Outside the palace, there is a very open square, paved with gray-brown stone slabs. Each stone slab is covered with mottled veins, which looks both natural and man-made, exuding mystery.

The Taoist rhyme.

Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei landed on the square one after another. However, when they tried to enter the palace, they were blocked by an invisible force.

"Empress, I am Tu Tian. No matter where you are going, please let me continue to follow you." Xiao Hei shouted loudly.

It has determined that the mysterious powerful person who appeared just now is the Empress of Thousand Bones who has been missing for 100,000 years, and is desperately trying to enter the palace.

"Calm down, if that person is really the Empress of Thousand Bones, even if you can't meet each other now, you will definitely meet in the future. You have been waiting for a hundred thousand years, so why rush for a moment." Zhang Ruochen consoled her.

But at this moment, Xiao Hei couldn't hear anything. He rushed towards the palace again and again, howling continuously from his mouth, as if he was crazy.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but shook his head slightly. Xiao Hei was usually carefree and acted like the boss of the world, but once it came to the Thousand Bones Empress, his emotions would get out of control and he couldn't control it at all.

At this time, no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He could only wait for Xiao Hei to calm down.

Turning his eyes, Zhang Ruochen suddenly discovered something. In the left corner of the square, there was a pool. It was oval in shape, only one foot square, and looked very inconspicuous.

There is such a small pool in the empty square. If it is not special, no one will believe it.

With one step, Zhang Ruochen crossed a hundred miles and appeared by the pool.

The water in the pool is very clear, still, without any ripples, and looks like a mirror.

Zhang Ruochen stood by the pool and cast his gaze into the pool. He couldn't help but show a hint of surprise because his figure was not reflected in the pool water.

And when he stared at the pool water, he actually had a feeling that the holy soul was about to leave the body, and a mysterious and mysterious power enveloped him.

For a moment, the pool seemed to turn into a terrifying black hole, trying to swallow his mind completely.

"Click rub rub."

Zhang Ruochen quickly took a few steps back, with a look of fear in his eyes.

It was just a pool, but it was so terrifying that with his powerful mental state, he almost lost it.

Come to think of it, when a strong person from the Great Saint Realm comes here, the situation will definitely not be too good.

"What is the origin of this pool?" Zhang Ruochen was very curious.

At this moment, the mysterious hermit's voice suddenly sounded: "This is the fate pool, which can reflect the final fate of the person you care about most. If you can come here, I will give you a chance to watch."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's heart couldn't help but the surprise in his eyes became even stronger. He almost thought he had heard wrongly.

He is now well-informed, but he has never heard of the Destiny Pool. Reflecting Destiny is really unbelievable. Even the Destiny Temple may not have this ability.

However, there should be no need for this mysterious hermit to fabricate such lies to deceive him.

"Who do I care about most?" Zhang Ruochen asked himself in a low voice.

There are many people that Zhang Ruochen cares about, such as Emperor Ming, Concubine Lin, Mu Lingxi, Kong Lanyou, etc. They are all dear to him, but which one does he care about the most?

Even he couldn't explain it clearly.

"call."

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen stood by the pool again and looked into the pool.

This time, he no longer resisted the power of the pool and allowed the strange power to penetrate into his mind.

For a moment, Zhang Ruochen felt like the world was spinning, time and space seemed to become confused, and all perceptions became blurred.

The calm pool suddenly became slightly rippled, and mysterious marks containing the principles of heaven and earth emerged clearly, intertwined with each other, and bloomed with soft divine light, forming a layer of light that enveloped Zhang Ruochen.

"Boom."

The void exploded and black lightning burst out, striking straight at Zhang Ruochen.

Prying into other people's fates is a taboo and is not tolerated by certain rules in the world.

The power of the jet-black lightning is so powerful that it seems to be able to destroy everything. Even the top saints may not be able to withstand it.

If it weren't for the protection of the light shield, Zhang Ruochen would have been struck by black lightning and his body and soul would have been destroyed.

Hundreds of cracks appeared in the void one after another, countless rules of heaven and earth appeared, became substantial, and madness poured down.

Zhang Ruochen has entered a strange state at this moment, and no matter how big the outside world is, it can't have the slightest impact on him.

I don’t know how long it took, but some pictures were reflected in the pool, which were clearly reflected in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, and even more so in his mind.

But the moment he saw it, Zhang Ruochen's pupils tightened, as if he had seen some terrible scene, and he involuntarily stepped back.

It can be seen that Zhang Ruochen's body is trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of the difficulty in controlling the emotions in his heart.

"How could... no, this is absolutely impossible." Zhang Ruochen couldn't help shouting.

With Zhang Ruochen's current calm demeanor, his emotions could fluctuate so violently. It's hard to imagine what he actually saw.

"Everything you see will inevitably happen in the future, and no one can change it." The mysterious hermit's voice sounded.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen kept shaking his head. No matter what, he did not want to believe that she would have such a fate, and it was impossible for her to be like that.

Why?

Why her?

Why is this result?

Zhang Ruochen kept questioning himself, with bulging veins on his face and flying hair, as if he was possessed by a demon.

At this moment, the Fate Pond has returned to its original state, and the outside world has returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Years ago, the woman you were looking for came here and saw the scene in the fateful pool. She behaved like you did now. After that, she entered the gate of hell without hesitation." The mysterious hermit said.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen was shocked. Had Huang Yanchen ever seen the fate of the person he cared about the most? Who was that person? Could it be him?

Could it be that Huang Yanchen entered the hell world because she saw the fate of the person she cared about most? But why did she make such a choice? What kind of secret is there?

The mysterious hermit asked again: "Young man, do you want to break through the ghost gate?"

Zhang Ruochen couldn't hear anything else at this moment. The scene he just saw kept popping up in his mind, while he was thinking about Huang Yanchen.

"Since you don't want to go through the barrier, then leave."

As the mysterious hermit's voice sounded, a large hand that was hundreds of miles long poked out from the palace.

"Bang."

Neither Zhang Ruochen nor Xiao Hei could react. They were hit by a big hand, and their vision went dark, and then they fell into a state of spinning.

"Damn...I haven't seen it yet..." the little black monster yelled.

The next moment, the two of them appeared out of thin air thousands of feet above Bai Changxing. Their bodies fell rapidly, completely out of control.

"boom."

Just hearing two loud noises, Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei both fell to the ground, making two big craters.

With the physical strength of Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei, this impact will not cause any harm to them.

After such a smash, Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses and couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the majestic ghost gate.

"I don't believe there is any fate in the world. If everything has been predestined, then what's the point of practicing hard as a monk? Even if there is a fate, I will break it." Zhang Ruochen's eyes became firm again.

"Who did you see? What did you see? Why did you look like you were going crazy just now?" Xiao Hei asked.

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fingers tightly and said nothing.

After what had happened just now, he had become less interested in breaking into the underworld.

Especially when thinking about Huang Yanchen's changes, Zhang Ruochen inexplicably developed a kind of repulsion towards the gate of hell.

Moreover, the Gate of Hell was created by a supreme god, and with his current cultivation strength, it is far from enough to unlock all the secrets.

What's more, he still has a lot of things to do in the Kunlun world and cannot stay here for too long.

No matter what, this trip finally allowed him to solve a lot of mysteries, and the trip was not in vain.

"Xiao Hei, let's go." Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei shook his head repeatedly and said: "I won't leave. I want to stay here. I want to wait until the empress comes out to meet me. She will never forget me."

Seeing Xiao Hei's persistence, Zhang Ruochen said nothing more, but could that person really be the legendary Thousand Bones Empress?

Back then, the Thousand Bones Empress had never become a god, but she was able to kill gods with her sword.

Now, one hundred thousand years have passed, if the Queen of Thousand Bones returns, how powerful will she be?

Leaving Xiao Hei alone on Bai Changxing, Zhang Ruochen reversed his formation and embarked on his return journey. After teleporting several times in succession, Zhang Ruochen returned to the hidden valley in Wangshan Mountain.

"It's time to go to the endless abyss." Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

Although there are people in the endless abyss that he doesn't want to see, this trip is necessary.

With the space teleportation array left by this holy monk Xumi, it is undoubtedly very easy to go to the endless abyss.

When he was in the Shenlong Demihuman Clan, Zhang Ruochen used this space teleportation array to teleport directly to the Northern Territory.

With Zhang Ruochen's current attainments in the way of space, although it is not a fixed-point teleportation, the deviation should not be too big.

Not long after, Zhang Ruochen completed the setting of the spatial coordinates and immediately started teleporting without any delay.
