Chapter 200: Secrets of the Past
Murong Zhixiu was holding a shining divine sword and was ready for battle. However, at the moment when the divine sword collided with the dragon and phoenix jade seal, he immediately screamed and his soul was shocked. If Gu Chi had not stopped in time, he would have been seriously injured.
"This is perverted! This is a weapon that mainly attacks the soul, and its lethality cannot be underestimated!" Murong Zhixiu grinned.
"Lao Hei, why don't you try to use your black gold coffin to hit me." Gu Chi looked at Lao Hei.
Lao Hei nodded and directly took out the black gold coffin, which smashed forward like a golden mountain.
"when……"
The metallic vibrations echoed for dozens of miles, and the dazzling golden light made the desert look brilliant.
The dragon and phoenix jade seal was plain but heavy and powerful. When used by Gu Chi, it collided with the black gold coffin. The impact of the two immediately made the surrounding space blurred.
"Ow!"
Lao Hei howled in pain. The attack power of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Seal acted on the black gold coffin, and then was transmitted to act on Lao Hei's soul.
It quickly retreated the black gold coffin, staggered back several steps, and took a long time to come back to its senses.
"This thing is truly magical. Not only is its material extremely strong, but it can also attack the soul. Just imagine, when you are fighting with someone, holding this jade seal, any magic weapon or artifact you encounter will be shattered with one hit. At the same time, it can also attack people's souls. Who can fight with you?" Murong Zhixiu exclaimed repeatedly.
Gu Chi also understood that this was a rare treasure, rarely seen in the world and could be considered a rarity.
According to Murong Zhixiu, the areas of consciousness and soul that are not visible on the surface are the most difficult to cultivate. Few people can go very far on this path. The power of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Seal can basically restrain most cultivators.
"A Qigong practitioner from the Qin Dynasty... How on earth did he get here?" Gu Chi thought to herself. If she could find the so-called ancient road, one day, she might really have the chance to take Lao Hei back to her hometown to have a look.
"Since this so-called Great Qin Qigong practitioner can come to our side from another world, it means that all the heavens and myriad worlds are interconnected. If he can come here, then can we also go there?"
"I understand, he might have come from Ziwei." Murong Zhixiu suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Ziwei? Ziwei Emperor Star?" Gu Chi asked.
Murong Zhixiu said, "What Ziwei Emperor Star? I just heard someone say that there is a place called Ziwei among the heavens and myriad worlds."
The Ziwei that Gu Chi understood was the Ziwei Emperor Star, the legendary residence of Ziwei Emperor, one of the Four Emperors of Taoism. Perhaps it was one of the heavens among all the heavens.
Afterwards, they searched the entire palace and temple again to see if there were any other rare treasures, but they found nothing after searching for a long time.
In the early morning, the morning glow fell from the east, and Gu Chi and his companions set out again, trying to get out of the Meteorite Desert.
"Is there really no other way to crack it except relying on luck?" Gu Chi said listlessly.
"There are too many legends about the Meteorite Desert. This place is very evil." Murong Zhixiu said.
According to him, in addition to the fall of a real dragon in the Meteorite Desert, there are other rumors.
"Some people say that this is the boundless desert created by the fire in the Tuoba family's Sky-Burning Furnace." Murong Zhixiu said shockingly.
"The Tuoba family? The Tuoba family of Tuoba Cang? How are they related to their family?" Gu Chi asked in surprise.
"It is rumored that the Yunlong Desert was once a vibrant place. Later, an ancestor of the Tuoba family fought a decisive battle here. During the battle, the Burning Heaven Furnace burned all life on this land and disrupted the laws and order here." Murong Zhixiu said slowly.
"What's the final result?" Gu Chi asked.
"Of course, the ancestor of the Tuoba family survived. That battle had a huge impact, but not many people know the details."
The sun was blazing in the sky, the yellow sand was boiling hot, the heat was unbearable, there was not a trace of cool breeze, it was like being in a red-hot furnace. Even though Gu Chi was different from ordinary people, his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"What details do you know? Tell us in detail." Gu Chi urged. Walking in this vast desert would be a torture if they didn't find a topic of interest to talk about.
On the other side, Lao Hei's mind was full of imagination. This vast desert, which was tens of thousands of miles long, was actually created by a furnace. It was hard to imagine what kind of power it was.
"Who is the one who fought against the Tuoba family's ancestor?"
"I don't know. To be precise, that is not a human, but his strength is definitely comparable to that of a Great Master!" Murong Zhixiu said mysteriously.
Gu Chi was surprised and asked, "It's not a human? Then what on earth is it? A demon or a monster?"
"It's hard to say whether it's a demon or a monster, but it's definitely not a human." Murong Zhixiu didn't know much, because these secrets had no record in history books. He just heard them from hearsay while traveling far and wide.
He was silent for a while before continuing, "Some people say that thing came out of the Immortal Tomb!"
These words were earth-shattering, causing waves to rise in the hearts of Gu Chi and Lao Hei.
"Come out from the Immortal Mausoleum? Are you... sure?" Gu Chi was speechless.
"We don't know how many thousands of miles away from here to the Immortal Tomb. Why would they come here to fight?" Lao Hei wondered.
Murong Zhixiu said, "In the past, the ancestor of the Tuoba family was amazing. He entered the Immortal Mausoleum to forge his own lord's weapon and went on a killing spree inside..."
Xianling, this place is not the first time that Gu Chi has heard of it. It is a forbidden place in the north. It is said that the corpses of immortals are buried there. Even those transcendental forces dare not approach it and only dare to mine spirit stones in the outer area.
"Just when the Tuoba family's ancestor had refined his divine weapon, some forbidden creatures were alerted..."
Murong Zhixiu gestured with his hands and feet. On that day, the ancestor of the Tuoba family had just left the Immortal Mausoleum when a forbidden creature with strength comparable to his was chasing him out.
Gu Chi was horrified. When she was mining in the sixteenth mining area of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, she and Lao Hei had seen the immortal tomb at the end of the earth from afar. Just by looking at it from a distance, she could feel that it was an extremely terrifying place. Perhaps there really were immortal corpses buried there.
Late that night, she and Lao Hei both saw an incredible and horrifying scene.
At the end of the horizon, a vast expanse of divine light fell from the sky, like a silver waterfall in the galaxy. In the endless divine light, corpses dressed in ancient costumes were floating in it. They were so densely packed that there were at least thousands of corpses!
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Deeper in that forbidden land, it seems to be covered with a veil, hazy and extremely mysterious, making people want to set out to explore.
"The person who was chased out from the Immortal Mausoleum and can compete with the Great Master..." Gu Chi felt awe in his heart.
"It's a forbidden creature, not a human." Murong Zhixiu corrected.
"What specific species is it? Could it be that the 'immortal' buried in the Immortal Mausoleum refers to that kind of creature?" Gu Chi asked.
Murong Zhixiu said, "That's true, but some say it's a great demon from ancient times, some say it's a creature from the demon clan, and some say it's an ancient human. There are all kinds of theories, but after all, no one has seen it with their own eyes, so no one can say for sure what kind of species it is."
