Chapter 4222: The Ferry of Tribulations Appears Again
Lin Moyu looked at Fatty. "How do you know all this?"
Fatty shook her head. "I don't know. I've just always known it since I became conscious." Despite acknowledging Lin Moyu as master, she kept her assertive, self assured tone.
Lin Moyu didn't mind, as long as she obeyed. He asked, "That side gate guardian can you beat it?"
Fatty thought for a moment. "Shouldn't be a problem."
"Let's go check the side gate first. Do you know the way?" Lin Moyu said.
Fatty pointed, "That way."
Lin Moyu decided to visit the side gate first. According to Fatty, the Kunlun Emperor escaped through it, with the help of some treasure. Although countless years had passed, time seemed to lose meaning inside the Heavenly Void Palace, and all traces and marks remained unchanged. By going there, Lin Moyu could still observe the traces and perhaps deduce what happened in the distant past.
He was curious about what treasure the Kunlun Emperor found that allowed him to escape. While there was no danger for Lin Moyu himself inside the palace, it was indeed deadly for other Eternals, even for a half step Chaos cultivator like Kunlun Emperor. This wasn't arrogance it was fact.
As for the butler, who had visited many times, Lin Moyu easily guessed that his real goal was the heart of the Heavenly Void Palace, perhaps to control the palace or use it for some other scheme. Lin Moyu ignored him for now, planning to settle the score after visiting the palace center. The butler, content to hide in the shadows and play tricks, wasn't worth taking too seriously.
They crossed the lake and entered a narrow path. Fatty said that at the end of the path was the side gate. She didn't know which treasure Kunlun Emperor got there.
Lin Moyu soon reached the path's end. Before him was a small palace, not very large nor particularly ornate, but exquisitely built constructed entirely from innate primordial treasure materials. While such a structure outside would be a supreme treasure, inside the Heavenly Void Palace, even the paving stones were of the same stuff, so it was unremarkable.
Looking at the palace, Lin Moyu felt a sense of déjà vu.
He asked, "Is this the side gate?"
"More or less. The side gate's behind this palace, and the guardian is behind it too," Fatty replied.
"What's this palace for?" Lin Moyu asked again.
Fatty shook her head. "I don't know. I've never been inside."
Lin Moyu found it strange. "You say you were born with all this knowledge, yet you don't know what this building is for?"
Fatty replied, "That's just how it is. I know most paths in the Heavenly Void Palace, but as for every room or building, I really don't know their functions."
Lin Moyu thought her memory was clearly artificially implanted, and the only one who could have done so was her creator the master of the Heavenly Void Palace. But why implant memories like this? She seemed to have an internal map but not knowledge of each room's purpose.
Lin Moyu proceeded into the palace, trusting Fatty wouldn't deceive him. The interior wasn't large just ten meters deep and wide, with no expansion by space Dao power.
Inside was a mess, like it had been through a fight; items were scattered everywhere pens, papers, decorations, overturned tables and chairs. That sense of familiarity grew stronger in Lin Moyu's heart.
He realized the palace was more like a storeroom, filled with unimportant things. Every scattered piece was a treasure, gleaming with spiritual radiance but Lin Moyu didn't bother picking them up, as another suspicion was growing inside him.
The current situation was matching up with a certain memory he just needed to confirm it. At the back of the palace, he stopped suddenly. There was a platform, which must have once held something now it was gone, leaving just a mark. The mark was long and narrow, letting him guesstimate the shape of the missing item.
There was also lingering, familiar, and powerful energy suffusing the area.
Lin Moyu's heart surged he figured out what Kunlun Emperor had acquired here.
Exiting the palace, he encountered another short passageway, only ten meters long, leading to a door. This door had a gap on the left, clearly smashed open by someone. Standing nearby was a puppet radiating dazzling golden light, which slowly turned its head toward Lin Moyu, exuding a terrifying aura.
This was no ordinary puppet its whole body was forged of innate primordial treasure material, refined to perfect solidity. Lin Moyu knew that even his World Ending Palm wouldn't hurt it. It radiated an aura beyond Eternity, with both immense defense and attack power no wonder the Kunlun Emperor hadn't been able to beat it, having to crash through the wall to escape, probably using the treasure obtained inside.
Lin Moyu said, "She's yours," to Fatty.
Fatty agreed cheerily, shooting from his hand and morphing mid air into a giant, charging at the puppet guardian. The puppet shot forward like lightning, the two colliding fiercely in a narrow corridor. Multiple tiers of light sprang up around them, absorbing all the shockwaves; the Heavenly Void Palace itself was totally unaffected. The battle was a stalemate, neither side able to secure victory for the moment.
With Fatty keeping the guardian busy, Lin Moyu strolled over to the side gate, checking the hole smashed in it. The opening's shape confirmed his guess: the Kunlun Emperor must have used the Ferry of Tribulations he found in the palace to crash through the door and escape.
"But if that's the case, others shouldn't have known he acquired the Ferry," Lin Moyu mused. "And the legend places the Ferry appearing long before the Kunlun Emperor how does that make sense?"
Solving one mystery just brought him a new one.
At that moment, Lin Moyu glanced up and, through the gap, spotted a black speck zipping along the Daos, rapidly approaching the Five Generations' Heavenly Void Palace.
"The Ferry of Tribulations!" Lin Moyu cried quietly. The very Ferry he had been seeking was now flying straight for the palace, soon coming to hover overhead before slowly descending, right to the center of the palace.
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu called to Fatty, "Let's go!"
