Chapter 568 The Third Immortal Monument

Xie Huan immediately understood what Chi meant and asked hurriedly, "What does it say?"

Chi taught him some interpretations of the Stardust Inscriptions, but they were limited to the words on the Stardust Inscriptions and the Heavenly Commandments Inscriptions. There were obviously a large number of new words appearing in this piece of gold foil.

The way the Chi clan interprets the Stardust Inscription is not to "recognize" it, but to "read it with the heart", that is, to use the "heart" to comprehend the "energy" contained in the text, and thus read the meaning of the text.

When Bohang saw the words above, his face also changed drastically, his body trembled involuntarily, and he exclaimed: "This is..."

"Hehe, it is indeed the Stardust Inscription. Fellow Daoist Xie Huan has seen the Stardust Inscription in Tianhuang Palace, so he can naturally tell whether it is real or fake."

Long Xiu took in the expressions of the people, unfolded the gold foil completely, and said, "When I saw this, I was even more surprised than you. The inscription of Tianhuang Palace was widely circulated back then. I also studied it a bit, but I couldn't read it at all. Later, I found some scholars who are well versed in this field. They said that the Stardust inscription was chaotic, with single words forming meanings and not coherent. However, the records on this text are coherent."

"A scholar who is well versed in this?"

Xie Huan's heart moved, and he asked, "Is there anyone in Yuanyanghai who specializes in studying the Stardust Inscription?"

"Of course there is. The Stardust Stele is the most mysterious of the ancient relics. Although there are not many scholars who study this stele, there are still many. Almost all first-class forces have one. After all, after the immortal path disappeared, the Stardust Stele was one of the clues for top cultivators to find the immortal path. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see the true body of this stele with my own eyes like Fellow Daoist Xie."

Long Xiu said with emotion.

Xie Huan nodded, thinking that it was no wonder that the nameless person from the Holy Island was so generous as to lend him the information on the Stardust Monument for reading. It turned out to be common stuff and worthless.

He originally thought that he had the advantage of the information on the Stardust Monument, but now it seems that it is nothing. However, the fact that Chi can read these words by heart is also a huge advantage.

"When the scholar deciphered the text above, I realized that this text was not another stardust tablet, but a record of an ancestor of the sea tribe."

Long Xiu continued speaking with emotion and glanced at Bo Hang, but Bo Hang's expression remained solemn, without any obvious changes.

"I have personally seen the Stardust Monument. The words on it contain extremely terrifying power. Almost every word is regular and can cleanse people's hearts. Although the words on this gold foil are far inferior to those on the Stardust Monument, they also flow with a faint spiritual power and sense of rules. The cultivator who can write this gold foil with such words must have reached the pinnacle of cultivators. I wonder if Lord Bohang has any clues?"

Xie Huan also looked at Bohang and asked.

"No clue."

Bohang said calmly, but his eyes flickered a few times, and he asked calmly: "What exactly is written on it?"

"Let Brother Xie Huan explain it."

Long Xiu made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Long Xiu, you are too kind to me. I don't know what this thing is."

"Don't be modest, fellow Daoist. You have seen the true form of the Stardust Monument. I don't believe that you won't study it in depth. If you interpret this text with your understanding, it can just verify my interpretation to avoid any mistakes."

"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try."

Xie Huan hesitated for a moment, then agreed, pointing to it and saying, "It seems that this gold foil is only half, the first two words should be: 'Beginning', I don't know what beginning, and the back is: 'Five monuments hide this mystery, but the location of the monuments is hard to find. The original stones of the five monuments are preserved in the ancient relics of Haidu, and you may be able to glimpse one or two of them. You can go and see them', that's all, Fellow Daoist Long Xiu, I wonder how I interpret it?"

"Great!"

A flash of surprise flashed across Long Xiu's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal and praised, "It's exactly the same as what I knew. Fellow Daoist is indeed extraordinary."

He instigated Xie Huan to translate just to test this person from multiple angles and get to know Xie Huan better.

He didn't expect that Xie Huan could actually translate it, and it seemed to be more accurate than the translation by the scholar he found. This shocked him and he instantly thought of many details.

You have to know that many of the words in the gold foil are not on the Stardust Monument. Those top scholars relied on the context and years of experience to guess a few, but Xie Huan translated word for word...

This means that Xie Huan really recognized these words.

How can this be?

Could it be that he has seen the other four monuments?
Long Xiu had a subtle smile on his face, looking calm and composed, but in fact, he was feeling extremely upset.

"What is the origin? What secrets are hidden in the five monuments? What is the original stone of the monument? Where is the ancient ruins of Haidu?"

Bohang looked a little excited, muttering to himself and asking a series of questions.

"This requires the power of adults to decipher it. My only clue is this half piece of gold foil."

Long Xiu spread his hands helplessly.

Bohang was a little absent-minded, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Xie Huan said loudly and firmly: "I trust Daoist Long Xiu very much. There must be only this half, and it is not torn in half."

Long Xiu was furious and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I believe in you, fellow Taoist."

Xie Huan chuckled twice.

He couldn't tell whether Long Xiu had hidden half of it or it was really only half, but at least he hit him with words.

"Oh, just believe it!"

Long Xiu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned his head away, and had a gloomy face.

Xie Huan looked at Bo Hang who was lost in thought, and stepped forward and said, "The human race's records record that there are five Stardust Stele, which are called Immortal Stele. Before the Stardust Stele, there was another one called the Purple Palace Stele, which belonged to the Sea Clan. I'm sure you have seen it, sir?"

"I've seen it."

Bohang said without denying it.

"Can you please describe the text on it for me?"

Xie Huan asked excitedly.

"I'm sorry, I really don't remember it. I only saw it once when I was young. I was confused at the time and tried to remember it, but I didn't remember much. I forgot it quickly afterwards."

Bohang said with a frown.

Long Xiu showed a look of disbelief.

But Xie Huan believed it. First, there was no need for Bo Hang to lie to him. Although the inscription on the Purple Palace Stele was of great value, if it was just a rubbing, it would not be enough to make Bo Hang lie. Second, both the Stardust Stele and the Heavenly Commandments Stele were magical, so the Purple Palace Stele was naturally no exception.

"That's a pity. I want to see the splendor of the Purple Palace Monument. Does your Excellency have any way to help me?"

Xie Huan asked slowly.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Bo Hang rejected the idea without even thinking about it. He shook his head and hands and said, "The Purple Palace Tablet is already a sacred object of the Sea Clan. Apart from the patriarchs of the three royal clans, no one can easily view it. The disciples of the Sea Clan who are extremely talented will have a chance to view the Purple Palace Tablet after passing various tests to improve their own talents and cultivation, but it will only be once."

"Where is the Purple Palace Monument placed?"

Xie Huan still asked without giving up.

"I advise you not to get the Purple Palace Monument, otherwise you will be doomed. The Purple Palace Monument is in the Sea God Temple. It is easy for you to sneak into the sea, but it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to sneak into the Sea God Temple."

Bohang pointed upwards, indicating the "moon" floating above Haidu.

Xie Huan turned and looked at Long Xiu.

Long Xiu shuddered all over and shouted, "Don't look at me, I don't want to die."

"Okay, let's first figure out where the ruins written on the gold foil are and see if there are any clues in there."

Xie Huan had no choice but to give up and said.

"I will investigate as soon as possible. Can I keep the gold foil for the time being and return it to you later?"

Bohang's face was full of earnestness.

"Okay, if you have any news, just inform me, Long Xiu, as soon as possible. After all, this is my gold foil, so Xie Huan doesn't have to worry about it."

Long Xiu waved his hand and said, "Uh..., okay."

Bohang carefully folded the gold foil, put it away, bowed to the three people, and left quickly.

"Do you think this Bohang is reliable? We have entrusted everything to him. If he turns against us, we will really lose everything."

Long Xiu hugged his chest, touched his chin with one hand and thought, watching Bohang leave and disappear at the end of his sight.

"At least we are safe for a short time. Whether it is the Dark Wreck or the Immortal Monument, we are the clues."

"If you say so, then Bohang is likely to turn against us?"

"How would I know? People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. If they see something wrong, they will run away immediately."

"Fuck, how about we just run away now?"

"Take it easy."

Xie Huan rolled his eyes at him and walked out of the hall.

"Hey, where are you going?"

“Experience the mysterious entertainment of Xia Haidu.”

"Uh, wait for me!"

Long Xiu caught up in a flash.

Lu Luo was stunned for a moment, her face flushed with embarrassment, but she smiled and hurried to follow.

……

A bright palace, built of crystal and coral, inlaid with sparkling pearls everywhere. The sea water flows in the palace, emitting a faint blue light.

Suddenly, the sea water in the hall surged, a vortex appeared, and a thick black color like ink emerged.

The vortex suddenly grew several times larger, occupying half of the space in the hall.

But the next second, the rotation gradually disappeared, and the sea water returned to its dark blue color, but there were three more figures in the center of the hall.

The person in the lead had jet-black hair that flowed softly behind him. He had a slender figure and sharp eyes as he looked towards the figure sitting on the cold jade throne in front of the hall.

"Meet the clan leader!"

When the other two men saw the man on the throne, they knelt down hastily, leaning forward and not daring to look up.

"You're here."

The figure on the throne slowly opened his eyes, his gaze rippling like water, his pupils as blue as the sky.

There were a lot of white strands mixed in the long green hair, and there were a few more wrinkles on the resolute face.

This person is none other than the patriarch of the Lingbo clan—Hai Lan.

"It's been a long time since we last met. The clan leader has aged a bit. I wonder how long it will take until the end of his life?"

The woman with long straight black hair smiled leisurely.

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes as she glanced disdainfully at the two people kneeling behind her.

The woman was Anhai Haishan, and the two people kneeling were Hein and Haimo.

Hai Yin and Hai Mo were both shocked when they heard this. Such outrageous words could not be forgiven even if they died a thousand times.

But they dared not speak out and lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at Hai Lan.

"Thank you for your concern, my Lord, I am going to die soon."

Hai Lan spoke slowly, her eyes deep and calm, without any ripples.

"Hehe, after you die, if you don't mind, I can take over as the head of the Lingbo clan for you."

An Haishan combed her hair and smiled.

"mind."

Hai Lan said lightly.

"Do you really think I'm interested in being the clan leader? You old fool, if you didn't still have some value, I would slap you to death right now."

An Haishan's eyes darkened, her face became a little ferocious, and she said coldly: "If you hadn't refused to give me Hai Bingxin back then, my husband wouldn't have been trapped in the corpse poison for hundreds of years and finally ended up on a path of no return!"

"Are you An Hai or Hai Shan?"

Hai Lan's eyes rippled slightly and she asked in surprise.

"you do not need to know."

An Haishan said coldly: "I came here on two conditions. One, take me to get the Purple Palace Stele. Two, the power of the Lingbo tribe is at my disposal until I leave Haidu."

"What kind of secrets are hidden behind the Purple Palace Stele that even someone like you would covet them? It's a pity that we have no talent and have studied for countless years without getting to the point."

Hai Lan said with a sigh.

"You are a dying man, so you don't need to know. You just need to answer, whether you agree or not."

Anhai Haishan said with an imposing manner, pointing at Hailan.

"Then how can I trust you, Your Excellency?"

Hai Lan pondered for a moment.

An Haishan stretched out her hand and pointed into the void. A few wisps of black air swirled out and turned into a piece of pitch-black paper.

Then he chanted a spell, and words appeared on the paper: "As long as Hai Lan agrees to my request, I will ensure that the Lingbo clan is safe."

There was a flash of light between Anhai Haishan's eyebrows, and a drop of blood emerged and shot into the paper, and the words instantly turned blood-red.

The paper curled up in the air, forming a small red and black ball that shot forward.

Hai Lan stretched out her hand, took the small ball in front of her palm, sensed the energy inside, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe your promise, but I heard that your body is not complete at the moment, and a small piece of it has been taken away by someone."

An Haishan's face changed drastically. She turned back suddenly, with murderous intent in her eyes. She stared at Haiyin and Haimo on the ground and grinned, "Good dog, biting is useless, but you are good at reporting news!"

After saying that, he raised his right palm, and a huge momentum pressed down. The sea water instantly turned into a black vortex, and the whole hall trembled.

Hai Yin and Hai Mo were both horrified. Countless black air swirled out from the black water vortex and entangled them. The black air poured into their bodies, locking up even their souls and making it impossible for them to escape.

The terrifying vortex force collapsed inward like a tidal wave, but the fluctuations outside the vortex were very small and the hall did not collapse.

This requires extremely subtle control of energy, and is enough to suffocate the two people in the vortex without causing too much impact.

"Head of the clan, save me!"

The two men screamed in fear. The power of the royal blood in their bodies was stimulated to the extreme, but they were still unable to escape.

Suddenly, a dark blue wave came sweeping in and poured into the black vortex, causing a lot of interference, and the energy instantly became chaotic.

Hai Lan stretched out his hand forward, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he pulled it back abruptly. The figures of Hein and Hai Mo flashed in the air and landed beside him.

"Thank you, Chief, for your help!"

The two men escaped death and knelt down in horror, kowtowed and burst into tears of gratitude.
