Chapter 303 - 303 Qing Emperor's Image Projection
303 Qing Emperor’s Image Projection
The Qing Emperor Palace was extremely spacious. It was twice as large as the Seven Devil Hall that Gu Mingzhou had seen.
The ground was paved with dark-green stone slabs, which emitted a dark-green light like a mirror of light that reflected the hall. As he stepped in, it was as if he was standing in two connected palaces at the end, making the entire hall look even more magnificent and spacious.
In the hall, there were a total of 18 pillars with coiling Dragons on each side.
The carved divine Dragons were vivid and lifelike. Under the reflection of the green stone slabs, they swayed slightly as they stepped in. At first glance, they looked like thirty-six real Dragons that had come to life. Their pillars were ferocious and majestic.
“It’s really the work of the heavens and earth!” He Youliang could not help but exclaim as he stepped into the hall.
“I think that only the Qing Emperor, who had dominated the eight realms, could be so extravagant! Look at the dark green stone slabs. They are all top-grade green primordial stones, which are also scarce materials. Look at the Coiling Dragon pillar, which is made of top-grade green wood. The three thousand glazed tiles on the roof are all made of rare gilt rock… Any one of them would cause a sensation if they were to be released outside!”
Wu Ji’s patriarch also let out a sigh.
“The Qing Emperor is indeed worthy of being one of the great ancient emperors in the past hundreds of millions of years. Is he really as powerful as you all say?” Wei Lin squinted his eyes and sized up the surroundings as he questioned.
“Do you still need to say that? Just looked at the Qing Emperor’s Palace. Since the beginning of the world, which Emperor can be compared to him?” Liu Youcheng explained, his face full of admiration.
“The Qing Emperor is indeed a publicly acknowledged powerful existence in the cultivation world. Whether it’s his battle achievements or his cultivation, they’re both extremely powerful! It’s a pity that even such a person can’t obtain eternal life. Even if we cultivators put in all our effort in cultivation, what will we be able to achieve in the end?” Shangguan Fei also spoke up. He looked at the splendid palace and sighed.
“Island Master Shangguan’s words are wrong. No one can say for sure whether the Qing Emperor is dead or alive.” Liu Youcheng suddenly opened his mouth and actually refuted Shangguan Fei’s opinion.
“This theory of yours is truly unique. However, it is tough for us to know exactly what happened to the Qing Emperor in the end. Perhaps he really did find a place to live in seclusion.” Shangguan Fei did not refute Liu Youcheng’s opinion but explained it accordingly.
While everyone was sighing and arguing, Gu Mingzhou stood by the door expressionlessly. He carefully looked around and did not approach the crowd.
His slightly narrowed eyes were filled with surprise.
The surprise that this magnificent Qing Emperor’s grand Palace had brought to everyone was truly too great.
However, just as everyone was in shock, the ancient voice sounded again!
“I am the Qing Emperor. Welcome to my Qing Emperor Palace!”
A fat Daoist priest in a Daoist robe suddenly appeared on the initially empty stage.
This was the fat Daoist priest who was not angry but still looked mighty. He was dressed in a simple green Daoist robe, but he had the appearance of a sage.
Even with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, he still made people shudder and respect him.
However, Gu Mingzhou felt a strange aura from this fat Daoist priest for some reason. He had an ominous premonition, which made his hair stand on end. He felt that the Qing Emperor was not a good person.
Of course, Gu Mingzhou only thought about it and did not dare to say it out loud.
This fat Daoist priest that had suddenly appeared was almost precisely the same as the fat statue he had seen in the silver-white forest. The only difference was that the fat figure was a thousand feet tall, while the fat Daoist was only about 1.7 meters tall.
“So that sculpture outside earlier was the Qing Emperor! I’ve been disrespectful!” obviously, Gu Mingzhou was not the only one who had realized this. Shangguan Fei and the others also realized this. Liu Youcheng couldn’t help but step forward and cup his hands.
“Since you were able to overcome the tribulations of the river of forgetfulness and bridge of helplessness, it is clear that you have a strong will and a powerful soul.” The Qing Emperor, who was standing on the stage with his hands behind his back, turned a blind eye to Liu Youcheng’s flattery. He arrogantly raised his hands and cupped them in respect to the heavens. He minded his own business and loudly shouted.
“I believe that those who can make it here are all geniuses of this world. Since I, the Qing Emperor, have left behind my inheritance here, I naturally won’t mistreat you all. If you all can pass through the final three-life tribulation, you will be able to enter the back hall of the Qing Emperor and obtain the divine weapons and inheritance of my true self.” The Qing Emperor put down his hands and continued.
“The Qing Emperor actually left behind an inheritance!” He Youliang was extremely shocked.
“So this is the land of the Qing Emperor’s inheritance. The heavens are really watching over us!” The Infinity laughed out loud in excitement.
Although Wei Lin and Liu Youcheng didn’t say anything, their faces were filled with joy and excitement.
“It is truly an honor for us to be able to encounter His Excellency Sage Emperor’s inheritance here. However, may I know where the three-life tribulation that Senior mentioned is? What’s the tribulation?” on the other hand, Shangguan Fei, who was unusually calm, took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said,
Shangguan Fei is indeed a cunning old fox. Even in the face of the Qing Emperor’s inheritance, he still looks calm, and his heart is not beating fast. His inner world is showing its inner thoughts and he is concerned about the third tribulation. Gu Mingzhou, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, thought to himself.
Shangguan Fei’s behavior was enough to prove his cautious and cunning nature.
It would not be easy if he wanted to escape from his hands.
“Ordinary people can’t obtain my inheritance. Therefore, his main body had made some changes to the last of the three tribulations of the river of forgetfulness. It was no longer prying into reincarnation but a line between life and death.” The Qing Emperor also did not answer Shangguan Fei’s question. As he continued, a strange smile that made Gu Mingzhou feel uneasy appeared on his greasy and fat face.
The Qing Emperor’s right hand pointed toward the dark green floor of the Grand Palace in front of him!
The entire Qing Emperor’s Palace started to shake.
The initially flat green ground began to wriggle slightly and gradually spread.
In the end, it was like the surface of the water, with slight ripples when the breeze blew.
“It’s indeed a good move!” Gu Mingzhou frowned and thought to himself.
The Qing Emperor instantly turned the vast floor of the hall into a pool of water. His means were so powerful that even the World God, Xu Fengyu, whom Gu Mingzhou had met before, might not have been able to do it.
“Everyone, please take a look. This is the final three-life tribulation. You’ll have to experience it on your own after you’ve entered, ” the Qing Emperor muttered.
The Qing Emperor did not wait for everyone’s reaction. His right hand was waved out.
Swish!
A strong wind suddenly rose and swept through the hall.
Gu Mingzhou was not even prepared at all. Together with Shangguan Fei and the others, they were directly swept into the ground that had turned into a lake by this sudden gust of wind.
Whoosh!
The waves splashed in all directions. The entire Qing Emperor’s Hall was once again empty. The two doors of the hall slowly closed.
“If he can walk out of this three-lives tribulation, it means his talent is not bad! At that time, I will be able to carry out the follow-up plan!” the Qing Emperor’s fat image projection shattered and turned into specks of crystal light before dissipating into the entire hall.
