What a powerful energy! To think that the Hyderabad Mountains would be hiding such a terrifying energy! This is simply inconceivable!
Wang Chong was stunned by the ripples of energy coming from the ground. These spatial ripples made him think back to when Qutaybah had cut open space with his sword. He sensed that this energy was connected to another mysterious space-time, and the energy he felt before him was probably only a tiny portion of the energy that leaked out from that world.
At this moment, Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, many thoughts flitting through it.
Wang Chong suddenly recalled some distant memories. When that calamity erupted, if he remembered correctly, the otherworldly invaders had crossed over from three different places. One of them, Wang Chong clearly remembered, was near Sindhu, and not far from the Hyderabad Mountains.
But it had been too long, and Wang Chong had never been to Sindhu before, so there were many things that he could not confirm, making it impossible for him to deduce. If that legend was true, could it be that the spatial door was not somewhere else, but in the Hyderabad Mountains? But why would this energy appear beneath the Hyderabad Mountains, and what connection did it have with the otherworldly invaders?
Wang Chong stood motionless in a daze. After some time, Wang Chong suddenly had the centipede monster fly toward a place where the energy was concentrated. Wang Chong could sense that this energy was the closest to him.
"Stop!"
Without any warning, an elderly and deep voice resounded in Wang Chong's mind, imbued with extreme solemnity and warning.
“！！！”
Wang Chong was greatly surprised by this voice.
"Who is it?"
This place was more than one thousand five hundred meters below the surface, and the surroundings were pitch-black and devoid of air. It was simply impossible for anyone to reach this place.
"Hurry and stop! Young man, that's not a place you should touch! "
The voice continued, sounding extremely solemn.
"Buzz!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong sent out a vast wave of Psychic Energy that spread to every corner of his surroundings. But even with his supreme Psychic Energy abilities, Wang Chong had not discovered anything. This was simply unbelievable.
"High Priest!"
Wang Chong blurted out.
No one could surpass Wang Chong in the field of Psychic Energy, and now, this person had projected himself into his mind without Wang Chong noticing. In all of Sindhu, Wang Chong could only think of one High Priest. Other than him, there was no one else who could do this.
When the words' High Priest 'left his mouth, there was a moment of silence in the underground world. But very quickly, the voice sounded again.
"Young man, hurry and leave that place. That place is not for anyone to touch!"
After a few moments of thought, Wang Chong glanced in the direction of that tide of energy and immediately began to ascend. Although this person had never stated his identity, Wang Chong's previous silence was enough to tell the truth.
"High Priest, this junior is the Young Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong. I request an audience!"
Several dozen zhang from the bottom of the Hyderabad Mountain Range, Wang Chong suddenly stopped. Using his Mind Energy, a thought swept out in all directions like a wave, attempting to send the news out in this way.
Although he had failed to find the High Priest's true body, Wang Chong had not come up empty-handed. After analyzing the situation, Wang Chong had a rough idea of where the High Priest was, but he still had not been able to pinpoint his exact location.
Wang Chong stood motionless as he waited for the High Priest's answer. His surroundings were quiet, and all was darkness. Everything was unknown in this underground region. Wang Chong quietly stood there, awaiting the High Priest's answer. There were no ripples in the surroundings. The entire world seemed to have stopped. It seemed like only a moment, but also like countless moments. Finally, Wang Chong heard a long sigh.
"Haaah!"
The voice from before spoke once more. This long sigh was suffused with boundless meaning. Wang Chong had never sensed such complex emotions from a person's sigh. At this moment, Wang Chong felt like he was looking at a person's entire life.
"Come! I know you've been looking for me! "
The voice disappeared immediately after it finished speaking. However, in just a moment, a faint "candlelight" suddenly appeared in Wang Chong's senses. The faint aura was not very strong, but it gave off a feeling that no matter how far away it was, this aura would not be weakened at all.
"Finally found it!"
Wang Chong was overjoyed. He immediately controlled the centipede monster and headed towards the faint aura.
"There's a crack in the rock to your right. Come in from there!"
Just a few zhang away from the bottom of the Hyderabad Mountain Range, the High Priest's voice sounded again. Wang Chong looked carefully and indeed found a crack that was as wide as a person.
Wang Chong took a deep breath and left the centipede monster's body. He quickly entered the crack in the rock. The crack looked narrow from the outside, but once he entered, it became much wider.
"It's a natural underground passageway!"
Wang Chong thought to himself. Like a leopard, he swiftly moved about in the cave.
The walls of the cave were winding, but it was very wide. Wang Chong followed it and quickly climbed up.
About ten minutes later, Wang Chong had climbed seven to eight hundred meters. Even Wang Chong was secretly surprised by the length and depth of the crack. Just as Wang Chong was wondering how deep the crack was, the High Priest's voice suddenly sounded again.
"We're here. Come in!"
Wang Chong raised his head and finally saw a huge metal door in front of him. There was a luminous pearl embedded in the top of the metal door, emitting a faint light.
Wang Chong was about to push the door open and enter when he suddenly saw a strange scratch on the metal door. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately stopped.
"These are … words!"
Using the dim light of the luminous pearl above the metal door, Wang Chong carefully examined it and discovered that the words were different from any of the modern languages. These words looked extremely ancient.
"Congratulations, host. You have discovered ancient Harappa words from over three thousand years ago. Host is rewarded with 100 points of Destiny Energy!"
At this moment, the Stone of Destiny's voice suddenly rang out in Wang Chong's mind.
"Ancient Harappa?"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Wang Chong's body trembled, his heart filled with shock. He had never thought that this seemingly unremarkable iron door would be engraved with such ancient characters.
"Stone of Destiny, attempt to use the Riddle of Destiny to translate the words on the metal door."
Wang Chong's heart thumped, and he immediately spoke without hesitation.
"Request denied! Host's level is not high enough, and there is not enough information. Unable to translate! "
At almost the same time, the Stone of Destiny's voice rang out in his mind.
"Still not enough?"
Wang Chong sighed inwardly and could only give up.
Bang! A moment later, Wang Chong pushed open the metal door and stepped inside.
Wang Chong had imagined all sorts of scenarios in which he would meet with the Sindhu High Priest, and he had also imagined what sort of scene lay behind this metal door. But he had never imagined that this would be a dead end!
Behind the metal door was the same pitch-black and filthy cave wall, its surface uneven and craggy. Other than Wang Chong, there was nothing else in the room.
There weren't even any furniture or chairs. It seemed like a trap.
"High Priest?!"
Wang Chong probed.
But all was quiet, and the High Priest's voice came to a sudden halt. Wang Chong called out several times and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
When he had left the body of the centipede monster, he had taken in a full breath of air, but climbing up and opening his mouth several times had consumed most of the air in his lungs.
Without enough air, not even an Imperial Great General like Wang Chong could survive seven or eight hundred meters underground for long. Wang Chong's breathing slowly became ragged, and he felt like he was about to suffocate.
Just when Wang Chong felt that something was wrong and was about to give up and turn to leave, a voice rang out in his ear.
"Endure a little longer!"
Wang Chong was still in a daze, not understanding what the Sindhu High Priest was saying. In the next moment, the mountain rocks and powder above their heads rustled, and countless pieces of gravel and dust fell down. At this moment, the mountain began to tremble. Hwooo! A gust of air blew in from right above Wang Chong's head.
Sensing this fresh air, Wang Chong immediately took in a deep breath, his mind reeling in shock.
He was currently extremely deep into the ground. If not for the centipede monster, not even an Imperial Great General would have been able to get here. Yet the Sindhu High Priest had been able to instantly guide the air through the cracks in the mountain. This was a terrifying ability.
"Many thanks!"
No matter how slow Wang Chong was, he could tell that this was the High Priest's doing. If the High Priest wanted him dead, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"You shouldn't have come here!"
The cave was empty, but the High Priest's voice rang out in Wang Chong's mind.
"Is the High Priest referring to the energy underground or the matter I asked the substitute High Priest about?"
Wang Chong calmly said. This place was covered in the tough rocks of Hyderabad. If the High Priest was unwilling, he would find it very difficult to force him out.
"You shouldn't have come to either!"
The Sindhu High Priest sighed, his voice ancient.
"You've read the Book of Paimon, so you should know that the more you know, the more dangerous it is for you!"
Wang Chong's face was calm, but his eyebrows rose. Just as he had guessed, nothing could escape the High Priest's eyes, even though he was deep underground.
"There are some things that cannot be escaped. The sun will rise and the moon will set. This is inescapable. "
Rather than blindly running away, it was better to take the initiative to find out the truth. At the very least, he wouldn't panic when disaster approached.
