Chapter 471
/*unedited*/
Due to the strong pressure they felt, the ship's crew and the rcenaries were unable to hold on and fainted except for one person.
The once foggy canyon is now slowly clearing up. And Shin Jiao can see that to the side of the cliff a large crevice was ford. From the looks of it, it was just recently that the rocks and the ground in that area were destroyed and a landslide happened.
And judging from what Shin Jiao has heard from the other rcenaries who have always co this way, the dragon rampage didn't happen before, so it seems that the reason for everything is this.
Shin Jiao can now vaguely see the four figures with his own eyes and the black orb in the middle. With only using his eyes, he didn't feel any pressure at all.
"Hmm… it seems that this only affects cultivators." Shin Jiao muttered after observing the situation.
As he neared the location, Shin Jiao saw a place where he can land the warship. With the strong pressure coming from the four people, he is sure that those cultivators would not be able to wake up soon.
Shin Jiao flew up and landed on a platform after docking the warship on the side of the huge crevice. It was a small cave-like hole that seems to be enough to fit the whole warship. Even two warships can fit that cave-like hole.
As he scanned the place, he noticed a strange carving on the wall of the cliff, the carvings pictures a scene where a large person is standing on a half-circular object which seems to be a planet, while on his side are a number of won in different races.
When Shin Jiao saw this, an idea was imdiately donned into his mind.
"Is this a picture of religion or sothing?" he thought as he observes the carving.
Suddenly he saw the eyes of the man moving. This made Shin Jiao a bit surprised and curious at the sa ti.
When he was about to approach the giant carving, a figure suddenly appears from the direction of the black sphere in the middle of the four figures.
"Hello, young one… Welco to the Tianji sect's Heavenly Path. I am the consciousness embodint of the forr Tianji sect master." The man said in a cold and lifeless tone.
When Shin Jiao saw the semi-transparent figure of the man, he thought that it was a spirit. But it seems that it's like an AI program from the past.
"This junior greets senior… I am called Si Ji, I'm just a normal person roaming this world." Shin Jiao said.
"Hmm… it seems. However, to say that you are a normal person is a bit of an understatent, don't you think?" the man said his tone suddenly changing.
Shin Jiao just showed a faint smile.
"Well, since you are here, let tell you sothing about the Tianji sect." the man said as he turns towards the black sphere.
Then suddenly Shin Jiao saw everything around him change. It's like he was transported into a barren world devoid of life.
"The Tianji sect has existed in this world for a very long ti. When this world was created and was filled with life, the Supre Deity secretly created a protector for this planet. And that is the Tianji sect… However, as ti went by and the supre Deity stopped visiting this plane, the Tianji Sect also began to decline. Until one day, the four powerful sect's great elders receive the news of the passing of the Tianji sect's 1000th sect master. In vying to be the next sect master the four great elders fought a great battle that almost destroyed the whole planet asunder. But it all ended in a tie, so a great being decided to intervene. But that great being has decided to trap the four great elders of the sect due to their inability to reach a compromise. And so the great being, the Dragon of destiny decided to sacrifice its life to trap the four powerful humans for eternity." The man said while Shin Jiao saw the images changing according to his story.
He noticed that those four statues look exactly the sa as the four great elders of the Tianji sect. Shin Jiao was amazed at this discovery.
"The dragon of destiny upon sacrificing itself left its two offspring unattended and fends for themselves…"
Shin Jiao then saw two small and cute dragons, one is black and the other is gold. When he saw this, a fragnt of his mory surfaces in his mind and suddenly knew that the small black dragon might be the one who is slumbering inside his dantian.
"With the sealing of the four elders, the Tianji Sect slowly withered down and died. To prevent anyone from helping these four people, the dragon of destiny uses their own heartbeats to deter those cultivators who would dare enter. Hence the ti has passed and millions of years have already gone. And now, this place is once again discovered… by you."
"So you an, this place should be off-limits to anyone, right?" Shin Jiao said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"If the four great elders of the Tianji sect will escape their imprisonnt, then this world will be plunged into chaos once again."
"Okay, I got it… however, what about that thing?" Shin Jiao suddenly pointed at the carvings on the wall.
"Ah… this is the Tianji Sect's heavenly path… in ancient tis, going to the other plane is easy. One should reach the nascent realm first to be able to survive the void. And through this Heavenly Path, a person can reach the immortal plane."
"Really?!" Shin Jiao was a bit surprised.
Then an idea and a question enter his mind.
"If I enter this path, will I even t that Deity from earth?" he thought, but he shook his head as he has more important things to do right now.
"Senior, do you want to protect this place and prevent others from entering, right? This is the reason why you have approached ." when Shin Jiao says these words, the man's expression change into a smile.
"You are indeed right."
Then suddenly, the man's expression changed.
With an alard face, he shifted his gaze toward the slowly decimating fog.
"It seems that there is another one who made it this far. But he is barely holding himself." The man said.
Following the main's gaze, Shin Jiao saw a gray huge dragon with a person on its back. That person was the clan head of the Lao clan.
His disheveled appearance made him look like soone who ca out of a huge war. His armor is already torn and his robe is in tatters. His figure is bathed in blood. With one look, one can say that the man is in a poor state, plus as he approaches the area, his consciousness and dantian is being bombarded by strong energy coming from the beating of the four Saint immortal's hearts.
However, when he saw Shin Jiao's figure and the warship inside the cave, his eyes were imdiately filled with a burning hatred.
"It was you! You are the one who destroyed my Lao clan! You are the one who killed all of my kin and my… my family!" he shouted in rage.
Ming Lao tried to command the dragon under him to fly forward. But no matter how he tries, the dragon would not budge. In fact, it has a look of fear in its four glowing eyes.
"Cowards! If you won't move, then die!" he shouted as he suddenly uses his Qi to cover his hand as a long sword appears.
Then with a swing, the long sword suddenly extended cutting the huge dragon's head from its neck. Then Ming Lao flew towards the place where Shin Jiao is standing.
Watching the master of the Lao clan, Shin Jiao just stood there and see how he can approach the area.
The nearer he got to the place where Shin Jiao is, the greater the pressure that Ming Lao felt. He knew that before he can even land to the side of that cliff, his consciousness would have already faded. But he is not able to swallow the insult and the resentnt in his heart.
He then took out a few talisman and crystal ball from his spatial tool and directed his gaze at the four life-like statues. He then directed them towards the four.
Shin Jiao upon seeing this imdiately wanted to rush and stop Ming Lao, but the man beside him raised his hand and stopped Shin Jiao.
"If it's that easy to destroy these things, it would not have lasted for millions of years and would have already been destroyed even before where many powerful cultivators roam the land."
"But it has already been millions of years, right? Is the pressure still that strong?" Shin Jiao's question seems to have doused the man's confidence.
Without a second word from him, Shin Jiao imdiately appears in the platform and waves his hand in the air.
However, before he can do anything, he soon found that the Qi he has used was absorbed by the black orb. Shin Jiao imdiately understood sothing from this event.
Shifting his gaze to the struggling figure, he decided to trust in the man's confidence.
"I guess, I could just protect it after one shot." He muttered.
The man beside him showed a smile with renewed confidence in his expression. But of course, Shin Jiao also discovered sothing, the trap is not perfect and it has a loophole.. If soone discovers it, then it would be fatal.
