Chapter 802: Remains Prohibition

At this moment, on the vast and boundless rocky plain.

Several experts from the Imperial Palace and numerous female disciples from Lingxiu Pavilion had already successfully entered.

Feeling the cold wind eroding the True Essence within their bodies, they had no way to block it and felt quite headache-inducing!

Moreover, sharing the same thought as Er Gouzi, several Imperial Palace experts even sacrificed their Dharma Artifacts, preparing to dig holes in the ground to recover some True Essence before proceeding.

But just then, one of them stiffened, suddenly looked ahead, and exclaimed in shock: "Look quickly, that... that is the Imperial Palace?"

The others were stunned, all raising their heads to look into the distance, and immediately stood there dumbfounded.

For the Imperial Palace experts, that Imperial Palace was simply too familiar.

Even the numerous female disciples of Lingxiu Pavilion could recognize that the palace floating in the sky was indeed the Imperial Palace of Xuanzhen Continent!

"What... what is this situation?"

"Could it be that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has arrived?"

"No, His Majesty the Holy Emperor cannot possibly move the Imperial Palace; that is our very foundation!"

"Could it be an illusion?"

The several Imperial Palace experts all wore confused expressions.

They had been on the Heaven Ascension Road for several months and had no idea that the Imperial Palace had been taken by Xu Que; at this moment, they mostly felt that an illusion had appeared!

Suddenly, on the roof of one of the buildings, a dog head popped up, holding a piece of meat in its paws and gnawing on it.

"Hm?"

The crowd was immediately startled and simultaneously shouted in unison: "Er Gouzi!"

"Grass!"

Hearing this voice from afar, Er Gouzi was startled, so much so that he dropped the meat in his hand, and immediately flew into a rage: "Are you all crazy! What are you shouting for? Do you believe this Divine Venerable will slap you to death with one palm!"

"Great, this isn't an illusion!" The crowd was instantly overjoyed and all accelerated their speed to dart forward.

But the several Imperial Palace experts wore blank faces, completely unable to figure out how this Imperial Palace had ended up here!

However, there was no leisure time to guess at the moment; they could only follow the crowd together to evade the erosion of the cold wind!

Boom!

At this moment, the Imperial Palace suddenly shook, and immediately afterward, it began flying forward.

"Ao! This Divine Venerable's meat!" Er Gouzi had just climbed out onto the roof and wanted to pick up that piece of meat, but as soon as the Imperial Palace flew away, he immediately let out a miserable cry, watching helplessly as that piece of meat grew farther and farther away.

"Fellow Daoist, wait for us!" The several Imperial Palace experts also became anxious, shouting loudly, and their speed of advancement inadvertently increased.

The numerous female disciples of Lingxiu Pavilion also accelerated one after another.

However, the Imperial Palace showed no intention of stopping whatsoever, still flying forward quickly and steadily.

The only thing that relieved everyone was that they barely managed to catch up to the rear of the Imperial Palace; the cold wind was blocked by the massive volume of the entire Imperial Palace and no longer eroded their True Essence.

Thus, along the way, they became much more relaxed.

At this moment, inside the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Xu Que had easily Life Refined this palace, controlling it at will; sitting on the Dragon Throne with Jiang Hongyan, with a single thought, he could ascend to the heavens and enter the earth, roaming in all directions!

"It truly lives up to being an Immortal Artifact! A good item!" Xu Que said with a face full of satisfaction.

For him, although this thing possessed no combat power, it was still far more practical than the Ancient Life and Death Wheel; going out directly with a floating Imperial Palace was a hundred times better than driving any Battle Jet or sports car!

"At this speed, we should be able to cross this area very soon!" Jiang Hongyan spoke, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

In the distance, points of light had already begun to appear, resembling the exit of a cave!

Xu Que nodded: "We are about to arrive, yet we still cannot find Zhang Tiandao; I don't know where exactly he died... Eh?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Que suddenly felt his spirit surge, and he stood up.

Standing in the Great Hall, his field of vision was enough to take in everything without limit, and he instantly discovered that near the exit ahead, there was a man-made hole dug into the ground.

Although there were countless holes in this place, not just one, this hole was very different; it had a beast hide spread over the entrance, and the material of the beast hide was exactly the same as that map of Wei Zixun!

"It seems we have found him!" Xu Que immediately curled the corner of his mouth upward, increased the flying speed of the Imperial Palace, and rushed toward the exit.

Before long, the surrounding rock walls gradually narrowed; Xu Que also put away the Imperial Palace, and he, along with Jiang Hongyan and Er Gouzi, stepped out from within.

The crowd rushing up from behind wore faces of amazement; they could completely confirm that this Imperial Palace was under Xu Que's control!

"Fellow Daoist, how... how did the Imperial Palace end up in your hands?" One of the Imperial Palace experts could not help but ask.

"I snatched it!" Xu Que responded simply and clearly, heading toward that hole without looking back.

Snatched?

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately widened their eyes, their faces filled with terror!

Oh my! Has this lad gone mad?

Of all things to snatch, he actually snatched His Majesty the Holy Emperor's Imperial Palace?

"This lad abducted the Saint Venerable and also snatched the Imperial Palace; isn't His Majesty the Holy Emperor going to be furious to the point of madness?"

"Wait, could it be that he is being hunted down by His Majesty the Holy Emperor and thus hid on the Ascension Road?"

"Damn, that is absolutely possible!"

The several Imperial Palace experts stared wide-eyed at each other, struggling to swallow their saliva.

To offend His Majesty the Holy Emperor to such an extent, yet still survive to reach the Ascension Road and dare to be so arrogant, there is probably no second person in this world who could do it!

At this moment, Xu Que had already arrived above that hole entrance and immediately descended to the ground!

Boom!

With a movement of his mind, vast Divine Soul Power immediately spread open, like towering waves and billows, surging directly into it!

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Xu Que's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

His Divine Soul Power advanced halfway before suddenly being blocked by an invisible force; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward even the slightest bit!

"There's a Restriction!"

Xu Que immediately judged that this underground cave had been arranged with a Restriction, and not an ordinary one at that!

With a whoosh, he darted toward the cave entrance, his gaze sharpening as he stared directly inside.

As expected, a brilliant Spiritual Light lingered within, emitting ancient Dao Rhyme, while countless Runes continuously circulated!

This was an extremely powerful and extraordinary Restriction.

However, through the Restriction's light curtain, Xu Que saw a skeleton lying deep within the cave, with several lines of characters carved into the Stone Wall beside it!

"Whoever brings that bitch from the Yi Ren Clan may pass through the Restriction and obtain all that I possess!"

Yi Ren was a very bizarre ancient surname, belonging to the woman who had betrayed Zhang Tiandao back then and fled alone.

Zhang Tiandao had also left words on the beast hide, stating that one must bring back that bitch's head to obtain everything he owned, including the Sky-Breaking Talisman!

Alas, now that over ten thousand years have passed, that woman might already be dead, or perhaps she had even Ascended; otherwise, Wei Zixun and the others wouldn't have come back empty-handed!

"It seems I'll have to force my way in! I just wonder if using the King of Acting Cool Fist here will destroy the mountain cave..." Xu Que rubbed his chin, hesitating.

At the same time, on a Stone Mountain outside the exit.

A man and a woman with fit figures and white feathered wings growing from their backs, resembling angels, were staring at the Stone Wall!

The scene displayed on the Stone Wall was none other than Xu Que and the others inside the mountain cave.

Watching Xu Que pace back and forth at the cave entrance, the two Tianren Clan members immediately revealed disdainful smiles on their faces.

"After so many years, someone has finally come again to seek their own death!"

"Those lowly humans are truly stupid!"

"They don't even think: if the things inside were really so easy to obtain, we of the Tianren Clan would have taken them long ago; how could it ever be their turn?"

"Sigh, that Restriction is too powerful, but the Clan Leader also mentioned that in another ten thousand years, the Restriction will weaken, at which point we can obtain the Sky-Breaking Talisman and leave this place to open up a new Heaven and Earth!"

"What a pity; if we had known that person possessed so many treasures, we wouldn't have tested him—we could have just captured him directly!"

"It's useless to say these things now; we hadn't even emerged back then! However, what interests me now is how to toy with these lowly humans; if not for the clan rules restricting us, I would go out and find them right now!"

"Haha, no need to rush; the 'Heavenly Trial' hasn't been activated for many years. Once they come out, we will be free to toy with them during the Trial!"
