593: Chapter 416 593: Chapter 416 Jiang Tang stopped the Magical Treasure at the entrance of the palace, secretly absorbing the colorful energy into the two spaces to control the circles of light, turning this colorful energy into a ball.
The more he absorbed, the larger the ball became, eventually turning into a balloon, growing larger and larger as it drifted in the air within the two spaces.
Unless he permitted it, none of the creatures or Spirit Grass inside the spaces could absorb these two balloons of energy, which were going to be useful to him later on.
He couldnât let some plants or creatures waste the energy that wasnât easy for him to gather.
Improving everything in the space could lead to better Pills, but not every pill was for his useâmany were sold to others, so he couldnât afford to waste them.
He needed to raise the value of the spaces, and although he wasnât a dishonest merchant, he still wanted to leave the best things for the most deserving people.
âMaster, let us out!â Eryao vaguely felt that there was a voice inside calling out to him.
âMaster, I want to go out too!â Green Oxâs face was filled with joy as it sensed something inside that it desired, especially this kind of colorful energy, which it wanted to absorb more of.
âJiang Tang, why arenât you moving?
Just go inside for a while!â The women by his side didnât tell him to let so many people down, considering there were still ordinary people inside the Magical Treasure.
âWait a second, there are traps inside.
Letâs take precautions first!â Jiang Tang was not deceiving anyone when he said this; there really were traps inside.
Those on top of the flying arrows and those who had convinced Jiang Tang to send the flying arrows inside were confused as they stayed together with the women and pets, not understanding why Jiang Tang said it was dangerous inside.
Since Jiang Tang had said so, they could only blindly trust him, believing in his ability to sense danger.
Everyone under the protection of his Magical Treasure did not feel the danger from outside, vaguely hoping that the rainbow light outside would bring them good luck.
Ye Tian, among all the men and women, had the highest ability next to Jiang Tang.
Inside Jiang Tangâs Magical Treasure, he also could not sense any danger from the rainbow light outside, only pondering if the light might be like Energy Stones, bringing greater energy to their bodies.
In the legends of their Guardian Godâs lineage, it was said that this seven-color energy belonged to the Immortals, a type of energy that only Immortals could possess and was used by them in their Cultivation.
This was merely a legend, and they had never truly seen it.
Ye Tian would only encounter such glowing energy in the myths and magic films of his past life, chasing it as a treasure in their endless search.
Jiang Tang said there were traps inside, a Great Power Holderâs intuition, he thought.
After all, Jiang Tang was two major levels above him, and with such lofty understanding, he knew the dangers and opportunities they were oblivious to.
When Jiang Tang first sensed the presence of the seven-color energy, he was also elated.
Even now, while paused, he was using the protection of the Magical Treasure to absorb the seven-color energy at the palace entrance into the two spaces.
Even if he didnât go inside, he was already making use of the energyâwhy not take what was freely available?
Jiang Tang sensed there were traps inside, not only were there mechanisms set up, but there was also no human presence, only Immortal Qi, which didnât necessarily mean the beings inside were alive.
Jiang Tang felt it was like the previous instance of the monkey being deprived of its soul, its soul compressed in one place while its body was pressed elsewhere.
The body had Immortal Qi, but it belonged to the soul.
Even if there were bodies inside, they would belong to soulless creatures.
There wasnât just one inside; various souls were present, and Jiang Tang originally guessed that the Dragon Palace might have been where the Dragon King resided.
Even if the Dragon King was not currently residing there, could it be that the members of the Dragon Clan were living within?
Jiang Tang extended his powerful Divine Sense into the interior, discovering under the cover of the rainbow light at the entrance of the Dragon Palace a massive trap.
At the entrance of the Dragon Palace was a Guardian God, which was the soul of a trident, also known as the mythical guardian of the Dragon Palace.
As soon as Jiang Tangâs Divine Sense reached this area, he felt the presence of this soul, and the other party also became aware of the Divine Sense of an unknown living person.
TridentâŠ, that was a human, who looked a bit weaker but had the advantage of being aliveâperfect for a soul-snatching.
It was both shocked and overjoyed, having waited for so many years, finally a living person had arrived.
The blood that had surfaced on the sea earlier was also absorbed by it at the entrance of the Dragon Palace and offered to the grand king inside.
Long Cha sensed a chance for rebirth, even if it was by possessing a human inferior to him, it was still better than a normal ordinary person, whom he hated the most.
Back then, when their Dragon Palace faced annihilation, it was because the human Immortals were growing stronger, leading to several races battling with their magic, and the souls of those inside the Dragon Palace were not only killed but also sealed here.
After waiting for a whole 10,000 years, Long Cha felt that after today, he would be reborn and once he became human, he would definitely unseal the souls of the entire Dragon Clan.
Thinking of this, Long Cha didnât care whether this human was really that weak; after all, he was not an Immortal and not as powerful as Long Cha.
He was confident that even now with only his soul, he was stronger than any human.
A trident flew towards the direction of the Magical Treasure, chasing after this humanâs Divine Sense to possess him.
Jiang Tang had only dispatched a sliver of Divine Sense to probe, and that probe revealed the otherâs true intentions.
He discovered that there was more than one soul at the entrance and that this soul was not human, but rather seemed like a Guardian of the Dragon Palace.
Jiang Tang had no idea what had transpired in the Dragon Palace and why the gate was guarded by a soul.
But it was now clear to him that this soul wanted to possess him.
Was that even possible?
Jiang Tang didnât know how many more souls were inside or what dangers lay ahead.
This time, he wasnât using the insects powered by two types of energy to scout ahead.
Instead, he thought of the three monkeys from the Hell Palace store.
These monkeys had both soul and body; one monkey had split into three, and all of them had formed a contract with him.
He released the monkeys because he recalled a myth from a TV show and wondered if the monkeys could fight off Long Cha and the souls inside the Dragon Palace.
But he knew that having the monkeys scout ahead wouldnât be a loss, and it was clear that there must be treasures inside the Dragon Palace.
While Jiang Tang was doing this, he shut off the skill to see outside, preventing those inside the cabin from seeing what was happening outside.
This was because Jiang Tang did not want more people to know about the battle between the monkeys and the souls.
The matter of collecting the monkeys was known only to about ten people at the base, and they also had no idea where Jiang Tang had taken the monkeys and his soul, but they kept their mouths shut, unlike the hundreds of his subordinates who were unaware of the situation.
When Jiang Tang disabled the feature that allowed others to see outside, those inside were left in the dark.
Without knowing what was happening outside, it made them itch with curiosity.
âJiang Tang, why canât we see anything now?â the women around Jiang Tang asked, while the others chose to remain silent.
âThereâs danger outside, and Iâm protecting you all.
When you need to know whatâs happening outside, Iâll let you know,â Jiang Tang said, reluctant for more of his secrets to be known, especially regarding the Hell Palace treasure which he did not want more people to learn about.
âBut itâs such a pity we canât see the thrilling battle!â the girls said, talking amongst themselves.
âYou want to see something thrilling at the risk of your lives?â Jiang Tang felt that having too many women around was also troublesome, not noticing that his subordinates were all quiet and better behaved than the women at his side.
âAlright, we understand,â the women dared not speak further.
Jiang Tangâs friendly demeanor had turned cold, and they knew his patience was limited.
Jiang Tang had shown these women the Hell Palace before; they probably wouldnât be scared if they saw it, but there were more people present now, necessitating a degree of secrecy.
Jiang Tang secretly called for the three monkeys from the Hell Palace, inadvertently waking the sleeping Artifact Spirit.
âMaster, whatâs happening?â the Artifact Spirit asked cutely.
âHmm, I need the monkeys to take care of some souls,â Jiang Tang responded with a more affectionate demeanor towards the Artifact Spirit.
âOh, is it something fun?
Then I want to join in too!â the Artifact Spirit felt it must be about dealing with soulsâhow could the Hell Palace be absent from that!
