CHAPTER 2026: CHAPTER 2026: WANT TO KNEEL

Mahakaya looked at the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform, feeling utterly shocked in his heart.

Could it be that the Buddha had been to the Feather Spirit Palace and seen the likes of the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform and the Seven Treasures Miao Tree, which is why the Buddha Domain imitated these Magic Artifacts?

However, in the legends of the Nine Realms, only the Lord of Feather Realm had ventured deep into the Feather Spirit Palace; no one else had ever entered. So, did the Buddha come here or not?

If the Buddha really had come here, then why would he hide this information? Why did he not let others know he had been here?

If the Buddha did not come here, then the problem is even more severe.

How did the Buddha Domain’s two Divine Artifacts come to be?

It couldn’t just be a coincidence that the Buddha Domain happened to have two Divine Artifacts similar to those within the Feather Spirit Palace.

Moreover, the most powerful Divine Artifacts in the Nine Realms are all traced back to prototypes here, which is the most serious issue.

If these people hadn’t been to the Feather Spirit Palace, then how were these Magic Artifacts made and disseminated?

Mahakaya suddenly looked at Su Yang and whispered, "Su Alliance Leader, do you... do you think it’s possible that someone once left the Feather Spirit Palace?"

"Hmm?" Su Yang was taken aback, not understanding what Mahakaya meant.

"After the Feather Spirit Palace descended, there were still strong individuals who didn’t die and left the palace." Mahakaya whispered, "He used these Magic Artifacts as prototypes to create those powerful Divine Artifacts, which is the source of the Divine Artifacts in the Nine Realms. Do you think this is possible?"

Su Yang’s heart was stirred; indeed, it’s quite possible.

"That’s not right..." Su Yang suddenly recalled something and asked, "When did those Divine Artifacts appear in the Nine Realms? Was it before the Feather Spirit Palace appeared or after?"

This question stumped Mahakaya. He thought for a while and said, "It should have been before the Feather Spirit Palace appeared..."

Su Yang was puzzled, "Before the Feather Spirit Palace appeared? Then... that seems impossible. These Magic Artifacts appeared before the Feather Spirit Palace reached the Nine Realms, so there should be no relation between them and the Divine Artifacts in the Feather Spirit Palace!"

"This..." Mahakaya looked at the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform, which bore such resemblance, it was impossible to claim there was no connection.

Though Su Yang said this, he actually felt that what he said was improbable.

If it was merely a single Magic Artifact that resembled, people could accept it as a coincidence. But so many Magic Artifacts are so similar, claiming no relation would be hard for anyone to believe.

Everyone felt equally shocked. At this moment, they were even more eager to uncover the secrets within the Feather Spirit Palace. The connection between the Feather Spirit Palace and the Nine Realms was indeed peculiar.

Su Yang gazed at this small palace for a while longer but decided not to focus on it and continued to lead the group forward.

Along the way, they encountered many more powerful Magic Artifacts, each one leaving them in extreme awe.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the Feather Spirit Palace Main Hall.

Upon reaching this place, Su Yang and his companions discovered a few bodies on the ground.

Among them, the majority belonged to the Feather Clan, and next were a few from the Heavenly Realm.

Su Yang counted carefully and found that most of Ye Xingjun and Wei Qing’s subordinates were dead.

The only troubling thing was that there were no bodies of Ye Xingjun and Wei Qing, which worried Su Yang. Could it be that these two were still alive?

Standing there, the three Crystal Skulls appeared much more well-behaved than before.

According to what the Great City Lord said, earlier someone in this main hall had been watching them.

But ever since Su Yang summoned the Illusion, this person had been watching Su Yang intently.

Though now they weren’t being watched, the three of them still remained respectful. They didn’t even know what was inside the main hall, but they instinctively feared the presence within.

This situation also surprised Su Yang.

Previously, these three Crystal Skulls showed no fear in front of those small palaces. They stood outside the small palaces and spoke to Su Yang normally. Although there were also people watching them from within the small palaces, they didn’t mind one bit.

But upon reaching the main hall, they became much more submissive. This indicates that the three Crystal Skulls were probably not ordinary individuals in life.

Fearing the presence in the main hall was normal; after all, it’s the main hall. Whoever was inside was probably the master of the Feather Spirit Palace. Even if not, they’d at least be someone of that level, far beyond what the Crystal Skulls could compare.

And the fact that they showed no fear towards the small palaces outside subtly indicates that these three Crystal Skulls, in life, were probably no less powerful than those within the small palaces!

Of course, this is just Su Yang’s conjecture. The true identity and status of these three Crystal Skulls in life aren’t things Su Yang could guess.

"So, now that you’ve reached here, do you feel anything special?" Su Yang asked.

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances and shook their heads, with the Great City Lord whispering, "Well, I... I just feel uneasy all over..."

"Uneasy? What kind of uneasy?" Su Yang asked, "Fear?"

"Uh, a little." The Great City Lord hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and whispered, "More so, I want to kneel!"

"Huh?" Su Yang widened his eyes at the Great City Lord. These three guys, at the doorstep of the main hall, actually felt like kneeling? What did that mean?

"Kneeling out of fear?" Su Yang asked.

"No," the Great City Lord shook his head. "It’s just... just a form of respect... like seeing a king, feeling compelled to kneel!"

Su Yang looked up towards the main hall. Indeed, he could imagine such a thing.

The Feather Spirit Palace is the lord of countless worlds. The master of the Feather Spirit Palace is also the king of those worlds!

If these three Crystal Skulls had indeed been to the Feather Spirit Palace in life, they’d definitely have paid their respects to its master. It’s possible their own world was ruled by it, and the master was their king. Wanting to kneel and pay respect to their king here is indeed normal!

"Interesting," Su Yang whispered, "It seems the master of the Feather Spirit Palace is still inside."

"Is that so?" Qi Zhishan came closer, frowned, and said, "If the master of the Feather Spirit Palace is inside, should we still go in? Once inside, who knows what consequences we’ll face!"

"We must go in, but I should be the one to mainly go." Su Yang whispered, "You stay outside and make sure no one interrupts me!"
