Chapter 389 May I Ask the Heavens, Is There an Immortal?

When they cautiously entered the hall, the sight in front of them made them slow down involuntarily.

In the main hall, seaweed and seaweed intertwined into a green ocean.

They sway gently with the weak current, appearing free and carefree.

But under the cover of these plants, the outlines of some stone statues can be vaguely seen.

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and explored the location where the light had just been lit.

"careful!"

The girl in purple clothes on the side saw Gu Sheng's actions and couldn't help but remind her.

"What? Do you know you care about me?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and said with a smile.

"Don't be poor. It's not as simple as you think. It's better to be careful."

The girl in purple pouted and said this, but she was still worried in her heart.

Then, Gu Sheng stretched out his hand and gently pulled away the seaweed in front of him.

"Bang!"

I saw a fist-sized crystal falling to the ground.

Gu Sheng bent down and picked it up. Disappointingly, the crystal was broken.

Judging from the broken marks, it should have happened after a strong impact.

But even with the broken crystal, Gu Sheng could feel that it contained a mysterious and powerful power.

"There are really good things here!"

The purple-clothed girl's eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a treasure.

She looked around and then suggested to Gu Sheng: "Move all these seaweeds aside, maybe there are better ones down there!"

"OK!"

Gu Sheng responded, then stretched out his hand and gently touched the surrounding seaweed.

After activating the divine power in his body, an invisible wave spread from his palm.

The seaweed and seagrass seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly retreating in all directions.

As the seaweed was removed, the true appearance of the hall was gradually revealed in front of them.

"This...this..."

The girl in clothes opened her eyes wide in surprise, and was so excited that she was speechless.

I saw more than a dozen stone statues standing in the main hall. Each stone statue was carved lifelike, as if it would come alive at any time.

These stone statues are standing or sitting in different postures.

And all these stone statues seem to have some weapons in their hands.

But because he has been at the bottom of the lake all year round, the weapons in his hands have already been stained with rust.

Gu Sheng and the girl in purple looked at each other, and they could see shock and curiosity in each other's eyes.

They began to walk among the stone statues, observing the details of each stone statue.

These stone statues have different faces, some have kind eyebrows and some have angry eyes.

But judging from their faces and attire, they should have cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Are these stone statues the gods protecting this place?"

Gu Sheng asked softly in disbelief.

The girl in purple didn't answer, her eyes were attracted by a particularly tall stone statue.

The stone statue seems to be holding some kind of object in its hands, but due to its age, the specific shape of the object has been difficult to identify.

She stepped forward and reached out to gently touch the object in the stone statue's hand, trying to feel the power contained in it.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the hand of the stone statue, illuminating the entire hall.

Gu Sheng and the girl in purple hurriedly backed away and looked around cautiously.

In the light, the stone statue seemed to come alive.

Their eyes slowly opened, and rays of light shot out from their eyes, intertwining into a network of light that enveloped the entire hall.

The girl in purple grabbed Gu Sheng's arm nervously, "What's going on? Did we trigger some mechanism?"

Gu Sheng stared closely at the stone statues and felt the ancient power contained in these lights.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Gu Sheng comforted in a low voice.

As the light gradually dissipated, the stone statue returned to its still state.

Then, the outer stone of the stone statue began to peel off.

Soon, the faces hidden under each stone statue gradually became clear.

Their expressions are vivid, as if they are telling ancient stories.

The weapons in the hands of the stone statues are also carefully crafted. Whether they are long swords, bows and arrows, or war hammers, each one is exquisite and full of artistry and power.

"How...how could this happen?"

Gu Sheng and the girl in purple were startled by this sudden change.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts and warning.

Gu Sheng plucked up the courage and tentatively asked the nearest stone statue: "You... who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone statue suddenly shook.

Its facial expression became distorted in an instant, and the weapon in its hand began to slowly rise.

Then, under the astonished gazes of Gu Sheng and the purple-clothed girl, the stone statue and the weapons in their hands instantly turned into powder.

It's like all this never existed.

Gu Sheng quickly turned to the other stone statues.

I saw that they were also beginning to show signs of peeling.

After each stone statue revealed its hidden true form, it inevitably turned into dust and merged with the lake water.

The process was so rapid that they barely had time to react.

"What...what's going on? They've all disappeared."

The purple-clothed girl quickly retreated, her eyes filled with fear.

Gu Sheng tried his best to stay calm, because he knew that panic would only bring greater danger.

"These stone statues may have been ancient guardians. Now, they have completed their mission and disappeared into nothingness."

Gu Sheng sighed slightly and sighed.

After speaking, Gu Sheng suddenly discovered that after each stone statue disappeared, a small stone was left behind.

Gu Sheng stepped forward and looked at the palm-sized stone.

I saw some unknown words on it.

"What's this?"

Gu Sheng then picked up a stone and looked at it.

The girl in purple came forward to take a look and was stunned.

"This is an ancient Chinese character in the Eastern Wilderness. It reads the word 'Heaven'."

The girl in purple said directly.

"Um?"

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, staring into the purple-clothed girl's eyes with suspicion and asked, "How do you know this writing from the ancient times of the Eastern Wilderness, how many years ago do you know it?"

"I……"

The purple-clothed girl's eyes were a little dodgey.

Gu Sheng's eyes became sharper.

He stared at the girl in purple, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul.

"Tell me, who are you? Why are you so familiar with this ancient text in the Eastern Wasteland?"

The girl in purple felt Gu Sheng's questioning, her eyes no longer dodge, but became firm and clear.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "My name is Ji Ziyue. I grew up in the Ji family since I was a child. I am familiar with the history of the Eastern Wasteland, so I naturally have some understanding of these ancient characters."

When Gu Sheng heard this kind name, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"You go on."

Gu Sheng gestured.

"This Bronze Immortal Palace is actually the secret energy point that our Ji family has been looking for. It hides the ancient power of the Eastern Wasteland and is the key to the revival of our Ji family. But I didn't expect that under such a coincidence, Discover it with you.”

Ji Ziyue explained.

Gu Sheng's brows furrowed. He didn't expect that a stone he accidentally picked up would be involved in such a major secret.

"So, what exactly is hidden in this Bronze Immortal Palace?"

Gu Sheng said, preparing to pick up other stones as well.

"Don't move!"

Ji Ziyue quickly stopped him.

Gu Sheng stopped what he was doing, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Gu Sheng stop his movements, Ji Ziyue explained: "The stones around these stone statues are not placed randomly, they are arranged in a specific order."

After hearing this, Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with light.

He looked at Ji Ziyue seriously, waiting for her to continue explaining.

Ji Ziyue pointed to the surrounding stones and continued: "If these stones are arranged in the correct order, the hidden information will be revealed."

Following Ji Ziyue's guidance, Gu Sheng carefully picked up the stones one by one and rearranged them in the order she said.

As the last stone was placed, eight ancient characters appeared on the ground: "I dare to ask the sky, is the immortal here?".

"What! This..."

Gu Sheng looked at these eight words in shock.

He did not expect that the cultivators who arranged these stone statues were also asking whether immortals existed.

This is not only an exploration of the unknown, but also a yearning and pursuit of something otherworldly.

Perhaps the cultivators at that time, like Gu Sheng now, were full of curiosity about the so-called "immortals".

Ji Ziyue also showed a hint of emotion in her eyes.

After she settled down, she said softly: "These words represent the awe of the ancient cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland for heaven and earth, and their yearning for the realm of immortals. They believe that as long as they ask questions sincerely, they will one day reach the realm of immortals. "

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented shock.

He turned to look at Ji Ziyue and said seriously: "Now that we have found the clues to open the Immortal Palace, let us continue to explore and see if we can uncover the secrets of this ancient Eastern Wasteland."

"boom!!!"

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, a roar came instantly.

Gu Sheng reacted quickly and quickly pulled Ji Ziyue aside.

After the roar, the energy fluctuations at the bottom of the lake spread out in circles like ripples.

The whole space seemed to be shaking, like an earthquake under the sea.

As the fluctuations gradually subsided, the scene at the bottom of the lake was revealed.

But what appeared in front of Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue were piles of bones.

Those bones were piled up in the center of the Immortal Palace, which looked particularly shocking.

Gu Sheng's face was solemn. He never expected that such a heavy history would be revealed.

However, Ji Ziyue seemed relatively calm.

At this time, there was both mourning and respect for these ancestors in her eyes.

"These are countless cultivators from the ancient times of the Eastern Wasteland to the present who yearn for the treasures of the Bronze Immortal Palace."

Ji Ziyue explained slowly, her words seemed very calm and natural.

"What? A powerful cultivator?"

Gu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.

He stepped forward and looked at the bones.

Yes, these bones are old.

But if it belonged to an ordinary person, it would have already rotted away.

However, these are powerful cultivators, so they are not completely decayed, which is also a sign of the remnants of their divine power.

"These people, in order to obtain the mysterious power in the Immortal Palace, or because of traps, were unable to leave here in the end. Their bones can also be regarded as witnesses to this history."

Ji Ziyue told Gu Sheng the origin and purpose of these seniors.

…

Gu Sheng was silent for a long time.

He knew that he was standing on a piece of ancient history, and any cultivator in front of a corpse could defeat him.

"So what do we do now?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Ji Ziyue laughed miserably: "Try not to become one of them."

"What's that?"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng discovered that there seemed to be two holes behind the pile of bones.

Gu Sheng suddenly exerted force and pushed these bones aside.

Suddenly, a copper wall appeared in front of the two of them.

The experienced Gu Sheng could tell at a glance that there were two holes in the huge copper wall.

Just because this bronze fairy palace has always been at the bottom of the lake, it is hidden by a thick layer of moss.

Gu Sheng picked up a leg bone and removed the moss attached to the hole.

After the moss was removed, two deep light holes appeared in front of them.

There is a faint light coming out of the hole, which seems to be connected to another unknown space.

What's even more striking is that there are some special runes carved above the entrance of the cave.

These runes exude a faint light, as if they contain some mysterious power.

Ji Ziyue stared at these runes, a flash of understanding flashing in her eyes.

"This is the ancient rune of life and death in the Eastern Wasteland. The hole on the left is engraved with 'life', and the one on the right is 'death'."

Ji Ziyue explained.

After saying that, she sighed heavily, seeming to feel a hint of despair.

Gu Sheng frowned and could feel that the auras emanating from the two caves were completely different.

Here, one is full of life and vitality, while the other is filled with death and silence.

"We are in a desperate situation. It may be safer to choose a light cave with the word '生' engraved on it."

Ji Ziyue suggested.

When she said this, she involuntarily moved a little toward the hole.

However, Gu Sheng shook his head, "No, I think we should go through the light cave with the word 'death' engraved on it."

"What?"

Ji Ziyue was stunned by his words. She looked at Gu Sheng in confusion, wondering why he made such a choice.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "In such an ancient and mysterious place, the most dangerous places often also hide the greatest opportunities. If you look at these bones, you should know why they are all dead."

Ji Ziyue was silent.

For someone like her who is familiar with the history of the Eastern Wasteland, this makes sense.

In this ancient land of the Eastern Wasteland, every step is full of unknowns and dangers, but it is also full of opportunities.

She looked at Gu Sheng, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

After a while of silence, Ji Ziyue seemed to have figured it out.

Because life and death are no longer important to her.

"Okay! Then let's go through the 'dead' hole!"

Ji Ziyue said with a relieved look.

"Um."

Gu Sheng nodded and led Ji Ziyue towards the death cave.

But at the moment when he was about to step into the death hole, a soft sound of music came.

The sound is melodious and pleasant, giving people a kind, natural, yet comfortable and peaceful feeling.

"What sound?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and asked Ji Ziyue beside him.

"It seems...it seems to have been played by a harp."

Ji Ziyue suddenly flashed her big eyes and replied smartly and cutely. (End of chapter)
