Chapter 137: Yuan's Secret Message
Jiang Yuqi, there was no need to look closely, just her name and her appearance, which bore some resemblance to Jiang Yujiu.
The two of them definitely shared some blood relation.
"Please follow me, both of you."
The shuttle docking point was still some distance from Saint Emperor Yuan's former residence. While leading the way for the two, Jiang Yuqi explained the achievements he had made over the past thousand years.
Most of it was the usual talk about widely spreading cultivation methods, leading the world onto the path of cultivation, and so on.
After about ten minutes like this, Jiang Yuqi gave a rough overview of what he had done.
Erm...
Overall, it was similar to the information he had seen when he was at the Sword Sect, with no major discrepancies.
As she finished her overview, the three of them arrived at his former residence within the Righteous Path Alliance.
It was a large gold and white hall, not grand in scale, with an overall style leaning towards the ancient period, yet also showing some modern traces.
The golden roof shone brilliantly, as if plated with flowing gold, and the white walls were like finely carved jade bi, reflecting the golden roof.
The hall had upturned eaves, carved beams, painted rafters, and was inscribed with runes for reinforcement.
The spacious square in front of the hall was paved with azure jade Spirit Stones, giving it an ancient and grand atmosphere. The hall doors were tall, painted vermilion, contrasting with the main gold and white color scheme and adding to its solemnity.
【First Generation Speaker's Former Residence】
"When this hall was first built, its scale was actually even larger, but Holy Emperor felt it was too high-profile, so he personally modified it into its current state."
Most cultivators from the ancient period favored halls or palace-type buildings because the structure of such buildings was the most convenient for inscribing Formations.
Not far behind this hall was the tallest building in the entire Supreme Council city—the Council Speaker's Tower.
The tower was overall dark gold, ancient and magnificent, reaching straight into the clouds, like a pillar supporting the sky.
This was also the only building in the entire Supreme Council city that was taller than the underwater protective Formation. Its highest level was outside the great Formation, allowing one to view the underwater scenery at any time.
It was constructed by the second generation Chairman of the Righteous Path Alliance.
The Chairman of the Supreme Council held a status almost equivalent to a Sect Leader of an Immortal Sect.
Especially during the period when Saint Emperor Yuan had not yet disappeared, the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Righteous Path Alliance surpassed the Sect Leaders of the Immortal Sects at the time, both in strength and reputation.
Xu Xing just glanced at it before retracting his gaze.
That tower was indeed good, and the cultivator within it had also surpassed Combined Dao, but...
He was still far from taking another step forward.
Forget it, no need to pay attention.
"Please follow me, both of you, this way."
There were many people who came to sightsee. Besides himself and Yuan Jun, Xu Xing also saw the large Body Cultivator man who had acted righteously at the Drunken Immortal Tavern yesterday.
He was also walking into the hall under the guidance of a guide.
More than half a minute later.
Xu Xing arrived inside the hall.
The interior was much simpler. The floor paved with white spirit jade was bright and grand. Exhibition stands covered by Formations were neatly arranged, displaying different items.
There were some small objects that Saint Emperor Yuan had given away when he was still weak, most of which only had commemorative value and were not very useful in themselves.
Next to the exhibition stands was a projected light screen, explaining the origin of these items.
According to the light screen, the vast majority of these items were sold to the Righteous Path Alliance by the descendants of those people.
Further inside were some small magic artifacts that he had once used, also with light screens explaining their origins.
As for the innermost part, it contained the tokens Saint Emperor Yuan exchanged with the Ancestors of the various great Sects when he united with a group of Righteous Path Sects to establish the Righteous Path Alliance.
The scabbard of the Great Desert Saber Gate's founder, the jade pendant gifted by the Ten Thousand Dharma Dao Sect, and the mask of the Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion...
"This bottle of Drunken Immortal Brew was given to Holy Emperor by the founding Ancestor of the Drunken Immortal Gate. Even Holy Emperor was drunk for a whole week after drinking half a bottle," Jiang Yuqi said with emotion.
After speaking, she glanced at the two of them, but neither Xu Xing nor Yuan Jun said anything.
At least ask a question, cooperate, play along!
Explaining like this is really boring!
The next second, as if understanding what she was thinking, Xu Xing said, "This kind of thing should be very secretive, how do you know about it?"
"Yes, at that time I was only at the Nascent Soul stage, so logically I shouldn't have been exposed to such secrets!"
"But fortunately, I was chosen to help take care of Holy Emperor..."
Jiang Yuqi spoke non-stop, but from Yuan Jun's perspective, she was explaining to thin air, which looked extremely bizarre.
However, no one in the entire hall noticed anything amiss.
"Dao Brother really just left like that," Yuan Jun complained.
Originally, she also wanted to follow, after all, let alone a Returning Void, even if the people from the Righteous Path Alliance were tied together, they wouldn't be able to discover what the two of them did.
But Xu Xing stopped her, saying it wasn't good to leave one person behind here...
Sigh~
...
At this moment, about five hundred meters below the hall.
In front of a thick stone door, a winding staircase spiraled upwards. The walls on either side of the staircase were inlaid with bright golden gems at intervals.
Two Combined Dao cultivators were sitting with their eyes closed, regulating their breath, and simultaneously guarding this underground space.
Silently, a figure appeared out of thin air, it was Xu Xing.
"What a grand gesture," Xu Xing glanced at the two of them. "But this is also understandable..."
Immediately, he looked at the stone door.
The dusty stone door looked extremely ordinary, but beneath its inconspicuous exterior lay terrifying Restrictions.
Prohibiting all methods, sealing gods and locking the Dao!
If its power were fully unleashed, it would be enough to erase a Combined Dao cultivator, and even those above Combined Dao would be severely wounded.
This shows the importance the Righteous Path Alliance placed on it.
Without lingering too long, Xu Xing walked directly towards the stone door.
The stone door with terrifying Restrictions had absolutely no effect. Xu Xing's figure passed directly through it and entered inside.
Inside the stone door was a very spacious area. A woman wearing a purple long dress, with a fierce Aura lingering between her brows, sat on a chair, staring intently at Xu Xing as he walked through the stone door. Her terrifying Aura was like an abyss or a prison.
Undoubtedly, she was above Combined Dao.
Xu Xing remained unmoved and walked directly further inside under her gaze.
However, the woman above Combined Dao continued to stare intently at the stone door.
Clearly, she actually saw nothing.
"These people from the Righteous Path Alliance are really clever," Xu Xing shook his head slightly.
As early as outside the great hall, he had discovered this underground space, including its defensive forces.
After passing through several more Restrictions, he finally arrived within a space of about a hundred square meters.
The white walls were inlaid with the golden gems from the staircase area. Soft light illuminated the space. There were rows of bookshelves, neatly filled with many books.
Miscellaneous Talks of the Universe, Travels in Clear Ruins, Elementary Understanding of the Supreme Taixuan Cosmos, Nine Thoughts on the Grand Void Derivation Method...
Most were books by ancient cultivators deconstructing the space of the Tai Xuan Realm, as well as much information about Clear Ruins.
Next to the bookshelves was a workbench. Besides a small triple armillary sphere and a wooden box, there was nothing else on it.
It should have been taken away by the people of the Righteous Path Alliance.
Inside the wooden box were just some miscellaneous items, with no value.
But...
Xu Xing raised his hand and pointed. The space rippled like a lake, sending out circles of waves, and a faint red light flickered.
This was an extremely subtle spatial manipulation technique. Even his few Disciples would likely find it difficult to detect.
As the space vibrated, a clear voice sounded in his ear.
"The sky is high and the earth is vast, one feels the infinity of the cosmos."
Xu Xing: "..."
Without a doubt, this was the most common secret code using ancient poetry among transmigrators.
Old friend, you should be glad I wasn't a plagiarist in the past.
