Free Web NovelChapter 1166: Chapter 1165: The Floating Celestial Palace
"Quick! Quickly enter the stone gate!"
Lin Fan shouted urgently, his arms swinging continuously, just like a car engine, showing no sign of exhaustion!
Large swaths of Cannibal Ants were slain by Lin Fan, but the sheer number of ants was terrifying. Even though Lin Fan killed many, he was still forced to retreat!
Nie Lei and others didn’t dare to hesitate, frantically pulling the trigger while retreating into the stone gate!
Lin Fan covered the rear, and seeing everyone had entered the stone gate, he pushed off the ground with his feet, his body soaring like a roc spreading its wings, retreating into the gate!
To Lin Fan’s surprise, these Cannibal Ants stopped in front of the stone gate, as if afraid of something, not daring to enter, and quickly retreated!
"These damned beasts, lucky they don’t dare to come in, or I’d be a goner here today!" Nie Lei sat on the ground, sweating profusely and looking exhausted!
Lin Fan also breathed a long sigh of relief. If these Cannibal Ants had really chased in, it would have been a battle with unimaginable consequences for them!
Immediately, Lin Fan turned his head to look at what was inside the stone gate!
The next second, Lin Fan stood frozen in place!
"This... this is..." Xiang’Er stuttered, unable to speak for a moment as she looked at the scene before her!
Sitting on the ground, Nie Lei turned his head in confusion, and when he saw the scene before him, a surge of strength made him stand up on the ground with a "swish", exclaiming in terror, "There’s a... Celestial Palace in here!"
Without a doubt! What appeared before Lin Fan and the others was a vast cavern, boundlessly wide, with a massive Celestial Palace floating above it!
That’s right! It’s floating!
This Celestial Palace is as massive as the Lingxiao Palace of the Immortal Realm, situated right in the middle of the cavern!
The place where Lin Fan and the others stood was a cliff, connected by a white jade-constructed celestial ladder that descended from the Celestial Palace!
This celestial ladder was floating in mid-air, and exceedingly neat, one step after another!
Apart from this, carriages, chariots, soldiers, and warhorses were also floating densely around!
It was like a space without Earth’s gravity!
On the cavern’s top was a large jade stone, like a sun, emitting dazzling rays of light, illuminating the entire cavern, making it feel like daytime outside!
"This is absolutely incredible, is this the legendary Immortal Realm?" Nie Lei exclaimed in shock!
"These things seem unaffected by Earth’s gravity. If my guess is right, it must have something to do with the jade stone on top!" Xiang’Er said, looking at the jade stone on the ceiling.
"Whether it’s related or not, if this scene were to be spread, it would shock the whole world. Scientists have been studying anti-gravity, but apart from reaching space, they haven’t been able to break free from Earth’s gravity on Earth. But here... it’s beyond words!"
Lin Fan’s eyes burned unusually bright!
"Boss, should we go up?" Nie Lei asked excitedly, his face full of longing!
Lin Fan looked at the end of the celestial ladder, at the massive Celestial Palace, and clenched his hands tightly, saying, "Since we’re here, how can we not go up? I’ll test the safety of this celestial ladder first, you follow closely!"
"Understood!"
Nie Lei and the others nodded enthusiastically, their faces brimming with excitement!
Floating is something many have dreamed of!
Then, Lin Fan approached the celestial ladder, cautiously stretching out one foot. After stepping on it, Lin Fan felt his foot light and airy, as if about to float up!
Lin Fan pressed down firmly with his foot, finding that the celestial ladder was very solid, and only then did he step his other foot onto it!
Lin Fan dared not let Nie Lei and the others ascend just yet, but continued forward a few steps, finding no abnormalities, then said to Nie Lei and the others, "Everyone, ascend one by one, don’t rush!"
"Okay! I’ll go first!"
Nie Lei shouted, quickly stepping onto the celestial ladder!
Lin Fan led the way, charging at the forefront, as the group carefully progressed towards the distant, highest Celestial Palace!
This celestial ladder was leading upwards, and before long, Lin Fan and the others had climbed at least ten meters in height!
Looking down, below was a pitch-black void where nothing could be clearly seen!
A curious thought suddenly filled Lin Fan’s mind, and he stuck out a foot to step beyond the celestial ladder!
To Lin Fan’s astonishment, when he pressed his foot down, it seemed as if something below was supporting his foot, pushing him upwards!
"Could it be... I can really float?"
Lin Fan entertained a bold notion and immediately told Nie Lei, "Leizi, give me the rope!"
"Understood!" Nie Lei nodded, immediately tossing the rope to Lin Fan!
Lin Fan caught the rope and securely tied it around his waist. He took a deep breath, and then removed both feet from the celestial ladder, jumping into that wide open space!
Sure enough, as Lin Fan expected, when he jumped, it felt as though something below was supporting his feet, bouncing his body upward!
Then, as Lin Fan waved his arms gently in the air, he was like a kite in the sky, his body soaring upward!
"Whoa! You can really fly?" Nie Lei exclaimed in shock!
"Scientists have always researched flight free from Earth’s gravity, but who would have thought here... you can really fly!" Nalan Qiankun marveled.
Then, Lin Fan experimented a bit and noticed that without intentional effort to descend, his body would immediately lose its buoyant energy and start to fall!
Thankfully, Lin Fan reacted quickly, pushing off hard with his feet in the void, rising into the air once more!
Lin Fan said, "I get it! There’s a rebound effect here, as long as you move with force, you won’t fall, but if you stop completely, it’s hard to float!"
"I want to try!"
Excitedly, Nie Lei jumped off the celestial ladder, stamping hard with his feet in the air, and indeed, he bounced up!
Seeing this, others couldn’t contain their excitement, and they too jumped into the void!
After playing around for a while, Lin Fan said, "Alright, it’s time to take care of business! Let’s continue towards the Celestial Palace!"
"Let’s fly over!" Nie Lei laughed.
"Sounds good!"
After Lin Fan nodded, the group started flapping like birds in flight, immediately heading towards the Celestial Palace!
The flight speed wasn’t very fast but certainly faster than walking. Soon, they arrived at a platform beneath the Celestial Palace!
Before them stood the Celestial Palace!
Leading to the Celestial Palace was a stone staircase made of white jade, resembling the high stone steps in front of ancient emperor halls!
On the stone walls lining the stairs, dragons soared and phoenixes danced in the carvings, and the murals looked vivid as if alive!
