Chapter 471: The Palace of Longevity
At the bottom of the abyss. ()
The moment Xuanyuan and the others stepped onto the ground at the bottom of the abyss, they felt a murderous aura pass through their feet and rush to their heads. This aura made them quiver.
Fortunately, everyone had a strong will. Otherwise, just this murderous aura would be enough to scare an ordinary Battle Immortal into a lunatic or a fool.
This was the source of the murderous aura. If not for the supreme emperor's aura released by Emperor Ying Tian's sackcloth, the physical bodies of Xuanyuan and the others would have long been torn apart by this huge murderous aura.
The fiery rain and tassels lit up the path within a radius of thousands of feet. There were corpses all over the ground.
It seemed that every corpse exuded a supreme murderous aura. Regardless of whether it was the humans or the Primordial Races, they seemed to be fighting for a treasure or defending something. Everyone's will was incomparably firm. No one knew what they were fighting for. Perhaps only those who had lived in that era would know.
"This tragedy happened during the era when tens of thousands of races coexisted. It was even older than Emperor Ying Tian," the Great Pig said slowly. The pig-headed Great Emperor slowly said. Looking at the scene before him, the pig-headed Great Emperor was clearly moved.
"What are they fighting for?" Qian Duoduo asked as he looked at the scene before him.
"I don't know. Let's look around. Maybe we can find some clues."
Xuanyuan walked a few steps and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a faintly glowing object in one of the Primordial Race corpses. The moment he bent down and flipped the corpse over, a violent murderous aura broke through Xuanyuan's skin.
Xuanyuan felt pain on his fingertip. Even with his body that could fight against a Third Revolution Immortal and the power of the All Energy-Absorption Body, Xuanyuan was still cut by this sudden burst of murderous aura. The aura of the Blue Dragon's essence swept out. That Primordial Race corpse was hit by the aura and turned into ashes in the next moment.
Underneath him was a lantern. It was a magic weapon, made of the most precious materials. Just as Xuanyuan picked up the lantern that was emitting a faint light, it dimmed, as if that was its last moment of glory.
The Great Pig sighed.
"This is a low-grade Dao treasure. It has been buried here for countless years. Even if it is a Dao treasure that has obtained the Dao patterns of the world, it will still die. Just now, it sensed our aura and gave off its final glow."
Xuanyuan pressed his hand lightly. This once low-grade Dao treasure turned into dust and fell to the ground. No matter how strong a power was, in the face of time, there would come a day when it would be completely drained.
When the corpse and the lantern magic treasure were turned to dust, Xuanyuan realized that the murderous aura did not come from the corpses. Instead, it was formed by their blood, which had been infused with their will and poured onto the ground.
There was an indescribable sadness and sorrow in this scene. Xuanyuan's heart stirred. He kept thinking.
What were they fighting for? What were they fighting for?
Along the way, corpses were strewn everywhere. They were either entangled in pairs, using magic treasures to penetrate each other's bodies, or using their own supernatural powers to destroy each other's bodies. All kinds of killing methods were vividly displayed here. The mountain walls on all sides were bombarded to the point that it was too horrible to look at, as if it would collapse at any time. Xuanyuan looked at the terrain lines and could confirm that this place was not originally so wide. It was forcibly blasted open during the battle.
Countless broken magic treasures, broken spears, treasured swords, treasured bows, broken sabers, cauldrons, bells, lanterns, and so on, were either pierced into the enemy's body or laid quietly on the ground. The same thing was that they had already dimmed.
"There are so many magic treasures, but after countless years, the power on these magic treasures has dissipated. Otherwise, we can use them to refine a lot of immortal coins." Qian Duoduo could not help but sigh. She felt that it was a pity. From the looks of these broken magic treasures, their refining methods and their quality were far beyond the current ones. If these magic treasures were still here, she could learn a lot from the engraved patterns on them.
"Could it be that there are treasures hidden here?" Hwang Yue-chan was also shocked by the scene in front of her. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, they were still intact, but the flesh and blood had dried up. This made her question in her heart. She said:
"I don't know why they did not decay. Could it be because of this place that allowed them to be preserved? Could it be because of this cold air? "
Xuanyuan also felt that it was very strange. Logically speaking, corpses would decay faster than magic treasures. Currently, some of the magic treasures were already broken, but these corpses had not turned into ashes yet. Could it be because of the terrain?
Xuanyuan was puzzled. He immediately activated his True Sight to look around. Every inch of the mountain walls and every inch of the ground was examined by Xuanyuan. Through the broken runes and the unstable ground, he saw some incomplete runes. These runes were not complete, but they were still moving. They were incomparably mysterious, giving people a feeling that they could exist forever. Xuanyuan carefully comprehended these runes, allowing them to flow in his heart. He recalled everything recorded in the Heavenly Scripture.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan opened his eyes. His face was full of shock as he cried out involuntarily:
"This is the 'Longevity Immortal Force'. It's actually the 'Longevity Immortal Force'. Anyone who cultivates here can become immortal. By tempering their bodies with the cold currents, they can even slow down aging. This place is a holy land for cultivation. Although the 'Longevity Immortal Force' has been mostly destroyed, some of the force patterns are still in operation. That's why they've survived for so long! This is the reason! "
After saying that, Xuanyuan immediately bent down and touched the ground with his hand. Apart from the endless murderous intent, there was also an extremely rich vitality. Xuanyuan was ecstatic and said:
"That's right. This used to be the place where the 'Longevity Immortal Force' was located. These experts fought and killed here, using their blood to irrigate this land. That's why their murderous intent is everlasting. It's because the 'Longevity Immortal Force' has not been destroyed!"
"Husband, you mean that as long as the 'Longevity Immortal Force' is not destroyed, these bones will never decay?" When Hwang Yue-chan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart at the magical power of the terrain. If an ordinary person came here, how could they see the mysteries within?
"No, it's just that it can make them exist a little longer. Moreover, it's only on the surface. Even if the 'Longevity Immortal Force' is undamaged, it can't let a person live for more than ten thousand years. This is a limit that even the 'Longevity Immortal Force' can't break through. However, it can make people not age, and it's enough to maintain a person's combat power at its peak. Perhaps they were fighting for this holy land for cultivation!" Xuanyuan sighed. With a light kick, an ancient alien corpse under his feet instantly turned into ashes that scattered all over the ground.
"Right now, these skeletons only have an empty appearance. In reality, they're too weak to withstand a single blow. It's just that the incomplete 'Longevity Immortal Force' has left their surface form intact."
Xuanyuan activated his True Eye and memorized the natural force patterns formed by the 'Longevity Immortal Force'. In the Daluo Sutra, there wasn't a complete 'Longevity Immortal Force'. Xuanyuan knew that he would see more powerful terrains in the future. The Daluo Sutra needed him to perfect it.
"There are dead people everywhere. I want the treasure! Where is the treasure! " The Great Pig recovered from his sigh. Like a demon, he transformed into twelve black holes around him. Each black hole contained an extremely terrifying devouring power. With a thought from the Great Pig, the black holes trembled. A terrifying power rolled out, shattering the skeletons and the broken transcendent artifacts. It seemed like he wanted to see if there were any treasures left.
The corner of Xuanyuan's eyes couldn't help but twitch. The Great Pig was too ruthless. These people were dead, but he didn't let them rest in peace. He simply didn't leave their corpses behind. Only the Great Pig could do such an outrageous thing.
Large patches of skeletons turned into ashes. The Great Pig didn't have any respect for these dead people. To him, nothing was more important than the treasure.
Looking at the Great Pig's behavior, Qian Duoduo seemed to be used to it. She had seen too many outrageous things from the Great Pig when she was with the Great Pig. Meanwhile, Hwang Yue-chan, who hadn't seen the Great Pig before, also twitched her eyelids a few times. She sighed.
"The Devouring Emperor really lives up to his name. I'm finally lucky to see this scene today."
The Great Pig swept through everything along the way but didn't find a single so-called treasure. After being provoked by Hwang Yue-chan, the Great Pig said nonchalantly, "Hehe, when you see your little husband looting things, you'll know that the two of us are actually equal.
It's a waste not to share the wealth of the dead with the dead. It's their honor to have their corpses swept away by me! "The Great Pig swept through everything along the way but did not find a single so-called treasure.
At the bottom of the abyss, there was a tunnel that was three thousand feet wide. They didn't know where it led to. Along the way, Xuanyuan and the others didn't move very fast. The pig swept everything in its path, but Xuanyuan didn't care. He didn't think the pig would get anything.
"Xuan Xuan, are we going inside? I have a feeling that it'll be even more dangerous inside! "Qian Duoduo said.
"I feel the same way. But since we're already here, I'm not willing to return empty-handed. Mochou definitely wouldn't point us in carelessly. There must be something special here that we just haven't discovered yet." Xuanyuan activated the array core and looked around. From time to time, he could see the broken patterns of the Longevity Immortal Force and memorized them.
"My little husband is right. That little girl never lies, let alone to her Big Brother Xuanyuan," Hwang Yue-chan said with a chuckle.
Just as they were carrying on, they suddenly heard a scream.
"Ah … haha." The Great Pig's body trembled in excitement. He saw a mottled black chain floating in mid-air. When Xuanyuan saw this mottled black chain, his heart couldn't help but tremble. The corner of his eye twitched as he exclaimed, "This is the Devouring Chain.
"This is the Devouring Chain. Why is it here?!"
"Haha, it's all thanks to me. If it wasn't for me, we would have missed the Immortal Devouring Mansion even if we gathered all eight keys in the future." The Great Pig was in a state of ecstasy. This was a relic left behind by the Devouring Emperor!
Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel lucky. He didn't expect one of the keys to the Immortal Devouring Mansion to fall into this place. It seemed that no matter where he went in the future, he would have to clean up the place. Although the chances of this happening were not high, it wasn't impossible. The Devouring Emperor didn't want the Immortal Devouring Mansion to fall into the hands of others, so he split the key into nine parts and scattered them all over the Dou Qi World.
The Great Pig immediately put the Devouring Chain into his world. Xuanyuan didn't say much. It was the same no matter where it was. When the Immortal Devouring Mansion could be opened, they would all gather together.
"The Immortal Devouring Mansion. Could the legend be true? The Devouring Emperor left behind an immortal's mansion. Inside it was his life's work. It was said that there was a supreme elixir that could extend one's life by 9,000 years … "Hwang Yue-chan was shocked. Hearing the Great Pig's words, it was obvious that the Immortal Devouring Mansion really existed!
"Hehe, that's right. I didn't expect you to know so much. Back then, many of the major forces attacked the Devouring Emperor because of that peerless godly medicine. Everyone wanted to step into the Divine Realm. However, the truth was not as simple as they thought. If the godly medicine could be digested so easily, the Devouring Emperor would have devoured it long ago. Why would he need to suppress it in the Devouring Immortal's Residence? What is a supreme elixir? They still don't understand the meaning behind it! "
The Great Pig's expression was ferocious as he said this. He would never forget the time the Devouring Emperor was besieged. It was the pain of his life. It was also because of that time that he had fallen to such a state. Otherwise, he would still be the high and mighty Holy Beast of All Transformations, an existence that could fight against Great Emperors!
"Wait for the day the Devouring Immortal Mansion opens. I will make them pay off the debts that the various great powers owed on that day."
"Pig, don't be so resentful. It's all in the past. Let's go. There might be a key to the Immortal Devouring Mansion up ahead! Don't miss it! " The Qian Duoduo giggled, dispelling the Great Pig's violent aura. He regained his greedy look and laughed heartily as he swept through the area.
Xuanyuan had been silent about the Great Pig's past. Everyone had their own past. Xuanyuan felt that he couldn't stop anything. He could only let the Great Pig decide what to do.
Just like Lone Star, this past had always been a pain in his heart. No one could stop him from avenging Lone Star on Jiang Yitian's behalf. Do unto others what you do not wish to be done to yourself.
The subsequent sweep made the greedy Great Pig's hope turn into despair. He walked for 50 miles. All the corpses and bones were shattered, but not even a strand of hair from the Primordial Era was left. The Great Pig looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Heavens, you should have left something good for me."
Xuanyuan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "You have no common sense at all.
"You don't have any common sense at all. You should be satisfied to be able to find the Devouring Chain. Back then, when such a terrifying war broke out here, who knows how many people have come here to clean up the battlefield. Anything that can survive until now must be extremely precious. Who would leave it for you?"
The Great Pig looked as if he had lost his parents.
"Could Mochou be referring to the Chain of Devouring?"
Xuanyuan shook his head and sighed.
"I don't know. Since we're already here, let's go forward and see. Who knows, there might really be some treasure!"
The further he went, the stronger the murderous aura became. Xuanyuan could feel that the murderous aura and the cold air were not something that could be resisted by anyone below the sixth rank of xian fighter realm. Even the Saint of the Fighting Dragon would find it difficult to move an inch if he came here.
Unless they had the Fighting Fire of Heaven and Earth that could withstand the cold currents and something that could block out the terrifying murderous aura, they would die the further they went.
As Xuanyuan got closer, he found some corpses that had entered later. Because their clothes were too different, he could tell at a glance that they were not from the same era. They were all thousands of years apart. They had either entered by chance or had their own goals. Unfortunately, they all died here.
Even so, the result was the same. The Great Pig did not get a single hair.
Corpses were everywhere. The war back then was far more tragic than Xuanyuan had imagined. The deeper they went, the more violent the murderous aura became. The marks left behind on the mountain walls were even more terrifying.
The corpses were swept clean by the Great Pig. He was like a selfless cleaner, giving everything he had.
Finally, a sliver of white light appeared in front of them. Xuanyuan and the others were excited. Clearly, there was another world here.
"Look, there's white light in front!" Qian Duoduo was the first to jump in excitement.
"Haha, the treasure must be in front." The Great Pig was very excited. If it was not for the terrifying murderous aura, he would have rushed forward.
"Let's go and have a look," Hwang Yue-chan said.
Xuanyuan nodded. The group got closer and closer. They saw a snow-white palace appear in front of them.
The palace looked like it was made of frost and snow. It was magnificent and had an ancient aura. No one knew how long it had been, but it had been preserved to this day.
Everyone felt that in front of this palace, they had become incomparably small. It represented a long period of history. After countless years, it had proven its value to the world.
At the top of the palace, there were three extremely strange runes. It was the language of the Primordial Alien Tribe. Xuanyuan could not understand it.
"This is the Longevity Palace," The Great Pig said in surprise.
