After dealing with those demon spirits, Su Xin recovered his True Qi. Yan Ziqing and Ye Changge also walked over and carefully looked at the situation in the valley. They wanted to see what was so special about this place that it could actually be guarded by so many demon spirits.
Su Xin and the others walked towards the valley. When they completely entered the valley, they discovered that this place was not actually a valley, but a group of palaces!
There were more than ten luxurious palaces located inside the valley. The style was completely different from the Central Plains. It should have been built by some country in the Western Regions.
Countless corpses almost filled the entire valley. It was also the obsessions left behind by them that formed so many evil demon spirits.
Su Xin and the others looked at each other. In the past, when the Human Emperor conquered the Western Regions, this place should be one of the countries in the Western Regions that were destroyed by the Human Emperor. Moreover, from the looks of it, it seemed to be an imperial palace.
Although it was a very strange thing to place an imperial palace in a valley, it was very normal for the countries in the Western Regions.
After all, they had many countries. Therefore, they could not be too picky about things like imperial palaces. In their own country, they just needed to choose a place with the best heaven and earth essence Qi and terrain.
Now that ten thousand years had passed, no one knew what the Feng Shui of this place was like. However, the terrain here was not bad. There were only two places to enter the valley, the front and the top. The entrance was also pitifully small. It could be said that it was easy to defend and hard to attack.
Of course, this kind of terrain also made it easy to be surrounded to death. After all, this place was not easy to enter, but it was even more difficult to leave.
Right now, the only thing that Su Xin and the others were puzzled about was, what was the obsession of those demon spirits?
From their armors, they could tell that they were soldiers of an imperial dynasty in the past when they were alive.
Since they were soldiers of an imperial dynasty, then what obsession did they have to guard this place? Could it be that there was something extraordinary here? Or was it because they were ordered to guard this place when they were alive?
For the people of an imperial dynasty to guard the imperial palace of a small country in the Western Regions, this kind of thing was not very reliable.
However, the crisis had already been resolved. Su Xin and the others did not think too much about it. They went straight to the central plaza. Just now, the place where most of the demon spirits gathered was here.
When Su Xin and the others arrived at the plaza in the center of the palace, they could clearly see what was inside. It was something very familiar to Su Xin. It was a white jade slab! It was almost exactly the same as the one Su Xin had obtained from the Nine Sword Pavilion!
Moreover, it wasn't just the white jade slab that shocked Su Xin. The appearance of the plaza was also very strange.
Although this place was called a square, it was actually more like an altar. There were some strange wooden carvings, skeletons of unknown giant beasts, and so on.
The white jade slab was enshrined in the center of the altar as if it was very important.
Apart from the Zhou Kingdom, only the Heaven and Earth Palaces and the Five Sword Sects possessed it. Yan Ziqing and Ye Changge probably hadn't seen it before.
However, the commotion caused by the Nine Sword Pavilion was too big. The other martial arts sects were not idiots. After such a long time, they naturally inquired about the appearance of the white jade slab. Therefore, Yan Ziqing and Ye Changge were naturally not unfamiliar with the white jade slab.
Moreover, in addition to the white jade slab, there were two other things enshrined on the altar, placed next to the white jade slab.
One of them was a black seed, as if it was cast from jade. It was exuding a pure Devil Qi.
The other thing was a white bead, only the size of a pigeon's egg. There seemed to be a vague mist circulating within it. It was very mystical.
Su Xin searched for the other two things in his mind. He seemed to have never seen these two things before.
However, at this time, Yan Ziqing spoke. She was slightly shocked and said, "This is the white jade slab from the Nine Sword Pavilion? In addition to the Nine Sword Pavilion, this place also has it.
There's also a Devil Seed left behind by a True Martial Realm expert and a Sea Serpent's Pearl left behind by a Demon King. What kind of background does this small ancient country in the Western Regions have? How could it be so rich? "
The so-called Devil Seed was similar to the Buddhist Sect's Sarira. It was formed from the lifetime cultivation of a Devil Dao martial artist. It was very precious, even more precious than a Sarira.
This was because only Devil Dao martial artists who cultivated the purest Devil Arts could condense a Devil Seed. For Devil Dao sects like the Magic Road Sect and the Seven Fiend Demon Palace, there was no such thing as condensing a Devil Seed. At present, in the Jianghu, only the Sky Demon Temple had a secret method to condense a Devil Seed. Therefore, no one in the The Nine Hells had any objections to the Sky Demon Temple being called the orthodox Devil Dao.
Moreover, Devil Dao martial artists were not like the Buddhists, who would consider too much and leave behind a Sarira for the sake of their own disciples.
This was especially true for the ancient Devil Dao martial artists. At that time, most of them were independent cultivators. Even the number of sects was pitifully small. Each of them were arrogant and unreasonable, acting alone. As a result, there were even fewer Devil Seeds passed down.
Right now, the Devil Seed was definitely a treasure for the Sky Demon Temple. Ye Changge's eyes turned red and he could not help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise on his stiff face.
As for the Sea Serpent's Pearl, it was needless to say. It was left behind by an Ancient Demon King in the past. The Sea Serpent's Pearl was equivalent to an inner core.
Legend had it that the mist spat out by the Ancient Giant Sea Serpent could even create a huge city. This powerful illusion was not something the Magic Road Sect's martial artists could compare to.
If they obtained the Sea Serpent's Pearl, it would be a priceless treasure for the Magic Road Sect.
As a result, Ye Changge and Yan Ziqing both turned their gazes towards Su Xin at this moment. There was a hint of vigilance on their faces.
They did not have any interest in the white jade slate. Many sects had obtained this thing, but apart from the Zhou Kingdom, no one had managed to research it.
Moreover, the Zhou Kingdom had researched the secret method of longevity. Unfortunately, this thing was too useless. Some martial artists in the underworld were not interested in it. Moreover, even if they were interested, it would be useless. Ji Haodian had played himself to death because of this secret method of longevity. Who would dare to use it to mess around?
Therefore, from the beginning, Ye Changge and Yan Ziqing had been eyeing the Devil Seed and the Sea Serpent's Pearl.
However, the only thing they could not figure out was what was on Su Xin's mind. Did he want the white jade slate or the Sea Serpent's Pearl and the Devil Seed?
If Su Xin wanted the latter, they would inevitably have to fight it out.
Although the imperial court had a good relationship with the Magic Road Sect, and Su Xin had just formed an alliance with the Magic Road Sect, in the face of interests, these things were bullsh * t and could be easily overturned.
Seeing the gazes of the two, Su Xin smiled and said, "Now that there are three things here, why don't the three of us split them directly? Since I've already obtained eight of these white jade slates in the Nine Sword Pavilion, and now there's one more, it proves that this thing is fated with me. I'll take it. What do you think? "
Upon hearing this, Ye Changge and Yan Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. They cupped their hands at Su Xin and put away their respective things.
After putting away the white jade slate, Su Xin did not leave. Instead, he looked at the skeletons placed around the altar.
Previously, the three of them were attracted by the three treasures placed on the altar. In addition, their spiritual senses were suppressed, so they did not have the time to care about other things.
After getting the treasures, Su Xin subconsciously looked around and discovered something unusual on the skeletons.
These skeletons were incomparably huge, obviously left behind by ancient monsters and beasts.
At this moment, on the skeleton, Su Xin discovered some murals that were carved by the ancestors of the ancient times.
In ancient times, there were very few countries that had their own written language. Of course, there were dynasties, but for a place like the Western Region where there were hundreds of small countries, it was already considered good if 10% of the countries had their own written language.
Therefore, most of the small countries in the Western Region in ancient times used pictures to record some information.
Looking at the palace located in the valley, it could be seen that the scale of this small country was not too big. The altar was also very ancient, probably existing when this small country was still a tribe.
At this moment, the pictures on the altar were also very interesting. Su Xin could roughly understand the meaning behind them.
The first picture was a mess of lines in the sky and a group of people praying on the ground.
But if one looked closely, one would find that those people were not actually praying. Their expressions should be that of fear, fear towards an unknown thing. Obviously, this thing was beyond their understanding.
Combining the slightly messy lines and the expressions of the people below, Su Xin closed his eyes and sighed softly. "The sky, cracked!"
That's right, in Su Xin's understanding, this first picture depicted the scene of the sky cracking. But why did the sky crack? Was there a battle between experts that tore the space apart? This was not something that Su Xin could know.
At this moment, hearing Su Xin's voice, Ye Changge and Yan Ziqing also came over to take a look. Both of them were also puzzled. Obviously, they did not understand the meaning of this mural.
In the other mural, the scene of the sky cracking still existed, but there were a lot of scattered things on the ground. Su Xin could not see what they were, but the only thing he could identify was the white jade slab.
The following mural was easy to understand. In this tribe, there was a person sitting next to the white jade slab and comprehended something. Then, he became very strong and became the leader of this tribe. Then, he led the tribe to kill a huge sea serpent and obtained its sea serpent's pearl.
Then, he killed a demonic martial artist with monstrous demonic flames all over his body and obtained his demonic seed. With this power, he was crowned as the emperor and turned the tribe into a small country.
This white jade slab, as the opportunity for the small country to rise, was enshrined in the center of the altar. The demonic seed and the sea serpent's pearl were enshrined together as spoils of war.
Simply put, this series of murals recorded the history of a small tribe that soared to the sky after obtaining the white jade slab and finally established a country.
