This stone room was very big. The length and width were around 300 zhang. However, what caused everyone to be puzzled was that despite being so big, other than a few huge stone pillars, there was nothing else.
"Look! There are words on the stone wall! "Just when everyone was sizing up the stone room, Lin Yuhan pointed at the stone wall and said.
Everyone walked closer to the stone wall. Sure enough, there were words on it. Furthermore, there was even a painting!
"This painting …" Cheng Yu didn't pay attention to those words. However, when he saw the painting on the stone wall, his heart immediately trembled. Because he seemed to have seen this painting somewhere before.
"Junior Brother Yu, do you recognize this painting?" Xinhe enquired.
"I seem to have seen this painting somewhere before?" Cheng Yu frowned.
Looking at the painting on the stone wall, there was a huge tree that reached the sky. Under the tree, countless people were kneeling down, seemingly worshipping this huge tree.
This painting was very crude. However, the simple strokes were able to vividly depict the pious expression of the worshippers. It could be seen how sacred this huge tree was in their hearts.
Although he had already guessed that this huge tree was the legendary Heavenly Tree, the painting on the stone wall left a deep impression on Cheng Yu.
The only thing that Cheng Yu was unable to recall was where he had seen this painting before.
"Have you seen it in the five great palaces?" Xinhai enquired.
"No! There isn't such a painting in the five great palaces. I seem to have seen it somewhere else. Furthermore, it seems to be even more vivid than this! "Cheng Yu shook his head.
Not only that, Cheng Yu remembered that he seemed to have seen the scene of the Heavenly Tree collapsing. Cheng Yu closed his eyes, trying his best to grab onto that trace of inspiration. However, he was unable to do so.
"It's just a painting. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it. They seem to be worshipping this huge tree. However, this tree painting is too exaggerated. How could there be such a tall tree? It's even taller than the clouds." Xinluo pointed at the huge tree and laughed.
In order to highlight the height of the tree, a layer of clouds was drawn at the waist of the tree. After a short distance, another layer of clouds was drawn. However, they couldn't see the top of the tree. It was truly baffling.
"Looking at the intention of this painting, I'm afraid this tree is taller than the sky? There's not even a treetop! "Xinhai laughed.
"Maybe they treat this tree as a god. Only a tree god could be so big and tall!" Xin Yun said.
"Junior Brother Yu, what your clansmen worship is this Tree God?" Xin Luo looked at Cheng Yu and asked with a smile.
"I have never seen my clansmen before. How would I know?" Cheng Yu shook his head.
Although he knew that this tree referred to the Heavenly Tree, he did not intend to tell everyone about it. After all, he himself did not know much about this. Before he fully understood everything, he would not reveal this secret.
The Divine Dragon had once told him that the Heavenly Tree could lead to another world. In that case, there was nothing wrong with his clansmen worshipping the Heavenly Tree and treating it as a god.
"That's true! Your clansmen lived tens of thousands of years ago. Perhaps, there really was a tree that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavens back then, "Xinluo said as she nodded her head.
"Look, there seems to be someone on the tree!" At this moment, Xin Yao walked closer and pointed at the towering tree.
"Eh? Alas! Could it be that they really thought that this tree could stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavens? Or perhaps, they thought that this tree could lead them to the Immortal World? Could it be that they can directly become an immortal by climbing up? "Everyone walked closer to take a look. Indeed, there were people drawn on the tree.
What caused them to be even more puzzled was that there was more than one person on the tree. Every few meters, there would be a person climbing up.
"Different clans have their own beliefs. Perhaps, this mystical tree is the belief of Cheng Yu and his clansmen. Perhaps, whoever could climb to the peak would be able to become the clan leader. This isn't anything strange. A lot of clans have their own ways of choosing their clan leader. There are even all sorts of strange ways. This is a very normal thing! "Xin Yun had read a lot of books. Compared to Xin Luo and the others, her experience was much stronger.
Although it might be hard for them to understand the meaning of the drawing, her explanation was the most convincing. Everyone also felt that it was reasonable.
However, Cheng Yu knew that what Xin Luo said wasn't wrong. Legend has it that the Heavenly Tree leads to another world. These people might really hope to climb to the top of the tree and arrive at another world. As for whether it was the Immortal World or not, he had no idea.
"Aren't there other drawings here? Why is everyone staring at this drawing? This drawing also didn't tell us the whereabouts of the Yang Mirror. Everyone should look for any news regarding the Yang Mirror! "Xin Mei spoke.
"That's right. Why are we competing with this tree? Let's look at the other drawings!" Everyone woke up from their stupor. This stone room was so big. Furthermore, there was more than one drawing on the stone wall. Yet, everyone was gathered here discussing non-stop. It was truly boring.
Everyone walked along the stone wall slowly, looking at the stone drawings on the stone wall. Aside from the Heavenly Tree mural, the other drawings were much more objective.
Because these drawings were closer to life. They were all working in the fields, daily life scenes, etc.
"Do you guys think that the place in this drawing could be Kai Tian City?" Xin Hai looked at a few drawings. It seemed to be various scenes in the city. She asked curiously.
"There's this possibility. They seemed to want to record their life in Kai Tian City. From these drawings, it could be seen that Kai Tian City was once very prosperous. Furthermore, the commoners would work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Although this kind of life was simple, it was happy and beautiful.
Look at the smiles on these commoners' faces. They should be living a very happy life. What a pity. What a pity. They originally thought that they could live a simple and happy life. Unexpectedly, it was such an ending. " Xin He sighed. Looking at these originally beautiful drawings, but when he thought of the ruins above, his heart suddenly became heavy.
From these drawings, it could be seen that this was originally a beautiful place. But in the past half a month, they realized that this beautiful place had turned into a wasteland.
At this moment, Cheng Yu also closed his eyes tightly. Looking at this beautiful scene, his heart was so heavy and painful.
Although he was very doubtful about his identity and bloodline, he had undoubtedly accepted the fact that he was a member of the Holy Race. In his eyes, these were all his clansmen.
