Chapter 1159: The Supreme Treasure
Translator: 549690339
The hall that Xia Pingan was in at the moment occupied an area of several square kilometers. It was a huge circular hall, and the circular walls surrounding the hall were hundreds of meters tall. They looked like they were made of gold. On the walls, there were all kinds of pictures of wind, flowers, snow, moon, mountains, people, and strange beasts. Those pictures were not dead, but seemed to be alive. The water in the rivers, lakes, and seas also flowed slowly like mercury, and those people also had all kinds of movements. There were people pushing carts, drinking, plowing, reading, and practicing martial arts. There were all kinds of people. Even the plants on the wall would bloom and wither, and the wind would dance and the willows would move.
The dome of the hall was an endless starry sky. Countless suns, moons, and stars were like dazzling gems embellishing the starry sky, moving slowly.
The floor of the hall was made of a black crystal. Under the crystal, dense runes flowed. Those runes reminded Xia Pingan of the divine runes in the Secret Cultivation Tower that could freeze time.
As a result, the entire hall was changing quietly at almost every moment. Everything in the universe was presented in the hall. The aura of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth pervaded the hall, making people feel awe-inspiring.
At the very center of the hall was a tall square altar. There were eight floors in total, and each floor was covered by a light curtain of different colors. Countless divine runes floated on the light curtain, isolating the entire altar from the outside world. On the topmost floor of the altar was a dazzling treasure chest that was emitting seven-colored light.
In the entire hall, the only thing that could be taken away was the seven-colored treasure box on the eight-story altar.
” That treasure chest is the most precious treasure in the Secret Realm of Youming City. No one knows what’s inside the treasure chest, but according to the legend of the Flood Dragon God Cave, as long as you get it, your divination skills will reach the peak, and you will be able to master the supreme mysteries of time, space, and the evolution of all things in the universe. This is a powerful ability that even gods envy. With this ability, you will be invincible when you ignite the divine fire in the future. If you enter the Central-polar Shrine, you will have a better chance to get a divine weapon of the Great Path like the Chaotic Origin Extreme Lock!”
The voice came from the lowest level of the eight-story altar. Under the red light screen, an old man with a head full of silver hair and a total of 17 holy halos sat cross-legged on the altar as he looked at Xia Pingan.
Even though the elder was sitting cross-legged, he was still like a mountain. His body also had the aura of an emperor. The halo behind his head that represented the number of divine flames lit made Xia Ping ‘an’s heart tremble. This was a level 17 Supreme God Realm expert, and the strongest Supreme God Realm expert Xia Ping1 an had ever seen.
There was no one else in the hall other than the old man. The decorations in the hall were somewhat mysterious, but they did not seem to pose any threat for the time being. Xia Pingan heaved a sigh of relief.
“Senior, are you the master of the Extreme King Palace?”Xia Ping ‘an asked after calming down.
“If I were the master of the Ultimate Palace, why would I have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years?”The old man sighed.
Xia Pingan was a little surprised.” Senior, you even opened the gate to the Extreme King Palace for us?”
“I was the first to discover the palace, and I was also the first to enter. I’ve been here for tens of thousands of years. Although I’ve been trapped here, a sliver of my divine sense has changed, and I’ve figured out some of the secrets of the palace.”The old man said,” By the way, little girl, what’s your name? It’s really unexpected that you can be the first to enter here!”
“My name is Dragon Rearing Cicada!” Xia Pingan said.
The old man’s face revealed a trace of recollection.” Dragon Rearing Cicada…” The surname Rearing Dragon sounds a little familiar to me. I seem to have heard it many years ago. Are you a descendant of the Ancient God’s bloodline family in the Spirit Desolate Mystic Realm?”
“That’s right!” Xia Pingan nodded.” I don’t know how to address you, Senior.””
“I’m half dead now, like a prisoner. How can I still have the face to mention my name from back then? Just call me old undying!”
“Senior has already lit up the 17 divine flames, and it is easy for you to ascend to Godhood. Your strength is already unfathomable. Just now, Senior said that you were trapped. Could it be that Senior can’t even break through this light screen in front of you?”
” This tiny light screen is formed by the convergence of the Earth Fiend Yin Qi and the Heaven’s Spirit Yang Qi of the entire Flood Dragon God Cave through the Extreme Emperor Palace. This tiny light screen has already condensed the power of the entire Heaven and Earth Spacetime of the Flood Dragon God Cave, becoming the hub of the manifestation of the Great Dao. The Flood Dragon God Cave is also the gathering place of the most important innate earth veins in the entire Sinkhole Domain. Therefore, unless one has the strength to destroy more than half of the Sinkhole Domain with a single punch, even a god can’t breakthrough this barrier!”
The old man shook his head with a bitter smile.” As far as I know, unless a few top Arcana Plane gods under the two Rulers come personally or the two Rulers take action, this barrier can’t be destroyed by external forces. I’ve been trapped here for tens of thousands of years. It’s impossible for me to ascend to the God Realm, let alone destroy it, because the space and time inside this barrier have been locked!”
When Xia Pingan heard this, he took in a breath of cold air, and his eyes became serious.” Senior, you don’t mind if I try to see if this barrier can be destroyed, right?!””
He still had some doubts about the old man’s words, so he wanted to give it a try.
“Go ahead and try. If you can destroy this barrier, I’ll thank you!”
Hearing the old man’s words, Xia Pingan did not hold back. He slowly walked to the lowest level of the altar and gradually approached the red light screen.
The red light screen was indeed as the old man had said. The entire light screen seemed to be very easy to destroy. However, when Xia Pingan stretched out his hand and pressed it on the light screen to feel it carefully, he realized that the light in the light screen seemed to be formed by countless lights. It looked like a crystal, but it was also an intangible thing. It was a little terrifying. This meant that the light screen had already formed a unique space-time barrier.
Xia Ping ‘an took a deep breath. In the next second, he used the power of the first level of the Ming King Seamless Divine Body and channeled it into his fist, slamming it heavily onto the light screen.
This punch was powerful enough to kill the God of Black Feathers ‘Ninth Level Hierarch clone. However, when it landed on the light screen, there was nothing unusual about it. Xia Pingan felt as if a clay ox had entered the sea. There wasn’t even a rumble. It was as if his punch had hit the void. There was no reaction at all. Instead, a huge backlash from the light screen made him take three steps back involuntarily.
Xia Ping ‘an’s eyes flashed. In the next second, he let out a low roar and stepped forward. The three levels of power of the Ming King Seamless Divine Body erupted and slammed heavily on the light screen.
This punch was the same as the previous one. The entire light screen didn’t even tremble. A powerful rebound force surged over and forced Xia Pingan back three steps again.
” That punch of yours is very powerful. It looks like this light screen is bearing your punch, but in reality, the power of your punch is ultimately dispersed by the earth vein that connects to the Serpent God Cave and is borne by the entire Sinkhole Domain. I didn’t understand this principle before and found it unbelievable. It was only after I stayed here for too long that I slowly figured it out. Other than this light screen, everything in this hall and all the substances you see are the same as this light screen,” Duan Ling Tian said. It was formed by the interweaving spacetime power of the Flood Dragon God Cave and could not be destroyed!”the old man said to Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan took a deep breath and lowered his hand.” Senior, since this light screen can’t be destroyed, how did you get in?”
” This altar’s light screen is very strange. It allows people to enter once every fifty-five days, but after entering, it’s not so easy to leave. Sigh, back then, I was so conceited that I didn’t even put ordinary gods in my eyes. When I came here, I wanted to obtain the treasure in the treasure box so that I could cultivate to a higher level. In the end, because I was too conceited, I entered this light screen without fully understanding the mysteries of this place. In the end, he couldn’t get out after entering!”
These words made Xia Pingan shiver.” Senior, you’ve been imprisoned in this light screen for tens of thousands of years?”
“Yes, this is the result of my arrogance. Don’t learn from me. Take a good look at the wall around this hall. After my observation over the years, I’ve found that the sculptures and murals on the wall are extremely mysterious. Every 55 days, when the light curtain can be re-entered, the flowing patterns on the wall will also change. They are not just decorations. It might be one of the secret keys to open this light screen and the altar…”
“How many more days until the light curtain can be activated?”Xia Pingan asked.
“There are still 39 days!”
“Does this mean that I have to wait here for 39 days before I can see the mysteries of this hall?”
“Yes, I can feel that many people have entered the palace. There should be more people coming here in the next few days. If you can save me from here, I’ll give you something.”
“What benefits?”
“I have a divine power pegasus. I will give it to whoever can save me from here!”
The Divine Power Pegasus actually belonged to this old man? Xia Ping ‘an felt a little surprised, but at the same time, he felt that it was within reason. Perhaps only such an expert could possess a treasure like the Divine Power Pegasus.
“The Supreme God’s tombs in the Netherworld City and the passage outside should be left behind by you, right?”Xia Pingan suddenly asked.
“Since you can see it, 1 won’t hide it from you. Those were indeed left behind by me. I was the one who opened up this Youming City Mystic Realm in the beginning.”The old man admitted frankly.
Xia Ping ‘an did not say anything else. He walked to the front of the walls in the hall and began to carefully examine every picture on the walls, wanting to see some clues from them. As for the old man, he chatted with Xia Ping’ an, asking Xia Ping ‘an about the changes in the Spirit Wilderness Mystic Realm and the outside world over the years. His expression was sometimes happy and sometimes sad, and it was thought-provoking.
However, two days later, a light figure flashed in the hall. Tong Ye Mu, who was covered in blood, staggered and appeared in the hall..
