Peerless Medical Emperor

"That makes sense. We’ll wait here for you to come out."

As Master Hei spoke, he plopped right down.

Seeing Master Hei sit, Mu Qingfeng and Zhao Tong followed suit.

Meanwhile, outside the palace, Chen Qingdi and Chen Yuan were still relentlessly chasing the underwater structure.

But to their surprise, no matter how hard they chased, they just couldn’t catch up to the palace.

The underwater palace’s movement trajectory was incredibly bizarre.

It was clearly right in front of them, yet they couldn’t reach it no matter how they hurried.

"This isn’t working. Stop,"

Chen Qingdi said.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Yuan was completely baffled, not understanding what was going on.

"Stop. Something’s not right here,"

Chen Qingdi said.

Chen Yuan quickly stopped. The two of them stood before a subterranean mountain range beneath the water, watching the palace that continued to move back and forth in front of them.

It was so close, right before their eyes, yet they couldn’t get near it no matter what. It was an incredibly strange situation.

"If we keep chasing this underwater palace like this, I’m afraid we’ll never be able to get close to it," Chen Qingdi said.

Chen Qingdi’s words left Chen Yuan a bit confused.

’How can we not catch it? It’s right there in front of us.’

"I fear this palace is an illusory projection. What we’re seeing might not be real,"

Chen Qingdi said.

"No way."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately shook his head.

But then he thought, ’Then again, it’s possible.’ After all, they had been chasing it for half the day and still hadn’t caught up.

To say there wasn’t something fishy going on would be hard to justify.

But what exactly was the problem? Chen Yuan, for one, hadn’t found it yet.

"If there’s a problem here, then what should we do next?"

"We can’t catch it by chasing it head-on. Don’t tell me we’re supposed to chase it backward?"

Chen Yuan said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Those words immediately gave Chen Qingdi an idea.

"That’s right. We’ll chase it backward."

"Do the exact opposite,"

Chen Qingdi said.

"Master, I was just saying that off the cuff. You’re not really planning to chase it backward, are you? That’s not a viable method."

Chen Yuan shook his head repeatedly.

But Chen Qingdi actually thought this method was quite feasible.

When he closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings, he quickly confirmed that there was indeed a palace far behind them.

"Follow me."

After speaking, Chen Qingdi’s figure flickered, and he sped away toward their rear.

Although Chen Yuan felt this was unreliable, he still followed closely behind Chen Qingdi.

"Master, wait for me!"

Chen Qingdi was moving too fast for Chen Yuan to keep up, so he could only shout from behind for his master to slow down.

"Master, slow down!"

"I can’t keep up with you,"

Chen Yuan said with a wry smile.

Chen Qingdi had no choice but to slow down, allowing Chen Yuan to finally catch up.

"Master, the gap between us is still too great."

Chen Yuan sounded dejected as he mentioned this.

"If there’s a gap, just work hard to close it. In this world, there aren’t many who are stronger than you,"

Chen Qingdi said in an encouraging tone.

Time passed quickly. Although Chen Qingdi didn’t know if this method would actually work, his intuition told him it was the only way to truly find the palace beneath the water.

As for what secrets were hidden within that palace, they would only find out after getting inside.

But this time, Chen Qingdi had thoroughly committed the Evil God Hall to memory.

He had gone so far as to use the power of Medical God Island to find the location of the Celestial Cloud Branch.

He originally thought everything would go smoothly and he could quickly eliminate the evildoers of the Celestial Cloud Branch, but he never expected so many things to happen.

The ambush in the valley, the mechanisms in the Golden Armor River, and now a palace in the water.

He faced difficulties at every step, but the more this happened, the more interesting Chen Qingdi found it.

Suddenly, a strong current rushed toward them. It seemed there was a barrier here.

They were pushed back.

"Interesting."

Seeing this, Chen Qingdi wasn’t the least bit annoyed; on the contrary, he found it rather interesting.

"Master, there is indeed a barrier up ahead."

"We probably can’t break through it,"

Chen Yuan said.

"We’ll see about that,"

Chen Qingdi said.

This barrier was formed with Spiritual Power. The fact that someone from the Evil God Hall could set up a barrier was something Chen Qingdi hadn’t expected.

It seemed the Evil God Hall had its share of capable people.

"Master, please step back and let me try."

Chen Yuan stepped forward.

He wanted to force his way through.

"Can you do it?"

Chen Qingdi shook his head with a smile.

"Master, don’t look down on me."

"I can definitely do it,"

Chen Yuan said with a laugh.

Then, with layers of True Energy swirling around his body, Chen Yuan charged directly at the barrier ahead.

The initial impact created a sound.

With a BOOM, Chen Yuan was sent flying back.

Seeing this, Chen Qingdi slowly shook his head.

"How bizarre. How can there be a barrier in the water? The mechanism was already enough."

"And now a barrier appears."

"A Guiyuan realm expert can indeed create a barrier, but with my strength, such a barrier should shatter on contact."

"Could it be a barrier created by someone at the Master level, who has surpassed the Guiyuan realm?"

Chen Yuan said with a grave expression.

"That’s possible."

Chen Qingdi nodded.

"If it’s a barrier set up by a Master-realm expert, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for me to break."

"It seems, in the end, we can only rely on you, Master."

Chen Yuan looked toward Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi just smiled faintly without saying a word.

He understood clearly that some things just had to be done by him.

Since Chen Yuan couldn’t break it, he was the only one left.

However, Chen Qingdi didn’t rush to break the barrier before him.

Instead, he first glanced at his surroundings.

The Master realm is divided into nine grades, with the Ninth Grade being the highest. The realms that follow are also structured this way.

There is a huge gap between each grade.

So, even if they are both in the Master realm, a difference in grade means a natural difference in strength.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Chen Yuan asked with a puzzled look.

"Nothing. I’m going to break this barrier now. You move back; there’s energy on it,"

Chen Qingdi said to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan had wanted to try again, but hearing Chen Qingdi’s words, he nodded and backed away.

Walking up to the barrier, Chen Qingdi lightly pointed a finger forward.
