Free Web NovelXiao Li was very afraid that Tian Miao would fit a certain characteristic of a divine stick—that good predictions wouldn't come true, but bad ones would.
“If this object turns black and hot, it means it has sensed Evil Qi, indicating that a Ba is approaching. At that time, I will also sense it.”
Tian Miao took out a white jade pendant and said solemnly.
She handed the jade pendant to Li Mo.
Everyone began searching for clues in the underground palace. Tian Miao seemed very interested in this ancient underground palace and went ahead.
Her destiny showed no signs of misfortune, so Li Mo didn't suggest that the three of them go together.
And so.
Li Mo held the clam pearl in one hand and Ice Cube’s soft hand in the other, carefully searching the underground palace.
Midway, he tried to release his Yi Soul to expand the search range, but unfortunately, this underground palace seemed to confuse the Yi Soul’s perception. The Yi Soul, which could originally explore a hundred zhang in an instant, could now only perceive a few zhang around.
It was not as convenient as [N O V E L I G H T] looking with his eyes.
The two walked through the underground palace.
Xiao Li felt a sense of déjà vu, like going to a haunted house or an escape room with classmates in his previous life.
The reason Xiao Li was a Genius was because he had many bold ideas, so he was always very brave and found it boring every time he was dragged along to play.
Especially when he saw those young couples and Young Misses screaming and burrowing into the boys’ arms.
Now...
He seemed to suddenly know where the fun was.
“Ice Cube!”
Li Mo suddenly turned around with a serious expression, covering the white jade pendant in his arms: “The jade pendant, it seems to be getting hot.”
“?”
Hearing this, Ying Bing’s delicate brows furrowed, and she looked intently towards a nearby spot, but only saw a few statues there.
Their style was rather ancient, somewhat resembling the Wuling statues seen in the Demon Summoning Sect when they were in the Southern Frontier.
Where would a Ba come from?
But Xiao Li spoke as if it were true.
Ying Bing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her grip on his hand tightened.
“It seems... it doesn’t seem to be a Ba...”
Li Mo suddenly said with a horrified tone: “Is it possible... that it’s a vengeful spirit?! A ghost trapped in this great tomb for thousands of years, never seeing the light of day?!”
“?”
Ying Bing’s face was cold and clear, and she was about to reach for her sword, but then felt a bit strange.
Evil Qi is also a type of Yin Qi. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
If such an existence were present, she should have been the first to notice it.
Her peripheral vision caught sight of the white jade pendant in Li Mo’s arms; the sliver visible between his fingers was clearly still pure white.
The jade pendant hadn’t changed color.
Unless...
Ying Bing stared intently at Li Mo, and when Xiao Li met those ice-mirror-like eyes, his first reaction was to look to the left. He always did that when he felt guilty.
“...I saw it too.”
“Hmm?”
The usually serious Li Mo was stunned.
Shouldn’t Ice Cube be nervously clinging to him, then fearfully asking where the ghost was?
The way things were developing seemed a bit off!
“You... really saw it?”
“Yes, really, and it’s getting closer.” Ying Bing’s cold and clear face was utterly serious.
“!”
Xiao Li leaned back slightly.
He used to be quite brave because he was a staunch materialist in his previous life, but the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were different from the world of his previous life. Since things like Ba had appeared, ghosts seemed quite reasonable too...
Moreover, Ice Cube’s face was cold and clear, her lips slightly parted.
It inexplicably gave people a sense of ‘don’t say I didn’t warn you’...
Right, she was the Lunar Moon Phoenix physique, extremely sensitive to Yin Qi. Could it be!
“It’s here.”
Ying Bing suddenly looked behind Li Mo!
Li Mo shivered, turned around, and shielded Ice Cube behind him, letting her press tightly against his back, and picked up Forty in his hand.
But that spot was empty, with only a few ancient statues in the style of the Demon Summoning Sect.
“There’s nothing there...”
“Perhaps... I saw wrong.”
“?”
Ying Bing’s face was buried against his shoulder. She had originally thought Li Mo was deliberately trying to scare her, so she scared him back.
Then she would look at Li Mo with a half-smile, making him behave.
But before she could even show her half-smile, her face was suddenly buried in Li Mo’s shoulder, and she suddenly felt that his silly appearance wasn’t funny anymore.
“Saw wrong?”
Li Mo was puzzled, then realized, suspecting that the mischievous Ice Cube had just come online, but he had no evidence.
Just as he was about to speak, a shout came from the direction Tian Miao had gone.
“I found something, come take a look!”
“Coming right away!”
Li Mo responded, and with that interruption, he didn’t have time to ask again.
Ice Cube successfully bluffed her way through √
However, not long after the two left.
Creak, creak—
A faint sound suddenly came from the statues in the darkness, their outer layers rustling as they peeled off.
From one of them, the stone shell over its eyes peeled away, and a sinister, bloodthirsty green light abruptly shone forth.
....
Li Mo led Ying Bing, and the two quickly found Tian Miao. She was standing in front of a mural.
The mural was painted with Qilin smoke ink, and after many years, it still maintained its vibrant colors, making the depicted scenes still lifelike.
The first mural showed the heavens and earth splitting open with a large hole, floods raging, the sun extinguishing, and stars falling, a scene like the end of the world.
“This depicts the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! This is a major discovery.”
“Our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths very likely experienced a cataclysm, even to the brink of destruction.”
Tian Miao looked at the mural, her calm tone unable to hide her excitement.
This was a sealed history, never recorded in any of the Yantian Sect’s ancient texts.
Li Mo and Ying Bing exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other’s eyes.
jade phoenix god.
They had seen similar scenes in the jade phoenix god.
Strong cultivators left the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths one by one, and when they left, they also took away the ‘Dao’ that they had refined, causing gaps to appear in this world.
Thus, many Innate beings sacrificed themselves to mend the Dao, such as the Congenital Golden Crow.
And the owner of the jade phoenix god, that Nine-Colored Yuanhuang, traveled the world, preserving the embers of life from one being after another.
“Could what’s recorded on this mural be what happened after that?”
“Did the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths ultimately collapse?”
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming. Li Mo took a deep breath.
But now, the heavens and earth of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were clearly safe and sound.
Evidently, this mural was not yet complete.
Holding the glowing clam pearl, the three searched for a moment nearby and indeed found another mural.
The second one showed nine people dressed in strange clothes descending from a large hole in the sky. Thousands of creatures prostrated themselves around them, kneeling in worship.
Among the nine, a woman was at the head.
She wore a flowing, iridescent feather robe, exuding a natural and serene aura, with a benevolent and compassionate face.
“!”
The gentle woman seen in that jade phoenix god, that gentle and compassionate demeanor, was absolutely unique in the world.
Her face seemed to slowly become clear at this moment.
At the same time, it slowly overlapped with the already dilapidated statue in the Ying Family ancestral hall.
“She is... Nine-Colored Yuanhuang?”
“And also... the Ying Family ancestor?!”
Li Mo’s scalp tingled, and a flash of lightning crossed his mind.
Ying Bing’s small hand in his palm also suddenly curled up, clearly, Ying Bing’s heart was also churning with stormy waves.
