Chapter 34: The Xuanlong Dynasty
Chapter 34: The Xuanlong Dynasty
Although it is a big lake with rippling water around, it is very dry on the stone platform, the hundreds of corpses on the first stone platform are basically sitting upright, only dry bones or dried corpses are left for a long time, none of them are festering, and some seem to have not been in for too long, and the skin is still slightly elastic.
Xiang Yang was naturally bold, although this situation was really a bit creepy, but it didn't have much impact on him, and a corpse with great interest checked the past, but nothing was found, let alone the Sumeru Ring, and even a magic weapon was not seen.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile a little dumbly, he really took it for granted, although these are all immortal cultivators, he is not the first to come here, and the stone platforms in front of him are not fools, so naturally they will also search for it, on this first stone platform, where will there be anything left? Unless the first few have not completed the first trial, there may be fish that have slipped through the net. But now it seems that he did not have this good luck.
Standing up and looking at it from a distance, the distribution of corpses on these stone platforms is very interesting, the second stone platform has the most corpses, and then decreases in turn, until the sixth stone platform is more than the fourth and fifth, the seventh stone platform is lone alone, and the eighth stone platform is empty.
It seems that only by walking to the seventh stone platform can there be a big harvest... But there are so many immortal cultivators, none of them can go to the eighth stone platform, can they do it themselves? And there is a pyramid-shaped building behind it, it stands to reason that it is the place of the ultimate trial, and the difficulty can be imagined.
But now it can only be one step at a time.
At this time, Xiang Yang misses his precious stone incomparably, although he doesn't know what use it can come in here, but there is also a soul mark of a Yuan Infant Master in it, at least he can help himself come up with ideas, and for Xiang Yang, it can be regarded as his own lucky charm, and it will be much more reassuring to have it.
After inspecting all the corpses, Xiang Yang was surprised to find that more than a dozen of them were a little strange, they were wearing exactly the same style of clothes, all of them were apricot-yellow robes, and there was a golden dragon emblem on their chests, but the situation of these corpses was different, a few of them were already dry bones, and the other few had been dead for many years at a glance and had become dry corpses, but a few of them were extremely well preserved, and their faces were still lifelike.
Corroborating with his previous assertions, Xiang Yang became more and more sure that there must be more than one entrance to this immortal ruin, otherwise there would be no way to explain why there were so many corpses, and there was no way to explain why there was such a coincidence, it could only be that an immortal cultivation sect discovered one of the entrances and often sent people to come.
Xiang Yang couldn't help but be a little worried, if he happened to be in the midst of a trial, and another trialist came in, what would be the situation? Thinking of this, he decided to spend some time first and review all the jade slips related to talismans, refining tools, and alchemy in his Sumeru Ring, and then enter the second stone platform. Otherwise, if you really bump into an immortal cultivator again, if others have bad intentions, it is estimated that you will suffer a loss with your current cultivation in the Qi Induction Period.
In the East Shenzhou of the Shanhai Continent, there is a huge force that occupies a small half of the Beihai region.
Xuanlong Dynasty.
Not to mention the Eastern Shenzhou, even in the entire Shanhai Continent, the Xuanlong Dynasty is already considered an upper-level force.
Unlike here in the Floating Jade Sect, the Xuanlong Dynasty can be regarded as an immortal cultivator sect or a country, where immortal cultivators live with mortals.
The headquarters of the Xuanlong Dynasty is also their capital, located in the Taihang Mountains, 12,000 miles long, and so large that it is intimidating.
There are forty-six huge mountains here, it is said that each mountain has a mountain god sitting in the town, those mountain gods are monsters with beast bodies and human heads, infinite power, boundless mana, legend, they are the mountain guardian beasts of the Xuanlong Dynasty.
Among the forty-six hills, the middle of the hill is covered with a series of imposing palaces, one of which seems to be made of gold throughout, shining brightly in the sun.
This palace is the tallest, there are dozens of zhang high and low just one gate, and above the eaves of the palace that is 100 zhang high, there is a huge golden pillar with a square circle of ten zhang, and the golden dragon with teeth and claws is hovering on the golden pillar.
There was a huge square in front of the palace, and at this time there were dense figures kneeling there.
In the square, there is a pyramid-shaped altar, on the altar, an old man with a braided head and a shirtless body with colorful markings on his face is waving his scepter and reciting a prayer.
In front of him, a young man in an apricot yellow robe knelt down, looking at a brown thing behind the old man and in the middle of the altar, he trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
Most of the thing was buried in the altar, and the exposed ones were shining a very faint light in the old man's prayers.
This is the ancestor worship ceremony of the Xuanlong Dynasty once every 100 years.
In the record, five thousand years ago, the Xuanlong Dynasty was already a great force on the one side, there was an ancestral spirit to dream and the king of the dynasty, in the Taihang Mountains to get this treasure in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, it is said that it contains the inheritance of the ancestors of the dynasty, only the descendants of the dynasty with the best qualifications and the purest bloodline are eligible to obtain the inheritance through the trial.
In the first few thousand years, it was a very glorious thing to be selected as a trialist at the ancestor worship ceremony, and the descendants of the dynasty flocked to it, but again and again, each time the trialist was born without seeing people and death, never seeing the corpse, and slowly, the ancestor worship ceremony also lost its original meaning, and became a life-seeking ceremony, and only the most unpopular descendants of the dynasty would be selected as trialists.
Xuanlong Haneda is such an unlucky ghost.
The old man's prayer voice became more and more urgent, and his whole body trembled sharply, and then it ended with a long procrastination, and the scepter in his hand pointed towards Xuanlong Hantian, and the whole person was as still as a sculpture.
Prayers rang out in the square, and then a majestic voice sounded: "Haneda, don't hurry up and accept the trial! The 119,367 members of our clan are praying here, looking forward to your ancestral inheritance and your return from the trial!"
Xuanlong Haneda walked in front of the brown thing, turned around, and took a deep look at a tall man in a golden crown dress at the front of the crowd, the golden robe was embroidered with the pattern of a nine-clawed golden dragon, his face was like a knife, his facial features were extremely tough, and he looked like a dragon, with an innate kingly spirit.
This is his father, the king of the dynasty, and it is he who wants to kill his son in this inexplicable ceremony with his own hands.
He looked around the tall man again, and the brothers and sisters who didn't treat him very well in the first place all had gloating expressions at this time, and he sneered and stretched out his hand and pressed it.
If I really don't die and come back from the inheritance test, I will definitely kill all you dog thieves who don't miss family affection in the future!
