Free Web NovelChapter 656: Chapter 31: Zhou Xun: This Trip Was Truly Worth It!
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this!
A Great Cultivator, this is a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, and there are only eleven of them in the entire Central Continent Cultivation Realm right now.
More importantly, although these five people’s cultivation levels are exceptionally high, there is still quite a distance to compare with a Great Cultivator.
And such a powerful figure fell here,
This also means they are likely to suffer the same fate.
True Monarch Thunder Prison furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "To bring about the fall of a Great Cultivator, this place must be extremely perilous, and the demon beast remains are definitely not ordinary. I wonder what kind of demon beast it was."
"At least it’s Tier Four High-Grade!" True Monarch Profound Thunder answered.
Upon hearing this, everyone became more vigilant,
Zhou Xun continued to investigate and suddenly discovered that the human race predecessor’s bones were slightly blackened, indicating that he suffered severe poisoning before he fell,
He then carefully inspected the demon beast remains, noticing cracks across its bones, suggesting it suffered incredibly intense attacks and was heavily injured before death.
Zhou Xun had a hypothesis:
"Could it be that this human race predecessor and this Demon Emperor fought a grand battle, resulting in mutual destruction and both perishing!"
"Very likely, otherwise the owner of the nest should have appeared since we’ve entered here!" True Monarch Thunder Prison nodded, agreeing with Zhou Xun’s guess.
"Strangely, I haven’t seen the predecessor’s Storage Bag or Magical Treasures. Even if he unfortunately fell, the treasures should still be here!" Zhou Xun expressed his doubts.
"Probably seized by other cultivators!" True Monarch Hong Chuan sighed, expressing a reasonable point,
This magnificent Thunder Prison has been famous since ancient times, with countless cultivators entering, so it’s normal for someone to have gotten ahead.
"Since there’s nothing else, we should leave soon!" True Monarch Profound Thunder nodded.
"Alright, let me first collect and bury the predecessor’s remains, then we’ll act immediately!" Zhou Xun waved his hand,
The scattered stones on the ground flew up, manipulated by him to the top of the human race’s remains,
Then he gave a point,
The stones fell down, covering the bones of this Great Cultivator, forming a simple grave.
"May the ancestor rest here!" Everyone paid their respects, mourning him.
Once completed, the group prepared to leave,
However, when they saw the dozens of tunnels within the stone chamber, they were momentarily at a loss, unsure which one to choose,
At that moment, Zhou Xun had an idea and spoke:
"Why don’t I try divination? I once learned the Divination Technique, which might be of help!"
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this,
"Younger Brother Zhou is indeed highly regarded by Alliance Leader Yu, even such a rare skill as divination is within his reach. This way, we won’t be afraid of failing to find an exit!"
True Monarch Profound Thunder laughed heartily, and the other three also looked relieved.
All this is due to the extraordinary and powerful nature of the Divination Technique,
In ancient times, there was once a Divinity Transformation Cultivator named ’Celestial Monarch Buluo’, who was renowned for his use of divination and claimed to ’know all under the heavens!’,
Good fortune, calamity, blessing, doom, all predicted correctly!
With this technique, this Ancient Great Power advanced steadily at every stage of cultivation, paving a secure path,
Achieving Divinity Transformation with Middle-Grade Spirit Root talent!
Since then, the divination technique’s status greatly elevated, but its heritage is scarce, and the entry difficulty is extremely high, making it rare.
In the vast Central Continent, only about twenty people can perform this technique.
Zhou Xun patted his Storage Bag at his waist,
A flash of Spirit Light, landing in front of him, transformed into a compass-shaped treasure!
"Small Divination Compass!"
Then Zhou Xun muttered words, forming a hand seal, pointing toward the compass,
A beam of Spirit Light flew out and merged within!
After a moment, the compass flashed with light, revealing a golden arrow pointing,
Everyone followed the direction, leading them to the northwest passage.
Overjoyed,
"Let’s quickly leave!" True Monarch Profound Thunder spoke, and proceeded towards the passage, with the others following,
Just as they were about to step into the tunnel.
"Squeak—"
A weak sound echoed, followed by a rapid approach of violent Spiritual Power aura!
"Not good, there’s a demon beast!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison shouted as he moved his hand forward,
A Black Seal rapidly enlarged, transforming to several zhang in size, blocking in front of him,
"Ding—"
A metallic collision sound followed.
"What is this?" True Monarch Profound Time exclaimed,
Only to see a demon beast about four to five zhang long, with a diameter of six to seven feet, appearing before the black seal,
The demon’s head was fierce, eyes filled with bloodlust, and its shell hard as iron, covered in Thunder Patterns with Thunder Light flashing.
Judging by the aura it emitted, it surprisingly reached Tier Four Middle-Grade Level!
"Most likely a descendant of the demon remains owner within the stone chamber!" Zhou Xun surmised,
Its form highly matched the remains, only slightly smaller.
"Everyone, let’s attack together, this demon won’t be easy to deal with, just now my Black Willow Seal was significantly damaged by that strike!" True Monarch Thunder Prison called urgently.
Upon hearing this, everyone began their assault,
Zhou Xun raised his hand and spread,
Nine Thunder Seeds flew out, forming nine Thunder Chains, intertwining to form a large net converging toward the centipede-like demon beast!
True Monarch Profound Thunder activated his Profound Thunder True Body, charging straight ahead, while the others used their various means to target the demon beast.
Magical Treasure brilliance flashed, with colorful Spirit Light dancing!
The demon beast sensed the powerful pressure from everyone,
Yet it did not retreat, instead let out an angry roar, its two antennas atop its head brightening, immediately forming a complex rune Thunder Shield before it!
