Chapter 299 Star Flow Sea Clone Trapped!
"boom!!"
Each strike of the Rock Tiger Demon God on Lotus Ancient City produced a tremendous roar.
The Lotus Flower Ancient City is, after all, just the most ordinary palace-type supreme treasure. In other words, it should be a true god-level palace-type supreme treasure, which is naturally inferior to other better palace-type supreme treasures.
Being able to venture into the core of the three most dangerous places in the cosmic sea is already quite an achievement.
Gu Ce gritted his teeth and accelerated the flight of the Lotus Flower Ancient City, quickly surpassing the speed of light by a hundred times. However, the Rock Tiger Demon God behind him was still relentlessly pursuing him.
Swish!
The ancient city of Lotus Flower transformed into a stream of light, leaving the Blood Melting Spring and rushing into the Dark Domain.
The Rock Tiger Demon God behind him also accelerated, but he did not burn his divine power. With the burst of Gu Ce Xing's Flowing Sea clone, the Rock Tiger Demon God was soon left behind.
However, just as Gu Ce's face lit up with joy, something unexpected happened ahead!
A jade wall, stretching for hundreds of light-years, blocked the way to the ancient city of Lianhua!
"Jade Palace." Gu Ce's expression changed.
The Jade Palace is a supreme treasure of the palace type, which appears randomly in the Dark Domain of Flowing Heavy Mountain. Many of the strongest beings in the universe, such as the Seventh True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan, have explored this place!
The Jade Palace is likely an unclaimed, supreme treasure, drifting in the Dark Domain, yet its interior holds countless dangers.
Just like the Star Tower and Lotus City in the primordial universe, countless powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea coveted the Jade Palace, this supreme treasure, yet none of them were able to take it away.
Is it because it hasn't gained its approval?
Or is there another reason?
In short, judging from its appearance and the power it exudes, Gu Ce could tell that the Jade Palace was at least a level higher than the Lotus Flower Ancient City, and might even be a treasure at the level of a Void True God.
Such a treasure would be an invaluable treasure even if it were thrown into the core of Liuchong Mountain!
Gu Ce, however, had no interest in the suddenly appearing Jade Palace at this moment.
The Rock Tiger Demon God behind them, blocked by the Jade Palace, has gotten close again!
Even though the Rock Tiger Demon God couldn't inflict any damage on Gu Ce under the protection of the Lotus Flower Ancient City, having a powerful enemy constantly following behind him in a dangerous place like Liuchong Mountain was obviously not a good thing. It might trigger some dangerous situations and trap Gu Ce as well.
If he is trapped and unable to leave, Gu Ce will have no choice but to abandon his Starflow Sea clone. The cost of the rescue is too high. He can return to retrieve the treasure when he has the opportunity in the future.
"Phew~"
Strong gusts of air emanated from the Jade Palace, causing the Lotus Flower Ancient City to sway violently in the wind. The Rock Tiger Demon God behind it was even blown away by this powerful gust of wind, flying a great distance away.
"No..." Gu Ce's eyes widened. What did this Jade Palace mean?
A powerful suction force suddenly came!
No matter how much divine power Gu Ce burned to activate the Lotus Flower Ancient City, he couldn't resist this suction force.
The gates of the Jade Palace opened, clearly intending to swallow Gu Ce whole!
Damn!
……
In the virtual universe, Gu Ce appeared directly and found the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City who were listening to Luo Feng's sermon.
Seeing Gu Ce's anxious expression, the two nodded immediately, and the three of them disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving behind a group of universe lords looking at each other in bewilderment, including Luo Feng.
Upon seeing this, Luo Feng frowned.
Has something happened to Gu Ce?
Am I able to help?
Luo Feng had no interest in preaching at this moment; his mind was entirely focused on Gu Ce.
Finally, it was the original ancestor who stepped in and maintained order, allowing everyone to calm down, and Luo Feng continued speaking.
……
In another space of the virtual universe.
"Gu Ce, what happened?" The Chaos City Lord immediately frowned and asked. "Is something wrong with your main body? No, that shouldn't be the case, your main body is still in that inheritance land... Is it your Star Stream Sea clone?"
"That's right." Gu Ce said solemnly as he recounted what he had encountered in Liuchong Mountain.
"...My Starflow Sea clone is trapped inside that Jade Palace and cannot escape!"
The Lord of Chaos City and the founder of the Giant Axe both fell silent upon hearing this.
Jade Palace!
While it might not be the most dangerous place in Liuchong Mountain, as it won't kill you immediately, it is definitely the most disgusting, because once you are trapped inside, you don't know when you will be able to leave again!
The Jade Palace has a main gate and a side gate.
It can be further divided into an active period and a dormant period.
During its active period, the Jade Palace, just like it is now, will actively search for 'prey' within the Flowing Mountains, open the main gate, and swallow the 'prey' into the main hall of the Jade Palace. Once trapped, it may last for one or two eras, or even one or two cycles of reincarnation!
One must wait until the next active period before it is "possible" to leave the Jade Palace. Generally speaking, very few people can survive the interval between two active periods.
In the past, the powerful figures of the Cosmic Sea explored the Jade Palace during periods of dormancy, entering through a side gate in hopes of finding a way to claim ownership of the Jade Palace, but none of them succeeded.
Entering through a side gate of the Jade Palace leads to a side hall, where many treasures can be found. Therefore, exploring the Jade Palace is not a bad deal. Some cosmic lords also like to explore the Jade Palace during their periods of dormancy.
The periods of activity and inactivity of the Jade Palace are quite random.
Generally speaking, the period of dormancy will last for at least one cycle of reincarnation!
Gu Ce is really unlucky.
"It's alright. You have inherited the legacy of an ancient civilization... Even if you give up those treasures, as long as you can keep your life, you will still be able to obtain the most powerful treasures again in the future," the founder of the giant axe reassured him.
Fortunately, being trapped in a place like the Jade Palace wouldn't have any effect on the soul.
As long as there are clones, they can escape by simply self-destructing.
"Giant Axe is right. It's just a supreme treasure. It's nothing to the human race that has now obtained two great inheritances. Besides, don't you have that plan to dominate the primordial universe? At worst, we'll help you steal the Zerg Queen's supreme treasure palace, the Queen's Nest, and give it to you."
The human race has obtained two inheritances in succession, and he still has the hope of breaking through to become the strongest in the universe. The Lord of Chaos City is in a good mood and is joking around while comforting Gu Ce.
"Hmm... I'll take another look. There's no rush to self-destruct." Gu Ce felt a little better.
Anyone would be in a bad mood in this situation.
"Very well, perhaps you can find a way to claim the Jade Palace as your master?" the Chaos City Lord laughed.
Now, he trusts Gu Ce quite a bit. Gu Ce has created so many miracles, what harm is there in one more?
"Next, I will have my true form leave the spaceship as soon as possible and return to the original universe to recuperate for a period of time. This period is also a time for my human race to accumulate strength," Gu Ce said after thinking for a moment.
"Then, I will have Xingliuhai's clone explore the Jade Palace. If it is really impossible to leave, then it is not too late to consider self-destruction."
"Hmm." Both the founder of the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City nodded.
This is indeed the best choice.
Waiting inside the Jade Palace!
If you can wait until the next active period to emerge, that would be best. If you can't wait, you can explore the Jade Palace first. If there's really no other way, then you can consider self-destructing your clone to escape the Jade Palace.
……
Inside the Jade Palace.
Gu Ce left Lianhua Ancient City, released his domain, and became alert to his surroundings.
The Jade Palace, even the strongest among the human races, has not been explored; they only have hearsay information about it.
Therefore, even Gu Ce had no idea what he would encounter or what would happen here!
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the danger is probably not great.
In the past, the powerful beings who were trapped in the Jade Palace and failed to escape were basically trapped and died inside. Until the end of the three cycles of reincarnation, whether they were the strongest beings in the universe or the masters of the universe, as long as they did not transcend reincarnation, they would die.
As for the people from the two holy land universes, there have been no reports of them getting trapped in the Jade Palace. They have more information and long lifespans, so they can wait until the Jade Palace becomes active again before leaving.
Gu Ce cautiously observed his surroundings.
The surrounding walls were covered with strange images, depicting some unknown person or object.
Even Gu Ce, who had inherited the legacy of the Wu Kingdom, could not recognize what these things were.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gu Ce did not check the information related to the Origin Continent.
Having made up his mind, Gu Ce first instructed Rimuru to search for relevant information among the Wu Kingdom's traditions, based on the situation here.
With the power of the Lord of the Universe, it is still possible for him to roughly simulate these images and send Rimuru to find them.
Rimuru quickly found the relevant information—
"The Coriander Clan?" Gu Ce murmured.
According to the information passed down in the Wu Kingdom, the Coriander Clan is a special ethnic group originating from the continent, skilled in crafting supreme treasures, and... similar to an ancient tradition on Earth, 'Buddhism'.
While Buddhism differs from nature on Earth, its general form is similar, and its core concepts are alike.
They worship a powerful ancient Buddha and have become his disciples. The strongest member of their clan possesses the power of a Chaos Ruler. This Jade Palace should also be a treasure crafted by the Coriander Clan. It is unknown why it ended up in a place like the Cosmos Sea.
Looking at the densely packed 'Buddha statues' inside the Jade Palace, it's likely that this is a missionary site for the Coriander tribe.
And since this is a place for missionary work...
The difficulty of gaining recognition as the master of the Jade Palace is probably greater than imagined.
It seems that one must be a follower of that ancient Buddha, or even a member of the Coriander Clan, to be able to acknowledge this palace as their master!
Gu Ce fell silent; he clearly didn't want to believe in anything strange.
Well then, let's just wait.
Waiting quietly, just like before.
