Chapter 575 Extravagance
Before entering the "Dragon Palace," Mengyu planned to recover her Divine Sense in her space first.
Actually, her physical condition was very good, but since she had been keeping up a defensive shield with her spiritual power, it was better to recover first and then go explore in optimal condition.
After restoring herself to the best state, and mentally preparing herself, she swam towards the suspected palace ruins with a determination to forge ahead.
However, Mengyu searched around and extended her Divine Sense to its limits but still found nothing out of the ordinary—there seemed to be only stone steps, columns, and thresholds.
Apart from those, there didn’t seem to be an abandoned palace.
Of course, there were no further encounters with the Monster Fish Spirit or any other spirit monsters, nor any other fish species.
Suddenly, Mengyu felt a trace of Spiritual Energy in the water near the stone steps, columns, and thresholds, which felt very soothing.
Could it be that the Monster Fish guarded this place because it was attracted to the Spiritual Energy here?
Perhaps it was this Spiritual Energy that allowed it to start its Cultivation without a teacher?
Mengyu’s gaze turned to a stone column that had been bitten by the Monster Fish before; now, it had broken into two pieces.
To her surprise, she found that the column, which had a gray-white exterior, revealed a layer of pure white jade, smooth like suet, exuding a faint Spiritual Energy from the broken section.
Her heart leaped with joy: this was clearly Spirit Jade!
Spirit Jade was exactly the talisman stone mentioned in a talisman book; a stone that can be used in talisman making.
Rare Spirit Jade in the Human World - here, it was used for steps, pillars, and thresholds!
What an extravagance!
Without a second thought, Mengyu collected the broken column directly into her space.
She even collected the stone steps and thresholds on the ground.
If someone saw this, they would certainly mock her for collecting even the stones—after all, to most people, they seemed just like plain gray-white rocks.
But as soon as the stone steps, columns, and thresholds were taken by Mengyu, a hole appeared where the steps had been, revealing a downward stone staircase extending from the opening.
So, there really was a palace, but unexpectedly, it was built underneath the lakebed.
Should she go down?
Without a doubt, if she encountered a Monster Fish outside the palace, it’s unreasonable to think there would be no danger inside.
Moreover, considering her inability to enter her space when she was targeted by the Monster Fish earlier, her space wasn’t omnipotent, and if faced with someone or something with a higher cultivation than hers, she wouldn’t even be able to enter it!
Mengyu, who had just advanced to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, felt entering inside would definitely be dangerous.
Should she go in or not?
But on the other hand, every crisis holds opportunity—wealth is sought through peril, and now that she was here, there was no reason to retreat.
Besides, as a Cultivator, one must have the courage to venture forth.
Although it’s true that she couldn’t enter her space if locked by the Divine Sense of a higher-level Cultivator, she could still resort to her space in other times of danger.
Thus, after bringing her condition to an optimal state, wearing her Vestment robe, sustaining her defensive shield, one hand holding a Magic Fan, and the other wielding a low-grade Magical Artifact Longsword, Mengyu stepped down the staircase.
After stepping down the steps, Mengyu noticed a phenomenon: there was no water. This meant that by stepping down, she entered an Array!
Indeed, when she turned around to look back, where was the entrance? She was now in a grand, tall hall.
Mengyu worried, had she been too reckless, charging into someone else’s Array?
