Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue and others stood at the gate of the palace, so shocked by the magnificent scene before them that they were speechless for a moment.

The fox girl's eyes sparkled with surprise and curiosity, and she said softly:
"Fang Yue, have we really found the core area of ​​the mysterious place? It's so spectacular here!"

Fang Yue nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a mixture of vigilance and excitement, and responded:
"It is very likely, but there must be many unknown dangers and secrets hidden here. We must not take it lightly."

Old Turtle was concentrating on observing the architectural style of the palace and the surrounding details, muttering to himself:
"The construction style of this palace is very different from what I have seen before. It contains extremely powerful and mysterious power. We must be extremely careful in our actions."

They walked slowly into the palace, their footsteps echoing clearly in the empty hall.

The floor of the hall was paved with smooth stone slabs, each of which was engraved with delicate runes. These runes flickered with faint light and seemed to follow some mysterious rhythm.

In the center of the palace, there is a huge stone platform, on which is placed a book emitting a mysterious glow.

The book cover is simple and gorgeous, inlaid with various precious gems. The light of the gems and the light of the book itself are intertwined, creating a mysterious and charming atmosphere.

Fang Yue walked towards the stone platform, his eyes deeply attracted by the book. He could feel that the book contained tremendous energy and endless knowledge, but at the same time there was also an invisible pressure emanating from the book, which made him dare not touch it easily.

"Old Turtle, what is this?" Fang Yue turned around and asked Old Turtle.

Old Turtle walked forward and looked at the book carefully again, his expression becoming more solemn.

"This book may be the key to a mysterious place.

Judging from the aura it exudes, it must contain powerful mysterious power and ancient knowledge.

But this force is closely guarded, and we must not act rashly, otherwise it may lead to unforeseen dangers."

The fox girl looked at the book nervously and said worriedly: "Then what should we do? This book looks so mysterious, we can't just give up the opportunity to explore it."

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Let's continue looking for clues in the palace to see if we can find a way to unlock the mysterious power of this book. Maybe there will be some clues in the surrounding environment."

They began to search the palace more carefully.

Every pillar and every mural was examined, trying to find clues about the book.

However, everything in the palace seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, making it elusive.

Fang Yue walked slowly along the wall of the palace, his eyes lingering on each mural.

These murals are colorful yet marked by the passage of time. Some show strange creatures casting mysterious spells, while others show people performing some kind of ritual around an object similar to the book on the stone platform.

"Look, the ritual in this mural seems to be related to the book." Fang Yue said, pointing to a mural.

In the picture, a group of people dressed in ancient costumes stood in the center of a huge magic circle. The light of the magic circle gathered on a book. The appearance of the book was very similar to the one on the stone platform, but the picture was a little blurry.

Old Turtle moved closer to the mural, carefully observing the postures of the people and the patterns of the magic circle.

"Yes, this may be an ancient ritual used to open or manipulate the power of the book. But we need more information on how to do it."

The fox girl gently touched the pillar, feeling the carvings on it.

"The carvings on these pillars are also very strange. There seem to be some repetitive patterns. Could they be related to the rituals in the murals?"

They re-examined the carvings on the pillars and found that one of the eye-like patterns appeared frequently.

And every time they walked to a specific location, the rune light on the stone slabs on the ground would subtly change near this eye pattern.

"This eye pattern may be the key."

Fang Yue said, "Let's follow the route where the eye pattern changes and see how it goes."

They followed the direction indicated by the eye pattern and came to a side hall of the palace.

The light in the side hall was even dimmer, with only a few mysterious rays of light coming through the gaps in the ceiling.

In the center of the side hall, there is a small stone platform with an ancient scroll on it.

Fang Yue carefully picked up the scroll and gently unfolded it.

The scroll was painted with some complex graphics and symbols, some of which they had seen on murals and pillars.

"This should be one of the clues we are looking for."

Old Turtle looked at the scroll with a frown on his face.

"These graphics and symbols seem to describe a sequence, possibly steps to unlock the power of the book, but it will take time to decipher them clearly."

Just as they were concentrating on the scroll, a low buzzing sound suddenly came from the palace, like the sound of some mechanism being triggered.

They immediately became alert, gripped their weapons, and prepared to deal with possible dangers.

As the buzzing sound grew louder, the air around them seemed to grow tense.

Suddenly, several rays of light shot out from the wall of the side hall. These rays of light intertwined in mid-air and formed an illusory image.

The image was of an old man with deep eyes, as if he was watching them through time and space.

At the same time, an invisible wave swept across the sky.

This invisible wave exuded a powerful pressure, making Fang Yue and others feel it was difficult to breathe.

At this time, the old man's shadow gradually became more solid.

The old man's face gradually became clearer, and every wrinkle seemed to be engraved with the traces of time. He looked at Fang Yue and others with a sharp gaze, and his voice sounded again in a low and majestic voice: "You have come to the burial ground of the gods, please prepare the token."

Perhaps because it has been so long, this figure, although looking like an ordinary person, is unable to transmit the sound completely.

Soon Fang Li discovered that the phantom was just mechanically repeating this sentence.

I think it should be some kind of mechanism in this palace.

"Burying ground for gods? Token? What does this have to do with the secret place? There are secrets here?"

Fang Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.

I originally thought that this secret place contained the secrets of the ancient demon general, but now it seems that this place is not simple at all, but even more mysterious.

At this moment, the tortoise shell that Old Turtle took out from his body exuded an ancient atmosphere. There were some mysterious patterns on the tortoise shell. Under the light of the palace, these patterns actually resonated wonderfully with the surrounding environment.

The invisible fluctuations seemed to stagnate for a moment after the tortoise shell appeared, and even the old man's shadow trembled slightly.

"This is..." The fox girl looked at the old turtle in surprise.

Old Turtle said solemnly, "This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation in our clan. Legend has it that it has some connection with a mysterious place. I originally just regarded it as a legend, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

As the tortoise shell appeared, the surrounding environment began to change.

The originally violent invisible fluctuations gradually subsided, turning into soft air currents that shuttled through the side hall. The light on the wall also became bright and stable. Those lights intertwined together to form clear pictures on the wall.

In the picture, the ancient gods stand on a towering altar, waving their staffs emitting colorful light.

Below them, the figures of humans and demons were densely packed, and their originally different forms were gradually changing under the power of the gods.

The light enveloped every life, and strange lines began to appear on the humans' bodies. These lines seemed to be channels of ancient power, blending with the humans' own vitality.

Some members of the tribe became more resilient in the light, with strength surging in their bodies; while some members of the tribe had mysterious light flashing in their eyes, as if they had gained the ability to see through the world.

The demon race is no exception; their originally wild aura becomes even more profound under the transformation of divine power.

Mysterious totems appear on the fur of some fey, granting them new powers, such as the ability to fly or manipulate the elements.

There were also some monsters whose body shapes changed dramatically. Their originally small bodies became as huge as mountains, and their strength also increased exponentially.

During this transformation process, all kinds of strange celestial phenomena appeared in the sky. Colorful clouds unfolded like a scroll, and lightning and thunder shuttled through the clouds, as if the heaven and earth were cheering or warning for this great change.

And the book placed on the stone platform also shines with a unique brilliance in the picture.

It seemed to be the core recorder of the entire transformation process. Every flash of light was accompanied by changes in the power of the human and demon races, as if the knowledge in the book was guiding the gods on how to give life new forms and powers.

Fang Yue and others stared at these scenes intently, and were shocked.

"The relationship between the demon race and the human race is really like this?"

Fang Yue frowned, his eyes full of shock and thought.

“We have always thought that the demon race and the human race are just two species coexisting in this world, but we did not expect that they have a common origin, and are both related to this mysterious land and ancient gods.

But why did we end up taking different paths, and even fighting each other?"

Old Turtle nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Time is long, and there must be countless changes in the meantime.

Perhaps during the long process of development, the two tribes had different understandings and uses of the power bestowed by the gods, or perhaps other factors led to the disagreement.

But what is certain is that this book must contain the answers we want to know.”

At this time, the Lord also came here with many monsters.

Their appearance made the already mysterious atmosphere in the palace even more tense.

The Lord is tall and exudes an aura of majesty. His eyes are like the deep night sky, as if hiding endless secrets.

The monsters behind him had different appearances. Some looked around vigilantly, while others were amazed at the magnificent scene around them.

The Lord spoke slowly, his voice as loud as a bell: "Fang Yue, I want to see where you can run this time. This place of burial of gods is where you will be buried!"

Fang Yue's expression froze when he heard this. He tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand and responded loudly, "So, you deliberately leaked the news about the secret treasure to lure us here? Who are you and why do you know that this is the burial ground of immortals!"

The Lord sneered, "Humph, Fang Yue, you are quite smart. Yes, I deliberately spread the news to lure you here. As for why I know this is the immortal burial ground, that is not for you to know. You humans have occupied too many resources in this world, it is time to pay the price."

"What? You are a human?" The fox girl looked at Fang Yue in disbelief.

Obviously, she had always thought that Fang Yue was a wolf demon, but she didn't expect the truth to be this.

For a moment, it was hard to accept!

The fox girl's eyes were full of shock and confusion, her body trembling slightly, as if she was trying to digest this sudden news.

"You...how come you are from the human race? For so long, I have always regarded you as...as a member of our demon race."

Fang Yue looked at the fox girl, with a trace of guilt in his eyes: "Fox girl, I never deliberately deceived you.

My identity is not important. What is important is that we cannot let the hatred between the two races continue to spread, especially after we discovered these secrets. "

However, the fox girl was now in a state of confusion.

She looked at Fang Yue, then at the humans and demons around her, feeling mixed emotions.

On the one hand, she had experienced a lot with Fang Yue and others and had deep feelings for them;
On the other hand, the Lord's words and the long-standing opposition between the two tribes continued to echo in her mind.

Seeing this, the Lord took the opportunity to say, "Fox girl, why are you still hesitating? He is a human, an enemy of our demon race. If you still stand with him, you are betraying our entire demon race."

The fox girl bit her lip, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes: "My Lord, things are not that simple. We have seen the picture of the common origin of the two tribes. Maybe we have been blinded by hatred all along."

The Lord snorted angrily: "What can those pictures prove? The human race is now powerful and is pressing our demon race step by step. We must resist."

At this moment, the surrounding environment changed again.

The light on the wall became brighter, and the images began to flash rapidly, as if conveying some urgent message to everyone.

Some new scenes appeared in the picture, showing that in the past years, whenever the two races fought fiercely, there would be mysterious dark forces stirring up trouble in the dark, and they seemed to be using the hatred between the two races to achieve their own goals.

"Let's go together and kill this human who is practicing the Demon Devouring Technique!"

The Lord ignored it and ordered his demon subordinates to attack Fang Yue.

After the Lord gave the order, the monsters hesitated but still rushed towards Fang Yue.

Seeing this, Fang Yue knew that fighting hard at this moment would only make the situation more chaotic and result in greater casualties.

He made a prompt decision, rushed towards the fox girl, pulled her up while she was still in a daze, and shouted to the old turtle: "Old turtle, hurry up!"

Old Turtle also knew that this was not the time to fight, so he cast a spell to form a faint halo around the three people, speeding up their speed. (End of this chapter)
