Chapter 571: A Mysterious Statue
No burial palace.
Zhang Xuan had successfully dispelled all the spectral entities in this place. The Great Dao advanced another 500 meters.
Leading Luhuang, Zhang Xuan reached the entrance of a concealed chamber.
Adjacent to the chambers entrance was an altar.
Beside the altar stood a peculiar statue. This statue was distinctly odd because it lacked a face. Its visage was flat, as if the sculptor had simply forgotten to include it.
The oddity stemmed from the statue appearing alive; regardless of where one moved, it seemed as though the statues gaze was fixed upon them.
Zhang Xuan, whats with this statue
Upon catching Luhuangs words, Zhang Xuan realized it wasnt his imagination alone.
Signaling Luhuang to remain silent, Zhang Xuan approached the statue cautiously.
Tyrannical Domain!
A cautionary note: Beware the perils that span a myriad of years.
Hey, what material is this?
Zhang Xuan found himself unable to identify it. While it felt like actual flesh, Zhang Xuan was certain the statue couldnt be real.
Zhang Xuan, could it be that Death Monarch Wutian prepared this for his resurrection?
Luhuangs question ignited a spark in Zhang Xuans eyes. Such a possibility truly existed.
Observing Death Monarch Wutians lifelike appearance, it was evident how much he yearned to become truly human.
Nevertheless, Zhang Xuan couldnt help but wonder. For experts of Death Monarch Wutians caliber, transforming into blood-related entities should have been quite simple, so why didnt they?
Was it because they disdained the notion or because they genuinely couldnt accomplish it?
With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan produced a carving knife and began etching onto the statue.
After some time, a face bearing a striking resemblance to Zhang Xuan emerged. It appeared vivid and authentic, its eyes brimming with vitality. It could easily pass for a living person standing there.
Luhuang regarded it with amazement and questioned, Silly bird, this is
Damn, its divine. If I didnt know that this is a statue, I would have thought that this is a living person.
Looking at it, Luhuang couldnt help but shiver. He felt as if he was being stared at by a statue. It was a very creepy feeling. Luhuang felt like he was going to pee in fear. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
This made him not dare to look at the statue. What was even more unbelievable was that the aura emitted by the statue was even stronger than his.
Damn it, where are you going to reason with?
His strength was in the past, and he was also one of the top experts. Otherwise, his master would not have let him follow him.
But now, society developed too quickly. This bit of strength was really not enough.
Fortunately, by Zhang Xuans side, even if he did not cultivate, he could still improve.
Luhuangs eyes rolled, and he decided to settle down on Zhang Xuans shoulder.
Who are you sculpting?
Luhuang asked curiously. This statue was extraordinary to begin with, but after Zhang Xuans carving, it had become even more extraordinary.
Furthermore, this statue was really similar to Zhang Xuan, but different at the same time.
This naturally wasnt Zhang Xuan. Otherwise, with Zhang Xuans means, he wouldnt have made such a low level mistake.
My father!
Zhang Xuan said with a smile. In his heart, he added, In my heart!
Move back?
No wonder he looked so similar to Zhang Xuan. Luhuang did not expect this to be Zhang Xuans fathers appearance. He asked curiously.
No need!
Zhang Xuan looked at the statue with a bitter smile. He was originally a figure that did not exist. It was just the obsession in his heart.
A virtual figure, a figure that he had imagined. Why would he bring it back?
Luhuang gave Zhang Xuan a strange look. He knew that Zhang Xuan was a very sensitive person. He treated people and things around him very well. It could be seen from how much he doted on Little Guo Guo.
However, Zhang Xuan didnt want to take away his fathers statue. It could be seen that there was something wrong with it.
However, Luhuang didnt say anything. He believed that Zhang Xuan must have his own reasons.
Wah!
Luhuang walked into the secret room and exclaimed.
Zhang Xuan looked at the statue and also walked in. He understood why Luhuang was surprised.
Treasures, they were all treasures!
A room full of treasures!
Just by looking at the aura emitted from it, one could tell that it was all good stuff!
Zhang Xuan curiously picked up a sword. His dream in the past was to be a swordsman. When he saw these treasured swords emitting pearls and jewels, he naturally liked them very much.
He held a sword flower in his hand. In the next moment, Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded.
Pa!
A soft sound was heard. Zhang Xuan looked over curiously and was speechless. He saw cracks appearing on the surface of the sword. The sound just now was the sound of the sword breaking.
I
Could it be that it had been too long and was corroded by the Qi of Burial World?
It was a pity. Judging from the Qi of this sword, it was definitely a peerless treasure.
Luhuang
He stared vacantly at the shattered sword, rendered speechless. It was clear that Zhang Xuans Great Dao possessed overwhelming power. The sword wasnt worthy enough to bear the weight of Zhang Xuans Great Dao.
Hey hey, dont touch that!
Observing Zhang Xuans intent to pick up another piece, Luhuang hastily gathered up all the treasures strewn about.
Its not like theyre anything special. Why are you so possessive? An irritated Zhang Xuan chided Luhuang.
Of course they might not be special to you, but for others, these treasures are unattainable for a lifetime!
Just standing there and chatting is easy for you, but its not the same for me. My waist feels stiff!
Luhuang flapped his wings and shivered, the acquisition of so many treasures causing an instant tension in his waist.
Lets move on! Theres nothing valuable left here now!
According to Gou Chen, this place was initially the Chaotic Battlefield, but it had been taken over by the Burial World. Over the years, regardless of how valuable a treasure once was, it had mostly succumbed to corrosion.
Wait for me for a moment. I want to explore this area!
Luhuang rolled his eyes. Zhang Xuan had lofty expectations. Among the treasures they had encountered earlier, there was even a supreme-grade Dao Weaponone on the verge of advancing to the next realm. Yet, in Zhang Xuans words, it wasnt a good thing. What exactly did he consider a good thing?
However, as Luhuang thought about the treasures Zhang Xuan had refined, he was taken aback. Zhang Xuan indeed possessed the authority to utter such words. Nannans small wooden sword was a prime example.
Initially, Luhuang believed it was merely a Dao weapon. But witnessing Nannan use that unassuming wooden sword to fatally wound a Great Taoist Master, he realized its simplicity was deceiving.
Later, seeing Nannan utilize the same wooden sword to eliminate a Peak of the Great Tao warrior, Luhuang acknowledged his own limited knowledge.
The wooden sword in Nannans possession was highly likely an Emperor Weapon. The protective vest he wore only bolstered this claim. Were it not for the vest, Luhuang might have met his end at his masters hands.
The vest could even absorb part of a Heavenly King warriors assault. This alone indicated its extraordinary nature. Luhuang even harbored suspicions that Zhang Xuans creation was more than a simple Emperor Weapon.
You curious bird, why are you staring at me like that?
Observing Luhuangs fixed gaze, Zhang Xuan inquired.
Im contemplatingonce weve vanquished Death Monarch Wutianhow will the other Death Monarchs in the vicinity react? Might they unite to eliminate us?
Zhang Xuan was momentarily taken aback by this suggestion, then his enthusiasm surged. Brilliant! Why didnt I think of this? Lets seek out those individuals!
Luhuang was speechless.
