C856 The Remains of the War General
Sensing no danger, everyone entered one by one to get closer to the wall, sizing up the words and sculpture on the Spiritual Jade's wall.
The carving was very complicated. Some parts of it seemed rough, while others seemed extremely intricate.
There were images of plants, beasts, mountains and rivers, as well as people. While it could not be considered lifelike, it was extraordinary and contained all sorts of completely different divine intents.
Chen Yu stared at the picture of a vine and felt as if it was coming to life. Then, the light in front of his eyes changed, and a vine flew out like a whip towards the vast void, as if it wanted to shake the sun wheel down from the sky.
Chen Yu's body shook violently.
But unfortunately, before long, the light and shadow vanished, returning to the pattern on the wall.
Chen Yu then looked at another mysterious beast pattern with an unknown name. The light in front of his eyes started to flow erratically again as one of the Giant Beast opened its mouth to swallow the heavens.
At the same time, the light disappeared.
Chen Yu looked at the words on the side. The content was very simple, it only recorded when the Cyan Heaven Origin Palace was built and it took a hundred years to build it.
However, as he stared at the individual characters carefully, he felt the sword intent glaring at him. Each stroke after stroke was the manifestation of a sword move and a sacred art.
Chen Yuzheng was about to take a closer look when he suddenly heard a dull sound.
Hearing that, he turned his head, only to see the palace door suddenly closing.
The others were also startled awake, revealing bewildered expressions. A warrior stepped forward and tried to open the palace door again, but he saw that the door was tightly shut.
Furthermore, at the place where the door closed, spirit lines flowed. It was a type of energy that shocked everyone present, and it was vast and deep.
It could be seen that it was impossible to reopen the door with the strength of the people present.
With his cultivation at the eighth level of Profound Dark Stage, the warrior angrily took out his top-grade Profound Artifact blade and hacked at the green door. His strength exploded but there were no traces left behind by the door.
Everyone present looked at each other in dismay, and their hearts couldn't help but become heavy.
However, those who were able to pass the outer exam were not ordinary people, so they wouldn't panic.
"Looks like we're trapped here!" Lo Zhangqing frowned and said.
Some people raised their heads to look above the palace walls, wondering if they could fly in the air. However, these kinds of thoughts could only be repeated in their minds, and no one dared to put it into practice.
Since the door was closed, there was no way that it would leave behind such an opening. Perhaps once they were in the air, they would be torn into pieces and killed on the spot.
"Perhaps, only when Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's inheritance is obtained will the gate open once more!" Ying Pang said.
This guess was undoubtedly what many people were thinking. The others all nodded in agreement.
"I'm afraid that's the case. Since everyone has entered, there's no other choice but to sincerely cooperate and see if they can obtain the inheritance and leave!" a man said.
Chen Yu was looking at the sky. Through the Bloodfire Eye Technique of the Three Flames, he could clearly see that the sky was densely packed with invisible Inhibition Formations. He could not see any clues, but he knew that he definitely could not break through with his current strength.
Everyone's gaze returned to the wall, but they were no longer in the mood to ponder the divine will on it.
There were many divine intents on this wall, but they were also extremely profound. They were not fully described, and it was not something that could be comprehended in a short period of time.
A slim and graceful figure flashed and left the perimeter of the wall. She suddenly walked behind the wall and disappeared from sight.
It was Shangguan Huofeng.
Shangguan Huofeng was the first to leave the wall. The others immediately moved to the side of the wall to take a look.
In the center of the long hall was a crescent moon shaped palace door that led to the two sides of the palace. Facing the wall, there was a hall with a clear front and back. One could see that there was a table in the middle of the hall, and on the table, there seemed to be something placed.
Shangguan Huofeng had already reached the bottom of the steps of the great hall. She focused her attention on sensing and observing the surroundings, and then she suddenly walked into the great hall.
A shadow appeared in the middle of the hall and started attacking Shangguan Huofeng.
Shangguan Huofeng's expression was grave as she slashed out with her saber.
The speed of the shadow was indeed surprisingly fast. In a flash, it dodged Shangguan Huofeng's astral blade and arrived beside Shangguan Huofeng, clawing down at her.
Fan Qingcheng, who was with Shangguan Huofeng, charged into the hall.
In the hall, another shadow appeared and attacked Fan Qingcheng like a ghost.
Shangguan Huofeng turned around and spread out her domain. A dazzling divine light appeared and cut the shadow into two.
The shadow disappeared, and Shangguan Huofeng dashed to the table and picked up the object on it. It was a pearl.
At the same time, Fan Qingcheng's hands also lit up with a divine light, slicing apart the silhouette that was coiling around him.
"Let's go up!" The first prince called out and dashed into the hall. The candidates following him also entered.
A burst of azure light flashed within the hall as six illusory figures appeared, attacking towards the six of them.
The six of them attacked together, blocking all of the illusions. Then, someone started to take out a Divine Artifact, slashing all six of the illusions into nothingness.
"Let's go this way!" Third Prince had a pensive look on his face as he stood at the foot of the stairs. Suddenly, he pointed to the right passage and said.
Lo Zhangqing and the others did not have any objections, and they all walked towards that direction.
Before he left, Third Prince, Ying Pang, suddenly turned his head and looked deeply at Chen Yu and Gongsun Zhiwei. His eyes were ice-cold as he entered the arch and disappeared.
"Chen Yu, what about us? Are we going this way?" Lei Xiaodao asked.
Chen Yu nodded and said, "Let's go. If we're too slow, I'm afraid there won't be any gains!"
"There doesn't seem to be much danger in this hall?" Lei Xiaodao said again.
Chen Yu nodded his head, looked at the mountain peak which stood in the center of the Cyan Heaven Origin Palace, and said: "I reckon that Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's legacy will only be on that mountain in the middle!"
"Then why don't we just head straight for the mountain in the middle?" Lei Xiaodao asked while holding his knife.
Chen Yu rolled his eyes, "Lei Xiaodao, your brain really isn't good!"
Lei Xiaodao scratched his head and said, "When I was in the academy, my brain wasn't as good as Yue Wuque and Ying Zheng's. However, you don't have to mention this kind of thing!"
Then, Lei Xiaodao looked at Dieh Xiaowu and Gongsun Zhiwei, and continued, "Even though Miss Gongsun and Miss Die are your best friends, you still have to leave me some face!"
Chen Yu laughed and scolded, "Lei Xiaodao, you talk too much nonsense!"
"I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere!" Lei Xiaodao laughed and said, "Didn't you see what happened just now? It looked like they were going to die. I can't take it anymore." "Since you want Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's inheritance, since you're here, why should you be afraid of death?"
Chen Yu patted Lei Xiaodao's shoulder and said, "Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?"
"I'm being open-minded!" Lei Xiaodao laughed.
As they spoke, the four of them passed through the archway on the left side of the corridor. On this side, however, was still a small courtyard, and on the right side of the entrance, there were a few rooms.
"I'll do it!" Lei Xiaodao rushed to the door and kicked it.
Chen Yu did not stop Lei Xiaodao because he felt that the possibility of encountering danger was not high.0
As a palace of this size, it was unlikely that Cyan Sky Origin Monarch would live here alone.
As a Super Expert of the Mixed Origin Stage, Cyan Sky Origin Monarch definitely had subordinates and servants. His subordinates and servants most likely did not have the qualifications to live on the mountain in the center of the palace, and instead lived in the palace at the foot of the mountain.
Lei Xiaodao, who kicked the door of a room, suddenly had a weird expression on his face as he stood at the door.
Chen Yuqian didn't bother to ask as he rushed over. He looked into the room and saw a water tank inside. There was nothing else in the room.
The water tank was half the size of a room, but it was made of jade. Even though it had experienced an unknown amount of time, it was still intact and without a speck of dust.
Chen Yu scolded, "What are you daydreaming for? Why aren't you carrying him home?"
Lei Xiaodao said, "How should I bear it? This person is bigger than me!"
As they spoke, the few of them came to the side of the vat. There was no more water inside, but they could see that the inside of the vat was filled with complicated restrictions and spirit prints.
Lei Xiaodao put down the knife, grabbed the edge of the water tank and tried to lift it, but he forced the water tank to remain still.
"That's enough, don't waste your energy. Let's go!" Chen Yu didn't have much interest in this water tank, so he didn't know what it was used for. It was so big and heavy, it was useless even if he took it.
Lei Xiaodao was a little dissatisfied. He kicked the water tank twice, then went out with Chen Yu to the other side of the room.
After he opened the door, he found a cold jade bed and a table and a chair.
The tables and chairs were all of spirit wood, and they had experienced many years of vicissitudes. However, they had lost their spirituality and were shattered with a pat from Lei Xiaodao.
The third room was empty except for a pile of dust.
After finding nothing, they left the place and passed through an archway in the wall of the yard to the next small yard.
This small courtyard was much larger and had many rooms. The first three were still a bunch of junk. When he searched to the fourth and biggest room, he would eventually find something.
In the middle of the room, there was actually a skeleton with a Storage Bag beside it.
When they opened the Storage Bag, besides a pile of junk, there were three Nirvana Spiritual Jade and a Divine Weapon.
The Divine Weapon was a thick-backed heavy saber that weighed over a hundred jin. Its radiance was already dim and its name was Lei Yun.
Chen Yu and the others looked at the information from the Spiritual Jade. After Chen Yu sensed the information, there was a set of cultivation method called [Thunder Cloud Art] inside.
However, Chen Yu already had a set of Lightning Attribute cultivation method that he obtained from the Lonely Spirit Abyss training field.
Dieh Xiaowu's expression became strange as she examined a Spiritual Jade.
Then, she suddenly handed the Spiritual Jade to Chen Yu and said: "Chen Yu, look at this!"
Chen Yu took the Spiritual Jade and checked it. When he saw it, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
This Spiritual Jade was neither a cultivation technique nor a sacred art, but a message left behind by this skeleton.
Gu Lei was Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's war general when he was alive. When Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's lifespan was almost up and he decided to seal up his Cyan Heaven Origin Mansion, he swore to follow and protect Cyan Sky Origin Monarch.
When Cyan Sky Origin Monarch died, he also died here, but he knew that Cyan Sky Origin Monarch wanted to leave his inheritance for his descendants, so he also left behind his techniques and abilities in the Storage Bag, to wait for the fated ones.
His martial skill was the Thundercloud Tactic, and his godly weapon was the Thunder Cloud Blade. He wanted to leave them all to fate!
