335 Mysterious Valley

"Uh…"

It was unknown how long had passed before Jiang Yi woke up. After waking up, Jiang Yi felt his head was about to burst apart. It was so painful that he didn't dare to move; he was so weak that his eyes couldn't open. He went into a daze and quickly fell back to sleep.

His subconscious mind was clearly aware that… he was still alive. He was rather suspicious before he fainted—why was he still alive after falling from such a high cliff?

While still in a daze, he woke up again. This time, his head wasn't in pain; and although he was still weak, he did have some energy.

He slowly opened his eyes but was blinded by the white light on the outside. He adapted to it before he looked around the surrounding environment. After taking a glance, he felt as though he was in a dream.

He was actually within a palace. This palace didn't look luxurious, but it was extremely huge and made with white jade. The width and length were at least three kilometers, and the height was several tens of meters. It was empty inside: apart from the luminous pearl on the walls, there was nothing else.

"This isn't right!"

Jiang Yi looked down and noticed several skeletal remains and plenty of weapons and armors. There were numerous holes in the bones, and it was obvious that these individuals died many years ago.

"This…"

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes and saw that this palace was completely sealed, which made him even more bewildered. He fell from a 3000-kilometer-cliff and ended up in a sealed palace? Could there be someone below this cliff that used a powerful ability to teleport him in here?

Since he couldn't understand, then he didn't go think about it anymore.

Jiang Yi was very happy to know that he was still alive. He could find the exit later on, just like when he was sealed in the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch—from where he similarly exited. He still had six Fire Spirit Rocks in the Fire Spirit Pearl, and he didn't believe that he couldn't get out from here.

He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, enduring the pain from his inner organs. He took out a recuperation elixir and sat in a meditation pose to begin his recuperation.

"Eh? The heaven and earth energy are very dense in here. It is comparable to the Emperor Palace at Fairy Peak!"

After casually circulating the Nameless Divine Art, Jiang Yi noticed another unusual trait about this palace. Since he already experienced the much more-concentrated heaven and earth energy in the Divine Vein, he didn't bother and just focused on his recuperation.

Four hours later, he stopped his recuperation and opened his eyes. He stood up to move and stretch his muscles and nerves. He noticed that he had recovered back to 70% or 80% of his original condition. He didn't have the mood to continue recuperating anymore and started to explore the place.

Bang!

He casually slammed on the wall with his palm while the wall reacted with an immediate radiance of white light, bouncing his hand off. As he had expected, this palace's walls had a powerful restriction. Otherwise, these people wouldn't be trapped to death.

When he recalled about the dead people, Jiang Yi quickly headed towards them and picked up a battle saber by one of the skeletons. He scanned it and nodded. "Heaven artifact. Not bad!"

He gathered all the weapons of the deceased and was surprised to find there were over ten heaven artifacts, twenty spirit artifacts, and two ancient divine essence rings. He didn't have the time to refine them and just threw them into the Fire Spirit Pearl.

"Try the Fire Dragon Sword!"

Jiang Yi explored the entire place and made sure there wasn't any mechanism. He then prepared to break the walls and exit. He took out the Fire Dragon Sword, poured in his essence force, and cleaved at the wall in front of him vigorously.

Buzz!

Boom!

The wall instantly lit up with extremely bright rays of radiance—it was so bright that Jiang Yi couldn't open his eyes. When the two fire dragons crashed onto the walls, the entire palace shook a little. A majestic aura presence came from within the walls of the palace and sent Jiang Yi back by a few tens of meters. His recently recovered injuries on his body got aggravated again.

"As expected, it is not working!"

Jiang Yi forced down the fresh blood in his throat and sat cross-legged to recuperate again. This time, he cultivated for four hours before he had some rations and clean water. He then cultivated for another one hour before he stood up and came to one of the walls. He yelled out, "Soul-Devouring Shifting Art!"

Buzz!

His body vanished without a trace; in the next second, he appeared above the wall in front. The wall lit up with white light again, repelling Jiang Yi's body with a rebound.

"Instant shift doesn't work?"

Jiang Yi sighed helplessly and walked over to the side of the wall and used his last resort… Fire Spirit Rock!

Tsk-Tsk!

Just as Jiang Yi expected, the Fire Spirit Rock—which was able to burn through the restriction set by the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons—quickly burned through the palace walls. The Fire Spirit Rock was fuming with green flames as it quickly scorched through the restriction on the wall. It took the time for a few breaths to burn a three-meter deep hole that was the size of a head!

"It is through!"

Seeing the white light on the outside and breathing in the fresh air, Jiang Yi's eyes lit up with a pleasant surprise. As long as he could get out, he would be able to find a way out. He peered through this small hole and could see that it was a valley on the outside, and he could even see a reservoir.

"Continue!"

This hole was too small, and Jiang Yi couldn't get out through it. There were only five more Fire Spirit Rock left, but he had no choice but to use another one to continue burning the palace wall.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Alright!"

Soon enough, Jiang Yi expanded the hole big enough for him to barely make his way out. He hated to waste any more Fire Spirit Rocks, and so he just squeezed his way out.

"Hu-Hu!"

The moment Jiang Yi squeezed his way out of the palace, he sat on the ground and panted in large breaths in an ugly manner. Although he had experienced that great escape from the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch—this time, he still felt that he had survived a calamity.

After resting for a moment, he scanned the surrounding scenery. This place was really a valley, but it was a valley without any exits. It was surrounded with straight cliffs, and the white fog above was so thick that he couldn't see the sky!

The valley had trees, flowers, and vegetation. There was even a reservoir, and the only building in the valley was that palace that Jiang Yi managed to get out. This palace was actually five-stories tall and went right through the clouds. Jiang Yi was actually on the first level earlier.

"Where is Yun Lu?"

Jiang Yi was suspicious. Yun Lu fell before him, and if he didn't die, then Yun Lu should be alive as well. Why wasn't he within that palace earlier? He wasn't in this valley, too?

The valley wasn't huge. Jiang Yi explored the place and quickly went through it, without noticing any exits. He tried to cleave at the cliff wall but realized there was an indestructible restriction, and there was no way to climb it either.

"Big Huang!"

He summoned his Zouwu Beast, only to realize that there were also restrictions in the ground after the Zouwu Beast dug for several meters. This place was like a prison, an inescapable prison.

"The palace!"

Jiang Yi looked over at that magnificent, five-story-tall palace, which was in the center of the valley. If he wanted to leave this forbidden ground, he had to find a way to enter the top floor of the palace.

The problem was this palace was made with white jade, and each floor was several hundred meters tall. The surface of the walls was smooth like a mirror, and there was no way to borrow strength. How was he going to climb up to the top floor which was a few hundred meters tall?

"Sigh. Let me try searching for a mechanism in the valley first. If there was a mechanism that led to the exit, it would be the best."

Jiang Yi wandered around the valley again, but this time, he searched with detail and didn't miss other any corner. He even tried to pull some smaller trees.

Bang!

Jiang Yi searched for more than half a day and suddenly heard this slight noise from within the palace. He was like an alerted lion, where all his hair stood on its end. The Fire Dragon Sword immediately appeared in his hands while his killing aura poured out as he rushed towards the palace.

"There is indeed someone!"

Jiang Yi saw a figure from outside the hole. His killing aura instantly surged from the hole into the palace as he prepared to suppress everyone before entering to kill them.

"Young Master Yi, don't do it. I am Zhan Clan's elder, He Tieshu!"

A pleasantly surprising voice echoed from within the palace. Jiang Yi immediately withdrew his killing aura. He knew this person, and he was really Zhan Clan's elder. He called out with surprise, "He Lao, come out quickly. Let's think of a method to get out of this damnable place!"
