Chapter 602: Chapter 386: 5th-Rank Sect Flying Star Valley, 7 Profound Treasure Tower Battle!
Gu Yuan stared intently and saw in the distance a magnificent array of palaces, like a vast dragon stretched out, settled beneath the sea.
The halls were resplendent, adorned with pearls, agate, white jade bricks, golden tiles, glazed pillars reaching to the sky.
Countless treasures embellished it, exhausting every form of luxury, creating an awe-inspiring underwater palace, worth being deemed a miracle.
Not only that, but on all sides of the halls, numerous fish swam around, each emitting different hues of light, resembling cloud-like ribbons, illuminating the halls and making them appear even more ethereal.
But Gu Yuan’s gaze quickly swept past these extravagant scenes, focusing on a large mystical orb atop the glazed golden roof of the hall.
That orb was round and smooth like a sphere, shining brightly like a great sun, illuminating the vast sea endlessly as if it would never extinguish.
A surging yet gentle spiritual qi surged out like a tide, emanating from the brilliant orb filled with mystical vapor.
"This is..."
Gu Yuan’s gaze was fixed on that mystical orb, filled with shock.
"Hahaha, good eye, spotting the treasure among the ornaments of my demon palace at first glance!"
"That is not a treasure pearl, but a demon pill, the demon pill of a tier six Profound Nether Celestial Whale!"
"This demon relied on its cultivation, refused to submit to our demon palace’s rule, acted contrary several times, and was ultimately beheaded by the Old Marquis. The demon pill was placed atop the hall as a warning to all, showcasing the might of our demon palace!"
The Profound Turtle also stopped, gazing at the demon pill atop the golden hall with a look of solemn pride in its eyes.
This is the glory of the demon palace.
"A tier six demon pill..."
Gu Yuan lowered his head, letting out a soft sigh, concealing the tumultuous waves in his heart.
There are mountains beyond mountains, towers beyond towers!
He dared not imagine that a great demon compared to a Celestial Spirit Realm would be slain, with its demon pill placed in the hall for thousands to point at.
Just how powerful is the Marquis of this demon palace?!
Yet, after the initial shock, a faint yet stirring sense of courage surged like waves within Gu Yuan.
Interesting, truly interesting!
The immortal path appears too short, seeming dull; only such turbulence seems invigorating!
With thoughts swirling in his heart, Gu Yuan raised his head again, eyes bright.
"You do have some courage..."
The Profound Turtle had been stealthily observing Gu Yuan’s expression. Upon seeing him swiftly raise his head, eyes bright and without much fear, he couldn’t help but nod.
"Follow me!"
The Profound Turtle shifted its form, no longer revealing its true body but transforming into a stern-faced elder. However, the turtle shell still rested on its back, showing it wasn’t of the Human Race at a glance.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan followed behind the Profound Turtle, mana surging, leaping forward, exiting the Sea Eye passage, heading towards the distant White Dragon Demon Palace.
The Sea Eye passage didn’t directly connect with the demon palace; there was still a considerable distance between the two.
But with the escape light of the Profound Turtle and Gu Yuan, it was nothing ordinary. Before long, they traversed layers of seawater and arrived near the palace.
Golden bricks paved the ground, white jade for stone; before the hall’s gate stood four burly men with four whiskers at the corners of their mouths, holding large white banners, guarding the gate without looking aside.
However, though these figures were burly, their demon qi was not dense, merely tier two Earth Demons.
Upon forming the Golden Core and ascending to a great demon, even the minimum would grant a millennial lifespan. Such beings, even in the East Sea Demon Palace, would be a Sea Patrol Demon General, with a position, never reduced to the monotonous duty of gatekeeping.
However, even though these gatekeeper little demons were of low strength, the large banner in their hands concealed extreme power, containing a convergence of immense seawater, and if wielded, even a Daoist Embryo Cultivator would find it difficult to withstand.
"Profound Sea General!"
At this moment, the leading Earth Demon, upon seeing the Profound Turtle leading Gu Yuan, stepped forward, slightly bowing in greeting.
"Catfish Warrior, how are the Dragon Banquet guests coming along?"
The Profound Turtle nodded faintly, then asked softly.
"Over half of the celebrating guests from the Seventy-two Mansions have arrived, and Jiuze Demon Palace has also sent envoys."
"A few from the Human Race have also been led in by a few Demon Generals."
The man’s expression remained unchanged, yet he did not conceal it, relaying the Dragon Banquet guests’ information.
Having spoken, he glanced sideways at Gu Yuan, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Even Jiuze Demon Palace has come..."
The Profound Turtle was momentarily stunned, his eyebrows seeming to knit, but they relaxed shortly after.
"Forget it, it doesn’t concern us..."
The Profound Turtle shook his head, then handed a jade talisman to the Catfish Warrior, motioning to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan immediately produced the Dragon Banquet Jade Talisman, presenting it to the Catfish Warrior.
"Duty-bound to do so, please!"
The Catfish Warrior inspected the token, then apologetically spoke, making a gesture of invitation.
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, no need to rush, I’ve arrived too!"
But just then, from behind came a hearty shout, and a robust man with fiery skin, like he was ablaze, rode forth in escape light, leading a young man, landing before the hall.
"Brother Fire!"
Seeing the newcomer, the Profound Turtle grinned, greeting him with a bow.
"Hahaha, Brother Xuan, you’ve even brought someone from the Human Race. I thought there were no destined people left in your guarded seas!"
The man, appearing like a blazing fire, looked at Gu Yuan, bursting into laughter.
"It’s merely a timely encounter!"
The Profound Turtle chuckled lightly.
At this moment, the young man behind the fiery man, with a fair complexion, hair tied with a wooden pin, looking genteel and elegant, also raised his head, looking at Gu Yuan, curiosity flickering in his eyes.
