Chapter 1777 - An Eerie Place
“They are indeed four of the Ten Primordial Evils, but they were ranked in the last four. It seems like they were refined into statues and were placed here,” Doom said.
“Refined into statues?”
Qin Nan, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and the others were astounded.
How insane it was to refine four of the Ten Primordial Evils into statues?
That being said, they were only a little surprised, since the statues of the four Primordial Evils were not as shocking as the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple and the drop of demon blood.
“I didn’t ask you to look at the four poor devils, I’m asking you to see if the two human statues are statues of the Primordial People!”
Doom blurted out when he collected his thoughts.
“What? Those two statues are the Primordial People?”
Yuanji and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor were startled. They immediately went up to the two strange-looking human statues and observed them closely.
“What Primordial People?”
Qin Nan asked curiously.
“You don’t know?”
Doom’s eyes flickered with a hint of disdain as he spoke, “According to some rumors, when the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm first appeared, there were only one hundred and eight lives in it. There were humans and beasts, but they were generally referred to as the Primordial People.”
“For some reasons, these Primordial People had all turned into statues scattering across the realm. Each of their statues possesses incredible power and is related to some ancient mysteries.”
He paused briefly and lowered his voice, “Besides, someone even mentioned that if anyone could gather all the statues of the Primordial People, they would have the power to build a new world.”
Even Qin Nan’s heart was filled with shock upon hearing the words.
Building a new world?
Were these statues of the Primordial People really that powerful?
“That being said, no one knows if the statues of the Primordial People do contain the power to build a new world. I personally think it’s fake, but either way, the benefits the person that manages to collect all the statues are still going to be insane!”
Doom’s eyes flickered pa.s.sionately.
To him, none of the drop of demon blood, the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple, and the four statues of the Primordial Evils was as valuable as the statues of the Primordial People.
“Their runes, and their special presence, they are indeed the statues of the Primordial People! Our Ancient Bodhi Temple used to have one too, but we somehow lost it. I didn’t expect to see one again…”
Yuanji exclaimed after some observations.
“He’s right, I was lucky enough to see a statue of the Primordial People too…f**k me!”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor said, but he suddenly yelled in shock when he caught a glimpse of something.
“What’s wrong? Are you trying to scare me?”
Yuanji glared at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor.
“Eight Brilliance, what did you discover?”
Qin Nan and the others asked immediately.
“Take a look, this stone tablet must be the legendary Nameless Grave Tablet! The painting behind it is the Painting of Life and Destruction that was said to have gone missing! And the broken weapon, it’s the Natal Dao Weapon of Crimson Blood Supreme…”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor had received quite a great shock. He was already stammering a little.
“The Nameless Grave Tablet? The one that is built on ten corpses?”
“The Painting of Life and Destruction? Isn’t that the second heirloom artifact that our Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate lost more than a thousand years ago?”
Doom, Yuanji, and Xiu Shenliang were startled.
Qin Nan and Blood-Eye were utterly clueless about what the things were, but they could still tell how precious they were just from hearing the descriptions.
“Why would a place like this have so many precious loots? It’s already difficult to find a single one of the items in this place! What the h.e.l.l is this…”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor murmured to himself. He suddenly paused with wide eyes as he realized something.
Apart from him, Qin Nan, Doom, Yuanji, and the others shared the same reaction too.
A drop of demon blood, the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple, the statues of the Primordial People, the Painting of Life and Destruction, four statues of the Primordial Evils, and a Natal Dao Weapon of a Nine Heavens Supreme.
What exactly was this place?
Why would it have so many valuable artifacts?
Most importantly, every artifact they saw was not related to one another, which meant someone had purposely placed them all here!
Who exactly was capable of pulling such an astounding feat?
The temple fell deadly silent.
Qin Nan and the others gasped when the thought crossed their mind.
Even the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, Yuanji, and Doom who were extremely excited in the first place felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured onto them.
As the saying went, there was no fire without smoke!
The place was clearly beyond unusual.
According to their knowledge and experience, everything here must be related to some terrifying existence. They might even die if they dared to lay their hands on them!
These artifacts were extremely alluring indeed. Any of them could result in great benefits or even alter their fate.
But the problem was, they had to be alive to enjoy those benefits!
“Humph, weren’t you all excited just then? Why are you all being so scared all of a sudden?”
A disdainful and young voice appeared.
“Who’s there?”
Qin Nan and the others s.h.i.+vered. Their bodies tensed. They quickly unleashed their immortal force.
How did they not notice the person after staying in the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple for so long?
“Hey, are you kidding me now? Are you blokes really that timid!?”
The voice sounded even more disdainful.
Qin Nan and the others quickly collected their thoughts. They followed the voice and were stunned after taking a glance.
It was a girl around the age of thirteen with two ponytails. Her skin was white like snow, her facial features were attractive, and she was wearing a white dress with golden stripes. She was like a doll. She stood inside a pond while staring at them disdainfully.
In addition to it, there was a faint symbol of a blue crescent on the girl’s forehead. The symbol an indescribable pure immortal intent.
The immortal intent was almost the same as the immortal intent lingering in the Blessed Immortal Land. However, it was stronger and more obscure than the immortal intent in other places.
“Same immortal intent, a symbol on the forehead…holy c.r.a.p, don’t…don’t tell me you’re the Dao Spirit of this Blessed Immortal Land?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor murmured to himself. He soon cursed as a thought crossed his mind.
“Oh? you’re not as dumb as I thought. You’re right, I’m the Dao Spirit of this Land of Extraordinariness, Ling Lanlan!”
The girl lifted her jaw and wore a proud look.
