Although the Prefecture Master had already passed away, there were still a dozen or so guards standing guard outside the palace.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at the palace, the guards at both sides of the entrance hurriedly saluted him and opened the doors.
Currently, he was the most respected person in the Sovereign King Manor by all the guards, princes, and priests. He was also the person that everyone had tacitly agreed to be the next Prefecture Master.
He stepped into the main hall of the palace and waved his hand, closing the doors behind him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In the spacious and dim main hall, the walls on both sides immediately lit up with rows of bright lights.
The bright golden light illuminated the entire hall, illuminating the ground and the vermilion and gold-painted pillars with golden light.
Ji Tianxing circled the walls of the main hall and slowly walked around, carefully observing the diagrams and words on the walls.
Although he had been to the palace a few times, he had never had the chance to carefully observe these things.
After half an hour, he had finished observing the entire hall, but he did not find anything useful.
The diagrams and words in the hall were the words of the humans, demons, water, and demons from thousands of years ago, and they had nothing to do with the Shenwu Continent.
He left the hall with some regret and walked deeper into the palace.
Deep in the palace, there were dozens of empty rooms and secret rooms that were dimly lit and covered in dust.
Ji Tianxing released his divine sense and carefully searched every room, looking for any useful clues or information.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
He had searched through more than forty rooms, but he still did not find anything useful.
He even searched the secret room where he had previously been in seclusion, but he still did not find anything.
There was only one room left, and it was protected by a primordial spirit formation that he had not searched yet.
He knew that this was the private room where the Prefecture Master lived and cultivated.
Although the Prefecture Master did not spend much time in the Sovereign King Manor, every time he returned to the Sovereign King Manor, he would stay in that room.
Thus, Ji Tianxing walked to the door of the room and used his arts to break through the formation.
The defensive formation of this room had been personally set up by the Prefecture Master.
He had inherited the Prefecture Master's absolute techniques and martial arts experience, so he naturally knew how to break through it.
In less than an hour, he had broken through the formation and opened the stone door to the secret room.
This secret chamber wasn't very big, only a hundred feet in radius.
The secret chamber was empty except for a futon made of top-grade spiritual jade in the middle of the empty space.
In the corner of the secret room, there was a jade bed made of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade.
In addition, there were many hidden compartments cut into the surrounding walls to store things.
Ji Tianxing walked around the secret room and opened more than a dozen secret compartments to check the things inside.
Most of the secret compartments stored some pills and array diagrams, as well as the fragments of bizarre magical equipment.
Ji Tianxing picked out a few Primordial Soul-level divine pellets and stored them in his spatial ring for future use.
In the last hidden compartment, he found an ancient gray book.
This ancient book was very thick and heavy. The edges and pages were worn and curled. It was obvious that it had been flipped through often.
His heart was filled with anticipation as he flipped through the ancient book.
However, there were a few strange characters on the cover of the ancient book, which made him frown.
He pondered for a while, but still couldn't recognize what those characters were.
However, he was sure that those characters were not the characters of the human, demon, water, or demon races, nor were they the ancient seal characters.
"Could it be that these aren't the characters of the Tianxuan Continent?"
This thought flashed through Ji Tianxing's mind. His eyes suddenly focused, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
He flipped open the ancient book and saw that the dark golden pages were filled with lines of small black characters.
Those small characters were the same as the words on the cover. They were not the characters of the Tianxuan Continent.
Ji Tianxing pondered for a long time, but still couldn't understand the meaning of these characters.
Thus, he continued to flip through the pages.
From the third page onwards, some scattered human characters appeared on the pages.
Those lines of small characters were similar to annotations and instructions, distributed in the middle of the mysterious characters.
Ji Tianxing immediately showed a hint of joy. He compared them with the human characters and learned to recognize the mysterious characters.
Gradually, he was immersed in the ancient book and forgot about the passage of time.
After an hour, he could already recognize more than a hundred mysterious characters.
At this point, he finally understood that the characters on this ancient book were not the characters of the Tianxuan Continent, but rather the common language of the Shenwu Continent!
"It's actually the characters of the Shenwu Continent! After the battle of the gods, the various continents were no longer connected to each other, so of course, the characters and languages would be different.
The Master hid this book in a secret room, added annotations and transliterations, and often flipped through it.
It seems that he was also learning the characters of the Shenwu Continent. "
Ji Tianxing muttered to himself as he seriously focused on flipping through the ancient book. He compared the Master's annotations and continuously recognized the characters of the Shenwu Continent.
Unknowingly, two days passed.
During these two days, he stayed in the secret room and read the ancient book from beginning to end twice.
Relying on his highly retentive memory, he memorized the contents of more than 200 pages of paper without missing a single word.
Furthermore, after repeatedly studying and studying, he could already recognize more than a thousand of the Shenwu Continent's characters.
He could even imitate the sounds of the Shenwu Continent's characters and say some simple and common phrases.
This was not a small gain for him.
At the very least, he now had a certain foundation. When he went to the Shenwu Continent in the future, he would be able to quickly learn and grasp the Shenwu Continent's language.
Besides this, he had also discovered a mysterious clue.
At the end of the ancient book, there was a mysterious imprint that was about the size of a fingernail.
The imprint was oval-shaped, and there were more than thirty patterns on its edges. It looked like a garland of flowers or a coiling dragon.
In the middle of the circle was a simple picture of a divine bird with a slender neck and soaring wings.
This picture was somewhat abstract, and Ji Tianxing could not determine whether it was a picture of a divine bird or some strange symbol.
In any case, this imprint was very special and mysterious, and it definitely contained some sort of meaning.
Ji Tianxing pondered for a long time, but he still could not figure out the meaning of this imprint.
He could only silently guess that this mysterious imprint was definitely related to the Shenwu Continent.
It could be a secret signal used by the Master to communicate with the Shenwu Continent, or it could be the symbol of that absolute powerhouse or some other power.
Ji Tianxing memorized the appearance of this mysterious imprint without missing a single detail.
He then placed the ancient book back into the secret compartment and turned to leave the secret room.
Aside from the Shenwu Continent's characters and the mysterious symbol, there were no other clues in the palace.
Ji Tianxing memorized these things in his heart, and he would continue his investigation when he went to the Shenwu Continent in the future.
A moment later, he returned to the palace's main hall.
Outside the sacred and dignified hall stood a few black-robed Divine Masters, who were silently waiting.
These six Divine Masters were led by Divine Master Blackfeather, and they were the few remaining powerhouses of the imperial household.
Ji Tianxing asked the guards to open the door and lead the few God Tier Masters into the main hall.
