"Huan Tian, you shouldn't get involved. Your illusion technique won't do much here."
"Woof!"
The Mountain Cat and the Gray Lion Dog, one using fire and the other using thunder, quickly blasted a cave into the rocky mountain.
Zhao Xing watched the surroundings warily. Seeing no one appear despite the commotion, he guessed that there really was no one around.
So he let the three combat beasts rest inside while he continued to burrow into the earth to observe the Jiyuan Palace.
"Jiyuan Palace."
Upon entering the earth, Zhao Xing was involuntarily drawn to the palace's shadowy illusion.
Although he had been studying it for more than six days, each time he looked, he felt something different.
The perfect Earth Palace structure, built upon the earth veins, circulated and flowed.
Each brick and tile, when observed closely, seemed to flow like water, circulating in endless cycles. Each piece appeared to be a whirlpool within the flow of water.
