Dashing Student Chapter 958: Water Moon Palace

In front of the Mirror Flower Platform, Chen Nan’s performance left everyone in shock.

Yet he himself appeared remarkably composed, standing there waiting for Tang Zhirou, without a trace of worry in his eyes.

It was as if he knew Tang Zhirou would definitely make it through the Illusion Realm.

"Master Chen, aren’t you worried at all about Master Tang?" Xuan Hui asked curiously.

Chen Nan smiled faintly and slowly said, "Of course not, she is my junior sister, how could mere illusions trap her?"

"But even the strongest might fall in the illusions."

"Then let’s make a wager." Chen Nan chuckled, "I bet my junior sister will definitely break through the illusion."

"Though I believe in Master Tang, I am willing to bet," Xuan Hui bowed his head and said.

"Alright, if my junior sister breaks through the illusion, you won’t mention having me succeed you as the Buddha Son. Otherwise, I will grant you one request, how about that?"

"Very fair, I shall wait for the outcome," Xuan Hui turned around and quietly watched Tang Zhirou.

After two whole hours had passed, Tang Zhirou trembled and then slowly opened her eyes.

"Did I win?"

She was somewhat incredulous herself, only she knew how challenging it was to deal with an exact replica of herself.

Looking around, she saw that she had indeed returned to reality and a look of ecstatic joy appeared on her face.

Quickly, Tang Zhirou realized her cultivation had broken through the current calm and smoothly entered the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

"I’m about to break through!"

She hurried to Chen Nan’s side, sat down, and began cultivating. The surrounding nature’s spiritual energy became lively and was absorbed into her body.

Although the situation was far less intense than when Chen Nan broke through, it still made the breath of the watching cultivators grow heavier.

They had witnessed the fastest breakthrough of an illusion in history and then watched Tang Zhirou directly advance after experiencing the illusion.

This gave them an inexplicable confidence, and some hesitant cultivators stepped up to the Mirror Flower Platform and entered the Illusion Realm.

Regrettably, after entering the Illusion Realm, there was no more activity from them, and they hadn’t emerged for a long time.

Some were even defeated by their own illusions and perished.

"Alas, let’s move on, these were their own choices."

Chen Nan sighed, for the path of cultivation is never smooth sailing.

The three of them left the Mirror Flower Platform and rushed towards the Water Moon Palace with all their might.

After five days, they finally arrived at the most mysterious Water Moon Palace.

A placid pond lay flat on the ground, looking like a mirror, reflecting the moon and stars in the sky, glistening brilliantly.

Strangely, there were no signs of anyone around, nor was there any so-called Moon Palace, and the pond was crystal clear, with many "Moonlight Stones" at the bottom.

These decorative stones emitted a fluorescent glow under the moonlight, making the pond even brighter.

"Monk, is this the Water Moon Palace? But there’s clearly nothing here."

Chen Nan looked around before speaking.

Beside him, Tang Zhirou was equally curious. The name Water Moon Palace sounded incredibly mysterious, and she was eager to see it for herself.

Xuan Hui clasped his hands together and slowly said, "Amitabha, the Water Moon Palace requires a special method to enter. It has been created with immense mana to form a separate space."

"When the moon is reflected on the pond, invert yourself into the pond, and the entrance will appear."

This peculiar method of entry made Chen Nan raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Just then, it was nighttime, and the moon was perfectly reflected on the pond’s calm surface. Chen Nan inverted himself and slowly walked into the water with his hands.

The water gradually submerged his eyes, nose, and mouth, and when his entire head was submerged, he suddenly felt as though he had passed through a barrier.

The water that had submerged his head disappeared, and yet his body was in the water, as if heaven and earth had flipped over, returning his feet to their proper position beneath his head.

This feeling was quite mystical, making him very curious about how it was achieved.

And the bizarre entry method, how did the first person to enter the Water Moon Palace discover it?

Setting aside the thoughts in his mind, Chen Nan found himself in a pond, seemingly mirroring the pond outside.

He walked onto the shore, his Heaven-Burning Flame surged out from within his body and quickly disappeared, drying his previously soaked clothes.

Not far ahead, a magnificent grand hall sprawled across the plains like a giant beast, and numerous cultivators were presently coming and going from it.

The grand hall was constructed very magnificently, reminiscent of a clan’s ancestral hall.

Xuan Hui and Tang Zhirou had also entered the Water Moon Palace and found it equally marvelous.

"In front is the Water Moon Palace. Yet it seems now the outside grand array has been broken," Xuan Hui looked ahead and said slowly.

Tang Zhirou slapped her thigh, expressing her regret, "Oops, we’re really late. If we’d come a bit earlier, we might’ve caught up. Now the treasures are probably taken."

"Not necessarily, let’s go see."

Chen Nan stepped towards the grand hall, for even if the array had been breached and cultivators had already entered, there might be leftover Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

After all, his Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace was a relic left behind before.

The three quickly entered the grand hall. Only from the inside could one truly grasp its immense size; the pillars at the entrance alone spanned ten lengths.

Not to mention the doors that seemed made for giants.

The space within the grand hall appeared compressed, much larger than what was seen from the outside, with a configuration that seemed to link one room to another.

Upon entering, their eyes were immediately drawn to eight golden pillars supporting the dome; each required three people to embrace.

These golden pillars were adorned with carved giant dragons, coiling around them, each in unique postures with fierce expressions, their dragon heads equally majestic, seemingly scrutinizing everyone entering the hall.

Within the hall, several cultivators were rummaging frantically, desperate to strip even the floor bare to take away with them.

Chen Nan and his companions couldn’t help but sneer at this sight, seeing how such a majestic hall was marred by greedy individuals, all for items of no use to cultivators.

Yet some remained unwilling to give up, fixating on the dragon sculptures’ eyes, which seemed to be Luminous Pearls, treasures countless in the mortal world, worthless to cultivators.

Despite this, they gouged out those Luminous Pearls one by one, crippling the dignity of the dragon sculptures.

"It’s sheer madness."

Tang Zhirou watched those greedy cultivators and couldn’t help but scoff.

The group decided to take a detour and explore another room, but as they moved to one spot, Chen Nan stopped.

For the tiles beneath have been pried up, revealing several blood-red patterns!
