Chapter 3974: Emperor's Techniques
he had just shot had vanished without a trace. Only Zhan Chou and Wei Jiu were smiling at her.It seems they already knew this outcome would happen."Very well, I agree," Zi Zhu gritted his teeth. "But...These square shadows are stone slabs.
These stone steles are densely packed, numbering in the thousands. They are spaced evenly apart, roughly ten zhang from each other, perfectly arranged on the ground.
Each stone tablet was identical, ten feet high and three feet wide, with faint traces of something on its surface.
At first glance, Gingercloud thought these stelae might very well be tombstones.
Even, he thought, could this be the Imperial Mausoleum! Underneath those tombstones, buried are the countless Emperors who died in battle! After all, the remnants of the Emperor's War are related to the imperial mausoleums, and this place suddenly appeared within the spatial rift on the third layer of the relic.
However, when he looked again, he realized that he must have been wrong.
Because in front of some stone steles, figures were still standing.
There are a total of thirty-one, including Xing Yi that Jiang Yun has been looking for.
And these people, some sitting and some standing, gazed intently at the stone stele before them with their eyes wide open.
Some have their eyes closed, brows furrowed, as if deep in thought.
For Jiang Yun's arrival, everyone seemed to be oblivious.
This made Ginger Cloud's heart skip a beat. He remembered that before him, the cultivators who had entered the spatial rift, plus Xing Yi, totaled exactly thirty-one people.
At this time, the persistent call echoing in my ears has become increasingly urgent, as if urging me to continue moving forward.
Although urged on by the sound, Ginger Cloud also wished to rush to the stele, but he still forcibly suppressed the impulse within him, not allowing himself to take a step.
Even, I didn't dare to look at what was on those stone tablets.
Because he could see it clearly, the thirty-one cultivators standing before the stele all seemed to be in an abnormal state.
Especially Xing Yi, even if he couldn't have imagined himself following him into the spatial rift, he should at least have been on guard.
But at this moment, he was almost pressing his entire body against the stele before him, completely ignoring everything else.
This eerie sight made Jiang Yun's mind race. "It seems," he thought, "that the voice isn't something only I can hear. It's audible to anyone who enters this spatial rift."
The purpose of the sound is to draw us here and make us look at what's on the stone tablet.
Once you look into it, wouldn't the whole person be immersed in it, or would they be lost in their mind
Just as Ginger Cloud had this thought, he saw that a cultivator ahead suddenly turned his head and glanced at him.
The other party quickly withdrew their gaze, but Jiang Yun clearly saw that although there was a look of confusion on the other person's face, their eyes were clear.
It is clear that the other party was not lost in thought.
Jiang Yun's brow furrowed almost to the point of disappearing, yet he didn't rush to look at what was inscribed on the stone tablet. Instead, he turned his head and looked around.
It's a shame that besides the thousands of stone steles standing tall ahead, there is nothing else around.
Although Ginger Cloud could still suppress the impulses within him, the scene before him truly piqued his curiosity.
Moreover, he was also very clear that unless he could exit this spatial rift now, the voice would incessantly ring in his ears, preventing him from peacefully absorbing the blood mist here and refining his physical body.
Therefore, after a brief moment of contemplation, Ginger Cloud finally raised his head and looked at the nearest stone stele that stood unattended.
It's a pity that despite ginger cloud and the stone tablet being only about ten zhang apart, no matter how ginger cloud strained his eyesight, he couldn't make out what was inscribed on it.
Unable to resist any longer, Jiang Yun could only completely abandon his suppression of the impulse in his heart. Under the urging voice beside him, he took a step and walked towards the stele.
When Jiang Yun finally reached the stone tablet, he could see clearly that it was inscribed with lines that seemed utterly chaotic and without order.
But, the next moment, these lines in Jiang Yun's eyes outlined a series of moving patterns! A majestic figure whose appearance was unclear, with ten fingers hitting out at lightning speed, condensed into a blue electric arc, and struck out with a deafening roar.
Although Gingercloud was well aware that what he saw were merely patterns, the azure lightning bolt felt as if it struck him directly, leaving him utterly powerless to resist. His body and soul were consumed by the lightning, vanishing into nothingness.
After this feeling disappeared, Jiang Yun's body trembled, and the majestic figure in the painting in his eyes continued to start again, re-casting those seals, condensing into a bolt of lightning once more.
Thus, it continues to repeat, over and over again.
Jiang Yun suddenly took a step back, everything in his eyes vanished, and before him still stood the stone tablet. On it were carved irregular lines.
A look of astonishment appeared on Jiang Yun's face, and a clear thought popped into his mind: "This is the Emperor's technique!"
As this thought arose, Ginger Cloud abruptly turned her head, wanting to see if the other stone tablets also recorded some kind of great emperor's techniques! But another strange thing happened.
Besides the stone tablet right before him, he couldn't see any other carvings on the tablets.
However, Ginger Cloud no longer needed to look. She already had a general understanding in her heart.
Each stone tablet here should be inscribed with some kind of magical spell or divine ability, or perhaps a method of cultivation.
But only when you get close to a certain stone tablet can you see the inscription on it.
Those cultivators were not simply lost in their minds, but rather immersed in the spells and supernatural powers recorded on the steles before them.
"No wonder these monks haven't left since they entered here!"
At this moment, Jiang Yun also noticed that the constant sound in his ear, which had never stopped, had vanished at some point.
"This voice is to attract cultivators here."
"But, what is the purpose of the sound"
"Could it be that a certain emperor was unwilling to die and thus carved his martial arts onto this stone tablet, passing it down to the cultivators who entered here"
Although this guess is somewhat unbelievable, Gingercloud felt that it was still possible.
If you were in that situation, right before death, you wouldn't want all your knowledge to be lost.
"However, even though the Emperor's lineage is excellent, I still need to kill Xing Yi first!"
After figuring out the secrets of these steles, Jiang Yun's gaze fell on Xing Yi who was not far away.
Xing Yi seemed to still not have noticed Jiang Yun's arrival, and was still staring intently at the stone tablet before him.
Now is a perfect opportunity to kill him.
Thinking of this, Ginger Cloud raised her leg and walked towards Xing Yi.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, Jiang Yun's expression suddenly changed.
Because he had only taken a few steps, a powerful pressure descended from the sky and struck him hard.
"Boom!"
In the midst of a deafening roar, Jiang Yun's figure was staggered back, returning to the front of the stone tablet.
At that moment, Xing Yi, along with more than ten cultivators, were startled by the loud noise and all turned their heads to look at Jiang Yun.
The other cultivators merely glanced at Jiang Yun and then ignored him.
Only Xing Yi's face showed a mocking smile, and she even reached out to slash her own neck.
Up to this point, Jiang Yun finally understood. It wasn't that Xing Yi hadn't discovered him, but rather, once he stepped into the range of the stele, he would be unable to leave! Perhaps, people outside the stele should also be unable to enter! Therefore, Xing Yi could act so arrogantly and not care about his pursuit at all.
Jiang Yun ignored Xing Yi's sarcasm and turned his gaze back to the stone tablet in front of him.
"Could it be that the only way to leave the range of this stone tablet is to learn the techniques recorded on it"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another earth-shattering roar came from all directions.
All the stelae, including the ground beneath everyone's feet, trembled violently.ack then, I bear some responsibility for this matter. I apologize to you!"As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Chunyang actually bowed to Ye Younan.Ye Younan wouldn't dare accept the chief's apolog...
