C266 Goddess Statue
Su Chen followed the crowd and headed deeper into the mountain. Along the way, they saw many of the forests and valleys that had been destroyed. They didn't know if it was the battle between the two mysterious experts or the major sects.
An ancient palace stood in the middle of a mountain peak. This mountain peak was just like the rumors. It was cut in half by two mysterious experts in the middle. If it wasn't for this... The ancient temple wouldn't have been revealed. It seemed to have been hidden in the belly of the mountain since ancient times.
The cultivators of Divine Empress Sect seemed to have retreated. A group of spectators couldn't hold their curiosity anymore and rushed into the palace.
This divine palace was incomparably ancient. No one knew how many years it had been. Many of the tall white stone pillars had fallen to the ground. The walls were also covered with marks left by the passage of time. Sunlight poured in from the outside, making the entire palace snow white.
If not for the passage of time, this was indeed a magnificent and magnificent temple. However, all things in this world couldn't endure the passing of time, and they would eventually slowly fade away in the long river of history.
The temple was extremely spacious, and it was divided into three halls in total. There were many passageways between the halls. The ancient temple was filled with the fragrance of plants. Many places were already filled with weeds, and there was even a Towering Ancient Tree growing in one of the courtyards. It was as thick as seven or eight people hugging it, and it definitely wouldn't be less than a thousand years old.
Cultivators rushed in one after another. Looking at the empty divine palace, someone cursed unhappily, "Even if there is something here, it has already been taken away by the Divine Empress Sect."
The others chimed in one after another. Many of them still hadn't given up hope, and continued to search for it in the depths of the palace.
Su Chen followed behind them. He didn't expect that there would be any treasures left here. That was a very naive thought, but an inexplicable feeling emerged in his heart. He felt as if there was something calling for him here.
After entering the second hall, everyone saw a tall statue standing in the middle of the hall. In front of the statue was a two meter tall altar. However, they still couldn't see the true face of the statue. Its head and upper body had been seriously damaged. The altar was also full of cracks at the moment. There were many weeds and a few small trees growing on it.
Everyone carefully observed the altar and the statue for dozens of minutes, but in the end, they didn't find anything.
"Let's smash open this stone statue and the altar. Maybe there really is something inside." Some people said unwillingly.
"Haha, then why don't you just smash the entire palace and see what's inside the stone pillar walls. I've checked, this altar and statue are all rocks." Someone said with a sneer.
"It seems like we came here for nothing." Someone sighed.
"Hehe, then do you really think you've found a treasure? We're just here to watch the fun. There's still a palace inside. Let's go after watching it."
At this moment, the palace was surrounded by cultivators. There were a thousand of them. Outside the palace, there were many flying beasts hovering in the sky. There were also many people looking for something in the nearby mountains.
Those people probably suspected that there might be such a palace in the nearby mountains. If they found it, they would be furious.
However, this was really a bit of hunger. If there was a temple nearby... The big sects probably already found it, even if they didn't find it. If you found it, you would be even more unlucky. If you weren't strong enough... The temple you found would be taken away immediately.
There are always some poor people who overestimate themselves and think they're smart.
Su Chen followed the group into the last palace. He found that the inexplicable feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. His emotions started to become a little uneasy and even a little violent.
The road to the palace became a little dark. The sunlight seemed to be blocked by a few Towering Ancient Tree growing in the hall. Only a small part of the light shone through the gaps of the trees.
The air here had also become somewhat cold. If it was a person who came in to explore, he would definitely feel uneasy.
However, the more people there were, the more people there would be. The more people there were, the bolder the person would be.
After walking for two to three minutes, they finally arrived at the final hall.
This palace was even more vast than the first two. In the middle of the palace was a two meter tall huge altar. On both sides of the altar, there were four broken stone statues. They even held ancient weapons in their hands. It looked like the legendary ancient temple of Western Continent.
On top of the altar, a beautiful statue of the goddess stood gently. Although there were many cracks on the statue's body, it was much more complete than the other statues, as if they were made of different materials.
Looking from afar, this female Divine Stone looked incomparably pure and holy. It was sacred and inviolable. In her left hand was a treasured sword. She held an Elemental Staff in her right hand, but there was only half of the staff left. The first half of the staff had been destroyed.
Everyone couldn't help but cry out in alarm as they circled around the statue.
"This must be the goddess that was worshipped. She's too holy and beautiful!"
There were many cultivators in Western Continent, and they all felt a sense of respect towards this western statue.
Su Chen's heart suddenly shook. He could feel that the strong feeling seemed to come from the goddess statue.2
He felt that his chest was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was going to explode. A surge of violent energy kept surging into his heart. At this moment, he was filled with the desire to kill.
"Could it be the side effect of using the Purple Divine Bone?" Su Chen's will was incomparably firm. He tried his best to control this instinct. Cold sweat was slowly forming on his back.
"No, I have to leave this place." Su Chen guessed that the reason why he had that violent feeling was because he was too close to that female statue.
Perhaps that statue of the goddess had some secret that no one knew about.
Su Chen did not stay any longer and quickly rushed out of the temple. When he left the Divine Palace, the violent feeling in his heart had indeed lessened a lot. He flew dozens of miles in a row and left the ancient temple. The feeling of violence within his body finally disappeared.
"That goddess statue is a bit strange." Su Chen still had lingering fears, but he didn't leave just like that. Instead, he wanted to wait until all the cultivators had left. He would go in and investigate. At that time, he would become incomparably ruthless. There was no one he could hurt.
Su Chen stood on a mountain peak and saw many cultivators wandering around the nearby dozens of mountain peaks. It was as if they wanted to search for another divine palace.
"Legend has it that the depths of Lost Mountain Range can easily make people lose their way. It seems like they have really lost their way. They are really obsessed with ghosts." Su Chen found it funny.
"Ah!" Suddenly, someone cried out from a mountain not far away. They seemed to have really found something.
