C322 underwater palace
The anticipated darkness did not appear. Instead, a gentle glow appeared in front of them, and the lake water around them had mysteriously disappeared.2
Was this an illusion?
In the beginning, Wu Hao suspected it as well, but after using the soul consciousness to confirm, he realized that what he saw was not an illusion. Instead, he had entered an array and the surrounding water was isolated by the array.
This was an underwater palace, and the space was not that big. It was only a few dozen zhang wide, and the interior was lavishly decorated with resplendent gold and jade.
After a closer look through the soul consciousness, he realized that the luxurious palace was right at the center of the gigantic stone pillar, and the holes on the outside were the entrances to the luxurious palace.
However, not everything could enter through this entrance. On top of it was a seal with a drop of blood essence at the core. Upon closer inspection, it was one of the Eriocheir's blood essences.
In order to enter this luxurious palace, one would have to have the blood of a Divine Beast or a descendant to successfully enter.
Wu Hao immediately understood and reached out his hand to his chest. The Divine Beast Black Tortoise was currently hiding inside his clothes.
He did not possess the bloodline of a Divine Beast. He was only a human, so he was unable to enter this luxurious palace. However, the Divine Beast Black Tortoise was a Divine Beast, yet it could enter.
Wu Hao thought that the reason he had entered this place was most likely because of the divine beast Xuanwu. Perhaps it was because he was the master of the divine beast Xuanwu and there was a strand of the bloodline of a divine beast lurking in his body.
After sizing up the luxurious underwater palace, he discovered that the moonlight stones that radiated a gentle light were embedded into the walls of the luxurious palace. There were at least several hundred of them, directly illuminating an area of several hundred meters wide.
Golden light reflected off of it, and the pearl curtain made of glass was absolutely dazzling!
Inside the luxurious palace, regardless of whether it was the walls or the decorations, all of them were Divine Beasts, Eriocheir s.
Notably, amongst the Eriocheir's statues, murals, and ornaments, only the Black Tortoise Divine Beast was the largest, while the other six Divine Beasts were relatively smaller.
Right in front of the luxurious palace, there were steps leading to a throne that shone with a golden light. Behind it, there was a gigantic black Divine Beast, the Black Tortoise.
At this moment, on top of the golden dragon throne, there was an earthen yellow fist-sized bead that was emitting waves of yellow light. The bead was slowly rotating in the air.
The moment Wu Hao saw the pearl, his entire body shook, and his soul consciousness swept across, inspecting it in detail.
At the same time, the Divine Beast Black Tortoise, which was originally hidden under the clothes on his chest, seemed to have suddenly felt something. It suddenly crawled out from his chest and extended its head to inspect its surroundings.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The surroundings were completely silent, only the sound of Wu Hao's footsteps slowly walking up the stairs could be heard. After careful inspection, he recognized the earthen yellow pearl.
This earthen yellow bead was translucent and contained a mini version of the black Divine Beast, the Black Tortoise.
The illusion was not as simple as just the shadow. It was a divine soul, the soul of the divine beast, the Xuanwu.
The earthen yellow bead was the special inner core of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise, commonly known as a divine pill!
The divine pellet was the essence of a divine beast for the rest of its life. It was similar to the golden pellet of a human, but also similar to the inner pellet of a demonic beast. However, it was both higher than the former.
At that moment, the head of the Divine Beast Black Tortoise stuck out from his chest. Its two small eyes were staring at the Black Tortoise Divine Pill with a hint of vigilance and fear.
