279 Chapter 278 the ruins of the immortal Palace
Lu Qing had also arrived on the third day before the opening of the reflection in the fairy Palace.
The reason why he came so late was because he was also at a critical juncture in his cultivation. He had just broken through to the ninth-stage golden core realm last month.
He spent a month to stabilize his cultivation a little. He thought of Weiwen and Wenen, the two most important young juniors of the family, going to the Penglai Celestial Palace’s reflection. He had to go and take care of them.
After calculating the time, he felt that it was about time. He activated the training mode and locked onto Lu Weiwen. Then, he arrived at the scene through the teleportation function.
Lu Qing did not stay idle during the three days that he waited with them.
Other people could not enter the immortal Palace, but that was not the case for Lu Qing!
Therefore, he flew toward the main body of the immortal Palace in advance.
According to the records, when other people flew to the immortal Palace, they could not close the distance between them. No matter how long they flew, it was as if they were spinning in the same place. The immortal Palace always maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close, as if they could only see it from afar and not get close.
This was clearly a very advanced restrictive spell. However, restrictive spells were ineffective against him. Of course, he could close the distance at will and even touch the immortal Palace at close range.
However, when he got closer, he saw something completely different from what he saw in the distance.
The immortal Palace had already collapsed.
He could see that the radiant Penglai divine Palace was gradually losing its color as he got closer. Everything was turning gray, and even the auspicious clouds that were holding up the immortal Palace gradually dimmed and turned into dark clouds.
As they got closer, the clouds turned completely black, and lightning was brewing between them. From time to time, Thunder Dragons would appear in the sky, illuminating the area, and then disappear in the blink of an eye. The immortal Palace in front of him had turned completely dark. The ruins seemed to have been reduced to this state after a tragic war. From time to time, Thunder and strong wind could be heard. The whistling wind sounded like the wails of ghosts.
The atmosphere was very depressing. Even Lu Qing, who had seen many things, felt uncomfortable when he was in the middle of it.
It slowly descended, and the ground was covered in gravel. The Jade floor was filled with cracks.
Lu Qing searched a few palaces but did not see anything of value.
Everything had been destroyed, leaving only remains that had been left behind since ancient times.
This isn’t right!
In the past two centuries, the Qingfeng sect had a spot each, and they could enter the reflection of the immortal Palace. According to the sect’s records, in the reflection of the immortal Palace, there was immortal music lingering and it was beautiful. Other than the illusionary images that had no intelligence and some special monsters guarding it, there was no other living person. It was as if the immortal Palace still existed in the world and was in its most prosperous state.
Why was it that in the reflection, everything was still beautiful and brilliant, except for the fact that there was no living person?
And the real Penglai Celestial Palace had become like this?
However, Lu Qing would not give up just like that.
Regardless of whether it was the famous white sword immortal, who was almost an immortal, or the miraculous abilities of the immortal Duke of Penglai, everyone could feel that this place was unusual.
The destruction of this place seemed to be a sign of something important.
The current Lu Qing was very curious about what had happened in the ancient times because of the system he had and the things he had encountered in the secret realm beyond the starry sky and the divine Deer Forest.
The Penglai Celestial Palace could satisfy his curiosity. This place had existed for a long time. Before the Yan Kingdom was established, the Penglai divine Palace had already appeared in the sky above the East Sea once every hundred years. The era of immortal Palace and white sword immortal was obviously very ancient, and it might be related to the barefooted old man and Thunder God.
Lu Qing did make some discoveries in his subsequent explorations.
He first saw a pool of golden blood.
Actually, he wasn’t sure if it was blood, but he had seen the blood splatter on the ground when humans or demons were killed. It was very similar to this.
If this was really blood, the gold color was very strange, and the blood looked very new.
Of course, it was impossible for someone to have just left golden blood here. It could only have been left here in ancient times.
Even after such a long time had passed, the Golden blood still looked as if it had just flowed out. This made Lu Qing feel very strange.
More importantly, Lu Qing could sense a very strong power from the Golden blood.
It was sacred, majestic, and had a hint of inviolability.
What kind of immortal’s blood was this?
It was a pity. If Lu Qing had a physical body, he would definitely think of a way to collect this pool of golden blood. Although he didn’t know what it could be used for, it must be very precious and of great value.
As he continued to explore, Lu Qing gradually approached the core area of the Penglai Celestial Palace.
He could see even more things.
For example, corpses.
When Lu Qing got close to the largest Palace in the clouds, he saw that the ground was covered in corpses.
These corpses did not belong to humans.
It looked like a human, but it was much larger. They were all around three meters tall, and they were all wearing golden armor. Their skin was like metal or Jade, and their faces were human. However, even if they were dead, one could still see the indifferent expression on their faces.
When Lu Qing saw these corpses, he immediately thought of the ancient murals in the Holy tower of spiritual peak on Yuyan mountain.
The scene at the end of the mural was a battle with gods and demons.
Demons did not look like humans. They were like evil spirits and fierce beasts with sharp claws, fangs, and horns. In any case, they did not look like humans. And those so-called ‘gods’ seemed to look like this.
Slender, tall, dressed in gorgeous armor, with illusionary wings of light-but after death, the wings of light could not be maintained, so they were gone-like a human, but with an indifferent expression, as if looking at all things as stray dogs.
There were no records of ‘gods’ in the current cultivation world, but there were records of demons. However, the number of true demons appearing was very few. Most of the demonic riots that occurred were essentially caused by cultivators and demons infected by the demon world in the abyss. They quickly spread the infection and opened the gate of the demon world to release the evil demons.
However, ordinary demons and true demons were two different things.
For example, the endless white ghouls in the ice plains of the extreme north were also considered evil demons; As for true Devils, the weakest of them were at least at the nascent Soul Stage, and they were often in a relationship with ordinary evil devils.
The people that Lu Qing was looking at should be the gods that were opposing the true demons. Were gods and demons enemies? Lu Qing did not know the answer to this question for the time being. However, in ancient times, regardless of whether they were gods or demons, they might have been the enemies of the ancient Immortals.
He then continued to observe the corpses of these so-called heavenly soldiers and divine generals.
Their blood seemed to be golden as well. However, it had all dried up. It was very different from the drop that Lu Qing had seen earlier.
It was the same blood, but there was a huge difference in their levels.
Moreover, from the condition of the corpses, Lu Qing could tell that there was only one fatal wound on each of the heavenly soldiers and divine generals. They were all killed by sharp weapons in their vital parts.
The first thought that came to Lu Qing’s mind was that these golden-armored Protoss had been killed by the legendary white sword immortal.
if that’s the case, then the era in which Xuanji white sword immortal was active is suspected to be an ancient era where Xuanji’s enemy was the same as the enemy of the 21 immemorial Immortals I saw before. Could he also be one of the 21 immemorial Immortals? ”
This was very possible!
Lu Qing had gained a lot from the previous two incidents related to the 21 immemorial Immortals. Lu Qing believed that he would not be surprised this time.
He might even get a new ancient technique!
In fact, the hope of breaking through to the nascent soul realm might even have to be placed here.
Lu Qing could no longer find anything of value on the main palace, which was also the so-called core area of the Penglai immortal Palace. Thus, he flew into the palace.
Inside the palace, Lu Qing saw corpses all over the ground.
This place should have been incomparably gorgeous, but after the battle, everything was destroyed.
The entire Hall was filled with the corpses of countless heavenly soldiers and divine generals.
A young man in a white robe was sitting at the very top. He was holding a magic sword that was obviously not an ordinary sword.
Lu Qing’s scalp turned numb the moment he saw this person.
It was as if he was still alive!
However, Lu Qing quickly calmed down.
No wonder he had no backbone.
How could Jindan and Yuanying realm cultivators speak of such a mythical figure? The heavenly soldiers and divine generals lying outside, who looked no different from ordinary soldiers, were probably not weak.
However, after observing for a while, he realized that the white-robed man was probably dead.
Lu Qing gathered his courage and moved closer. After observing the situation more carefully, he compared the memories in his mind seriously.
As expected, his previous guess was correct.
There was indeed such a person among the 21 immemorial Celestials!
White sword immortal was indeed one of the twenty-one primordial mighty figures!
He didn’t expect that a figure like Lao Ai would actually die in his own immortal Palace.
After that, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.
“Why isn’t anyone cleaning up the battlefield? Who won this battle?”
it should be those gods race who won. Otherwise, the immortal Palace wouldn’t have been destroyed, and white sword immortal wouldn’t have fallen.
“But why didn’t the gods race destroy white sword immortal’s corpse after they won? This obviously extraordinary sword of his has never been touched by anyone.”
He couldn’t understand.
Lu Qing’s gaze naturally landed on the spiritual sword beside his hand.
A sword worn by such an ancient Almighty, especially with the title of ‘sword immortal’, was definitely very powerful. And it seemed to be true. After countless years, the flowing lights and vibrant colors on the magic sword didn’t weaken at all.
“It would be great if I could take this sword away, Yingluo.”
Lu Qing felt a great sense of regret.
The feeling of seeing the pool of golden blood but not being able to take it away was exactly the same, but even more intense.
If he didn’t use it himself, how much would it be worth!
Unfortunately, I’m just a consciousness entity, so I can’t even touch it.
Eh? That might not be true!
Lu Qing did not forget that he had been able to touch the relics of the 21 immemorial Immortals when he had come across them in the divine Deer Forest. Although he couldn’t take the items away, the energy left behind could be absorbed by the system to strengthen itself!
Lu Qing did not hesitate. He immediately extended his sinful hands.
However, his hand went through it and he didn’t feel anything.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. He felt that this situation had exceeded his expectations.
Nothing? This didn’t make sense!
Lu Qing did not give up. He touched it back and forth a few times, but he could not feel anything.
“Si si si …”
“Didn’t we agree that the 21 Celestials would give me power?”
“System, I’ve given you a chance, but you’re useless!”
After struggling for a long time and not being able to settle anything, Lu Qing had no choice but to give up after he calmed down.
He had already used all the methods he could think of. He even opened the system interface to see if he could find any solutions, but it was all useless.
“Perhaps it’s not that the system can’t absorb white sword immortal’s power, but that the seed left behind by white sword immortal isn’t here?”
“Could it be that the key is actually the reflection of the celestial Palace?”
Lu Qing had such an idea.
Otherwise, there was nothing else he could think of.
Three days was not enough for Lu Qing to explore every corner of the massive Penglai Celestial Palace. But at least, in the core area, especially around white sword immortal’s corpse, he believed that he had not missed anything.
Other than the remains, the corpses, and the lifeless corpse of the sword immortal, there was nothing else.
What else could he do?
He could only think of a way from the reflection.
Thus, he estimated the time the reflection would be open and left the Penglai divine Palace, heading to the flying shuttle that Weiwen and Wenen were on. When the reflection on the surface of the sea had completely calmed down, it followed them into the sea.
In the end, he dove into the sea.
He couldn’t enter the reflection in the immortal Palace?
Why was that?
After trying a few times to no avail, he thought of another method.
From the system interface, he selected Lu Weiwen and activated the teleportation!
The scene in front of him flashed, and after a white light, he finally left the surface of the East Sea and entered this reflection.
“I can only teleport in?”
“However, it’s normal that the mist’s camouflage and restrictive spells can’t restrict my access. The reflection might also be some kind of special forbidden technique that could allow people who passed through the reflection entrance to enter the reflection world. Perhaps it’s because I can ignore these spells that when I passed through, I entered the sea directly. The spell can’t affect my consciousness, so of course it can’t teleport me away, hehe.”
After Lu Qing had roughly figured out the reason, he immediately prepared to fly toward the core region.
In the end, Lu Qing felt a sense of stagnation before he could fly 100 feet away.
It was as if something was suppressing him.
He was not surprised. Instead, he was happy. He had finally encountered a situation where the effect could be applied to his higher consciousness form!
