"Buzz!"
The moment Li Xiaotian touched the palace gate, he felt a teleportation force. He didn't resist and entered the palace with the current.
A moment later, Li Xiaotian felt the ground beneath his feet. His gaze swept across, and a hint of peculiarity flashed in his eyes.
The palace contained a world of its own.
He was now standing in a wilderness, but the grass and trees in this wilderness were all withered yellow. The sky was a vast expanse of gray, and he couldn't sense any trace of life from the surrounding flora.
In other words, the wilderness before him was a dead land, devoid of any vitality.
Li Xiaotian looked around. Besides himself, there was no one else. He understood immediately that everyone who entered the palace had been randomly teleported.
He randomly chose a direction and left the place.
After flying over this wilderness, Li Yuntian stopped. In his field of vision, at an infinite distance, stood a colossal mountain piercing the clouds.
That mountain was more massive and majestic than any peak he had ever seen. Even from a great distance, he could feel its immense size and a sense that inspired awe of nature in living beings.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian finally realized that this palace contained a world.
And that colossal mountain was at the center of the world!
This filled him with shock. What terrifying power could contain an entire world within a palace?
This was an undertaking of immense scale.
It seemed the opportunities within the palace were on that colossal mountain. Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and he prepared to fly towards the giant mountain.
But he had only flown for a while before stopping, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Something was wrong!
If all the opportunities in the palace were on that colossal mountain, then the palace's owner would have no reason to contain an entire world within it; they could have just placed a mountain directly.
Therefore, besides the giant mountain, there must be opportunities elsewhere!
A sharp glint flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes. The opportunities on that mountain were undoubtedly the greatest, so all the mid-tier powerhouses entering the palace would head for that colossal mountain.
To seek the trace of high-tier powerhouses' dao power, which was rumored to be there.
However, he wasn't even a mid-tier powerhouse yet, and the dao power of high-tier powerhouses wouldn't be of much use to him.
What was most important to him now was to continue improving his strength and strengthening his physique!
Having figured this out, Li Xiaotian stopped flying towards the giant mountain and instead headed in a random direction.
Anyway, each time the palace opened, it lasted for a year, which was enough time for him to explore the entire world.
As he continued to explore this world, Li Xiaotian discovered something amiss: there were no mountains in this world.
Or rather, all the mountains in this world had been artificially moved to the center of the world and piled up to form a World Mountain.
Thus, as far as the eye could see, there were only plains and wilderness, and lifeless forests.
"Hmm?"
On the third day of entering the palace, Li Xiaotian suddenly felt a wave of combat fluctuation. His eyes flashed, and he flew towards the direction of the fluctuation.
After flying for a short while, he arrived at the source of the battle.
Three terrifying figures were engaged in a frenzied battle. Among the three, a red ball of light was being snatched back and forth.
As soon as one of them gained possession, the other two would simultaneously attack them, forcing them to throw out the ball of light.
Li Xiaotian concealed his aura and landed in the forest below.
The ball of light that the three beings were fighting over was scarlet and emitted a faint bloody scent, which was even slightly sweet.
It was blood!
Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized what it was. It was the blood that was born every time he killed a creature in the Blood Lake.
This was a good thing! His body needed it!
Li Xiaotian thought to himself, feeling a bit hesitant about whether he should make a move to snatch it.
"Swish!"
Just as Li Xiaotian was contemplating whether to act, one of the three combatants in the sky accidentally struck the ball of light, sending it flying.
The three figures were slightly stunned by this and immediately stopped fighting, chasing after the ball of light.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian was also stunned.
Because the direction the ball of light was flying was towards him!
