Chapter 5923: Find Out Soon
Others might think that these stories were nonsense or mere legends, especially those in the mortal world. As for cultivators, they would never come here, let alone listen to these rambling mortals.
Chu Zhu, on the other hand, thought about the calamity after hearing mentions of the flood.
âWhat are your ancestorsâ names?â She couldnât help but ask.
The older villagers exchanged glances and couldnât answer.
âWe donât know outside of Elder Songhao.â The village chief answered honestly: âHe was the oldest among our ancestors, an immortal capable of refining pills that can turn a chicken into a phoenix.â
âUsing the fire insect, right?â Chu Zhu asked while other cultivators would have snorted.
âAccording to the legends, yes.â The village chief said: âThe insect can spill out immortal pills.â
They didnât know the cultivation world and used the word âimmortalâ excessively. Of course, in their eyes, a cultivator living ten thousand years or so was immortal.
âThen where are they now?â Chu Zhu asked.
âThe final story spoke of the sea monsters from the flood. Our ancestors sacrificed themselves to save this world, so theyâre not around anymore.â The village chief answered.
âThereâs more to it.â Another old man said: âWhat happened was the last survivor, Elder Songhao, brought all of the descendants to this place to save them. He succumbed to injuries later.â
âThatâs why we only remember Elder Songhaoâs name, everyone else died in battle.â An old woman agreed.
Chu Zhu didnât think they were fabricating stories to elevate their ancestorsâ prestige. There seemed to be a hint of truth behind this.
The villagers watched in astonishment as if turned and shifted, the components arranged themselves with repetitive clicks and clacks. Even now, Chu Zhu still didnât know the purpose of this transforming shrine.
Li Qiye casually tossed it on the ground and it began to grow taller and taller.
âWhatâs going on?!â The mortals had never witnessed such a miraculous phenomenon in this barren land before.
The men gripped their spear tightly while slowly retreating, still gazing at the unknown item. Everyone else ran back to their house, only peeking out to watch the transformation.
âA treasure indeed...â Chu Zhu murmured.
The shrine eventually engulfed the stone mound at the center, looking like an unbreakable prison.
âAh, a hidden ace card after all.â Li Qiye smiled and patted the wall of the palace.
Dao laws emerged in resonation, releasing waves of power capable of crushing heaven and earth.
Mortals couldnât resist and were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
âHow formidable!â Chu Zhu found this shocking.
The palace started spreading into a majestic pass with figures standing above. Two particularly stood out - two supreme beauties.
One was clad in gleaming armor, looking like a venerable god standing above all despite her petite figure. Her sword radiated Buddhist light, capable of summoning a kingdom to bring peace and slay evil.
âShe is...â Chu Zhu immediately thought about a legend, not expecting to see this figure with her own eyes.
