Chapter 256 - 256 The Ancient City
When he thought of the treasure, the big scorpion couldn’t wait any longer. He hurriedly dragged Qin Chen in.
“Old Ji! You’re not a good friend!” The big scorpion immediately called for Ji Daozi upon entering and rushed to the front, running even faster than Qin Chen.
For the sake of treasures, the big scorpion was seriously fearless.
Before they could figure out if there was any danger in the spiritual world, the big scorpion simply ran in recklessly.
In the place, there wasn’t even a shadow of Ji Daozi.
However, what Qin Chen could be sure of was that the other party had indeed discovered the non-existent fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss.
He must have gone deeper in by now.
The big scorpion beat his chest and stomped his feet in regret as he ran, looking very comical.
In the outside world, on the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, many human race cultivators and geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races were already doubting their lives.
How could there be a hidden entrance on the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss?
They had almost turned the third layer upside down, but they couldn’t even find a fart.
They wondered if Ji Daozi was deliberately deceiving them.
“Not good!”
“It’s a scheme to divert our attention!”
“Have any of you seen Ji Daozi, the Elder King, and that big scorpion?”
“Could it be that they’ve already found the entrance and sneaked in?”
“Hurry! Let’s go find them!”
The group of people rushed back to their original spot and were immediately stunned.
Ji Daozi, the Elder King, and the big scorpion were indeed still at the same spot. Could the three of them have fallen into a trap?
“Everyone, be careful. Perhaps the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss has already undergone a change. These three people should have already fallen into the trap!”
Immediately, these people became 120% vigilant to prevent themselves from ending up like Ji Daozi and the other two.
But in the end, they realized that there was no danger in their surroundings.
Ji Daozi and the other two still didn’t move and the powerful Elder King even had his eyes closed. No one knew what they were doing.
A few hours later, a human cultivator exclaimed, “I found the entrance to the fourth layer!”
He then closed his eyes.
The ten thousand ancient races were shocked. Yet another person had silently closed his eyes. What did he mean?
In the end, the cultivators tried to close their eyes one after another and never opened them again.
Sheng Xuan noticed the pattern and shouted, “Everyone, close your eyes!”
At this point, the big scorpion and Qin Chen had already traveled a long distance before finally seeing Ji Daozi’s back.
However, they couldn’t catch up to the other party no matter what.
Qin Chen pulled the big scorpion back, “Stop!”
The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen in confusion and said anxiously, “Ji Daozi is right in front! Let’s go!”
“Didn’t you notice that even if you used all your skills, you still couldn’t catch up?”
Seeing that Ji Daozi’s figure was getting further and further away, almost disappearing from sight, the bid scorpion was so anxious that he tugged Qin Chen and wanted to rush again to see if they could catch up.
In this spiritual world, most of the rules were the same as in the outside world. However, the only thing that could be used here was spiritual power.
If they stupidly chased after Ji Daozi, they might die of exhaustion before they could catch up.
Qin Chen tried to use his perception to chase after the other party, and the result was that he instantly left the big scorpion far behind.
“Use your spiritual power!” Qin Chen roared, hoping that the big scorpion could hear him.
The big scorpion, who had been left far behind, stomped its feet in anger on the spot.
But fortunately, he finally understood that in the spiritual world, he had to use his spiritual power. With that, he quickly chased after Qin Chen.
Seeing that the big scorpion had caught up with him, the former said to Qin Chen anxiously, “Don’t let Old Ji get all the treasures!”
The two of them moved forward again. God knows how big the spiritual world was. Even though Qin Chen and the big scorpion’s speed had accelerated by more than a hundred times, the scenery around them was still the same.
“Old Ji has entered the ancient city!”
An ancient city appeared in the distance. At the foot of the city were piles of corpses and broken rocks. It seemed to be an ancient battlefield.
Could that place in front be the battlefield of the spiritual world?
Old Ji’s figure did not stop and rushed straight in.
Who was it that had a great battle in the Emperor Burial Abyss?
Could this non-existent fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss be the spiritual battlefield where those beings fought?
Qin Chen and the big scorpion finally entered the ancient city.
The ancient city seemed to have maintained the same state as it was during the war. The blood on the city walls had not even dried up and was still warm.
The big scorpion realized that the blood in the ancient city was exuding terrifying pressure. God knows what kind of existence had left it behind for it to be so terrifying.
Qin Chen didn’t have time to look at the blood as he rushed into the ancient city.
The ancient city was in ruins, with pools of blood that had yet to dry, and broken weapons.
The setting sun was blood-red, and the ancient city was deathly silent.
[Divinity remains had been detected here. Would you like to check in?]
[Note: You can repeatedly check in here!]
The system’s cold voice rang out. Qin Chen had never thought that he could check-in in into the spiritual world.
“Check-in!”
[Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the great emperor-grade secret technique, Fleeting Dream!]
Qin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately opened the system’s introduction.
[Fleeting Dream: Great Emperor Xu Kong’s secret technique. After casting it, one can enter a small spiritual world and control the rules of the spiritual world.]
What? This was the secret technique left behind by Great Emperor Xu Kong?
The Great Emperor Xu Kong was born in the remote antiquity era, even earlier than the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He had used the infinite void to prove his path and controlled the extreme of space. In the chaotic era, the great emperor had shown his divine power and fought against the Heavens alone, shaking the void. To think such a powerful existence had left his mark here.
Could it be that this spiritual battlefield was created by the Great Emperor Xu Kong?
It only took Qin Chen a short while to comprehend the great emperor-grade secret technique, Fleeting Dream.
Then, Ji Daozi’s voice rang out, “Elder King, big scorpion, you two have also come.”
The big scorpion hurriedly said, “Daoist Ji, you knew the way to enter, but to think you didn’t tell us. Are there any treasures here?”
In the distance, Ji Daozi arrived quietly and walked to Qin Chen and the big scorpion.
“This place is related to my ancestor, Great Emperor Xu Kong. That’s why I know how to enter. ”
Qin Chen nodded and said, “Daoist Ji, are there any treasures here?”
Ji Daozi said slowly, “Of course. It’s just that one has to pass the test to get the treasures. I’m not strong enough, so I didn’t try.”
One should know that Ji Daozi was a level 9 Supreme Sage who had once competed with the great emperors for hegemony. How could there be a test that could stop him?
“Please take a look,” Ji Daozi pointed forward, “There’s an ancient mirror in front. It’s a hundred feet long and can release terrifying power. Even Supreme Sages are at risk of dying.”
“Can Daoist Ji tell me where this place is?” Although Qin Chen had a vague guess, he still needed Ji Daozi to tell him the whole story.
