Chapter 287: Deep Within the Ancient Battlefield, the Trial Ground Opens

Upon hearing this news, Li An's heart filled with anticipation.

This mysterious palace was the ultimate goal of their adventure.

Only by entering the palace could they obtain true power and become true experts.

Thus, Li An led the women and quickened their pace forward.

Cutting through thorns and brambles all the way, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the ancient battlefield.

Here, they saw an enormous palace.

The palace's great doors were tightly shut, covered in mysterious runes.

Li An carefully observed the palace's great doors and discovered that these runes were extremely complex, seeming to be a powerful seal.

To open the palace's great doors, they had to break the seal of these runes.

Li An began attempting to break the seal of the runes. He employed his own magical power, constantly trying various methods.

Soon, he finally broke the seal of the runes.

The palace's great doors slowly opened, and a powerful aura emanated from within.

Li An and the others carefully stepped into the palace, awestruck by the sight before them. The palace's interior was resplendent in gold and jade, filled everywhere with precious treasures and powerful magical artifacts.

At the very center of the palace, there was an enormous Wang Zuo.

A mysterious figure sat upon the Wang Zuo, emanating a powerful aura that made one dare not look directly at it.

Li An and the others watched the figure on the Wang Zuo warily, unsure whether it was friend or foe. Just then, the figure on the Wang Zuo suddenly spoke.

"Who are you? Why have you come here?"

The figure's voice was deep and powerful, brimming with authority.

Li An stepped forward and answered, "We are adventurers, here to seek power. We heard there is a mysterious palace here, so we came."

The figure nodded slightly and said, "You are very courageous! However, this is not a place you should have come. This palace contains boundless power, but it is also full of danger. If you do not possess sufficient strength, you will be unable to leave."

Li An said, "Is that so? But I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop our advance."

The figure was silent for a moment, then said, "Very well, since you are so confident, I shall give you a chance! In the depths of the palace, there is a trial ground. If you can pass the trial, you will obtain the power within the palace.

However, if you fail, you will remain here forever."

Li An and the others accepted the challenge without hesitation.

Thus, under the figure's guidance, they arrived at the depths of the palace.

Here, they saw an enormous Dadeshi Sect.

The stone door was covered in mysterious runes, emanating a powerful aura.

Li An and the others knew this was the entrance to the trial ground.

They pushed open the stone door and walked in.

The trial ground was filled with all manner of dangers and challenges.

They had to face powerful monsters, complex magical traps, and difficult puzzles.

However, they did not retreat in the slightest, but bravely met the challenge.

They pushed open the stone door and stepped into the trial ground.

An ancient and mysterious aura rushed toward them, the surrounding light instantly dimming, as if they had entered an entirely different world.

The trial ground's passageways wound and twisted, with faint light flickering on the walls, exuding an eerie quality.

Li An walked at the very front, cautiously observing the surroundings, while the women closely followed behind him.

"Everyone be careful, this place is full of unknown dangers."

Li An reminded in a low voice.

The women nodded one after another, weapons gripped tightly in their hands, ready to respond to any danger that might appear.

They advanced slowly along the passageway, and before long, encountered the first challenge—a group of powerful magical puppets.

These puppets were tall and large, made of hard metal, emanating a powerful magical aura.

Upon seeing the group, the puppets immediately launched an attack.

They swung their enormous fists, smashing toward the group.

Li An's gaze sharpened, and he swiftly cast magic, forming a sturdy barrier before him that blocked the puppets' attack.

The women were not to be outdone, each casting their own magic and skills, engaging the puppets in fierce combat.

With Yuigahama Yui's tremendous strength, she swung her greatsword and hacked fiercely at the puppet.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's combat skills were superb, as she nimbly dodged the puppet's attacks and seized the opportunity to counterattack 0....

Yukinoshita Haruno's magical control was powerful, as she unleashed formidable magical attacks, driving the puppets into steady retreat.

Xiang Xiang Monan, relying on her speed and agility, weaved through the puppet horde, seeking Jideji Society.

Through their joint efforts, they finally succeeded in defeating this group of magical puppets.

However, before they could catch their breath, the second challenge arrived in quick succession.

This time, they arrived before an enormous magical formation.

Mysterious light flickered within the magical formation, emanating powerful magical force.

They knew this magical formation surely concealed some kind of danger, but they also understood that only by passing through it could they continue forward.

Li An carefully observed the magical formation, attempting to find a way to break it.

He discovered that the light within the magical formation seemed to follow a certain pattern, and that mastering this pattern might allow him to break the formation.

Thus, Li An began attempting to guide the light within the magical formation.

He employed his own magical power, carefully touching the light within the magical formation.

Soon, he finally found the pattern of the magical formation and successfully broke it.

They passed through the magical formation smoothly and continued forward.

On the road ahead, they encountered many more grueling challenges—complicated magical traps, powerful magical creatures, and the like.

But under Li An's lead, none of them ever flinched; they faced every challenge head-on, bravely.

As they pressed deeper into the Trial Grounds, everyone's stamina and magical power were gradually being worn down.

Li An knew they had to find a safe place to rest and recover their stamina and magical power as soon as possible—otherwise they wouldn't be able to keep going.

At last, they spotted a relatively safe room tucked into a corner.

The room held a few simple furnishings they could use to rest and recover their stamina.

The group filed into the room and sat down one after another to rest.

Li An, meanwhile, stood at the doorway, watching their surroundings warily.

"Everyone, use your time to recover your stamina and magical power—we have no idea how many more challenges are waiting for us up ahead."

Li An said.

The women nodded in agreement, then closed their eyes to rest and recover their stamina and magical power..
