Chapter 313

Chapter 313: I Am…

Just as Kenai Ling and her group entered the door of the palace ruins, many more people arrived above the ruins.

"Why are you all not entering, fellow friends?" a late-stage Integration cultivator asked in surprise when he saw everyone outside the ruins.

Inside the ruins, a group of people had already gone in.

"Friend Mu, you can go in and try," a voice said lightly with ill intentions.

"Friend Mu, don’t listen to him; this ruin only allows cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and below to enter," another cultivator, who was closer to Friend Mu, hurriedly said.

"Only Nascent Soul stage cultivators can enter? Have you all tried?" Friend Mu asked the person.

"Just now, a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator broke through the formation, and as a result, he was killed by the formation."

"Really? To be able to kill a Divine Transformation cultivator, this formation seems quite powerful."

"It is very powerful; just a moment ago, a sixth-stage formation master said he couldn’t understand this formation. It must be at least seventh-stage or even eighth-stage."

While everyone was discussing among themselves, suddenly, a powerful pressure swept over.

Feeling this pressure, everyone’s faces changed.

"A great emperor…"

Everyone realized that a Great Emperor level powerhouse had arrived.

Soon, a figure appeared before everyone.

It was a handsome young man holding a folding fan, looking like a graceful gentleman.

Seeing this striking young man, everyone, whether Divine Transformation cultivators or Great Ascension stage powerhouses, bowed to him.

"We bow to Great Emperor Mu Bai…"

"No need for such formalities."

The handsome man, known as Great Emperor Mu Bai, nodded at everyone, then turned his gaze towards the ruins below.

Noticing Great Emperor Mu Bai looking at the palace ruins, everyone directed their attention to him.

"A great emperor has arrived; the formation is about to be broken."

"What a pity, with a great emperor present, we can’t hope to gain benefits from this palace ruins."

Many people were secretly communicating with their divine sense.

"Interesting!"

After observing the formation for a moment, Great Emperor Mu Bai said, "Interesting."

Then he scanned everyone: "Step aside; I am going to break the formation."

Hearing this, everyone quickly moved aside.

However, one Divine Transformation cultivator immediately said, "Great Emperor Mu Bai, there are still some disciples of my Divine Fire Sect inside the formation…"

"Noise…"

Great Emperor Mu Bai furrowed his brow and waved his hand, instantly turning the Divine Transformation cultivator into a mist of blood.

"A group of ants."

Great Emperor Mu Bai said lightly.

Seeing this scene, everyone appeared calm on the outside, but inside, they felt very uncomfortable.

No one wanted to be seen as an ant, even by a great emperor.

However, the power of the great emperor was overwhelming, and they didn’t even dare to show their displeasure.

After everyone retreated to a safe distance, Great Emperor Mu Bai summoned the folding fan in his hand.

The fan grew larger, quickly becoming the size of a house.

In the next moment, several fan bones shot out from the fan at an incredible speed, too fast for many to see.

Boom!

The next moment, the fan bones crashed hard against the formation.

As the fan bones struck the formation, the barriers outside the palace ruins activated once again.

Finding that his imperial weapon fan had failed to break through a formation, Great Emperor Mu Bai was momentarily stunned.

However, the next moment, he sensed a chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine.

Quickly, he realized that the source of this overwhelming sense of danger was emanating from the palace ruins.

At that moment, Great Emperor Mu Bai felt an unprecedented risk.

"Run!"

In the next instant, Great Emperor Mu Bai no longer cared about anything else and turned to flee.

However, just as Great Emperor Mu Bai turned around, a sword energy over a thousand meters long shot quickly out from the formation.

In the next moment, the sword energy appeared behind Great Emperor Mu Bai as if it could teleport.

At this time, Great Emperor Mu Bai immediately summoned all his defensive measures upon sensing the danger.

He put on a set of protective armor and created countless defensive barriers.

However, when the sword energy approached, both the barriers and the armor were torn apart as easily as tofu.

In addition, Great Emperor Mu Bai’s body was also ripped apart.

This scene left everyone watching in shock, their mouths agape.

In everyone’s sight, Great Emperor Mu Bai had attacked the formation, then turned to flee, but ultimately, a massive sword energy shot out from the formation and took him down instantly.

How could such a situation not terrify them?

A dignified Tribulation stage great emperor was directly killed by a formation in a single blow.

This scene had a huge impact on everyone’s hearts.

Next, when everyone looked at the palace ruins formation, they revealed a mix of awe, fear, and shock.

Many people quickly distanced themselves from the palace ruins, fearing that the ruins might attack them.

Some others, however, looked at the imperial weapon left behind by Great Emperor Mu Bai, their eyes filled with greed.

But just as some were gazing at the imperial weapon, they soon discovered that it was being drawn into the formation by the ruins.

Seeing this situation, all those who coveted the imperial weapon could only sigh regretfully in their hearts.

…

Inside the formation, Kenai Ling had already reached the outside of the first palace.

"Transmission Hall"

That was the name of the palace.

This palace was enormous and surrounded by a layer of formation, which deterred many who wanted to enter.

Some tried to attack the formation surrounding the palace but were directly killed by it, making everyone more obedient.

When they couldn’t enter the Transmission Hall, everyone turned to the other palaces.

The next palaces were the "Law Enforcement Hall," "Crafting Hall," "Elixir Hall," "Talismans Hall," "Celestial Beasts Hall," "Spiritual Herb Garden," "Celestial Beast Garden," "Merit Hall," "Scripture Pavilion," and "Sect Grand Hall," among others.

After exploring all the palaces, to their disappointment, everyone found that they were all covered by formations, and no one could enter.

Of course, there were also places that were not in the form of palaces, like the Spiritual Herb Garden, which was filled with various precious spiritual herbs.

Among the spiritual fields were many herbs that appeared extremely valuable, yet the formation prevented anyone from obtaining anything inside.

Some people, driven mad by the sight of the herbs, lost their reason and attacked the restrictions of the herb garden, only to be instantly annihilated by the formation.

Kenai Ling was one of those who had explored all the palaces.

At this moment, she felt very disappointed.

Seeing so many spiritual herbs yet being unable to acquire them filled her with regret.

In her eyes, with so many precious herbs in the Spiritual Herb Garden, there must be other invaluable treasures in the other palaces.

But the current situation was that everyone would leave the treasure mountain empty-handed, which felt terrible.

"Everyone, look! There’s a small stone tablet here with many words on it…"

At the innermost part of the palace complex, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.

Soon, everyone gathered in front of the stone tablet.

Kenai Ling also approached the stone tablet.

Quickly, the words on the stone tablet were revealed to everyone’s eyes.

"I am Dugu Qiubai, the Palace Master of the Sword Demon Palace. Seriously injured by enemies in the Immortal Realm, my time is short. Thus, I fled to the lower realm to leave a legacy for the fated.

I will leave a legacy stone tablet next to this stone tablet, inscribing the ‘Human Emperor’s Immortal Sutra: Qi Training Edition.’ Those who learn the true Qi of the Human Emperor may enter the Sect Grand Hall to refine the Sword Demon Palace’s protective grand formation…"

After reading the words on the stone tablet, everyone couldn’t help but ponder.

"Where is the legacy stone tablet?"

"Where could it be?"

"Look, could that be the legacy stone tablet?"

Everyone turned their gazes to a not far away stone tablet that was broken and left with only half.

This tablet had many words inscribed on it.

However, it was only half a tablet, with a large section missing.

Judging by the markings on the half tablet, it had been broken for quite some time.

"Quick, find the other half of the stone tablet…"

At that moment, everyone understood the situation.

This should be the stone tablet inscribing the technique, but it had broken into two halves.

As a result, countless people started to scatter and search for the other half of the broken stone tablet.

However, while everyone began to search for the remaining half of the stone tablet, Kenai Ling headed directly towards the Sect Grand Hall.

Her expression was filled with excitement.
