Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The area where the Dark-Gold Ancient Hall was located was in the central core zone of the island.

When Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin arrived at the central area of the island, they ascended to the summit and saw the ancient hall. It flowed with dark-gold light, and under the reflection of the dark-gold clouds in the sky, it seemed to be bathed in the sunset.

The Dark-Gold Ancient Hall was surrounded by a vast plain, without any other mountains, except for a few intersecting mountain ranges where the ancient hall was located.

The ancient hall was situated in the center of those intersecting mountains, on the highest and largest mountain peak.

After they entered the plain, they discovered that the space here was somewhat peculiar.

Clearly, the ancient hall was within sight, seemingly only a few hundred miles away, but after they had traveled thousands of miles, the ancient hall was still beyond their reach, at a distance of several hundred miles.

This was a force of spatial extension.

This area retained such order, so what appeared to be a few hundred miles was actually far more than that.

As long as the person entering this area was moving, the space would expand. If the speed was too slow, the distance to the ancient hall would only increase. When a person stopped, the spatial expansion would also stop.

It was as if they had entered a space that could continuously expand as the person moved.

Only when the speed exceeded the rate of spatial expansion could they close the distance to the ancient hall.

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin saw through the problem here and immediately increased their speed.

They discovered that as long as the speed exceeded twenty times the speed of sound, they could slowly close the distance.

This meant that the rate of spatial expansion was at most twenty times the speed of sound.

"Fortunately, the spatial extension order remaining here is already incomplete, and the effect has almost disappeared. Otherwise, in such a special super-forbidden area, it would be impossible to get close to that Dark-Gold Ancient Hall. At least, cultivators in the Saint Realm could not do it."

Jun Wuxie inferred from this situation that the person who left that ancient hall behind was at least a strong individual in the God Realm.

Traveling at extreme speed, they quickly arrived at the highest mountain and reached the front of the Dark-Gold Ancient Hall.

Standing here and looking out over the island, due to the high altitude, they could almost take in the entire island, giving them a sense of surveying all the mountains from a great height.

Jun Wuxie's gaze searched the island, and he quickly saw the great canyon where the Sacred Pool was located.

Based on his observation of the terrain, there was indeed a connection between the Sacred Pool and this place.

The positions of the two formed a Yin-Yang embrace.

"It seems that my guess was correct. The owner of this Dark-Gold Ancient Hall is the tomb owner of the ancient tomb beneath the Sacred Pool. The ancient tomb is a Yin tomb, while this place is a Yang tomb."

With the confirmation of his speculation, Jun Wuxie did not feel happy.

In that case, would there be dangers in this Yang tomb that Saint Realm cultivators could not handle, or trials left by the tomb owner?

The owner of the ancient tomb beneath the Sacred Pool was undoubtedly a strong individual above the God Realm.

After all, demonic entities of the God Realm had already appeared in the second level of the ancient tomb. One could imagine how high the tomb owner's realm was, and the later levels of the tomb would only be more terrifying.

If a strong individual above the God Realm left a Yang tomb, and the trials set up inside for later generations were benchmarked against the God Realm, it would be really difficult to deal with.

"Probably not. Didn't those seven Supreme Saint Realm people obtain the [World-Transcending · Qiankun Sacred Armor] in this Yang tomb? They were able to have such an opportunity, which at least shows that the trials they encountered were all in the Saint Realm."

"They were unable to go deep, so the trials they encountered naturally wouldn't be too outrageous. Who can say for sure whether there would be God Realm trials as they went deeper? However, since the tomb owner left the Yang tomb in this Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm, there shouldn't be God Realm trials, but it can't be completely ruled out."

Entering this Dark-Gold Ancient Hall was to seek opportunities, and they could only rely on their own strength to deal with them. Jun Wuxie didn't want to rely on Aunt You's power when he got inside, so he naturally didn't want there to be God Realm trials.

"Let's go."

Jun Wuxie walked to the center of the front of the ancient hall, where the entrance to the Dark-Gold Ancient Hall was located.

In front of the hall were nine green stone steps, covered with moss, and a large number of footprints were left on them.

At the end of the green stone steps was the corridor in front of the main hall, covered with thick dust.

In front of the open bronze door, the accumulated dust was covered with dense footprints.

Obviously, these footprints were left by people who had entered the ancient hall in recent days.

He and Mu Ciyin walked in side by side, passing through the bronze door and entering the ancient hall.

Inside the ancient hall was a magnificent hall. The walls on both sides of the hall were lit with lamps, and the pillars carved with patterns in the hall were also lit with lamps, making the light in the hall relatively bright.

In the entire hall, everything that could be seen was made of bronze.

Near the deepest part of the hall, there was a sloping downward passage, surrounded by bronze-carved railings on three sides. The railings were not high, about one meter.

On the wall directly above, there were patterns of people sitting in meditation and cultivation, mostly meditation diagrams, and many ancient characters, similar to scriptures, but not cultivation techniques, but a compilation of cultivation insights, compiled into scriptures.

Besides these, there was nothing else in the hall.

They came to the wall engraved with meditation diagrams and scriptures, carefully looking at the patterns and words on it.

"It seems that the realm of this Yang tomb owner is really high, and his understanding and comprehension of cultivation are very profound. These scriptures, word for word, can make people feel as if they have been enlightened and awakened."

Mu Ciyin looked at the meditation diagrams, and in conjunction with the scriptures, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"I still underestimated the tomb owner. His realm is even higher than I imagined, but what surprises me the most is his unique and amazing exposition on cultivation. Not to mention anything else, the tomb owner must have been a good teacher in his lifetime, with extremely strong abilities in imparting knowledge…"

Jun Wuxie greatly admired this tomb owner.

Regarding cultivation, even if some people have a high realm and a deep understanding of cultivation, it is very difficult to express it well so that people of lower realms can easily understand it.

Even if he has recovered part of his memories from his previous life and has a deep understanding of cultivation, he is ashamed to admit that he is inferior to this person in terms of teaching and expression.

When they saw half of it, the meditation diagrams and scriptures on the stone wall lit up, and then a deep and vast voice came out, carrying an indescribable sense of desolation.

This voice was like hundreds of thousands of musical instruments playing together, and thousands of people humming.

The voice, combined with the meditation diagrams and scriptures, instantly immersed people in it, as if they had stepped into the artistic conception world of that contemplation and cultivation, making it easier to understand.

"I want to record it."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he opened the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, controlling the Eight-Nine Profound Palace to cover this wall, but he found that he could not cover it no matter what.

There seemed to be a layer of mysterious spatial barrier separating the entrance of the Eight-Nine Profound Palace from this wall.

"The order in the ancient hall is very special, so this won't work."

Jun Wuxie tried to let Mu Ciyin enter the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, but failed.

Mu Ciyin could not go any further at the entrance of the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, even if he used the Eight-Nine Profound Palace to guide her.

"Spatial isolation, when the Eight-Nine Profound Palace is opened, all the things inside are as if they have entered a different time and space, no longer in the same space."

Jun Wuxie put away the Eight-Nine Profound Palace. He originally wanted to exit the ancient hall first and let Mu Ciyin enter the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He knew that Mu Ciyin would not agree.

"Forbidden area, rune memory stones are not available, it seems that I can only use my divine sense to replicate the pictures and sounds. If I do this, the effect will be discounted."

Jun Wuxie was helpless, other methods were not available, so he could only do so.

He carefully watched these meditation diagrams and scriptures, word by word, picture by picture, and remembered every subtle engraving in his mind, constructing pictures in his sea of consciousness with his divine sense.

When he saw the last of those scriptures and meditation diagrams, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

"Above the God Realm!"

As expected, he had guessed that the tomb owner might be higher than the God Realm, and now he got confirmation. It can be proved from these last meditation diagrams and scriptures.

This is not something that cultivators in the God Realm can understand!

It took him half a day to engrave all these meditation diagrams, scriptures, and sounds in his mind, construct them into patterns and sounds with his divine sense, and then place them in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, handing them over to the Eight Desolate Clans, letting them observe and comprehend, and instructing them not to immerse themselves in the meditation diagrams and scriptures of the final chapter.

Those are too profound and mysterious. For the creatures of the Saint Realm, they only need to pay a little attention to expand their thoughts and knowledge. If they immerse themselves in it, they will instead fall into confusion and not find the right path, which is more harmful than good for their current cultivation.

"It seems that they have stayed here for a long time."

Jun Wuxie moved his gaze away from the wall and looked at the dusty ground.

A large number of footprints were left on the ground here, as well as imprints left after people sat down.

One can imagine that many people once watched here, sitting in front of the wall and comprehending their insights.

As he turned his head, he saw a strange light flashing in Mu Ciyin's eyes, and then he felt her aura suddenly increase by a fold.

She actually broke through so quickly.

The scriptures, meditation diagrams, and sounds here gave her new insights, which allowed the power of her Dao Fruit to be released again.

After breaking through, Mu Ciyin retracted her gaze from the wall, turned to look at Jun Wuxie, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"Ciyin Master, what's wrong?"

Jun Wuxie felt that her eyes were a little strange.

"It's nothing."

Mu Ciyin came back to her senses, her expression returned to normal, and said, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, let's go."

Jun Wuxie nodded, turned and walked towards the sloping downward passage in the hall.

Following the sloping downward green stone steps, they went deep down for an unknown number of meters and came to a wide passage.

The ground of the passage was paved with bluestone, but the walls on both sides were made of bronze. At regular intervals on the walls, there was a bronze lamp that burned perpetually.

As they entered the passage, pure energy overflowed from the bronze palace walls.

“What pure energy! If someone in the Holy Ancestor Realm came here, absorbing this energy would allow them to rapidly improve their cultivation level!”

Mu Ciyin was surprised. The opportunities in this ancient palace were too easy to obtain.

Upon entering, one could gain insights and improve their comprehension of cultivation, thereby enhancing their soul realm. After descending, one could then absorb pure energy to help cultivators improve their realm.

“This is just the most basic opportunity within the Dark-Gold Ancient Palace, a gift from the tomb's owner to future generations. Everyone who comes here gets a share.”

Jun Wuxie surveyed the surroundings. Soon, they discovered that after staying in one place for a period of time, the bronze walls on both sides would no longer release energy.

This meant that they could not continuously absorb energy here.

They continued to walk forward. At intervals, the bronze walls would release energy, but this energy only corresponded to the Holy Ancestor Realm and had a limited total amount. After absorbing a certain amount, they could no longer continue absorbing it in that area.

They reached the end of the passage and entered a grand hall filled with surging sword intent.

The hall was filled with ancient swords. The moment he and Mu Ciyin stepped in, all the ancient swords inside began to hum.

Each ancient sword trembled slightly, and the released sword dao will swept over like a tide, giving one the feeling of being pierced by ten thousand swords, as if the entire body was about to be shattered.

This was just a feeling. In fact, the physical body did not suffer any damage, but it could create a huge impact on one's mind.

Jun Wuxie was naturally immune to these sword intent impacts.

After all, the level of sword intent released by these ancient swords was not very high.

Clearly, this was an opportunity left by the owner of the Dark-Gold Ancient Palace for future generations, but there was also a test.

Under the influence of these sword intents, Mu Ciyin's mind was somewhat affected, but she could still withstand it.

These weapons were extraordinary, but because the owner of the ancient palace had left behind methods, the released sword intent should be related to the realm of the person entering here. People of different realms would feel different strengths of sword intent.

“People who came in here some time ago took away many ancient swords.”

Mu Ciyin looked at the empty spaces in the hall. It was clear that ancient swords had once been inserted there, but now only sword marks remained. The sword marks looked very fresh, indicating that the ancient swords had not been pulled out for long.

“Master Ciyin, quickly try and see which swords you can take.”

Jun Wuxie reminded her. After careful observation and perception, he determined that the grade of these ancient swords was very high. He couldn't even determine what grade they belonged to, but he was sure that all the swords in the hall were of the God-grade.

However, there were seals within the swords. This seal was not due to internal damage to the sword, but a man-made seal.

It would gradually unlock as the sword's owner's realm improved.

Mu Ciyin closed her eyes, carefully sensing the sword intent released by each ancient sword here, and released her divine sense to come into contact with these sword intents.

Her divine sense constantly touched the sword intents, but was constantly bounced back.

During this process, the ancient swords that released sword intent that her divine sense touched trembled even more violently, and even a murderous aura surged out.

Clearly, they were very repulsed by humans who dared to use their divine sense to touch their sword intent.

Using divine sense to touch sword intent meant intending to take it as a weapon, which was a test of compatibility before choosing a weapon.

Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Mu Ciyin's face.

A quarter of an hour later, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze locked on the center of the hall, where there was a circular sword altar. Many ancient swords were inserted into the sword altar.

A faint light lit up on the sword body of one of the ancient swords, and it trembled the most violently.

“This master has found a sword that is relatively compatible with myself.”

She revealed a hint of joy and walked towards the sword altar. The ancient sword she had locked onto was inside.

That ancient sword flowed with a faint ice-blue light, and its entire body had a translucent crystal-like quality, as if it were an ice sword made of ice, with patterns of ice flowers engraved on it.

Jun Wuxie watched quietly. He knew that it would not be easy to subdue that sword and gain its approval.

That sword was inserted next to the most central ancient sword in the sword altar. Although it was not the best sword among all the ancient swords in the hall, it was definitely among the best, otherwise it would not be in that position.

There were many footprints near the sword altar. Further away, between the ancient swords inserted into the ground, there were also human-shaped imprints and some bloodstains on the dust-covered ground.

Clearly, the people who had come here some time ago had approached the sword altar, wanting to take away the ancient swords inside, but they had all failed. They were all knocked away and injured.
