Everyone present was stunned...
Before, among so many people, the strongest was only a Golden Dragon disciple, but now five Golden Dragon disciples have suddenly appeared... This is too unbelievable!
"I really don't know where these monsters came from..." This thought popped into many people's minds.
Chapter 592 The Great Enemy!
As the golden light emanating from the Golden Dragon Token enveloped Little Fairy Doctor as she passed through the spiritual array surrounding the ancient Heavenly Palace, she could clearly feel the intense fluctuations in the surrounding space. Then, light surged before her eyes, and the scenery of heaven and earth shifted; they had entered the true inner domain of the ancient Heavenly Palace.
Compared to the outer realm, the inner realm appears even more magnificent and imposing. Although everything is in ruins, the surrounding spiritual energy is still countless times richer than that of the outside world, which shows just how terrifying a sacred cultivation ground the ancient Heavenly Palace was!
"According to the Lord of the Mandala Domain, the ancient Heavenly Palace was divided into five halls and nine palaces. This outermost area should be the territory of the nine palaces, and beyond the nine palaces lies the Heavenly Pool..."
As Little Fairy Doctor finished speaking, the gazes of the six people behind her became somewhat eager.
"I wonder if that so-called Heavenly Pool Baptism is as powerful as Lord Mandala said. Can it really help us advance to the Great Perfection of the Ninth Rank Supreme?"
The Supreme Being seemed eager to try, but he spoke with some doubt.
The Sleeping Emperor glanced at him with his hazy eyes. After understanding the simpleton's personality, he didn't take the other party's suspicion of his own domain lord to heart. He simply said indifferently, "The domain lord once said that the Heavenly Pool Baptism can truly transform a person, and at the same time, it can refine one's spiritual power. Even the supreme dharma body one cultivates can be sublimated in this baptism."
"Legend has it that someone who reached the ninth rank of perfection broke through to the Earthly Sovereign realm directly during the baptism..."
In order to entice these guys to devote themselves wholeheartedly to exploring the Heavenly Palace, Mandala revealed quite a bit about the benefits of the ancient Heavenly Palace.
However, not just anyone is qualified for the Heavenly Pool baptism. According to the rules of the ancient Heavenly Palace, only disciples of the ancient Heavenly Palace who have gained the approval of the Nine Palaces and possess the tokens of the Nine Palaces can enter the Heavenly Pool.

"Although the ancient Heavenly Palace has changed drastically, this rule probably still exists, just like climbing the Dragon Gate. So before that, we still need to find the location of the Nine Palaces and see if we can obtain a token of the Nine Palaces."
Little Fairy Doctor's words directly determined everyone's next goal.
However, finding the core of the Nine Palaces within such a vast area is probably not an easy task, so for the time being they can only proceed step by step to search the countless ruins below.
Compared to the outer realms, there are far fewer people now qualified to enter this ancient heavenly palace. Given the vastness of the region, it's nearly impossible for people from different factions to meet, making the inner realm much quieter.
Perhaps it was truly a matter of destiny, because Little Fairy Doctor had only led everyone on a casual search when they discovered the Thunder Palace, one of the Nine Palaces, on a seemingly ordinary floating stone island...
"Is this really the location of Lei Mansion, one of the Nine Mansions?" Even Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and doubt as she looked at the ordinary stone island in front of her.
Qinglin unleashed the Azure Serpent Three Flower Child technique, carefully examining the protective array outside the stone island. He then said, "This array is extremely troublesome. Judging from its power alone, none of the arrays we've encountered along the way can compare. So even if this isn't Lei Mansion, it must be one of the other nine mansions."
"So how do we get in?"
Qinglin observed carefully again and said, "It's not difficult. Even the strongest formation will develop flaws after such a long period of time. Besides, this formation was already damaged to begin with. It must have been greatly affected when the ancient Heavenly Palace fell. I've found a crack. If we work together, we should be able to open a temporary gap..."
Without further ado, after Qinglin pointed out the location of the crack, the eight people attacked simultaneously, directly blasting a crack more than two meters high into the broken array.
"go!"
Led by Little Fairy Doctor, the eight of them quickly transformed into streaks of light and rushed into the crevice.
After entering the grand formation, a massive stone island appeared before the eight people. It turned out that Lei Mansion was actually a hidden world, and the ordinary stone island seen from the outside was just an illusion.
On the stone island, there are countless palaces and towering black stone towers. In the sky above the stone island, dark clouds block out the light, and occasionally, terrifying bolts of lightning peek out from the clouds, instantly illuminating the entire sky!
At the very center of the stone island, a deep purple palace stands, surrounded by what appears to be an ocean of lightning. Amidst the roaring thunder, even space itself seems to distort.
"So this is the real Thunder Palace..." The Supreme Being who had been skeptical couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, his expression soon turned sour.
The lightning above this massive stone island was terrifying; even the occasional flashes of lightning in the sky conveyed an aura of extreme danger to them…
As for the main hall surrounded by the sea of lightning, even a supreme earth expert would probably find it difficult to force his way in.
How can we explore like this?!
Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly as she looked around. After a long while, she finally spoke, "This Lei Mansion is too dangerous. You should search the stone towers on the outer perimeter. As for the main hall, Qinglin and I can handle that..."
These words brought a great sense of relief to the six people, including the Supreme Being of Heaven.
If they were to actually force their way into the main hall, they'd be in real trouble today...
Of course, the reason why Little Fairy Doctor insisted on entering the main hall was not only because of the treasures that might be left behind by the Lord of Lei Mansion, but more importantly, because she wanted to get the Lord of Lei Mansion's token.
The Heavenly Pool Baptism was something that not only the Sleeping Emperor and the Supreme Being of the Sky longed for, but even Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin were very interested in it.
Upon arriving at the vicinity of the massive sea of lightning, even without making contact, the two Fairy Doctors sensed its terrifying power. If they were to physically enter it, even the two of them would be burned to ashes in an instant!
"Sister Xian'er, let me make the first move this time..." Qing Lin looked at Little Fairy Doctor and chuckled.
"Alright." Little Fairy Doctor only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to her suggestion.
Qinglin raised her hand and removed a small, green, snake-like jade hairpin from her hair, then gently tossed it towards the sea of lightning...
The next moment, the small blue snake seemed to come alive, circled around the two of them, and then plunged into the sea of lightning.
Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin felt that they were surrounded by this light. When their vision returned, they had already arrived at the main hall entrance.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this thing to be so useful..." With no outsiders around, Qinglin was clearly much more relaxed. She raised her hand and put away her green snake jade hairpin, grinning at Little Fairy Doctor.
.
"No matter what, it's a divine artifact personally crafted by the young master, and it was refined for three years on the Sun Star of the Myriad Fire Continent. I'm afraid even ordinary sacred objects can't compare to your Green Serpent Jade Hairpin..." Little Fairy Doctor gently patted the girl's forehead and couldn't help but laugh.
As his women, Ye Chen would naturally not hesitate to prepare sufficient protective measures for them.
Even Xinlan, Xinyue, Ye's parents, and others—while we can't say everyone has a sacred artifact, at least everyone has a life-saving artifact…
Moreover, these artifacts are far superior to most other artifacts in terms of both materials and crafting process.
In other words, Ye Chen's own crafting skills were not very good, which resulted in the grade of these artifacts being completely disproportionate to the materials used. Moreover, the functions of these artifacts were often somewhat limited, which made them inferior to other artifacts of the same grade.
Even so, it's enough!
Upon entering the main hall, Little Fairy Doctor discovered that a large portion of the hall had collapsed, especially the ceiling, where a huge hole appeared directly in the center, as if a destructive bolt of lightning had descended from the sky…
Directly below the cave entrance, on a pitch-black thunder throne, sat a skeleton clad in armor. Even after tens of thousands of years, one could still feel the immense aura emanating from the skeleton!
"So this is the Lord of Lei Mansion..." The green-scaled boy shrank slightly and couldn't help but whisper.
Just now, she was about to use the Jade Serpent Three Flower Child technique to scan the throne when she suddenly felt an overwhelming chill coming from above, forcing her to stop what she was doing.
She was certain that if she had persisted in her own way, divine lightning would probably have already struck her head.
"Be careful!" Little Fairy Doctor frowned and warned, then her gaze was drawn to the purple-gold spear in the skeleton's hand.
"That must be the weapon of the Lord of Lei's Palace... It's probably a sacred artifact. Obtaining it should be considered as obtaining the Lord of Lei's Palace's token."
However, obtaining that purple-gold spear is not an easy task.
Qinglin released a snake-like spirit beast puppet under his control from his Eye Child Space. Its strength was roughly equivalent to a third-grade Supreme, and then he ordered it to retrieve the gun.
Without hesitation, the puppet went, and when it got less than ten meters away from the skeleton, it was burned to ashes by the lightning shot from the purple-gold spear.
"As expected, I knew it wouldn't be that simple!" Qinglin's expression also became serious.
Sacred objects possess a spirit; even without human control, they will not allow anyone to approach their master's remains, nor will they easily choose a new master.
"Fortunately, although my Green Snake Ruyi Hairpin has little offensive power, it has many uses..."
As she spoke, Qinglin took off the jade hairpin from her head again, then raised her hand and waved out a green spiritual rope, which directly bound the spear and brought it into her hand.
During this process, the purple-gold spear resisted repeatedly, but it had no effect on the jade hairpin.
After all, no matter how strong this lightning is, can it compare to a sun on the Myriad Fire Continent? So let alone just this little bit of lightning, even if all the lightning power of the entire Thunder Mansion were gathered together, it wouldn't be able to break this Ruyi Hairpin!
After the purple-gold spear was forcibly suppressed by Qinglin, a purple light flashed out from it and then entered Qinglin's hand, finally forming a lightning bolt mark, which was the token of the Thunder Mansion.
Only with this item can one be qualified to enter the Heavenly River for tempering. Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor and the others' next goal is to obtain more of these tokens.
After emerging from the sea of lightning once more, Little Fairy Doctor discovered that Sleeping Emperor and the others had also returned. Judging from the joy on their faces, they had clearly all gained something.
That's fine, at least it wasn't a wasted trip.
In the following days, Little Fairy Doctor and her companions explored many more places, but they still couldn't find the second of the Nine Palaces. In the end, they heard about Dragon Island from some people... As for how they obtained the information, there's no need to explain.
When they arrived at Dragon Island, they found that there were quite a few people there, but they were all blocked.
This time, what blocked everyone's way was not some powerful formation, but a deadly poison, a poison made from dragon's breath, called Dragon Breath Poison!
"It's actually dragon's breath poison... No wonder these people dare not approach." Little Fairy Doctor's eyes brightened slightly as she spoke.
This is an extremely potent and deadly poison. Sometimes, even a lower-level Earthly Sovereign could perish from inhaling too much of it, which shows how terrifying this poison is.
However, encountering Little Fairy Doctor, whose power comes from poison, was truly meeting her nemesis.
She stepped directly into the range of the dragon's breath poison, then casually said to Qinglin and the others, "I can go in on Dragon Island alone. You can wait here for now..."
"Be careful, the news has spread, and there will likely be more and stronger people arriving later. Protect yourself..."
After giving a few instructions, Little Fairy Doctor flew into the island and disappeared amidst the astonished, angry, or jealous gazes of the crowd.
This spurred on those who had arrived earlier, and many began to launch a forceful attack, attempting to break through a path.
However, the consequence of this was that the dragon's breath poison suddenly burst forth with the attack, catching everyone off guard. Dozens of powerful individuals were devoured by the poison and disappeared without a trace.
Several hours later, the previously quiet dragon breath poisonous fog suddenly began to shrink rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared completely, revealing the Dragon Island that it had been protecting.
"What happened?" Qinglin couldn't help but frown, looking towards the depths of Dragon Island.
Of course, others didn't think as much as she did. Seeing the dragon's breath poison, which had been an obstacle, disappear, many people who couldn't hold back rushed directly into the island.
But before these people could even enter the island, they suddenly saw two streaks of light engaged in fierce combat rushing out from the island. Moreover, during their battle, countless terrifying spiritual energies were unleashed. One unlucky soul, after being touched by the spiritual energy of one side, screamed in agony as he was corroded into a skeleton.
"Run! That spiritual energy is highly poisonous!" One of the survivors, who had narrowly escaped death, immediately warned his comrades before turning around and desperately fleeing for his life.
Qinglin's pretty face had turned completely gloomy, because she had seen that one of the two people fighting was none other than Sister Xian'er, who had just entered Dragon Island!
Chapter 593 Western Heaven Battle Hall
The battle in the sky attracted the attention of everyone around Dragon Island, but because of past experiences, no one dared to approach the edge of the battlefield.
There's no way around it; once Little Fairy Doctor's poisonous body is fully unleashed, unless one has special methods or sufficient strength, touching it will result in immediate death.
This scene proves that Little Fairy Doctor has already exerted all her strength, and the one who could force her to this point is obviously an absolute enemy!
"Lady Qing, should we go up and help?" the Sleeping Emperor asked with a solemn expression.
Because he had received many benefits from Ye Chen in the past, the Sleeping Emperor was more concerned about these two palace mistresses.
As for the others, their expressions changed almost imperceptibly after hearing the Sleeping Emperor's words, but none of them dared to refuse.
Qinglin ignored the changes in the expressions of these people, staring intently at the battlefield, and said in a deep voice, "No, now that Sister Xian'er's poison has been fully released, we would only be a hindrance if we went there..."
Moreover, Little Fairy Doctor had not yet used her trump card to save her life, so it was clear that the most dangerous moment had not yet arrived.
In the sky, Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful face was full of seriousness as she looked at the man opposite her, who was dressed in armor with exposed skin covered in scales resembling dragon scales. Her heart was filled with solemnity.
"This person's strength is probably a hundred times greater than that of an ordinary peak ninth-grade supreme being. He must come from a super power in the Great Thousand World!"
Just now, when she was retrieving the dragon pearl left behind by the Dragon Lord on Dragon Island, this guy in front of her tried to snatch it. If it weren't for the defensive treasure given to her by the young master, she might have been taken by him right then and there.
However, in the ensuing battle, the opponent's ferocious fighting spirit, crazy attack methods, and powerful combat strength were something Little Fairy Doctor had never encountered before in all the years she had been in the Great Thousand World.
As Little Fairy Doctor sized up the other party, the man also looked at her with a strange glint in his eyes...
"Tsk tsk, I never expected that I, the Holy Son, would encounter such a powerful woman as you upon my first arrival on the Tianluo Continent. It seems that the War Emperor's order for me to travel the world was indeed the right one!"
"The Holy Son? The War Emperor?"
Little Fairy Doctor made some guesses based on the information revealed by the other party.
In the entire world, the only one who can be called the War Emperor is probably the one from the Western Heaven War Palace.
Those were truly super strong individuals from the Great Thousand World, among the most powerful people in the entire Great Thousand World.
When Ye Chen first arrived in the Great Thousand World, he was in the Lesser Western Heaven Realm of the Western Heaven Continent. The four major divine clans, including the Luo Shen Clan, were all vassal forces under the Western Heaven Battle Hall. From Luo Shen, Ye Chen learned a lot about the Western Heaven Battle Hall.
"How could the Holy Son of the Western Heaven Battle Hall have arrived in Tianluo Continent so quickly?"
Little Fairy Doctor couldn't quite understand why the other party would venture into this ancient heavenly palace alone, but that didn't stop the other party from becoming the strongest enemy she had ever encountered.
However, the Holy Son of the War Hall seemed to have no intention of making a move. Instead, he looked at Little Fairy Doctor's wary expression, grinned, and said, "Don't be nervous. Your poison is still quite potent. And that thing on you that blocked my punch just now is no ordinary weapon. Even if we continued fighting, we wouldn't be able to determine a winner. Now is not the time for a real battle, so we'll meet again!"
After saying that, the man laughed loudly and rushed out of Dragon Island, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After the battle ended, Qinglin and the others quickly came to Little Fairy Doctor's side. The former asked with some concern, "Sister Fairy Doctor, are you alright?"
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head, her expression somewhat solemn.
"It seems that the Ancient Heavenly Palace has indeed attracted a lot of attention this time. I didn't expect even the Holy Son of the Western Heaven Battle Hall to come..."
