“High-ranking starfield.” Luo Puti repeated, a creased line appeared across her forehead. If Chen Xiaobei had not brought her to Northern Wilderness that one time, she would not have believed that there were living creatures outside of earth.

Chen Xiaobei’s observation was spot on. There were quite a lot of similarities between Jingjue Kingdom and Atlantis.

“Keep yourself together. The closer we get, the closer we are to the truth. You’ll be able to get your answers once we find the 12 priests.” Chen Xiaobei said.

“Do you know how you’re going to handle them?” Luo Puti asked, concerned. “The Thousand Spirit Formation was already so scary, then that would mean the 12 priests outmatch demigods, right?”

“If that’s the case, I don’t know how I’m going to handle them,” Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “But since we’re here already, we might as well try and get some answers! If anything happens, we always have the option of escaping!”

“Do we?” Luo Puti raised an eyebrow, wondering how Chen Xiaobei was planning to get away from 12 powerful priests!

“Here, take this!” Chen Xiaobei handed a Returning Bracelet to her and said. “I will be in the front. If things go south, use this!”

“No way! How can I let you do that on your own? If the enemy attacks, you’ll be dead! I want to be right next to you! If we die, we’ll die together!”

“Silly wife!” Chen Xiaobei laughed. “You have the Qinglian Bellyband with you, remember? Unless it was a deity who attacks you, no one can kill you! I have a holy protection on me as well. It can help block one deadly attack! Then with the Returning Bracelet activated, we have a chance to escape!”

“Really?” Luo Puti exhaled. “That’s great! Even if we can’t get any answers out of them, at least we’d still be alive! Hurry! Let’s go!”

The both of them continued to explore the place.

After a while, they finally found the entrance into the palace. The whole place was adorned with brilliant pearls, jewels, gold and jades! Every corner and everything in the room was an embodiment of brilliant opulence!

There was a certain antiquity about each one of them; they appeared to have existed since the reign of the Queen of Jingjue, who was evidently, extremely extravagant, stockpiling the treasures from the 35 neighbouring countries for herself!

But these relics were sparkling clean. It appeared that the next tenants were taking great care of them!

In other words, the Queen of Jingjue was replaced by someone else as the owner of this palace.

All the truly remote and valuable resources would already have been pocketed by the new owners. Whatever that was in the treasuries must have had been emptied out by now.

Chen Xiaobei found this a little disappointing.

But that was not why they came here. They had come to search for Luo Puti’s parents, not treasures! Anyways for the record, Chen Xiaobei had already gotten hold of the Thousand Spirit Formation! We should always be contented with what we have!

“Hang on!” After they walked through the door, Chen Xiaobei signalled for Luo Puti to stay still. They stood at the door.

“Is there anyone here?” Chen Xiaobei said politely. “We are not here to cause any affront; we have come here to ask some questions about a very important matter! Once we get our answers, we’ll leave immediately and we’ll never ever set foot in this place ever again!”

Luo Puti chewed her lips and wrung her hands.

“Huh? Someone actually passed through the Thousand Spirit that Seventh Elder setup! Amazing! It’s almost unbelievable!”

A deep, rounded voice came from inside. It sounded surprised and more authoritative than anything.

This must be someone important!

“What? Someone passed through my Thousand Spirit Formation? Huh, I want to see who is it that was so powerful!” Another slightly younger voice replied.

“We want to see too! An earthling breaking the Thousand Spirit Formation! This is very unusual!” A few other voices said.

From their conversation, it was obvious that to them that earthlings were weak. Finding out that a human from earth broke through the Thousand Spirit Formation naturally piqued their interest and curiosity.

“Let’s go and check it out!” A hoarse, raspy voice said suddenly.

“My god! Even the great priests are shocked! Hurry! Hurry! Everyone! Let’s not make the great priests wait!”

All the other voices were suddenly nervous.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A strong wind blew inside the hall.

Each time, a man in a black robe would appear in the temple.

There was a total of 11 men; among them were white-haired elderlies and middle-aged men in magnificent black robes. From their resplendent posture, it was obvious that they all held very high positions.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

The sound of a walking stick striking the ground at a steady pace came from behind.

It was an old man with long white heart and beard till it reached his chest, looking like a Mutheselah.

“Great priest! Great priest!”

The eleven men bowed, hands cupping into fists.

“Be seated! All of you, sit!”

The great priest waved his hand, as he settled down in the middle seat.

Only four of the men who were all white-haired elderlies, sat on each side of the great priest. The other seven men remained standing.

The Great priest’s gaze fell on Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti as he exclaimed, “Wow! Who knew! It’s two youngsters!”

The other eleven were just as surprised that two human beings in their twenties broke through the Thousand Spirit Formation!

“Greetings Great priest! Greeting fellow priests!”

Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti bowed politely to the eleven priests.

They were trespassers to someone else’s place after all. Humility and manners were expected.

The Great priest turned to the middle-aged man standing on the side and said, “Seventh priest can’t wait any longer, can you? Go ahead and ask.”

“Yes!” Seventh priest stepped out and approached the two. “How did you break the Thousand Spirit Formation that I personally placed?”

“I have two Spiritual Items that helped subdue the Thousand Spirit Formation. That was how we were able to break it!” Chen Xiaobei answered honestly.

12 of the priests nodded.

One should never lie to intelligent men. These 12 priests were wise men. Lying to them would not be a good idea.

“Be specific! What kind of Spiritual Item? How was it done?” Seventh priest pressed on.

Chen Xiaobei answered, “If I may be so bold, could we have a trade off? You ask a question, and I ask a question. We’ll give each other honest answers. We can help each other!”
