Please bring your best friends to practice immortality

Chapter 849 Ancestors
Gu Shiyi also thought of this question, and when Pu Yanlan came back, he asked her in a low voice,
"Did those ancient people get mad at the immortals because of the treasure and were sunk into the water?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head slowly.
"I don't know. There are many mysteries in this..."

When he said this, he glanced at Gu Shiyi.
"I asked Jie about the demons in the Abyss Eye. Jie said that it happened a long, long time ago and he didn't know anything about it. But he promised to help me look up the books in the Demon Palace to see if there is any record of it..."

Here he paused again and said,
"He is going to attack the territory of the Great Demon King Huanri recently. Huanri is the most experienced and longest-lived Great Demon King in the Demon Realm. If we can capture his Demon Palace, we should be able to find some clues from it..."

After hearing this, Gu Shiyi looked at her best friend meaningfully.
"Well... Yan'er, listen to my advice, you should just obey your big devil!"

Pu Yanlan was stunned when she heard this and blinked.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Shiyi sighed and said,
"Think about it, when we saw the demons in the Abyss, we were just curious and not in a hurry to eat or wear them. You just mentioned it casually, but they kept it in mind and even fought for the Phantom Sun's territory for you. Such a good man... no, a male demon, whether he is a human or a demon, is hard to find in the world. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. It would be a pity to let others get it for free. Why don't you just obey him!"

Pu Yanlan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.

"Gu Shiyi, what kind of place is this? Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this? Besides, he fought against the Illusion Sun for his own hegemony. What does it have to do with me? He just did it by the way!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"Why is it inappropriate...By the way, it's also for you. Why doesn't he do it for me? It must be because you are special in his heart!"

Then he lowered his voice a little and said,

"I've already told my godson to keep an eye on his father. If anyone in the harem dares to climb into the devil's bed, find a way to get that woman out of the palace and don't let her take your place..."

Pu Yanlan glared at her.
"This kind of thing... you're not telling a child!"

Gu Shiyi chuckled,
"Children...are demon children normal children?"

Whose kid sits on his father’s shoulders and watches a murder, looking so excited that he almost wants to do it himself?

Pu Yanlan couldn't do anything to her and could only glare at her. Just then, Cai Heming gathered the men and counted them to find that there were 23 of them. He turned to Pu Yanlan and said,
"Elder Pu, could you lead us to see the mural?"

Pu Yanlan didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Shiyi, and hurriedly stood up and nodded.
"Of course I am willing to serve..."

After thinking for a while he said,

"Although the demonic energy in the Abyss Eye has been restrained a lot now, if you stay in the water for too long, I'm afraid the demonic energy will enter your body. You all must be prepared!"

Cai Heming nodded.
"That's exactly what I want to say, everyone... Treasure hunting is always dangerous. If you succeed in one out of ten, it's already God's blessing. If you go ahead, you have to accept your fate. When the time comes, when life and death are at stake, people of the same path can save you or not, it all depends on your heart. Afterwards, you can't complain or resent. Do you agree with what I said?"

Everyone nodded, and someone responded,
"Elder Cai, you have done us a great favor by sharing this map with us. As for any dangers that may occur during the treasure hunt, we will bear the risks ourselves. We must not blame others!"

Someone here suggested,
"After we have seen the mural and found the secret place, we can sign a life and death contract. Life and death are your own responsibility and you cannot blame others!"

Everyone nodded,

"That's absolutely true!"

Cai Heming nodded.
"Okay, after we take a look and find the entrance to the secret realm, we will sign a contract!"

Without any further delay, everyone rushed to the abyss. When they reached the eye of the abyss, Pu Yanlan led ten people into the water, while the remaining ten or so people stayed on the water surface and waited.

After the eleven people had been in the water for half an hour, some of them could not hold on any longer and returned to the surface. Someone asked,
"There really is a mural below. Is that really the portrait of that person?"

The person who came back nodded, "Elder Pu is right, there is indeed a mural, and the figure on the mural is exactly the same as the one on the map. Elder Cai has already cleaned up the entire mural and is examining it carefully..."

After that, more than ten people came up, and only Pu Yanlan and Elder Cai were at the bottom. Half an hour later, the two of them surfaced. Cai Heming was very happy.

"Okay, okay... all thanks to Elder Pu... If it weren't for Elder Pu, we don't know how long it would take us to find the clues..."

Then he returned to the boat and preached to the people.

"It seems that these ancient people are really related to the secret realm. There is not only one mural below, but we have found many murals that describe the secret realm..."

It turned out that the mural was located in an ancient temple. The walls of the temple were painted with pictures that told the origin of this ancient nation and the many stories of the people who lived and multiplied here.

"The ancients here believed that this world was an island suspended between heaven and earth. This island is divided into two sides, the upper and lower sides. We are on the lower side of this island. Below us, there is another interface..."

Tsk tsk! This is hard to understand!
Someone asked,
"It's divided into two sides, the upper and lower sides. We are at the bottom, so why aren't we upside down?"

Well this...

Elder Cai explained that
"This world was separated during the Great Desolation. It was originally a huge suspended island, which was pushed out by the splitting power during the Great Desolation. The entire island is protected by the Great Desolation power, so for so many years, this place is full of spiritual energy, and both the common people and the cultivators can live a stable life!"

After a pause, he said again,
"There is a painting that depicts the entire island. Although it is incomplete, we can tell from the incomplete picture that the terrain on the other side of the island is 60% similar to the one on the map... It seems that the place we are looking for is the other side of this world..."

"So...how are we supposed to get to the other side?"

Elder Cai said,

"When this world just emerged from the prehistoric times, it was also very unstable. It often turned upside down and flipped upside down. Then a major event happened, and the water above flowed into the lower side, forming this abyss. Only then did this side face down and no longer flip randomly... The entire interface was considered to be stable..."

Wow! This is amazing!

Gu Shiyi felt that he had seen a lot. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. He and everyone else stared at Pu Yanlan and Cai Heming without blinking. Then he heard Pu Yanlan slowly say,

"According to the picture, these ancient people should have lived here in the prehistoric times. According to the picture, they worshiped giant snakes, and there were also half-human, half-snake creatures. It seems... they are not human..."

"Hmm... According to the picture, the legend of angering the immortals is probably wrong. Looking at the buildings and temples in the abyss, the foundations are intact. Many houses still have furniture and household items. It doesn't look like they sank into the water due to an earthquake. Instead, they were built in the abyss and then flooded by water from bottom to top, submerging the entire city... Could it be that the passages on the upper and lower sides are under the abyss?"

Pu Yanlan frowned, glanced at Gu Shiyi and slowly shook her head.
"That's not the case. I've been to the depths of the Abyss before. It's not a passage to the other side..."

There is a passage, but it leads to the devil's world!
Cai Heming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Pu Yanlan in surprise, thinking to himself,
"With my realm, it was already a bit strenuous for me to go down to the ancient ruins. With her realm, she was able to go down to the bottom of the abyss. It seems that this woman's magical power is either unique or the skills she practiced have a way to restrain the devil's energy..."

Thinking of this, he looked up to Pu Yanlan a little more, and after thinking for a while, he said,

"Even if Elder Pu knows the situation at the bottom of the abyss, then according to Elder Pu, how should we look for clues next?"

Pu Yanlan lowered her eyes and pondered for a while before slowly saying,
"In my opinion, there should be more than one temple in the water. We can split into several groups and search this underwater city carefully. We should be able to gain something..."

For the next ten days or so, these twenty or so people stayed on the abyss, divided into several groups. Those with lesser skills searched in the shallow area, while those with more skills searched in the deep area. When one group could not hold on any longer, they would be replaced by another.

Only Gu Shiyi did not form a group with others, but led Wang Xuying into the water. She alone could match three groups. Once she entered the water, she could dive deep for most of the day, and her search area was wider than anyone else.

This carpet-like search actually allowed them to find quite a few things. They found a large ship and moved all the things they found onto it. They made rubbings of all the murals they found, lined them up in a row, and placed them on the deck of the ship for all the monks to examine and study together. They stood in the front with their hands behind their backs, examining them carefully.

There are a total of twenty murals, which record the legends of the ancient ethnic groups that built this city. Legend has it that the ancestor of these ancient ancestors was a giant snake. The giant snake laid a total of nine eggs, which hatched eight boys and one girl. Among the eight boys, four were humans and four were snakes, and one girl was half human and half snake. They came here from the birthplace of the ancestor snake, multiplied, and gave birth to countless half-human, half-snake offspring. The offspring gave birth to offspring, and as time went by, there were fewer and fewer snake people and more and more people among the offspring. The ancestors were not happy, but very frightened, thinking that the ancestors had abandoned this ethnic group. So they thought that as long as they returned to the embrace of the ancestor snake and felt the glory of the ancestor snake again, they would be able to give birth to snake people again!

"So... they sacrificed the lives of their people, borrowed supreme magic power, and opened a passage to another world... The result..."
