Chapter 1042: One Palace and Four Halls

When Xiao Mian regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw a closed city wall behind him and a palace gate in front of him.

There was a plaque on the palace gate with three big characters written on it - Zhen is thunder!

Although Xiao Mian did not understand the art of divination, he also knew that "Zhen is thunder" was one of the sixty-four hexagrams, and it was the image of two Zhen hexagrams in the same hexagram.

In other words, Zhen is thunder is a hexagram formed by the merger of two Zhen hexagrams.

It's really a good omen!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian walked forward, took a deep breath, and pushed the two palace doors - it was not as heavy as expected, and the two palace doors opened silently.

Just as Xiao Mian was about to step over the palace gate, he suddenly heard a thunderclap that shocked a hundred miles away. Fortunately, Xiao Mian was determined and his face remained calm.

Sure enough, after the thunder, there was no other strange phenomenon.

Xiao Mian smiled lightly, stepped forward, and walked into the palace gate.

This time when he entered the Lei Peng Demon Mansion, Xiao Mian was not very interested in treasure hunting. Instead, he cared about finding a few opponents who he liked or disliked and fighting them.

After several years of seclusion in the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, Xiao Mian was very clear: If he wanted to break the current bottleneck in a short period of time, a life-and-death battle was the best opportunity.

Otherwise, if he followed the steps, it would take him at least 30 years to break the bottleneck and successfully break through to the top level of Jindan.

But what Xiao Mian lacked the most was time!

Calculating the time, it was less than a year away from the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference.

Xiao Mian had long intended to make a splash at the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference, not only to make a name for himself, but also to establish a good reputation for Nanyuezhou and to strengthen the Five Elements Sect.

However, how could those high-ranking Zhongzhou leaders - the Ten Heavenly Lords and the Nine Holy Lands allow a southern barbarian cultivator to overwhelm Zhongzhou?

By then, Xiao Mian's enemies might be those legendary descendants of the Holy Land.

Although Xiao Mian is no longer afraid of the likes of Thunder God and Yama, even Thunder God and Yama are only comparable to the descendants of the Holy Land. If you count the perfect inheritance of the Holy Land descendants' skills, excellent magic equipment and powerful logistical supplies, even Thunder God and Yama would not dare to act recklessly after entering Tiandu City.

What's more, even Thunder God holds the top-level magic weapon Lie Que Ring!

If Xiao Mian wants to confront the descendants of the Holy Land head-on, he must first improve his own cultivation to the top level of Jindan, so that he can have room for maneuver when they are at the same level.

Challenge the descendants of the Holy Land across levels?

Xiao Mian now does not have that kind of confidence...

Therefore, on this trip to Lei Peng's demon mansion, Xiao Mian only wants - fight! Fight! Fight!

However, after walking for a while, Xiao Mian, who was eager to fight, stopped with a strange look. It's not that there is no way ahead, but without any sign, eight portals appeared in front of Xiao Mian, facing him with a dark hole, like a monster that chooses people to eat.

If Xiao Mian hadn't had the experience in Boguzhai, he might have thought that the eight portals were just a trick and would have chosen one at random to move forward.

Then, are these eight portals a replica of the eight-door golden lock array?

Could it be that an eight-door golden lock array is embedded in the entire Lei Peng Monster Mansion?

And judging from the posture, this eight-door golden lock array is definitely not derived from an ordinary array disk, but a real one - an eighth-level top-grade trap array!

With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian released the black cloth.

"Xiaobu! I can't say, this time it's your turn to shine again..."

With such a chuckle, Xiao Mian wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, just like in Boguzhai before, as long as the black cloth marked the correct passage, he would enter.

After an hour, Hei Bu shook his head dejectedly.

"No... no?"

"..."

"After all, this is a complete eight-door golden lock array, not an eighth-level array plate. Without the help of the ghost, it is indeed a bit difficult for you to rely on your own strength!"

Although the ghost head has no entity, it has condensed the Nascent Soul after all, and it can be regarded as a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator, but it cannot enter the Lei Peng Monster Mansion - the entire Lei Peng Monster Mansion has been imposed with a kind of restriction similar to the Zulong Residence - which can isolate the Nascent Soul ancestors!

In other words, in the Lei Peng Monster Mansion, Jindan cultivators dominate!

"Don't worry! Even if I can't find the right path, I will definitely break through thousands of mountains and use this pair of fists to forcibly smash a path!"

The two fists collided, making a muffled sound. Xiao Mian was about to break through the array violently, but his expression suddenly moved, and he remembered an old story - when the Qingqiu Patriarch returned to Nanyue that day, Huo Long'er, the kid, gave him something, saying that it was ordered by the Nine-Fingered Thief.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian took out the item, looked at it carefully, and gradually a bright smile appeared on his face.

That item was shaped like a Bagua bronze mirror!

Xiao Mian had not paid much attention to it before, but now it seems that this Bagua bronze mirror is clearly closely related to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation - the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation array that day was an Bagua disk. If Xiao Mian's guess is correct, this Bagua bronze mirror should have magical effects.

Holding the Bagua bronze mirror in one hand, Xiao Mian signaled Hei Bu to let go.

Hei Bu merged into the Bagua bronze mirror and disappeared.

In this way, Xiao Mian became more confident, and had a deeper understanding of the good intentions of the Nine-fingered Thief - if Xiao Mian had ulterior motives towards the Huo brothers and sisters, he would naturally not be able to get the Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror, and might even be in danger; if Xiao Mian took good care of the Huo brothers and sisters, he could get the Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror from Huo Long'er, the cunning little fox, and then successfully enter the Lei Peng Demon Mansion. If Xiao Mian had some conscience and appreciated the Nine-fingered Thief's painstaking efforts, perhaps he would even favor the Huo brothers and sisters.

Of course, that was all later. Xiao Mian was not willing to speculate too maliciously on the last wishes of a deceased old man. He just wanted to break through the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array as soon as possible.

A quarter of an hour later, Hei Bu marked the first door.

Xiao Mian stepped in without hesitation.

Anyway, he knew nothing about the formation, so instead of blindly riding a blind horse, it would be better to let Hei Bu do it.

After that, Xiao Mian entered the door and broke through the door almost non-stop.

After passing through eight doors in a row, Xiao Mian took a step and appeared in a huge space. The whole space was shaped like a dome. In the center was a large and magnificent palace. Four small palaces were located on each side of the palace.

There was blue sky and white clouds above the dome. The bright sunshine shone down, reflecting on the palace and four halls, radiating thousands of feet of golden light...

But at this time, Hei Bu was weak and dying.

Xiao Mian felt distressed. Although he had the help of the Eight Diagrams Bronze Mirror, Hei Bu led Xiao Mian all the way smoothly, but he also suffered a lot of losses.

Taking out some spiritual materials with abundant spiritual energy, Xiao Mian fed them to Hei Bu.

"Xiao Bu, thank you for your hard work! Recover as much as you can. I don't know. I will need you to help later..."

Hei Bu shuddered when he heard the words, but still desperately devoured the spiritual materials that Xiao Mian brought to his door - showing his true nature as a foodie!

Speaking of Xiao Mian, he slowly walked to the largest palace and looked up. There was also a plaque hanging above the palace gate. The plaque had these three words written on it - Thunder God Palace!

Thunder God Palace?

What a big tone!

Others may not know the details of Lei Peng Yaozun, but Xiao Mian has heard a little about it from the little saint monk.

It is said that this Thunder Peng Demon Venerable was born from the purple-feathered Dapeng clan, an eighth-level demon bird. He was gifted and good at controlling thunder magic. He also got some opportunities. After breaking through to the ninth-level demon bird by chance, he went one step further and became the top demon venerable among demon cultivators!

Demon Venerables are like the Heavenly Venerables among human cultivators!

Throughout the ages, Heavenly Venerables are rare, and Demon Venerables are even rarer!

But even so, calling yourself "Thunder God" is too narcissistic, right?

It's a bit like the boy Thunder God of Lei Zhen Palace...

After saying these two words in his heart, Xiao Mian turned around and left the Thunder God Palace. Although Xiao Mian, with the help of Hei Bu, was ahead of everyone in passing the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation and was the first to reach this palace, Xiao Mian did not think that he could break the restrictions of the Thunder God Palace by himself. It's easy to figure out that the Thunder God Palace must be the highest-level place in the Thunder Peng Monster Mansion. Although the things inside must be the most precious, the restrictions of the Thunder God Palace must also be the most powerful.

If Xiao Mian rashly tries to attack the Thunder God Palace, let alone whether it will attract the attack of the entire Thunder Peng Monster Mansion, just to say that he is working hard halfway and someone else comes, it is definitely to make wedding clothes for others? Isn't it the same bad luck as Wang Yong that day?

Instead of provoking the Thunder God Palace, it is better to make a plan in the other four side halls now. Maybe, you can get some benefits...

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian observed the four side halls one by one.

The four side halls, divided into east, west, south and north, guard the Thunder God Palace. They are named: East Water Solution Hall, South Fire Follow Hall, West Feng Heng Hall and North Di Yu Hall.

After observing the four side halls one by one, Xiao Mian came to the west.

West, Feng Heng Hall!

Although Xiao Mian entered the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion mainly for fighting, it would be best if he could gain something.

Now, Feng Heng Palace is undoubtedly Xiao Mian's favorite.

It should be noted that although Tuoba Lan has recovered his cultivation, and even after smelting twelve points of Thunder Peng Demon Blood, he has a new thunder attribute spiritual root, but with the current situation of Tuoba Lan practicing both wind and thunder attributes, it is difficult to find a spiritual material with both wind and thunder attributes.

The ice and fire plaque in Xiao Mian's hand was made of the scales of the ice and fire dragon. The ice and fire dragon is an ancient giant, and even if the Thunder Peng Demon Lord is resurrected, he cannot defeat it. This shows how precious dual-attribute spiritual materials are...

If you can't find dual-attribute spiritual materials, it's also good to find the best wind attribute spiritual materials.

With this purpose, Xiao Mian came to Feng Heng Palace.

He stretched out his hands and pushed towards the palace gate. The two palace gates did not move at all, like a mountain.

Xiao Mian was not discouraged. If the two palace gates opened in response, it would be strange!

Taking a few steps back, Xiao Mian took out the Star Magnetic Sword.

Suddenly, the poisonous relic started to run wildly, the blood of the demon dragon trembled slightly, and the pink color was unusually agile. Xiao Mian raised the Star Magnetic Sword, and a spiritual energy sword rushed into the sky and gushed out, but in the end it slowly retracted and condensed to a length of about ten feet.

Xiao Mian compressed the power of the Star Magnetic Sword and his own strength to the extreme.

Suddenly, he swung his arms, and the Star Magnetic Sword, with the spiritual energy sword, chopped on the palace gate of Fengheng Palace. The Star Magnetic Sword was intact, but the spiritual energy sword fell apart.

The power of Xiao Mian's full-strength sword was enough to make Yama retreat.

Unexpectedly, not only could he not open the two palace gates, but he also shattered the spiritual energy sword.

Thinking of Yama, he was a peak Jindan cultivator. Not only did he condense his consciousness, he even comprehended the embryonic form of the domain. He was only one step away from successfully condensing the infant.

Even the Nascent Soul Spiritual Farmer Ding Wenquan that day was probably no match for Yama.

It seems that the access control of Fengheng Palace is probably a Nascent Soul level access control!

If Xiao Mian can't even open the access control of Fengheng Palace, let alone hope to open the access control of Thunder God Palace...

Xiao Mian was not discouraged. If he could break through the gate of Feng Heng Palace so easily, he could even sweep through the four side halls.

How could other cultivators survive?

After that, Xiao Mian used other tricks to try to break through the gate of Feng Heng Palace.

In the end, he even used the Five Elements Wind and Cloud Sword Formation, using the Five Elements Wind and Cloud Sword Formation to wrap the entire Feng Heng Palace. Xiao Mian was furious and raged for a quarter of an hour, but when he put away the Five Elements Wind and Cloud Sword Formation, Feng Heng Palace still stood firm.

This time, Xiao Mian was really a little bit out of temper...

Could it be that he got there first and got nothing?

After scanning Feng Heng Palace again, Xiao Mian's deep eyes finally locked on the plaque above the palace gate-Feng Heng Palace! ?

Wind? Could it be that this is the mystery of the gate?

With a change of mind, Xiao Mian walked to the palace gate, converted his own true essence into wind attribute, and then raised his hand to pour wind attribute true essence into the palace gate.

The next moment, the palace gate radiated a clear and brilliant light...

Xiao Mian was delighted, but when he looked more closely, he couldn't help but laugh or cry - it turned out that only one of the two palace gates was emitting light.

The other palace gate was still dead silent and had no reaction.

Obviously, Xiao Mian had found a way, but it was only half of the way...
