"Ha ha, it's just that the clothes can be a bit troublesome when flying through the air." Dongbo Xueying was in an extremely good mood.
When flying through the air, the clothes would instantly be stored in the storage bracelet, and the storage bracelet left by Senior Leizhen was also of the Extraordinary Saint Rank Lower Grade. As an extraordinary item, it could also be particleized.
However, the particleized state was not suitable for battle.
Without armor to protect the body, without any protective items, and without weapons to block, encountering an opponent of the same level would easily result in a significant disadvantage. The human form was the strongest form for battle.
"Once the master joins an Extraordinary organization, they will be granted some basic Extraordinary items," the golden monkey said.
"Uh-huh," Dongbo Xueying nodded.
Over the past six years, while living with these two Extraordinary alchemical creatures, he had also learned a lot about the Extraordinary world.
Like some Extraordinary organizations, the Witch God Temple, the Demon God Society, and even the Earth God Temple, the Blood Blade Tavern... Dongbo Xueying had gained some understanding of them.
Of course, the monkey and the bird were just alchemical creatures, and their knowledge was only superficial.
"Let's go and take a look at the world entrance," Dongbo Xueying said with a smile.
"The world entrance is right there!" The golden monkey and the golden great roc bird helped point the way.
Because of the map, Dongbo Xueying already knew the location of the world entrance.
On one side of the grand hall, which appeared to be an ordinary crystal wall, Dongbo Xueying extended his right hand. Immediately, a hot, light red aura shot out from his palm, instantly enveloping that section of the wall. The wall then transformed, revealing an ancient, hundred-meter-tall door. At the same time, a wave of energy from the door directly transmitted into Dongbo Xueying's mind.
"I am Heifeng."
"On the other side of this door is a large Extraordinary world. Do not enter unless you have reached the Saint Rank."
The mental wave also transmitted a map and some annotations.
The map was of the world behind this door.
"Truly a large world, it even has a Demigod native," Dongbo Xueying felt a bit wary after understanding the map annotations. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the owner of the Heifeng Palace died, there was a Demigod in the large world! The owner of the Heifeng Palace was so powerful at the time that the Demigod was scared into hiding. As for now, that Demigod must have died of old age, but it's estimated that other Demigods might have been born. This kind of world is very dangerous, but it is also an astonishingly large treasure!
"My current strength is too weak; entering would be suicide," Dongbo Xueying shook his head and said, then turned to leave.
This underground grand hall.
Has another main entrance, but it requires Extraordinary power to open.
"Rumble" Dongbo Xueying's Extraordinary aura seeped into the mechanism, and immediately the originally smooth crystal wall revealed a door. The door rumbled as it rose, exposing a series of green steps behind it.
"The old master swept through a small area around here," the golden monkey said helplessly, "just the relatively remote areas near the underground grand hall. The truly important places... were guarded by protectors, making it impossible to advance further."
"How did Senior Leizhen fare when he swept through?" Dongbo Xueying asked.
"They were just some items and tools casually placed by the owner of the Heifeng Palace. However, for the old master, it was a significant gain," the monkey said.
The layout of the palace was quite complex.
Many places were clearly used for experiments by the palace owner. Of course, the valuable items and tools were gone, probably taken by Elder Leizhen at the time.
"Further ahead, it's impossible to proceed," the golden monkey said.
"Because of these two?" Dongbo Xueying pointed ahead, where there were two lion-like sculptures on either side of the wide passage.
"Just these two," the golden great roc bird rarely spoke, its eyes cold and calm, "both have peak Saint Rank strength. The old master couldn't break through their defenses at the time."
"Peak Saint Rank?" Dongbo Xueying was amazed.
Truly luxurious.
Alchemical creatures are different from humans, who can die of old age! Alchemical creatures are truly immortal, so they can be passed down to future generations.
Like Leizhen, as an elder of the Sea God Palace and a peak Saint Rank powerhouse, he only left two initial-stage flying alchemical creatures. Of course, this was also because Leizhen sold many treasures to break through in seclusion! But at Leizhen's level... it was also very difficult to obtain peak Saint Rank alchemical creatures.
"Two peak Saint Rank alchemical creatures, just casually placed in the palace?" Dongbo Xueying thought of the black-armored soldiers he had once killed, which were formed from black mist, not alchemical creatures.
"The old master said that the owner of the Heifeng Palace was a very terrifying Demigod mage. The palace array he set up has yet to be breached by any Extraordinary!" the golden monkey said, "Breaching this array is much harder than sweeping through a large Extraordinary world. These two alchemical creatures are just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Heifeng Palace's protective forces!"
"Master, do you see that faint arc line?" the golden great roc bird beside him said.
"I know, Senior Leizhen mentioned it," Dongbo Xueying nodded. There were many patterns on the ground, and indeed, there was a large arc line around the corridor. This arc line might have been a trace left by the Heifeng Palace owner for his experimental assistants, telling them not to cross it. Once crossed, they would immediately be attacked.
"Let's try it out." Dongbo Xueying flipped his hand and took out a dart, flicking his wrist!
Whoosh.
The dart, enveloped in flame aura, instantly turned into a flaming meteor and shot towards one of the lion-like sculptures.
The lion-like sculpture suddenly opened its eyes, and whoosh! whoosh! Two crimson beams shot out from its eyes, hitting the silver coin. The silver coin instantly turned to ashes with a 'chi' sound.
Dongbo Xueying was secretly amazed.
The lion-like sculpture coldly glanced at Dongbo Xueying, then closed its eyes, showing no signs of life, like a regular sculpture.
"Fortunately, it faithfully follows the palace owner's orders and does not attack life outside the arc line," Dongbo Xueying smiled, "Alright, we've seen everything. Monkey, bird, let's go. It's time to leave."
He was merely investigating.
With his current strength, not only could he not conquer this palace, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter a large Extraordinary world.
After all...
He had just barely entered the Extraordinary realm.
...
Standing in front of a crack in one of the walls of the underground grand hall.
"It's time to go home." Dongbo Xueying waved his hand, and the golden monkey and the golden great roc bird were immediately enveloped by the power of heaven and earth and stored in the storage bracelet. Storage items cannot hold living beings, but corpses and alchemical creatures can be stored.
"Let's go!"
Whoosh.
Dongbo Xueying instantly turned into a flame and flew into the crack.
Following the wide crack, it gradually narrowed, and Dongbo Xueying flew very fast.
As the crack narrowed, it connected with some natural underground cracks, creating forks! Otherwise, a single strike wouldn't have extended for over a thousand miles.
Fortunately, Dongbo Xueying had memorized the map left by Leizhen, so the forks didn't affect him.
Flying along, some areas were extremely narrow! The flame passed through.
In just a short while.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Hot lava rivers flowed slowly, and the cracks in the surrounding rocks were also filled with lava.
Whoosh.
A flame shot out from the lava-filled crack and transformed into a young man in black clothes in the air above the lava river.
"Lava river!" Dongbo Xueying looked at the lava river in front of him and immediately showed a joyful expression, "I'm out!"
In just a short while, he had traveled over a thousand miles to reach the lava river.
"This is the Wuya Volcano."
Dongbo Xueying then turned into a stream of water, which flew at high speed, though slower than the flame, it was relatively more concealed.
In a few breaths, the stream of water flew out of a volcano's crater and quickly rose to the clouds in the sky.
This volcano was only 1,200 miles from Yishui City's Snowstone Mountain, a relatively famous volcano in the Qinghe County called 'Wuya Volcano.' Dongbo Xueying was very familiar with it.
...
It was night, with a bright moon in the sky.
A stream of water flew at high speed through the clouds, quickly covering 1,200 miles.
Whoosh.
The stream of water transformed into a young man in black clothes.
The young man in black clothes slowly descended, passing through the clouds. He looked down at the mountain where he had grown up and the familiar castle on the mountain.
