Although the mansion master has passed away, there are still more than a dozen guards guarding outside the imperial palace.

After Ji Tianxing arrived at the Imperial Palace, the guards on both sides of the gate hurriedly saluted and opened the gate of the Imperial Palace.

Now in the Emperor's Mansion, he is the most respected person among all the guards, emperors, and divine masters, and he is also the next mansion master by default.

He stepped into the palace hall and closed the palace gate with a wave of his hand.

"Boom!"

In the wide and dimly lit hall, rows of bright lights were immediately lit up on the walls on both sides.

The bright golden light illuminates the entire hall, and the golden light reflects the ground and the vermilion gold-painted beams and pillars.

Ji Tianxing walked around the walls around the main hall and slowly walked around, carefully observing the patterns and words on the four walls.

Although he had been to the Imperial Palace several times, he had never had a chance to observe them closely.

Two quarters of an hour later, he had observed the entire hall, but he had found nothing to gain.

The patterns and words in the main hall are all the characters of the four tribes of people, demons, water, and demons thousands of years ago, and they have nothing to do with the Shenwu Continent.

He left the main hall with some regret and walked to the depths of the imperial palace.

In the depths of the Imperial Palace, there are dozens of vacant rooms and secret rooms, dimly lit and covered with dust.

Ji Tianxing released his divine sense and carefully searched every room and secret room for useful clues and news.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

He searched more than forty rooms, but found nothing useful.

Even the secret room where he had been in retreat and cultivation before, he had searched carefully, but he still found nothing.

Only the last room remained, the secret room protected by the Yuan Shen Great Array, and he hadn't searched it yet.

He knew that it was an exclusive secret room for the mansion master to live and cultivate.

Although the mansion master did not spend much time in the Imperial Mansion, every time he returned to the Imperial Mansion, he stayed in that secret room.

So, Ji Tian walked to the door of the secret room and used his magic to break the big array.

The defensive array of this secret room was arranged by the mansion master himself.

He inherited the master's mastery and martial arts experience, and of course he knew how to crack it.

In less than half an hour, he broke the defensive formation and opened the stone door of the secret room.

This secret room is not large, only ten zhang square.

The secret room was empty, and in the middle of the open space was a futon made of the finest spirit jade.

In the corner of the secret room, there is a jade bed made of ten thousand years of cold jade.

In addition, there are many hidden compartments carved into the surrounding walls to store things.

Ji Tianxing walked around the secret room, opening more than a dozen secret compartments in turn to check the contents inside.

Most of the dark grids are stored with some pills and array diagrams, as well as strange magic weapon fragments.

Ji Tianxing picked out a few Yuanshen-level Divine Pills from them, put them into the space ring, and kept them for later use.

In the last hidden compartment, he found an ancient gray book.

This ancient book is heavy, with worn and curly corners and pages, and is apparently often flipped.

With great anticipation, he flipped through the ancient book in his hand.

However, there were a few big, strangely styled characters written on the cover of the ancient book, which made him frown.

He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't make out what it was.

But he can be sure that those characters are neither the words of the four tribes of humans, demons, water, and demons, nor are they the seal characters of ancient times.

"Isn't this the text of the Tianxuan Continent?"

This thought flashed through Ji Tianxing's mind, and his eyes suddenly froze, and his heart became more and more expectant.

He opened the ancient book, and saw that the dark gold pages were full of lines of small black letters.

Those small characters are the same as the font on the cover, and they are not the characters of the Tianxuan Continent.

Ji Tianxing pondered for a long time, but he couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

So, he continued to flip back.

From the third page onwards, a few scattered Terran characters appear on the pages.

The lines of small print, similar to notes and instructions, are distributed in the middle of the mysterious text.

Ji Tianxing suddenly showed a hint of joy, and compared those Terran characters to learn to identify the mysterious words.

Gradually, he became immersed in ancient books and forgot the passage of time.

Half an hour later, he was able to make out hundreds of mysterious words.

Only then did he finally understand that the words on this ancient book were indeed not the words of the Tianxuan Continent, but the general words of the Shenwu Continent!

After the battle of the gods, the continents are no longer connected to each other, and of course there will be differences in words and languages.

The lord of the mansion hid the book in a secret room, added annotations and transliterations, and read it often......

It seems that he was also learning the characters of the Shenwu Continent before. ”

Ji Tianxing muttered silently, carefully and attentively flipped through the ancient books, and constantly identified one Shenwu Continent script after another against the annotations of the mansion master.

Before I knew it, two days had passed.

In the past two days, he has been staying in the secret room and reading the ancient book twice from beginning to end.

With his strong memory, he memorized the text content on more than 200 pages word for word.

Moreover, he pondered and studied repeatedly, and he was already able to recognize thousands of Shenwu Continent characters.

He can even imitate the pronunciation of the Shenwu Continent and say some simple common sentences.

This is a big gain for him.

At least, he already has a certain foundation, and he will go to the Shenwu Continent in the future, so that he can learn and master the language of the Shenwu Continent faster.

In addition to this, he discovers a mysterious clue.

At the end of the ancient book, there is a mysterious mark the size of a fingernail.

The imprint is oval in shape, with more than 30 patterns on the edge, like a wreath of flowers, or a coiled dragon snake.

In the middle of the circle, there is a simple pattern of a sacred bird, with a slender neck and wings soaring.

This pattern is a bit abstract, and Ji Tianxing can't be sure whether this is a picture of a divine bird or some kind of strange symbol.

All in all, this mark seems very special and mysterious, and it certainly contains some kind of meaning.

Ji Tianxing pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the meaning of this mark.

He could only silently guess that this mysterious mark must be related to the Shenwu Continent.

It may be the secret code of the mansion master's connection with the Shenwu Continent, or it may be the emblem of the supreme powerhouse, or a certain force.

Ji Tianxing firmly remembered the appearance of the mysterious mark, and it was exactly the same.

Then, he put the ancient book back in the dark compartment and turned to leave the chamber.

Except for the words and mysterious emblems of the Shenwu Continent, there were no more clues in the Imperial Palace.

Ji Tianxing kept these things in his heart, and went to the Shenwu Continent in the future to continue the investigation.

A moment later, he returned to the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

Outside the door of the sacred and solemn hall, there were several black-robed divine masters standing, waiting silently.

These six Divine Masters, led by the Black Feather Divine Master, were the few remaining powerhouses in the Imperial Mansion.

Ji Tianxing asked the guards to open the door and led several divine masters into the main hall.

Then, he announced to the Divine Masters that he had appointed the Black Feather Divine Master as the new Mansion Master.
