Chapter 32: The Treasure Hall of the Holy City
Several people abandoned the straight line and went deep and walked at high speed along the edge of the island.
Occasionally, there are deathlight lairs in the forest that are touched, but Li Mo has the realm in the mirror, so he will not encounter danger.
After walking like this for half a day, the Deathlight Lair had not been seen for a long time, and suddenly there was a change in front of it, and a large tree rose steeply from the ground, turning into a tree man, and countless branches flew like sharp swords.
"Huh?"
Li Mo suddenly sensed it, and his five fingers slammed together, and he saw a flash of green light suddenly appear on the trunk of the tree, and it was suddenly a fragment.
As soon as the fragments left the body, the tree collapsed with a bang.
"It seems that we have come to the boundary of the Ding Soul Realm. β
Li Mo said in a deep voice.
"Sure enough, unlike the outside world, fragments can only attach to the human body in the outside world, but here even plants can be attached to it. β
Su Yan said.
"No, it's not really a fragment. β
Li Mo squinted his eyes and said, when the words fell, he turned his five fingers into a fist, and an invisible force also held the fragment in it, but when he heard a crisp sound of "click", the fragment turned into a pile of powder.
"What's going on?"
The four girls were taken aback.
Li Mo said in a deep voice: "This is just a substance similar to fragments, it is possible that the Ding Soul was created for defense. If my reasoning is correct, then the forest in front of us is full of this stuff. Although its attack power is not very high, its number is absolutely terrifying. β
Liu Ningxuan continued: "Fortunately, we have reached the central area of the two major souls, so let's just grope forward." β
Then the group headed deeper into the forest.
It didn't take long for him to trigger the Deathlight Lair, and a large pile of Deathlight rained down like raindrops.
Dodging the attack of the Deathlight Lair, Li Mo and the others immediately moved in the direction of the Ding Soul Domain, and soon after, they were attacked by the Tree Man, and several people moved in the direction of the Deathlight Artifact's Instrument Soul Domain.
Moving in a curve in the forest, several people gradually discovered some characteristics of the junction of the two realms, and with this experience, it was more convenient to travel.
In the early morning of that day, when a few people had crossed a high ground, the thick forest had finally come to an end.
At this moment, a city appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance, and it was like a pearl scorching in the early morning sun.
"That's the holy city built by the disciples of the Rootless Sect! I heard that the place where the Rootless Sage lives is the treasure hall in the city. β
Su Yan said happily.
"The Holy City was badly destroyed, and it really went through a great battle. β
Liu Ningxuan stared with wide eyes.
But I saw that the holy city was full of large and small stone piles, which were collapsed buildings, and the wall on one side had also collapsed more than half.
"Look at the heavens. β
At this time, Qin Ke'er said.
A few people looked up and suddenly sighed lightly.
But I saw that the sky was clearly divided into two colors, green on the left and white on the right.
The air currents in the sky moved slowly, and at the junction of green and white, the air was intertwined, like countless beasts with teeth and claws.
The green air current, which occupies half of the sky, obviously has a center, which seems to be a vortex, slowly rotating, and in the center of the vortex there is a green light that shoots deep into the earth.
The same is true of the white air flow on the other side, with a vortex and a white light that shoots down.
"I'm afraid that the place where the beam is shooting is the location of the two great souls, and it seems that they are still far away from here. β
Li Mo said.
"So what do we do now?"
Song Shuyao asked.
"Since you're here, of course I'm going to check it out. β
Li Mo said solemnly.
The four girls all nodded, although this matter comes with a certain amount of risk, but the holy city is close at hand, how can they not go.
Several people immediately descended from the high ground and hurried in the direction of the mountain.
The journey was very smooth, and without encountering any obstacles, we arrived directly at the Holy City.
The city gate had long been destroyed, and the stone pillars were scattered on the ground and overgrown with weeds.
Walking along the avenue, the buildings that once stood on both sides are also crooked, becoming piles of stones.
According to records, Rootless Island was accidentally discovered by the Rootless Sect people, and it took ten years to build a holy city on it, as a cultivation place for the Rootless Sage.
When the rootless saints lived in this place, they often met with the leaders of various sects in the treasure hall of the Holy City, how honorable.
Today, however, the bustling city is in ruins.
After traveling all the way like this, it didn't take long to arrive at the place where the treasure hall was located, but when they arrived here, several people's hearts sank.
It is rumored that the Treasure Hall was built with hundreds of buildings, including the Library Hall, the Refining Tower and other important facilities, which were built for the Rootless Sage, where a large number of treasures were born, making the Rootless Gate have a strong influence in the world at that time.
Today, however, hundreds of buildings have been destroyed.
"These buildings are all made of the highest grade ninth-grade ore, and they are refined by secret methods, which are as hard as heavenly weapons. I didn't expect it to be so badly damaged, what happened here back then?"
Li Mo frowned and thought deeply.
"It seems that the only way to find clues is to look in the ruins. β
Su Yan said.
Li Mo nodded and said to Liu Ningxuan, "Xuan'er, you seem to have a 'homing array' there, right?"
"Yes, yes, but it will take some time to get the ruins of this magnitude back to their places. β
Liu Ningxuan said.
"It's okay, it just so happens that Yan'er is refining pills here, and there is an antidote, so we have no worries. β
Li Mo said.
At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly let out a low roar, and the scales on his body stood up all of a sudden.
Everyone hurriedly looked around, and saw that the ruins were exuding a faint luster, and then a light point rose from the ground, and soon turned into a light door.
"It's ......"
Song Shuyao shushed lightly.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, let's go in and have a look." β
Li Mo said in a deep voice.
So, the five of them took the little black beasts and crossed the light gate.
As soon as he entered the light gate, his vision suddenly brightened, and he came to a majestic palace complex.
"This isβthe Treasure Palace!"
Li Mo was surprised.
"Could it be that the ruins just now are just an illusion, and the real treasure hall still exists?"
Su Yan speculated.
In other words, the ruins are real, and what we see is an illusion. β
Qin Ke'er said.
"Brother Mo may be able to see the truth?"
Song Shuyao asked.
Li Mo shook his head, "The entire Rootless Island is shrouded in a powerful force, so much so that it is difficult for the Psychic Eye to work. β
Before the words fell, the closed palace gate in front of him slowly opened, revealing a avenue leading to the depths.
"Let's go. β
Li Mo said a word, and several people walked forward.
As the doors opened, several people walked through the halls, going deeper and deeper.
The side halls are lined up, revealing a simple and solemn color, there is no breath of life here, and it is quiet.
When passing through the thirteenth hall, there is a stone staircase hundreds of zhang high in front of you, which is engraved with auspicious stone carvings of dragons and phoenixes, and white jade pillars are carved with exquisite patterns.
At the end of the stone steps is a golden temple, majestic and magnificent.
Several people walked up the stairs, and when they arrived at the front of the hall, they suddenly saw that there was a throne made of thousands of pearls and jade in the treasure hall, and on the throne suddenly sat an old man with a white beard mopping the floor.
Its appearance is kind, its eyes are slightly closed, and it is dressed in a white robe made of feathers, exuding a glowing glow.
"The Rootless Sage. β
Li Mo sighed lightly, and his heart was really shocked.
The appearance of this old man is exactly the same as that of the rootless sage in the record, and more importantly, the kind of sage aura that emanates from his body makes people reverent.
"Could it be a remnant of a soul?"
Su Yan said in a low voice.
This is naturally not impossible, the thirteen believers are all king-level powerhouses, and they are all only one step away from the spiritual realm, for these people, even if the physical body is destroyed, the soul can still exist in the world.
At this time, when he saw that the Rootless Sage slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was extremely soft, and his eyes fell on everyone, making people feel warm both physically and mentally.
At the same time, there seemed to be a bit of fierceness hidden in his eyes, and with a glance, he saw everyone inside and out.
Then, the Rootless Sage said lightly: "Thousands of years have passed in a flash, and you are the first people to come here, which is really rare. β
"Is the predecessor really a rootless sage?"
Li Mo asked.
"Of course, apart from the owner of Rootless Island, who else do you think is qualified to sit here?"
The Rootless Sage flicked his long beard and said with a smile.
The faint words contain unquestionable majesty, highlighting his transcendent identity as the master of Rootless Island, which makes people dare not believe it.
When several people heard this, they were also excited.
"Did the seniors know about the Infinite Order back then?"
Liu Ningxuan couldn't help but ask.
"Infinite...... It turns out that you are here for this matter, so you should have the Infinite Order Fragment with you, right?"
The Rootless Sage said lightly.
"Junior, there is indeed a fragment of the Infinity Order here. β
Li Mo replied.
"The events of the past are like a cloud of smoke, and it has been thousands of years in a flash, can you take out this infinite order and let the old man relive it?" said the Rootless Sage.
"Absolutely. β
Li Mo respectfully took out the Infinite Order Fragment.
A hint of color flashed in the Rootless Sage's eyes, and the infinity order fragments flew in front of him at once.
This move made Li Mo's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.
But this premonition is completely out of step with the atmosphere in front of him, this old man is majestic and upright, as awe-inspiring as a sage, maybe he thinks too much.
The Rootless Sage picked up the Infinite Order fragment and bowed his head slightly: "Sure enough, it's it, I didn't expect that thousands of years later, the old man would be able to see the Infinite Order again." β
At this point, he smiled slightly, "You are a spiritual bone, you have excellent qualifications, thousands of years later, it is really my righteous path luck to be able to have such a talent appear in the half realm, as a righteous path senior, the old man naturally has to help you." Come, let the old man pass on something to you. β
A few people were secretly excited when they heard this, if they could obtain the inheritance of the Rootless Sage, it would of course be a great joy.
"Little brother, let's start with you. β
The Rootless Sage smiled kindly.
Li Mo stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you seniors for your generous gifts." β
The Rootless Sage smiled, slowly stretched out his palm, and then suddenly a trace of ferocity flashed across his face, and a heavy palm slammed out.
Not good!
Li Mo was taken aback, but at this time, he didn't even have a chance to dodge, he was hit hard in the chest, and the whole person fell backwards like a meteor, crashing into three temple pillars one after another, and vomiting a mouthful of blood when he landed.
