Chapter 0831: Spiritual Water Mirror Palace

One Coiling Dragon Pillar after another protruded from the ground before him. They were each wrapped in a layer of clouds and mist, and one could see exactly six of them at a glance. Additionally, their colors were not the same. The ones that were outermost were bronze, followed by two that were slightly inner, which were silver. The last pillar, in the deepest area, stood alone, shining with golden light.

Looking at the six Coiling Dragon Pillars, the group felt their gazes heat up in excitement.

Li Luo was similarly motivated. His gaze swept across the field, and he noticed that eight individuals had made it in.

Li Qingfeng, Li Hongli, Deng Fengxian, and Lu Qingmei were obviously in. Li Kun, who was the Glass Bone Banner's Banner Leader, and Li Senyan of Thunder Horn Banner had made it as well.

Additionally, there was also Qin Yi.

With himself included, that made eight.

However, the isolation area had yet to close off, and there was no guarantee that no one else would arrive.

There were at least eight individuals with six Coiling Dragon Pillars. Although it seemed as though the competition was not as intense, Li Luo understood that the other seven were the top Banner Leaders and he was the weakest amongst them all.

The good thing was that his aim was just a Bronze Dragon Pillar, whereas the strongest individuals such as Li Qingfeng and Qin Yi would contest for the Golden Dragon Pillar.

Just as Li Luo had these thoughts in mind, the rest could no longer hold themselves back, and they shot out directly towards the six Coiling Dragon Pillars.

Li Luo maintained his position at the back of the pack, uninterested in fighting for glory.

However, once the group entered the vicinity of the Coiling Dragon Pillars, some strange occurrences arose.

Firstly, a blue wave of water quickly spread from the front of the pillars, rippling outwards and forming a screen.

A frightening pressure emanated from the ripples.

After which, the next development caused Li Qingfeng and the rest of the front pack to immediately decrease their speed.

Li Qingfeng was the first to react. He waved his sleeves, causing majestic amounts of resonant power to surge out, forming a manifestation of a green dragon. This dragon manifestation gave a draconic roar, immediately swallowing up endless amounts of worldly natural energy before directly colliding with the ripples of water.

Boom!

Berserk energy blasted out in every direction, and everyone hurriedly circulated their own resonant power to form a barrier.

Even Li Luo's eyes shrank. Li Qingfeng's casual move was nothing out of the ordinary. The strength he had demonstrated could definitely be compared to that of an upper first-grade Duke.

Li Luo then observed the green dragon manifestation that was looming behind him.

Quasi ninth-grade Wind Dragon resonance. However, even though Li Qingfeng was the one who had acted, it was not enough to pierce through the layer of water. Instead, the curtain of water only oscillated violently. What surprised the rest was that a massive, blue hall as large as a mountain was reflected in the water curtain before them.

The hall was exceptionally wide, directly enveloping the six Coiling Dragon Pillars.

This development caused everyone to be slightly taken aback. Such a situation had never occurred within the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool in the past.

Li Luo's brows were furrowed. He could feel resonant power radiating from the massive, blue hall.

The hall was clearly not a test created by the dragonbreath pool, but by a person.

As he swept his gaze past the group, he noticed that Qin Yi had already vanished.

Li Qingfeng's expression changed. He seemed to have noticed something, so he lightly asked, "Lady Qin Yi, what are you trying to do?"

The rest, such as Li Hongli, were slightly shocked. This frightening water curtain was created by Qin Yi?

In their shocked stupor, several ripples condensed within the massive water hall, then Qin Yi's beautiful silhouette appeared.

She glanced at the group as she said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, I'm here to ruin your party as an unwanted guest. This is the Spiritual Water Mirror Palace, a mystical formation created by my ninth-grade water resonance. If you wish to obtain any of the Coiling Dragon Pillars, you'll have to break through it. I, Qin Yi, boldly invite the talents from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li to come in and give it a try."

When her words rang out, the crowd's expressions changed. They had never expected that she would set down such a formation to disrupt them.

"Lady Qin Yi, are you planning to challenge all of us alone?" Li Qingfeng asked as he looked at her solemnly.

"I'm not challenging you. I merely want you to break through my formation." Qin Yi smiled wryly.

"Lady Qin Yi, you're being too arrogant, don't you think?" A low voice rang out. It was the Glass Bone Banner’s Li Kun who was furiously glaring at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi seemed to be completely disregarding these Banner Leaders. Although she possessed a ninth-grade water resonance, Li Qingfeng still had a good chance of triumphing over her when it came to actual strength. Regardless, she was still a single individual and there were seven Banner Leaders present.

Additionally, she was not only utilizing the Spiritual Water Mirror Palace to obstruct them from obtaining the Coiling Dragon Pillars. Her actions would inevitably cause an uproar throughout the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and result in this generation of geniuses to be mocked by the rest!

At the very least, this celebration would end with embarrassment of some sort.

Was this the reason why the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing had attended to begin with? Their motives were truly unfathomable.

The rest of the Banner Leaders were also deep in thought, and their expressions turned ugly, their gazes filled with fury.

Li Luo was similarly shocked by Qin Yi's wild and ambitious heart. He had never expected her to obstruct everyone, and his initial estimation was that she would merely exchange blows with Li Qingfeng over the Golden Dragon Pillar.

However, the Spiritual Water Mirror Palace was not as simple as it seemed. He could feel a distinct sense of danger emanating from it.

Could it be that this casual move would be able to prevent them from cooperating?

"Banner Leader Li Qingfeng, since her actions are so tyrannical, there is no need to give her any face. Let us join hands and destroy this pathetic formation," Li Senyan from the Thunder Horn Banner immediately suggested.

Li Qingfeng sighed deeply and then turned towards Qin Yi. "Lady Qin Yi, for the sake of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's reputation, I will not hold back."

After which, he turned his gaze towards the other Banner Leaders. "Everyone, let us cooperate and see if this water curtain can truly hold us back."

He did not enter the water palace and destroy it from the inside as she had suggested. Who knew what secrets this formation possessed? And if they were to barge in casually, they might very well be falling for a trap.

He might have acted courteously towards her before this, but if he were to continue fawning over her in this situation, his reputation within the younger generation of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages might very well be trampled to pieces.

The rest of the Banner Leaders nodded. In an unknown situation, blindly entering the water palace was not a wise choice.

Thus, the group joined hands, and frightening undulations of energy surged out of them. The seven possessed first-grade Duke strength, so their cooperation could shake the heavens! The entire area trembled immensely, and even the white mist dissipated in the face of their sheer power.

Bang! Bang!

Several one-hundred-meter-tall torrents of energy pierced into the sky, emitting a terrifying sense of pressure.

A moment later, the energy torrents crashed into the water palace.

However, what caused everyone to be taken aback was that even in the face of everyone's combined efforts, the water palace merely rippled slightly before reverting to a state of calm.

"How...?" Everyone's gazes shrank and looks of astonishment appeared in their eyes. How could the water palace created by Qin Yi withstand the sheer might of so many Dukes without even so much as a sound?

Li Luo's expression also turned heavy. Since she had dared to obstruct all of the Banner Leaders of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages, she clearly had some skill.

The water palace was indeed as mystical as he had imagined.

Qin Yi's gentle voice was transmitted to them. "Everyone, as I previously said, if you wish to break this formation, you'll have to do it from the inside. If you wish to destroy it from the outside, although it's not impossible, it will require a significant amount of time. From what I understand, the amount of time the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool can remain open is limited. If you want to turn it into a battle of attrition and forcefully break through, your opportunities here may very well evaporate from your grasp."

This caused the group to fall into a deep silence.

In the end, Li Qingfeng sighed once again. "Since this is the case, I will have to do as Lady Qin Yi suggests."

Qin Yi smirked, and her figure within the water palace vanished. At the same time, the doors to the water palace rumbled and then gradually opened.

"Everyone, no matter how mysterious the water palace might seem, she is merely one individual. Once we enter, we should first cooperate and break the formation before we do anything else," Li Qingfeng said to the rest. At this point in time, even Li Luo nodded in agreement. No matter the final result of the Coiling Dragon Pillars, this was the most important situation at hand. It would be best to get rid of Qin Yi before anything else, or they would tarnish the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages' reputation.

Li Luo could imagine just how ugly the expressions on the elders’ faces were at the moment.

Having come to a consensus, the group no longer hesitated. Figures flashed forward and streams of light pierced through the void, directly rushing into the humongous water palace.
