Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 839 - 859: Is the Way to Leave This Simple?_1

"This seems to be just the front hall. Let’s take a look inside!"

After passing through the front hall, their footsteps suddenly came to a halt, their eyes stunned as they looked ahead. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Inside the enormous palace, five huge Array Formations were situated in five different positions, forming an equilateral pentagon. Each Array Formation displayed various scenes within it.

Either raging wildfires that covered the entire sky, endless seas with shimmering water, countless formidable metallic weapons, rapid growth of forests and flowers, or boundless yellow earth stretching to infinity...

The Array Formations were huge, the changing scenes within them even more immense. Each Array Formation was like a miniature world, madly operating in a continuous cycle.

In the center of the Main Hall was an enormous portal. Each massive Array Formation extended a line of Essence, leading to the towering portal above, finally converging into a giant Light Door shimmering with white light.

Whether it was the changing scenes inside the five Array Formations or the white light shining inside the Light Door, they gave people an incomparably majestic feeling. Yet there was not a single sound, as if the whole world had been muted.

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth - this is the Five Elements Origin Array, with the Five Elements Essence overflowing from within. It’s as light as a cloud, yet as heavy as a mountain..."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes shone with excitement, "An ordinary cultivator cannot absorb the Five Elements Essence because their Dantian cannot bear its weight. However, the Five Elements Spirit Body can not only absorb the corresponding Five Elements Essence but also gain tremendous growth. Furthermore, having the Five Elements Essence in the Dantian greatly enhances one’s combat power compared to other cultivators at the same level."

Lin Chen looked at her, eyes filled with delight, "Can you absorb this Five Elements Essence?"

Gu Yuexi replied, "I can absorb the Wood Essence, but I cannot absorb the others. If there were a suitable container, it would be possible to store these Five Elements Essence. Unfortunately, the Five Elements Essence is too heavy. Ordinary containers and even Magical Treasures can’t bear the weight. Otherwise, if we could take these Essences out and sell them, they would be worth a fortune."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "You are a Five Elements Spirit Body, and I understand that you can digest the Wood Essence. But there are so few Five Elements Spirit Bodies in the entire Barren Wilderness Realm. Do you plan to sell these to them? Isn’t that too small of a customer base?"

Gu Yuexi explained, "The Five Elements Essence is the essence of Heaven and Earth. For example, Fire Essence used as the flame in Refinement, Gold Essence infused into offensive Magical Treasures, Earth Essence infused into defensive Magical Treasures - the quality of the refined Magical Treasures will be greatly improved. Wood Essence promotes growth, while Water Essence possesses excellent healing abilities. In summary, they have many uses."

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the Gold Essence, pondering.

His Full-body Sword Bone was already formed, but his Senior Sister had said that if he wanted to advance further, he needed to temper his Sword Bone, and the materials needed for that were extremely rare and special – the Five Elements Essence being one of them.

Ordinary cultivators couldn’t absorb the Five Elements Essence because their Dantian couldn’t bear its weight. But if Lin Chen only intended to refine his Sword Bone, like refining a weapon, he could directly incorporate the Five Elements Essence into his Sword Bone without needing it to enter his Dantian, hence avoiding the weight-bearing problem, right?

"Let’s explore a bit more first, without cultivating for now."

Gu Yuexi nodded, "We still need to find an escape method first. Otherwise, even if we cultivate here and raise our abilities, it will be useless in the end."

"Yes."

Lin Chen agreed, "With so many people here, someone should have left some information behind. It shouldn’t only be bitter cries of unwillingness."

They tiptoed past all the Array Formations and headed further in. They didn’t walk far before they saw densely packed characters etched on the walls of the palace up ahead.

When the two of them got closer for a careful look, their faces revealed expressions of delight.

These words briefly narrated the history of the Five Elements Immortal Palace, some of its rules, and finally mentioned the methods to leave the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

To absorb Five Elements Essence, when one’s body contained enough Five Elements Essence, they could step onto that central door and leave the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

Yes, it was that simple!

Lin Chen was dumbfounded, "By simply absorbing Essence, one can leave. Throughout history, not even one person has ever left. Could it be because no one has been able to absorb enough Five Elements Essence?"

Gu Yuexi joyfully said, "Now that you mention it, it doesn’t seem entirely impossible. Isn’t this the Five Elements Immortal Palace? Logically speaking, isn’t it most suitable for the Five Elements Spirit Bodies? In ancient times, the Five Elements Spirit Bodies were extremely rare to begin with. The appearance of the Five Elements Immortal Palace is uncertain - sometimes a thousand years, sometimes a few hundred years, sometimes discovered by people, sometimes never discovered. Perhaps the odds were never in their favor to begin with, which is entirely possible."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, and it did indeed seem plausible. The rules of the Five Elements Immortal Palace hadn’t spread to the world. Even if one discovered the Five Elements Immortal Palace and possessed a Five Elements Spirit Body, as long as they hadn’t reached the point where they were close to death, who would gamble with their lives given their boundless future as a Five Elements Spirit Body?

Perhaps by the time a Five Elements Spirit Body was close to death and looking to take a risk, the Five Elements Immortal Palace might not have appeared for centuries.

Wouldn’t they have just missed it then?

Lin Chen turned his head, excitedly saying, "You’re a Wood Spirit Body. As long as you work hard in your cultivation, you will undoubtedly be able to leave! You will become the first person to leave the Five Elements Immortal Palace!"

Gu Yuexi turned to look at Lin Chen, her face showing joy that gradually disappeared.

"I won’t go! I will stay here with you!"
