Chapter 490: Azure Water Cave Heaven

The top of the Azure Water Palace!

Wang Yu was startled upon hearing this, and his gaze couldn't help but sweep toward the lake surface below the huge island.

Could it be that the real Azure Water Palace is in the lake?

Unfortunately, there was clearly some kind of restriction in the nearby void, and divine sense power seemed unable to leave the body too far, let alone daring to release divine thoughts wantonly to explore the lake water below the island.

"Alright, we can enter the palace directly from here. Fellow Daoist can put away the flying magical artifact first." Li Tianqi raised his hand and beckoned at this moment, and the token that had originally sunk into the front of the bone boat flew out in a flash and landed steadily in his hand.

Wang Yu stepped on the deck with one foot, and the bone boat immediately stopped in mid-air.

Then the two fell lightly from the bone boat.

Wang Yu pinched a spell with one hand, and the bone boat immediately shrank rapidly, turning into the size of a fist and sinking into his sleeve.

Li Tianqi raised his sleeve, and a yellow communication talisman flew out, flashed, and directly sank into the void in front of him, disappearing without a trace.

After a dozen breaths of time, the nearby void fluctuated, and a white misty light gate emerged, from which walked out a middle-aged man also wearing Azure Water Palace attire.

He had ordinary features, a head of messy hair, a bulbous nose, and was holding a blue disc in his hand.

"I was wondering who it was, so it's Wang Wang Shidi Li who has returned. And who is this fellow Daoist? Do you also want to enter the palace?" The messy-haired man glanced at Li Tianqi and asked coldly, his body emitting Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage spiritual pressure fluctuations.

"So it is Li Li Shixiong Guan on duty. This is Fellow Daoist Wang Yu, who was invited by the Hall Master's order. The Hall Master's decree is inside. Li Li Shixiong can inspect it." Upon seeing the slightly chubby man, Li Tianqi's face changed slightly, but he handed over the token in his hand.

"Since you want to bring an outsider into the palace, you must definitely check it." The messy-haired man took the token from Li Tianqi's hand unceremoniously, placed it directly on the disc in his hand, and scanned the token with his divine sense.

"This Fellow Daoist Wang is here to comprehend that holy item in the palace?" A moment later, Li Li Shixiong Guan returned the token to Li Tianqi, his face revealing a hint of strangeness.

"Not bad. Fellow Daoist Wang Yu has extraordinary spell talent and meets the conditions for comprehending our palace's holy item, but it still needs the Hall Master himself to confirm it. Does Li Li Shixiong have any questions?" Li Tianqi replied with an unchanging expression.

"Wang Wang Shidi Li is joking. Since there is Uncle-Master Chai's decree, there is naturally no problem. Wang Wang Shidi, bring the person into the palace." The messy-haired man yawned, looked at Wang Yu deeply again, and turned back into the white light gate while holding the disc in his hand.

Li Tianqi didn't even think and strode in.

After a slight hesitation, Wang Yu also walked in.

The moment he stepped into the light gate, everything in front of him blurred, his head felt heavy and his feet light, and the world spun.

When Wang Yu saw the scene in front of him clearly again, he was actually in an empty stone hall.

The entire hall was built with some kind of emerald green stone, and under his feet was a white light-flashing array, and there were three open cyan transmission axes around.

This was actually a transmission array!

Although it was only a three-axis transmission array and the transmission range would not be too far, it still made Wang Yu click his tongue!

The Azure Water Palace is too extravagant.

Could it be that all disciples enter and exit the Azure Water Palace using transmission methods?

While Wang Yu was looking around, Li Tianqi, who had been transmitted in together, seemed to see what he was thinking and explained:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, this method of returning directly to the palace is not the normal way to enter and exit the Azure Water Palace. Only with the special approval of the palace's Golden Core cultivators can one enter the palace using transmission methods. Ordinary disciples enter and exit the palace generally through the top entrance passage you saw earlier."

"So that's how it is. Your palace's grand scale is indeed worthy of being a great cultivation sect." Wang Yu praised in realization.

At this time, Li Li Shixiong Guan, who had brought them in, no longer paid attention to the two, walked to a futon beside the transmission array, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, let's go. I will first take you to see the Hall Master to hand over the task. Comprehending the holy item still requires his nod." Li Tianqi also ignored the messy-haired man and, after saying this to Wang Yu, led him out of the transmission hall.

As soon as Wang Yu walked out of the hall, he felt thick spiritual energy rushing toward him, which refreshed his spirit, but the scene outside the hall made him freeze for a moment.

He saw that outside the hall was a huge square, a thousand acres in size, and there were dense streets leading to all parts of the square, and further away, one could see mountain peaks and hills, continuous and endless.

Between the mountain peaks, one could vaguely see various azure buildings such as pavilions and halls, and there were many men and women wearing Azure Water Palace attire flying across the low altitude above the square.

Wang Yu subconsciously raised his head and looked at the high sky.

He saw that at an altitude of more than several hundred zhang, there was a layer of blue misty light curtain, which turned into the entire sky.

There was even a red scorching sun hanging below the light curtain, illuminating the entire area.

"This is..."

Wang Yu looked at everything that seemed familiar and his face changed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has noticed. Not bad, our Azure Water Palace itself is a small secret realm, sometimes also called the Azure Water Cave Heaven." Li Tianqi smiled and clapped his hands after seeing Wang Yu's surprised expression.

"Small secret realm, Azure Water Cave Heaven. Wang has truly broadened his horizons." Wang Yu exclaimed sincerely, his thoughts turning quickly.

The fact that this Azure Water Palace actually used a secret realm as its sect location was truly beyond his imagination. At the same time, this also showed that the strength of the Azure Water Palace was simply not comparable to a Golden Core sect like the Four Symbols Sect.

At this time, Li Tianqi shook his sleeve and released a white flying bird about a zhang in size. After greeting Wang Yu, the two stepped onto the giant bird's body.

The next moment, the giant bird spread its wings and flew into the air, flying rapidly toward a certain direction.

Li Tianqi stood on the giant bird's body and briefly introduced the Azure Water Palace to Wang Yu:

"Fellow Daoist Wang, our Azure Water Palace disciples, like other cultivation sects, are divided into outer sect, inner sect, and true disciples, as well as Foundation Establishment deacons, guests, and Golden Core Hall Masters and Elders.

Besides the Azure Water Hall of the Palace Master's lineage, there are four major branch halls, thirteen spiritual peaks, and seventy-two true mansions.

The four major branch halls are the 'Martial Spear Hall' in charge of external affairs, the 'Jade Balance Hall' in charge of internal affairs, the 'Hidden Edge Hall' in charge of punishment, and the 'Gathering Origin Hall' in charge of managing resources.

The thirteen spiritual peaks are basically where Golden Core Elders live. Each spiritual peak has two to three Golden Core peak masters and deputy peak masters.

The seventy-two true mansions are the caves opened up individually for the seventy-two true disciples of the palace.

The one I am taking you to see this time is Uncle-Master Chai, who is in charge of the Jade Balance Hall. He is a Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator and is also the person specially in charge of managing that innate spiritual item. Fellow Daoist Wang, try to speak less when the time comes. Uncle-Master Chai does not like people who talk too much."

"Many thanks for Brother Li's guidance. I know how to do it." Wang Yu thanked him.

The giant flying bird flew over more than ten tall mountain peaks and finally landed toward a large group of azure buildings between several mountain peaks. ===== CHAPTER 491 =====
