Chapter 372: Little Hands Start to Get Dirty
Gu Heng followed the passageway downwards, and only then did he realize that, from the outside, the palace didn't seem to be that big...
But after entering, Gu Heng had been walking along a fairly wide passage for a quarter of an hour. Logically speaking, he should have already reached the other end of the Ancient Secret Palace.
However, a vast and magnificent hall had just appeared before him.
Therefore, this means that I am probably only halfway there.
"Where did this girl run off to... and what is this place all about?"
Gu Heng scratched his head. Although he was still worried about Qin Yiyao, the grand hall in front of him suddenly didn't seem so gloomy anymore, and it caught his eye! Some kind of golden symbols floated in the air, which felt very strange because Gu Heng could read these characters. The system had given him several books, and the font used in those books was basically like this.
But these fragmented words are scattered everywhere and don't seem to form any sentences.
However, the sudden appearance of so many glittering golden characters in the hall did make it less eerie and terrifying. But what concerned Gu Heng even more was that the hall was empty, but in the very center, there was a stone platform facing the dome.
On the stone platform, there were seven... decorations?
Gu Heng didn't know what to say either.
Because he saw a sword, a banner, a square tripod, a jade flute, a hammer, a calligraphy book, and a red bead the size of his palm...
"This decoration looks a bit shabby."
He pouted.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I thought I was finally going to see something good, but this was it? No offense intended. Gu Heng thought the sword was very beautiful, with many patterns, but it still looked very sharp. However, compared to others, no matter who forged it, it was still not as good as his.
It was probably crafted by an ordinary blacksmith with considerable effort. This sword is more than capable of cutting people, but it's so beautiful that it's best suited for decoration.
As for that flag...
It looks like an emperor's battle flag, and it's beautifully embroidered, but it's just pretty.
Gu Heng thought that the cauldron was used for refining pills, but it was pitch black and probably covered in furnace ash. It looked very dirty. Although Gu Heng's own "Qiankun Purple Gold Furnace" was also very old, he cleaned it regularly.
Gu Heng commented that the characters on that calligraphy copybook were not as good as his own, and that the brushstrokes lacked charm.
The hammer looked like a simple forging hammer. As for the jade flute, Gu Heng didn't comment, after all, he was just a tone-deaf person.
Gu Heng had no idea what the last round red bead, which was only about half the size of his palm, was.
"...There shouldn't be anyone here, right?"
Gu Heng looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no guards around, he...
He walked over and took the red bead.
I held it in my hand and gently stroked it.
It was smooth, a little warm, and seemed to have some flowing red liquid inside. Gu Heng wasn't sure what it was, but he had a cat, even though it was a demon cat. Cats generally like round things, don't they?
Gu Heng was planning to bring something for Su Jinxi.
She's been with him for a while now, and although he doesn't mistreat her and gives her whatever she likes to eat, he seems to have never given her anything to use as a toy. This red beaded ball is nice.
When she's in cat form, you can roll this ball around and play with it.
"...What did this guy do?!"
At this moment, not far behind Gu Heng, a wisp of dark mist appeared out of thin air and condensed into a blurry human face.
The shadowy figure saw Gu Heng take the red bead from the stone platform.
He was so angry he almost died.
That's the "Heavenly Demon Blood Pill" left behind by the Crimson Demon Immortal Lord!
That damned fake immortal just took it like that?!
Clearly, after activating the "Heavenly Array," he rendered almost all the restrictions and formations in this ancient secret palace inoperable, leaving only a few still functioning.
Originally, there were restrictions on this stone platform.
Unless one is stronger than the immortal lords, no one can force their way through the barrier and take what's inside.
Only those destined to possess it can take it away after passing the test.
but.
The Heaven-Shattering Array that the shadowy figure just activated probably rendered this restriction ineffective.
There was no other way; to prevent this fake immortal from causing further destruction, the shadowy figure had to resort to the final method.
But unexpectedly, this fake immortal, after losing his cultivation, still dared to go deep into the area and even took things with his dirty hands!
"no!"
"We must kill him now and shut down the Heaven-Slaying Array! Everything the Immortal Lords painstakingly set up is about to be ruined!"
Although the shadowy figure only recovered 30-40% of its soul power.
But he decided to kill this fake immortal now, deal with this trouble, and then shut down the Heaven-Slaying Array. With the Heaven-Slaying Array open, most of the restrictions in the Primordial Secret Palace became ineffective.
How can we conduct tests if things continue like this?
There was a large group of people waiting outside, and the shadowy figure didn't want to keep them waiting long, since there might be their destined ones inside.
Let's set things right as soon as possible!
As he thought this, a large amount of black mist surged forth, and a dark figure slowly appeared.
Although I only have 30-40% of my power left, dealing with a pseudo-immortal who has lost his cultivation is a piece of cake!
Gu Heng picked up the sword from the stone platform and then drew it from its sheath.
"Hmm... the forging technique is not bad, but it still lacks some refinement."
He carefully examined the patterns on the blade, commenting to himself. Gu Heng was considering whether to take something else with him, but he didn't want to take anything too rubbish.
Not quite done?
The shadowy figure chuckled in exasperation.
That is the Heavenly Sword Immortal Lord's natal sword, "Immortal Palace"!
Even demon generals from the demon realm and ghostly beasts from the underworld have died under this divine weapon of immortal lord level!
How could I only receive the pseudo-immortal's assessment of "lacking in experience"?
No!
Hurry up and deliver the powerful blow!
This guy never says anything nice, and he's already so angry he's about to lose his temper. If I keep listening, who knows what he might say to provoke me even more!
The shadowy figure was furious!
He simply raised his hand and waved it. Instantly, boundless black mist surged and billowed, sweeping towards Gu Heng from behind.
But then the shadowy figure seemed to realize something was amiss... Strange, although there were no more restrictions on the stone platform, the "Immortal Palace" sword should not have been picked up without approval.
This is one of the tests.
Aside from those destined to be together, no one else can take away the treasures left behind by the immortal lords, unless they are stronger than the immortal lords and can completely suppress the "weapon spirits" within these divine weapons and magical artifacts!
But if that fake immortal lost his cultivation, he couldn't have done that.
A sudden sense of fear gripped the shadowy figure.
Will it be...
This guy isn't a pseudo-immortal, but a true immortal above that level, an immortal lord?!
Just as fear began to creep into his heart, he saw that guy, holding the Immortal Sword, suddenly deliver a 180-degree slash!
Then, the shadowy figure saw its black mist attack being shredded.
They also cut off a small portion of his complete soul.
