Chapter 5, The Abandoned Palace

"Bone Refining Technique?" Li He frowned, feeling perplexed.

"What a wonderful treasure!" Bai Yulong admired inwardly, casting a glance at Li He that carried a hint of envy. However, there was not the slightest trace of greed.

What is the Xuanjie?

Here is ? '' Li He surveyed his surroundings

With his voice, the runes that were originally drifting in space unexpectedly formed a Tai Chi formation. The yin and yang reversed, slowly opening from the center. Li He barely had time to utter a sound before being drawn into it

"Let us go," said the White Jade Dragon Turtle, as a cloud of black mist appeared, enveloping Li He. When the mist dissipated, Li He found himself in the ancestral home. This ancestral home was located in a relatively remote corner. He remembered that this was the forbidden area of the ancestral home. No one other than the head of the family was allowed to enter here.

The clan competition is a contest among the younger generation of the martial family. This is of utmost importance to the younger generation, as the martial family holds an extreme reverence for martial prowess, reaching a fanatical level. Every year, the losers of the martial family competition face extremely severe punishments. For instance, Li He was even stripped of his surname, Wu.

I am furious, how dare you bully the old turtle!" The white jade dragon turtle cursed loudly. However, there was no hesitation in its actions; its face was serious as if it was about to perform some kind of secret technique, and white flames erupted from its jade body

At the same time, a stunning beam of light shot up into the sky from the outside world. Countless powerful individuals seemed to sense it and gazed in that direction. Due to the great distance, they were unable to determine the exact location and could only roughly speculate that it was in the Beast Mountain Range

"Young man, quickly let it shrink. Draw it into the center of your brow!" The White Jade Dragon Turtle exclaimed, while vigilantly observing the surroundings. This ancient palace had been sealed for a long time, but now, with Li He's blood merging into it, the seal has been broken. Its aura naturally permeates the world, and it is important to note that this ancient palace is extraordinary. Countless people are searching for it! At this moment, its aura is radiating outward, and it will inevitably be sensed by certain individuals.

Ah, ah, yiya! The golden little beast hops and jumps on the ground. It points at Li He, the white jade dragon tortoise, and the azure giant claws in the sky. It cries out in yiya yiya, seemingly very displeased that these few people have disturbed its beautiful dream

What? My ancestral home?! Li He was completely shocked. At this moment, he realized that his family harbored so many secrets.

Several people were instantly petrified, remaining motionless. This little golden beast mumbled and grumbled, clearly very angry. It waved its hand chaotically, and a dazzling array of colorful lights flickered.

In response to Li He's inquiry, the White Jade Dragon Turtle remained silent. Instead, it cautiously observed everything and finally whispered, "Fortunately, I arrived in time; had I been any later, this space would have shattered, and the Abandoned Palace would have been exposed"

A golden light burst forth, falling from between Li He's strands of hair. It transformed into a small beast of golden hue, resembling a hedgehog

Upon hearing the words of the White Jade Dragon Turtle, Li He did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly attempted to communicate with the ancient palace suspended in the sky, and before long, he successfully established a connection. A thought crossed his mind, and just as he was about to follow the instructions of the White Jade Dragon Turtle to shrink the ancient palace into his brow, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He had actually lost contact with the ancient palace, and a terrifying aura began to spread. That aura did not originate from this space-time!

A tender voice floated out gently

Ahead, there is no longer an endless expanse of grassland; a mountain range has emerged. Even from a distance, it seems one can hear the roars of those powerful primal beasts.

"Why is the desolate palace in my ancestral home?" Li He asked cautiously

Your ancestral home

On the vast grassland, a figure raced swiftly; this figure was Li He, who was hurrying to his ancestral home. He was eagerly anticipating the Bone Transformation Technique stored in the desolate hall. If the Bone Transformation Pill allowed him to embark on the path of cultivation, then the Bone Transformation Technique kept in the desolate hall was the foundation of his becoming a powerful being

Li He felt a faint connection with the enormous ancient temple. It seemed as if he could control that temple at will

First-order warrior? Li He pondered for a moment, indeed. Most of the family's strong members should be stationed in Liu City, and the ancestral home is generally seldom visited. Only a few servants are left to guard it, and there is no need for a powerful military force. Just the prestige of the Wu family is enough to deter anyone from causing trouble at the ancestral home.

With the sound of the white jade dragon tortoise, blood beads carrying profound runes soared into the air. As they rushed towards the grand hall, a buzzing vibration emanated from the hall, and a golden light shone forth from within. Upon contact with the blood beads, they were instantly swallowed into the grand hall. The massive ancient hall trembled even more violently, and the surrounding space rippled faintly. A mysterious and vast aura surged forth, and the hall radiated brilliance! It stood there, as if the entire world had sunk because of it.

It stood there, as if the entire world had sunk because of it.

This is? '' A voice filled with confusion sounded, slightly shocked: `` Could it be? ''

Feeling his own speed, he relished this powerful sensation. Since childhood, he has had an immense admiration for the strong; every time he witnessed others displaying their formidable achievements in the training arena, Li He felt an overwhelming excitement in his heart

Li He was dumbfounded, it was truly extraordinary

"Young man, no matter what happens later, you must quickly take away the desolate palace!" Bai Yulonggui said with a serious expression, then chanted a passage in a language that Li He could not understand, "Rise!"

They probably think I am dead. Hmph, it is better that they think I am dead; it allows me to secretly develop my own power in the ancestral home. Let that person pay the price they deserve!" A glimmer of hatred shone in Li He's eyes

Li He stopped in his tracks, as he needed to observe carefully. His ancestral home was located near the Yuan Beast Mountain Range. After a period of exploration, he finally found his ancestral home relying on the memories in his mind

"Young man, let me take a drop of your blood for use." The White Jade Dragon Turtle waved its turtle foot, and a droplet of blood burst forth from Li He's body without leaving any wounds

Looking at the castle before him, Li He felt a surge of excitement in his heart. This is the ancestral home of his family!

"Yiya, Yiya!"

Ah, how delightful!

It, it. The white jade dragon turtle was shocked, "What the..."

This, this. Li He looked at the giant hall soaring into the sky, astonished to the point of being speechless. Faintly, a familiar aura emanated from within. If he were to articulate it, he would be unable to express that feeling. It was simply a sense of considerable familiarity

Go

"Hmph! Little Daol." A cold snort echoed, resonating between heaven and earth, shaking the very soul.

It is a technique capable of enhancing the quality of one's primordial bones! The White Jade Dragon Turtle spoke with such astonishing words that it would not rest until it shocked everyone. Li He was completely stunned; the quality of primordial bones is innate, and he had never heard of any technique that could improve their quality. This is simply an act against the heavens!

I do not know; in any case, it was left to you by your mother. Take your time to cultivate. When you reach the ancestral home, call for me, as I also need to prepare. " After finishing, the white jade dragon turtle transformed into a streak of flowing light and rested atop Li He's head

At last, the White Jade Dragon Turtle pointed with a hand. A beam of light shot out, and it said in a deep voice: "Open!"

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a space. This space was empty, with spatial cracks visible everywhere

The azure giant claw in the sky trembled incessantly, as if in apprehension. In the end, it gradually and gracefully faded into the sky, leaving no trace, as if it had never appeared at all

Li He felt no pain at all, watching the white jade dragon turtle with a curious expression on his face

"Not good!" The White Jade Dragon Turtle shouted, its hands shining with brilliance. A barrier appeared, enveloping Li He and the ancient hall within it. In an instant, Li He felt a connection with the ancient hall once again. Without hesitation, he quickly communicated with the hall, which was slowly shrinking. It was about to surge into his brow, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes

However, Li He was also at a loss.

As Li He was deeply shaken, the voice of the white jade dragon turtle resonated. The space trembled and began to hum. A mansion rose from the depths of the earth, radiating billions of rays of light

"The Xuanjie! The shattered pieces are truly formidable," said the White Jade Dragon Turtle with a frown.

Li He looked at the White Jade Dragon Turtle with some confusion, not understanding why he was brought here. However, the White Jade Dragon Turtle wore a serious expression, inscribing some runes in the space that Li He could not comprehend at all. Those runes seemed to be alive, wandering through the space, and as they moved, the surrounding area rippled, and the vital energy stirred. This strange phenomenon left him immensely shocked.

As the sound descended, a mass of black mist suddenly appeared in the sky above the picture book. Slowly, a giant azure claw emerged from the black mist, overshadowing the sun and exerting immense pressure upon the world. So terrifying was it that the space surrounding the azure claw was filled with dense cracks. With a gentle point, the barrier formed by the white jade dragon turtle shattered instantly, and it spat out a mouthful of blood.

I just don't know, how will they react when they see me a year later at the clan competition? Hehe...

It is indeed strange that there seems to be more to the memories of the desolate palace. Could it be related to the loss of my spirit? The white jade dragon turtle gazed at the sky, a hint of confusion in its eyes

Ah, we are approaching the Beast Mountain Range

"Old Turtle, Old Ghost, I have arrived!" Li He exclaimed excitedly as he took off the white jade dragon turtle from his head.

The Bone Refining Technique! Upon thinking of the Abandoned Palace, Li He felt an intense fervor within. "That Abandoned Palace is in..."

"I swear, you little brat. You won't even let me sleep properly!" The White Jade Dragon Turtle was awakened by Li He and cursed loudly, while simultaneously casting a glance at the old residence. "Oh, the strongest is indeed a first-tier warrior"

Galloping across the grassland, leaving behind a fleeting shadow, Li He felt an unparalleled sense of exhilaration in his heart. For over a decade, he had never felt as liberated and free as he did now. He had always been cautious, constrained in every aspect. Life had been shrouded in darkness, with no glimmer of light in sight. But now, he finally saw the light, and he saw what he loved.

In front of the white jade dragon tortoise, droplets of Li He's blood floated, dancing in the air. One after another, mysterious runes emerged around the blood droplets, radiating a dazzling light that revealed an unimaginable pressure. It was unclear whether that pressure emanated from the runes or from Li He's blood droplets

The white jade dragon turtle stood frozen in place, astonished as it looked at Li He, for the sound had indeed come from him, and the azure giant claws in the sky suddenly dulled.
