Chapter 278 Protagonist's Luck
Inside the stone palace.

Everyone watched the two elders of the Star Palace with cold eyes. Although no one really went to cause trouble for them because of the reputation of the Star Palace, they did not do so.

However, the two Star Palace elders could not help but feel the anger of the crowd and could only retreat to the side and begin to close their eyes to rest.

Even now, they still can't understand why so many people passed the second test, the Ice and Fire Path.

As time passed, the two teleportation arrays in the middle of the stone hall disappeared completely after a burst of bright light.

This also means that cultivators who have not yet emerged from the Path of Ice and Fire will never have another chance to do so!

Those cultivators who had been lucky enough to choose the lava path were still shaken and filled with lingering fear upon witnessing this scene.

If it weren't for the coincidence that the Lava Road underwent an anomaly, they would probably have become one of those who perished in the Ice and Fire Path.

The path to immortality is indeed this cruel.

Sometimes, a single step can mean the difference between life and death!

Just as everyone was marveling at this, the huge, enclosed bluestone gates around them slowly rose up, revealing bluestone passageways.

"These passages correspond to three pavilions. You may randomly choose one to enter. Once inside the pavilion, you can randomly select an item. After selecting an item, you will be automatically teleported to the third level, 'Exquisite Illusion.' If you do not wish to continue, you may stay here. After a while, you will be automatically teleported out. Alright, whether you stay or leave, you can make your own choice!"

One of the white-robed elders from Tianxing Palace explained the situation, and after finishing, he sat on the stone bench, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought, showing no intention of entering.

The cultivators merely glanced at the two of them coldly, and no one paid them any more attention.

The two Star Palace elders, who were able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, naturally possessed extraordinary temperaments, and had already adjusted away from their previous emotional fluctuations.

He didn't seem to care, closing his eyes and smiling calmly, ignoring everyone's attitude.

As for the cultivators, having come this far, naturally no one was willing to give up.

As soon as the two elders of the Star Palace finished speaking, someone strode silently toward one of the bluestone passages.

After a moment, the man disappeared silently in the passage.

With one person taking the lead, the others followed suit.

Lin Mo glanced at it, chose the same path, and strode in, disappearing into the passage in the blink of an eye.

Han Li and Yuan Yao exchanged a glance, then followed without hesitation, as if afraid of encountering danger if they were too slow.

"The incident on Lava Road still makes me a little uneasy. Do you think someone might actually take the Void Heaven Cauldron this time?" When only two white-robed elders remained in the stone hall, the expressionless elder with his eyes closed spoke slowly.

"Take the Void Heaven Cauldron? Apart from those few spirit beasts that should have been extinct in the Chaotic Star Sea long ago, this is simply wishful thinking. Otherwise, the previous Holy Lords would have taken it long ago, why would it be their turn?" another person said disdainfully.

"It's hard to say. Maybe these people really did get their hands on some kind of ancient species. As long as someone is willing to spend a lot of time and effort, there's still a chance. After all, something happened before, where a cultivator almost took out the Void Heaven Cauldron. Although they managed to open the lid a little and take out a Heaven-Mending Pill, they were ambushed and escaped. I think it's not entirely impossible that Wan Tianming has the Golden Silkworm this time."

"In that case, just to be on the safe side, let's secretly follow them. It would be best if they didn't take it out. But if they really did manage to get this treasure out, we certainly can't let the Heaven-Mending Pill fall into someone else's hands."

"That's the only way!"

the other side.

Lin Mo climbed the winding bluestone steps for a full incense stick's time before he saw a glimmer of light appear at the end of the steps.

Lin Mo glanced at Han Li and the others following behind him, then calmly approached the exit. He looked outside with some curiosity. The sky was a dull yellow, the fog was thick, there was no blue sky or red sun; everything was an indistinct, unclear color. Outside lay a void shrouded in mist.

At the exit, there is a long white jade bridge, several tens of feet long, floating in the air. The bridge has a unique design, with various exquisite patterns carved along its edges, and the other end leads to an unknown place.

Turning his head to look at Han Li, who was standing behind him constantly observing the situation outside, Lin Mo pondered for a moment before stepping onto the long white jade bridge ahead.

Walking on the bridge, Lin Mo spread his divine sense outwards, but he could only detect a radius of a dozen meters around him before his divine sense could not advance any further. This powerful restriction made Lin Mo feel a chill in his heart. He gained a deeper understanding of this space created by a powerful being from ancient times.

After walking about two kilometers, a pavilion made entirely of fine jade appeared in Lin Mo's eyes. Looking at the jade pavilion radiating white light in the void, a hint of joy appeared on Lin Mo's face.

Above the entrance to the pavilion hangs a large golden plaque with three sizable ancient characters imprinted on it: “Baoguang Pavilion”.

Not bad luck.

Baoguang Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a place where various ancient treasures are stored.

However, the pavilion is now empty. It seems that the people who walked through this passage earlier either had already chosen the ancient treasures and had them moved out, or they had reached the second floor.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked at these jade platforms and indeed found that some of them did not have the semi-circular light shield, but were empty.

As Lin Mo looked at each item, his brows furrowed.

"Aren't these antiques a bit too inferior?"

After looking at only a few dozen jade platforms, Lin Mo completely lost interest, stood there muttering to himself, a look of doubt on his face.

The items on these jade platforms truly live up to their name as "ancient treasures," each one being an ancient style, such as a long spear or a long halberd.

Although they shimmered with different colored auras, Lin Mo knew that these things in the primitive era were similar to the flying swords and knives used by cultivators today, and generally did not possess any amazing supernatural powers.

Of course, we can't say they're completely useless!

These magical treasures are equally powerful to ordinary Core Formation stage cultivators, but they are not worthy of Lin Mo's attention now.

From the outside, Baoguang Pavilion should appear to have two floors.

Lin Mo scanned the area but did not find any stairs leading to the second floor.

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly noticed that Han Li was squatting in front of a jade platform that looked somewhat unusual.

This jade platform is located behind a pavilion on the first floor, standing alone in a very flat place, with profound and obscure runes carved all around it.

"Did you find anything?"

Hearing the sudden sound behind him, Han Li, who was engrossed in his work, was startled. Upon seeing that it was Lin Mo, he quickly said, "Senior! This jade platform is a teleportation array."

Han Li has now achieved a high level of expertise in array formations. Based on his knowledge of array formations, he deduced that the jade platform was actually a simple teleportation array with a peculiar shape.

"Is there any way to fix it?" Lin Mo asked.

"It should be possible," Han Li nodded and said.

This is the protagonist's luck; it was definitely the right decision to bring Han Li along on this journey.
