Chapter 736: Chapter 217: Soaring! The Terrifying Immortal Appearance, Battling Paradise Palace

Xie Yu: Zzz...

Li Yuan continued, "In short, I can instantly teleport to other places. Didn’t I say I was going to practice during the day? Well, now’s the time. If I’m quick, I’ll be back before dawn."

Xie Yu opened her eyes, wide awake.

"Instantly teleport to other places?"

She asked suspiciously, then added, "Then what were you doing in the secret room..."

Li Yuan responded awkwardly, "Uh-huh."

Xie Yu’s face showed a self-mocking smile as she asked, "Am I just a game to you?" ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Li Yuan said, "If you were just a game, I wouldn’t be telling you all this... It’s just that I really have some secrets."

"Was it you who assassinated the Emperor?" Xie Yu suddenly asked.

Li Yuan nodded.

"No wonder... no wonder... it turns out... your target from the start was the Emperor. Marrying me was just a way to get close to him," Xie Yu said softly.

Li Yuan said righteously, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I assassinated the Emperor because that day he made lewd comments to you—I couldn’t stand it!"

Xie Yu said, "Just admit it..."

How could Li Yuan admit it?

That would be too hurtful.

He shook his head again and again and said, "Xiaoyu’Er, you can guess, but you can’t wrong me."

The two looked at each other.

For a long while...

Xie Yu said, "So who are you going to practice with?"

Li Yuan said, "I’m planning to go to Mianzhou Path, to find..."

"Who to find?" Xie Yu sniffled and looked aggrieved, as if he was going to hide something from her again.

Li Yuan said, "To find Paradise Palace."

Xie Yu: ???

"What Palace?"

"Paradise Palace..." Li Yuan scratched his head, having no reason to deceive the person beside him in bed anymore, so he no longer lied.

Xie Yu opened her mouth for a long time and said softly, "Lying again..."

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I’ll take you with me, so you can watch from the outside then, although it takes a long time to get from here to Mianzhou Path."

Xie Yu pushed against him and said, "Go ahead, just come back early. I don’t care who you spar with."

Li Yuan nodded, got up, gave her a smile, then held the "Nine Temporary Patrol Tokens" and instantly disappeared from the spot.

...

In the next instant, Li Yuan appeared on a desolate land.

There were still many skeleton remains scattered across this plain.

Several decades ago, when the Divine Wood Hall tested Paradise Palace’s routine, Li Yuan had been here once, so he was somewhat familiar with the place.

At this moment, he quietly sat in front of a mountain wall, and in front of him, a golden body quickly appeared, emerging in shimmering golden light.

Afraid that his body might get injured, he moved away from it, then strode forward, heading into the wilderness ahead.

After walking for a while, his eyes flickered.

Under the moonlight, strands of gold gleamed brightly amidst the underbrush and stone piles, dazzlingly.

Li Yuan looked on.

It was gold.

He recalled someone who had picked up gold before, only to summon an Evil Ghost and lose their heart as a result.

"Heart?"

The Hundred Feet Golden Body of Li Yuan touched his chest, where there was the scorching Withered Fire and the surging Ancestral Talisman.

So, he bent down and picked up the gold.

As soon as the gold fell into his hands, it made a strange "hissing" sound within the Withered Fire, and in matter of moments, as cool air floated around it, the gold reverted to its original form, which turned out to be various rotted body organs; hearts, kidneys, and everything else...

Li Yuan weighed these organs for a while, vigilantly looking around.

He wouldn’t let his guard down.

This was one of the terrifying forbidden zones on the Great Zhou Nine Paths.

Yet, after waiting awhile, he didn’t encounter his target.

So Li Yuan began picking up gold again.

Like a farmer picking ears of wheat in a rice field, he gathered gold in this forbidden zone.

While picking up gold, he suddenly felt something wrap around his foot.

He looked down.

Oh, a spider web.

He shook his foot.

Withered Fire instantly engulfed the web, making an extremely weird "hissing" sound, and the web soon disappeared, turning into thick, wet hair. Among the strands, even a bun had formed, vaguely tinged with red-black bloodstains.

The hair seemed to grow out of thin air, extremely bizarre.

Li Yuan bent down, grabbing the hair and started pulling it out.

Finally, something happened.

The pitch-black hair suddenly formed a strange hole, from which a strong gust of Yin Qi blew out like a blower.

The bursts of Yin Qi made Li Yuan feel cold immediately, and the Withered Fire on his ankle shrank inward by several inches, becoming slightly smaller.

In the hole, a strange shadow was quickly crawling out—it’s a child’s body with no limbs. Surrounding the humanoid form were "eight legs," all composed of human organs, each having a head.

The pitch-black hair grew from these heads.

The spider spins silk.

The Ghost Spider doesn’t spin silk, but hair.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!

The dense, drumbeat-like footsteps rapidly approached, and the heads on the eight legs bit directly onto Li Yuan’s leg, while the strange black hair from the nine heads instantly wrapped around, quickly turning Li Yuan’s leg into a "webbed" shape.

Li Yuan felt his leg shrinking rapidly.

With the Ghost Spider’s pounce, his leg shrank by half, diminishing by over a hundred inches.

And at that moment, another shadow dashed past from a distance.

Li Yuan saw clearly: it was a giant mouse with a human head.

But this giant rat wasn’t coming towards him, instead, it was speeding towards where his body was left, intending to dig out his organs.

How could he let the giant mouse reach there? His figure moved instantly.
