Free Web NovelThe underground palace finally quieted down.
The Swordsmen looked at Li Jianxian's hammer and then at the 'Year Beast' not far away, and their taut nerves finally relaxed a little.
This damned sense of security.
"Did you, Old Bai, kill this Human-Faced Bat?"
Li Mo observed the Swordsmen for a moment and found that most of them were only a little out of breath and pale.
Only Bai Jinghong's face was green, with blood seeping from his chest, looking quite miserable.
"Just a slight...yue~~"
Bai Jinghong stood up, slightly raised his chin, not wanting to lose the Aura of a dashing Swordsman, but before he could finish showing off, the poison gas was agitated, and he bent over, throwing up a rainbow.
He even threw up bile.
After throwing up, he straightened his back, tears and snot streaming down his face, clearly unable to stand steadily, yet he said with «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» 'calmness':
"Just a slight effort."
Li Mo: "......"
Only his mouth is hard, so the problem shouldn't be big; it's good that his whole body isn't hard.
He took out an antidote Medicinal Pill and healing medicine from the System space and distributed them to the Swordsmen:
"First, take the Seven-Pattern Obscurity Dispelling Pill, then apply and ingest the Hundred Flowers Dew Cream."
Cao Mu, on the other hand, put away the Medicinal Pills Li Mo gave him; his injuries and poisoning were not severe, so he should save when he could and spend when he should.
How generous... He's giving out these life-saving Medicinal Pills like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"Where are the Elders?"
"This underground palace has a maze , and we got separated from the Elders."
Wu Chushu held the medicine bottle, looked at Li Mo and Ying Bing, and felt a mix of emotions.
When they met again, he was already fourth on the Qianlong Ranking.
So many of them were in such a sorry state, yet they didn't even have a speck of dirt on their clothes, strolling leisurely as if on a spring outing.
The difference between people is sometimes greater than the difference between people and dogs.
"He's showing off again, he's..."
"Old Wu, what are you muttering about?" Li Mo asked, puzzled.
"Thank you for the Pill!!"
"Just say thank you, why are you shouting so loudly...?"
Li Mo picked his ear.
"Brother Li, what are these?"
"Tomb-guarding beasts, all nurtured and grown by the spiritual evil Qi and Yin Qi from underground."
Li Mo explained, and couldn't help but recall the scene just now.
Another black Year Beast.
And...why did it recognize Ice Cube?
While he was pondering, Tian Miao's shout came from not far away:
"Come quickly, there's a new discovery here!"
Li Mo said to the Hengyun Three Heroes, "I'll go take a look," then took Ice Cube's hand and went towards Tian Miao.
Bai Jinghong, Wu Chushu, and Cao Mu watched their figures disappear into the light, and the surrounding darkness immediately deepened.
They looked at each other and swallowed in unison.
When Li Mo was there, it was as if an invisible wing covered them.
Now it was gone in a flash.
"Shall we...go take a look too?" Cao Mu said.
Bai Jinghong raised his chin: "How can I, Bai Jinghong, be left behind in my life? Let's go!"
Wu Chushu rubbed his nose: "I've always been very interested in archaeology, and I'm curious what they found."
Cao Mu was speechless: "Stop talking nonsense, they're almost gone."
So, the Swordsmen also followed suit, step by step.
They finally reached the end of this underground palace, where rows of bookshelves were placed. Some had already decayed and collapsed, and the ground was covered with thick ashes, which should be the product of weathered book pages, as there were no complete books visible on the shelves.
"This underground palace is a place similar to a Scripture Pavilion."
"Mm."
Ying Bing nodded gently, feeling a little regretful.
Finally, they saw Tian Miao's figure ahead; she was standing in front of a huge mural.
The protagonists of the mural were still the nine figures who descended from the Nine Heavens; they were currently fighting a group of terrifying beings with their followers.
Among those beings were giant cattle, like mountains, standing on one foot, covered in black scales, spewing wind and thunder from their nostrils.
Some had bodies of raging wind, heads like lions, and wherever they passed, there was only black sandstorm.
There were also those with strange bodies, dark red scales, winding for thousands of miles, and wherever they passed, everything became dark, and only when it opened its eyes did the world light up again with a sun.
Only that sun was crimson and terrifying.
"Are these all...real?"
Wu Chushu couldn't help but gasp, unable to imagine.
Bai Jinghong, Cao Mu, and the other Swordsmen were bewildered; this was beyond their worldview.
Even the Yao Race...
"According to my understanding, the content above should be like this..."
Tian Miao calmed the excitement in her tone and spoke slowly.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, the Human Race was still incredibly weak. At that time, the Dominators of the world were various Innate beings, and the powerful among them were like Gods and Demons."
"The Divine Intention we observe, the Human Race initially worshipped their power, imitated and learned from them, and it evolved from that."
Li Mo nodded. To this day, Xiangxingquan is still widely popular and is the mainstream of martial Dao.
Later, literary Dao and sword Dao appeared, probably because the Innate beings had all vanished, and the Human Race themselves comprehended and evolved from the world.
"So, the Nine Heavens killed the Gods and Demons?"
"Innate beings cannot be killed."
Tian Miao shook her head and said, "They have already merged with the 'Dao'. As long as the 'Dao' in the world exists, they will be immortal. However, after being reborn, it may not be the original one."
Her meaning was that if you killed a Ming Jiaolong symbolizing wind and rain, the wind and rain would still exist, and a new Ming Jiaolong would still be born, just not the original one.
There were many murals in this underground palace. They walked further back with the light and saw new content.
"These should be records of the temporary annihilation of Innate beings."
In the picture, the Human Race began to increase.
Under the leadership of the Nine Heavens and their followers, the Human Race prayed to the natural world, and new Innate beings were born.
But this time, what was different was that they no longer had their original ferocity and became the totems of the Human Race!
"Power of all beings!"
These four words appeared in Li Mo's mind.
"The Power of all beings, initially used by the Nine Heavens to control Innate beings, that is, the...shackles of those Dao?"
Ying Bing slightly narrowed her Ice Cube eyes, and at the same time, looked at Li Mo.
The two of them tacitly thought of the same thing. freēwebnovel.com
"Those priests who led the Human Race to pray to the world, or a part of them, were the predecessors of the Demon Summoning Sect?"
So the ancestral gods of the Demon Summoning Sect were indeed Nine Heavens Immortals, at least some of them.
Dream God....
He could wander through the dreams of countless beings and must have played an important role in it.
The people of Hengyun Sword City were dumbfounded.
The notorious Demon Summoning Sect of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths actually had such a history.
No wonder it has been so active to this day, despite being incompatible with the Great Yu Dynasty.
It turns out a starved camel is still bigger than a horse!
Rumble—
Suddenly, the entire underground palace shook at this moment, with earth-shattering commotion.
