Chapter 2696: Lingxu Palace

extort the Gongben family and have them collect the herbs for me."Understood, Master Physician." Gongben Lantai nodded slightly and then said to Gongben Zhen Shu, "Master Physician, thank you for you...Jia Xu and others rushed into the hall, eager to seize the ancient treasure as soon as possible.

What they found after entering was completely different from what they had expected. The entire hall was a hundred meters high and incredibly vast.

The wall was made of an unknown material, appearing ancient and majestic with a faint glow emanating from it. Everything inside was clearly visible.

The problem is, when you look around, it's completely empty. There's nothing there, not even a single stone, let alone the treasures we were hoping for.

Jiao Xu stood there dumbfounded. "What's going on How is it possible that nothing happened"

Zhaozǐyán said, "Didn't we come late Were all the treasures inside already taken"

Huang Shao shook his head: “This is impossible. Huangsha Island is the closest to here, and it was also the first to receive news. By now, not a single person has arrived.”

Zhao Ziheng followed up and said, "That's right, the formation outside hasn't been broken yet. There was a huge creature guarding it before, so it's impossible for others to get there first."

Zhao Ziyan was at a loss: "What's going on Why is the entire hall empty, with nothing inside"

"I understand, this must be a dream. Everything is fake, what we see isn't real."

Huang Shuo seemed to have learned from experience outside. He shouted at Zhao Zi Heng, "Hit me now and see if I'm really..."

"That makes sense, it must be an illusion. I'll try to figure it out."

Zhao Ziheng slapped Huang Shuo hard across the face.

This time, he used all his strength. The blow was loud and heavy, sending him flying dozens of meters away, with shattered teeth scattered on the ground.

Huang Shuo jumped up from the ground suddenly, and angrily exclaimed, "Ah! You really hit me! Why use so much force"

Zhao Ziheng wore an innocent expression: “Didn’t you tell me to do it”

Huang Shuo was about to say something else, but Jiao Xu stopped him.

He took out his compass again and examined it carefully, finally saying with frustration: "This is definitely not an illusion."

Now everyone fell silent. If it wasn't an illusion, then they had come for nothing this time and wouldn't get anything good.

And just then, Ye Bufan and Su Lingfrost also stepped inside.

Jiao Xu glanced at the two people and, knowing he couldn't snatch the first prize, could only call out dejectedly: "Everyone look around. We can't come here for nothing."

"There must be hidden treasures here, we just haven't seen them yet." "That's right, even if we tear this place apart, we have to find the treasure."

Huang Shuo was the first to respond, a sword appearing in his palm. He swung it down hard against the wall of the nearby hall.

He was also a strong fighter in the Dongxu period. This sword carried immense power, and its sharp blade slashed fiercely against the wall. However, as expected, nothing happened.

Everything was silent, save for a faint scratch left behind. Nothing else was affected.

"This…"

Everyone was astonished, none expected the palace walls to be so solid.

"Let's all work together and see if there are any hidden formations or secret rooms."

Jia Xu let out a loud shout, and they all immediately began to attack.

But the result was exactly the same as Huang Shao's just now. Although the offensive was very fierce, it had no effect at all. The hall remained unchanged in any way.

Not even a grain of sand has fallen from the secret room where the treasure is hidden.

Ye Bufan stood there quietly, never making a move or attacking. He just kept looking at the hall intently.

Once he was inside, his spiritual sense could clearly see everything.

It can be confirmed that there are no hidden formations or illusionary arrays, everything is real. That is to say, there truly is nothing within the hall.

Su Ling霜 looked at the empty hall, clutching his arm and asked: "Husband, is there really nothing here"

She doesn't trust Jiao Xu and the others anymore, she only trusts her own man.

Ye Bufan said calmly, "Indeed, at least we can't find anything now."

He still had a bad feeling in his heart, believing that this hall would never be as simple as it seemed on the surface. It was just that some things they couldn't see right now.

Inside the main hall, the two people's voices were soft, but everyone else could hear them clearly.

"Damn it, I wasted a trip for nothing!"

Jiao Xu angrily cursed, waving to the people beside him, "Let's go!"

Su Lingxiang said, "Husband, shall we go back now"

Ye Bufan shook his head. "We can't leave, we're trapped here."

When he finished speaking, everyone else realized that the palace gate had been closed at some point without them noticing, with not even a sliver of space.

"Damn it! Bust the door open for me!"

A flicker of panic flashed across Jiao Xu's face as he ordered his men to frantically attack the two palace doors.

He then rushed forward himself, and more than a dozen people unleashed their full power, wielding their weapons and battering the two doors relentlessly.

But the result was no different from before. The two doors were incredibly solid, not inferior to the walls of the main hall in any way.

"This..."

After a quarter of an hour, everyone was panting from exhaustion, but the two doors remained unresponsive.

Just then, a voice aged like time echoed within the hall.

"Alright, you little ones, stop struggling. None of you are getting out without my permission."

Now everyone was startled, they had just searched every nook and cranny of the place.

Not even a ghost was seen, let alone a person. How could someone suddenly speak

Su Lingfrost suddenly gripped Ye Bufan's arm. Although she was a cultivator, as a woman, she still had an instinctive fear of the unseen.

Ye Bufan, on the other hand, remained very calm. He had long suspected that this grand hall was far from as simple as it appeared.

"Who are you What do you want"

Jiaxu shouted while nervously searching around, but he still saw nothing.

"Aren't you here for the treasure Old man will bestow upon you an opportunity now."

That aged voice said, "I am Ling Xu, an ascended immortal. I ascended to the Immortal Realm three thousand years ago. This is a divine thought I left behind."

Although I have attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality, my only regret is that there are no successors in the Kunlun realm after me. Therefore, I leave behind my legacy.

If any of you meet my requirements, you will become my disciples. Everything here will belong to them, including all kinds of treasures and this Lingxu Palace.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. There were obvious loopholes in what this so-called Ling Xu Shangren said.

If one truly cultivated to the tribulation period and ultimately experienced the heavenly tribulation and ascended to the immortal realm, even a lone cultivator couldn't possibly have no disciples. How could there be absolutely no lineage left behind

It proves that there aren't many people as rational as him.

When Lingxu finished speaking, Jiao Xu and the others immediately became excited. For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They rushed here in a flurry for what For nothing but opportunity! And today, the grand opportunity lies right before us.

Jiao Xu exclaimed excitedly, "Senior, look at me! I'm only forty-five years old this year and I've already reached the middle stage of the Void Realm, and I'm also a fifth-rank formation master. My aptitude is absolutely no problem."

"If you take me as your disciple, I will surely carry on your legacy!" Xiaoqing possesses the strength of a peak Mahayana cultivator, she is ultimately alone. Overall, their side is still at a disadvantage.And the identity of the demonic beast cannot be easily exposed,...
