Chapter 1072: 772 I’m blind, I didn’t see anything

The Divine Palace was exceedingly ancient, exuding an aura that seemed to coexist with Heaven and Earth, and its walls were engraved with many profound and mysterious patterns.

After careful examination, Jiang Chen realized that these patterns did not belong to the Prehistoric World but narrated stories from the Chaos Era.

"Pangu Palace!"

Subconsciously, Jiang Chen’s heart trembled, thinking he had seen the legendary supreme divine object, the Pangu Palace.

Pangu Palace, the supreme divine object of the Prehistoric World, the Witch Clan’s treasured totem, was also the birthplace of the Witch Clan, with all the original members of the Clan having emerged from within the Pangu Palace.

Furthermore, the origins of Pangu Palace were even more astonishingly grand. Legend had it that it was transformed from the head of Pangu Great God, the most unyielding object in the world and the most mystical place. Even the Zixiao Palace of the Taoist Ancestors could not compare with Pangu Palace.

Within the Prehistoric World, there were countless legends about Pangu Palace because it was too mysterious. People only knew that Pangu Palace was powerful and mysterious, but no one knew its specific functions.

The unknown was always the most terrifying. Because Pangu Palace was so enigmatic, its strength and significance continued to grow in the minds of the people.

"It’s not Pangu Palace!"

Regaining his composure, Jiang Chen immediately realized that the grand hall before him was not Pangu Palace, but probably just a replica.

If the hall before him had been the real Pangu Palace, Jiang Chen would have surely sensed it. His cultivation of the Way of Pangu was not in vain; any relic of Pangu that appeared before him would certainly be perceived by him.

Now, seeing this grand hall without any reaction in his heart, it was clear this was a fake. But even if it was a fake, it must have some connection with the real thing, or else it wouldn’t have shaken Jiang Chen’s spirit.

"It is said that Pangu Palace possesses the ability to isolate the Heavenly Dao, making it the most secret place in the world. Whatever is discussed inside cannot be known by outsiders, even if the Heavenly Dao itself takes action, it cannot discern the situation within."

Looking at the Pangu Palace (false) before him, Jiang Chen pondered deeply.

In the Ancient Era, the scheming of the Witch Clan often caught the Heavenly Dao by surprise. It wasn’t that the Witch Clan was too clever, even the calculations of the Heavenly Dao were unknowable to it, mainly because the Twelve Ancestral Witches held their secret meetings within the Pangu Palace.

The Heavenly Dao had no idea how the Ancestral Witches deliberated, so how could it foresee their next move?

The ultimate outcome of the Great Witch War led to the complete shattering of the Chaos World, which was definitely beyond the expectations of the Heavenly Dao. The reason for all this might have something to do with the Heavenly Dao’s lack of understanding of the Witch Clan.

"If Pangu Palace can shield itself from the Heavenly Dao, perhaps this replica, although inferior, might still deceive the Saints. If so, whatever happens inside this hall is probably unbeknownst to the Saints too."

As thoughts dawned on him, a flicker passed through Jiang Chen’s eyes.

It seemed to him that with such a major incident occurring at Changyang Mountain, the Saints who were responsible for maintaining Heaven and Earth had not noticed anything amiss, which might be related to this grand hall before him.

Moreover, the mystery within the hall suggests that there might be more than just the sealing of Xing Tian. Inside, it was very likely that there were schemes of Mother Earth.

If it were any ordinary time, realizing these things, Jiang Chen would definitely walk away. Knowing too much about others’ secrets, whether intentional or not, always leads to great trouble in the end.

Jiang Chen was the kind of person who typically stayed out of matters that didn’t concern him. He hadn’t even resolved the troubles of the Human Race, so why would he willingly plunge into the vortex of the Witch Clan’s affairs?

Unfortunately, this time he needed a favor from someone, and even if he knew trouble awaited him, he could not refuse to enter. Besides, he had made it this far, already revealing a part of his hand; leaving without gaining anything would mean a significant loss.

Standing still and thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen suddenly called out, "Junior, a descendant of the Flame Emperor, Jiang Chen, has come to pay respects to the venerable Xing Tian."

Jiang Chen felt that he should leave the choice to Xing Tian. If there was indeed anything in the great hall that should not be seen, Xing Tian would certainly not allow him to enter. Conversely, if there was nothing objectionable within the hall, Xing Tian naturally wouldn’t deny him entry.

"Come in!"

Contrary to Jiang Chen’s expectations, his voice had barely faded when he heard Xing Tian’s voice from inside the hall, inviting him to enter.

This startled Jiang Chen, and he wondered if he had overthought the situation.

"Thank you, venerable one!" With bewilderment, Jiang Chen stepped forward, heading toward the grand hall.

Initially, Xing Tian didn’t want to allow Jiang Chen inside. After all, Mother Earth had made many schemes at this place, and it was certainly not just to assist in his cultivation. This involved Mother Earth’s grand plan and was related to the nine fallen Ancestral Witches.

However, after seeing Jiang Chen display the ultimate form of the Divine Ability of strength, Xing Tian’s thoughts shifted; he was certain he had to meet Jiang Chen.

Being able to comprehend the Divine Ability to its ultimate extent indicated that Jiang Chen was favored by Pangu Great God. And such a person, regardless of their origin, was a friend of the Witch Clan.

Pangu Great God was the faith of the Witch Clan. For Pangu Great God, they wouldn’t hesitate to lay down their lives, feeling honored, just like how Jiang Chen was an extreme devotee in a previous life, utterly fervent.

In such a case, they would never give someone who had received Pangu Great God’s favor a hard time, no matter what. It was only because Xing Tian’s status was so high that if any common witch saw Jiang Chen, they would most certainly treat him as an honored guest, with utmost respect.
