Chapter 963: All Heavens (Part 2)
Xu Changqing, who was quietly planning various responses in his heart, patiently waited for the opportunity to leave here. This opportunity did not make him wait too long. Soon, a noble priest from the Liumin Naga walked down from the passage. Seeing that the Liumin Naga royal family and his subordinates were practicing, they did not disturb him. They put some food on the ground and turned around quietly.
Xu Changqing took this opportunity to move to the shadow of the noble priests and silently left the square with these noble priests.
Perhaps because the formation power in the square was activated, when Xu Changqing was transferring, a trace of weak and almost imperceptible magic power leaked out aroused the reaction of the formation power in the square. The six-eyed Naga royal family became very sensitive to the changes in the formation power because they released the blood force in their bodies and mixed it with the surrounding formation power. They seemed to notice something, and looked at the shadow that Xu Changqing had just been. However, it only felt a little abnormal, and did not think that there was an alien lurking near them before, so they just looked at it and did not feel any more suspicious.
The ground part of the Vedic temple had long been explored by Hermes. Although Xu Changqing had not walked through it, with the help of the map given by Hermes, after passing through a series of maze-like roads, he quickly found the entrance to the shortcut.
This entrance is located at the bottom of a hidden area of the temple. If you want to enter this hidden area, you need to pass a river of protection with lava flowing. These lava is not formed naturally, but a kind of divine array gathers the surrounding spiritual energy into flames, melts a large amount of sand and gravel, and forms a lava river of protection. From this lava river and the murals and words carved in various places in this hidden area, it can be seen that the Brahmin gods built this place to cultivate the special fire rock beast of the Brahmin gods, such as the Sharoman snake.
However, as Shiva betrayed the Holy Ruins, he also brought the Sharoman Snake here to the War Demon Cliff and raised it in the Nine Man Forbidden Land, and this place was completely abandoned. Although it was abandoned, the divine formation at the level of the Guardian River did not stop operating, and it still maintained its effect, allowing the lava in the Guardian River to remain flowing. The Six-Mind Naga clan had a natural disgust and fear of fire, so even if it occupied the entire temple, they did not intend to get involved in this area.
After being abandoned for many years, this area was accidentally discovered by a divine beast hunter from a demigod city. The divine beast hunter sneaked into the temple and was discovered by the nobles of the Six-Minute Naga. So he fled around in the labyrinth passage of the temple. In a panic, he entered this area and blocked the pursuers behind through this lava river. Although he didn't know how the divine beast hunter escaped from the temple later, it is certain that this divine beast hunter discovered a lot of good things from this area. With these good things, he finally ignited the divine fire and became a few of the gods who became gods after the establishment of the demigod city.
Later, as more people knew about this area, many divine beast hunters who were able to enter the Vedic temple would enter this place. They would look for treasures left by the Brahmin gods back then. As the good things that could be found here gradually decreased, and the Liumin Naga clan knew about the existence of this place, setting up some ambushes and traps around, which made a gap between danger and harvest. In the end, only a few divine beast hunters with great skills would go there from time to time. Except for the exercise of their abilities, the other divine beast hunters rarely approached here.
This situation began to change after a certain divine beast hunter discovered the shortcut to the underground patron sacred formation. Because the first group of people who entered the underground patron sacred formation made a lot of profits, several of them became the divine beast hunters who were now stationed in the pyramid temple in the demigod city because of the discovery in the patron sacred formation. Under the temptation of the heavy profit, many divine beast hunters who were only one step away from igniting the divine fire tried to enter the underground temple to find opportunities. During that period, many demigods died on the way to the underground temple, and their impact on the demigod city has not been eliminated until today.
When Xu Changqing entered this area, he had found many traces left by people after he had not crossed the lava river protection. Because this area is already a semi-public place, and the Liumin Naga tribe cannot cross the river, even if there are a lot of traces, the hunters of the divine beasts feel that there is no need to hide it.
The lava river protection in front of Xu Changqing is no different from ordinary rivers. Under the promotion of the divine array, it constantly flows around the edge of the entire area, and the flow rate is very fast. There are many trap undercurrents formed by the divine array in the lava. If ordinary demigods fall into it, it is difficult to survive. As for the gods who accidentally deal with it, there is also a fatal danger.
The shortcut Xu Changqing was going to was different from the divine beast hunter. It was not in the area above, but at the bottom of the lava river protection. He came to the edge of the river protection, jumped directly into the lava, and sank with the undercurrent of the lava itself, and soon fell to the bottom of the lava.
Whether it is the heat of the lava or the formation formed by the bottom divine array, it has extremely powerful destructive power. Even if the two are combined together, their lethality is increased exponentially. It no longer poses a threat to ordinary gods who ignite divine fire, but even the true gods need to be careful to deal with it.
Xu Changqing carefully avoided the surrounding divine force at the bottom of the lava and moved forward along the movement of the formation. This was not because he was afraid of the power of the lava river protection, but because if he fell into the formation, it would inevitably stimulate the entire surrounding formation, thereby alarming some six-eyed Nagas hidden near the side, causing unnecessary trouble.
Xu Changqing did not stay at the bottom of the lava for too long, so he found a honeycomb-shaped wall where the shortcut entrance was located. This entrance was for the hatched Sharoman snake to enter and exit, and could directly pass through the deeper part of this area. Although the hatching fossil chamber above can also enter the bottom layer, there is a need to pass through some trap divine arrays that have been opened by the Brahmin gods and closed stone doors in the middle, which is much more troublesome than entering from the lava entrance.
However, the many honeycomb-shaped entrances on this wall did not all lead to the same place. When Hermes discovered this, it took some time to find the correct entrance.
Xu Changqing stabilized his body in the lava, and his spiritual thoughts swept through the wall in front of him, and soon found the right entrance. He then guided a hot stream to push himself towards the entrance, and drilled in very smoothly.
Although the entrance is narrow, the inside of the passage is very wide, and the three of them will not feel crowded even if they swim side by side. Perhaps it is because of the pressure from the lava river protection that the lava flow rate in the passage becomes much faster, and it will hit the wall if you are not careful. Because there is no divine array arranged in the passage, Xu Changqing can use the magic power of his clone at will without any worry about causing any unnecessary trouble. Under the influence of mana, he is as flexible as a swimming fish in the water, swiming down the passage quickly. After passing an upward curve, he comes to a not-so-large lava pool.
Although he had already arrived at the place, Xu Changqing did not immediately rush out of the lava, but instead let go of his divine thoughts and observe what was going on in the stone chamber above the lava. The reason why he was so careful was not only because of his cautious nature, but more because he saw a destructive artifact, a real divine artifact in the passage. The style of the artifact has a very strong style of the Olympus gods, and from the details of the artifact, it should be a divine artifact made by the gods specifically for the lava river protection, which is to prevent the burning of the lava.
However, it seems that the god obviously underestimated the power of the divine array at the bottom of the lava, causing the artifact to be destroyed halfway through the way. What's more important is that the divine power is still left on this artifact, which should have been damaged for not long. If there is no accident, the unknown god may be still in the stone chamber above the lava pool, or in the guardian sage array.
"Has anyone discovered this place?" After not finding a god in the stone chamber above, Xu Changqing jumped out of the lava pool, looked around, and frowned.
I saw that this was not a big stone chamber. There were many pillars in the stone chamber. Some divine texts were carved on them, which should be used to provide coiling and resting for Sharoman Snake. Originally, these stone pillars should be intact, but now all the stone pillars have been destroyed. Looking at the traces, the destruction time has not long passed. A piece of gravel and the cracks and holes on the surrounding stone walls undoubtedly indicate that a god started a fierce battle here not long ago, and there were more than two remaining gods. Judging from the remaining blood of the gods on the ground, at least five gods participated in the battle, and these five gods all came from different gods.
These gods may have been attracted by Brahmin artifacts, or because of Hermes' treasures, or for the Six-Minute Naga in the temple. Xu Changqing could not make a correct guess. Although it was impossible to determine the purpose of these gods coming here, Xu Changqing could be sure that these gods were not the same person, and the time to reach this stone chamber was also front and back. It felt like the relationship between the stalker and the stalker. When the stalker saw the stalker being injured or had an accident, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it and attacked. Then the other stalkers were passively involved in the fight. The fight happened very suddenly and ended suddenly. Judging from the various traces, it felt like something suddenly attracted the attention of all the gods, causing them to temporarily give up their hostility and follow the crack leading to the guardian stalker formation on the stone chamber and enter the guardian stalker formation.
This group of gods that suddenly appeared were a group of unplanned uneasiness factors for Xu Changqing, and this accident made him very disgusted. He did not want some gods to disrupt the trouble when he entered the guardian god formation to deal with the scourge of Zhutian Zongzheng Tathagata and the banned disaster. For this reason, Xu Changqing decided to solve these gods first and then consider other things. (To be continued...)
