The majestic and well-preserved palace presented itself before them!
It was resplendent with gold and jade, its tiles layered upon one another, with two fearsome dragons adorning the very top.
In the center stood a long, jade-colored staircase, comprising ninety-nine steps.
Looking down from above, they saw the words "Dragon Palace" written in large, golden characters on the grand gate.
Even through the screen, everyone could feel an ancient aura wash over them!
In the livestream chat, after a period of silence.
Countless bullet comments suddenly erupted like a pack of wolves, instantly flooding the entire chat.
"Brothers, is this the Dragon Palace?"
"The Dragon Palace from myths and legends??"
"Taibai Mountain actually has this thing?"
"Oh my god, does that mean this will be Dai Dai's home from now on?"
"This is the most beautiful and spectacular place I've ever seen."
...
On-site.
Ao Yuan paid no mind to the thoughts of others. As if nothing had happened, he calmly swam towards the Dragon Palace.
Behind him, Ao Guang, Dai Xiaomei, and Mozi were so shocked they didn't know what to say.
Especially Ao Guang, who had lived at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake for hundreds of years.
When had the Heavenly Lake ever had such a magnificent Dragon Palace!
It had absolutely no idea.
As Ao Yuan's figure gradually moved away, they silently exchanged glances, suppressed the shock in their hearts, and followed Ao Yuan.
As they got closer and closer to the Dragon Palace, Dai Xiaomei, Mozi, and Ao Guang became even more awestruck.
The Dragon Palace was simply too beautiful.
So beautiful that they couldn't come up with a perfect adjective to describe the scene they were witnessing.
The viewers in the livestream chat felt the same way.
Looking at the Dragon Palace through the phone camera, their hearts pounded relentlessly.
Late at night, everyone had lost all sleepiness, their eyes wide open, carefully observing the layout within the Dragon Palace.
And at this moment.
Ao Yuan, as the owner of the Dragon Palace, had led them inside.
Upon entering the Dragon Palace, everyone was even more surprised.
There was no water vapor inside the Dragon Palace, as if the water had been blocked outside.
Yet, they could clearly feel the flow of water; it was a very peculiar sensation.
While everyone was curious, Ao Yuan, like them, was carefully examining the Dragon Palace.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had looked at the Dragon Palace so closely.
After all, after arranging the Dragon Palace, Ao Yuan had only done some simple decoration.
He had merely placed items he had obtained from the system but didn't need into the Dragon Palace.
As he examined it more closely, Ao Yuan became increasingly satisfied.
It truly lived up to being something unlocked through progression!
No matter from what aspect, Ao Yuan could not find anything to be dissatisfied with.
Moreover...
At this time, the system was also explaining some of the Dragon Palace's abilities to him.
Simply put, the Dragon Palace could be considered a defensive artifact with extremely powerful capabilities.
No matter how severe the impact received within the Dragon Palace, as long as a single tile remained, it would self-repair.
In addition to this, it possessed numerous other abilities.
However, Ao Yuan did not pay much attention to these.
What attracted Ao Yuan the most was that within a hundred-mile radius of the Dragon Palace, the spiritual energy would be significantly enhanced.
The closer one was to the Dragon Palace, the greater the increase in spiritual energy.
This was the most appealing aspect for Ao Yuan.
Although he could gain evolution points by devouring and thus improve his cultivation realm,
why would he ever refuse more spiritual energy?
Of course, the most crucial point was that this was an era of spiritual energy resurgence.
And as a dragon, how could Ao Yuan be without his shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
If the vast Dragon Palace were only occupied by himself, wouldn't it be too desolate?
"Wow!"
"What's going on? Why do I feel like my body is suddenly filled with energy after coming in?"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to explode! Ow!"
Not long after Ao Yuan led Dai Xiaomei, Mozi, and Ao Guang into the Dragon Palace.
Mozi suddenly cried out. Her face was flushed, her eyebrows furrowed, and it was clear she was enduring intense pain.
"Mozi, what's wrong?" Dai Xiaomei asked with concern.
"What happened to our wife Mozi?"
"What's going on? Why did she suddenly become like this?"
"My god, is the old woman going to be alright?"
...
Seeing Mozi's change, the numerous viewers snapped back to attention and became anxious.
Who knew that in the next second.
Boom!
A strange fluctuation emanated from Mozi's body.
Following that, Mozi's complexion slowly returned to normal.
"What... what's happening?"
"Mozi, old woman, you're not messing around, are you?"
"I don't think she's messing around... Mozi's pain earlier didn't seem fake."
"Then what is it? Constipation? If it were constipation, Mozi would have already gone."
"No, quick, cover your mouths!"
Inside the Dragon Palace, Ao Yuan seemed to understand the doubts of the many netizens.
He looked at Mozi, a trace of a smile appearing on his draconic face, and said, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations? Congratulations on what?"
Dai Xiaomei and Mozi exchanged glances, completely unaware of the reason for the celebration.
"You've advanced."
Ao Yuan smiled and explained, "Originally, under the spiritual energy resurgence, although your physique had improved, you were still within the scope of ordinary humans."
"But this advancement signifies that you are taking a step forward!"
"What do you mean?"
Mozi was a bit bewildered.
"Simply put, your strength has increased."
Ao Guang, standing nearby, grumbled with envy and jealousy.
He had felt the change in spiritual energy upon entering the Dragon Palace, but he never expected that he wouldn't be the first to break through.
Mozi!
He knew very well that she was just an ordinary, extremely ordinary mortal.
Truly worthy of being a human with a congenital spirit!
"Let me try."
After Ao Guang's explanation, Mozi immediately stretched. Upon realizing that her strength had indeed increased as he said,
her face instantly lit up with joy.
"I... I've gotten stronger!"
Mozi felt the power within her. After a moment of confusion, she looked at Dai Xiaomei with a provocative gaze.
She made a starting gesture and raised an eyebrow, "Dai Xiaomei? Wanna spar?"
"Let's see who's stronger now."
Mozi clearly remembered the first time she was utterly defeated by Dai Xiaomei.
Now that she sensed her strength had increased, she couldn't wait to get her revenge.
"You want to spar with me?" Dai Xiaomei looked at Mozi strangely.
Then, a small flame shot from her hand.
"Uh... it's just a simple spar."
Mozi's heart tightened, and she chuckled, "It's just a pure test of strength."
"Hahaha!"
Dai Xiaomei immediately burst into laughter. After gaining Ao Yuan's permission,
Dai Xiaomei readily accepted Mozi's request.
She hadn't yet experienced what it felt like to dominate a weaker opponent.
Now was the perfect time to test her skills against Mozi.
