Chapter 812: 812
There were several groups of palaces in this fragment of the Heavenly City known as 'Jade Lake' .
Venerable White and Su Clan's Sixteen had also found several palaces while exploring the place earlier, and Su Clan's Sixteen had even fought some resentful spirits in one of them .
Anyway, Demon Venerable Lushan Street showed the way to Venerable White, Song Shuhang, and Su Clan's Sixteen, directly heading toward the western side of this fragment of the Heavenly City .
Then, after arriving in front of a black-colored wasteland, Demon Venerable Lushan Street stopped and pointed his finger toward the ground . "Next, we can only proceed through the ground . "
"You can keep showing the way . I'll keep up with you while bringing along the others," Venerable White said .
As soon as he heard the words 'proceed through the ground', Song Shuhang felt his belly becoming full . . . Luckily, Venerable White's Earth Crossing Technique was excellent, and it was unlikely that he would screw up halfway .
After traveling through the earth and reaching a depth of 200 meters, Song Shuhang and the others reached an underground palace .
They could vaguely tell that this place must have been rather prosperous back in the day .
But now, this place was in ruins, just like those palaces on the surface . Beyond that, the whole place was covered by a thick layer of dark-gray mist .
After Demon Venerable Lushan Street brought everyone there, a conflicted expression appeared on his face once more . He was struggling in his mind again .
Venerable White couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "I feel that this guy is becoming a little annoying!"
Had it happened only once or twice, he would have even praised Fellow Daoist Lushan Street for his strong will . But if it kept happening at intervals of a few minutes—with the guy continuously going through a mental struggle with a conflicted expression appearing on his face again and again—one would start to get a little annoyed!
But right at this time, Demon Venerable Lushan Street lost the battle of will again . Therefore, he sighed, and said, "Beware of that mist . That mist isn't normal—it's a mass of chaotic energy . Foul and evil beasts can condense and take shape from that mist, just like it happens in the Netherworld Realm . After all, this underground palace was once corroded and polluted with the energy of the Netherworld Realm . "
Song Shuhang gazed the grayish mist below . As expected, it was the energy of the Netherworld Realm—or, to be more precise, the essence of the energy of the Netherworld Realm . During the past few days, he had had a lot of dealings with the Netherworld Realm . Therefore, he was rather familiar with this type of energy .
"As expected . . . the destruction of the Heavenly City in ancient times was probably related to the Netherworld Realm . . . " Song Shuhang muttered to himself .
Just as they were discussing, the turbid energy within the mist started to revolve, finally condensing into a huge black dragon that dashed toward Venerable White and the others .
However, the huge black dragon had yet to approach them that something flew out of Song Shuhang's body while emitting a dazzling golden light .
It was the ❮Writing of the Sage❯, a book that the super-amazing Sage of the scholarly faction had personally written while he was still alive . Song Shuhang hadn't researched the book too much after receiving it, and he had no idea how it worked .
Nevertheless, this classic book would automatically activate when facing things that were 'foul and evil' .
The ❮Writing of the Sage❯ projected in the air the picture of a ten-meter big golden book that immediately went to attack that huge black dragon made of turbid energy .
"Bang!"
The huge turbid dragon was immediately crushed to pieces .
After the attack went well, the ❮Writing of the Sage❯ leisurely returned to Song Shuhang's body . While returning, it even brought along the chaotic energy the huge dragon had transformed into after getting smashed to pieces .
It was like a cat capturing a mouse and smugly bringing the trophy back to show it to its master, not caring in the least about its master potentially getting a scare after seeing the dead mouse .
"Don't bring back the energy of the Netherworld Realm . It's useless to us!" Song Shuhang called out .
However . . . his voice had hardly faded when his Heart Aperture shook .
It was again a familiar feeling!
In the next moment, the nucleus in his Heart Aperture emitted a golden light, projecting the picture of a lifelike lotus flower in the air .
The roots of the lotus flower spread out and took root in the mist .
In the next moment, Song Shuhang felt that the lotus flower had absorbed a stream of energy, and most of this energy entered the nucleus in his Heart Aperture .
Venerable White looked at the lotus flower and muttered, "Interesting . . . so aside from spirit stones, this thing can devour the energy of the Netherworld as well?"
Wasn't this ability the same as that of the Virtuous Golden Lotus of the scholarly faction?
The speed at which the lotus flower was absorbing energy was rather fast . When they were in Venerable White's treasure house, it managed to instantaneously absorb the energy of 600 spirit stones of the Fifth Stage . Then, in the time it took to say a few words, it had absorbed several thousand spirit stones .
But now, while facing the essence of the energy of the Netherworld Realm, which was even easier to absorb, the speed at which the lotus flower was operating was three times faster!
In the blink of an eye, a large portion of the thick mist shrouding the palace below them had disappeared . If things continued like this, all the mist covering the underground palace would be thoroughly absorbed by Song Shuhang within one hour .
Demon Venerable Lushan Street closely watched Song Shuhang . Just how many hardships had he gone through to get past this mist the first time he got here?
But now, all this mist that made him suffer so much back then had turned into the food of this small cultivator of the Third Stage .
Well, it seemed that everyone was different and had different strong points!
But right at this time . . . the mist below seemed to have sensed how scary Song Shuhang's lotus flower was .
The terrified cries of beasts were transmitted from within the mist . In the next moment, the mist curled up and retreated several thousand meters .
However, that lotus flower that had come out of Song Shuhang's chest was unforgiving . Its roots infinitely stretched and closely chased after the mist .
One was continuously retreating, and the other continuously advancing . Before long, the mist had already left the palace, retreating and shrinking toward the open space behind the palace .
But the more the mist was retreating and shrinking its size, the more the roots of the lotus were getting greedy . It seemed it liked very much to absorb the compressed energy of the mist .
