Chapter 578 Entering the Dragon Palace (213)

Li Ming!

The shadow of the famous tree of man!

The meaning behind these two words is of course not shallow. Jiaozhou broke the Yue family's plan on the Blood River Road, and Sanshan City defeated Hong Niangzi and Gu Bahuang in three moves. Needless to say, Hong Niangzi is an old witch with a long history and a bad reputation. Her strength is definitely not low. She is a veteran master.

Gu Bahuang is a swordsman of the Demon Sect. He has killed countless souls with his sword since his debut. He even broke through to the Grandmaster level right under the nose of the Iron-faced Constable Leng Wuqing. Even though he had just broken through, his combat power was definitely not low, but he was unable to withstand Li Ming's three swords.

It was also after this battle that Li Ming's strength was completely recognized, and everyone knew that he was definitely a true grandmaster-level master.

Of course, this was not the end. Although he was defeated by the so-called Tianxin Taoist, Tianxin Taoist's cultivation level in the realm of minor supernatural powers had been confirmed, and Li Ming was actually able to fight against Tianxin Taoist, which shows how amazing Li Ming's strength is.

His name is not well-known, but in just half a month, Li Ming has become famous. Every time he takes action, it shows that the upper limit of his strength is extremely high, far beyond the imagination of others.

Even though he was defeated by Taoist Tianxin, it was only because Taoist Tianxin overpowered him with force, had a high level of cultivation, and used his supernatural powers. However, Li Ming was not seriously injured and was able to compete with Taoist Tianxin on equal terms. The deep meaning behind this really makes people think more.

As the most popular person in recent days, who here doesn’t know him?
Princess Longyue covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Third brother, when did you meet Hero Li? And you hid your identity from him just to tease me?"

Ao Sanmian looked embarrassed and chuckled.

Then he looked at Li Ming and laughed, "Brother Li, you really made it difficult for me to hide this."

Li Ming shrugged noncommittally and said, "I was going to tell you, but you only asked me my last name."

The Gao brothers sighed and said in unison, "Mr. Li is a man of great literary talent and martial arts skills. We two brothers are completely convinced."

After saying that, the two of them bowed to Li Ming together, admitting defeat.

Li Ming could also see at this moment that these two people were indeed gentlemen and were not unreasonable. Perhaps it was true as he said that they had some reason to attend the birthday party, but they had gotten in touch with the second young master and had to be controlled by him.

Seeing this, Li Ming also nodded and returned the greeting, "It's okay, we are just having fun. I was afraid that the sword manual was too simple, so I demonstrated it to you."

After these words were spoken, the Gao brothers and Ao San couldn't help but look at the second young master.

But they all still remember the second young master's previous evaluation.

"Nowadays, anyone can write a book and write a biography, and pass down martial arts into a manual?"

Thinking back on this sentence now, it was a slap in the face. With Li Ming's status and position, let alone the supreme swordsmanship he practiced, even if he dropped his toilet paper on the street, there would be plenty of people grabbing it.

After saying this, the second young master's face darkened, but he also knew that Li Ming could not be punished for the time being.

He could only force a laugh and grit his teeth as he said, "Mr. Li has the bearing of a master and his swordsmanship is superb, but it's just that his treasure is so hidden that some people are inevitably unaware of it. It's only when you show your prowess that the world will know about it."

Grandmasters of this level of cultivation often have lofty ambitions and are interested in finding an extremely powerful magical power to practice. Otherwise, it would be much easier to break through the magical power by simply lowering some standards.

Even though he is the second son of the Dragon King, his cultivation is equivalent to that of a master of the innate martial arts. In addition, he has the blood of the dragon clan, so he is also extremely powerful among the masters. However, the grand master is another level higher than the threshold. Just as Li Ming defeated Hong Niangzi and Gu Bahuang in three moves, if he really wants to deal with the second young master, he can take his life in less than ten moves.

Although the dragon bloodline is good and can prolong their lifespan, it also makes their cultivation slower. It will take at least hundreds of years for him to reach the Grandmaster level.

During this period of time, if Li Ming had not died, it would have been enough for him to break through his magical powers, and then it would have been a completely different world.

Although he is reckless, he also considers people's abilities and looks down on others. It is true that he looks down on others, but if your height is high enough for his eyes to look up at you, he will naturally be more respectful to you.

But this inevitably gives the impression of being rude at first and servile later, which makes people laugh.

Seeing that the Second Young Master had suffered such a loss, Ao San felt a pang in his heart, as comfortable as if he had swallowed several pieces of snow honey in a row during the hottest days of summer, and the corners of his mouth rose.

The Gao brothers, on the other hand, looked somewhat gloomy. Li Ming saw this and asked, "Do you two have any unspeakable secrets?"

Gao Minghui sighed, looked at his brother, and said, "Our younger sister grew up with us since she was young. She was the apple of our parents' eyes. After our mother passed away, she was even more favored. Unexpectedly, she contracted a strange disease not long ago. Although my brother and I consulted many skilled doctors, we were unable to treat her. Only the genius doctor Xiao Wuxie said that if we could obtain a piece of thousand-year-old cold marrow from the Dragon Lord's mansion, there might be a way to cure it. That's why we have been so deliberate and want to go to the Dragon Lord's mansion to celebrate his birthday and ask him to show mercy and give us a piece of cold marrow to heal our younger sister."

Li Ming nodded and said, "It requires a thousand-year cold marrow. Could it be some kind of fever?"

Gao Minghuang said, "My sister has a special physique and the situation is complicated. It's hard to explain at the moment."

After hearing this, Li Ming stopped asking questions and there was silence in the room for a while.

At this moment, a small boat suddenly came beside the flower boat. The boatman was wearing a straw raincoat and stood behind the boat with his head lowered.

But Long Yue and Ao San looked at it and said excitedly, "It's father's boat."

"Lord Dragon's ship?" Li Ming murmured, showing some curiosity.

Then the boatman looked up, revealing a weathered face with a few strands of white hair fluttering beneath his bamboo hat. He said calmly, "Young Master, you just performed a sword dance that the Dragon Lord really enjoyed. I've specially invited you to the palace. Please come in."

Ao San quickly laughed and said, "Brother Li is indeed very respectable. This sword dance actually alarmed Father. It seems that this quota can be saved."

Li Ming's mind turned, and then he smiled at Ao San and said, "In this case, it is natural for the Third Young Master to make the decision."

At this time, the boatman urged again: "Please come on board, sir."

Li Ming bowed to the others, tapped his toes, and landed on the boat lightly on the misty waves. The boatman, expressionless, simply picked up the oar and gently paddled, and the boat immediately took off like an arrow. Less than half a mile away, a thick fog suddenly appeared in front of them. The boatman's movements slowed down considerably. He continued to row, but finally spoke for the first time.

"Is this your first time in Dongping, sir?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "It's my first time here, and I'm lucky enough to be able to go to the Dragon Palace in Dongping Lake. It's really a blessing for me."

The boatman suddenly turned around and looked, his eyes seemed to contain a deep pool, and he was facing Li Ming's bright smiling face and a pair of clear eyes.

Li Ming's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "It's actually a transformed dragon."

The boatman seemed to sense something was wrong, so he stopped talking and continued rowing. After a while, the fog dissipated, revealing a vast expanse of sea and a clear, open scene.

Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the boatman laughed and said, "Sir, be careful, we are almost there!"

After he finished speaking, the boat suddenly shook, and the water on the lake rippled, wrapping the boat from all directions, forming a huge water ball, but it was hollow. I don't know whether it was the skill of the boatman or the extraordinary nature of the boat.

Seeing that Li Ming's expression remained unchanged, the boatman seemed to smile slightly, and then the water ball that the small boat turned into immediately fled underwater, almost turning into a stream of light. No, not turned into, there was indeed a stream of light covering the small boat, and the magnificent underwater scenery of the 800-li Dongping Lake finally unfolded in front of Li Ming.

"Young master, the Dragon Palace is ahead." The boatman pointed ahead. Not far away, there was a huge palace, crystal clear, emitting light, and shrouded in indescribable majesty.

The boatman then took off a jade pendant from his body and said, "This jade is compatible with the Dragon Palace array. Wearing it will allow you to breathe freely underwater. I know you are a master of the innate realm, so holding your breath is not a problem for you. It's just a little inconvenient, so please accept it."

Looking at the jade pendant shining with green light, Li Ming smiled slightly, and understood in his heart that this jade pendant might not only allow people to breathe underwater, but also have some surveillance effect. However, Li Ming felt open-minded and had no objection. He nodded, took the jade pendant and hung it around his waist.

Then he stepped out of the boat. Although he was in the water, he could indeed breathe fresh air. At this moment, Li Ming had time to take a closer look at the underwater dragon palace.

I saw a long stretch of green light, which seemed to be the Dragon Palace magic circle that the boatman had mentioned. It was like being covered by a green sky, just like the real sky, as if it was a sky of its own.

After obtaining the great ability of moving stars and changing constellations from the inheritance of the Three Kings, Li Ming also had some insights into the Way of Void in the main world. He immediately realized that although this place was not a completely secret space, it still contained some of the effects of the Way of Void. Perhaps it was the space folding technology that expanded the scope of this Dragon Palace a lot.

Under the blue sky, there are twelve jade pillars that seem to support the entire world, drawing the light of the stars. There is also a huge sphere that slowly moves among these jade pillars.

The boatman seemed to notice Li Ming's gaze, so he began to explain, "The water in this 800-li Dongping Lake is deep, so the Dragon King set up these twelve Yuanchen golden jade pillars. Together with the Dragon Palace formation, they can draw the power of the stars in the sky, the light of the sun and the moon, and gather them into this sun-moon light ball. It corresponds to the time in the outside world. Now it is midnight outside, and this sun-moon light ball will emit moonlight. When it waits until dawn outside, it will emit sunlight. It is quite magical."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's how it is. The Dragon King is truly powerful."

The boatman laughed and didn't answer. Instead, he pointed ahead and said, "Sir, I can only take you so far. If you go any further, there will be others to take you there."

Then he stopped and Li Ming bowed to him and walked forward alone.

Li Ming slowly approached the majestic palace complex and saw that it was decorated with luxurious ornaments, jade carved railings, and high eaves. It was like Ao San's flower boat was rich and luxurious.

Then this palace is extremely valuable and naturally cannot be compared with others today.

Not long after, they approached the vermilion gate of the palace. In front of the gate were shrimp soldiers and crab generals, which was quite interesting to watch. When those soldiers and generals saw the jade pendant hanging around Li Ming's waist, they knew that he was the guest of the Dragon King, so they naturally did not dare to stop him and sent him into the palace respectfully.

When you step through the gate, you will feel something different. The first thing that hits your nose is a refreshing air. It is not a fragrance, but a fresh air, just like the texture of late autumn in the empty mountains after a rain, which makes people intoxicated.

Less than a hundred steps away, he met a young girl. Her skin was snow-white and she was wearing a white dress. She looked like she was carved out of white jade. Only a little blush on her cheeks made her look more charming. Although she was dressed like an ordinary palace maid, she was also very outstanding, far better than an ordinary girl. The few colorful scales on her forehead revealed her identity. She was obviously a spirit in the water.

"Sir, Bai Phosphorus is here to greet you. Please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming straightened his clothes and said, "Lead the way."

Bai Phosphorus nodded and said, "Sir, but you are dancing with your sword above."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Can you see it from here too?"

Seeing Li Ming's gentle attitude, Bai Lin felt bolder and said with a sweet smile, "Yes, just now a human figure appeared in the blue sky, floating and flying like a rainbow, like a fairy. With a sword dance, it actually caused the formation to resonate. The twelve Yuanchen golden and jade pillars all emitted brilliance, and even the sun and moon light balls shone brilliantly. It attracted all the men and women in our palace to come out to see it. Some even said it was a banished immortal who had descended to the world."

Li Ming chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If I knew that everyone in the Dragon Palace could see it, I wouldn't have dared to make such a fool of myself. Has this ever happened before?"

Bai Lin hesitated for a moment and then said, "I've only seen this happen once, but I've heard that it happened several times. Each time, the Dragon King was delighted, which shows how much he cherishes it. My lord, you happened to be attending the Dragon King's birthday banquet, so it must have benefited you."

Li Ming nodded and said, "I hope so. The Dragon King is a righteous god of virtue and morality. He has been virtuous and upright for many years. I think he will only bless you."

Bai Lin smiled and said, "That's probably the case. The Dragon King rarely gets angry, but..."

She paused before continuing, "But if he gets angry, the atmosphere of this 800-li cave screen will change drastically. However, the Dragon King always takes the people around him in mind and refrains from engaging in violent conflict. I doubt anyone will be so foolish as to anger him at tomorrow's birthday banquet."

"That should be the case." Li Ming nodded, and then asked, "I see that there are many people in the Dragon Palace who can transform into human form like you, but I see you..."

Bai Lin was startled when he heard this, then realized what Li Ming wanted to ask. He pointed to the sky above and said, "This is all the power of the formation. The Dragon King has shown mercy and bestowed grace upon us. We are able to receive this human form because of his grace, and are spared the suffering of life and death in the lake. However, if we leave the formation, we will instantly return to our original form."

"So that's how it is. What about these shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Li Ming asked again.

Bai Lin knew that Li Ming was referring to the soldiers whose transformed forms were incomplete, so he said, "My lord, you don't know that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who guard the Dragon Palace naturally have to practice hard. With the exception of a few, most of them transform on their own, so they are a little incomplete. But you get used to them after seeing them so many times. Don't look at them like this. If they were transformed into their original forms, I could easily eat ten or a hundred of them."
