Chapter 3931: Chapter 3931: Heavenly Imperial Pavilion (Part 2)
Ye Chen nodded secretly and said, "Is the Guanghan Palace really within the Inner Sea?"
Xuan Han Yu laughed and said, "The Guanghan Palace is the dominating force in Shen Yue Sea. Each of the Nine Great Sea Regions has a Guanghan Palace. With your current level of cultivation, entering the Inner Sea would still be quite difficult. Haven’t you noticed that even the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion can only stay in the Outer Sea?"
Ye Chen was shocked in his heart; the strength of Shen Yue Sea seemed to be even greater than he had anticipated!
Quickly, under the guidance of two martial artists, Ye Chen arrived in front of a high platform.
He scanned his gaze over the platform, and his pupils involuntarily contracted. He saw, standing on the platform, a treasure mirror emanating a dense treasure light, looking extremely luxurious!
This treasure mirror was clearly a Primordial Origin Artifact!
And at a glance, it was a spiritual artifact specifically for breaking through illusions...
Ye Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious. Although the grade of his Thousand Illusion Jade Mask was not low, it was far inferior to this treasure mirror. Even if he used the Illusion Transformation Technique passed down by Xuan Han Yu, could he avoid the detection of this treasure mirror?
Xuan Han Yu said lightly, "Relax, with my secret technique and the Thousand Illusion Jade Mask, the chance of you passing the treasure mirror’s inspection is very high!"
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered as he said, "Very high? How much of a chance is that?"
Xuan Han Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Fifty percent!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s footsteps abruptly stopped, almost causing him to stumble to the ground. The two martial artists looked at Ye Chen suspiciously and asked, "Jidu Divine Sovereign, is something wrong?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "It’s nothing, let’s go."
Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil. Fifty percent?
Only fifty percent?
Is this really considered a high chance?
Before long, Ye Chen climbed onto the high platform and stood before that treasure mirror.
One of the martial artists nodded towards a young man in a Daoist robe standing beside the treasure mirror.
The young man, seeing this, took out a token and cast a seal towards the treasure mirror.
In the next moment, the treasure mirror shone brightly, and a golden light beam instantly enveloped Ye Chen!
On the mirror’s surface, a blurred figure gradually began to appear!
At this moment, time seemed to slow down. The two martial artists focused intently on the mirror’s surface!
This Jidu Divine Sovereign not only concealed his level of cultivation, but his behavior along the way was unusual and rather strange, making them a bit cautious!
Ye Chen also stared at the mirror, his eyes flickering uncertainly!
But...
Strangely, the mirror image that usually appeared instantly was taking a long time to manifest this time?
Around the blurred shadow, there seemed to be a faint layer of Blood Light!
The Taoist youth controlling the mirror frowned slightly and exclaimed softly; this situation was clearly abnormal!
The expressions of the two martial artists changed subtly as they discreetly distanced themselves from Ye Chen, each holding a token ready to alert their superiors.
Ye Chen’s gaze darkened slightly as he secretly circulated spiritual energy within himself, preparing to make a move at any moment!
Everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but tighten with the change in the image!
Just then, the image in the mirror finally cleared up as the golden light dissipated, revealing a middle-aged Daoist in a robe with a somewhat cold expression and a prominent nose.
It was none other than the Jidu Divine Sovereign!
The Daoist youth and the two men in silver armor all breathed a slight sigh of relief at the sight and smiled, "Divine Sovereign, everything checks out, please proceed to the sea."
One of the men in silver armor, apparently familiar with the Jidu Divine Sovereign, also stepped forward with a smile, "Divine Sovereign, after going out, why conceal your level of cultivation on your return? You made us brothers a bit nervous!"
Ye Chen maintained his calm expression and smiled, "On this trip, I obtained a treasure that conceals my aura, just testing its effect."
Upon hearing this, the man showed a look of realization and nodded, "Then congratulations, Divine Sovereign."
In the next moment, a door appeared atop the high platform. With a movement of his foot, Ye Chen stepped through the door.
The scenery around him shifted rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in an immensely expansive sea region, standing on a small island no more than ten zhang wide. On the island, apart from a purple crystal door, there was nothing else.
Ye Chen gazed around, observing the mist-shrouded sea surface and vaguely seeing island shadows in the distant horizon.
A trace of joy flashed in his eyes as he thought, the first hurdle is finally over!
Ye Chen asked Xuan Han Yu, "What do we do next? Directly head to the West Sea Guanghan Palace?"
Xuan Han Yu said, "No, now, you need to go to the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion!"
"What?" Ye Chen frowned, "Why should I go there?"
Though he had deceived the treasure mirror using a secret technique, it was uncertain that the people of the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion wouldn’t see through it. Wouldn’t that unnecessarily increase the risk of exposure?
Xuan Han Yu said, "Try flying in Shen Yue Sea first."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s figure flashed, intending to fly into the sea, but as soon as he left the island, his expression changed!
The first feeling was weight!
Too heavy!
Flying over the sea felt like countless planets were weighing him down, even with Ye Chen’s power, it was like being stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to proceed!
Xuan Han Yu said, "In Shen Yue Sea, flying through the air is hard; most travel is done via a special type of Spiritual Ship. The storage bag of Jidu Divine Sovereign should have one, but these Spiritual Ships are peculiar, only the lowest grade can be stored in a storage bag, while high-level ones are docked at ports on the islands.
So, if you want to reach Guanghan Palace quickly, you’ll have to first enter the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion and acquire a Spiritual Ship from there!
Fortunately, the Guiding Land has already transported you close to the Immortal Island where the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion is located, so even with a lower-grade Spiritual Ship, it won’t take long to reach there."
Ye Chen nodded, his divine soul exploring the storage bag of Jidu Divine Sovereign, finding a simple-looking wooden boat.
With a flash of spiritual light, the wooden boat descended onto the water, and as Ye Chen boarded, he circulated spiritual energy throughout his body, injecting it into the boat. The wooden boat then shot forward like an arrow, slicing through the waves.
This speed was not particularly fast, but it was much better than flying on his own...
Afterward, in Ye Chen’s hand appeared a Dragonslayer Sword, which glowed briefly as Jidu Divine Sovereign’s Residual Soul appeared before Ye Chen.
He looked at the Residual Soul and said flatly, "Tell me where the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion is. I advise you not to have any other thoughts, you should know well what the consequence would be."
Jidu Divine Sovereign shuddered involuntarily as he listened. Within the Slaughter Sword, he had seen many souls suffering from the pain of Soul Refining and was deeply shaken. Upon realizing that his fate was already in Ye Chen’s control, he sighed helplessly, assessed the surroundings, and pointed Ye Chen in a direction.
