Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1456: No Answers

The expected violent explosion did not happen. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign appeared completely fine as he walked straight into the Icy Blood Moon.

Ten seconds later, everything remained calm. The Icy Blood Moon did not show any changes.

The face of the Sun Palace’s Chu Tian immediately sank. He had actually let the Shadowless Saber Sovereign snatch the initiative.

The most important thing was that the restriction was still there, unbroken.

“What’s going on? Could this restriction be fake?”

This doubt occurred to the many Martial Emperors here. They all felt confused as they looked at the light of the Icy Blood Moon.

Finally, one person could no longer stand the suspense; he wanted to see whether the restriction was real or not.

This person’s figure flickered, and he arrived before the doors. As he looked at the light formed by the Icy Blood Moon, he hesitated. Then, he gritted his teeth and finally made his decision, stretching his hand into the light.

“Hu chi!”

In the next second, this person’s arm was frozen numb, turned into ice. The scarlet cold Qi continued to spread, so this person decisively chopped his arm off and quickly retreated, pale with fright.

“The Icy Blood Moon restriction is real!”

Such a scene truly happened before everyone’s eyes, making everyone, who was feeling hopeful, feel stifled.

However, the questions now came. How did the Shadowless Saber Sovereign enter? Why did the restriction not affect him at all?

Of course, it was impossible that Xiao Chen was not attacked. In the icy small world within the light, he merged his Primordial Energy and saber intent.

He formed a vague forcefield in front of him and walked quickly, forcefully breaking through the various restrictions in his way.

At the same time, the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame in his right palm gave off a constant stream of horrifying cold Qi that quickly closed up and mended the broken restrictions. Hence, he was like a fish swimming in water.

He was not attacked at all. Instead, he looked like he was happily swimming in there.

However, in reality, he was triple-tasking. He needed to break the restrictions, circulate the Solar True Flame to protect himself and eliminate the cold Qi, and use the strong ice-attributed energy of the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame continuously to mend the restrictions he broke.

If there was any mistake, the cold Qi would assault him. The Heavenly Snow Divine Flame could rebound and trigger the Icy Blood Moon’s explosion. At that time, even if he did not die, he would be severely injured. He could forget about the Cycle Arts if that happened.

Xiao Chen carefully moved through the Icy Blood Moon. After passing the most dangerous part, he felt air below his feet and landed on the ground.

“Shua! Shua!”

Xiao Chen put away the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame and shook off the frost covering him. Then, he took in his surroundings and deduced that he must have entered the Mirage Immortal Palace already. action

He turned his head back and looked at the intact restriction. Then, he moved forward.

After going through the Icy Blood Moon restriction with much difficulty, Xiao Chen, of course, could not let those people who wished that he would die from the explosion take advantage.

Now, the restriction that Immortal Venerate Ming Yue left behind assisted Xiao Chen. It should be able to hold off the people behind.

Inside the Immortal palace, the first thing that entered Xiao Chen’s eyes was a large hall. There were eighteen massive jade-white pillars on its two sides.

With old age, several cracks had appeared in the massive jade-white pillars. Their color had long since lost their pure whiteness. Copious amounts of dust shrouded them. Only the murals remained, giving off an ancient aura and showing a bustling scene of the previous epoch.

After passing the corridor, there were long steps with many rushed footprints on them.

Xiao Chen lowered his head and looked around for a long time. He discovered that these footprints were left behind by two groups of people. There were clear differences in footprints. Above the steps were more steps.

Having reached this point, Xiao Chen had no idea where the passageways on both sides led to.

He looked to the front and saw a damaged throne at the end of a hall. The precious gems and divine gold that should have decorated the throne had been pried off long ago.

If not for this damaged throne not having any value, someone would have also carted it away.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he leaped into the air and arrived before the throne. Flinging his sleeves out, he blew away the dust on it. After hesitating for a while, he sat on it.

During the Immemorial Era, this should be where the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady sat. As for the Immortal Epoch, Xiao Chen had no clue as to who had sat here.

Regardless of the past, he was the one sitting on it now.

As Xiao Chen looked to the front, he found that the position of the throne was extremely exquisite. By sitting here, he could see every single corner of the entire hall.

“Your Holiness, after following me for such a long time, you can show yourself already, right?” Xiao Chen suddenly said while seated on the throne, addressing the apparently empty hall.

Who was Xiao Chen speaking to? The air or an invisible ghost?

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a white-clad woman appeared in the hall, in front of Xiao Chen, with a sword in hand. This was the white-clad Immortal woman that he saw on the summit before entering the Mirage Immortal Palace.

The white-clad woman’s identity was undoubtedly the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady.

“How did you know that I had been following you?” the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady asked softly. Her voice was very unexpected, exceptionally pleasing to the ears.

It was like a wind chime tinkling in the winds at midnight, crisp, melodious, and quiet, carrying a cold feeling.

While seated on the throne, Xiao Chen replied indifferently, “I didn’t. I only know that you purposely showed yourself to me. Given that, you definitely have something to say to me.”

Before coming here, Mu Yong had said that no matter who it was, no one saw this woman after entering the Ghost Mountains or the Mirage Immortal Palace.

There were even people who were obsessed with this woman’s fairylike appearance and elegance. They had searched most of the Mirage Immortal Palace but did not find a single trace of her.

However, once Xiao Chen arrived on the Ghost Mountain, he actually saw this woman. Jiang Tian, who was with him, did not see her, only him.

At first, this startled Xiao Chen, but he did not dwell on it. However, later, he thought about it some more and found it increasingly strange.

So many people had entered and left in the past ten thousand years, yet no one had met this woman in the Ghost Mountains. Clearly, no one could find her if she did not want to be seen.

On the other hand, if anyone saw her, it would definitely not be a coincidence but something she arranged on purpose.

“You are rather smart. It looks like I did not choose the wrong person. You are strong, smart, and have the boldness to get me to reveal myself,” the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said indifferently as she looked at Xiao Chen.

“Thank you for your praise,” Xiao Chen replied with a calm expression. However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was off.

As he looked at the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady, he was shocked to discover that he needed to tilt his head up to look at her.

It turned out that at some point in time, Xiao Chen had swapped places with the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. However, he was still seated, and the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady was still standing.

One was standing on the throne, and the other was seated on the hall’s floor.

“Sorry. I’m not used to others sitting on my seat while speaking to me.” After that, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady slowly sat down.

“Whoosh!”

The moment the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady sat down, the lanterns in the entire hall lit up. The dilapidated hall suddenly turned bright and magnificent. An indistinct Immortal fog spread over the floor.

The jade pillars along the corridor glowed white, and the murals on them appeared lively, looking beautiful and exquisite.

The throne was also restored. The white-clad woman sat while holding her sword, looking heroic. Her snow-white clothes lent her a pressing air of nobility. Xiao Chen felt somewhat intoxicated while looking at this.

It was hard to imagine that there was such a beautiful woman who could embody a lady’s purity, heroic air, and nobility so perfectly.

Even fairies could not compare.

Xiao Chen knew that this was an illusion. However, compared to the dilapidated hall, this illusion was truly pleasing to the eyes, tempting one to remain. This was especially so for the woman on the throne.

He preferred the other party’s current appearance. In reality, while the other party was also beautiful, she gave off a feeling of sadness. Together with the dilapidated hall, she looked extremely sorrowful.

“May I ask something?” Xiao Chen said, breaking this short silence.

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady nodded and said, “Speak.”

“Are you human or ghost?”

The moment Xiao Chen asked this, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady’s calm expression changed slightly, revealing faint anger on her face.

When Xiao Chen saw this, he quickly apologized, “Sorry, I had been feeling curious for quite a while. That’s why I asked so boldly.”

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady’s anger vanished, and her previous expression returned. She said indifferently, “I expected that you would ask questions. However, I thought that you would ask things like why I appeared before you. I did not anticipate this question.

“I won’t tell you the answer to this question. It’s better that I ask you directly. Someone is targeting my corpse. I would like you to help me. Are you willing?”
