Shi Kongxuan slowed down a bit and said in surprise, "Where does that lead to? Could it be a deadly land?"
"It might be a deadly land. Those who enter can be randomly teleported to some location within the space. You seem quite knowledgeable about arrays to have noticed this so quickly. Not bad."
Shi Yushuo, while advancing, gave Shen Wang a surprised look and said, "Let's go. We must enter first to have a chance to get close to the Holy Hall. Gather quickly after entering."
With that, he followed several Demon Saints and entered first.
The others didn't linger either and rushed into the space rift, disappearing amidst a wave of fluctuations.
In an instant, the hundreds of figures outside vanished mostly.
Shi Kongxuan, seeing Shen Wang moving slowly, urged, "Son-in-law, let's hurry. They're almost all in."
"No rush."
Shen Wang stared at the rift, transmitting his voice, "Maybe I have a way to enter the palace directly."
"Is that possible?"
Shi Kongxuan exclaimed in joy, "You should have said so earlier. They're already in."
"I'm not very sure yet; I need to observe a bit more."
Shen Wang shook his head. He had just arrived and couldn't break many arrays so quickly, especially in the core area where the arrays would require more time.
He approached slowly, not in a hurry at all.
The adventurers rushed in, and the surroundings soon became empty.
Shi Kongxuan, seeing Shen Wang stopped at the space rift, felt a bit anxious, "Can you manage? Going in late might not bring any benefits."
"Even if we go in earlier, those things won't be easy to get."
Shen Wang shook his head. With so many adventurers, how could there not be any battles for the spoils?
Soon, screams emerged from the space rift, and no one seemed to approach the bones directly; it was as if they vanished when, in fact, they were all teleported to other spaces.
These spaces should have treasures, as well as dangers; otherwise, there wouldn't be three screams in such a short time.
Shen Wang continued to observe, watching how the arrays operated after the adventurers entered. After a moment, he had a general understanding.
"We're late!"
"Why haven't these two gone in?"
"Don't see anyone else; are they all in?"
Amidst the sound of something breaking through the air, a team of adventurers shot over, their gaze landing on Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan.
They were from the Rakshasa Race, surrounded by black aura, giving off a chilling vibe.
Shi Kongxuan hurriedly responded politely, "We just arrived too."
"Get lost and don't block the way."
The Rakshasa members said rudely, waving a black aura to push Shi Kongxuan aside.
Shen Wang frowned, stepped back willingly, uninterested in clashing with the Rakshasa.
The numerous Rakshasa quickly entered, and the surroundings quieted down again.
Shi Kongxuan snorted coldly, "With such a vast space, and they think I'm in their way?"
Shen Wang shook his head, "Even if they go in before us, they won't be faster than us. Let's go, father-in-law, we can enter now."
He performed a hand seal, producing a ball of light, which caused the space to twist, and unexpectedly, a vortex quickly formed.
The two plunged in, disappearing in the blink of an eye as the vortex dissipated with a 'poof'.
Rustle, rustle!
The space shifted, and Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan found themselves inside a majestic palace, which was thousands of feet high and several thousand feet wide, large enough to accommodate a mountain.
The entire palace inner walls were inscribed with runes, glowing in five colors, with Flame Power congregating above the palace, transforming into a sea of fire.
The bones seen outside were below a high platform under this sea of fire, clearly larger than before, probably due to changes in light.
Amazing though, a space rift still existed above the bones, with golden-red flames rolling within, more dangerous than those outside, seemingly melting the space within.
Shen Wang's pupils contracted, as he faintly saw a Phoenix Tree in the sea of fire, lush and seemingly taking root in the void, absorbing the Flame Power.
In the vast space near the bones, there were many items: rows of books, elixirs, and physical objects on shelves, and on one side, a purple-red Pill Furnace, and even a special herb garden planting various Spirit Woods and herbs, all currently covered by the glow of arrays.
These items were of high grade, arranged around the remains, obviously for the original owner's convenience.
However, was there no guardian in such a vast place? Or were they all dead?
Shen Wang remained vigilant without showing too much greed. He had reached the core area directly, avoiding other adventurers, but it didn't mean it was safe.
The hall indeed had many bones, likely belonging to those outside, indicating that there were still killing arrays here.
"Son-in-law, we really made it in! There are so many treasures here!"
Shi Kongxuan looked around in shock. Currently, there wasn't anyone else nearby, and the entire palace's treasures seemed theirs for the taking, his breathing quickened for a moment.
Shen Wang cast runes one after another, dense like insects falling to the ground, burrowing into the multi-colored magic patterns.
"How is it, can we move? I see there seems to be elixirs in that Pill Furnace."
Shi Kongxuan's eyes shone as he lingered at the Pill Furnace and the elixir spots, "Perhaps there's a Holy Pill here that can help me break through."
"Father-in-law, don't rush; it's not safe here."
Shen Wang said solemnly, noticing some situations. The palace was not just about arrays.
The entire palace seemed to be a Magical Treasure, potentially designed to trap and kill, with any activation of its power being able to turn them into ashes instantly.
"I understand, this is the core, definitely not simple."
Shi Kongxuan suppressed his impulse, not daring to act recklessly. Their strength was only average here, not to mention compared to the original owner.
But the more Shen Wang deciphered the arrays, the more his head ached. The entire palace had fused with the arrays, and it was unknown how many years of Power of Earth Fire had been absorbed, with a terrifying power not something he could resist.
Fortunately, from his exploration so far, there were no signs of human control, just the arrays operating autonomously.
Whether or not there was anyone controlling, his priority was not treasure hunting but figuring out the arrays. If he could fully control them, wouldn't the treasures be at his disposal?
If it was merely for treasure hunting, with the strength of the arrays here, he and Shi Kongxuan might only get one or two items even if they exhausted themselves.
Suddenly, his invasion of the palace's power was thwarted, nearby colorful mist brightened, and Shen Wang grunted, turning pale.
"What happened?" Shi Kongxuan jumped in surprise.
"My power was stopped by the palace."
Shen Wang said in a deep voice, confirming the palace was indeed a Magical Treasure, an advanced one with spirituality, possessing a consciousness of its own, at least Spirit Treasure Level.
He decided swiftly to abandon controlling the palace and focused on the arrays, stepping towards the shelves filled with volumes.
Shen Wang guessed there's bound to be array-related volumes there, probably including details about the arrays here.
In his unraveling, the killing arrays along the way were not triggered. Arriving close, Shen Wang flicked his finger, the Array Barrier protecting the shelves opened, he entered, scanning quickly with Divine Thought to find the needed volumes.
