Chapter 709: Entering a Ancestral Dragon Palace Again!

The grass field was vast and peaceful.

Hao Ren and Su Han were on alert for strange bugs that might crawl up from the ground while they headed straight to the center by trusting their instincts.

The Nine Dragon Palace was as big as a giant city. When they looked around, there were only some wildflowers and grass, no other moving creatures.

If they were trapped in the Nine Dragon Palace, they might not die from hunger, but they would feel an immense sense of loneliness and helplessness.

Legend said that the world started with only one woman and one man.

Hao Ren and Su Han continued walking in this vast grass field for hours.

“We haven’t gotten lost, have we?” Hao Ren asked Su Han.

“No!” Su Han said with confidence.

Every half an hour, they would put up a wide and tall wooden stick as a visible mark to prevent themselves from getting lost and walking back in circles.

When they looked back, they saw the wooden sticks standing there in a row, indicating that they did not go off the path. The Nine Dragon Palace indeed had a huge landmass.

Inside Su Han’s storage ring was food and water that was sufficient for a few days. If she were able to recover her nature essence, she wouldn’t have to eat. However, she only had the strength of an ordinary girl right now.

“We don’t know how far it is. Moving like this isn’t a good method,” Hao Ren said.

If Su Han went on like this, her body might not be able to last, and she would collapse. Qiu Niu was at his low in terms of power, but he was recovering. This was another problem because if he regained his realm, then it would be very difficult for them to leave.

Qiu Niu probably had strong enough spiritual senses to detect the two ‘invaders’. However, he was in the middle of seclusion cultivation, so he didn’t have time to deal with them.

“Then, what’s your suggestion?” Su Han stopped and asked Hao Ren.

Her feet inside the boots were already blistered, but she didn’t complain. From the information that she got on the Nine Dragon Palace, she knew that they would be able to see the Origin Dragon Grand Palace as long as they walked toward the center.

Whoosh!

A black Ancestral Dragon Palace flew past them in the sky.

Hao Ren looked up to see the black Ancestral Dragon Palace flying past them quickly. Then, he looked at Su Han and said, “There’s a large mysterious array formation that’s operating inside this Nine Dragon Palace. The Origin Dragon Grand Palace is the core while the nine Ancestral Dragon Palaces are the side components.”

Su Han frowned and nodded slightly.

“The side components rotate around the core. In half a day, I’ve noticed that these Ancestral Dragon Palaces fly from afar and then fly off to afar. It isn’t completely a circular motion but rather an oval motion.”

“OK. Keep going,” Su Han looked at Hao Ren, sensing that he had got something up his sleeves.

“If it’s an oval, then it means that some parts of their trails are closer to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace. If this is a faraway location, then there must be ones that are closer to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace,” Hao Ren continued to explain.

“You mean…” Su Han lifted her pretty eyelashes and looked at Hao Ren.

“If we can take the risk and jump onto one of the Ancestral Dragon Palaces, it’d be like riding a bus. We might be able to see the entire Nine Dragon Palace and also find a closer route to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace. It’s better than us walking,” Hao Ren laid out his plan.

He could use his hundun sword energies in this Nine Dragon Palace, but the effects wouldn’t last long because the hundun sword energies were made up of five-elemental nature essence. It had quite the power but would take a lot of energy. If Hao Ren were to use it, he would have to rest every once in a while. However, Su Han was not willing to stay in the same place to rest, so the two had to walk a long distance.

“What’s the detailed plan?” Su Han stared at Hao Ren and asked.

She was quite impressed by Hao Ren’s analytical skill since he was able to figure out the rough operation of the array. After all, he was a science guy.

“From what I just saw, that Ancestral Dragon Palace came from that mountain. It’s probably only a few hundred meters higher than that mountain. You know that my realm is low, so I could only store so much nature essence. I won’t be able to use hundun sword energies for a prolonged period. However, we still have hope if I use it all at once,” Hao Ren said.

“I didn’t say that your realm is low,” Su Han tried to explain herself. Then, she looked over at the peak of the mountain where Hao Ren pointed and said, “OK. Let’s try it then. If we continue walking like this, we might not get to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace in another five or six days.”

After getting Su Han’s approval, Hao Ren grabbed Su Han’s hand and headed toward the mountain in the front at a fast speed.

He had just used up his hundun energy. If he could get to the peak of that mountain one moment earlier, he could save up more nature essence and try to succeed in one go.

Su Han was dragged over by him. Even though her feet hurt like hell, she understood that it was an urgent situation, and Hao Ren didn’t really know how to care for girls. That was why she ran with him carefully.

After successfully climbing to the top of the mountain, Hao Ren was still very busy. He used sword energies to cut down a few big trees to form a solid foundation.

Su Han sat on a rock nearby to take a break. She couldn’t help looking and laughing at Hao Ren because he was cutting down trees like a barbarian.

However, if Hao Ren weren’t there, she wouldn’t be able to move in the Nine Dragon Palace.

Hundun sword energies came out from Hao Ren’s palm. He then used his muscular shoulders to carry the hundreds of years old trees over. In two hours, the forest was chopped down to its roots.

Hao Ren’s face was full of dirt, and his shoulder area of his shirt was worn. However, he had successfully built a 200-meter-tall platform!

“Let’s go up!” Hao Ren grabbed Su Han by her hand. Then, he put his other hand on her waist and dashed to the top of the platform.

Su Han slid down from Hao Ren’s hand, and she could feel that his hand was full of calluses.

Then, they could only wait for a black Ancestral Dragon Palace to fly back.

Su Han held Hao Ren’s hand tightly as she was ready to risk everything with Hao Ren.

Whoosh! Just as Hao Ren expected, an Ancestral Dragon Palace had finished one circle and was flying back from afar.

Hao Ren tightly held onto Su Han’s hand. When the Ancestral Dragon Palace came flying over at a rapid speed, Su Han stared at it anxiously.

The Ancestral Dragon Palaces were made of sturdy black stones. With the speed that it was going at, it would be able to smash a level 10 demon beast into bits.

Jumping onto such an Ancestral Dragon Palace was indeed a huge risk.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The black Ancestral Dragon Palace flew over at a fast speed.

In such circumstances, any hesitation would result in them falling from the platform.

However, Su Han wasn’t afraid as she held onto Hao Ren’s hand tightly. Because Hao Ren had been working diligently for the past two hours, his hand was sweaty. However, Su Han felt a sense of security from it.

Boom!

“Hong!”

The Ancestral Dragon Palace which was only as big as a black dot charged over and turned into a giant palace that was more than ten meters tall.

If hit, even a giant mountain would be shattered, let along human bodies!

“Go!” Hao Ren started counting the seconds in his mind while raising the hundun sword energies under his feet.

His hundun sword energies reached full speed in the blink of an eye!

Crack! The platform that Hao Ren made from trees was hit by the Ancestral Dragon Palace, got destroyed, and crumbling down to the valley.

Hao Ren flew up into the sky at this moment!

This Ancestral Dragon Palace was so fast that it was about to pass by them, but Hao Ren’s fast speed could only last for two seconds!

“Go!” In such a short amount of time, Hao Ren threw Su Han to the main entrance of the palace.

Su Han grabbed onto a stone pillar at the entrance and used her other hand to hold onto Hao Ren’s arm.

Almost at the same time, Hao Ren’s hundun sword energies was used up.

A gigantic array formation powered the Ancestral Dragon Palace; it was amazing how it could fly with such speed. Hao Ren was hanging onto the Ancestral Dragon Palace like a person hanging from a highspeed train!

The palace was now dragging Hao Ren. Underneath him was a valley, but there were over 1,000 meters between him and the ground! If he were to fall while flying at such speed, death would be inevitable even though he were at Xun-level!

Su Han clenched her teeth and hugged onto the stone pillar while holding onto Hao Ren.

She was now only an ordinary girl, and Hao Ren was a heavy man. To make things worse, they were flying at an incredibly fast speed!

“Let go!” Hao Ren shouted.

If he fell, he might still be able to survive. However, if Su Han fell with him, she would die for sure!

He regretted following such a treacherous plan now!

Su Han clenched her teeth tighter, and her delicate shoulder was bleeding from grinding with the pillar. However, she would not let go.

Whoosh!

This Ancestral Dragon Palace’s trajectory suddenly changed the angle. As a result, Hao Ren’s entire body was sent flying outwards!

Su Han was almost dragged over by him!

Hao Ren looked back, and the mountain that they stayed on had disappeared. Not only didn’t this show how fast this Ancestral Dragon Palace traveled, but it also showed how vast the Nine Dragon Palace was!

Even with the speed of the Ancestral Dragon Palaces, it would still take hours for it to make one round. If they had used his hundun sword energies combined with walking, it would take them months to reach the Origin Dragon Grand Palace!

Hao Ren looked up at Su Han who was clenching her teeth hard, and he tried desperately to operate the weak nature essence within him, hoping that could boost them a little.

Due to the large arc trajectory that this Ancestral Dragon Palace was traveling at, Su Han felt more pressure on her arm, and a large blood stain appeared on the stone pillar.

Bang! Hao Ren suddenly was able to release two sword energies underneath his feet, offsetting the power of this Ancestral Dragon Palace. He then grabbed onto the stone pillar at the gate and climbed up desperately.

Su Han massaged her arms which had already been dislocated. She leaned against a stone monument in the Ancestral Dragon Palace while she held onto her wrist. Then, she put her arm back in position forcefully as a painful expression appeared on her face.

They had avoided death.

Hao Ren looked up and saw the following words on the main entrance of this palace: Baxia Palace!
