CHAPTER 479 SLIPPED INTO THE UNDERGROUND PALACE (PART TWO)

Outside the secret chamber, hidden in the shadows, Darren heard all of these words. After he had

heard enough, he withdrew his Spirit Power for him not to be discovered by Carey.

"He is such a vicious bastard! But I am not the die-hard Kaleb; I am Darren!" Vexed at the moment,

Darren uttered with the anger of murderous intent. Then he hurried off and was lost in the darkness.

A couple of hours passed, and Darren came back to his residence. Using the map given to him by

Carey, he started to study how to steal the key. After all, though he knew where his little sister was, he

couldn't get her out of bondage without the keys.

"I must cultivate the prototype of the Air-integrated True Rule to make sure that I would succeed in this

task." After the spying that he had done, Darren knew that Carey rigged the invisibility cloak, so he

would not use the cloak all the way. Also, the invisibility cloak was not so powerful and useful,

compared with the Air-integrated True Rule. Besides, the chances of getting discovered and caught

were higher if he would put on the invisibility cloak.

"But how did the master of the Red Inferno Sect die? It was so strange." The master's strange death

prompted Darren's mind all of a sudden. It made him wonder and think about the incident.

"Anyways, what mattered to me right now is to save my little sister out of that place." With that thought

in mind, Darren shut off the master's strange death out of his head. He focused his attention on

studying the prototype of the Air-integrated True Rule again.

The Air-integrated True Rule, as its name implied, could allow a cultivator to integrate into the air. That

was to say, the cultivator's body would become part of the air. No one could attack the cultivator unless

he or she was discovered.

Moreover, the prototype of the Air-integrated True Rule that was comprehended by the cultivator

himself could be further cultivated and develop into the level of the complete Air-integrated True Rule.

On one end, if the prototype of the Air-integrated True Rule, had developed into an inferior true rule, Belongs © to .

the cultivator could integrate their body with the space. Then, those invisible cultivators could also

attack others unseen. That was the real power and useful feature of the Air-integrated True Rule.

As for now, Darren could cultivate the prototype form of the Air-integrated True Rule, and that would be

enough for him to help himself to retrieve the key. After all, that was what he really wanted.

Times passed swiftly with the sun and moon alternately dominating the skies, along with the stars and

the clouds. Three days had passed after Darren came back from Carey's residence.

At this very moment, the room where Darren lived, was almost empty, aside from the air that floated

freely across the entire space of the room.

"Yes! I just make it! Just as what I had expected. Sometimes the pressure could drive impetus. It was

amazing that I have cultivated this prototype of true rule. Now, I could get my body integrated with the

air, and keep this state for almost an hour. That would be great enough for me to work out my plan!"

With a sense of satisfaction within him, Darren was delighted. He had spent two days in studying the

Air-integrated True Rule diligently. With his arduous efforts, he cultivated the prototype form of the Air-

integrated True Rule smoothly and successfully.

"Now, I am fully prepared to carry out my plan into action. I should get the key from the palace as soon

as possible, and time is limited. Furthermore, if others killed Carey before I am done with my task, I

would have no other way to get the two keys." All this time, Darren knew those two keys were essential

for Carey, and he must have kept them in a very discreet and safe place. For sure, no one could find

those two keys, but Carey himself. So Darren decided to steal all of the keys before Carey was killed.

Whoosh!

With one swift move, Darren flew away quickly. He was so fast that he just left a piece of shadow in a

split second.

On a lofty mountain, perched atop was the guard station where the three grand-elders stayed. In his

hand, Darren held the map, on which read details of the place. On the map, it was marked where the

exact spot the key was kept. It was hidden in the Underground Palace.

After scurrying silently as a lion carefully prying on its prey, Darren was soon approaching the

Underground Palace. He landed on the ground without making a sound at all—he was as light as a

feather.

'I'd better put on the invisibility cloak, and slip into this Underground Palace. I should keep most of my

strength to use the Air-integrated True Rule for the key, ' Darren thought as he put on the invisibility

cloak, concealing him from unwanted eyes.

As he tarried along the Underground Palace, he noticed that the Air-integrated True Rule was energy-

consuming. Darren struggled and couldn't keep the state of an air-integrated body for a long time. It

was a good idea that he chose to put on the invisibility cloak at first.

With the invisibility cloak on him, in a moment, the ordinary Hiding Rule helped him disappear in the air.

He continued traversing the path directly to the Underground Palace. There were so many strong rule

cultivators guarding the Underground Palace all the way.

The invisibility cloak was a great help, and those strong rule cultivators did not discover nor sense

Darren's presence at all. With that, he arrived at the secret chamber of the Underground Palace after a

while.

'Shit! A strong rule power tightly sealed this gate, how could I open it and get in?' Darren thought

helplessly the moment he was confronted by a gigantic door sealed and unmoved.

Standing before the secret chamber, Darren felt hopeless and helpless at the same time. He didn't

anticipate that he would be facing such a hindrance, and he felt very disappointed about this.

Ta-ta, ta-ta…

At that very moment of desolation, a gentle sound of footsteps echoed in the Underground Palace;

three strong but different auras were approaching Darren from behind.

"Brother, you said you had received words from the master before. What do you mean?" asked one of

the three grand-elders.

"I am not sure if that was true or not, and the voice was muffled. It sounds like the master was seeking

help, but I have no idea about that. Out of fear, I responded to him, but the master did not react after.

Thus, I thought it was bizarre, and I just kept my silence. I was afraid something disturbed him. After all,

I cannot afford to pay the price and bear the severe punishment," reiterated the other grand-elder.

Hearing the voices, Darren hid in a corner gingerly with his invisibility cloak over him. He watched the

three grand-elders walk in the Underground Palace.

"Wait! There is something wrong in the Underground Palace," warned one of the three grand-elders

whose face was paled and suspicious. Suddenly, one of the three grand-elders became aware of the

unusual aura and frowned. His sharp eyes were shining the light of strong Spirit Power. Then to

Darren's horror, the grand-elder's eyes darted directly at the direction where he was hiding.
