"What's happening?!"
Li Yan suddenly looked up at the sky, secretly thinking that something was amiss.
The Dragon Palace is a special existence called the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, according to what he had found, it is intermingled between reality and illusion.
If one wants to enter, they can only do so through dream journeys.
To make it appear is even more difficult; otherwise, the Cloud Lord's Divine Que, existing for so long, would have been discovered already.
After years of planning, Lu Sheng succeeded.
And what he wanted was not the Dragon Palace itself, but to use this Cave Heaven Secret Realm to fish out the Nine Tripods lurking beneath the Divine State's Earth Vein.
Timing also must be precisely managed.
Otherwise, if the opportunity is missed, as the Nine Tripods pass through Shu, who knows how many more years it will take to find another chance.
Therefore, before taking action, everyone carefully examined the situation.
According to the speed at which Innate Astral Bane gathers at the magic platform within Shu King Palace, even with the bizarre situation in Chengdu, a few more hours are needed at least.
Let alone, the city folk have already been freed from the spell.
Sufficient for them to destroy the magic platform.
Yet unexpectedly, the Dragon Palace appeared ahead of time.
Lu Sheng must have used some means to accelerate it.
Moreover, the Nine Tripods might pass by even earlier!
Aside from Erlang, who is in a stalemate with the Nuo Mask, at this moment everyone raised their heads to look towards the sky, their eyes filled with shock.
Thunder rumbled, and the shadow shaped like a palace became increasingly clear.
The crowd could already see that the architecture of the palace was very ancient, seemingly made purely by stacking stones.
Simple in structure, yet majestic in aura.
"Hahaha..."
The King Shu, now seized by Lu Sheng, no longer concealed himself, rose slowly with a laugh, stood straight with hands behind his back, bearing no signs of previous senility.
Turning his head to the side, he laughed and said, "Li Dao You, look, hasn't it all fallen into place?"
"The vastness of heaven and earth cannot be constrained by mere 'Heavenly Rules'!"
In his words, that pride becomes unmistakable.
Li Wenyuan observing, felt somewhat annoyed in his heart.
If not for his early planning—turning the Five Commanderies Princess into a living dead, using Fifth Prince Xiao Jinghong's resentment as a conduit to seize incense from the Shu Prince Mansion's National Ancestral Altar—how could it have succeeded so quickly?
This matter, Lu Sheng doesn't mention at all.
This crowd, dwelling long in the mundane world, probably has forgotten the limits of heaven and earth!
Of course, now all are in the same boat, Li Wenyuan does not wish to offend Lu Sheng too much, so he advises gently, "Things are not yet accomplished, controlling the Dragon Palace and fishing out the Nine Tripods is not so easy."
"Rest assured, Daoist."
Lu Sheng smiled indifferently, "The River God has already scattered, the Dragon Lady's Divine Soul is still unstable, this Dragon Palace is ownerless, how to proceed is up to me."
Having said that, he gestured towards the distance.
Zhao Jie, with disheveled hair on the magic platform, remains excited.
Seeing Lu Sheng's gesture, his heart jolts, immediately pulling out a gourd and placing it on the platform, simultaneously waving a Magic Flag, stepping Astral Step, chanting spells around the gourd.
Zhao Jie hails from the Liuren Immortal Sect, known for a particularly famous spell, the Gourd Technique, which can refine the "Heavenly Doctor Gourd" and "Eight Immortals Ruyi Gourd."
One is used for healing and disaster relief.
One for House Protection and magic duels.
The gourd is pitch-black, lustrous, with surface reliefs of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, embellished with densely drawn talismans in vermillion.
Originally a Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure, Zhao Jie spent years to re-refine it.
Although powerful, relying solely on this is clearly insufficient.
Lu Sheng, seeing this, slightly smiles at Li Wenyuan beside him, "Daoist, I still need your treasure Magic Flag for assistance."
Li Wenyuan replied coldly, "Are you joking?"
"That young man invited Wen Lingguan, hidden in the air but not acting, if I act I will surely be discovered, with no chance of escape."
Lu Sheng remained unperturbed, smiling, "Rest assured, Daoist, since I've mentioned it, how could I not be prepared?"
Saying that, he nodded slightly at the side.
Two young eunuchs immediately raised a large canopy.
With red-hued golden threads, the top adorned with pagoda motifs, embroidered with nine cloud dragons.
This item is quite grand, like an umbrella sheltering the two below.
"This is..."
Sensing the aura above, Li Wenyuan was somewhat surprised.
Lu Sheng shook his head, "This Shu King, though appearing respectful, harbors substantial ambition, merely cowering due to the current Emperor, thus enduring till old age."
"This is ceremonial regalia from the previous Great Xing Dynasty; through five generations of Emperors, it came into Shu King's possession, secretly treasured ever since."
"It's suffused with imperial Qi Fortune, enough to support for a while."
"Alright."
Upon hearing, Li Wenyuan hesitated no longer.
He came from the Daluo Law Realm, naturally aware of what this represents, even if discovered, it can withstand for a while.
But missing the Nine Tripods means never having another chance.
He took up the red cloth bundle beside him, unwrapping it revealed five flags, embroidered with four symbols and talismanic script, the Mystical Sect's Five Directions Flag.
If Li Yan were around, he'd notice this treasure is precisely the Magic Flag he saw while eavesdropping on Bai Qihong's conversation.
Being valued by Lu Sheng, this Magic Flag truly is extraordinary.
Li Wenyuan chanted a spell, biting his middle finger, dotting it on each of the five flags, then forming a mantra, pointed forward.
Swish, swish, swish!
The five flags instantly whirled out.
Just as seen before, the five flags can drive Astral Wind, maneuver with the wind, roaring, already surrounding the magic platform.
Soon, more Astral Bane Energy gathers.
The thick fog originally surging into the palace, follows the magic platform's rotation, forming a large white cloud mass.
And Zhao Jie upon the platform, his head tilted, fell to the ground, soon snoring loudly.
The assisting magicians around were not astonished.
The Dragon Palace exists between reality and illusion, even with all means to bring it to Chengdu and make it manifest, one must enter through dream-based Divine Travel.
Here, they are prepared.
As the Nine Tripods passes through Chengdu's Earth Vein Acupoint, it will briefly appear within the Dragon Palace, as long as Zhao Jie contacts it, he can bring it out.
