# Chapter 648: Divine Palace
The crowd was also very puzzled by Yun Feiyang's behavior. Perhaps Yun Feiyang really just wanted to test Ku Mu's aura.
However, what Yun Feiyang said was not wrong. They did indeed hope there would be no battle, so they could quickly see what opportunity Xue Wuchang had mentioned.
Ku Mu snorted coldly and returned to the Flood Dragon Stone Cave. Fifteen people stood upon it—the final fifteen strongest individuals.
Xue Wuchang's gaze swept over these fifteen people, then he said, "Alright, the first half of this Snow Domain Grand Competition ends here. You will now follow me. Seven days later, return here for the final battle."
"Seven days." The crowd's eyes congealed slightly. Could it be that this trip would take a full seven days?
The fifteen experts also felt somewhat suspicious. Where exactly were they going that required seven days? However, no one would shake their heads and refuse such an opportunity. No one would be willing to give it up.
"Senior, I have offended quite a few people in this Mysterious City. If I go with you for seven days, my friends..." Lin Feng paused slightly here. Originally, he had deliberately kept some distance from Han Man and the others to avoid retaliation. But now that he had to leave for seven days, how could Lin Feng be at ease? Seven days' time could allow too many things to happen.
"Where are your friends?" Xue Wuchang asked Lin Feng.
"Over there." Lin Feng's finger pointed toward Han Man, Xiao Ya, and the others.
"Alright. If anyone dares to touch them, they will be enemies of the Divine Palace and will surely be killed. Additionally, I will send people to protect the three of them." Xue Wuchang said to Lin Feng, "Don't worry about anything. Set everything aside. For seven days, you only need to consider your own matters. Nothing else will happen."
"Alright. Lin Feng thanks Senior." Lin Feng slightly cupped his hands toward Xue Wuchang. Since Xue Wuchang had said that anyone who dared to touch Han Man and the others would be enemies of the Divine Palace and had also promised to send guards, Lin Feng believed that nothing would happen to Han Man and the other two.
"Does anyone else have anything?" Xue Wuchang glanced at the crowd again. Everyone shook their heads, indicating nothing.
"Since there is nothing, everyone, follow me." Xue Wuchang turned around, took a step, and shot into the void.
"Wait for me here in seven days."
Lin Feng shouted to Han Man and the others, then took a step and rose into the air. The others did the same, stepping forward one after another, their true essence howling beneath their feet as they headed into the distance.
The clouds in the void rolled. Xue Wuchang led the fifteen strongest of the Snow Domain Grand Competition through the air, their momentum vast and mighty as they shuttled through the clouds, walking upon them.
"Lin Feng, what do you think this opportunity will be?"
Jun Moxi, Lin Feng, and the other five from Dragon Mountain Empire walked side by side. Only Duan Wudao was not with them. Duan Wudao had not even glanced at them seriously. He walked alone, always exuding an aura of self-centeredness, as if he were the master of this world and everyone should revolve around him and obey him.
"Hard to say." Lin Feng slightly shook his head. This time, it probably wouldn't be like the first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, where they had to compete and rely on luck. From Xue Wuchang's words, his first jade key seemed unusual. Moreover, each jade key might bring a different opportunity. How could Lin Feng guess what this so-called opportunity would be?
"The first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition already had a competition for techniques. In the temple, there were all powerful divine abilities and techniques. So this opportunity might not be about techniques or martial skills. Since it's not about techniques or martial skills, it might be an opportunity for us to comprehend techniques, martial skills, or to understand cultivation realms."
Jun Moxi speculated. Xue Wuchang had said that after this adventure, they would fight again, and everyone had to fight. Could this opportunity really change the battle's pattern?
After all, this was only seven days. If they relied on time to cultivate and improve, that was obviously impossible. So what was this opportunity based on that could change the strength of these geniuses and thus alter the entire battle's pattern?
Now, no one knew. Lin Feng and Jun Moxi didn't know, and the others didn't know either.
After about two hours, Xue Wuchang's speed finally slowed down. Ahead, a mysterious aura rolled endlessly—a place of illusion.
"We're here."
Xue Wuchang said, stopping his steps in the void. The crowd also stopped, but their eyes were all fixed on Xue Wuchang's figure ahead.
We're here?
Right now, there was nothing in front of them except rolling clouds and mist. Where had they arrived?
Could the opportunity be here?
Just then, a shocking scene appeared. The clouds and mist in front of them suddenly rolled violently. From the void, a beam of light shone upon them, making their hearts tremble violently.
Before them, a void gate slowly opened from both sides, spreading open amidst the layers of clouds and mist.
"This is..."
The crowd's hearts trembled violently. It was too miraculous—a void gate. Just now, there had only been rolling clouds and mist here. But now, the void gate opened, revealing a different world inside, as if this were another realm.
"Follow me."
Xue Wuchang stepped into the void gate. The crowd also trembled, stepping forward and entering the void gate. Instantly, they felt a rich surge of heaven and earth origin energy rushing toward them, making their breathing much smoother.
"So refreshing. The heaven and earth origin energy here is so rich."
Lin Feng's eyes were shocked. He turned around and saw the void gate slowly closing. They had indeed arrived in another space. Beneath their feet, clouds rolled, and heaven and earth origin energy surged endlessly.
This scene felt like the celestial realm Lin Feng had seen in TV dramas.
And the buildings floating on the clouds before him were immortal palaces.
"What you see before you is the Divine Palace."
Xue Wuchang spoke, making the crowd's eyes congeal again. The Divine Palace. This vast and mysterious place was actually the Divine Palace.
The rolling clouds were solid ground. The buildings, and the people in the distance heading this way, all told them that this magical world was just one faction.
"The power of martial arts truly has no limits." Lin Feng's heart was quite unsettled. Being able to establish such a world was something he had never imagined. What realm would allow one to achieve this step?
"Snow Protector."
In the distance, a young man in thin armor stepped toward them, slightly nodding at Xue Wuchang, addressing him as Protector.
This young man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. The aura emanating from his entire body was unfathomable, no weaker than Yu Mo. He was also a genius at the level of the Eight Great Geniuses. The thin armor he wore shimmered with a faint silver light, extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
"Hao Peng, I'll leave the people to you from now on." Xue Wuchang said to this young man. The young man called Hao Peng nodded slightly and said, "In seven days, I will bring them back."
"Good." Xue Wuchang nodded, then said to the crowd, "All of you, follow him. Hao Peng will take you to where you need to go."
Everyone's gaze fell on Hao Peng. Hao Peng also looked them over. His gaze held no respect, only calmness, and even carried a hint of arrogance.
"So these are the strongest geniuses of the Snow Domain. Not impressive at all." Hao Peng thought to himself, though he would never say such words aloud.
Hao Peng's gaze was not very likable because his eyes lingered especially long on the three beautiful women—Ling Xiaoxiao, Qing Mengxin, and Tang Youyou—with a hint of strangeness in his eyes. His gaze made Tang Youyou's brow slightly furrow, as if somewhat displeased, but she said nothing.
"Follow me."
Hao Peng said to the crowd, then took a step forward. Although the crowd was suspicious, they still followed closely behind him.
Looking at the palaces passing before their eyes, the crowd sighed inwardly—this was truly a place to live. The heaven and earth origin energy was extremely rich, and the spacing was vast, all independent palaces, like a dreamy celestial realm.
If they had been cultivating in such a place from the beginning, who knew what their cultivation levels would be now.
The stronger the country and sect, the stronger its geniuses. It wasn't just about talent; it was also about conditions!
"Xue Wuchang is a Protector of my Divine Palace, but his authority is limited. He can only bring you into the Divine Palace. Many places, he cannot go. That's why I need to take you there." Hao Peng said to the crowd. The crowd was surprised. With Xue Wuchang's strength, he was only a Protector, and he couldn't even enter many places in the Divine Palace. How vast the Divine Palace must be.
But Hao Peng's way of speaking was indeed not very likable—belittling others to elevate his own status!
