Chapter 91 Wonders of Dragon Palace
To enter the stone gate, you must first pass through a long and narrow corridor.
After passing through, I suddenly felt enlightened.
Outside the glazed tiles is the azure lake, and the white jade walls are inlaid with countless pearls and shells. The light shines through the lake and reflects brilliant light.
Lu Zhaozhao looked around and confirmed that they should be at the bottom of East Lake at this time. He thought that the corridor they had just walked through was the passage connecting the lake surface and the lake bottom.
Under your feet is a corridor paved with crystals, with rivers of golden liquid flowing on both sides. It is said that this is the spiritual liquid unique to the dragon clan, which can heal all the pain in the world.
At the end of the corridor stood a massive palace, its walls built of coral reefs, a dazzling array of colors. From afar, it looked as if a towering building sat at the center, its roof shimmering with emerald green light, sheltering the entire lakebed.
"I heard that the dragon race's residences all enshrine dragon balls. Placing the dragon balls high up creates a magnetic field that forms a protective circle, guaranteeing the continuation of the dragon race from generation to generation. This faint light high up might be the legendary dragon ball."
Yao Tong whispered, a wary look in his eyes.
Lu Zhaozhao knew why she was so vigilant.
Since the dragon balls are sacred objects that protect the dragon clan, they are bound to be a threat to outsiders like them.
Lu Zhaozhao still remembered that the process of entering the bottom of the lake in the book was not as simple as it is today.
Yun Xian was here today. Relying on his powerful cultivation and using the technique of hexagrams, he forcibly broke open the door of the ruins.
In the original book, Yun Xian arrived late and forced his way into the bottom of the lake when the ruins were about to collapse. Without Yun Xian's powerful ability, the way of entry in the original book was much more tragic.
In the book, everyone initially attempts to dive to the lake's bottom, but thanks to the protection of the Dragon Ball, East Lake harbors a turbulent current beneath its surface. The water is pitch black, making it difficult to discern your direction. Whirlpools swirl in the middle of the lake, drawing people in. Even if one manages to avoid these obstacles and reach the lake's bottom, the Dragon Ball's protective circle makes the ruins completely invisible to the naked eye. And when one attempts to reach shore, they are knocked unconscious by schools of fish, entangled in water plants, and drowned.
Just finding the way to the ruins cost many sects a lot of casualties, so much so that after Yao Tong took out the Tianyin Sect's secret treasure, Pingnan Comb, and forcibly opened a path, there were not many people left who could enter.
The ending of the exploration of the ruins in the book was also because Pingnan Shu forcibly broke the road and damaged the dragon ball, making it difficult for the dragon ball to maintain the stability of the entire dragon track. In addition, the deep water at the bottom of the lake pressed down, and in an instant, most of the entire palace collapsed, and countless people were crushed underneath and never came out again.
Therefore, sometimes even Lu Zhaozhao had to admit that the change in the plot might be a terrible thing for her, but for other innocent people who died in the original book, it was also a new future.
With thoughts swirling in her mind, Lu Zhaozhao followed the crowd to the palace gate. On the plaque were three large characters written with carved dragons and phoenixes.
Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace, also known as Dragon Palace Water Palace. Seeing this plaque, Lu Zhaozhao felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Jiaolong, are its remains also the crystal palace where the dragon clan lived?
The original book vividly describes the love-hate relationship between the heroine, the hero, and her confidante, but it only briefly mentions the ancient ruins, trial opportunities, etc., so that Lu Zhaozhao is not sure whether the current situation is normal or not.
"What are you worried about?"
A man's voice suddenly appeared above her head, which scared Lu Zhaozhao. She immediately looked up, but when she saw Master Bai Yuan's face, she didn't know what to say.
When did this guy come here? Shouldn't he be staying with Wen Yuan's team?
Master Bai Yuan followed her previous gaze, pausing on the plaque for a moment before speaking calmly, "Junior Sister Fusang has also noticed something's wrong, right?"
"Also? Senior brother, what did you discover?" Lu Zhaozhao pretended to be stupid.
Master Bai Yuan stared at her and smiled, which made Lu Zhaozhao feel uneasy.
He suddenly leaned closer and lowered his voice to ask, "Are you really a disciple of the Tianyin Sect? Does the Tianyin Sect not only teach divination techniques but also ancient relics?"
Lu Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat. She had actually forgotten that Tianyin Sect's disciples were required to concentrate on their music training. Miscellaneous studies could easily lead to other thoughts. Therefore, Tianyin Sect had always prohibited its disciples from practicing other unusual skills or studying miscellaneous books.
Although her mistake was exposed, she remained calm and decided to play dumb to the end.
"I am stupid and don't understand what you mean, Senior Brother."
Master Bai Yuan's face was gloomy as he studied her closely. This feeling made Lu Zhaozhao feel uncomfortable, as if she were being interrogated. At the same time, Lu Zhaozhao began to sense a glimpse of the more intimidating dean of Wenyuan Academy, the tip of the iceberg hidden beneath his elegant exterior.
"My magical weapon is the Yun pipe. I wonder what yours is, Junior Sister?"
Master Bai Yuan asked again, but his question was so out of the ordinary that Lu Zhaozhao was unable to react for a moment.
"Ah? Dharma, Dharma instrument. My Dharma instrument is the lyre."
In a moment of desperation, Lu Zhaozhao didn't know what to say. She glanced at Yaotong not far away, and the seven-stringed zither came out of her mouth.
"The same magical weapon as Fairy Yaotong? I heard that Fairy Yaotong is the most talented disciple among the younger generation of Tianyin Sect. I didn't expect that Junior Sister Fusang would not avoid it."
Master Bai Yuan's scrutiny intensified, and Lu Zhaozhao could only grit her teeth and deal with it: "Senior Sister is the sect's role model, so naturally I have to take her as my goal."
"I see. Junior Sister Fuso is extremely talented and will surely achieve her dreams."
Master Bai Yuan immediately took over, but Lu Zhaozhao had a hunch that he didn't believe it, but she didn't want to say anything more, so she simply shut up and stopped talking.
But Master Bai Yuan seemed to be obsessed with her and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter. He never returned to Wen Yuan's team during the rest of the journey, but instead followed Lu Zhaozhao from a distance.
Lu Zhaozhao had just mentioned the seven-stringed zither in a hurry. She didn't know much about it and wanted to ask Yaotong about it later to avoid making any mistakes. However, Master Bai Yuan was beside her and someone was always talking to Yaotong, so Lu Zhaozhao didn't dare to go over and look for him. She could only suppress her uneasiness and deal with the questions that Master Bai Yuan raised from time to time while walking.
Until they reached a cave entrance, everyone stopped and Master Bai Yuan stopped asking questions.
The entrance to the cave in front of him was dark and long, with no end in sight. Its appearance was not on the same level as the magnificent Crystal Palace. Its sudden appearance seemed a bit abrupt, but it looked like the only way to the inside.
There were several small boats floating on the water at the entrance of the cave, which could not accommodate many people. At this time, the powerful Yun Xian was present, and everyone's eyes were on him, waiting for him to speak.
