With a HUM, a stream of light shot out, striking the barrier directly.
Ripples of energy began to stir chaotically within the barrier.
A moment later, cracks started to spiderweb across the entire barrier. After a few more minutes, with a loud CRACK, a section of the barrier shattered.
He had broken the barrier with a single finger. Chen Yuan was utterly astounded by Chen Qingdi’s power.
"Master, I never imagined your strength had become so profound. You must have entered the Mystic Master Realm long ago!"
Chen Yuan looked at Chen Qingdi, his face flush with excitement.
But Chen Qingdi didn’t answer.
"My realm is not important. What’s important is that we eliminate these fiends from the Evil God Hall as quickly as possible."
Chen Qingdi said coolly.
"Yes."
Chen Yuan nodded.
"I used to think I was quite something, but after coming here, I’ve realized there are always stronger people and higher heavens."
"I haven’t been much help to you on this journey, Master. I feel quite ashamed,"
Chen Yuan said.
"Don’t say such things. Just focus on doing what you’re supposed to do,"
Chen Qingdi replied.
A moment later, with a final CRACK, the barrier shattered completely.
Within the space the barrier had enclosed, something seemed to be moving.
"Master, it looks like something is moving in there."
"Should we keep going?"
Chen Yuan asked.
"Of course, we’re moving forward."
Chen Qingdi nodded.
With that, they walked forward together.
As they advanced, a massive palace appeared before them.
However, the area before the palace was pitch-black. If they hadn’t looked closely, they wouldn’t have seen it at all.
"Master, we really found the palace! This is great!"
"So all those other ones really were just illusions."
"To think the palace was in the opposite direction all along."
Chen Yuan’s face was a mask of disbelief.
"There’s nothing so incredible about it. This Evil God Hall is rather interesting."
"It seems that eradicating the various branches of the Evil God Hall will be our primary responsibility from now on,"
Chen Qingdi said.
"Yes. The Evil God Hall has existed for a very long time, apparently since ancient times, and it is extremely mysterious. If it weren’t for the poisoned drinking water in that mountain village, we might never have discovered it."
"So far, we’ve only found one branch hall of the Evil God Hall. I’ve heard they have three hundred and sixty-five branch halls in total, but no one knows the location of their main hall."
"Furthermore, the Evil God Hall has three great kings whose strength is said to be peerless. I hear they are already searching for an Immortal Sect,"
Chen Yuan explained.
"Where did you hear all this?"
"As if they could ever find the location of an Immortal Sect,"
Chen Qingdi scoffed.
"Master, do you think a Cultivation Realm really exists?"
"In our world, is there truly a gateway to the Cultivation World?"
Chen Yuan asked, his face full of curiosity.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. I believe it exists; we just haven’t found it. There are a small number of people in this world who are Practitioners. The Cultivation Techniques they practice are vastly different from those of ordinary Martial Artists."
Chen Qingdi, it seemed, had some understanding of these matters.
But he had yet to fully grasp the affairs of the vast mortal world, let alone given much thought to matters concerning Cultivators.
The palace was right ahead, but a few abruptly placed stone pillars stood before it, looking highly unusual.
Staring at the stone pillars, Chen Qingdi halted.
"Something’s not right."
"Hold on a moment,"
Chen Qingdi said.
Chen Yuan scanned his surroundings, looking carefully again and again, but he couldn’t see what was wrong.
It was a frustrating feeling.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!
Suddenly, the four stone pillars began to move.
It was as if there was something alive inside them.
The sight made Chen Yuan jump.
"My heavens, what’s going on?"
"Why are these pillars starting to move?"
Chen Yuan looked at Chen Qingdi in confusion.
"It’s likely a mechanism."
"Go and disable it,"
Chen Qingdi said to Chen Yuan.
"Alright."
Chen Yuan nodded excitedly.
He also wanted to see for himself just how formidable the mechanisms here were.
As he neared the mechanism, Chen Yuan suddenly quickened his pace.
BANG!
A stone pillar suddenly burst open, and countless Hidden Weapons shot out from within.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan was prepared and immediately blocked the volley of Hidden Weapons.
Seeing this, Chen Qingdi nodded in satisfaction.
However, he was now even more certain that this palace was fraught with peril.
If Master Hei and the others were truly inside this massive palace, they were undoubtedly facing immense danger.
"Chen Yuan, hurry up and disable this mechanism,"
Chen Qingdi ordered.
"Yes!"
Chen Yuan nodded curtly and picked up his pace.
His figure flickered as he dodged behind the stone pillars. He slapped at them for a long while, thinking he could shatter them with ease.
But to his surprise, after all that time, the stone pillars remained completely unaffected.
This gave Chen Yuan a bit of a headache.
"Master, these pillars are so hard, I can’t break them at all."
Chen Yuan was starting to panic.
The Hidden Weapons were coming faster and faster, and he was struggling to keep them at bay.
"Don’t worry. I have faith you can do it. Find the crucial point."
"The pillars might not be the key."
"The key is how the Hidden Weapons are being launched. What part of the mechanism is being triggered? Use your eyes and look carefully,"
Chen Qingdi advised.
Upon hearing Chen Qingdi’s advice, Chen Yuan immediately understood.
"I understand, I understand."
Chen Yuan’s movements became even faster.
Soon, he discovered a locking catch on the back of each pillar that controlled the trigger for the Hidden Weapons.
"So that’s how it is."
Having discovered this, Chen Yuan quickly solved the problem.
After resolving the issue, Chen Yuan smiled faintly and turned his gaze toward the massive palace gates ahead.
At this moment, Chen Qingdi also walked over.
"Well done."
"I thought it would take you some time to solve that pillar mechanism. I didn’t expect you to figure it out so quickly."
Chen Qingdi offered Chen Yuan a few words of praise.
Chen Yuan was overjoyed.
"Master, it’s rare for you to praise me."
"Now we can finally enter the palace,"
Chen Yuan said happily.
With that, he strode forward and pushed on the palace doors with all his might. To his surprise, however, even using all his strength, he couldn’t budge the doors in the slightest.
"Huh? I refuse to believe this."
"Can’t I even push open a single door?"
Chen Yuan muttered.
