Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator-Chapter 286 A Race From The Legend

"Zhan Chen, goodbye then. I will pick you after you come out from the soul island", Lu Tai Cang spoke after leaving Zhan Chen near the Spirit palace entrance.

"Thank you senior. I will trouble you for few more days", Zhan Chen replied. Lu Tai Cang nodded his head with a smile and flew towards the sky. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

An expert approached Zhan Chen after Lu Tai Cang left. Zhan Chen immediately recognised the expert as the announcer of the grand sect competition.

"Zhan Chen, you are finally here", elder Huo of the Spirit palace spoke with a big smile on his face.

"Greetings senior", Zhan Chen bowed slightly to show his etiquette.

"Let's enter our Spirit palace. It has been years since we have last invited someone", elder Huo spoke.

Zhan Chen followed elder Huo and walked towards the stone entrance. There were two rows of warriors who were guarding the entrance. They bowed immediately after seeing elder Huo. There was a curious look on their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Open the entrance. I am bringing in the guest", elder Huo spoke after crossing the stone gate. Zhan Chen felt surprise as a golden gate appeared in the air out of now here.

Elder Huo brought him to the sky and waited for the golden gate to completely open. A thick wave of essence energy filled the surrounding as the golden gates started to open.

"Such pure essence energy!", Zhan Chen murmured with suprise and looked towards the golden entrance with curiousity in his eyes. His curious look tuned into one that of wonder after elder Huo brought him beyond the golden gate.

It was like a world within the world and Zhan Chen became completely mesmerized by the true appearance of the Spirit palace.

There were colourful birds and animals roaming in open. Few huts could be seen which were built amidst the thriving vegetation.

Elder Huo chuckled slightly after seeing Zhan Chen's reaction. It was the same for all the visitors after they came across the true land of the Spirit palace.

'It is unbelievable. The essence energy is almost seven times more than the outside', Zhan Chen thought to himself. Elder Huo brought him beyond the woods and finally an ancient looking palace appeared infront of his eyes.

"I can accompany you only this far. I am not allowed to enter the holy palace with my cultivation level", elder Huo spoke. Zhan Chen felt surprise for a moment but he still nodded his head with a calm look on his face.

'Even a peak Tribulation realm expert can't enter this palace. Then does not it mean that whoever are leaving in this palace are either emperors or sages!", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a huge surprise in his heart.

His conjecture became true after he saw another old man coming out from the ancient palace. The old man smiled slightly after seeing elder Huo and Zhan Chen. There was a little curiousity in his aged eyes when he looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Little Huo, well done. I will take over from here", he spoke to elder Huo.

"Uncle Shang, it is kind of you but why are you still calling me little even though I am already one hundred fifty six years old", elder Huo complained.

His whining didn't work as the old man embrassed him few more times. Zhan Chen felt speechless after seeing elder Huo fleeing away to save himself from the embarassment.

"Little friend, let me give a proper introduction of myself. I am Tao Shang, one of the protectors of the Spirit palace. The shy old man who had just fled was my blood nephew", he spoke to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen smiled awkwardly after hearing the introduction of the old man. The uncle and nephew pair had managed to amuse him although they were mighty cultivators themselves.

"Zhan Chen, we meet again", the palace master of the Spirit palace spoke after Tao Shang brought him inside the ancient palace.

"Uncle Zhuyan", Zhan Chen greeted the middle aged man who had come to see him as soon as he entered the ancient palace. Tao Shang was looking at the scene with disbelief on his face as he saw their dignified palace master behaving so warm to a junior. He couldn't recall if their palace master had behaved so warmly infront of everyone except the two princess of the Spirit palace.

"Elder Shang. Take Zhan Chen to the guest hall. I will be there in a moment after dealing with my business here", Chi Zhuyan spoke. Tao Shang nodded his head and led Zhan Chen towards a nearby corridor. A neatly arranged hall with few wooden chairs appeared infront of Zhan Chen after he entered the guest hall.

Tao Shang called for the maids after entering the guest hall. Few charming maids came out and they were holding exquisite looking plates in their hands.

What attracted the attention of Zhan Chen was the appearance of maids. All of them had voluptuous bodies and they wear wearing revealing clothes which could highlight their beauties more.

Except their beauties, the most striking part about them was their horns. A pair of red coloured horns were protruding out of their foreheads and it attracted the attention of Zhan Chen the most.

"What race are they?", Zhan Chen asked with surprise on his face. The maids smiled slightly after seeing the surprised look on Zhan Chen's face.

"Have you heard of the Beastmen race?", Tao Shang looked towards Zhan Chen. "Beastmen!", Zhan Chen recalled a legend he had came across in his past life. In the legend, beastmen were described as a powerful race who had born from the union between heavenly demons and the blessed women from ancient times.

"Yes, I have heard of them", he spoke and looked towards the maids with curiousity in his eyes.

"They are exactly from that race. To be particular they are from the Mountain cow tribe of Beastmen race", Tao Shang spoke.

"No wonder I felt confused when I couldn't find the pure beastly aura from them", Zhan Chen spoke with understanding in his eyes.

"But is not the Beastman race supposed to be a legend? How come there are few in the Spirit palace?", he asked Tao Shang with curiousity on his face.

"It is natural that you will feel curious about them", the voice of Chi Zhuyan came from a distance. All the maids bowed immediately after seeing the palace master coming towards them.

"My ancestor also felt the same when he came across them in a small island", Chi Zhuyan spoke.

"We can talk about them later. In fact, you can directly interact with them after we finish our conversation", he further added.

Zhan Chen nodded his head as it was a good proposal for him. He could interact with the beastmen directly after talking with Chi Zhuyan.

"Elder Shang, you may leave now. I want to have some privacy while talking with Zhan Chen", Chi Zhuyan looked towards Tao Shang.
