Chapter 1642: Chapter 1638: Each Harboring Their Own Thoughts

"Indeed, it’s different now," Shen Luo came back to his senses and exclaimed in admiration.

"The changes are not too significant; we can still see the platform where we started, which shows that the position hasn’t shifted," said Nie Caizhu, tiptoeing to look down towards the middle of the mountainside.

Shen Luo turned around to glance at the great hall and discovered that the palace door they had opened had somehow closed on its own. If not for the disappearance of the prohibition on the door, they might have thought this was a great hall yet to be explored.

At this thought, Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, considering whether to continue marking this great hall. After all, if Che Qingtian or Wu Luo were to see it, it would be tantamount to helping them eliminate a wrong option.

However, he soon made a decision. He raised his hand and from In the Sleeve, a Pure Yang Flying Sword shot out, carving a deep sword mark on the wall of the great hall, leaving traces of Sword Qi within it.

After that, Shen Luo’s gaze wandered to another great hall nearby.

"Next, let’s head over there."

The Enlightened Heavenly Beast followed his line of sight and looked in that direction, pondered for a moment and shook its head, "That’s not advisable."

"Why not? That place is clearly the closest to us," asked Nie Caizhu, puzzled.

"It looks close in a straight line indeed, but there is no direct Road connecting there from here. The mountain forest here isn’t like other places; it’s not somewhere you can just stroll through. If we rush in recklessly, there’s a risk of getting lost. We should take a longer detour and head to the great hall on that mountain ridge," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast explained while pointing with its hand.

Shen Luo looked up and saw that on the opposite side, further away, there stood a great hall on a lone mountain ridge, with a Narrow Mountain Path winding from the side of the ridge, passing through several forks and extending all the way here.

"Alright, let’s head over there," Shen Luo decided with a pat.

The way forward was without troubles, and soon the three of them arrived at the great hall.

However, when they finally reached it, they found that the prohibition outside the palace door had been destroyed, and after a thorough search inside the great hall, as expected, they came up empty-handed.

"There’s still Qi left by Wu Luo; they must have gotten here before us," Shen Luo said.

"Fortunately, this place isn’t the real Tianyan Palace," sighed Nie Caizhu.

"Nevertheless, we must hurry up. The more great halls they reach, the greater the possibility of them finding the real Tianyan Palace," the Enlightened Heavenly Beast expressed its concern.

"Indeed."

Without staying too long, the three hurriedly left the great hall.

Once outside, they found that the scenery had changed again. Now they appeared in a sunken area on the mountain, while conversely, another ridge had risen on the other side.

However, on that newly risen ridge, there was no trace of any buildings.

Shen Luo raised his hand again, marking this great hall, then chose a mountain Road and rushed towards another great hall.

Time ticked by, and Shen Luo and his two companions shuttled back and forth on the narrow trails in the mountain forest, searching from one great hall to another, but they still couldn’t find the true Tianyan Palace.

Fortunately, protected by the Kunlun Mirror, the damage they sustained from the Divine Destruction Light was limited; otherwise, they would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Just as their anxiety was mounting, they unexpectedly encountered another team in front of the fifth great hall they had found.

Upon seeing Shen Luo and his two companions, Wu Luo and his team did not show the slightest bit of surprise or shock.

Shen Luo’s group, however, tensed up, became fully alert, and drew their weapons, readying themselves for battle.

Seeing this, the Shadow War Leopard and the Profound Fire Divine Steed also took out their Magical Treasures and adopted a defensive posture, but Wu Luo waved his hand, signaling them to put away their weapons.

"Friend Shen, there’s no rush to start fighting. Although we had some friction earlier, it’s not necessarily a matter of life and death. Even if the conflicts are irreconcilable, there’s no need to resolve them right now, don’t you agree?" Wu Luo said.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Shen Luo asked, frowning.

"Friend Shen, are you interested in advancing to the Taiyi Realm?" Wu Luo asked with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Luo responded with surprise in his voice, puzzled.

"I won’t hide it from you, I know of a Tianyan Palace, although it is not the true Tianyan Palace, it’s different from the other palaces. Inside there are numerous treasures including a piece of the legendary Immortal Treasure Jade Orchid. This item is one of the main ingredients for refining the Taiqing Pill, but as for the effects of the Taiqing Pill, I presume I need not elaborate further," Wu Luo said with a smile.

Shen Luo, of course, knew of the Taiqing Pill—an elixir greatly beneficial for advancing to the Taiyi Realm, comparable to a top-tier treasure.

His own talent was not that great; even with the experience of training in Dreamland to assist him, it would be extremely difficult to upgrade to the Taiyi Realm. Without the help of an Immortal Pill like the Taiqing Pill, he might never reach the Taiyi Realm in his lifetime.

"What do you think, Brother Shen, would you be willing to join us in breaking through the palace’s prohibitions together?" Seeing Shen Luo’s interest, Wu Luo quickly asked.

"What are the conditions?" Shen Luo queried.

"The location of the great hall is unique. I can lead you there, but from now on, you need to protect us with the Kunlun Mirror and help us break the prohibition together. After entering the great hall, the Jade Orchid is yours, and all other things belong to us. How about it?" Wu Luo proposed.

"Nothing doing," Shen Luo flatly refused.

"Why would you refuse such a mutually beneficial proposal?" Wu Luo asked, somewhat surprised.

"Not to mention the lack of a basis of trust between us, you’re just guiding the way, and yet, once there, you’re only offering us the Jade Orchid while you take all other treasures? Do you think this is fair?" Shen Luo let out a cold laugh, retorting.

"Friend Shen, what you do not know is that the Jade Orchid is the only treasure we can confirm exists in that great hall. As for whether there are other treasures, we can’t be sure. Perhaps there’s nothing else in there, and then we’d come away empty-handed, so everyone is taking a risk. Furthermore, we’re not just leading the way, without us presiding over the situation, you might find the great hall but be unable to open its doors," Wu Luo said with a smile, shaking his head.

Seeing her confident demeanor, Shen Luo also began to hesitate.

At this moment, the Enlightened Heavenly Beast suddenly transmitted its voice to him, saying:

"Brother Shen, their understanding of this Tianyan Palace is greater than ours; I think we can cooperate with them. Besides, acting together with them can also prevent them from finding the real Tianyan Palace before us."
