Chen Jiuyang felt as if his avatar had fallen into a black hole, losing all contact the moment it entered, as if swallowed by some terrifying existence.
This made Chen Jiuyang think of beings like Princess Shile.
"Something is not right..." Chen Jiuyang said solemnly. "Disappearance, devouring, forgetting, this ghoul before me..."
He took a deep breath and said, "At least three primordial great dao powers exist in this place."
Bai Riyue's eyes rolled. "Is there a possibility..."
"When it rains, it devours from mortals. When the rain stops, the ghoul appears. So, now that the rain has stopped, is it safer for mortals to enter this palace?"
Qi Wushuang's eyes immediately lit up. "There is a possibility."
"We'll know if we try," Luo Xingchen nodded slightly, and his Dao power avatar immediately moved towards the first layer of the ship behind him.
A moment later, Luo Xingchen's expression turned slightly joyful. "As expected, now that the rain has stopped, my Dao power avatar can leave this ship."
Qi Wushuang and Bai Riyue immediately exchanged glances. Qi Wushuang said, "Since that's the case, Brother Bai and I will leave here and continue to search for our own Dao fruit powers in a different direction."
The two of them had boarded this ship to escape their Dao fruits. Now that they were sure they could leave the ship, they naturally had no reason to stay longer.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slightly. "That's fine. Brother Qi and Brother Bai, take care."
Qi Wushuang and Bai Riyue slowly nodded, then they both rushed towards the outside of the ship and disappeared in an instant.
Chen Jiuyang and Luo Xingchen's Dao fruit powers were on this ship, so they could not leave.
And while the few people were talking, Wu Shuang'er had, at some unknown time, crossed the stairs and stood at the entrance of the palace.
Chen Jiuyang and Luo Xingchen both felt a strange sense of unease.
Now, Wu Shuang'er's peculiarity was finally revealed. It was incredible that there was an ordinary mortal in the Nine Nether Myriad Tombs.
Wu Shuang'er stood at the entrance of the palace, turned around, and waved to Chen Jiuyang and Luo Xingchen. "I see my home."
Chen Jiuyang and Luo Xingchen exchanged glances. "Perhaps with this person paving the way, it is the cause of our Dao power this time."
"I also feel it's not a coincidence. If she leads the way before the rain, we should be safe."
Then the two of them immediately crossed the stairs and headed towards the palace.
Standing at the entrance of the palace, the scene before them made the two of them stunned.
The palace seemed to be built on an island. Inside the palace, they could see the scene on the other side: a vast sea bathed in blue, abundant light. Further ahead was a bustling island market filled with people.
"Drip!"
Suddenly, Chen Jiuyang heard the sound of raindrops and frowned. "It's going to rain again."
"We can only continue forward."
The three of them hurried and walked directly towards the other end of the palace.
In an instant, it was as if they were in another world. They stood before a palace on a small island.
Looking back, it was like an endless abyss, with the eerie sound of pouring rain and the wailing of ghost winds, which meant that the strange power had started again.
Luo Xingchen's face lit up. "Brother Chen, I have a feeling, a direction guiding me." With that, Luo Xingchen flew forward and quickly disappeared.
But Chen Jiuyang vaguely felt something was wrong.
Wu Shuang'er, standing before the palace, was bathed in sunlight, but her body twitched strangely, her expression filled with pain and confusion. "It seems like it's not the first time..."
Chen Jiuyang immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Wu Shuang'er's expression was pained. "Wasn't I just going to get medicinal herbs to go home? Where are the herbs? Where are the people? Where is home?"
"It seems... everyone is dead..."
Chen Jiuyang felt that Wu Shuang'er was not right. Wu Shuang'er suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Jiuyang and said, "Brother Chen, I remember..."
"I ran away from home with people to get medicinal herbs outside because I didn't want to marry someone, and I wanted to do business myself..."
Just as Chen Jiuyang was about to speak, he was suddenly startled. The weather before his eyes had changed in an instant. The sky was dark and overcast, lightning flashed, and heavy rain fell, stirring up huge waves on the sea.
Chen Jiuyang's expression suddenly froze. Who was he talking to just now?
Was he talking to someone? Was he talking to himself?
He vaguely felt that he had just grasped a clue.
But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember.
"Wait a moment, I need to sort this out..."
"I came out of the ghost city, arrived at the riverbank south of the city, boarded the Du You ship, and met Qi Wushuang, Bai Riyue, and Luo Xingchen..."
"I communicated and conversed with them and came here..."
Chen Jiuyang looked around. He was standing at the entrance of an ancient palace. In front of him was a huge island market, and before him was heavy rain.
His expression became dazed. "What was I here to do?"
He suddenly woke up with a start. "I came here to retrieve 'Sanhua's' life source, to let her live another life, and to obtain 'Zhuang Wu's' other primordial great dao."
"However, I feel something is wrong, as if I have communicated with several people."
"Boom!!!"
A thunderclap sounded in the heavy rain.
Suddenly, three figures flew out from the depths of the palace. Two of them were wearing Dao Gold Heavenly General armor, and their cultivation was at the Immortal Dao Profound Immortal level. In front of them, a female immortal in a green fairy dress with an extraordinary demeanor was fleeing, being pursued.
"Sanhua, you have defied the heavenly order and dared to escape the immortal realm privately. Do not be stubborn, surrender immediately, and accept the punishment of the Heavenly Court!!!"
The clear voice of the heavenly general shook the surrounding hundred miles.
These three figures all passed directly by Chen Jiuyang and flew towards the vast island market ahead.
Chen Jiuyang's body moved slightly. The green-robed female immortal fleeing before him was none other than 'Sanhua' Zhu Xian!
However, her cultivation had not reached the Immortal King Dao Fruit realm; she was only at the Profound Immortal realm.
Chen Jiuyang frowned. After a moment of thought, he decided to act. He raised his hand, and a domineering Dao power erupted from his five fingers. A sky-covering hand suddenly appeared, directly grabbing the two Heavenly Generals at the Profound Immortal level and crushing them lightly.
"Crack—"
These two immortal cultivators, equivalent to newly entered Emperor realm, were instantly killed by Chen Jiuyang with one hand.
'Sanhua' Meiying, who was fleeing, paused slightly and stopped. She then gracefully flew towards Chen Jiuyang, her steps elegant, her demeanor like that of a phoenix, truly a peerless beauty immortal, possessing a leisurely and elegant otherworldly aura.
'Sanhua' slightly cupped her hands and said in a gentle tone, "Thank you, fellow immortal, for your help. May I ask which Immortal Emperor's disciple you are?"
With a wave of his hand, he had crushed two heavenly generals to death. In the mortal world, apart from the Human Emperor, it was clear that he was a disciple of an Immortal Emperor from the immortal realm.
