Chapter 8: Departure from the Palace

Wu You pulled me and walked to the edge of Zhe Long Pond, saying to me: "Brother, take a look for yourself"

"Is the Wind Demon the ruler of the Underworld?" I asked somewhat jealously

"The Pool of the Dormant Dragon"

"Unless what?" I asked, puzzled

The sound echoed continuously in the empty space, and I immediately realized my indiscretion, quickly glancing at Wu You. He was still asleep, and I breathed a sigh of relief, softly asking, "You You, are you saying that this is your home?"

......

At the front of the grand hall stands a massive relief sculpture depicting a woman soaring through the air with flowing garments, surrounded by roaring dragons. Although the figures are intricately layered, they harmoniously unify, presenting a sense of stillness within movement, with subtle undulations that exude an air of solemnity, as if they are on the verge of breaking through the wall.

A dull, thunderous sound echoed.

"Alright, I don't want to listen. You can take your time to recall!" After saying this, I angrily walked to the side, allowing Youyou to continuously apologize and explain, yet I did not utter another word.

"You gloomy one, what are you doing? Do you not know that such sudden surprises can frighten someone to death!" Before I could finish my words, an extremely strange sensation suddenly rose from my abdomen, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, or even tingling. More than anything, it was a feeling I could not describe, causing me immense pain

The pond is small yet exquisite. Upon closer inspection, one will find that the materials used for this pond are the same as those of the relief. I was suddenly filled with anger; this must have been built by that damned wind spirit to please the melancholic one.

I stopped in my tracks, turned my head to look at her, and asked in confusion, "Wife, is there anything else?"

"Husband!" Youyou suddenly called out to me

It seems that this spring water is indeed a valuable thing. With this thought, I no longer hesitated, cupping my hands to gather a full handful of water, only to discover that within that handful were nine small objects, each of a completely different color. However, these objects were pitifully small, resembling grains of rice, softly shimmering with a peculiar light.

You are being so complicated again, Yuou. Please make it simpler

"This is the palace of departure!" After a while, the voice of Youyou suddenly echoed in my mind, filled with an indescribable affection and a hint of subtle sadness. After saying this, she fell silent for a moment before continuing, "This was my home before!"

After Wu You finished speaking, he did not wait for my response and dashed towards the small door. I hurriedly followed him through the small door, only to find myself frozen in place.

I can't believe how incredibly lucky I am! I thought to myself. But as my mind wandered, a powerful force surged through my heart, and I could no longer withstand the impact of that force. A mouthful of black blood spewed forth, and I collapsed, losing consciousness. My last thought before fainting was: Youyou, I will never be jealous so easily again!

Seeing objects reminds one of people, evoking memories of a former lover, which brings a sense of nostalgia, does it not

"Li was originally the name of the whale that served as my mount in the sea. This Li Palace is also built within its body. When I left back then, the whale obeyed my command and sank into the Earth's core, providing a quiet resting place for the Nine Dragons during their slumber. Strangely enough, Li would not leave the Earth's core without my command, so how could it suddenly appear on the surface of the sea"

How could this be? First of all, my hair was never this long, and it was a very pure black. But now, not only is my hair long enough to reach my waist, but the color has also changed to a rather bizarre hue. My appearance was already somewhat feminized by the influence of melancholy, and now with this strange hair, if one does not look closely, I could easily be mistaken for a flamboyant woman

I repeatedly cursed the despicable, shameless, and lowly nature of the wind demon in my heart, yet the thirst in my mouth compelled me to crouch down, scoop a handful of clear water from the stream, and gently lick a sip from my palm.

This time, Youyou finally sensed the strong jealousy expressed in my words, and immediately became somewhat flustered

"Husband, the nine-colored black dots in the water you just drank are the dormant Nine Dragons!"

I no longer resist, allowing my body to run swiftly under her control

I did not notice his unusual behavior; at this moment, I was completely engulfed in a vague sense of fear

Although Youyou has told me about this place, I still find it hard to believe my own eyes

"Yes, yes, it's that so-called Heavenly Crafting Technique!" I nodded repeatedly.

"Is this me?" I asked in a voice choked with emotion

Striving to rein in my somewhat uncontrolled thoughts, I glanced at Wu You beside me. I noticed that Wu You was not captivated by the treasures scattered around, but was instead looking around restlessly. Finally, his gaze was drawn to a painting on the wall to the right.

I do not know, and I also do not know how this door was opened

The sword named Chiweng is a sharp blade transformed from a fish leaping into a dragon, struck by heavenly thunder. The nine scale beads on the hilt are reverse scales taken from the body of the Nine Dragons, capable of changing according to the elemental attributes of the opponent. This was the personal weapon of Youyou in those years, and indeed, the heavenly thunder during the transformation of the fish into a dragon also originated from Youyou's hand

I do not know how much time has passed, but suddenly my body came to a halt. Before my eyes appeared a magnificent palace

"Wind, this is my world, and it is very safe here. Husband, I want to go home!" Youyou said to me in a tone of urgency that I had never heard before

In an instant, my body was beyond my control, moving down the corridor shimmering with psychedelic colors. I did not resist the melancholic influence over my body; for more than a year, she had never asked for anything, nor had she ever lost control like today. I understood that the feeling of returning home made it somewhat difficult for her to manage her emotions.

"Melancholy..." I gritted my teeth and spoke in a trembling voice. However, before I could finish, a powerful force erupted within my chest and abdomen, and in an instant, it felt as though I had fallen into a furnace, with all the blood in my body seemingly boiling.

This is a side hall, designed similarly to the main hall of the palace, but it is only half the size. The ground is covered with jewels and agates; picking up just one of them would allow me to live a life of great luxury. And these priceless treasures are now quietly scattered across the floor

My gaze ultimately fell upon the two weapons exuding an eerie aura, which were hung on the central wall of the side hall

Husband, no, please listen to me, I just...

"Wife, don't worry, no matter who he is, I will make him reveal his true colors!" I shouted loudly while running, my figure moving swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, I had already dashed out of the Yuxiang Cave.

Husband

I don't care what it's called... Suddenly, I paused and asked in a trembling voice: "You, who are melancholic, what do you call this pool?"

Yōu yōu did not notice the strong acidity in my tone and softly said: "Yes, that was an event from who knows how many years ago. At that time, the Wind Demon ruled the Underworld, the Star Observer controlled the Celestial Realm, and I was a carefree Creator God, transcending both of them. I remember very clearly, that day was truly lively, the gods from both the Underworld and the Celestial Realm came to congratulate me, and the Wind Demon brought this sculpture he carved himself before me, at that time it was really..." I remember very clearly, that day was truly lively, the gods from both the Underworld and the Celestial Realm came to congratulate me, and the Wind Demon brought this sculpture he carved himself before me, at that time it was really...

I stared blankly at Youyou, not uttering a word in response. In fact, the moment we left Chila Jiao, I had already begun to doubt Wu You's identity. Based solely on his robust true energy, according to the criteria Youyou had once provided me, he could rank among the top one hundred in the Four Realms Wind and Cloud Rankings. Although the name of the Demon Wolf is quite renowned, his fame is entirely due to his brutal methods, not because of his skills.

Little Black Brother, where is this place

I gazed at her melancholic yet beautiful face, gently nodding, "I remember you mentioned something about a certain heart method, something related to the heavens, being the strongest martial art in the world."

The sweet spring water reminds me of my mother's milk. As the spring water touches my lips, I feel invigorated

In a state of melancholy, Brother Wolf... I suddenly thought of Wu You. Although my body continued to run forward, my heart was filled with concerns.

Struggling to break free from my embrace, a blush of embarrassment spread across your melancholic face. "Alright, stop fooling around. Your friend has arrived; you should go attend to him first. Once you have calmed down, I will teach you the art of heavenly craftsmanship."

This is the place where the Nine Dragons rest

He did not speak again, but stood dazed in the center of the great hall, silently gazing at the relief sculpture behind me

After a moment of silence, I regained my composure and walked to a pillar in the center of the main hall, seemingly absent-mindedly stroking the surface of the column. In the uneven patterns, I instinctively discovered a small button and pressed it firmly.

I too fell silent. I can understand the feeling of returning home after such a long separation

Not far in front of me, Wu You lay quietly on the ground, motionless, as if he were dead. I stepped forward and reached out to check his breathing. Fortunately, there was still a breath; it seemed he had merely exhausted himself, which was why he was in a state of unconsciousness.

Wu You pondered for a moment, looked around at the scenery, and said softly: "For many years, I have been searching for a paradise devoid of people, conflict, and worries. There are too many troubles in this world; people are constantly fighting, deceiving one another, and scheming against each other. Xiao Hei, look here, it is just the two of us; we do not need to struggle desperately for illusory benefits. Let us live happily in this enchanting world, what do you say?"

In the past, whenever I spoke in the sea of my heart, Youyou would immediately respond. However, this time, she remained completely silent. I felt a bit anxious and hurriedly called out again: "Youyou!"

... ...

Then, how could this happen? Could it be that...

Little Black Brother, you have finally woken up. Where is this place, and how did we end up here? How did you become like this

I stared blankly at the relief and suddenly spoke, "You, Yōu Yōu, is that woman in the relief you?"

Wu You fell silent; he did not speak but quietly stepped aside

Hehe, little brother Xiao Hei, you are quite right. Wu You suddenly laughed and said, "Then let us seek the path back to that real world!"

Husband!" Suddenly, Youyou cried out in despair.

The path to the palace is quite simple, with only one straight corridor. However, this straight corridor seems endless, and coupled with the flickering lights around, I completely lost track of time

Hehe, my husband, to put it simply, any of their magical or spell attacks will be unable to harm you; instead, they will further assist you in absorbing the power of the divine dragon elements

The palace is also constructed from that kind of vividly colored crystal, roughly rectangular in shape, featuring a dome and bracket structure. The roof is of the double-eaved style, supported by sixty large columns made of intricately carved golden nanmu wood, with the four central columns being so large that two people embracing them would still not be sufficient. On the walls, there are engravings of ancient patterns and various designs.

The axe, known as the Eye of Wrath, is a weapon used by the lord of the underworld, the Wind Demon. As for why this weapon has appeared here, I do not know. I will thoroughly question Youyou about this matter later, but at this moment, the power and murderous aura emanating from the Eye of Wrath axe captivate me

The dome is arched and presents a pristine white surface adorned with extraordinary colorful patterns, encompassing a variety of birds, beasts, flowers, insects, and fish. The designs are bold and robust, with gold leaf applied to enhance their exotic charm. From top to bottom, various types of reliefs are intricately distributed, showcasing a style that is both detailed and dazzling, whether carved or engraved, exuding a rustic simplicity infused with vibrant elegance.

I nodded slightly, casting a gentle glance at Youyou, and suddenly smiled, "Wife, rest assured. No matter who it is, it won't be so easy for them to harm me. Hehe, after all, I have a wife who is a creator god"

Hehe, no, you currently possess the power of nine elements, but you are not yet able to control them. However, these nine powers are the foundation of all things in the world. Whether it is humans, spirits, beasts, demons, or even the realms of immortals and the underworld, the powers they wield are not as pure as the power within you. If their elemental powers can be considered as living beings, then the elemental power within you is the ancestor of those beings.

I was momentarily stunned, lowering my head to look into the pool of water. Upon doing so, I was immediately taken aback. The reflection of myself in the water remained unchanged, yet my hair had inexplicably transformed into a shimmering silver, subtly emanating a dark red glow. This silver long hair, combined with my face, created an extraordinarily eerie and captivating beauty. The brilliance that once shone in my eyes had vanished, replaced by a hazy mist covering my pupils; the mist was blue, giving the impression that even my eyes were blue. This silver long hair, combined with my face, created an extraordinarily eerie and captivating beauty.

It is the divine dragon that masters the power of the nine elements between heaven and earth

Melancholy, what place is this

This is a place without end and without retreat. Surrounded by a rare crystal produced from the heart of the sea, although the source of the light is unknown, the crystal shimmers with a hauntingly mesmerizing hue. Echoing in the ears is a soul-stirring sound, rumbling, rumbling, which becomes even more terrifying in the silence

The melancholic voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, "Yes, that was the gift the wind spirit gave me on my fifteenth thousand birthday"

"Little Black, Little Black brother!" Wu You called out to me anxiously in a low voice. When he saw me open my eyes, he smiled, a smile that came from the heart, sincere and genuine. Suddenly, I felt a bit confused; could it be that my feelings with You You were mistaken?

The voice of melancholy trembled incessantly; I could discern the anxiety within her heart, yet I was momentarily at a loss for a response. The Strong Luck Breaking Demonic Heart Sutra attempted to channel this formidable power.

Wu You's voice grew increasingly high-pitched, yet I felt a chill run through me. Upon hearing his words, my first reaction was that he had some ulterior motive regarding the library, but as I listened further, I fell silent. After a while, I spoke softly: "Brother Wolf, as long as there are people in this world, there will be conflict. This is an unavoidable aspect of our existence here, and even you and I must face such troubles."

Is there a way out, brother? Let's hurry!

Your home? I exclaimed in surprise.

The majesty of the divine dragon is beyond the sight of ordinary people. The dragon reveals its head but conceals its tail, hidden within the morning mist. This is its form when casting spells, yet when it lies dormant, it can also conceal itself within a mustard seed; this is the transformation of the dragon. Moreover, dear husband, the Nine Dragons you have consumed are the ancestors of all dragonkind. " Youyou explained with a smile, pausing for a moment before continuing, "As for why they are in this palace, hee hee, dear husband, have you forgotten what I once said? The elemental powers of the nine divine dragons were originally bestowed upon them by me. Furthermore, this place was originally their home.

I remained silent, quietly listening to the melancholic memories. However, as I listened to the end, I increasingly felt a sense of discomfort in my heart, and coldly interjected, "Hmm, that guy really has a heart, huh. I suppose he must be quite handsome!"

What is this? However, this is the palace of the empress, so it must be something highly nourishing. Moreover, I am truly too lazy to repeat the actions from earlier, so I simply brought the cup to my lips and drank it all in one go

Indeed, before the creation, I lived here and grew up here. I was originally conceived in a realm of hazy illusions, and this is the place of my birth. The melancholic voice trembled slightly as she spoke softly

Beware of your friend, he is eccentric

Husband, that pool is called Zhelong Pool

What! I was taken aback

Youyou did not answer me; she merely smiled faintly and shook her head gently, saying, "It's nothing. Husband, do you still remember when I mentioned that the Breaking Demon Heart Sutra is just an ordinary mental technique?"

At the very center of the hall's ceiling, a luminous pearl hangs high. This pearl is unlike any ordinary one; its brilliance is exceptionally bright yet not the slightest bit glaring, exuding a gentle radiance. The light from the pearl refracts and reflects against the crystal, illuminating the surroundings with countless lights, twinkling like stars, amidst a hazy atmosphere filled with swirling mist. The experience is truly beyond words, as if one has suddenly found themselves in a void.

What does that mean? The melancholic fairy power has gradually become unable to control the strength within me, my skin appears to be flushed as if filled with blood, and beads of blood continuously seep out from my pores

Heavenly Craftsmanship!

"Husband, bear with it for a moment; it will pass soon!" Youyou anxiously said, using all her celestial power to soothe the several forces within me.

Youyou smiled as well, nodding her head. With a quick glance, she walked in front of me and whispered a few words in my ear. I nodded, and suddenly stole a kiss from her luscious red lips, then ran out of the cave, laughing and giggling.

After a moment of silence, I felt somewhat thirsty. I looked around and saw a fountain in front of the relief. Since the palace was once the place where Youyou lived, the water in this fountain surely could not be seawater. With this thought in mind, I angrily walked towards the fountain.

Wu You's question brought me back to my senses from my self-pity. According to my previous answer, I shook my head to indicate that I did not know. Wu You frowned, walking slowly in the palace hall, looking around. Suddenly, he asked me: "Xiao Hei, let's not go out!"

Oh, so that's how it is! I clicked on www.hetushu.com, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Then what about this palace..."

The answer that I had originally prepared with confidence was thrown into slight confusion by his final question. I looked at Wu You with a puzzled expression and quietly asked, "Brother Wolf, what do I look like?"

Looking at her melancholic and shy demeanor, I felt a surge of excitement and pulled her into my embrace, grinning mischievously as I said, "It doesn't matter how you teach me, what’s important is that you transform me once again, my dear wife."

I furrowed my brow, revealing a look of sudden realization, and nodded slowly

Although he is smiling, I can clearly see a kind of sorrow in his eyes. Perhaps his words just now came from the depths of his heart, but I believe he understands that it is an unattainable dream. Youyou has told me that everyone has their own paradise, just like my Yuxiang Cave, which is a utopia in my heart. But what about his? ... His utopia may also just be a dream in his heart ... Youyou has told me that everyone has their own paradise, just like my Yuxiang Cave, which is a utopia in my heart. But what about his? ... His utopia may also just be a dream in his heart ...

My friend? I was taken aback for a moment, but then I remembered Wu You. I suppose he has already woken up and made his way into this palace hall. Although somewhat reluctant, I still nodded, gently kissed You You on the cheek, and turned to walk out of the cave.

It is possible that it has sensed your revival, and thus wishes to come out to meet you

A slender, narrow, and elongated sword, and a large axe approximately eighty centimeters in length, hung high on the wall. The sword is shaped like a fish-dragon, measuring about one hundred fifty centimeters in length, with a snow-white blade that is subtly veiled in a layer of blue light. The hilt is adorned with nine-colored scale beads, and despite the considerable distance, one can still sense a chilling and murderous intent. The large axe, on the other hand, is entirely black, devoid of any carvings, with only a faint dark red glow emanating from the blade. The large axe conveys an eerie aura of solemnity and power intertwined.

What is Nine Dragons

Immediately following, a series of eight light tremors occurred in the chest and abdomen, the searing heat vanished, replaced by a force that filled the meridians, creating a sensation as if the entire body were being torn apart

Strolling through the flower-filled valley of Yuxiang Cave, I held Yuyou's hand, allowing my body to shimmer with nine colors of light. A sense of unprecedented tranquility and peace surged within my heart, and I smiled at Yuyou, saying: "Yuyou, if what you say is true, then I must now be in control of the nine elemental powers of heaven and earth"

In the past, I could not impart to you the power of the elements because you did not understand it, and it would have been a waste of effort to teach you. Now that you possess the purest elemental power in the world, you are ready to study this grand art of craftsmanship

Melancholy, then why does the Nine Dragons lie dormant in your secluded palace, and why are they so small? Shouldn't dragons be the kind that can soar through the clouds, appearing without end, stretching for thousands of miles?

When I awoke from my coma, a dazzling array of colorful lights filled my vision. I realized that I was in a place that was completely unfamiliar to me

It is impossible; Li will not act independently unless...

Should we still teach using the method of transformation

"Transform yourself!" The melancholic face instantly flushed like a ripe fruit. She struck my head fiercely and reproached, "Every day you only think about transformation, hm!"

Melancholy, what is going on? I bit my teeth in agony, as if I were howling.

Suddenly, a peculiar small door appeared on the wall beside the main hall. Wu You was taken aback, staring at the door in surprise, and then said to me, "Brother, where is that place?"

This sudden shout startled me, and the water in my mouth slipped down my throat into my stomach in that instant
