Several days later, Yu Dajiang and Long Daisen left a few craftsmen in the workshop and boarded the flying ship to return to the inner layer.
However, the flying ship did not return directly to Yujing. Instead, after entering the inner layer, it headed toward the northwest of the Bingyun Continent.
Master Craftsman Long looked down through the melted cabin wall. Below him was the land of thousands of ravines and enormous fissures. The earth was undulating and wrinkled, and one could see that on the highlands, there were a few garrisons. Above them, there were scarlet flags that fluttered for identification. Each flag was painted with the pattern of a cicada's wing.
After looking for a while, he asked Yu Dajiang, who was sitting in front of him, "Where are we going?"
Yu Dajiang picked up the porcelain teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself and Long Daisen. He took a sniff of the tea and said, "We don't know what that place was called in the past, but now it's called 'Double Sea'."
"Double Sea?"
Long Daisen heard this strange name and glanced outside again. At this time, his eyes suddenly widened. He could see that the mounds were actually carved or piled up by people. Although they were severely eroded, he could vaguely make out that they were figures of people prostrating on the ground with their backs to the sky and their heads bowed.
At first, he did not think much of it, but after realizing this, he looked around. As the flying ship moved forward, almost all of the things in his line of sight were similar. They were all facing the same direction, and it was very shocking.
He could not help but ask, "What are these things?"
Yu Dajiang picked up the teacup and blew on it. He took a small sip and said, "It's just a historical site left behind by a certain era."
Long Daisen thought for a while and said, "Are they worshipping some EsGod?"
Yu Dajiang gestured to the front and said, "Look over there."
Long Daisen looked over and saw that it was a ravine that looked like a dry river. It meandered forward, and at the far end of the ravine, there were two tall stone statues facing each other.
Due to the size of the statues, he initially thought that they were two small mountains. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that the statues were two gigantic deities. Both of them were sitting upright with their elbows on their knees and their palms hanging down naturally. Their expressions were very profound.
He couldn't help but praise, "How magnificent."
Yu Dajiang said casually, "That's it. Compared to me, Tianxia, it's not worth mentioning."
Long Daisen smiled. There was no comparison between the two.
After the airship arrived here, the number of garrisons on both sides began to increase. Moreover, one could see airships shuttling back and forth, and armored soldiers flying by from time to time.
After crossing the ravine, he felt that his vision suddenly became higher, and there was a drop of several kilometers. The ground seemed to have sunk, and an endless stretch of dry seabed appeared. There were clear waves on the seabed.
On the dry seabed, there were many jade-white cocoons. There were dozens of airships painted with mysterious cicada wing patterns, and they were anchored in the surroundings.
One could also see that under the surveillance of armored soldiers, at least ten thousand natives were braving the scorching sun and wearing Tianxia -style sunhats. They were using tools like pickaxes and shovels to dig something. Huge cranes hung down and lifted the boulders, and the excavated soil and rocks were dragged away in an orderly manner along the paved tracks.
Long Daisen was puzzled. "What are they digging for? Why are they using manpower to dig? Don't they need to create things? "
The Tenki-in Hall had all kinds of excavated creations, enough to expand a huge underground space in a short period of time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build so many underground garrisons.
Yu Dajiang did not directly answer him, but said, "According to the literature, in the last era, this place was still a vast ocean. At that time, an ancient god came here and used his divine power to drain the seawater. Then, he drove countless believers to dig here."
Long Daisen frowned. "Spiritual energy can't be used here?"
Creations were essentially living creatures. Most of the creations that were more useful were those that had been stimulated with spiritual power, such as the flying boat. If spiritual power could not be used, it would be better to directly use manpower and livestock.
At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. "Ancient god? Did you find an Ipar in the eastern courtyard? "
Yu Dajiang said, "From what we can see, the two seem to have some connection. They could also be relatives, but there is no proof. But this is not important, they have disappeared. After this ancient god came, he used a large number of natives to dig here, but in the end, he did not seem to get what he wanted."
Long Daisen's mind moved. He looked at Yu Dajiang's expression. "It seems that there is a secret down there. Is this what we are going to see?"
Yu Dajiang said calmly, "Brother Dragon, don't be impatient. You will see what you want to know today."
Long Daisen looked at him and said, "Brother Yu, you have kept such a big secret."
Yu Dajiang said, "Brother Dragon, I just found out about this not long ago. Didn't I come to tell you? I have only been here once before."
As the flying boat gradually approached the excavation site, two Creator soldiers flew over. There was also a Daoist cultivator watching from behind. It seemed that he was here to ask routine questions.
After Yu Dajiang came forward and talked with them for a while, he was allowed to pass.
Although he saw a Daoist cultivator here, Long Daisen was not surprised. Such a large-scale movement must be supported by some Xuanfu in the upper continent.
The most likely place to do such a thing was the Bingyun upper continent in the south, but it could also be the Liangchuan upper continent in the west. Although the Youyuan upper continent in the southeast was close, because it was the northern Yujing Ping Fan, it received more attention. Therefore, it might be the least.
At this time, the flying boat was slowly descending, but at the moment when it was about to land, he suddenly said, "Brother Dragon, sit tight."
Long Daisen was startled. He subconsciously grasped the armrest. At the moment when the flying boat was about to touch the ground, the spiritual light suddenly faded and it hit the soft sand. The flying boat shook violently.
Yu Dajiang stood up and walked to the cabin door that had been opened before landing. As he walked, he put on a hat to block the dust and said, "Brother Dragon, follow me."
Long Daisen also stood up and put on his hat. He followed Yu Dajiang out and under the guidance of a Daoist cultivator, they walked down an excavated underground hole. After walking through a long slope, they went up the elevator and slowly went down with the sound of the winch.
He looked down. The bottom was bottomless. Every now and then, there was a bright pearl inlaid there.
Master Craftsman Yu said: "In this place, there is a force that obstructs spirituality, only a small number of armored soldiers and middle-level cultivators with relatively high cultivation can use their own power here, but it also consumes a lot of energy. However, this situation will change very soon"
The journey was surprisingly long. They had to change elevators a few times, and during that time, they took a few secret pills that helped them breathe and provided them with energy. It took them nearly two summers to reach the bottom.
Long Daisen looked up. Below them was a huge and boundless hole. Densely packed Flying Creation Lamps were floating in the air, illuminating this place like the Milky Way. It was almost as if it was daytime. Under the light, they could see the skeletons of huge creatures buried in the soil.
He felt that this scene was familiar. He hesitated and said, "Could this place also be …"
Yu Dajiang said, "That's right. The surface is the sea, and the underground is also the sea. It's just that it dried up in the last epoch. "
Long Daisen muttered, "No wonder it's called 'Double Sea'." At this moment, he reacted and looked at the Flying Creation Lamps. "We can use spirituality here again?"
Yu Dajiang said, "Originally, it's not possible. However, I, Tianxia, have my own methods."
The Daoist cultivator said, "Both of you, the journey down is not short. I will use my mana to send you two over."
Yu Dajiang cupped his hands and said, "Sorry for the trouble."
The Daoist cultivator rolled up his sleeves and a cloud of brocade appeared. It carried the two of them and flew up. After a hundred breaths, they stopped in front of a huge platform that was obviously built in Tianxia's style. This platform was completely built with solid jade and mysterious gold. Outside, there were densely packed Daoist talismans floating and flickering. It was as if they were resisting some kind of power.
After Yu Dajiang thanked the Daoist cultivator, he led Long Daisen into the entrance of the platform. When Long Daisen entered, he realized that there was an ancient temple in the middle of the platform. The platform built by Tianxia was like a cover that completely enveloped this place.
Yu Dajiang said, "It's right in front."
At this moment, a group of armored soldiers who were in charge of guarding the entrance of the temple came forward. After exchanging a few words with them, they lined up on both sides and walked with them, faintly protecting them.
The group stepped on the ancient stone steps and walked into the interior of the temple. Long Daisen finally could not help but ask, "What exactly is hidden here?"
Yu Dajiang pondered for a moment and felt that it was time to talk about it. He said, "We found three ancient mystical creatures from the previous era here. From the looks of it, it's very likely that they've reached that level …"
Long Daisen's heart could not help but skip a beat. He revealed a look of horror on his face. "Alive?"
Yu Dajiang glanced at him and said, "Don't worry. These mystical Lingdu are in some kind of deep slumber. We asked the Daoist cultivator to make a judgment. If there are no special changes, we don't have to worry about them waking up for at least a thousand years."
At this moment, he pointed to the surroundings and said, "These are the paintings that depict these ancient creatures. Those who specialize in naturalism might be interested in them. We don't have to pay attention to these."
Long Daisen looked over. Under the illumination of the Flying Creation Lamp, the murals on them became very clear.
The murals depicted creatures that were half-human and half-lizard. Their lower body had four thick and strong limbs that were used for crawling. Their upper body was upright and strong like a human's body. Their back and shoulders were covered in fine scales. Their chest and abdomen were painted with bright patterns of two colors, vermilion and blue.
Males were mostly vermilion and had strong bodies. Females were blue and their bodies showed a kind of gentle beauty. Their faces were also similar to humans. On the murals, men and women often appeared in pairs.
He said, "Does this thing have a name?"
Yu Dajiang said, "I don't know what they are called in the literature. We call them 'Hornless People'."
The two of them talked as they walked. Amidst the orderly and firm footsteps of the armored soldiers on both sides, they arrived in front of a half-collapsed tall stone door. This stone door was at least ten feet tall. However, it had obviously been violently damaged. The original rubble should have been cleared away.
Long Daisen noticed that there were huge depressions in front of the stone door. Those looked like … footprints?
The group walked through the broken half of the stone door. This gap was wide enough for them. Even ten people could walk side by side.
There were similar footprints inside, but it was obvious that they had been filled in.
After walking for a while, Yu Dajiang stopped and raised his head. "Look over there."
Long Daisen raised his head and looked. He couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression. He saw three huge creatures embedded in a thick stone wall that was more than ten feet tall. They seemed to have been sealed in, but they also seemed to be one with the stone wall to begin with. They were grayish-white in color.
Their appearance was extremely similar to the murals outside, but the murals and the actual objects were two different things. At this moment, even if he was looking at them from afar, he could feel a strong pressure from their huge bodies and their statue-like faces, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Yu Dajiang waited for him to calm down before saying, "Not only did we find these mystical creatures here, but we also found the corpse of an ancient god.
We asked some natural history scholars, and according to their inferences, this might be a creature from the Fourth or Fifth Epoch. Most of them exist in the Fourth Epoch. They might be existences that predate the ancient gods and were once the main opponents of the ancient gods.
These ancient Heretic Gods snatched the right to rule over the inner and outer layers from their hands. The ancient Heretic God that came back then might have come to continue sealing these things, or perhaps he wanted to obtain something, but in the end, he didn't succeed and fell here. "
Long Daisen calmed down and asked, "How do you plan on using these things?"
Yu Dajiang said, "We've been trying to use these things as references to create similar mystical creatures." He emphasized, "Only mystical creatures that belong to us."
Long Daisen fell silent for a moment before asking, "Will Xuanting allow it?"
Yu Dajiang smiled and said, "At the very least, we didn't use anyone. We're just studying some mystical creatures. Why would Xuanting stop us?"
Long Daisen asked anxiously, "How's the progress?"
Yu Dajiang said, "In the past, our focus was on the Creator Warriors and … In short, we couldn't divert too much of our strength in this direction. But now that the higher-ups are pushing for Creation, we can take this opportunity to do something here."
He added, "It's just that there are still some problems in terms of techniques that haven't been resolved. I heard that the An family's Little Lang obtained many mystical techniques related to the ancient gods. Unfortunately, he only took out a portion of them. If he could take them all out for me to use, many of the problems might be resolved. "
