The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 409
Chapter 409 Immortal Palace Illusion
“Let’s go in!” Li Qing brought Dongfang Bingyun and flew into the Sea of Illusion.
Not long after he had just flown, he encountered quite a few good things.
Within the white clouds, a few dazzling rays of light would occasionally pierce through the clouds. The two of them stared fixedly at the silver-white crystal stones.
What was shocking was that a pair of dreamlike wings appeared on the silver-white crystal stones. They gently vibrated, making the crystal stones look like living beings.
“This is the Essence of Feathers. It’s a specialty of the Sea of Illusions. It’s exceptionally agile. It’s a very good supplementary material for weapons refinement.” Dongfang Bingyun explained.
In the process of forging weapons, if a piece of Feather Essence could be added, not only would the speed at which the weapon circulated its true essence become more agile, but also the martial artist’s connection with the weapon would become closer.
“This is the legendary Feather Essence? The world is so big that there are all sorts of wonders! Their speed is so fast, can we catch them?” Li Qing asked.
“No, it’s quite difficult to harvest this Feather Essence.” Dongfang Bingyun shook his head. “This is a sea of illusions, filled with illusions. It will create false treasures and attract people to fall for it. In the end, the treasure is not in his possession, but he has instead fallen into the environment. Moreover, the speed of the Featherflower Crystal itself is not slow. Even if he encounters the real thing, he must at least fly fast enough to catch it.”
“What a pity!” Li Qing said regretfully.
This kind of treasure could no longer be considered a mere artifact. Instead, it was close to a monster. Although it did not possess its own independent thinking, it possessed a spirit that perfectly fused with the environment of the Sea of Illusions.
Apart from the Flying Feather Essence, Li Qing also saw a faint blue light flickering in the deep water beneath the sea as he passed by.
“What is that?” Li Qing asked.
“The Netherblue Gold Ore Vein is located beneath the Mirage Sea Water!” Dongfang Bingyun said.
“Netherblue Gold? One of the best materials for refining water-attributed spirit artifacts?”
“That’s right! Unfortunately, it’s very difficult for us to get it!” Dongfang Bingyun said, “There are many illusions of various sizes near this water area, surrounding the dark blue gold ore veins. It is extremely terrifying. In addition, there are unknown powerful illusionary beasts hidden inside. If you fall into it, even the Vast Ocean Pearl will not be able to save you!”
“So terrifying!” Li Qing was shocked.
“Of course. There are quite a few people who know about the Nether Blue Gold ore veins here, but none of them can be taken away. For the sake of the Nether Blue Gold ore veins, how many lives have been lost here? This is the experience and lesson of blood.” Dongfang Bingyun said.
“This is outrageous. Seeing so many treasures, you can only look at them and not take them away. How depressing.” Li Qing was unhappy.
The two continued to fly.
“What does your father want to do when he comes to this sea of illusions?” Li Qing asked.
“He wanted to climb the Penglai Immortal Mountain and pick the supreme immortal fruit. He wanted to comprehend the unity of heaven and man and break through to the Void Realm, but he didn’t expect to die here.” Dongfang Bingyun said sadly.
“Penglai Immortal Mountain?” Li Qing frowned. “If your father wants to climb the Penglai Immortal Mountain, he must have entered the depths of the Illusory Sea. It’s useless for us to search the periphery!”
At any rate, Li Qing also took a Void Stone from Dongfang Bingyun. If he casually spun around outside and perfunctorily did something, then it would be too immoral. He had to do his best.
“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to enter the depths of the Illusory Sea. Just search outside. If you don’t have it, then you can go back on your own.”
“What about you?” Li Qing asked.
“I entered the depths of the Illusory Sea by myself and climbed the Penglai Immortal Mountain! If I can’t find my father’s corpse, I won’t let it go.” Dongfang Bingyun said firmly.
Li Qing had a headache. Originally, he had agreed to this task on the condition that there was no danger to his life. However, if this woman was stupid and had to enter the depths of the Sea of Illusion by herself, he couldn’t just watch her die, could he?
As they talked, a large cloud appeared in front of them, unknowingly surrounding the two of them.
Not long after, a magnificent and magnificent Heavenly Immortal Palace phantom appeared from the depths of the clouds, as if it had descended across space and time.
When the two saw the sudden appearance of the Grand Immortal Palace, they immediately stopped.
“This is an illusion? What a realistic illusion!” Li Qing stretched out his divine sense and felt that everything his divine sense saw was a vast expanse of white, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.
No wonder even Void Realm experts were trapped in the depths of the Illusory Sea. Even with their divine sense, it was difficult to distinguish the illusions here.
“It must be an illusion. Otherwise, how could an immortal palace appear here for no reason?” Dongfang Bingyun laughed.
“This immortal palace is actually so realistic. Isn’t the illusion in the Sea of Illusions too realistic?” Li Qing sighed.
“What you don’t know is that not all of the illusions here are fake. It’s possible that something that appeared in history was copied by the Sea of Illusions. Only then can it be revealed.”
“What? So you’re saying that this grand immortal palace in front of you might be something that actually appeared in history?” Li Qing was dumbfounded. “How could such a magnificent immortal palace be created by man?”
“I’m just saying it’s possible, not certain.” Dongfang Bingyun said, “This immortal palace should be fake.”
The two of them approached the grand immortal palace with curiosity, wanting to see what was going on. They knew that the Immortal Palace was an illusion, but they didn’t feel scared. After all, this was only the outer region, so they couldn’t be trapped.
The Immortal Palace was wrapped in white clouds and mist, hazy. As they approached, the true appearance of this magnificent building gradually appeared in front of them.
“So magnificent!” Standing under the Immortal Palace, the two of them felt as if they were facing a mountain that was ten thousand feet tall. They could feel the heavy, powerful, domineering, and dignified aura within it, as if they were carrying a country of rivers, mountains, and countless living beings.
The main hall, the side hall, the courtyard, the platform, and the high-rise buildings formed a palace that looked like the residence of an Immortal King in heaven. It was like the sun in the sky, filled with the majesty of an Immortal King.
Between the palaces, many illusory fairies continued to walk, holding the liquid in their hands in an orderly manner.
“Look, there’s a plaque in the central hall!” Dongfang Bingyun pointed.
The two of them hurriedly walked forward and saw four large words written on the plaque above the hall: Ascension Heavenly Palace.
“This is actually the Ascension Heavenly Palace!” The two cried out in shock.
“It’s actually Daoist Patriarch Wuji’s Ascension Heavenly Palace! Heavens, I actually saw this legendary palace!” Dongfang Bingyun’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
Although they all knew that this was just an illusion, seeing this famous palace with their own eyes was enough to make the trip worth it.
“Is this the true appearance of the Ascension Heavenly Palace? It is indeed an unbelievable palace. Rumor has it that Daoist Patriarch Wuji killed the Heaven Swallowing Kun Peng and took its feathers and bones from it. It possesses unbelievable power!” Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh.
“The Sea of Illusion is truly amazing. Not only can it replicate the appearance of the Ascension Heavenly Palace, it can also preserve the aura and charm of the Heavenly Palace. It is unknown whether it is true or false.”
The two of them exclaimed in admiration.
They stayed in the Ascension Heavenly Palace for a period of time and searched the entire Immortal Palace, but they did not find any useful clues. After all, this was just an illusion. It was superficial and lacked the connotation of a true Heavenly Palace.
“Let’s go, let’s go out!” Li Qing said.
Dongfang Bingyun took out the Vast Ocean Pearl and poured his True Essence into it. Immediately, a brilliant light shone and a burst of clear light spread out.
Where the clear light touched, the illusion immediately dissipated. In the blink of an eye, the magnificent Immortal Palace completely collapsed, turning back into white clouds and smoke.
The two of them flew out. Not long after, Li Qing suddenly felt a majestic aura rapidly approaching.
“Not good, an unknown creature is approaching!” Li Qing was shocked.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out from the white clouds.
He looked like a young man with an imposing manner. He wore a purple-gold robe, a golden crown on his head, and a bright yellow belt around his waist.
He had an incomparably well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, and a full Heavenly Court. His temples bulged on both sides, and his blood energy burst forth like two blazing suns.
“A Void Realm expert!” Li Qing was basically certain from the opponent’s aura.
It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing to encounter a human in the Sea of Illusion. However, Li Qing could clearly feel a stirring aura coming from the other party’s body. It was like a vicious wolf that chose to devour people, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing this scene, he had a bad premonition.
Very quickly, this ominous premonition came true. The young man grinned and his eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent, “Die!”
“Not good, run!” Li Qing’s expression changed drastically. He immediately activated the Yin Yang Cloud and fled in the opposite direction.
At this moment, another figure walked out from the other side, blocking the path ahead.
“Another one, a Void Realm expert!” Li Qing secretly complained in his heart. He once again turned around and flew in another direction.
The two Void Realm experts chased after Li Qing!
“Damn it, our direction is towards the depths of the Illusory Sea. If this continues, we will be in danger.” Dongfang Bingyun said.
“You might not die if you enter the depths of the Illusory Sea, but you will definitely die if you are caught by those two Void Realms!” Li Qing was helpless.
The two of them could only fly towards the depths of the Illusory Sea.
After flying for a period of time, Dongfang Bingyun asked doubtfully, “Why do they seem to be flying so slowly? They were actually left behind by us?”
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, “Perhaps they are catching mice and cats, or perhaps they feel that the Mirage Sea is too dangerous to fly too fast.”
“Look, what’s up ahead?” Dongfang Bingyun pointed.
A huge vortex appeared in front of him. The boundless clouds around him were sucked into it. Countless huge bubbles formed and then collapsed. It was as if the worlds were going to perish one after another.
