Heaven-defying Phoenix

After leaving the Hall of Gold, the Blacky asked with lingering fear in his heart.    

This trip to the Hall of Gold was truly dangerous, especially the research into the barrier. If it wasn't for the fact that Jiu Muli had a trump card and the characteristics of a Star Soul, if it were anyone else, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.    

"I think we should train for a while." Jin Yu was also afraid.    

"Can I train here? We have to get out as soon as possible. "    

Jiu Muli was a little helpless. Although she still had some spirit crystal, there were not many left, especially after being squeezed by the Blood Stele to a large extent. The remaining immortal crystal would not be able to hold on for long.    

"But Master, can you clear the rest of the area?" Blacky asked with hesitation.    

"I don't know."    

Jiu Muli did not have much confidence, but at this point, he had no choice but to give it a shot, otherwise, he would feel like he was going to reach someone else sooner or later.    

Thinking up to here, she could not help but take out the Jade Plate that was transformed from the mural and carefully examine it.    

Although the jade token was small, it was engraved with an evil spirit that looked almost alive. The only difference was that there was a strange symbol underneath. It didn't look like a character, but rather some kind of mark.    

But thinking about Dao Chen's sudden sound transmission, she felt that it was most likely Dao Chen's intention to remind her of something.    

In the end, she released her Blood Stele and asked for directions to move again.    

Although she did not know what use the Jade Plate was, but since she had obtained something from the Hall of Gold, she decided to clear out the remaining three halls first.    

Three days later, Jiu Muli arrived outside the Wood Palace. Compared to the majesty and grandeur of the Hall of Gold, the Wood Palace was much simpler. Other than the same Main Hall, there was nothing abnormal about the rest.    

Just as Jiu Muli was about to charge in, he was once again surrounded and killed by the barrier.    

Compared to the violent killing power inside the invisible barrier of the Hall of Gold, the attacks of the Wood Palace were more biased, trapping and binding. The endless wood attribute Power of Star had evolved into various kinds of strange abilities that carried an endless amount of vitality.    

This was a difficult battle, even more so than the Hall of Gold, because although the barrier of the Hall of Gold was ferocious in attack, it was enough to withstand the attacks. However, the attacks of the barrier outside the Wood Palace were endless and ever-changing, making it difficult for Jiu Muli, who was used to clashing head on.    

In the end, when she passed through the barrier, her entire body was riddled with wounds, especially the wound on her shoulder.    

This time, her injuries were severe, but luckily, she managed to make it through.    

It was a pity that this force was too strange. Even if she used all of her methods, she was still unable to absorb it. Otherwise, her strength would have definitely increased by leaps and bounds once again.    

It was also spacious and empty. However, there was a corpse on the ground that had been penetrated through and killed. However, the corpse did not rot, and it still looked as if it was alive.    

"Great Emperor has actually fallen here."    

Jiu Muli was moved. The aura this corpse was emitting was very strong, far surpassing all the Venerability s she had seen. One look was enough to tell that this was a Great Emperor Ranker.    

"Where are the rest of the bodies?"    

When she saw this corpse, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten one thing, that was, she did not see any corpses while she was in Hall of Gold.    

She did not believe that everyone would be able to make it through, but unfortunately, she did not see a single corpse. In fact, there was only one corpse in the Wood Palace, so where the other corpses had gone to, became a big mystery.    

"Could it be that the corpses we came across all along the way came from these places?" Blacky screamed, his hair standing on end.    

"Who moved?"    

Jiu Muli's face sunk, he was also terrified. There were no living beings here, the only thing that existed were those specters, but they did not have bodies, nor did they have sagacity s.    

The Blacky was speechless. Jin Yu was so scared that he shrunk onto Jiu Muli's shoulders and did not dare to say anything. This question was simply too terrifying.    

Unable to think of anything else, Jiu Muli quickly suppressed the suspicions in his heart and started to pay attention to what was happening in front of him.    

Other than the fact that the Wood Palace was filled with dense life force, everything else could be seen at a glance.    

In the center of the hall, there was also an altar. Around the altar, the dense wood-attributed Power of Star congealed into substance, looking like a lively spirit milk.    

However, there was nothing on the altar, making it look very strange.    

Other than that, there were no frescoes on the walls. Instead, there was an additional table about the height of a person, upon which was placed a tiny, human-shaped statue.    

When Jiu Muli saw the statue, all the hairs on his body stood up.    

Although the statue was small, the person engraved on it was still vivid and lifelike. He had a tall stature and his aura was overcast and sinister, akin to a devil that had just stepped out of hell. He exuded an evil and tyrannical aura.    

Demonic statue!    

She had seen these statues before in the Blood Evil Secret Realm, but they were very big then, and the statue in front of her was only the size of a fist, and it had shrunk down a little, but no matter how she looked at it, it was definitely an evil demon.    

"Why is there a Demonic Statue here?!"    

She was extremely terrified at the bottom of her heart, it was much more terrifying than the murals in Hall of Gold, because she had heard Yu Bu Jin mention it before, if the Demonic Statue was sincerely offered as sacrifice, unless the Demonic was destroyed, there would be a response.    

Especially in the Blood Evil Secret Realm, she had seen those Engraving s and knew how terrifying the devils were when they bewitched their followers.    

"Do I have to take it too?"    

But now, after scanning her surroundings, she discovered that other than this statue, there was only an altar. She felt that this statue was the only one she would accept as goods this time around, after all, she was very clear on the existence of the altar. Although it contained an incredible destiny, it was definitely not something that she could obtain.    

She attempted to approach the altar, but to her surprise, before she even got close, another blood-red spear appeared on top of the altar. It erupted with shocking power, warning her not to move forward.    

"Looks like I can only take that statue."    

She was helpless, but in the end, she still approached the stage in the back and took the sculpture into her hands. The process went smoothly without any accidents.    

In the end, she carefully searched the surrounding walls and floors. After confirming that, other than the statues, everything else was connected together and there was nothing else to take, she left with a stomach full of suspicions, but just that when she left, she also picked up the nameless corpse.    

After leaving the hall, she didn't rush to move. She didn't even bother to check on the nameless corpse as blood gushed out of her mouth.    

"Master, how are you?" When the Blacky saw this, he was so scared that his fur stood on end.    

"Jiu Muli, don't scare me like that." Jin Yu was also shocked quite badly.    

"It's fine, I can't suppress my injuries anymore. I need to heal up first."    

She shook her head, then took the opportunity to heal.    

On her trip to the Wood Palace, her injuries were truly severe. She had only been worried that the inside of the Wood Palace was unsafe and had been suppressing it.    

If not for her being revived and leveled up, she would not have been able to hold on much longer, especially the consumption of spiritual energy in her body, which could be said to be terrifying. If it were not for the fact that she pursued the great perfection of her realm, coupled with the fact that she had opened up many profound vein s, any other cultivator would have died.    

"Blacky, hurry up and persuade her. We won't be going to the other two halls."    

While Jiu Muli was recuperating, Jin Yu sent a sound transmission to the Blacky.    

"Master has a lot of things to do, I really want to go out early." The Blacky was also a little hesitant. It knew very well that Jiu Muli definitely did not want to stay here for too long.    

"That still has to be done slowly. If this goes on, it'll be too dangerous." Jin Yu said unhappily: What's more, we can go to the Buried Immortal Ridge to take a look at the situation. What if the Blood Stele is lying and the things inside the four halls are useless?    

"You're thinking too much."    

Blacky was speechless. With the restriction of the oath, the tombstone spirit would never dare to lie, otherwise, what awaited it would be destruction once again.    

"Then we won't have to rush it for now. I think we should let Jiu Muli rest for a while, and familiarize himself with this world first, before we start moving again." Jin Yu seemed to know that what she had said before was nonsense, and her tone was a little awkward.    

"You don't understand."    

Blacky shook his head.    

Why was Jiu Muli being so anxious, the Blacky had already guessed a bit, it was most likely related to Qin Zheng. Although it did not know what Jiu Muli had in mind, it had always been working hard ever since the Family Head.    

Unknowingly, five hours had passed.    

Jiu Muli's injuries recovered, and his whole body became lively again.    

"Master, are you alright?" Blacky cackled.    

"Right."    

Jiu Muli nodded, and continued to ask: "What's abnormal?"    

"Nope." Jin Yu shook his head and said weakly, "However, Jiu Muli, you really don't plan to cultivate for a period of time first.    

With how powerful the Hall of Gold and the Wood Palace were, the next two would not be bad either. It was truly worried.    

"It's useless."    

Jiu Muli shook her head, her strength had increased greatly, the attacks inside the barrier had also become stronger, furthermore she did not have any other secret techniques that she needed to cultivate.    

Even though she was in a hurry to leave and search for the Star of Desire, she didn't lose her head.    

"Come and see who this is."    

In the end, she took out the Great Emperor's corpse that had died in the Wood Palace.    

"There's a space ring."    

As the corpse fell to the ground, the Wealthy Blacky noticed the space ring on the right hand of the corpse.    

Immediately after, it looked around, and somewhat regretfully said, "Unfortunately, there's no more immortal crystal. Master, look."    

There were a lot of things inside the space ring, but they were all precious ores, precious immortal medicine s and spiritual medicines. At the same time, there were also manuals on basic techniques, but none of the spirit stone s, including the medicines that could replenish the spiritual energy, had been seen.    

"There's no way to identify them."    

Blacky was a bit helpless. He didn't know much about Three Immortal Heavens and naturally wouldn't be able to recognize who this Great Emperor was.
