Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2341 Raw 2447 : Flying Immortal Corpses

Chu Chaoyun had several mysteries on him.

How did he enter the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb? What difficulties did he have?

It was hard for Xiao Chen to answer whether Chu Chaoyun was reliable or not.

However, Xiao Chen was certain that no matter what, he would never attack Chu Chaoyun first.

“Let’s go. Let’s get going too,” Xiao Chen shouted, and the Demon Blood Vulture turned into a beam of scarlet light and entered that space-time passageway.

“Whoosh!”

The instant Xiao Chen passed through the ring of Ethereal Immortal Palace keys, the scene changed. The Ethereal Immortal Palace appeared at a mirror-like Immortal lake releasing mist-like Spiritual Energy.

A magnificent white-jade palace stood in the center of the Immortal lake.

The palace looked like the most perfect art piece in the world. It was pure white and flawless, without defects at all, so perfect that it felt like it did not belong to the world.

This elicited sighs of amazement when one looked at it, inspiring a reluctance to leave.

It was like a fairy with such unworldly beauty that it entered deep into one’s heart; one would be unable to leave with just one glance.

It intoxicated one into forgetting everything, entering a dream that was difficult to awaken from.

That’s not right!

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly as he suddenly startled to his senses, feeling dazzled.

When his vision cleared up, he saw that Xiao Suo and Hao Kai had already jumped off the Demon Blood Vulture.

Then, the two walked on the lake, slowly heading towards the Immortal palace.

However, the horrifying thing was that the two’s bodies slowly sank into the lake. The farther they walked, the deeper they went, all unawares.

Xiao Chen soared into the air, turning into a beam of light before arriving above the two.

Then, he grabbed them with one hand each. Exerting some strength, he quickly pulled the two up.

“Splash!”

As the water splashed, Xiao Suo and Hao Kai were startled awake. Then, they asked with some confusion, “What happened?”

Xiao Chen put the two down and honestly told the two what he saw earlier.

The two felt so startled that they paled. A chill ran down their backs as their bodies trembled slightly.

This was too terrifying. They had not noticed at all.

These two were considered rare experts. Even so, they had not noticed anything earlier. Without Xiao Chen, they might already have sunk into the lake.

“Big Brother, look!”

Xiao Suo suddenly felt startled while standing on the lake. He pointed to the bottom of the lake and retreated a few steps.

Several female Immortals’ corpses floated in the lake’s depths. They looked exactly like how they had before they died, beautiful with snow-white skin.

However, they did not have any signs of life at all. It looked extremely strange.

“Immortal Burial Lake,” Xiao Chen muttered when he saw this scene. The moment he spoke, he felt somewhat confused.

Why did he know that this place was called Immortal Burial Lake? He had never seen this in any secret texts or records at all. action

“Immortal Burial Lake?”

Hao Kai frowned slightly and said, “So, the legend is true.”

Feeling it was strange, Xiao Suo asked, “What legend?”

Hao Kai looked at the other two and said, “Legend has it that before the Immortal Epoch ended, the most supreme female Immortal of the Immortal Court, Xi Wangmu, sensed a vast calamity approaching. Not wanting her beauty to be ruined and her physical body to fall, she led a group of female Immortals to jump into this Immortal lake, committing suicide.

[TL Note: In Chinese legends, Xi Wangmu is known as the Queen Mother of the West (a literal translation of her name) and also the keeper of the peaches of immortality, which increases one’s lifespan if one ate it.]

“Back then, the entire Immortal Court felt shocked at seeing this scene. This was how Immortal Burial Lake got its name. Xi Wangmu’s jumping into the lake and dying also signaled the start of the Immortal Epoch’s destruction.”

Xi Wangmu was an existence that could rival an Immortal King during the Immortal Epoch. Even during the Martial Epoch, some could see a short introduction of her in secret ancient records.

However, such a powerful, supreme, and magnificent Xi Wangmu was helpless before the changing of the epochs and chose to commit suicide.

Xiao Suo immediately trembled. Feeling fearful, he said, “In other words, if Big Brother did not pull us up earlier, we would be accompanying those Immortals’ corpses?”

“Are you saying that Xi Wangmu is at the bottom of Immortal Burial Lake?” Xiao Chen asked as he looked at Hao Kai.

Shaking his head, Hao Kai replied, “I am not certain about that. I only saw this in an ancient book. If not for Brother Xiao saying the words ‘Immortal Burial Lake, I would not have recalled it.”

“Big Brother, how did you know about Immortal Burial Lake?”

Xiao Chen showed a complicated expression. However, he did not answer Xiao Suo’s question. Perhaps he had once read about it in the past but forgot it, like Hao Kai, only remembering it later.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Where are the others?”

Xiao Chen looked around and did not see Chu Chaoyun, Yuan Zhen, and the others. He could not detect any aura at all.

“That’s right. Where did those people run to? Did they all sink?”

At the mention of this, Xiao Suo and Hao Kai showed suspicious expressions.

The Demon Blood Vulture turned into a little scarlet bird and landed on Xiao Chen’s shoulder. Then, it sent a voice projection, Master, there seems to be a bewilderment barrier here, something like an illusion realm. If you cannot break it, you will never be able to see the true scene.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he looked at the indistinct Immortal Palace within the spiritual mist. He agreed with the Demon Blood Vulture’s opinion.

How do you know this? Even I did not notice it.

Hehe! The lair of my clan has a similar place. The bewilderment barrier formed naturally; there are no signs of any formations. Unless one is prepared, one cannot sense the bewilderment barrier’s existence, no matter how high one’s cultivation is.

Can you bring us through the bewilderment barrier?

How is that difficult? It is as simple as returning home.

The Demon Blood Vulture chuckled as it turned into a beam of scarlet light and led the way.

Xiao Chen called out to Xiao Suo and Hao Kai, then said, “Follow it.”

Rushing without pause, the Demon Blood Vulture led the three over the mirror-like lake releasing Spiritual Energy.

The three did not dare to lower their heads. Not only did the floating female Immortals retain their appearance, but their eyes were open.

If Xiao Chen and his companions lowered their heads, they would see countless eyes staring at them.

Such a feeling was bone-chilling. No one dared to take unnecessary looks.

We broke out, the Demon Blood Vulture suddenly announced after a while. Then, the three’s eyes lit up.

The Ethereal Immortal Palace, which had been hidden in the fog, now appeared in all its glory before the three. Its reflection in the sky formed a pair of palaces.

Without the hazy fog, the perfect and flawless Ethereal Immortal Palace lost its mystery and allure. However, it gained a bewitching nature.

It looked very beautiful.

“Whoosh!”

Many surprised pairs of eyes glanced over at Xiao Chen’s group. They were Yan Cangming, Yuan Zhen, Chu Chaoyun, and the others who had broken through the bewilderment barrier long ago.

Xiao Chen immediately understood. These people clearly understood the Ethereal Immortal Palace much better than he did.

They had made preparations and had supreme treasures that could break through the bewilderment barrier.

After all, the various super factions participated in the sealing of the Wings of Time. They definitely would have some information about it left behind.

If the Azure Dragon bloodline had not gone extinct, Xiao Chen would have gained access to such secrets as well.

Xiao Chen looked around and fixed his gaze on Chu Chaoyun. It turned out that he knew about the bewilderment barrier as well.

Chu Chaoyun felt somewhat embarrassed. When he caught Xiao Chen’s gaze, he turned his head to avoid it.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. Without the Demon Blood Vulture, he would still be stuck in the bewilderment barrier.

These people only took one look before shifting their gazes back to the Ethereal Immortal Palace.

All of them looked worried and sighed.

Hao Kai observed their expressions and roughly understood what happened. After some thought, he said, “Without the inheritance key, no one can open up the Immortal palace. It looks like everyone made a trip here for nothing.”

As Xiao Chen looked at the sorrowful expressions of Yuan Zhen, Qin Ming, and the others, he guessed that they had used some special methods but failed to open the Immortal palace. They could only look at it, unable to do anything.

“Brother Xiao, everyone has tried already, but they could not open the Ethereal Immortal Palace. Would you like to try?”

Xi, who stood with Ming Xuan and Yang Qing in the distance, smiled as he looked at Xiao Chen.

Everyone’s gaze focused on Xiao Chen once again.

A bright light flashed in their eyes. Xiao Chen had performed many shocking deeds and was also one of the unfathomable Sovereign Emperors here. Perhaps he could open the Ethereal Immortal Palace.

Xiao Chen knew that he did not understand this Ethereal Immortal Palace as well as this group of people did. Without the inheritance key, there would be no way to open the Immortal palace.

Xiao Chen did not answer Xi, only focusing on sizing up the Immortal palace. He felt spellbound.

From ten kilometers away, he could already clearly see every detail of the Ethereal Immortal Palace, which magnified the shock and astonishment in his heart even more.

This Immortal palace looked so perfect; it did not look manmade. It was like an exceptional gem, filled with boundless charm.

Just at this moment, something strange happened. The calm lake surface suddenly started trembling. A terrifying existence slowly awakened at the bottom of the lake. When that strong aura came out of the water, it inspired despair.

Underwater, the floating female Immortals’ corpses opened and closed their mouths, making a strange sound. However, one could clearly hear them saying “Sky Dome” if one listened carefully.

“Sky Dome! Sky Dome! Sky Dome! Sky Dome!”

The Immortal voices gathered. The expressions of the various outstanding talents changed dramatically, revealing alarm and anxiety.

They did not have much mental preparation for this unknown and bizarre scene.

“Boom!”

The lake surface’s roiling intensified. Eventually, an explosion occurred. A wave soared up, and the many female Immortals’ corpses floating at the lake bottom leaped out.

If one saw this scene during the Immortal Epoch, this would be an alluring and enticing scene, a scene of female Immortals coming out of the bath.

Now...this was a scene of flying Immortal corpses.
