Chapter 914 Chapter 914: The Mysterious Ancient City
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins Boom Boom!
The ear-splitting explosions echoed from the deep place in the massive pit . It seemed like something giant was about to emerge .
The massive pit was larger than ten mu and it seemed to be almost bottomless . The subterranean gravity inside the pit was hundreds or even one thousand times stronger than gravity on the surface . Even Na Xin who was at Ethereal God Realm didn't dare to jump in rashly .
Each of the sixteen mountains had the Myriad Weighty Stone as its core . The mountains acted like a load of a lever . Once they sank deep underground because of the Myriad Weighty Stone and the heavy gravity, their falling momentum would be terrifying .
In the tremendous thunderclaps, sixteen mountains pounded on the ground like giant iron hammers . Then, sixteen mountains disappeared, sinking deeply into the earth .
Sixteen massive holes appeared strangely as if they kept some stunning secrets .
Shi Yan, Jester, Li Xiao, and the Giants approached the massive hole in the center, waiting for something with weird faces .
A long time afterward .
A group of grand, imposing palaces slowly emerged from that massive pit .
This group of palaces was around ten mu . Each of the palaces was made of Myriad Weighty Stone with carvings of complex and inexplicable patterns and drawings . They seemed to hide some marvelous secrets .
Those palaces were built long, long time ago, and they had been buried underground for an unknown period . Dust and ashes covered everything . The gravity around the palaces was also intimidating .
The group of grand palaces emerged completely from the deep pit . They were now situated above that pit .
Earth and stones around the massive pit moved toward the center and compacted together, supporting the palaces . At this moment, the huge pit had disappeared, turning into a strange foundation for that group of palaces .
The city walls of the palaces were as black as ink, and there were four gateways . The palaces looked like massive cubes, dozens of meters high . Each of the gateways was wide open, revealing four spacious roads leading to the inside of the palaces .
However, these roads were magical . Unlike the other areas, they didn't have the extreme gravity .
The palaces were bizarre indeed . Except for the four roads leading to the inside of the city, the gravitational field elsewhere was present and several hundreds of times heavier than the natural ground . However, standing on any spot on the roads would save people from the terrible gravity .
Na Xin and Shi Yan were perplexed . They dully watched the palaces arising from underground, not knowing what to do .
"I think we can get in there and see . " After a while, all anomalies disappeared . After waiting and seeing nothing else, Shi Yan couldn't help but remind the crowd .
Na Xin nodded continually, his eyes astounded . "We should go in there and check . "
Then, he led them on a road and entered the city .
Shi Yan didn't lag behind . He chuckled, gathering his energy discreetly and walking with Na Xin to the city .
This group of palaces was situated on a ten-mu area . It looked like a royal abode . Inside the city, they could see hundreds of different sized buildings and neatly arranged streets . Each of the buildings here was made of Myriad Weighty Stone with different patterns and drawings in the wall that perfectly combined with the Myriad Weighty Stone, hiding unknown mysteries .
It was strange that the gravity inside the city was normal, which was several hundred times less than on the surface of the Old Orchid Star .
Shi Yan sensed and found that the gravity in this city was very similar to Raging Flame Star Area and Grace Mainland, the normal life stars . It seemed like it wasn't affected by the Old Orchid Star .
Shi Yan was surprised . He released his Soul Consciousness, scanning the entire palaces . Then he shook his head . "No living beings here . "
"Yeah, no living beings, indeed," Na Xin nodded, "but we found so many skeletons . . . "
They saw many peculiar, big skeletons on the streets and inside the houses . They seemed to belong to the pagans, Monster Clan, or Demon Clan, whose physiques were huge . And they also found some small skeletons as small as a human child .
Thousands or even tens of thousands of skeletons were scattered around the city, on the streets, and inside the houses . Their postures varied .
Some skeletons gathered on the street as if they were speaking to each other when they were still alive . Some stood by the shops as if they were bargaining for some goods .
Shi Yan's group also found some sitting skeletons inside the special training yards . They seemed to have been cultivating before they died all of a sudden .
. . .
It seemed like those thousands of skeletons around the corners of the city were doing their business and didn't know what would happen to them in the next minute .
The disaster must have come abruptly . Nobody could have predicted it . All died at their spot . No one survived .
Jester touched a skeleton . When his finger touched the bone, the whole skeleton turned into dust, falling to the ground and scattering .
His face became gloomy, a little bit pale . "It has decayed for so many years, dozens of thousands of years at least . . . Even if they were stronger when they were alive, they can't resist time . After the energy has dispersed all, the skeleton couldn't resist anymore . . . "
Li Xiao and the Giants also tried . They came up with the same results .
Whether it was a huge or lanky skeleton, once they touched it, it turned into bone dust and fall . So weak!
Perhaps some of them used to be formidable . However, since they had died for tens of thousands of years, the energy in their bodies had all vanished . They became feeble, indeed .
"Thousand Fold Lotus!"
Na Xin suddenly shouted, dashing towards an area, his face thrilled .
Thump Thump Thump!
The thudding footsteps of the Giants echoed like drumming . All the Giant soldiers ran after Na Xin, their countenance excited .
Na Xin didn't hesitate much taking Jester and Li Xiao there as well .
In the middle of the city, there was a massive pool .
The pool was pitch black as if the water in there was actually ink . It looked thick and viscous . A faint but pure aroma diffused from this pool .
Jutting from the water of the pool was the Thousand Fold Lotuses . The Thousand Fold Lotus looked like water lilies that were much larger . Each of its petals was like brown glass growing magnificently . Each Thousand Fold had one thousand set of petals . From the seed pod outward, the number of the petals also increased .
The ink-like water in the pool bubbled . Twenty-three Thousand Fold Lotuses grew in every corner of the pool as if someone had arranged them that way with hidden meanings .
After they came, some of them released Soul Consciousness to sense . Immediately, they felt like their brains were shaken hard with buzzing and echoing sounds .
"Be careful! Don't release your Soul Consciousness! If you stir up your Sea of Consciousness, something serious will hit you hard!" Na Xin hissed, preventing people from acting rashly .
His reminder was a little bit too late . . .
Jester and Li Xiao sat down, their eyes empty as their Sea of Consciousness was surging very hard and they couldn't bear it . They were frightened . Apparently, they had used Soul Consciousness to sense the flowers .
Shi Yan sneered and then walked to Jester and Li Xiao . He stretched both hands above their heads .
The strange energy of his soul urged .
An extremely cold air shot out from his fingers which looked like transparent threads, entering Jester's and Li Xiao's heads .
Their chaotic Sea of Consciousness gradually calmed down under the effect of his strange energy .
After a while, Jester and Li Xiao recovered . They paled and grimaced, not daring to act rashly anymore . When they looked at Thousand Fold Lotuses, they seemed scared .
They understood that if Shi Yan didn't help them in time, when their Sea of Consciousness got completely chaotic, it would explode their souls . There was a high possibility that they would become crazy and never get their mentality healed again .
Na Xin glanced at the two of them, frowning . "The Thousand Fold Lotus is really eccentric . Your realm is low and you . . . aren't mysterious like Little Yan . Don't rush . "
Jester and Li Xiao beamed a forced smile, nodding in agreement . They had made up their minds .
Twenty-three Thousand Fold Lotuses scattered in the pool . When the bubbles in the water exploded, they created a black mist covering the entire pool like a black fabric sheet . Faint energy fluctuated from that mist .
Na Xin and the Giants became excited but they didn't dare act recklessly . They wanted to see if this palace had something magical .
This grand and imposing city suddenly emerged in the Old Orchid Star . Inside the city was a pitch-black pool that seemed to be the resource that nurtured the Thousand Fold Lotuses . That pool should have something good .
The more mysterious it was, the more dangerous it could be . As they knew nothing about this place, they had to restrain their excitement .
"Ah?" Shi Yan suddenly lifted his face and studied the walls around . He was astounded, shouting . "The city wall is taking in heaven and earth energy!"
Na Xin was very surprised, closing his eyes to sense . "True . The strange patterns and drawings on the walls are also complicated formations . They can draw earth and heaven energy . "
"This ancient city should have some exquisite Spirit Gathering Formations . It can gather earth and heaven energy . Those formations are even more perfect and marvelous than ones that I can make," Shi Yan complimented .
After several minutes, he found that earth and heaven energy inside the city was much thicker than the energy in Old Orchid Star .
Old Orchid Star was a level 7 life star with dense earth and heaven energy . The Spirit Gathering Formation had guided and thickened earth and heaven energy, pouring it into the ancient city and making it more abundant that it almost broke the limit . Warriors cultivating in this city could harvest a lot to increase their realms .
"Excellent!" Shi Yan grinned continually . "We wanted to build a city and now, it has just come to us . Haha . "
Na Xin was bewildered . "You little boy . You are so lucky . Everything you touch becomes a fortune . "
"This ancient city is big enough for our fellows," Shi Yan rubbed his chin, looking at the architecture of the city and speaking to Na Xin . "Although houses in this city aren't small, it's still uncomfortable to the Giants . I think it's not suitable for you guys to live here, right?"
Buildings in this ancient city weren't low . Living beings around five meters tall could stay here . However, Giant children were already ten meters tall . It would be a burden for them to live in this city . Apparently, the Giants had never lived in this city before because it didn't have any similar buildings suitable for the Giants .
"Oh, then can we have this ancient city?" Shi Yan smiled, asking .
