Chapter 814 Altar
"d.a.m.n it! What kind of d.a.m.n place is this?"
At this moment, in an underground abyss, Ye Qiu was exploring the dark tunnel.
Unlike the clamor of the outside world, this place was pitch-black and peaceful. It was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was very obvious. Clear water dripped onto the stone wall, making a clear dripping sound.
In this strange atmosphere, Ye Qiu seemed to see a light guiding him in the depths of the darkness. After pa.s.sing through the time tunnel, he arrived at a forbidden cave abode. Thick chains were placed in front of him, making one feel uneasy and inexplicably depressed.
"Where is this?" Ye Qiu was puzzled. The scene in front of him felt familiar, as if he had seen it there.
He silently fell into his memories and looked at the huge altar in the center of the cave abode. There seemed to have been an incomparably terrifying thing locked there.
Ye Qiu slowly walked over and arrived at the center of the altar. He saw a precious bone placed in the altar.
"True Phoenix Treasure Bone?"
The moment he saw the precious bone, Ye Qiu instantly became excited, but he quickly calmed down. This was because the surroundings of this precious bone were locked by thick chains. This was more like some kind of order law with some kind of taboo.
"Chain… Taboo… Wait, I seem to remember. This seems to be the forbidden law that suppressed Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu under the underwater immortal palace."
Suddenly, Ye Qiu woke up and thought of Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu under the underwater immortal palace. The chains on his body were identical to the chains in front of him.
For a moment, Ye Qiu became incomparably cautious, his eyes filled with fear. One had to know that even a terrifying existence like Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu could not break free from the shackles of this chain. If he fell into it, he would really be finished.
Ye Qiu fell into deep thought as he seriously observed every move in the cave abode.
The precious bone was right in front of him, but Ye Qiu wasn"t blinded by benefits. He still maintained an incomparably calm posture.
What was certain was that the precious bone in front of him was the True Phoenix Bone. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the place where the True Phoenix died.
Ye Qiu was really curious. What happened at the beginning of the Immortal Ancient? Why did these former overlords of the world die in such a miserable manner and be buried in this rolling long river of history?
What terrifying existence was controlling all of this in the darkness? Was it a watcher of the void or a demon from the outer realm?
Perhaps the true answer would only be unlocked when Ye Qiu stepped onto the void exploration path that led to the uninhabited domain of the outer realm. Currently, with Ye Qiu"s strength, he was temporarily unable to pry into the profundities. To be precise, he couldn"t withstand that kind of karma.
Longevity Calamity! The great secret that Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu had said.
What kind of secret was hidden?
Ye Qiu didn"t know all of this, but from the information he knew, Ye Qiu could determine one thing.
All of this could not be done without one person, the highland expert who had fallen in that mysterious highland when the world was in chaos. The moment his huge body fell was the beginning of the Immortal Ancient Era.
The derivation of everything in the world came from his death.
"Hmm… The True Phoenix Treasure Bone is so close, but this close distance is so far away."
Ye Qiu hesitated as he looked at the precious bone in the center of the altar. He didn"t know what the consequences would be if he stepped onto the altar. He was hesitating whether to take the risk. Because the altar had existed for too long, perhaps the array that existed in the surroundings had long lost its effect.
Of course, this was only Ye Qiu"s guess. Before it was confirmed, he still didn"t dare to try. If it didn"t fail, he would be the one trapped by the chains. Ye Qiu had already experienced the torture of the Immortal Sealing Cauldron once. That pain was still fresh in his mind.
Ye Qiu didn"t want to experience it again.
However, if he didn"t take the risk, it would mean that his trip was in vain. The so-called True Phoenix Treasure Bone would have nothing to do with him.
The opportunity was right in front of you. It depended on how you chose.
"Hmm… From its grade, the True Phoenix Treasure Bone should be a fragment. However, the supreme Dao intent contained in it is already an extremely rare existence."
In comparison, Ye Qiu didn"t need this precious bone because his Dao had already been perfected.
The person who really needed this precious bone was Ming Yue. Her incomplete Dao had yet to be completed because she had two main bodies.
Therefore, this precious bone was extremely important to her. This concerned whether she could successfully fuse and be reborn.
Ye Qiu pondered if it was worth the risk.
If it was just for Ming Yue, it might not be worth taking this risk. This was because even without the True Phoenix Treasured Bone, with Ming Yue"s ability, she could still find other ways to seek rebirth.
However, to Ye Qiu, if he could obtain this precious bone and give it to Ming Yue, the meaning would be different.
One had to know that this was the remains of a Nine Heavens Supreme, a true phoenix. There was no need to mention how rare it was. If it was a ten-thousand-fold critical strike…
Oh my G.o.d!
He didn"t dare to think about it. How terrifying was that existence? Turning a bicycle into a Porsche! This was not a simple change.
Therefore, there was a need to take this risk. It depended on Ye Qiu.
After making up his mind, Ye Qiu began to try to enter the array to see what magical domain was hidden inside. He took out the Overlord Halberd first and probed a little. Ye Qiu inserted it in the altar to see if it would cause any changes.
Once there was a change, Ye Qiu would immediately enter the void wormhole and shuttled away. As the Overlord Halberd was inserted, there was a loud bang. Suddenly, the array emitted a ball of red light.
"Not good!"
The moment he saw the change, Ye Qiu immediately tore open the void wormhole and wanted to escape. However, after waiting for a few seconds, the array only changed and no defense appeared.
"Hmm?" After hesitating for a while, Ye Qiu stopped. The array didn"t attack, which meant that the current situation was still safe.
After carefully studying the array runes in front of him, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought. After the True Phoenix died, this array seemed to have lost its effect. It actually did not take the initiative to attack the invaders.
"Phew… Why didn"t I think of that?" Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something and instantly became excited. "Hehe… I have a divine shadow!"
Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that he had another ultimate technique, the Divine Shadow Subst.i.tute! This was a supreme divine power that he had developed when he was in the lower realm and used his shadow as a clone.
The Driving Shadow!
Later on, after imparting it to Linglong, it sublimated again and became a divine shadow.
The clone that had evolved possessed all his strength. Wouldn"t it be safer to use the divine shadow to enter the altar and take away the precious bone?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu instantly became excited. Clearly, this was the clearest choice.
Once there was really danger, his main body could leave at any time. As for his clone, he did not care if it was dead or alive.
