Chapter 346: It's Time to Join Forces
The master and apprentice continued walking towards the Ancient Secret Palace.
Of course, we should still drive slowly, since the scenery of the Ancient Crocodile Mountains is actually quite beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
We can't ignore the beautiful scenery along the way just to see the Ancient Secret Palace.
Of course, this wouldn't happen if these wild beasts didn't come out.
That's even better.
After the two walked for about two more hours, the Ancient Secret Palace seemed much closer, but a strange fragrance wafted in the air. The fragrance was so strong that it made people drowsy, as if even their souls had drifted away.
Qin Yiyao frowned immediately: "How can there be this smell..."
It smells a bit strange.
This place shouldn't have such an jarring atmosphere, especially since it's in the mountains.
Moreover, the closer you get to the Ancient Secret Palace, the stronger the fragrance becomes.
Gu Heng sniffed, also somewhat puzzled.
He also smelled a strange, fishy odor in the air, but it was different from the fishy smell he usually encountered... but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
But it must smell unpleasant.
Looking back, I saw that the little girl had squeezed her beautiful eyebrows together; she must have been suffocated by the stench.
"Girl, take this."
Qin Yiyao looked up and saw Gu Heng hand her a sachet. Almost instantly, the strange fragrance was dispelled and replaced by a light and elegant scent. Her mind immediately became clear!
Gu Heng smiled and said, "I specially made a sachet with medicinal herbs. If you carry it with you, the smell won't reach you."
The little girl paused for a moment, looked down at the sachet, then took it and hung it on her waist.
Sure enough, there's something wrong with the scent!
Although the exact cause is unknown, it is most likely related to the Ancient Secret Palace.
A wave of energy swept past and completely blocked her spiritual senses, but perhaps this was the method of an "immortal".
After all, the Ancient Secret Palace is a celestial-level secret realm. If it really was left behind by an immortal, how could one obtain it without undergoing some trials?
I thought about it.
Perhaps her master felt that since she was only at the Nascent Soul stage, exploring such a celestial realm would likely involve both great danger and great opportunity, so he prepared protective measures for her in advance.
After all, Gu Heng might already be an "immortal".
But she's not.
We will never forget the kindness of our Master.
Thinking of this, Qin Yiyao was in a great mood. She raised her little face and gave Gu Heng a sweet smile: "Thank you, Master!"
"Alright, save your energy. I'm afraid you'll collapse when we get there."
Gu Heng rolled his eyes.
……
Three miles outside the enormous, labyrinthine city lies the cultivator's camp.
After a fluctuation emanated from the ancient secret palace, all the cultivators located in the Ancient Crocodile Mountain discovered that their spiritual senses were being blocked.
But that's all.
No further "traps" were triggered, and the cultivators in the open area quickly calmed down.
It's just that my spiritual thoughts are being blocked, it doesn't matter.
If leaving the Ancient Crocodile Mountains allows for recovery, then it's quite clear that whatever is in the Primordial Secret Palace, if you want to obtain it, you must do so within these restrictions.
Although everyone knows it's definitely not that simple.
The methods of immortals are far more than just blocking spiritual thoughts. Who knows how many more "hurdles" will be overcome in the future?
In a portable palace somewhere in the monks' camp.
This place is a gathering place for the most talented individuals from various factions, along with their accompanying experts.
Bai Feier stood to the side and slightly behind Meng Yirou, not sitting with her, because it was too conspicuous. The Holy Maiden of the Divine Palace of Healing, the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in the world, was someone everyone wanted to curry favor with.
She didn't intend to stand beside Meng Yirou's "halo" and get burned. However, there were so many renowned geniuses among them...
Although she had never left the Sunflame Dynasty before, Bai Feier knew all the famous young people in the world.
For example, the young man sitting four seats to the left of Meng Yirou was wearing a purple-red dragon robe. Just by sitting there, he exuded an air of nobility, like a dragon wielding power!
That was Xuanyuan Sheng, the seventeenth prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, who was at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
The youngest prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, and also the most talented among the younger generation of the Central Plains royal family!
Then there was the person sitting opposite him.
The "Prajna Swordsman" was wrapped in a simple, rough brown robe and had his face covered with a mask!
The most outstanding disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect, the chief disciple, is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. His "Sword Intent Without Edge" is so powerful that he is virtually unmatched among the younger generation! Bai Feier had also heard Jiang Lingyun mention him before.
but……
What bothered her most was that Jiang Lingyun seemed to think that Prajna Swordsman's talent was still too ordinary when comparing her to him...
Upon seeing the real person, Bai Feier's eyelids twitched violently.
That's strange. So, the Prajna Swordsman didn't comprehend "Sword Moment"?
But she herself had already realized it.
No wonder Jiang Lingyun thought Prajna Swordsman's talent was "average," but it was actually quite extraordinary. It was just that compared to Bai Feier, he seemed weaker.
Xuanyuan Sheng and Prajna Swordsman are basically the strongest of this younger generation.
As for others, they are generally weaker than them.
However, the geniuses of the "Three Great Divine Palaces" cannot be judged in this way, since their greatest strengths are not fighting, but alchemy, weapon crafting, and fortune telling.
If we're talking about who can attract the most attention and who has the most talent, then it's clear they're incredibly gifted.
Then it has to be Meng Yirou.
"It seems that all those from extraordinary backgrounds have arrived."
Xuanyuan Sheng, the seventeenth prince of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to everyone.
He initiated this meeting.
However, everyone's thoughts on him gathering so many people from extraordinary forces were quite clear: he wanted to have more helpers when exploring the Ancient Secret Palace.
After all, besides their "small group," there were several other "small groups" gathered in other parts of this open area, and they were all discussing the same things.
That is, many hands make light work. "Both the Imperial Physician Palace and the Holy Forging Palace are here."
Meng Yirou, along with the Holy Son of the Holy Forging Palace, a burly young man with a bronze complexion, both nodded to Xuan Yuansheng.
Why haven't the people from the Heavenly Palace come?
"I heard that after their palace master heard about the emergence of this Ancient Secret Palace, he personally performed a divination and concluded that the Ancient Secret Palace and the Heavenly Questioning Palace had no causal connection, so he did not come."
Xuanyuan Sheng said.
Everyone already knew the answer, so they didn't bring it up again.
Those people from the Heavenly Palace were actually quite unpredictable in the eyes of other extraordinary forces.
He spends all day muttering things like "cause and effect," "fate," and "divine will," but frankly, no one understands what he's talking about.
So, if they're not coming, then they're not coming!
As for the so-called "cause and effect" explanation, just ignore it. Anyway, apart from fortune tellers, nobody knows what it means.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."
Xuanyuan Sheng spoke in a deep voice, drawing everyone's attention to himself: "I hope you will all stick together for now and be more cautious. This is a legacy of immortals, and whatever it contains is unlikely to be easily obtained. If you fight individually, you may end up empty-handed, or worse, losing your lives."
He paused for a moment and then said, "If we act together, at least we can look out for each other. Of course, I also know that this is the first immortal-level secret realm to reappear since the prehistoric era! So in the end, what benefits we can get will depend on our own abilities."
"I hope everyone will prioritize harmony for now."
"In this way, at least we won't suffer a crushing defeat at the very beginning."
Xuanyuan Sheng sat down again, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
