Going deeper along the valley, the four of them stepped into the cave of the ancient bronze door.
The so-called crypt is actually a huge imperial palace sealed in dust underneath.
As soon as you step in, you will see a towering wall of a hundred feet, with a huge Xuanwu Gate in the center extending infinitely to both sides. It is majestic and shocking.
"Even though the Imperial Palace has become a little dilapidated over the past ten thousand years, you can still see the glory of the Nanyu Holy Dynasty here." Bu Fangfeng said in a low voice.
"Of course, the Nanyu Holy Emperor was the first holy sect after the Holy Palace era. Its foundation was profound, even worse than today's Ziyang Holy Palace and Ziling Mountain. If the Nanyu Holy Emperor had not failed to break through, he might have been the new one. The Immortal King is the one who unifies the Immortal Realm." Mo asked.
Compared to the two of them, Chu Yan knew very little about the history of the Immortal Realm. He listened quietly and had some doubts in his heart.
According to historical calculations, Holy Emperor Nanyu rose to prominence shortly after the fall of the Divine Palace. He was a generation of prodigies with extremely strong talents. And for such a figure, he also understood the Taoism. Even if he failed to break through the Immortal King, how could he fall?
This is very illogical.
"Nishang, was Nanyu's ancestor's death really due to the failure of the breakthrough?" Chu Yan asked via voice transmission.
Nan Yu Nishang pondered and said: "I don't know the specifics, but it should be that it is rumored that the ancestor broke through the Immortal King, caused a sensation in the Immortal Realm, attracted the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, killed his body, and shattered his soul. In that era, Many people from the Immortal Realm met together."
"Is that so?" Chu Yan frowned, that was a bit strange.
"Everyone should be careful when entering the ancient capital. Because it involves bloodline awakening, I don't want to trust anyone, not even my royal brother." Nan Yu Nishang warned, and Chu Yan nodded. He was born in an emperor's family and has family blood. It will definitely be very thin.
Even if they are brothers and sisters, it is very common for everyone to betray their relatives for the throne of one party.
"Let's go and take a closer look." Chu Yan whispered. The four of them moved forward and entered through the Xuanwu Gate in the center. A dilapidated ancient ruin appeared in front of everyone.
This is a huge ancient city. Even after thousands of years, you can still vaguely see the prosperity and human figures through some spacious streets and beautiful buildings.
In this ancient city, there are seven horizontal and eight vertical ancient roads, which are the main roads of this ancient city. Each road stretches out and connects to fifteen ruins.
"It is recorded in the ancient scrolls that the Holy Imperial Palace itself was a huge ancient formation. The ancient formation required fifteen keys, and these keys were these fifteen ruins. When the fifteen huge ruins were unlocked Only in the future will the mystery of the Imperial Palace truly emerge."
"That means that if you want to get the Holy Blood and the Holy Emperor's inheritance, you need to break through these fifteen ruins first?" Chu Yan asked.
"Yes." Nan Yu Nishang nodded lightly.
"Go to the nearest place first." Chu Yan nodded, and the four of them turned and walked towards a ruins.
After a while, Chu Yan and his party came to a ruins. There was a huge stone mountain here. There was a stone wall on the stone mountain as if it had been cut with a knife. The cross-section was very smooth, and there was an extremely gorgeous stone wall carving on the top.
The stone mural scroll looks like an independent world, with blue sky and white clouds, mountains, rivers and lakes. Below the white clouds, there are countless birds flying eastward with angry wings. Below the north is a mountain forest, in which there are also some dormant beasts, their bodies half-hidden in the darkness. , leaving only a pair of shining eyes, as if staring at the prey all the time.
There is a desert land at the end of the forest. In addition, there is a stream that runs through the forest and the desert, and eventually converges into a lake in the desert to form an oasis. There are also some elk drinking water and feeding near the oasis. They look around with vigilant eyes, and the overall view It is very vivid, everything is so coordinated and real, as if it will break out of the wall and walk out of the picture at any time.
By this time, two groups of people had gathered here. The eldest prince and the twelfth prince both chose this ruins, along with the people they invited.
"Nishang, you're here too." Seeing Nanyu Nishang and his group, the eldest prince turned around and chuckled, while the eyes of Zibalong and the three people from Ziyang Holy Palace fell on Chu Yan and the others.
"Brother Imperial." Nan Yu Nishang nodded in return, then raised his head to look at the exquisite mural, slightly surprised: "Is this the scroll of the derivation of the way of heaven recorded in the ancient scroll?"
"Yes." The eldest prince nodded calmly.
"What is the scroll derived from Tiandao?" Chu Yan asked via voice transmission, and Nan Yu Nishang explained: "Although the Holy Dynasty declined, some treasures were recorded. This scroll derived from Tiandao is one of them. Rumor has it that This is a picture that the ancestor of the Holy Emperor drew after he had a breakthrough in the Holy Emperor. He sat and observed it for a day, and drew it from his thoughts. It contains the meaning of the derivation of the way of heaven, and it is an extremely terrifying secret of the way of the Holy Way."
Chu Yan suddenly realized, was it created by the Holy Emperor?
"Imperial brother came early, can you comprehend it?" Nan Yu Nishang asked softly.
The eldest prince nodded: "I have understood it a bit. However, the Heavenly Dao Derivative Technique is the Holy Emperor's secret art created by the Holy Emperor ancestor back then. I can only understand some superficial knowledge, and I am still far from a true understanding."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zi Ba Long and the others. The eldest prince smiled lightly and said, "Brother Zi, the senior Holy Emperor Zi Yang is the top Holy Emperor in the Immortal Realm today, and you are his heir. Can you see some clues?"
Zi Ba Long looked up at the mural and said with an appreciative smile: "This scroll represents vitality and the peaceful coexistence of all people in the world. Presumably, the senior Holy Emperor Nan Yu was also a big man who sympathized with the world, so he would use such a scroll to express his feelings directly. .”
"Are you alive?"
The eldest prince heard the words and murmured, nodding with satisfaction: "Indeed, the ancestor of the Holy Emperor really hoped that the martial arts in the world would prosper and create a peaceful fairyland. It was a pity that the Breakthrough Immortal King fell and had no chance to display his blueprint. Brother Zi is worthy of being a Saint. The Queen has extraordinary eyesight."
"It's a pity that my level is not enough. I haven't reached the level of Saint Emperor, so I still can't see through the real secret skill in this scroll." Zi Balong said modestly, but his voice was very proud.
"Brother Zi can see that the vitality represented in the painting is very rare, so why be too modest." The eldest prince smiled, and then said: "It is rumored that every disciple of the Dragon Alliance has extraordinary talents. The three of you might as well study it together. ?”
"You're right. Now that you're here, why not study the ruins together so that you can open the imperial palace as soon as possible." The twelfth prince also smiled at the side.
"Haha, I'm afraid the two princes will be disappointed. This scroll is full of holy meaning. Even I can't see through it. The three of them..." Zi Ba Long sarcastically sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult."
"It doesn't hurt to give it a try." The eldest prince said nonchalantly, and then looked at Chu Yan: "Brother Chu, I heard that in addition to your extremely fast cultivation, you are also somewhat proficient in formations and immortal patterns, and have cracked major ruins in the Wushuang Realm. , try?”
"Master Chu, don't refuse. Even if you can't understand it, you can put forward some opinions, which will be good for us to break the formation. I have tried it before, but I didn't see anything." At this time, the person invited by the Twelve Prince also spoke. , is a casual cultivator named Empress Kong Ming, a high-level Immortal Emperor, who is smiling and approachable, and does not shy away from discovering anything.
Empress Kong Ming is quite optimistic about Chu Yan. She has heard of his name for a long time and admires this rising star.
Chu Yan turned around and looked, and Nan Yu Ni Chang nodded lightly. Compared to the others, Nan Yu Ni Chang had more confidence in Chu Yan.
"Okay, let me try." Chu Yan nodded, then looked up at the Tiandao derived picture scroll.
The Eyes of the Great World rotate to see reality and reality.
In an instant, the mural changed in front of his eyes. The next second, the clouds were drifting and the stream was flowing. The originally static mural actually started to move in Chu Yan's eyes.
Immediately, his face sank, because he discovered that this picture, which was originally full of peace and tranquility, turned out to be very depressing and dark.
The dormant tigers in the forest were ready to attack and devour the elk drinking water in the oasis. Then a more powerful monster emerged from under the sand dunes, biting the tiger to death in one bite and swallowing it in its belly.
After that, the clouds turned into thunder, and a bolt of lightning struck down, igniting the mountains and forests. Then a powerful practitioner stood up, faced the sky, and shattered the sky with one finger.
In just a short moment of evolution, Chu Yan seemed to be in a cruel world where the weak were treated as flesh and blood and the strong were treated as swords. Just like today's cultivation world, the weak eat the strong.
Seeing Chu Yan's change, Nan Yu Nishang frowned and whispered: "What's wrong?"
"No." Chu Yan woke up with a start, and suddenly a holy will evolved in his mind, and it turned into an ancient dossier.
Above the dossier, a few words were clearly written: Map of the Derivatives of Heavenly Dao.
"So, that's it..."
Looking at the dossier, Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh. He thought before that this was a harmonious and beautiful picture.
But at this moment, he realized that it was not derived from the so-called heavenly way at all. What was derived was the world of cultivation, a cruel and ruleless world.
As for this beautiful mural, it is just a prelude. The real meaning is what will happen behind this painting. Just as Chu Yan saw, after the calm, there is endless wind and rain.
"What did you see?" Zi Balong heard Chu Yan's muttering.
"This mural represents destruction." Chu Yan said calmly.
"Destruction?" Hearing this, Zibalong laughed loudly: "Such a peaceful mural, you actually say it represents destruction? Are you kidding?"
Not only Zi Ba Long, but also the eldest prince and others frowned and looked at Chu Yan displeased.
This is a picture scroll made by their ancestor. It is full of vitality and represents the lifelong wish of the Holy Emperor ancestor, but now it is said to be destroyed by Chu Yan?
"Hey, you didn't just say nonsense on purpose just to save face, did you? You also deliberately said it in the opposite direction of Brother Zi." The Twelve Prince sneered. To him, Chu Yan's words were too ridiculous, and Zi Tyrannosaurus said this mural was life, so he called it destruction?
Not only them, but Empress Kong Ming also frowned slightly when she heard this, looking at Chu Yan with a slightly disappointed look.
She didn't care whether Chu Yan could see through anything. After all, it was the Holy Emperor's file, but it was a bit sad to make nonsense like this in order to deliberately show off her differences and extraordinary insights.
"Tell me whatever you want, believe it or not," Chu Yan said nonchalantly, turning to look at Nan Yu Nichang: "Nichang, let's go in and take a look."
