Chapter 750: Stellar Sword Scroll
Chapter 750: Stellar Sword Scroll
Before long, Ye Guan and Qing Zhi arrived at the foot of a mountain range. Ye Guan looked up to see that the mountains stretched endlessly, with no end in sight. At the distant end of his vision, a few ancient trees towered into the sky, blocking out the sun.
Qing Zhi's expression was somewhat solemn. "This is the Shenxu Forest."
Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Qing Zhi, where are Qing Dai and Qing Mo now?"
When the Primordial Spirit Clan was in danger, these two did not appear.
Qing Zhi replied gravely, "They are both inside the Shenxu Forest."
Ye Guan was puzzled. "The Primordial Spirit Clan was in danger, and they didn't return?"
Qing Zhi shook her head. "I don't know why either."
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan said, "Let's go in and have a look."
Qing Zhi nodded.
Ye Guan was about to fly on his sword, but Qing Zhi stopped him. She shook her head, "There are very powerful restrictions here. If you fly on your sword, it will attract terrifying forces."
Ye Guan looked up and released his divine sense. As soon as his divine sense reached the sky, it was forcibly shattered by a terrifying force.
Seeing this, Ye Guan was a bit shocked, "Such a powerful force."
Qing Zhi nodded slightly. "This forest civilization is very powerful. Over the years, our Primordial Spirit Clan ancestors have continuously explored here. Those who were lucky enough to return have greatly improved their strength."
Ye Guan smiled. "I hope we can gain something as well."
With that, the two of them walked deeper into the forest. As soon as they entered the depths of the mountain range, Ye Guan felt many mysterious restrictions and seals.
Qing Zhi was evidently familiar with this place, leading Ye Guan to avoid many of the restrictions and seals.
Before long, they arrived at a pool of water. Above the pool was a thousand-meter cliff, with water constantly pouring down from it into the pool.
Qing Zhi said, "This is the Earth God Water Palace recorded by our ancestors."
"Earth God Water Palace?"
Qing Zhi nodded slightly, "In the depths of this pool, there is an underground palace called the Earth God Water Palace. Our ancestors of the Primordial Spirit Clan once gained great benefits from it."
She turned to Ye Guan and smiled. "Shall we take a look?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."
The two of them descended into the water. About half an hour later, they reached the depths of the pool. In front of them, a few hundred meters away, stood a palace made of a mysterious material that emitted a faint, dark glow. The entire palace had an eerie atmosphere.
Qing Zhi whispered, "According to our ancestor, this used to be a stronghold of the forest civilization. It once contained many divine artifacts and cultivation methods from that era, but now they've all disappeared."
Ye Guan suddenly asked, "There was a forest civilization expert with your clan leader earlier. Do you know anything about that?"
Qing Zhi replied solemnly, "I asked the clan elders, but they don't know either."
Ye Guan murmured, "Could it be that the forest civilization has returned?"
Qing Zhi shook her head, "Logically, it shouldn't be. If they have the ability to travel to other universe realms, it's unlikely they would come back here..."
Ye Guan smiled and said, "Let's go inside and take a look."
Qing Zhi nodded.
They walked into the palace. Inside the main hall, there were various bizarre statues, some resembling humans and others like mythical beasts. In addition, mysterious starry skies were painted on the walls around them.
Ye Guan looked at the walls and asked, "What are these?"
Qing Zhi said, "According to our ancestors, this is a map."
Ye Guan was taken aback. "A map?"
Qing Zhi nodded slightly. "Yes."
She glanced at the walls and continued, "These walls bear a map left behind by the forest civilization. It's said that following this map can lead to their universe. However, I'm not sure if it's true or not."
Ye Guan asked, "Didn't your ancestors from the Primordial Spirit Clan try to follow it?"
"They did, but they failed."
She added solemnly, "The ancestor who tried said it was too far, impossibly distant. Even though he had achieved ninety percent divinity, he couldn't reach that place."
Ye Guan looked around at the maps and then opened his palm, using his divine spell to copy all the maps. This might be something useful for Little Ai to study.
As if something crossed his mind, Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Why do you think they left these maps? Were they hoping for others to find them?"
Qing Zhi shook her head. "I don't know."
Ye Guan smiled. "Let's go."
He had already scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and confirmed there was nothing else of value here. Qing Zhi nodded and was about to leave with Ye Guan when suddenly, Little White and Erya appeared in the hall.
Seeing the two, Ye Guan quickly asked, "Is there a treasure?"
Little White nodded.
Ye Guan grinned. "Where?"
Little White looked around before fixing her gaze on the wall in front of them. It was another universe map, but nothing else seemed notable.
As Ye Guan and Qing Zhi watched in confusion, Little White extended her small paw. Mysterious energies began to flow towards the wall.
Soon, the map began to tremble slightly. Then, to the astonishment of Ye Guan and Qing Zhi, a mysterious scroll slowly emerged from the wall.
Ye Guan and Qing Zhi were instantly curious.
Little White glanced at the scroll and was about to put it away.
Ye Guan quickly asked, "Little White, what is this thing?"
Little White blinked, then waved her small paw rapidly.
Ye Guan turned to Erya for clarification. Erya said calmly, "She says she doesn't know either, but it's definitely something good. We should keep it for now."
Ye Guan's expression froze.
Qing Zhistared at Little White, her face full of smiles. She had taken a liking to this little creature at first sight. Little White was just too adorable.
Ye Guan hesitated, then asked, "Can I take a look?"
Little White didn't think much of it and handed the scroll to Ye Guan right away.
Seeing Little White's trust in him, Ye Guan felt touched. He took the scroll and opened it. Inside the scroll was a vast starry universe, filled with countless floating swords.
Seeing this, Ye Guan was stunned. "What is this?"
Little White peered over, blinking her eyes in confusion as well.
Erya glanced at it and said, "It appears to be a sword array."
Ye Guan looked at Erya, who continued, "Make it submit to you."
Then she turned to Little White and added, "This thing is suitable for our grandson. Let him have it."
Little White blinked and then looked at Ye Guan, extending her small paw.
Qing Zhi looked on, puzzled by what was happening. Ye Guan quickly took out a sugar-coated hawthorn stick and handed it to Little White. Little White grinned and accepted it.
Qing Zhi's expression froze. You sold it for a hawthorn stick? That's ridiculous!
Ye Guan focused on the scroll in his hand and bit his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto it. However, the scroll remained unresponsive, leaving Ye Guan confused.
At this moment, Erya spoke up, "Little White, help him out."
Little White nodded and patted the scroll with her small paw. The scroll trembled and then transformed into a beam of black light, entering Ye Guan's forehead.
Boom!
Instantly, Ye Guan felt the scroll integrate into his consciousness.
It had recognized him as its master!
With a thought, Ye Guan sensed countless ancient swords residing in a mysterious galaxy within his mind. With just a single command, he could summon these swords across time and space.
This realization left Ye Guan in awe.
The scroll's name was Stellar Sword Scroll. It contained a million mysterious ancient swords, constantly nurtured in a galaxy. When activated, the million swords could easily destroy an entire universe galaxy.
Ye Guan attempted to summon some of these swords but found it incredibly challenging. The exertion on his soul and energy was immense. To fully utilize the power of the million ancient swords, he would need to merge with Ao Qianqian.
Ye Guan couldn't help but look forward to testing the power of this new ability. However, he knew he couldn't test it casually because its power was too immense. At this moment, Erya suddenly suggested, "You can imbue those ancient swords with sword intent."
"That's right!"
Erya's words immediately reminded Ye Guan. He quickly tried it out, and in an instant, his invincible sword intent surged into the million ancient swords. As soon as the sword intent appeared, the swords began to tremble, emitting a terrifying pressure.
Ye Guan quickly stopped because, without merging with Ao Qianqian, his current strength was completely insufficient to control so many ancient swords imbued with sword intent.
Seeing Ye Guan's pale face, Erya said, "You need to improve your cultivation level."
Ye Guan nodded slightly, "Indeed."
He then opened his palm, and the Stellar Sword Scroll appeared in his hand. The power of this scroll was truly immense. Its power surpassed his current techniques and was second only to the Qingxuan Sword.
As if remembering something, Ye Guan suddenly looked at Little White and smiled, "Little White, do you have a lot of treasures?"
Little White blinked but didn't say anything.
Ye Guan was curious, "Among all your treasures, which one is the best? Can I see it?"
Little White suddenly took out an ancient book, but Erya quickly stopped her.
Erya said seriously, "You need to focus on solid progress right now. Using too many external items to help you isn't good, understand?"
Ye Guan laughed, "I'm just curious, I don't have any other intentions, really."
Erya nodded. "I believe you."
Despite her words, she hurriedly put the ancient book away.
Ye Guan's expression froze.
Qing Zhi was also curious, "What was that?"
Ye Guan was equally curious. For Little White to consider it her best treasure, it must be extraordinary.
Little White's small paws moved quickly.
Ye Guan was puzzled and looked at Erya. Erya said calmly, "She said that this girl is quite beautiful and would be a suitable wife for you."
Little White. "..."
Ye Guan. "..."
Qing Zhi. "..."
