The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 834

Chapter 834: Chapter 831: Mysterious Palace Chapter 834: Chapter 831: Mysterious Palace Bai Xiaotian, although surprised by Shen Luo's progress in cultivation, knew now was not the time to discuss such matters and quickly followed after him.

Before long, with the combined efforts of Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian, aided by the attacks from Nie Caizhu within the light curtain, they easily broke through the white restriction.

“Cousin, Bai Daoist friend…” Nie Caizhu flew out from within the restriction, her face showing a look of surprise and joy.

“As long as you're fine,” Shen Luo said, seeing that Nie Caizhu was unharmed. He nodded slightly, finally putting his mind at ease.

“Where is this place? Is it really inside Chaoyin Cave?” Bai Xiaotian looked around and asked for confirmation.

“It should be. There are rumors within our sect that there is a secret realm opened by Guanyin Bodhisattva inside Chaoyin Cave. It must be this place,” Nie Caizhu said, also looking around.

“I see. However, earlier outside, in the Purple Bamboo Forest, the Liangyi Microdust Illusion Array suddenly increased its power. A surge of white fog emerged out of nowhere, separating us, and then the prohibition on the Big Gate of Chaoyin Cave erupted, pulling all of us inside. Do you have any idea what happened?” Bai Xiaotian oh-ed, then continued with his inquiry.

Shen Luo was also very puzzled by this and looked towards Nie Caizhu.

From what he had seen before, it seemed the incident was related to Nie Caizhu.

“It's all my fault. Earlier, when that old man pounced towards us outside, I panicked and activated the White Flag given by the Protector; I tried to control the Liangyi Microdust Illusion Array to counter him, but I made a mistake in my haste, which caused the array's power to suddenly surge. Then, I stumbled upon the entrance to Chaoyin Cave. The White Flag resonated with the prohibition of Chaoyin Cave, triggering the eruption of the secret realm's entrance, which pulled all of us in here,” Nie Caizhu indeed admitted with her head lowered in apology.

“So that's what happened, but it's really bad that those from the Demon Race have entered Chaoyin Cave,” Bai Xiaotian said, looking towards the remaining five prohibited light curtains.

“It was my mistake,” Nie Caizhu said with a downcast expression, blaming herself.

“Everything happened due to a fortunate coincidence; cousin, you shouldn't blame yourself too much,” Shen Luo comforted.

“You're right, it's not your fault. Now is not the time to talk about this. What should we do next? Should we join forces to release that Protector while the others haven't come out yet?” Bai Xiaotian changed the subject and suggested.

“Better not. These three True Immortal restrictions are too mysterious, and I can't see through which one imprisons the Protector. If we release the wrong person by mistake, we would have no place to bury ourselves. In my opinion, while the others are still imprisoned, we should first look for the treasure that Guanyin Bodhisattva hid here. On one hand, we can prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of those thieves, and on the other, we can use it to protect our own lives. Once we escape the danger, we can then hand over the treasure to Mount Putuo,” Shen Luo urgently advised, then explained.

“Brother Shen speaks wisely,” Bai Xiaotian immediately nodded.

“But what if, after we leave, someone from those demons comes out first, releases other demons, and they all join forces against the Protector? That's not right; there were five demons altogether, plus the Protector, there should be six restrictions left here. Why are there only five? Could it be that someone wasn't brought here?” Nie Caizhu raised an objection, then suddenly asked.

“The number of restrictions is correct. That withered old man outside has already been slain by me. As for the Protector's safety, cousin, you need not worry. With his great strength, even if he is overwhelmed by the enemy, he will certainly be able to defend himself,” Shen Luo said.

Nie Caizhu and Bai Xiaotian were both shocked and incredulously looked at Shen Luo.

There is a vast chasm between the strength of a Great Mahayana Stage cultivator and a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Earlier during the trial, they could only think about preserving their own lives against that Great Mahayana Stage Frog spirit, yet Shen Luo could slay a Great Mahayana Stage!

Nie Caizhu felt a pride she couldn't quite explain as she was shocked.

And Bai Xiaotian sighed inwardly, his feelings complex.

“We shouldn't stay here for long; let's leave this place,” Shen Luo said without elaborating further and flew towards the white palace on the opposite side of the square.

Bai Xiaotian and Nie Caizhu, without saying more, promptly followed Shen Luo.

The three of them soon landed in front of the white palace. As they got closer, they could feel the grandeur of the white palace even more. The entire surface of the palace was engraved with golden runes, among which the Buddhist mantras could be faintly seen, and one could feel the surging power of the Buddha from a distance.

The structure of the white palace was quite strange, with no Big Gate. In the front, there was a long passage leading deeper inside, where it quickly became dark and the deeper areas were unclear.

“Cousin, as a disciple of Mount Putuo, do you know what's inside?” Shen Luo looked into the depths of the passageway and asked.

“This Chaoyin Cave was the cultivation site of the Guanyin Ancestor Master. I only heard my master say that many years ago, when the Ancestor Master left Mount Putuo, she sealed several treasures here. As for the specific situation inside, she did not tell me,” Nie Caizhu shook her head.

Shen Luo frowned upon hearing this.

However, he didn't hesitate, secretly gripping the Eight Hanging Mirror and the Purple Great Bead and taking the lead in entering.

Nie Caizhu and Bai Xiaotian also each brought out protective treasures and followed closely behind.

The passageway was quite long, and as the three of them didn't dare to walk too fast, it took a good while before they reached the end, where an exit radiating a faint golden light appeared before them.

The three exchanged glances and stepped into it together. After everything in front of them blurred, a great hall appeared.

The hall was immense, spanning forty to fifty zhang wide, majestic and grand. In the central part of the great hall stood a lifelike statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, carved so expertly it seemed to be alive.

Behind the statue of Guanyin were three passages leading in different directions.

Seeing the statue of Guanyin, Nie Caizhu immediately paid her respects reverently.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian also did not dare to neglect to bow in respect.

“There are three passages here. Since the Chaoyin Cave is the treasure hiding place of the great Bodhisattva, those treasures should be ahead,” Shen Luo said, looking towards the three passages with a flashing look in his eyes.

“We're pressed for time, and those monsters might break through the prohibitions at any moment. We should split up to explore and quickly secure the treasures,” Nie Caizhu said with a slight nod.

Neither Shen Luo nor Bai Xiaotian had any objections to this.

“Here are two Mount Putuo tokens. Keep them on you. There might be guards protecting the treasures ahead, and if you encounter any, you can use them to identify yourselves,” Nie Caizhu took out two white jade tokens and handed them to Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian.

“Brother Nie is thorough indeed,” Bai Xiaotian praised as he accepted the token.

Shen Luo also received the token and tucked it away close to his body.

The three then each chose a passage. Bai Xiaotian, perhaps spurred by seeing Shen Luo slay the withered old man, was the first to set out, flying into the passage on the right.

Shen Luo chose the leftmost passage and was about to enter when Nie Caizhu suddenly called out to him.

“Cousin, what is it?” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow and asked.

“I have a Universal Deliverance Talisman here. Although it's not as miraculous as the Willow Dew Talisman, it can also help quickly recover mana. Keep it on you, just in case,” Nie Caizhu took out a green Talisman with a flower pattern on it and handed it over.
