Chapter 305 Death Tombstone

When they were about to leave the cave, they suddenly found a huge stone door deep in the cave! This stone door exudes a mysterious light as if telling an ancient story...

"What is this?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Yao Chi Saint shook her head, "But I feel that this stone door may hide a bigger secret..."

"Then should we go in and take a look?" Gu Sheng asked hesitantly.

Yao Chi Saint took a deep breath and said firmly: "Since we have come here, we can't give up halfway! No matter what difficulties and challenges are ahead, we must face them bravely!"

Gu Sheng felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this, and he held Yao Chi Saint's hand tightly, "Okay! Let's go in and take a look together!"

Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint walked into the stone door maze hand in hand, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere came to their faces. The light in the maze was dim, but the two had a high level of cultivation, and they could see things as bright as day even in the dark.

"This seems to be a maze." Gu Sheng looked around and said.

"Well, we have to be careful." Yao Chi Saint reminded, her voice echoing in the empty maze, with a hint of mystery and remoteness.

The two walked forward cautiously, and suddenly, a strange sound came, and many small holes suddenly appeared on the walls around them, and then arrows shot out from the holes, pointing directly at them!

"Be careful!" Gu Sheng shouted, pulling Yao Chi Saint to dodge quickly. The arrows brushed past them, narrowly avoiding them.

"There is a mechanism here!" Yao Chi Saint said in surprise.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, "No matter what mechanism it is, it can't stop us from moving forward!" After that, he activated the Nine Swords of Gale, and his figure shuttled through the maze like the wind, and every swing of the sword shot down the arrows one by one.

Yao Chi Saint was not to be outdone, she used the Yao Chi Saint Realm skills, and every attack was accompanied by the fairyland vision of Yao Chi. She waved her jade hand lightly, and colorful petals fell from the sky, smashing the arrows one by one.

The two went hand in hand and soon passed the first level. However, the road ahead was still long, and they knew that the next challenge would be more difficult.

They continued to go deeper into the maze, and gradually found that this maze seemed to have its own life, and every turn might encounter new traps and challenges. But the two relied on their extraordinary cultivation and tacit cooperation to escape danger again and again.

They came to the depths of the maze. There was a huge stone door in front of them, engraved with ancient runes and patterns. These runes and patterns emitted a faint light, as if telling some ancient story.

"It seems that this is the last level." Gu Sheng said.

The Saint of Yao Chi nodded, "We have to be careful, this stone door may hide a powerful enemy."

The two smiled at each other and then prepared for battle. They knew that the next battle would be decisive.

Just as they were about to push the stone door open, the stone door suddenly opened by itself! A strong breath surged out from the door, and then a tall figure walked out from inside. This was a mysterious man in a black robe, with a hideous mask on his face, and a strong breath all over his body.

"Hahaha! You two juniors are finally here! I've been waiting for so long!" The black-robed man said with a sinister smile.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.

"Humph! You two juniors are not qualified to know my identity!" The black-robed man snorted coldly, "But since you have already broken into here, let me show you the real power!" After that, he flashed and launched a fierce attack on Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint!

Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint were well prepared, and they joined forces to resist the attack of the black-robed man. Gu Sheng used the Nine Swords of Gale and the Free and Easy Immortal Steps, and his figure shuttled around the black-robed man like the wind, and every time he swung his sword, he pointed directly at the black-robed man's vitals.

The Saint of Yaochi used the Yaochi Holy Realm technique, and colorful petals flew out of her hands, dissolving the attacks of the man in black robe one by one.

The man in black robe was furious when he saw this, "How dare you two juniors go against me! You are really courting death!" He dodged Gu Sheng's attack and then slapped the Saint of Yaochi with his palm! This palm contained a powerful force, as if it could destroy all obstacles!

Just when his palm was about to touch the Saint of Yaochi, Gu Sheng suddenly flashed out from the side and stabbed his wrist with a sword! The man in black robe was startled and quickly withdrew his hand to avoid it. But Gu Sheng's swordsmanship was so exquisite that with a light "puff", the wrist of the man in black robe was pierced by Gu Sheng's sword! Blood was immediately dripping!

"Ah!"

The man in black robe screamed and took a few steps back. He stared at Gu Sheng and the Saint of Yaochi angrily, "How dare you two juniors hurt me! I will make you pay the price!"

After that, he flashed and launched a fierce attack on the two again! But Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saintess already had experience. They joined forces to resist the attacks of the black-robed man and gradually found his flaws.

After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saintess finally severely damaged the black-robed man! The black-robed man fell to the ground groaning in pain and had lost his fighting power.

Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saintess were also exhausted and panting.

When they were about to leave the Stone Gate Maze, Gu Sheng suddenly found a stone tablet in the center of the Stone Gate Maze.

This stone tablet was engraved with ancient runes and patterns, which emitted a faint light, as if telling some ancient story.

Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint approached the stone tablet curiously, and saw a passage engraved on the stone tablet: "The secret of the Taichu Ancient Mine is hidden deep in the maze. Only those who are destined to see it can see it, and those who see it will have great fortune."

The two looked at each other, as if they didn't see any big secrets, great fortune.

"Is there any other secret inside?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and planned to look back. Yao Chi Saint saw what Gu Sheng meant. She was thinking the same thing and wanted to stay with Gu Sheng for a while.

Once she returned to the Yao Chi Holy Land, she had to be her Yao Chi Saint again and keep a proper distance from Gu Sheng.

"Then let's go in and check it out. Just now, we were only concerned with dealing with the hidden arrows and the black-robed man, and didn't pay attention to exploring the opportunities inside."

Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint looked at each other, and their eyes revealed expectations and curiosity about the unknown. The two stepped into this mysterious and ancient maze again, determined to explore the ancient secrets hidden deep inside.

"This place seems to be a little different from before." Gu Sheng looked around and frowned.

"Well, there is indeed a strange atmosphere." Yao Chi Saint echoed softly, her expression was solemn, and she obviously felt the unusualness of this place.

The two moved forward cautiously and soon encountered a remnant soul of the ancient times. After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated the remnant soul and came to the deepest part of the maze.

There, they found an ancient tombstone with traces of years engraved on it. Gu Sheng walked forward and carefully examined the words on the tombstone, but found that he could not recognize them.

"These words seem to be encrypted by some kind of power." Yao Chi Saint said softly, she also tried to decipher the secrets on the tombstone, but also to no avail.

Just then, Gu Sheng noticed that there seemed to be blood on the corner of the tombstone. He reached out to touch it, but accidentally cut his finger on the edge of the tombstone. A drop of blood dripped on the tombstone and disappeared in an instant.

Then, the tombstone began to emit a faint light, and an ancient image slowly emerged. The first thing that appeared on the screen was two babies, one of whom was the baby girl Shi Ling they had cut out before. The screen gradually went backwards, and the two babies became a pair of people - Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling.

Zhan Fengyun held the Jade Girl Seven-Colored Sword, and looked heroic; Shi Ling was dressed in white clothes, with rainbows lingering around her, like a fairy descending to the earth. The two of them used their swords together to fight against a killer general surrounded by black air - Xiao Moshen.

The scene of the ancient battlefield shocked Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint. They saw the scene of corpses and blood all over the ground, as well as the ruins left by the fights of the gods. All this showed the cruelty and tragedy of that era.

"Is this the ancient battlefield?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, "It's so tragic."

"Well," Yao Chi Saint sighed, "People in that era fought for survival and paid a huge price."

In the picture, Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling fought fiercely with Xiao Moshen. The battle between the three was extremely tragic, and every confrontation seemed to be able to tear the void. Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling cooperated well, and the power of the two swords combined was amazing; while Xiao Moshen relied on the halberd in his hand and the surrounding black air to resist.

As time went by, Xiao Moshen gradually lost to the two people. At this moment, a black tombstone suddenly appeared behind him. The tombstone was surrounded by a black cloud, exuding boundless power. This power seemed to be able to destroy all living things.

The image fell into darkness at this moment... When the image became clear again, Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint were surprised to find that the battlefield had disappeared, replaced by a desolate and dilapidated area.

"What happened?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

"That black tombstone..." Yao Chi Saint seemed to think of something, "Could it be the legendary 'Death Tombstone'? It is said that it can devour the souls and power of all living things."

Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this, "If that's the case, then Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling are..."

The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes. They knew that this ancient secret might hide more mysteries and crises. In order to find the truth and prevent possible disasters, they decided to continue to investigate the maze and the mysterious "tombstone of the god of death".

Gu Sheng and the Saint of Yao Chi stood in the depths of the maze. The "tombstone of the god of death" in front of them emitted a faint black light, like a bottomless black hole, swallowing all the light around it.

They were about to leave this mysterious and dangerous place, when suddenly, the whole maze began to vibrate violently, as if a powerful force was surging underground.

"No, there is a situation!" Gu Sheng tightly grasped the Jade Girl Seven-Colored Sword and looked around with a serious expression.

The Saint of Yao Chi also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. The jade bottle in her hand began to flash with dazzling light, ready to deal with the impending crisis at any time.

The roar continued and the vibration became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a huge gap opened under the "tombstone of the god of death", and a strong and suffocating breath rushed out of it and rushed into the sky. This breath was so powerful that it seemed to be able to tear the void and make the entire Zhongzhou continent tremble.

As the crack expanded, a huge figure gradually appeared. It was an ancient creature that had been suppressed by the "Death Tombstone" for countless years. It exuded a terrifying aura and its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light. Its appearance seemed to foreshadow the advent of the end of the world.

"What kind of creature is this? It's so powerful!" Gu Sheng exclaimed.

"Not sure, but we must leave here immediately." Yao Chi Saint felt that the aura of destruction was approaching, and she knew that if they did not leave immediately, they might be in danger of their lives.

The two of them flashed and rushed to the exit of the maze quickly. However, the powerful aura followed them like a shadow, as if it would swallow them at any time.

Just as they were about to rush out of the maze, a grand voice sounded over the Zhongzhou Continent: "Who dares to disturb my sleep! I will make you pay the price!"

This voice was full of majesty and anger, making all living beings tremble. Gu Sheng and Yao Chi Saint felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if a mountain was pressing on their hearts.

They knew that this was the roar of the ancient creature. If they were discovered by it, they would probably be destroyed in an instant. Therefore, they did not dare to stop at all and rushed out of the maze at the fastest speed.

When they stood outside the Taichu Ancient Mine again, looking back at the mysterious and dangerous maze, their hearts were full of fear. They knew that it was a blessing to be able to escape and ascend to heaven this time.

Afterwards, a large number of strong men came to the Taichu Ancient Mine from all directions. They were all attracted by the powerful aura, but when they arrived, the aura disappeared.

It was as if nothing had happened.

After the two walked out of the Taichu Ancient Mine Secret Realm, they returned to the Yaochi Holy Land to repair.

Gu Sheng's current status in the Yaochi Holy Land is already extraordinary, and even the mountain guardian elder Ji Pingping dare not complain.

He can now freely enter and exit the Yaochi Saint's Stargazing Courtyard, which is a unique honor.

Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saint returned from the Taichu Ancient Mine Secret Realm, still carrying some dust and fatigue from the ancient battlefield.

The moment they stepped into the Yaochi Holy Land, all the fatigue seemed to be washed away.

"Gu Sheng, you're back!" Su Yao was sharp-eyed and was the first to discover Gu Sheng's figure, and greeted him happily.

"Yes, I'm back." Gu Sheng responded with a smile. His eyes moved around Su Yao, Qin Xuan and other fairies, and finally fixed on the Saint of Yaochi. "This trip to the secret realm has yielded a lot of gains."

"Oh? What did you gain? Share it with us!" Elder Ziwei also came over after hearing the voice. She was a middle-aged beauty with a charming look. There was endless charm flowing between her eyebrows.

Gu Sheng smiled at the Saint, and then said: "We found a lot of secrets about the ancient battlefield in the Taichu Ancient Mine, as well as the legends of those mysterious tombstones..." (End of this chapter)
