Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 567 Taixuan
Yuan Qi frowned and exclaimed, "My demonic sense didn't even detect this thing?"

Not only did he not notice it, even Chen Mu felt nothing, as if the stone statue was not real...

Chen Mu frowned slightly and walked closer with the crowd.

The stone statue had a bear's head and a human body, with a solemn aura and a strange posture, as if it was stretching its hands out to support the sky.

"There's more behind this!"

Hua Meimei shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Not far behind the tiger-headed stone statue, there was a nine-headed golden lion statue, roaring towards the sky with an aura that shook the heavens.

Yuan Qi's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly walked closer. After taking a closer look, he suddenly became excited and murmured, "This... This is the heritage of my clan!"

Before everyone could envy her, Hua Meimei shouted again: "There's more, there's more behind this..."

Everyone's eyes flickered as they hurried over, leaving only Xiong Mokun and Yuan Qi standing before the stone statue of their tribe, their minds immersed in it...

Leopard, Zhu Yan, Jade-eyed Demon Deer, Green Carp...

The true forms of the stone statues of the major demon tribes appeared one by one, all with strange postures and overwhelming aura. Standing in this dim temple, they looked weird and mysterious.

It's unknown if it was a coincidence or if the Demon Emperor Pavilion had its own spirituality, but Mo Yuan and Jin Bei Shan, who were not present, didn't see any stone statues appear...

Chen Mu frowned, pulled Hua Meimei beside him and asked, "Did the Five Elements Demon King tell me about this incident at the Demon Emperor Pavilion?"

Hua Meimei was also extremely excited and kowtowed several times to the stone leopard statue.

After thinking for a moment, he looked back and said, "No, if there had been such a situation before, why would they act like this?"

After saying that, he pointed at Hu Meir and the others, only to see that they were all immersed in it at this moment.

Chen Mu nodded slowly, and after looking at the rather embarrassed Tan Tai Ming, thoughts began to well up in his mind.

The postures of these seven stone statues are clear at a glance, but upon closer inspection, one feels a sense of mystery. Just one posture can produce so many changes for no reason.

It was as if his soul was being drawn by these seven stone statues to comprehend many secrets. He couldn't help but want to sit down cross-legged and comprehend these secrets carefully until he fully understood the changes.

"Could it be that this is a spontaneous change of the Demon Emperor Pavilion?"

Chen Mu thought to himself and felt that there was no other explanation besides this.

But even so, he still felt something was wrong in his heart, but when asked why he felt this way, he couldn't explain it.

Looking at the crowd who were beginning to sink into their minds and comprehend the secrets within the stone statue, Chen Mu shook his head and could only wait for a while...

……

In the far west, in a deep valley.

The surroundings were dark, with only the road stretching forward. On both sides were endless abysses with no bottom in sight.

Ao Chun walked in front, and the black scales in his hand flashed from time to time, which made her very happy.

"If my intuition is correct, the object I'm looking for should be not far ahead!"

After hearing this, Ao Kong looked excited and said with a smile: "This trip was really smooth. It didn't take much effort to get here."

Ao Chun smiled, but when he saw the Jin brothers, especially Jin Yuantong, who had arrived later, his expression darkened and he warned, "Tenth brother, don't be careless. Now that we've lost a formation plate, it's like we're missing a person's strength. You need to be extra careful."

Ao Kong snorted coldly when he heard this: "Not enough to accomplish anything, but more likely to cause trouble..."

Jin Yuantong's face flushed red. He wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how. In the end, he could only mutter, "Chen Mu is very cunning. He suddenly attacked me. I had no other choice..." "Humph!" Ao Kong disagreed and shouted coldly, "You are just a solitary cultivator. You are the son of the Demon King!"

"All right!"

Seeing that Ao Kong looked down upon Jin Yuantong more and more, Ao Chun felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

Ao Kong was obedient and turned his head away without saying anything.

Although Jin Tianzong didn't say anything, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The four of them walked along the road for a full half hour without stopping. Finally, they felt that the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they stepped onto a high platform on the cliff.

The platform is extremely wide, with nothing above it except for a circular mural embedded in the stone wall, on which is a carving of a dragon with its body coiled around its neck.

Ao Chun stared at the mural without blinking, then nodded and said, "This must be the place where the old dragon Taixuan died."

Jin Tianzong's heart moved when he heard this, as he had also heard of the name Taixuan.

Three thousand years ago, Mo Yuan became friends with the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and was gifted with the scales of the Ancestral Dragon. At that time, Mo Yuan's ancestor was the Taixuan Demon King, and he used this to achieve the body of a true dragon and break through to the realm of incarnation.

At that time, Mo Yuan was in the limelight, overpowering Jiusheng Mountain and Juding Mountain, and was on the verge of unifying southern Xinjiang.

However, only a few hundred years later, Taixuan encountered a powerful enemy while traveling in the Central Earth Shenzhou and was seriously injured. After returning to the southern border, he did not recover for a long time. For this reason, he had the idea of ​​entering the Demon Court, hoping to use the opportunity of the Demon Court to recover from his injuries and search for the legendary Demon Cauldron.

However, the Demon Court had already fallen into the void space. Even if he had the body of a real dragon or was a spiritual cultivator, he could not enter it easily.

To this end, he took great pains to invite the former Dragon King of the East Sea to protect him.

Everything went smoothly at first. Taixuan successfully entered the Demon Court and could send out messages from time to time to indicate his situation.

But just when all the tribes in southern Xinjiang believed that the demon cauldron was going to be taken away by Taixuan, Mo Yuan lost all news of his ancestor.

No matter how hard Mo Yuan ordered his men to search the Demon Court, they could not find any trace of Taixuan Patriarch, as if he had never entered the Demon Court.

As time went by, various speculations arose. Some said that it was the ancestor Taixuan who got a great opportunity from the Demon Court, broke through the tribulation in one fell swoop, broke through the boundary and ascended.

Some people also said that Taixuan never entered the Demon Court at all, but was lost in nothingness, and the messages sent back were the result of his fantasies after being lost in nothingness.

There were also rumors that Taixuan's injuries were too severe to heal, and he had passed away in a hidden place in the Demon Court. Mo Yuan pretended he couldn't find him because he wanted to make the other demon tribes afraid to challenge him...

There was no certainty in all the rumors, and whether Taixuan was alive or dead gradually became a mystery. As for the truth, perhaps only Mo Yuan himself knew.

It was not until the battle in the Demon Court that Ao Chun came holding the reverse scales that Taixuan had shed when he became a true dragon, and announced that Taixuan had already died.

Jin Tianzong's eyes flickered as he stared at Ao Chun's back, wondering what he was thinking...

The four of them watched for a moment, and Ao Kong asked doubtfully, "Seventh Sister, I see there's only this one painted wall here, it doesn't look like the place where someone died?"

Without even turning back, Ao Chun took out the reverse scale and compared it carefully. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled, "My reverse scale has led us here. How could it be wrong? Tenth brother is too impatient."

She raised her reverse scale and pressed it against a certain scale on the dragon carving.

The next moment, the painted wall glowed faintly, clouds and mist appeared, and the carvings inside seemed to have come alive. The water was gurgling and flowing, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool light.

The dragon carving is even more radiant, with its beard raised, eyes glaring, fangs bared and claws dancing, and wave patterns surrounding its body, as if it is stirring up trouble!
"Click..."

With a slight sound, the painted wall slowly parted, revealing a passage leading downwards...
