Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Roads

  "Following Yu Huang's order, guarding here?" Many of the pre-heavenly strong ones couldn't believe it.

  "This old turtle has lived for how many years."

  Human lifespan has a great limit, the innate strong ones have a limit of two hundred years, and the virtual strong ones have a limit of five hundred years! It's the legendary Yu Huang, Qin Ling Tian Di and that level, although the books don't record how long they can live, it's very obvious that none of them are alive today.

  Even the most formidable things have disappeared in the long river of time.

  As the 'Yu Huang' among the four strongest, this dragon turtle is from the same era as Yu Huang. The nine continents have already experienced the era of Yu Huang and the other three strongest, and for nearly two thousand years since then, no strongest has been born.

  But this dragon turtle is still alive!

  At least it lived longer than all four of the strongest combined.

  "In the demon beasts, although there isn't one that can reach Yu Huang's level, however, this lifespan... is something we humans can't compare to." The human strongmen secretly sighed. "This heaven is also fair." Teng Qing Shan silently thought to himself, demon beasts are unable to become the masters of the nine continents like humans.

  But this lifespan is enough to make many humans envious.

  "Everyone, let's think about how to enter the Tianhong Water Palace." The master of Qinghu Island, 'Guyong', said, "This old dragon turtle is blocking the gate of the palace, how can we get in?"

  "There are two paths to enter." The speaker was again 'Beast King' Wu Hou.

  The congenitally strong ones all looked at Wu Hou, and Teng Qing Shan was also surprised. Did this Wu Hou still have a way out?

  "As far as I know," Wu Hou said with a faint smile, "the dragon turtle's weakness is its speed."

  "Wu Hou brother, this is not a tens of feet in size blue dragon turtle, but a golden dragon turtle comparable to the strong ones in the Void Realm. It's much smaller, and its speed has also changed." The 'Wu Ma' from Hong Tian City spoke up.

  Wu Hou smiled confidently and said, "I know its speed is much faster than the Cyan Dragon Turtle! However, the Cyan Dragon Turtle's speed is too slow, even if it increases by a lot, it won't be surprising. Moreover... no matter what kind of demon beast, it's impossible for all of them to be extremely powerful."

  "This golden dragon turtle has infinite strength and is invincible in defense. It's destined that even if its speed is increased, it won't be surprising." Wu Hou appeared very confident.

  Everyone present nodded silently in agreement.

  Indeed, there is no demon beast that excels in all aspects.

  "This is the first path, it's to enter the Tian Hong Water Palace at a speed that surpasses the Golden Dragon Turtle! As long as your speed is faster than its. No matter how powerful it is, it won't be able to catch up to you." Wu Hou said with a smile, "Of course... The Golden Dragon Turtle's speed isn't extremely fast, but it also won't be too slow. I estimate that it should be comparable to an average First Heaven Golden Dan strong practitioner."

  Everyone was shocked.

  The first road, actually relied on speed to rush in.

  "The Tianhong Water Palace has a gate that's at least thirty zhang wide! The dragon turtle is only three zhang long, it's completely possible to enter through the gate. As long as you're fast, you can get in." Wu Hou said with a smile, "However, forcing your way in also comes with danger. No one knows what's inside the Tianhong Water Palace!"

  "What about the second road?"

  Everyone looked at Wu Hou, and among the strong people present, it was estimated that the vast majority could not enter according to the 'first path'.

  "Look at the walls and top of this palace! A palace that's tens of miles in circumference, I don't believe... even the walls and top would be that hard. This second route is to choose a spot on either the wall or the top of the palace, blast out a hole directly, then enter the Tian Hong Shui Palace from the hole!"

  Everyone present frowned one by one.

  Teng Qing Shan was also somewhat hesitant, thinking: "That palace wall, the top part, is probably not easy to penetrate. With so many monsters at the bottom of the lake, and monsters killing each other, it's easy to affect the palace. But on the walls of this Tianhong Water Palace, there isn't a single scratch."

  "Alright, everyone, two paths, choose for yourselves." The 'Beast King' Wu Hou smiled and walked towards the palace gate once again.

  "Woooo!" Wu Hou let out another roar towards the golden dragon turtle.

  The golden dragon turtle stared at Wu Hou.

  Wow!

  Wu Hou suddenly accelerated near the palace gate, and a black light flashed as he rushed into the palace. After entering the Tian Hong Water Palace, his speed increased again!

  "ROAR~~~~" The golden dragon tortoise angrily bellowed and suddenly pounced towards Wu Hou.

  "Haha, in this Hongshui Palace, there isn't even any water!" A loud laughter came from inside the palace, while Wu Hou himself had disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

  "What a speed." Teng Qing Shan sighed, "The first on the Heavenly Board, indeed worthy."

  To be able to sit stably on the first treasure seat of Tianbang for over thirty years, it must have reached the extreme in many aspects such as speed, attack methods, and defense. Teng Qingshan judged with one glance: "This Wu Hou's speed is much faster than mine. That golden dragon turtle is slower than him by a big margin."

  "Wu Hou has made his move!"

  Many people from various sects present began to worry, and suddenly the internal discussions of various sects started, while Chen Qing Shan's attention was focused on Qing Hu Island.

  "Island Master, I'll take care of Qing Hu Island in the Hong Shui Palace today. We can't afford to lose too many men." Zhao Dan Chen said in a low voice, "Island Master, you're still young and have much more potential than me. You wait for news outside."

  "Zhao Shixiong is right." The white-browed Yuwen Liu Feng also spoke up, "Among the eleven of us, five are congenital Golden Elixirs. Entering this Tian Hong Water Palace... it's better to choose those who are older." If Qing Hu Island loses too many people, it will be detrimental to Qing Hu Island in the future.

  "After some thought, he nodded and said: 'Alright!'"

  It was soon decided who would be chosen.

  Among these eleven people, Island Master Gu Yong and his junior sister, two pre-heavenly Golden Dan, plus one pre-heavenly Real Dan and the only pre-heavenly Void Dan, all stayed behind. The others were Zhao Dan Chen, Yu Wen Liu Feng, and Hu Chang Lao, three pre-heavenly Golden Dan, taking four pre-heavenly Real Dan experts to enter the Tian Hong Water Palace.

  After all, among the five congenital golden elixirs, Zhao Dan Chen and Yu Wen Liu Feng are the oldest, while Hu Chang Lao is also over a hundred years old.

  Gu Yongcai was over 50 years old, and his junior fellow apprentice was two years younger than him.

  These two are now congenital Golden Elixir... It can be said that among the many experts on Qinghu Island, they are the most likely to reach the Void Realm.

  "Yuwen Shidi, you lead the others along the second route. I'll go alone, at my own speed, and charge in." Zhao Danfen said.

  ……

  At this moment, many powerful people from various sects present have made their choices. Three powerful individuals directly rushed into the Tianhong Water Palace: Beast King 'Wu Hou', Zhao Dan Chen and the long-browed old monk from the Mani Temple. The others did not choose this path... after all, it's quite difficult to surpass the Golden Dragon Turtle in speed.

  "This golden dragon turtle, can't catch up with Wu Hou and Zhao Dan's three people, actually didn't chase them, still blocking the door?" Teng Qing Shan saw that the golden dragon turtle wasn't in a hurry at all, and couldn't help but guess, "It's very possible that this Tian Hong Water Palace has other dangers besides this golden dragon turtle!"

  At this time——

  A large number of innate experts left the palace gate.

  "The people of Qinghu Island have split up." Teng Qing Shan also discovered that Gu Yong and the other three remained in their original location, while Zhao Dan Chen rushed forward, and Yu Wen Liu Feng and the other six pre-heavenly experts followed the main group of people, heading towards other places in Tian Hong Water Palace.

  "It seems they don't dare to let everyone in either. What a pity... They won't go in, with my current strength, it's hard to kill Gu Yong." Teng Qing Shan didn't hesitate and followed the crowd, "These six people led by Yu Wen Liu Feng are all elites, two of them have congenital golden elixirs, four of them have congenital solid elixirs. If I can make them all die, it would be a blow to Qing Hu Island."

  Apart from Gu Yong and three others, more than fifty people followed the second method.

  After all, everyone has made preparations for coming to Dashan.

  In the dimly lit lake bottom, more than 50 lanterns wandered along, probably advancing to a distance of about two miles from the palace gate.

  "Everyone, this wall should be harder than the top, let's break in."

  Everyone also echoed and came to the boundless top of the Tianhong Water Palace, chose a point, and stopped.

  "Hah!"

  Ying Haojiang waved his hand, and a blast of icy blue primordial true yuan struck the top, blasting away the rotten mud and water grass, revealing the cyan material at the top.

  "The congenital true yuan actually didn't leave behind a single scar."

  More than 50 congenital strongmen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "This green material, I've never seen it before." One by one, they realized that breaking through the top was not easy.

  "I'm coming." A low shout.

  That scale-armored archer, Shen Yan, a lean and refined figure, took down the divine bow from his back, drew it into a full moon shape with force, and with his left hand, a sky-blue primordial true yuan emerged, spreading along the bow body, then condensing towards the center along the bowstring, gathering on the tip of his right index finger to form a sky-blue light sphere.

  "Huh?" Teng Qing Shan was somewhat surprised. This archer, who was said to be a master of the divine mountain, had shot an arrow without using any arrows.

  Let go!

  The spherical halo slanted downwards towards the top of the Tianhong Water Palace.

  "Bang!" The top shook violently, and the people standing on it felt a severe vibration under their feet. Everyone looked carefully and saw that the cyan-green material on the top had a hole the size of a human head, and at the bottom of the hole was a passage.

  "Hmm?" The archer, Shen Shang Zun, furrowed his brow and spoke in a hoarse voice, "The top of the Tian Hong Water Palace is as hard as Xuan Iron, but its thickness is probably only about one foot."

  "Everyone look, that hole is getting smaller."

  Everyone was shocked to find that the hole, which was originally as big as a human head, was constantly shrinking and became only fist-sized in just two sentences.

  "Self-recovery?" Tong Qing Shan finally understood why, for such a long time, there wasn't a single scar on the Tian Hong Palace.

  "According to my previous arrow, in order to blast open a hole that can fit one person, it would require three congenital Golden Elixirs attacking the top simultaneously." The lean man continued, "Of course, if all of our congenital Golden Elixirs attack the top together, we can instantly blast out a hole large enough for four or five people to enter at the same time."

  Everyone just witnessed the hardness of this top too.

  "Alright." Yin Haojiang of the Yin family said coldly, "Taking the pit just now as the center, within a radius of one zhang, later on, all the pre-heaven Golden Dan strongmen will attack that area together!" As he spoke, he raised the black long spear in his hand.

  All of a sudden

  A group of twelve people gathered together, including three monks from the Mani Temple.

  "Attack!" Yu Haojiang gave the order.
