Chapter 1045: Can Jing Control the Human Emperor’s Palace?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Human Emperor’s Palace, Bi Zhu sat in front of the dragon egg and looked at it very closely.

Finally, she sighed. “I won’t leave you here all by yourself. What a delicate egg!”

She thought that the dragon inside must be a female dragon.

“Princess, what do you plan to do?” Qiao Yi asked.

They had tried every method, but they could not leave the hall with the egg.

Although the place was huge, they were not allowed in many areas.

There were many useful and magical things here. Everything seemed to be prepared for the dragon egg.

Unfortunately, the egg did not hatch.

To Qiao Yi’s surprise, Princess Bi Zhu only took two items of decent value.

She did not touch the rest.

There were dragon inheritances, dharma treasures, and True Dragon’s Bone Sword, but she touched none of it.

“I have a new method, but I’m thinking about which one to use first.” Bi Zhu sat down.

She could not pass the Human Emperor’s test nor the dragon egg’s test.

She could only use other people’s methods.

She was curious if Jing had returned to the South.

If so, was he being tested?

She suddenly remembered the secret technique to activate the Human Emperor’s Palace.

‘Jing never mentioned it before… Could it really work?’ She thought.

Bi Zhu felt that it was unbelievable. She did not even know there was a secret technique.

If it did work, then the secret technique would definitely prove that she was on the Human Emperor’s side.

She had a feeling that everything was connected, and it all led to Jing.

Whether it was the rise of the Xuanyuan Clan, the release of the Saint Bandits, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, or everything else that had happened, Jing had always been involved.

It was the same with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and the Earth extreme Dream Pearl.

Was the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl part of Jing’s plan?

Bi Zhu shuddered as she thought about it.

If that was really the case, then everything that had happened and would happen was all because of him.

From the day Jing entered the gathering, the gears of fate had begun to turn.

“Princess?” Qiao Yi called.

“It’s fine. I was distracted. Now, let’s try the most effective method.” After Bi Zhu sat down, she began to remember the secret technique.

This secret technique required him to enter a state of concentration to perceive the Human Emperor’s Palace.

Even if she could not use it completely, she could use a part of the secret technique to activate the palace.

Then, he would use the power of the Human Emperor’s Palace.

Qiao Yi did not ask any more questions. She stood guard to protect the princess.

Her power was not as great as the Golden Core Realm cultivators she had met in the West, but she was still powerful enough to protect the princess.

Those three Golden Core Realm cultivators were something else.

At that moment, Bi Zhu felt empty.

Since she was in the Human Emperor’s Palace, she could vaguely sense the emperor’s presence here.

Then, the secret technique began to circulate.

It resonated with the power of the Human Emperor’s Palace.

She saw a majestic palace unfold.

Bi Zhu was overjoyed. She continued to use the technique.

However, the Human Emperor’s Palace suddenly stopped in the air.

In the end, it disappeared.

Bi Zhu was hit by a golden light, and all she felt was the vast emptiness.

She flew backward with the impact and fell on the floor.

She was disheveled.

Fortunately, she was not injured.

“How brutal!” Bi Zhu lay on the floor.

This was just too much.

She was still a young girl, and the Human Emperor’s Palace might be centuries old.

“Princess, are you alright?” Qiao Yi helped Bi Zhu up.

“I’m fine.” She waved her hand dismissively.

She suddenly froze. The suppressive power of the Human Emperor’s Palace had disappeared.

“I think… I passed the test.”

Although she didn’t know how she realized that she had indeed passed the test.

She was in a daze.

Then, she walked in front of the dragon egg and tried to touch it.

Although she was still not welcome to it, she was not rejected by it like before.

‘As expected, Jing must have obtained the secret technique recently. Otherwise, how could I have worked?’ She thought. ‘Xing is right. The secret technique cannot be used to activate the power of the palace. Then, is Jing the key?’

Bi Zhu speculated but had a bad feeling about the whole thing.

After passing the test, all she had to do was go out.

At the very least, she had to send the dragon egg to the Heavenly Note Sect.

After some thought, she decided to curse the Fallen Immortal Clan first.

She bowed. “Dear ancestors, if you can hear me, I, your descendant, want to go against the Fallen Immortal Clan. I hope you can help me.”

There was no reaction. However, a prayer was a prayer.

At daybreak, Jiang Hao looked at Li Ertao. He had almost recovered fully.

There were only six people left in the team.

However, no one would cause trouble.

Liao Jin and the others felt uneasy. Without the Heavenly Eye, they were not sure if they could find their way out.

Liao Jin sighed wearily. Perhaps Jiang Hao had acted too recklessly.

In his opinion, the best course of action was to endure things if the other party had the advantage. Once they had what they needed, then they could make a move.

They did not have the Heavenly Eye anymore to guide them. They will have to face the danger head-on.

He did not dare to voice out his thoughts.

The woman from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion lowered her head and sighed.

Jiang Hao looked at everyone and understood what they might be feeling.

He was willing to go into the lake alone. However, this was a group mission, so everyone had to participate.

Things did not go as they planned in the world. It was normal for sudden hiccups in their plan.

They had no choice. Like Jiang Hao, they were obligated to complete the mission.

There was nothing they could do.

“Let’s go,” said Jiang Hao.

They nodded and followed him.

When they arrived at the lakeside, Jiang Hao frowned.

The lake had become larger.

He had to figure things out quickly, but he was not sure if the Fallen Immortal Clan would give him enough time.

“Be careful,” he said.

Everyone had gone in once, so they had some experience.

“Senior Brother Jiang, we don’t have the Heavenly Eye. What should we do after we enter?” asked Cheng Yuchen from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion.

“My perception is sharp. Just follow me. We’ll figure it out later,” said Jiang Hao.

After that, they disappeared into the lake.

The space distorted, and darkness enveloped everyone.

Meanwhile, the members of the Fallen Immortal Clan watched. They were stationed around the trap they had created.

Countless formations were set up all around the lake. They all pointed to one person. Their target was Smiling San Sheng.

They could not find Smiling San Sheng directly. They would be satisfied if they found something related to him near the Heavenly Note Sect.

Ripples appeared in the lake.

“Seems like he has gone in. Activate the altar. This time, we have to be able to spy on him, no matter the cost.”

The middle-aged man looked determined.
