Chapter 786: Chapter 261: “The cri lies in the present age, the rit lasts a thousand autumns!
In the deep underground passage of the back mountain of Chao Tian Sect’s small world.
Chen Qiu didn’t activate his movent technique, rely walking at a normal pace. After all, it was an unknown boundary, and it was wise to be cautious. He definitely didn’t want to stumble at this crucial mont.
He had complete control over every plant and tree in this small world.
It could be said that even if a single dicinal herb withered within this world, he would know if he wished to. That was the extent of his control—absolute, much like his Lifebound Treasure. However, he knew nothing about the tunnel deep underground.
It was as if…
A person understood their body well but could never see their own anus; this tunnel was like that hidden nook, beyond his scope of detection.
Soon—
He finally arrived in front of a heavy iron gate, this was the gate Xiong Gao had ntioned. Without lingering, he examined the material of the door and found nothing special; it wasn’t even a Spiritual Treasure, just an ordinary iron gate, albeit thicker.
This reduced the likelihood of terrifying beasts being hidden below. Such a mundane iron gate could at most stop those at Foundation Establishnt, but once one’s Cultivation reached Golden Core, such a gate could not block their path.
Having walked about thirty yards—
Xiong Gao, who had been following, suddenly said, “Master, last ti we ca up to this point and didn’t go any further.”
“Mm.”
Chen Qiu nodded without saying much, continuing forward. He could see Little Wolf’s paw prints deeper in the tunnel, aning Little Wolf had ventured even further. And so, after almost a thousand breaths—
The view suddenly opened up.
Before him lay a Green Stone Square, as if the winding, birth canal-like tunnel had abruptly co to an end!
The ground was covered in green stones, and the curved walls around were also built with green stones.
There was even a stone stele in the center of the square with words that should have been engraved on it, but now the inscriptions had been completely destroyed.
“This…”
Standing in Green Stone Square, Chen Qiu looked at the scene before him, montarily startled. This scene… was far too familiar; he had seen it countless tis!
This was exactly like the Green Stone Square in the Heavenly Pride preliminary screening Secret Realm!
He had prepared to join Tianjiao Road, but before Tianjiao Road began, he had already broken through to Nascent Soul and was not permitted to enter. When Tianjiao Road opened in Xuantian Continent, he didn’t go; he wasn’t too concerned about who seized the lead in Tianjiao Road.
anwhile, in Da Xia Country.
Deep beneath the Boundless Icefield, there was a similar underground passage leading to three Green Stone Squares; remnants of Chao Tian Sect. He initially thought these remnants were modeled after Heavenly Pride Road for assessnt purposes.
In his life as “Jian Yi,” he had lived there for quite so ti.
In his life as “State Preceptor,” he had kept Little Wolf caged there.
And in this life as “Chen Qiu,” having taken the opportunities of the previous eight lives, he too tread upon the Green Stone Square beneath Boundless Icefield, taking the ssages left by “Jian Yi” and “State Preceptor”‘s Little Wolf.
But…
What he hadn’t expected was to find another Green Stone Square here, nearly identical to those previous squares, with not a single change.
The only difference—
Was that the stone steles in the center of those previous squares all had the number of the trial engraved, while this Green Stone Square’s stele…
“…”
Chen Qiu’s brows furrowed slightly as he strode forward to the stele in the center of Green Stone Square, squatted down, and scrutinized it closely. There should have been inscriptions, but they had been obliterated by soone. It wasn’t the work of Little Wolf; the marks looked very old, probably existing for at least ten thousand years.
He then scanned the surroundings of Green Stone Square.
There were no special signs.
Only several rows of characters were engraved on the wall.
–
“The sect is dood to destruction today, it is fated.”
“Heaven forsakes us, not a fault born of war.”
“I am the last Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect. Today marks the eighth thousand seven hundred and sixtieth year since Chao Tian Sect has been imprisoned here. Chao Tian Sect has been confined for far too long, the world must have nearly forgotten the na of Chao Tian Sect.”
“Heavenly Prison restricts heaven and earth, making it impossible to reach Nascent Soul or unleash attacks of Nascent Soul strength.”
“After successive generations of Sect Masters’ inheritance and research, Chao Tian Sect has finally discovered a thod to break this imprisonnt.”
“Therefore—”
“Chao Tian Sect has expended the efforts of the entire sect to set up this faux Heavenly Pride Road…”
–
These familiar lines, he had seen them countless tis in Da Xia Country, including on the Green Stone Square beneath the Boundless Icefield, where the sa lines were engraved on the walls.
There, the character for “Sin” triggered the chanism; pressing it would open a concealed chamber behind the wall.
The sa should be true here.
If things had gone as expected, Little Wolf had already entered. Chen Qiu noticed a wolf paw mark on the character for “Sin.”
After standing in silence for a long while, Chen Qiu stepped forward and pressed the character. As rumblings ca from behind the wall, a narrow hidden chamber slowly appeared before him. The chamber was in disarray.
Empty porcelain bottles littered the floor.
He picked up one of the bottles from the ground, examining it closely in his hand, only to see several lines of text at the bottom of the bottle.
“Significantly increases demon beasts’ Cultivation. Must be tabolized for at least three months after consuming one pill, otherwise, the body will certainly explode.”
“The dicinal power is extrely potent, use with caution.”
There were several hundred porcelain bottles in total, unclear how many Pills they held, but now they were all empty. Clearly, Little Wolf had swallowed all these Pills, and it was a miracle he didn’t instantly explode. However, his body must now be on the brink of collapsing.
