Chapter 1319 - 667
Yang Ze was indeed correct, countless worlds concealed turbulent currents, and the three-month deadline was also quite pressing for him. Fortunately, after he consumed the Dao Fruit, he gained the chance to traverse three thousand small worlds, so when it comes to understanding the origin and displacement of worlds, few can match him.
After the new year, the situation turns unfavorable, and he cannot let her face it alone. He must rush back as soon as possible.
"Is Yin Jiu You beside you, that big Yin person..."
Before she finished speaking, Changtian straightforwardly said: "Do not worry, he won’t gain anything good from me. In comparison, I am more worried about you. After being trapped, I had a sudden impulse, and I’m afraid trouble will fall upon you. Once your health improves, hurry back to Hidden Stream."
She responded with a sound and took the opportunity to look around while being a carefree wanderer. This was her first time seeing the architecture of the Barbarians, and in surprise, she said: "The buildings here are much more rugged than I imagined."
Despite the overgrown weeds and deserted paths, the grandeur of the buildings here could still allow her to automatically envision the past splendor of the Royal City.
The two communicated through Divine Thought, so no matter how long their conversations were, in their minds it was only a matter of moments. At this moment, Changtian had arrived at the core area, where the architectural layout differed much from the Flesh Furnace, yet it was not difficult for him to identify, because within the range of his eyesight stood the second tallest and second most luxurious building, and on the sediment-stained wooden pillar at the entrance, was a whole and complete Black Dragon Head!
This Dragon Head was refined using special techniques; the skin, densely covered in fine scales, was tightly adhered to the bones, appearing wind-dried, making the eye sockets appear deeply hollowed. Yet, despite countless years, it had not turned into a skeleton, showing its formidable presence when it was alive.
Without waiting for her to speak, as Changtian passed by this pillar, he casually put the Dragon Head into the Sea Bag.
Ning Xiaoxian: "..." Her Changtian was getting more obedient; indeed, he deeply understood her greedy nature.
The events following need not be elaborated. The reason Ning Xiaoxian dared to enter the inner palace alone was because Chiwen told her that the real Inner Mausoleum did not have set restrictions and traps; how could filth like the Nine Sons Ghost Mother be placed next to the King?
The inner hall Changtian entered was hexagonal in shape, with six large stone walls engraved with copper plates depicting scenes of giant demons and immortals fighting fiercely, each vividly alive with even the facial expressions captured accurately. She raised her head and recognized the demon in the painting; one of them was Changtian’s True Body, Ba Snake, although at that time it was far less massive than today.
Although the lines carved on the screen were rugged, a few strokes depicted the divine essence of battling through the heavens and earth, reflecting the various past experiences of the Barbarians. If someone sinks their mind and gazes intently, these images would link into a series, unfolding directly in the mind, with sounds of battle cries, weeping, and pleading being audible.
This was precisely the effect produced by the extremely skillful painter infusing their brush intent and murderous will into the painting.
As she admired the screen, Changtian did not linger, directly reaching the high platform in the center of the grand hall. Unlike the Fake Tomb, this high platform was shaped to be held in the center by a large Black Dragon Claw, appearing full of dignity and savage aura.
This coffin was indeed different from that in the Fake Tomb, made of pure gold, with intricate and elaborate patterns on its surface, underlaid with platinum wire, and embedded with gemstones, exuding an understated luxury. Above it, at the natural convergence of the dragon claw’s five claws, was set a heart-shaped, fist-sized... diamond.
This diamond was completely transparent, and even in this dim environment, it could not conceal its crystal-clear and translucent beauty. This palace was also the place with the highest concentration of Evil Qi in the entire underground palace, even congealing into substance, at least sixty times the concentration in Chiwen Lake, with foggy vapor as thick as ink swirling in the air, even visible to a mortal’s naked eye, barely bright enough for the light of Merfolk Oil to penetrate.
And before them, the Evil Qi gathered into a cluster, slowly flowing into the transparent Stone Heart as if a hundred rivers flowed into the sea. However, once the black mist was absorbed by the Stone Heart, it vanished without a trace, while the Stone Heart remained as clear as washed.
Is this the Treasure they are seeking?
Sure enough, Changtian manipulated her body to approach it, not taking it with his own hands, but taking out the Tusk, lightly tapping on the dragon claw, and the gemstone was shaken off, wrapped into a silk handkerchief, and subsequently placed into the Sea Bag, the action executed seamlessly.
