Chapter 33 Aspiring to the Jade Palace: The Connection of History

Bring enough food.

Lope broke away from the group and headed towards the ruined city.

The torrential rain made the mountain roads muddy.

This greatly hindered young Lope's progress. What should have been a half-day journey took Lope more than two days to complete!

"Finally, we've arrived."

Looking at the dilapidated and chaotic city before him, Lope was filled with emotion.

Who could have imagined that the ruins before them were once a prosperous and peaceful place just days before? Only because of the arrival of the demon, they have been reduced to this state in just half a day.

demon,

Its impact on the world is simply too great.

Thinking about this...

Lope's determination to seal the demon became even stronger. He was determined to follow the example of his predecessor and use the power of a mortal to completely seal the demon!

but

Before sealing the demon, there is one more thing Lope needs to do first.

That means finding food!

He carried only enough food for three days, and the journey took him more than two days!

This means that,

Lopez only had enough food left for half a day!

half a day

If he doesn't find food to replenish his supplies before the next famine strikes, he might starve to death before he can even seal the demon.

"Hopefully, the demons didn't burn all the food in the city."

Lope prayed silently.

He turned over the rubble and stepped into the city where he used to live.

There was no sign of demons here.

Just as he thought.

The Holy Lord's goal is the center of the Lin Dynasty's rule, and the current city is merely the first step in his submission.

Having submitted, the demon naturally wouldn't linger there.

Following her memory, Lope walked to what used to be the most bustling commercial street.

There are many restaurants and shops here.

Lope went into the nearest shop and began searching for the supplies she needed: food, medical supplies, and other essential daily necessities.

It seems that God is very kind to him.

Although many things in the shop were destroyed, a considerable amount of supplies that Lope needed remained.

food.

Medical care.

Lope found all her basic necessities at this shop.

He filled his bags with these things.

then.

Continue to set foot on new destinations.

City Wall —

If Lope remembers correctly, this is the place where the city's garrison commander used petrification magic to temporarily seal away the Holy Lord!

Standing beneath the towering city walls, Lope discovered that the steps leading to the top of the walls had long been damaged.

resignedly.

He could only climb upwards little by little with the help of the tools around him.

The city walls are towering, and there are many sharp objects below them. A slight misstep could result in a fatal fall!

Lopez was very careful.

He climbed very slowly to ensure his safety.

After a long period of time and physical exertion.

Lope finally reached the city wall.

From here, one can overlook everything in the city, with all things, big and small, in Lope's view.

He had no time to appreciate the broken landscape; Lope turned his gaze back to his feet and began to seriously search for what he wanted.

"Magic, magic, magic!"

After a moment of reflection, Lope finally found what he was looking for next to a small, inconspicuous clump of ashes.

It was a flawless white jade pendant.

It stood out vividly against the ashes of the surrounding flames, making it incredibly vibrant amidst the ruins!

Lopei gently picked up the jade pendant and examined it in her palm. She could clearly see the two characters carved on the jade pendant: "Qionglou" (琼楼).

"A magnificent palace?"

Lope had heard stories about the Jade Palace in some storybooks.

That's where immortals live.

The magnificent palace stands high in the sky, symbolizing the loneliness that comes with being at the top.

It is a place where only immortals can live.

Through this jade pendant, Lope's thoughts were drawn back to before the demons launched their attack on the city.

He thought,

The general guarding the city must have suddenly received enlightenment from the immortal.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After obtaining the jade pendant engraved with the name of the Jade Pavilion, he temporarily mastered the magic that petrified the Holy Lord, buying time for the people in the city to escape!

"If I can find the Jade Palace, I can become an apprentice of an immortal and learn magic!"

Lopez thought to himself!

however,

But a new problem began to trouble Lopez.

Where exactly is the Jade Pavilion?

If he were truly in heaven as described in the storybook, how could he, with his mortal body, possibly reach it?

Can't figure it out.

Lopez felt incredibly disappointed.

Is it

Did he and Qionglou really miss out on each other because of this?

he,

I'm really not happy about it.

However, at that very moment, the jade pendant that Lope was holding tightly in her hand suddenly began to gleam faintly.

"What is this?"

Lope's thoughts were instantly drawn to the light!

As the sun set and night fell, the light dimmed, and the glow emitted by the jade pendant became even clearer!

The light, like a pointing instrument, guided Lope on the path forward!

The west, the far west!

This is in the opposite direction from the center of the Khoja dynasty's rule!

If he goes to the far west, will he be able to find the Jade Palace and learn magic from it?

Lopez was overjoyed.

He carefully put the jade pendant away, then got up and prepared to head to the far west.

"etc!"

It was precisely when we took that first step forward.

Lopez suddenly thought of something.

He turned back and used a small box to collect the few remaining ashes from the burned ground.

These are the last remains of the city's defending general. He died protecting the city's inhabitants, including himself. He shouldn't have been left to rest in the open after his death, and his remains were eventually scattered everywhere by a gust of wind.

He placed the general's final remains into a box, found a good place to bury them, and that was considered...

Let's repay the general for saving our lives.

After making all the preparations, Lopez turned westward and walked forward step by step.

It was at the very moment this young man began his journey.

In the Demon Hell, far away in another dimension, the seven demons who remained there gathered together once again.

"How much time has passed exactly now?"

In hell, time is the most inconspicuous thing; years can slip by unnoticed!

Most of the demons have forgotten how long they've spent in Hell.

Ximu flew to Bogang's shoulder and landed. He counted on his fingers and said, "I've counted from one to ten. I can confirm that we've been in Hell for over ten years!"

"It's more than ten years!"

Zhong Su chimed in, "The Holy Lord shouldn't have made no progress in such a long time. What's going on with him?"

"Given the Holy Lord's abilities, if he were to return to the mortal realm, he would surely find a way to open the gates of hell for us in the shortest possible time. Even if he couldn't find it, he shouldn't have kept completely silent."

Could it be that...?

At that moment, a very ominous thought arose in the minds of the seven demons.
