.
It's obviously difficult to use Law Treasure that roams freely in the void as a dwelling. Moreover, whether due to limitations or the nature of the Law Treasure itself, it's hard for Zhang Xuezhou and the others to physically enter the Void Heaven Palace, making it extremely unlikely that these houses could be used for habitation.
Zhang Xuezhou knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
The door was pushed open silently, and Zhang Xuezhou glanced around and saw that the room was empty, without any items inside.
"There aren't any here either!"
On the other side, Ren Anran chose an octagonal building. The two of them pushed it open without much effort, but they didn't see anything afterward.
After Zhang Xuezhou walked several dozen meters inside and pushed open another door, he found the room completely empty, with nothing visible inside. This made him realize that the various houses were generally no different.
"Hongjun wouldn't possibly seize that Thunder Pool outside," Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully. "He even disguised himself and came in to spy on us. The Void Heaven Palace must have what he's after!"
"What do you think Hongjun is pursuing?" Ren Anran asked.
"I really don't know what he's after. All I know is that he wants to contact his students, but he keeps running into obstacles," Zhang Xuezhou said. "He also has a Creation Jade Disc... Could it be that this place can recharge the Creation Jade Disc?"
Although Hongjun didn't suffer terribly in the higher-dimensional world, it was indeed frustrating to encounter a situation where the communicator ran out of power.
Moreover, the Creation Jade Disc used for communication by the other party did not run out of power in a year or two, but rather it was difficult to contact the Three Realms for a very long time.
If we consider the Void Heaven Palace as a power bank, Zhang Xuezhou thinks Hongjun has a certain reason to steal Houtu's power bank.
"Your theory is too far-fetched," Ren Anran retorted. "In higher dimensions, Houtu wouldn't be the only one with a power bank. Besides, the one that's hard to charge should be the Creation Jade Disc of the Three Realms, not the one in Hongjun's possession. It's a bit too much for him to steal the Void Heaven Palace just to charge the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables!"
"I was just guessing!"
Zhang Xuezhou replied sullenly.
Not only did Ren Anran find it outrageous, but Zhang Xuezhou also thought the reason was absurd.
He looked at several houses repeatedly before finally entering an empty one.
"Buzz~"
Zhang Xuezhou felt as if his head was being slammed into a giant bell, and then someone outside was ringing the bell, making him see stars.
Just as he was about to retreat, a golden star appeared above his head and transformed into runes, directly explaining the content of a Demon Race cultivation technique.
This is almost similar to the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Demons Stele, but the difference is that it seems that as long as certain conditions are met, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he could very likely instantly possess the abilities recorded in this text.
