Chapter 1364: Chapter 1227: Double Stele Land, New Moon Land? Chapter 1364: Chapter 1227: Double Stele Land, New Moon Land? “Master Li, what kind of creature is this?” Chu Mu asked.
Inside the Wind Palace, the petrified, sealed statues represented some of the strongest creatures from an ancient time. They now all stood in the main hall like subjects, all facing the spacious throne. From their expressions, they showed reverence and fear towards the creature seated upon it.
From this, it could be seen that the creature on the throne was no ordinary being. It must have been an unimaginably formidable existence from a certain era; otherwise, why would so many powerful species, even now considered rare in the world, have become its subjects?
“I don’t know… I have never seen this creature.” Master Li shook his head and gave a wry smile.
“Is there an inscription underneath this seat? Can you understand it?” Chu Mu inquired.
Master Li still shook his head, “It’s too ancient, I haven’t studied these particular script very much.”
Finding no clue, Chu Mu then discovered a door behind the throne.
The frame of this door was a flood dragon, with all kinds of characters and symbols intricately engraved within it, complex and bewildering to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu tried to push with his hands, but as he exerted force, the characters on the door flashed, forming a kind of prohibition that pushed Chu Mu away.
“Young Master, this door can only be opened by solving the spell engraved above,” said Master Li.
Chu Mu gave a wry smile. He had already seen everything in the whole Wind Palace, just some statues in the main hall, and then this door. If he was unable to open the door, wouldn’t it mean he’d come away with nothing?
Chu Mu lingered for a long time but still came up empty-handed. He grew even more anxious to see what lay behind that spell-sealed door.
“Young Master, since this is the Qiankun Ice Gate, there’s no need to go through as much trouble as returning to the Wind-binding Sanctuary Gate to get back to Wanxiang City. Moreover, you also know the way. Why not go back to Wanxiang City first and bring the Little Princess with you? She has a deeper insight into ancient characters and, coupled with her knowledge and memories from the Dominator Demon Spirit, she will likely be able to provide an answer,” Master Li suggested.
Knowing he couldn’t do much by just staring at it, Chu Mu had no choice but to travel back to World City.
Returning to the Ice Mirror World, Chu Mu, walking alone, couldn’t help feeling bored. Fortunately, he went straight into cultivation, closing his eyes to rest his mind. Given Mo Ye’s speed, it shouldn’t take many days to reach the Qiankun Ice Gate.
After exiting the Qiankun Ice Gate, Chu Mu briefly rested in Snow City and then had the Soul Hall use a space talisman to send word to Wanxiang City, asking the Little Princess to come to Snow City.
Princess Jinrou often had nothing to do these days; occasionally, she would visit the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm to check on the Demon Spirits, spending most of her time in the palace reading books.
Everyone else had things to do, and she, being a ghost, drifting around, always felt somewhat bored.
When Chu Mu passed the word that he had found an ancient site and needed her interpretation, Princess Jinrou’s eyes lit up, and without a second thought, she flew toward Snow City.
Princess Jinrou had some powers of the Dominator Demon Spirit, so her flying speed was pretty fast. It didn’t take long before she met up with Chu Mu in Snow City.
“Weren’t you in the Wind-binding Sanctuary?” Upon seeing Chu Mu, Princess Jinrou immediately asked with curiosity.
Now that the seven Holy Temples of the Soul Hall had moved from World City to Wanxiang City, Jinrou wondered why, having already left the Wind-binding Sanctuary, he hadn’t greeted everyone before running off to such a distant place.
“It’s a long story,” Chu Mu said with a wry smile.
Princess Jinrou looked into Chu Mu’s eyes, her clear, curving eyes flashing a faint blue luster.
Then, with a light smile, Princess Jinrou said, “I see.”
“…” Chu Mu wanted to explain more, but he forgot that Princess Jinrou had the Mind Reading Technique and probably knew what he was thinking.
Chu Mu’s thoughts still lingered on the things behind that door, so he did not stay long in Snow City and headed back to the Qiankun Ice Gate.
The Ice Mirror World was still somewhat magnificent and silent; only this time, there wouldn’t be an awkward encounter like the one with Mu Qingyi before.
Soon, they reached the Wind Palace.
Inside the Wind Palace, everything was as before. Princess Jinrou, in a white, form-fitting long dress, drifted through the main hall, attempting to interpret all the script in the place.
Chu Mu, eager for what lay behind the door, suggested the Little Princess try whether she could open it.
After spending some time interpreting, Princess Jinrou said to Chu Mu after a long while, “Try pushing the door again, will you?”
Chu Mu placed his hands on both doors and pushed hard.
A gap immediately appeared between the two doors. The gap grew wider and wider, leaking out a thread of flame light.
The door opened, revealing an ancient chamber within. Flames that must have existed for thousands of years without ever being extinguished hung upon the chamber’s walls.
The firelight illuminated the entire chamber, and Chu Mu’s eyes glinted as he scanned the room, seeking treasures that might emit an unbearable brilliance!
Sure enough, in a corner, Chu Mu saw a specially condensed vortex. The force of the vortex was restrained and dense, definitely a Wind Element Xuan Object.
“The aura of the wind is very strong outside the Wind Palace. There’s a formation here that has been absorbing the essence of the wind for a long time, eventually forming a Wind Bead. This Wind Bead must have been nourished for a thousand years,” commented Master Li.
“Yeah, what level is it?” Chu Mu asked.
The things Chu Mu encountered now probably wouldn’t attract his attention unless they had a thousand years of history, but this also indicated that Dominator Level Xuan Objects were not easy to find. The World is vast, and there really aren’t many places that could quietly foster them for a thousand years.
“I don’t know, but since it’s a Wind Xuan Object, Young Master, you should give it to Qin to strengthen. In my opinion, this Wind Bead won’t be of a low level,” said Master Li.
Chu Mu nodded and comfortably pocketed the Xuan Object.
Beyond the Wind Palace, there existed three elements: wind, dark, ice.
Chu Mu had just been thinking, since there was a nurturing formation for wind, there must assuredly be ones for the attributes of dark and ice.
Sure enough, moments later, Chu Mu found both a Dark Bead and an Ice Bead in the other two corners. The profundity of these two Xuan Objects was quite dense, and Master Li’s judgment was that they were at least above level five.
“Are there no other kinds? Outside, there are all top-tier creatures. There couldn’t just be Dominator Level treasures, could there? Are there any that surpass the Dominator Level?” Chu Mu mused aloud.
Master Li rolled his eyes and said, “Young Master, your imagination is too wild. Xuan Objects that surpass the Dominator Level aren’t Xuan Objects; they’re Immortal objects! Since it’s been given an ‘Immortal’ character, do you think it would just appear that easily?”
“I’m just speaking hypothetically, what’s got you so excited?” Chu Mu replied.
While speaking, Chu Mu’s gaze fell on Princess Jinrou, who was half-hovering against a wall, focused on the text there.
“Perhaps there truly are Immortal objects here,” murmured Princess Jinrou.
Master Li, full of disdain, insisted, “That’s impossible. How could such things as Immortal objects exist in New Moon Land?”
Princess Jinrou ignored Master Li’s rebuttal. Instead, she “pulled” Chu Mu to her side and, with her fair and translucent fingers pointing at the text, she began to speak, “It records some matters of New Moon Land older than humanity. This ‘ancient’ must be from before humans.”
“Before humans?” Chu Mu’s interest was piqued quickly.
“Yes, the human history of New Moon Land is about three thousand years, which indeed seems very long for us humans with lifespans averaging around a hundred. However, before humans possessed this land, other creatures inhabited New Moon Land, and it’s very possible that those petrified in the Main Hall and their descendants are the ones,” Princess Jinrou narrated slowly.
“That seems unlikely, don’t you think? Any one of those creatures is of Dominator Level species ranking. How could these creatures inhabit the barren New Moon Land? The resources of New Moon Land should not be enough to sustain them,” said Master Li.
“I don’t understand that part for now, but I’ve read in some external historical records that our New Moon Land seems to have another name…” Princess Jinrou continued.
“What name?”
“Double Stele Land!”
Double Stele Land, for some reason, upon hearing this term, Chu Mu’s body slightly shivered, and in his subconscious, images of two solitary giant monuments standing from the Continent reaching into Heaven emerged.
“Heavenly Boundary Monument… Our New Moon Land indeed has two Heavenly Boundary Monuments!” Chu Mu blurted out.
As he spoke, Princess Jinrou pulled Chu Mu closer and pointed to the last line of characters on the mural, and said to him, “The preceding part is the record about the Heavenly Boundary Monument. It means for us to go to the Heavenly Boundary Monument. There’s a passage there, and if we can see it, then the next part of the interpretation will appear on the other side of the mural. I think the real secret of New Moon Land must be written on that other wall, but it seems the key is on the Heavenly Boundary Monument.”
“So we’ve got to make a trip to the Heavenly Boundary Monument?” Chu Mu inquired.
Princess Jinrou nodded.
“Alright, let’s take a look; maybe we’ll inadvertently solve some millennium-old mystery,” Chu Mu optimistically stated.
In fact, Chu Mu was also very curious, and this matter also concerned the Heavenly Boundary Monument. Chu Mu, who had an inexplicable connection with the Heavenly Boundary Monument, had no reason not to pursue this mystery further.
Before leaving, Chu Mu scoured the Wind Palace once more, and after not finding anything else, he left in disappointment.
Actually, with three Xuan Objects in hand, Chu Mu was quite satisfied. Moreover, Master Li’s assessment seemed conservative. The Xuan Object was probably not just as simple as level five. If luck had it, another High-level Master might be forged, making this long journey truly lucrative.
And, it seemed Princess Jinrou mentioned that there might indeed be Immortal objects here!!
