In the depths of the ocean, the palace began to sway violently. Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes amidst this turmoil.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Chen Ping was blinded by a piercing golden light that made his eyes hurt. He quickly shielded his eyes with his hand.
"Where am I? Could this be heaven?"
Chen Ping shook his head vigorously, then slowly got up.
When he saw himself in a vast and magnificent palace, he was completely stunned.
But soon, Chen Ping realized that this was not heaven, and he was not dead.
Chen Ping carefully scrutinized the palace, the entire structure seemed to be crafted from gold, radiating a dazzling golden glow!
Especially the throne in its rightful place, it gives off an aura of majesty. However, the mermaid sculpture on the throne seems out of place with the palace and the throne itself.
Then Chen Ping looked at the ground of the main hall again, looking at the patches of beast pills on the ground, feeling the aura emanating from the beast pills, a few excited flashes in Chen Ping's eyes!
But just as Chen Ping wanted to take a closer look at these beast pills, he found that these beast pills were emitting a faint aura, which finally converged into the sculpture on the throne!
Even Chen Ping's Nascent Soul was dispersing spiritual energy outward, constantly converging on the sculpture!
Chen Ping frowned slightly, his face filled with disbelief!
A sculpture, how could it possibly have the ability to absorb spiritual energy? Could there be a person hidden inside the sculpture? Or perhaps this is not a sculpture at all?
Chen Ping cautiously stepped forward, wanting to check out the sculpture and see what was going on.
But the moment Chen Ping's body neared the throne, a tremendous force hurled him back.
This throne is surrounded by an array, and Chen Ping couldn't get close at all!
And now Chen Ping's body is extremely weak, his spiritual energy almost completely depleted, so he has no way to break this formation!

"<"First, let's focus on recovering my body..."">"
Chen Ping decided to ignore the sculpture for now and focus on restoring his spiritual energy first.
So many beast pills on the ground, coupled with Chen Ping's own Nascent Soul, these would be enough for him to recover to his peak state, and might even allow him to ascend to a higher realm!
Chen Ping casually picked up a beast pill and swallowed it directly. A surge of spiritual energy exploded instantly within Chen Ping's body.
Although a single beast pill contained little spiritual energy, which had little effect on Chen Ping, there were thousands of them here, enough for Chen Ping to absorb for a while.
Chen Ping sat cross-legged impatiently, immediately activating the Inner Heart Sutra within him. Waves of swirling spiritual energy began to whirl above his head.
The spiritual energy on those beast pills transformed, beginning to surge toward Chen Ping's body.
The direction of the spiritual transformation, the mermaid sculpture on the throne suddenly seemed a little less vibrant.
Chen Ping had his eyes slightly closed, not noticing any of this at all. Even the mermaid statue's eyes twitched slightly, and the anger in its gaze was clearly visible. It was a pity that Chen Ping didn't notice!
A large amount of beast pill spiritual energy was absorbed by Chen Ping, and the spiritual power within Chen Ping's dantian began to recover at a rapid pace!
Just as Chen Ping was immersed in his cultivation, a huge wave of energy suddenly ripped his consciousness away from his body.
Chen Ping was startled. When he opened his eyes, he realized he had already entered into another space!
Here one could see a verdant island, and upon it stood a magnificent and imposing palace!
Many people went in and out of the palace. The clothes they wore were incredibly old, like something from thousands of years ago.
