Chapter 2179: Palace

Misty Cloud TranslationsEditor: Misty Cloud Translations

While waiting, Sima You Yue surveyed her surroundings and realised that the trees here were a lot lusher as compared to the ones on other mountains.

She wondered whether or not it had anything to do with that energy.

Half a day later, Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said that the waves had appeared. Even though they were standing outside the barrier, they could sense the waves of boundless energy pulsating outside.

On the outside, it was unknown how big the energy would become. It was no wonder Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior did not bring her inside immediately.

Sima You Yue could feel the energy rippling through her body and felt that it was rather familiar. However, she could not put her finger on it.

Once the wave had passed, Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said, “This energy is strong sometimes and weak at others. When it’s strong, it’s strong enough to kill two of my clansmen. When it’s weak, its similar to how it is today.”

“When did this begin?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Three months prior.” Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said, “In the past, this place was not much different from anywhere else. However, three months before, this barrier suddenly appeared along with these waves of energy. If you count the time, it happens to coincide with the time that you woke.”

“That’s really coincidental, then.” Sima You Yue laughed. She called out Little Roar and let him open up a hole around the size of a door. Then, she turned to Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior, saying, “Let’s go in.”

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior was the first to enter, then she hugged onto Little Roar and entered.

Inside, it looked very different from how it appeared outside. However, when they entered, they could clearly sense the power from earlier that had not yet scattered.

“The inside really is a lot more powerful than the outside. You can’t sense the energy anymore on the outside, but it’s so obvious in here.” Sima You Yue said.

“Indeed.” Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said, “Be careful.”

The both of them continued to draw close to the mountain. The weather in the Tagahan Desert really caused their mouths to turn dry. Sima You Yue took out two wine jugs filled to the brim with water and handed one to Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior didn’t actually need to drink. He had been in here for so many years, so he had long since gotten used to the environment here. However, when he saw Sima You Yue’s slender hand extend in front of him, he still took the jug and drank it tokenly.

The moment it entered his mouth, he realised that it was different from usual.

“This water has an ancient aura.” He said with certainty, “What water is this?”

“Chaos River Water.” Sima You Yue said.

She felt like, since this water could help her grandfather to advance to the Emperor rank and break through the Heavenly Law, there might be some unknown benefit to drinking it like it was ordinary water.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior did not pry any further. He was an ancient Spirit Beast and his strength was comparable to an Emperor. He had his own path within him and did not need the heavenly law to recognise him for him to advance to the monarch rank. That was why the water was just a little special

to him. It did not raise too much of an interest.

The both of them traversed the desert very quickly and entered the oasis. It could be considered to be the foot of that mountain.

The moment they entered this place, the heat immediately disappeared as well. It was as if they had entered an entirely different area. She secretly affirmed the idea that the environment had something to do with that energy.

“I don’t know where that energy is. It seems like we have to enter the underground to take a look.” Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said to Sima You Yue when he couldn’t find any traces of the energy underground or in the mountain.

“Alright.”

Going underground was something that wasn’t difficult for her. It wasn’t the first time that she had done something like this.

As such, the two of them used their spirit energy to surround themselves. Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior led the way while SIma You Yue followed behind him.

Sima You Yue watched Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior take her through the earth without any trouble at all. When the earth touched him, it was as if they parted away on their own accord. She was incredibly surprised.

The two of them headed downwards for around half a day, then actually arrived in an underground palace. Outside the underground palace, there was a huge man made cave. There was also a barrier surrounding it. In this place, ten thousand metres underground, there was a separate space.

With Sima You Yue around, the two of them arrived outside the earth palace smoothly.

“How strange. Why is there an underground palace here?” Sima You Yue observed the outside of the underground palace. The tall underground palace had ancient spirit beasts carved into the side. Every single one of them in a realistic way. It was as if they were guarding the palace.

Also, it was just too strange for an underground palace to appear in a place like this. When this underground palace was made, it was definitely after the time that the ancient mine had formed. Since it was here, it was impossible that they would not have discovered the ancient mines. Since they had

discovered it, why did they ignore this huge mining area? This was too unexplainable.

“This is not an underground palace.” Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said, “This is a cemetery.”

“Cemetery? Who would build their cemetery like a palace?” Sima You Yue asked in surprise.

She recalled the general layout that she had seen earlier. It truly did not seem like a palace where people lived in.

Whose cemetery was this? Even Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior did not know. When he had been sealed in the mine, he was completely unaware of what was going on outside.

“We might find out once we go in and take a look.” He came outside the main gate and stretched a hand out to give it a push. However, he found out that he wa unable to move it at all!

She was secretly a little surprised and used even more force to try and open it. However, it didn’t budge at all. Now, he was more than a little surprised. He was extremely taken aback.

He was an ancient spirit beast and the power in his body went without saying. Not to mention a tiny little door, even if it was a mountain, he had enough power to level it. However, this door in front him refused to budge.

Sima You yue realised that he was unable to open the door after two tries so she walked over and asked, ‘Is this door very heavy?”

As she stretched forward a hand to try, she managed to open it a little bit without even using much strength.

“Ah? It’s not very heavy at all!” Sima You Yue said in a small voice. Then, she used more energy and was actually able to open it big enough that a person would be able to squeeze through.

Sima You Yue was shocked, but Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior was even more so. He knew just how much force he had expanded earlier on, but that door refused to move. Furthermore, she had only used a little bit of strength and was able to push it open!

Sima You Yue walked in and saw that Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior was still examining the door without coming in, so she remained where she was and waited for him.

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior stretched out a hand and pushed the door that was half opened. Based on logic, since the door had already been opened, it should not have taken too much energy to open it a little more. However, when he pushed it, it did not move at all.

“You Yue.”

“Hmm

“Come over and give it a try.”

“Alright.”

Sima You Yue walked back and came in front of the giant door. She chose a side, used force and opened the door the rest of the way.

“Tt seems like this door only acknowledges you.” Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said.

“Seems like it.” Sima You Yue could see it as well, “But it’s rather strange. This place seems to be really ancient. How could it acknowledge or recognise me?”

“There are two scenarios to something like this happening. Bloodline, aura. Right now, we won’t be able to tell which reason it is. Take a look inside. Maybe you’ll be able to figure something out.”

“Alright.”

The two of them were about to walk out when a powerful burst of energy poured out from the palace.
