Chapter 826: Heavenly Palace City
The Whale-Riding Immortal sent the four Yin brothers out of the Divine Ruins, then he returned using the Yang Qi Severing Banner. It didn’t take him long.
He turned to Elder Yin, who was waiting at the gate, and asked, “Which way do we go once we pass through this door? Does your collection of maps mention anything?”
Elder Yin replied honestly, “The map left by our ancestor only has the lower half. It records the checkpoints in the latter half of the sword domain and heavenly palace. As for the first half, that would be in the other half of the map, which I do not possess.”
The Whale-Riding Immortal nodded and said, “Then we’ll talk about that later. Stay close.”
With that, he focused his cultivation energy into his one arm and pressed his palm forward, pushing open the great gate of the Heavenly Palace in one motion.
Boom!
A thunderous rumble echoed through the air. Though the gate was as heavy as a mountain, the Whale-Riding Immortal pushed it open with ease, creating a wide gap.
The moment the gap opened, a fierce suction erupted from within. Beyond the gate lay a colossal vortex of spiritual energy, pulling everyone inside!
Whoosh!
After what felt like an endless spinning of the world around them, they descended onto solid ground. Looking up, they saw a dense forest looming ahead, and when they extended their divine sense, the faint silhouette of a distant city emerged.
When they glanced behind them, the way they had entered was gone, erased without a trace. It was clear: the only path left was the one ahead.
