Jiang Wang changed direction and used Chasing Thoughts again. The direction pointed by the Chasing Thoughts grass was behind him.

This indicated that his sense of direction hadn’t failed.

Jiang Wang half-squatted and pressed a ball of Flame Flower into the ground.

Silently, the violent Flame Flower burned a hole the size of a human head in the ground.

Jiang Wang focused on the location of the hole and began to walk backward.

He confirmed that he was indeed moving, the position of the hole getting further away and smaller in his vision.

Suddenly, he was certain he hadn’t blinked, but the hole disappeared!

Jiang Wang leaped back to the original spot. The riverbank was covered in lush green grass, as if the hole had never existed.

“What exactly is going on? Is this really an illusion? An illusion different from the Illusionary Heavenly Realm, one that allows the physical body to enter? More advanced than the Illusionary Heavenly Realm?”

“No, if the physical body can enter and experience everything, then it’s no longer an illusion, but almost equivalent to creating a world. That possibility is too small.”

“First, confirm that the physical body did indeed enter this place. The strong cultivators waiting outside the Moon Gate for their disciples are proof. The cultivators who failed to exit the Moon Gate over the years are also proof.”

Jiang Wang pondered, while sensing the Moon Key in his palm, trying to enter the Illusionary Heavenly Realm from here.

The sensing was ineffective.

Inside the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, one cannot sense the Illusionary Heavenly Realm.

This place isolates many things, including those rare items and magical instruments, as well as the Lunar Star Power.

Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm is of a higher level than the Illusionary Heavenly Realm.

Jiang Wang turned his head to the side, gazing at the small river.

The small river was clear, and the aquatic plants and swimming fish were very clear in his eyes.

Therefore, most people would place their doubts and vigilance on the dense forest and distant mountains, while subconsciously ignoring the small river itself.

Jiang Wang had first tried to test the small river with a stone block condensed with Dao techniques. The water moved, the fish were startled, and there was nothing unusual.

But now, after repeated consideration, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He manipulated Dao techniques, and two vine snakes darted into the water, trying to catch a swimming fish.

The fish was startled and swam away.

Jiang Wang remotely controlled the vine snakes, pushing their speed to the limit, but the fish swam even faster! It was like a silver ribbon in the water, suddenly moving left and right.

How could an ordinary fish have such a fast speed?

And if it wasn’t an ordinary fish, why was it startled by the stone block before?

Jiang Wang suddenly understood the problem and stepped into the river without hesitation.

Before intersecting with the moon in the sky, the Moon Gate was originally in the Full Moon Pond.

This was the most obvious hint, the gate is in the water!

The same small river, the same riverbank.

Li Longchuan stood on the bank, but didn’t move.

He opened his hands, making a virtual drawing-bow gesture. A feather arrow suddenly shot out, hovering in the air.

Li Longchuan wasn’t impatient. He waited quietly for a while before virtually loosening the string.

The feather arrow shot straight into the river water.

Li Longchuan didn’t look anywhere else, and walked directly into the river.

Xu Xiangqian was the first to encounter this scene.

But he was used to being unrestrained, so his first thought wasn’t how to find opportunities, but…

“First, grill a fish to eat!”

He looked at the swimming fish in the small river, his eyes shining, shaking his head.

“Fish, is what I desire; bear paw, is also what I desire. One cannot have both, the methods are different. Bear paw stewed, fatty fish steamed, cannot be mixed!”

“Come on, folks!”

He stretched out a hand, the gentleman cultivated noble spirit, and a large white gaseous hand reached into the river.

“Steaming, is what I desire. Grilling, is also what I desire. One cannot have both, Confucius said, see what’s convenient!”

Muttering classics randomly, the great hand formed by noble spirit wasn’t disordered at all, groping left and right in the river water.

However, the swimming fish were even more agile, always escaping before being caught.

“Hey, I don’t believe it!”

Xu Xiangqian rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the river with one foot.

The fifty people who entered the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm each showed their skills.

Some walked along the riverbank, never discovering the problem.

Some went to the opposite bank of the river and ran towards the distant mountains.

Some went straight into the dense forest.

None of them returned.

Because only by stepping into the river water was it possible to avoid battle in the initial stage.

The dangers in the distant mountains and dense forests exceeded the ability of these people to resist.

The only exception was Wang Yiwu. When he entered the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, he naturally used military secret techniques to mark Chong Xuan Sheng in advance.

But the direction indicated by the secret technique was in the distant mountains on the riverbank side.

He didn’t hesitate at all, directly crossed the riverbank, and walked towards the distant mountains.

He didn’t think, because there was no need.

Since someone had lived to go out of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, then he would definitely be able to live to go out.

Because in the Heavenly Passage Realm, the Grand Qi’s military god Jiang Mengxiong said that he was the strongest in the world!

He walked into the distant mountains,

And the distant mountains rumbled.

Gao Jing stepped into the river water. The water was clearly water, but when he stepped into the water, he couldn’t feel the water.

He walked into the water, deeper and deeper.

The water submerged him. He could clearly hear the sound of flowing water and feel the water vapor, but the water didn’t touch him.

A staircase appeared under his feet, as if carved from white jade.

The white jade staircase extended downwards, with no end in sight.

Gao Jing calmed his mind and walked forward. Although being separated from his family companions was a bit unexpected, he was, after all, from the Jinghai Gao family, with strength and knowledge, and wouldn’t be at a loss.

At this time, walking forward was walking downwards.

His footsteps on the jade steps were almost silent.

He was fully alert, but his feet didn’t stop.

Time underwater passed very slowly. Because he lost his reference points, he could only silently count his steps.

After walking about nine miles, he took a step, and the jade steps had come to an end.

And in front of him was a long passage.

The passage was inlaid with gold and jade, carved with a long scroll. He couldn’t distinguish the specific story, but he could roughly see that it was a group of ancient nobles feasting.

On both sides of the passage, half-human-high blood corals were lined up along the way.

Each blood coral looked different.

He looked forward, and everything in front of him suddenly opened up!

Behind the tall red jade archway was a palace that couldn’t be described in words.

The Jinghai Gao family was famous for its wealth and splendor. The Gao family’s residences, one more luxurious than the other, were filled with the world’s treasures. Precious objects from various countries were arranged everywhere.

However, Gao Jing felt at this moment that those residences weren’t even as good as thatched huts.

The palace in front of him was even made of crystal bricks and tiles, occasionally decorated with bright pearls.

These weren’t anything to Gao Jing.

However, he recognized that the beams of the palace were made of Cleansing Moon Phoebe.

This wood was snow-white and was an excellent material for refining magical lances. A single lance shaft was already priceless.

This palace actually used this wood as beams.

Looking closely, weren’t those self-luminous objects ordinary pearls? Each one had misty smoke inside, clearly Smoke Luo Pearls. They were also excellent magical instrument materials.

What he recognized alone made him marvel. Not to mention those he didn’t recognize.

This palace was radiant with thousands of lights and auspicious with thousands of spirits, completely unlike the human world.

He used great willpower to restrain his spirit and turned his gaze back to the red jade archway in front of the palace.

He saw the archway inscribed with—

Heavenly Palace Dragon Palace!
