Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

Chapter 389 I dare to ask the heaven, is the immortal still here?

When they stepped into the hall cautiously, the scene before them made them slow down their pace involuntarily.

Inside the hall, seaweed and seaweed interweave into a green ocean.

They sway gently with the weak current, appearing free.

But under the shade of these plants, the outlines of some stone statues can be vaguely seen.

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and headed towards the location where the light had just appeared.

"careful!"

The purple-clothed girl at the side saw Gu Sheng's actions and couldn't help but remind him.

"Why? Do you care about me now?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and said with a smile.

"Don't be so joking. This is not as simple as you think. It's better to be careful."

The girl in purple pouted. Although she said this, she was still very worried in her heart.

Then, Gu Sheng reached out and gently pulled away the seaweed in front of him.

"Dangdang!"

I saw a fist-sized crystal falling to the ground.

Gu Sheng bent down and picked it up, but to his disappointment, the crystal was broken.

Judging from the broken marks, it must have been caused by a strong impact.

But even if it was a broken crystal, Gu Sheng could feel that it contained a mysterious and powerful power.

“There are really good things here!”

The purple-clothed girl's eyes lit up as if she had discovered a treasure.

She looked around and then suggested to Gu Sheng: "Move all these seaweeds aside, maybe there are better ones underneath!"

"Row!"

Gu Sheng responded, then reached out and gently touched the seaweed around him.

After activating the divine power in his body, an invisible wave spread out from his palm.

The seaweed and seagrass seemed to be pulled away by an invisible force, slowly retreating to the surroundings.

As the seaweed was removed, the true appearance of the hall gradually appeared before them.

"This this……"

The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise and was so excited that she was speechless.

There were more than ten stone statues standing in the hall, and each of them was carved so lifelike that they seemed as if they would come to life at any time.

These stone statues are either standing or sitting, in different postures.

Moreover, all these stone statues seem to be holding some weapons in their hands.

However, due to being at the bottom of the lake for many years, the weapon in his hand had already been covered with a layer of rust.

Gu Sheng and the purple-clothed girl looked at each other and could see shock and curiosity in each other's eyes.

They began to walk among the stone statues, observing the details of each one.

The faces of these stone statues are different, some are kind, and some have glaring eyes.

However, judging from their faces and attire, they should have been practicing for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

“Are these stone statues the gods that guard this place?”

Gu Sheng asked softly, somewhat incredulously.

The purple-clothed girl did not answer as her eyes were attracted by a particularly tall stone statue.

The stone statue seems to be holding something in its hands, but due to its age, the specific shape of the object is difficult to identify.

She walked forward, reached out and gently touched the object in the statue's hand, trying to feel the power contained in it.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the stone statue's hand, illuminating the entire hall.

Gu Sheng and the purple-clothed girl retreated hastily, looking around vigilantly.

In the light, the stone statue seemed to come alive.

Their eyes slowly opened, and rays of light shot out from their eyes, interweaving into a light net that enveloped the entire hall.

The purple-clothed girl nervously grabbed Gu Sheng's arm, "What's going on? Did we trigger some mechanism?"

Gu Sheng stared at the stone statues closely, feeling the ancient power contained in the light.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Gu Sheng whispered comfortingly.

As the light gradually dissipated, the stone statue returned to its still state.

As a result, the outer layer of stone of the statue began to peel off.

Soon, the faces hidden under each stone statue gradually became clear.

Their expressions are vivid, as if they are telling ancient stories.

The weapons in the hands of the stone statues are also finely crafted. Whether it is a sword, a bow and arrow or a war hammer, each one looks extremely exquisite, full of artistic sense and power.

"How...how could this happen?"

Gu Sheng and the girl in purple were startled by this sudden change.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and vigilance.

Gu Sheng mustered up his courage and tentatively asked the nearest stone statue: "Who... who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone statue suddenly shook.

Its facial expression became distorted in an instant, and the weapon in its hand began to slowly rise.

Then, under the astonished gaze of Gu Sheng and the purple-clothed girl, the stone statue, along with the weapon in its hand, instantly turned into powder.

It's as if all this had never existed.

Gu Sheng quickly turned to the other stone statues.

I saw that they were beginning to show signs of peeling.

After revealing their hidden true selves, each stone statue inevitably turned into dust and merged with the lake water.

The process happened so quickly that they barely had time to react.

"What...what happened? They all disappeared."

The purple-clothed girl quickly stepped back, her eyes filled with fear.

Gu Sheng tried his best to stay calm, because he knew that panic would only bring greater danger.

"These stone statues may be ancient guardians. Now, they have completed their mission and turned into nothingness."

Gu Sheng sighed slightly and expressed his emotion.

After saying that, Gu Sheng suddenly discovered that after each stone statue disappeared, a small stone was left in its place.

Gu Sheng came forward and took a look at the palm-sized stone.

I saw some unknown words on it.

"what is this?"

Gu Sheng then picked up a stone and looked at it.

The purple-clothed girl came forward to take a look and was stunned.

"This is the writing from the ancient times of the Eastern Wasteland. This is pronounced as '天'."

The purple-clad girl said directly.

"Ok?"

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, staring at the purple-clothed girl's eyes with suspicion and questioning: "This ancient text of the Eastern Wasteland is unknown how many years ago it is now, how do you know it?"

"I……"

The purple-clothed girl's eyes were somewhat evasive.

Gu Sheng’s eyes became sharper.

He stared at the girl in purple, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul.

"Tell me, who are you? Why are you so familiar with the ancient characters of the Eastern Wasteland?"

The purple-clothed girl felt Gu Sheng's questioning and her eyes no longer dodged, but became firm and clear.

She took a deep breath and slowly said, "My name is Ji Ziyue. I grew up in the Ji family. I am familiar with the history of the Eastern Wasteland, so I naturally have some understanding of these ancient characters."

When Gu Sheng heard this familiar name, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"You go on."

Gu Sheng gestured.

"This bronze fairy palace is actually the secret energy point that our Ji family has been looking for. It hides the ancient power of the Eastern Wilderness and is the key to the revival of our Ji family. But I didn't expect to discover it with you by such a coincidence." Ji Ziyue explained.

Gu Sheng frowned. He didn't expect that a stone he picked up by chance would be involved in such a big secret.

"So, what is hidden in this bronze fairy palace?"

Gu Sheng said this, preparing to pick up the other stones as well.

"Don't move!"

Ji Ziyue hurriedly stopped him.

Gu Sheng stopped what he was doing, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that Gu Sheng had stopped, Ji Ziyue explained, "The stones around these statues are not placed randomly, they are arranged in a specific order."

After hearing this, Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.

He looked at Ji Ziyue seriously, waiting for her to continue explaining.

Ji Ziyue pointed to the surrounding stones and continued, "If these stones are arranged in the correct order, they will reveal hidden information."

Following Ji Ziyue's instructions, Gu Sheng carefully picked up the stones one by one and rearranged them in the order she said.

As the last stone was placed, eight ancient characters appeared on the ground: "May I ask the heavens, are the immortals here?"

"What! This..."

Gu Sheng looked at these eight words in shock.

He didn't expect that the cultivator who arranged these stone statues was actually asking about the existence of immortals.

This is not only an exploration of the unknown, but also a yearning and pursuit for transcendence of the world.

Perhaps the cultivators at that time, like Gu Sheng now, were full of curiosity about the so-called "immortals".

There was also a hint of emotion in Ji Ziyue's eyes.

After calming herself down, she said softly, "These words express the awe that the ancient cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland had for the heaven and earth, and also their yearning for the realm of immortals. They believed that as long as they asked the way sincerely, they would be able to reach the realm of immortals one day."

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented shock.

He turned to look at Ji Ziyue and said seriously: "Since we have found the clue to open the Immortal Palace, let us continue exploring and see if we can uncover the secrets of the ancient East Desert."

"boom!!!"

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, a loud roar was heard instantly.

Gu Sheng reacted quickly and pulled Ji Ziyue aside.

After the roar, the energy fluctuations at the bottom of the lake spread out like ripples.

The entire space seemed to be shaking, like an undersea earthquake.

As the waves gradually subsided, the scene at the bottom of the lake became apparent.

But what appeared before Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue were piles of white bones.

The pile of bones in the center of the fairy palace looked particularly shocking.

Gu Sheng's face was solemn. He never expected that he would uncover such a heavy history.

However, Ji Ziyue seemed relatively calm.

At this moment, her eyes showed both mourning and respect for these ancestors.

"These are all the countless powerful cultivators who have yearned for the treasures of the Bronze Immortal Palace from the ancient times of the Eastern Wasteland to the present."

Ji Ziyue explained slowly, her words sounding very calm and natural.

"What? A cultivator with great power?"

Gu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.

He walked forward and looked at the bones.

Yes, these bones are quite old.

But if it belonged to an ordinary person, it would have rotted long ago.

It just so happens that these belong to powerful cultivators, so they have not completely decayed, which is also a sign of their remaining divine power.

"They were unable to leave this place in the end, either because of the mysterious power in the palace or because of the traps. Their remains can be regarded as witnesses of this period of history."

Ji Ziyue told Gu Sheng the origins and purposes of these predecessors.

……

Gu Sheng was silent for a long time.

He knew that he was standing on a piece of ancient history, and any cultivator in front of that corpse could defeat him.

"Then what should we do now?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Ji Ziyue laughed bitterly: "Try not to become one of them."

"what is that?"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng discovered that there seemed to be two holes behind the pile of bones.

Gu Sheng exerted force suddenly and pushed the bones aside.

Suddenly, a bronze wall appeared in front of the two people.

The experienced Gu Sheng could tell at a glance that there were two holes in the huge bronze wall.

It’s just because this bronze fairy palace has been at the bottom of the lake, so it is hidden by a thick layer of moss.

Gu Sheng picked up a leg bone and cleared away the moss attached to the entrance of the cave.

After the moss was cleared, two deep holes of light appeared in front of the two people.

There was a faint light coming out of the cave entrance, which seemed to connect to another unknown space.

What is even more striking is that there are some special runes engraved above the cave entrance.

These runes emit a faint light, as if they contain some mysterious power.

Ji Ziyue stared at these runes, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"This is the rune of life and death from the ancient East Desert. The one on the left side of the hole is engraved with 'life', and the one on the right side is 'death'."
Ji Ziyue explained.

After saying that, she sighed heavily, seeming to feel a little desperate.

Gu Sheng frowned, and could feel that the aura emanating from the two cave entrances was completely different.

One is full of life and vigor, while the other is filled with death and silence.

"We are in a desperate situation. It might be safer to choose the light hole with the word 'life' engraved on it."

Ji Ziyue suggested.

As she said this, she involuntarily moved a little closer to the hole.

However, Gu Sheng shook his head, "No, I think we should go to the light hole with the word 'death' engraved on it."

"what?"

His words stunned Ji Ziyue. She looked at Gu Sheng in confusion, not understanding why he made such a choice.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "In such an ancient and mysterious place, the most dangerous place often hides the greatest opportunities. If you look at these bones, you should know why they are all dead."

Ji Ziyue was silent.

For her, who is well-versed in the history of Eastern Wilderness, this makes sense.

In this ancient land of Eastern Desolation, every step is full of unknowns and dangers, but also full of opportunities.

She looked at Gu Sheng, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Ji Ziyue seemed to have figured it out.

Because life and death are no longer important to her.

"Okay! Then we'll go through the 'death' hole!"

Ji Ziyue said with a look of relief.

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded and took Ji Ziyue towards the death cave.

But at the moment when he was about to step into the death hole, a light and ethereal sound of music was heard.

The sound is melodious and pleasant, refreshing and gives people a feeling of intimacy, naturalness, comfort and peace.
