20: No One Shall See Me!Qin ShaoYang, who was yawning, couldn't help but perk up when he saw the pill, nearly jumping to his feet.The pill looked black and unremarkable on the surface, but the divine...Chapter 712 - Back into the Ancestral Dragon Temple!

The vast grassland stretched endlessly, calm and serene.

Hao Ren and Su Han were vigilant as they moved towards what seemed to be the center of the Nine Dragons Palace, wary of strange insects emerging from underground.

Within this expansive palace that resembled a large city, all one could see was vegetation; no signs of any moving creatures.

If they were permanently trapped in the Nine Dragons Palace with no way out, even if starvation wasn't an issue, they would surely feel deep loneliness and helplessness.

Legend had it that when the world first opened up, there was only one woman and one man.

Hao Ren and Su Han continued walking for hours but were still moving across this vast plain.

"We haven’t gotten lost, have we" Hao Ren asked Su Han.

"No!" Su Han replied resolutely.

Every half-hour they walked, they would leave a conspicuous marker by placing a large wooden pole several dozen meters high in obvious places to avoid unknowingly going around in circles. Looking back now, the straight poles stood tall, proving that they hadn’t taken wrong turns; it was just that the area within the Nine Dragons Palace was truly vast.

Su Han’s Mustard Ring contained some food and water for a few days’ supply. If she could recover her spiritual energy, she wouldn't need to eat at all. But now she was enduring these distances with the strength of an ordinary woman.

"Walking like this isn’t going to work; we don't know how far it is," Hao Ren said.

If they continued wasting time like this, Su Han's physical endurance would be a question mark. Additionally, Qiu Niu, currently in a low point of his strength, would recover his realm, making their escape even more difficult at that time.

The sudden entry of two cultivators into the Nine Dragons Palace should have been detected by Qiu Niu's divine sense; however, he was now focused on breaking through to a new realm and didn't have time to deal with these "intruders."

"Then what do you suggest we do" Su Han stopped and asked Hao Ren.

Her tender feet inside the white long boots had already developed blisters, but she endured in silence. The information about the Nine Dragons Palace that she obtained was from its ancient texts, only indicating that heading towards the center would lead to the Yuan Dragon Hall.

Swoosh!

A black Ancestral Dragon Temple flew overhead.

Hao Ren looked up at the rapidly departing black Ancestral Dragon Temple and then turned to Su Han, "The Nine Dragons Palace operates through a mysterious grand array. The Yuan Dragon Hall is the array’s main disc while these nine Ancestral Dragon Temples serve as its flags.

Su Han furrowed her brow and nodded slightly.

"Since the formation flags revolve around the formation disk, it should be in a swirling state. In these few hours, I've observed that all the Ancestral Dragon Palaces fly over from afar and then leave at a distance. It's not a perfect circle but an elliptical trajectory."

"Mm, continue," Su Han looked at Hao Ren, seeming to sense some insight.

"An elliptical trajectory means the Ancestral Dragon Palaces are closer to or farther from the Yuanlong Great Hall at different times. If this is a far place, then there must be a place closest to the Yuanlong Great Hall. It's like... sucking it in and then spitting it out," Hao Ren continued.

"What you mean is..." Su Han raised her beautiful eyelashes and looked at Hao Ren.

If one could risk jumping onto an Ancestral Dragon Palace, it would be akin to boarding one of the nine shuttle buses. That way, there's a hope to see the entire formation layout and to find the place closest to the Yuanlong Great Hall, which is better than walking," Hao Ren laid out his plan.

Originally, he could use Chaos Sword Qi within the Nine Dragons Palace to fly by sword, but this Chaos Sword Qi was synthesized from five elemental spiritual energies with incredible power yet high consumption. After flying for a while, Hao Ren would need to rest and replenish energy; Su Han didn’t want to rest in one place, so they walked quite far.

"What's the specific plan" Su Han stared at Hao Ren as she asked.

She admired Hao Ren’s analytical ability; a male from a science background was able to deduce the entire formation layout based on the trajectory of the occasional Ancestral Dragon Palaces.

"I just observed that when the Ancestral Dragon Palace flew over the mountain peak, it was only about a few hundred meters away. You know my cultivation level is low and I can store limited spiritual energy, so I cannot sustain Chaos Sword Qi for long periods. However, if used to its fullest extent, there's still hope of catching up," Hao Ren said.

"I didn't say your cultivation level is low." Su Han gently refuted him as she looked at the mountain peak where the Ancestral Dragon Palace had just flown over. "Alright, let’s try it then. If we continue like this, even five or six days might not find the Yuanlong Great Hall."

With Su Han's approval, Hao Ren pulled her towards that mountain peak.

The moment his Chaos Sword Qi was depleted, he hurried to reach the mountain top to quickly accumulate spiritual energy and make a successful attempt.

Su Han being dragged along despite the pain in her feet knew Hao Ren was worried about her. She also understood that this guy didn't have any sentimentality towards women, so she followed his pace, running lightly.

After reaching the mountain peak, Hao Ren immediately started working, cutting several large trees with sword qi and stacking them to form a stable platform, raising the mountain height by another ten meters.

Su Han rested on a nearby rock while watching Hao Ren work like a wild man, unable to help but smile as she looked down.

Without Hao Ren, Su Han would have been unable to move within the Nine Dragons Palace.

The chaotic sword beams flashed in his hand, and he used his sturdy shoulders to carry back these towering trees that had stood for centuries. In just two hours, the mountain forest was stripped of all its trees!

His face was covered with dirt, and his shoulder clothes were torn; yet, a 200-meter-high scaffold was built up!

"Let's go up!" Hao Ren grabbed Su Han’s hand and lifted her waist, easily taking several steps to carry Su Han onto the top of the makeshift wooden scaffold.

Su Han slid down from Hao Ren's arm and felt that his hand was already filled with calluses.

Next, it would be like waiting for a rabbit to hit the tree (waiting passively for something unlikely or impossible to happen).

Su Han firmly held onto Hao Ren's palm, ready at any moment to risk everything with Hao Ren.

Huff... Just as Hao Ren had predicted, the Ancestral Dragon Hall circled around and flew over from a distant place again.

Hao Ren tightly gripped Su Han's hand. With the rapidly approaching Ancestral Dragon Hall, even Su Han became somewhat anxious.

Given the heavy black stone material of the Ancestral Dragon Hall and its speed, it could turn any Tier 10妖獸 into meat paste upon impact.

Hao Ren's intention to jump onto the Ancestral Dragon Hall was undoubtedly a very bold adventure.

Whooosh... The black Ancestral Dragon Hall whistled as it flew over, almost crashing directly into Hao Ren and Su Han.

At such times, even a hint of fear would cause one to jump off the high platform.

But Su Han was not afraid; she tightly held onto Hao Ren's hand. Despite Hao Ren’s sweaty palms from two hours of labor feeling wet, Su Han felt real security.

BAM!

The black dot that had been as small as a grain of rice just moments ago suddenly rushed to their front and transformed into a gigantic temple over five or six people high!

Not only flesh and blood but even solid mountain peaks would be smashed open by its impact!

"Rise!" Hao Ren secretly counted the time, and a chaotic sword qi suddenly rose from under his feet.

His chaotic sword qi erupted at the fastest speed in an instant!

Crash... The platform built with hundreds of giant trees by Hao Ren was hit by the base of the Ancestral Dragon Hall. Half of the platform was instantly knocked over and rolled down into the valley.

At this moment, Hao Ren also leaped up into the air!

But the speed of the Ancestral Dragon Hall was incredibly fast; in a blink of an eye, it would surpass them! The speed that Hao Ren could maintain by focusing all his chaotic yuan force was only one or two seconds!

"Go!" In this brief period of relatively slower speed, Hao Ren tossed Su Han into the main entrance of the Ancestral Dragon Hall.

Su Han grabbed onto the stone pillars at the main entrance and quickly clung tightly to Hao Ren's arm.

Hao Ren's Chaotic Origin Power also vanished instantly.

The Ancestral Dragon Hall, sustained by the gigantic formation, was still moving at an incredibly fast speed. Hao Ren outside the Ancestral Dragon Hall was like a person hanging on a high-speed train!

Hao Ren floated out diagonally with his feet splayed open. Below him was a plain that dropped nearly a thousand meters! Falling at such a speed, even someone of the Xun Level might not survive!

Su Han clenched her teeth as she held onto the stone pillar with one hand while dragging Hao Ren with the other.

She was now just an ordinary woman, and Hao Ren was a heavy man. Moreover, this was during such high-speed movement!

"Let go!" Hao Ren shouted.

If he fell down, perhaps there might still be a chance of survival; however, if Su Han were dragged down by him, she would definitely not survive! The plan was so risky that Hao Ren now somewhat regretted it!

Su Han bit her silver teeth tightly. Her slender shoulders had already been rubbed raw on the stone pillar, but she still refused to let go.

Huff!

The Dragon God Hall changed its trajectory and swung out an arc.

Hao Ren flew outward once more!

Su Han almost got dragged along too!

Hao Ren turned around to look. The peak had already disappeared from sight, clearly indicating the speed of this Ancestral Dragon Hall! This also proved that the territory within the Nine Dragons Palace was vast!

At such a pace, it would take several hours for the Ancestral Dragon Hall to circle around once. If he relied on his Chaotic Sword Qi and walking speed, it might take months to find the Yuanlong Grand Hall.

Hao Ren looked at Su Han as she gritted her teeth in determination, trying to mobilize whatever weak spiritual energy remained within him.

As the Ancestral Dragon Hall swung out a large arc, the weight Su Han had to bear kept increasing. Her arm left a deep bruise on the stone lintel at the entrance of the Ancestral Dragon Hall!

Bang! Two sword energies suddenly erupted from under Hao Ren's feet and finally canceled the force exerted by the Dragon God Hall, allowing him to grab onto the pillar with both hands. He then struggled inside and took a few deep breaths.

Su Han massaged her dislocated arm and calmly leaned against a stone tablet in the Ancestral Dragon Hall, grabbing her wrist and forcefully realigning it despite the pain that flashed across her face.

After narrowly escaping danger, Hao Ren looked up at the name inscribed on the entrance of the Ancestral Dragon Hall — Balixa Hall!de Sword across her chest, creating numerous sword flowers.Ding ding ding ding...In the blink of an eye, Su Han used her proficient sword skills to deflect dozens of dagger-sized golden blades!Her swo...
