Under the escort of the twelve White Horse Cavalry, Lady Wei very easily entered the central regions first. She was the first to reach an ancient sacrificial altar. In the surroundings were four columns carved with some depictions of primordial gods and demons in battle. The totems had dragons, phoenixes, qilin, and other beasts.
The altar was desolate, brimming with an indescribably ancient, completely grave air.
Lady Wei studied the altar carefully for ages, as if she was quietly savoring its primeval air. The twelve White Horse Cavalry stood guard below the platform. Carrying lances, sitting on their white steeds and cloaked in white robes, they were considerably impressive.
Beside her were two women dressed like martial generals. One wore a short skirt and white armor, the other wore black clothes and a hood.
The eyes of the woman in short skirt and white armor were biting cold. She gave off a domineering air and carried a silver serpent spear. The spear was suffused with a blood-light, like it was sucking blood. The other woman was clothed completely in black with a hood, as if a gloomy cloud surrounded her body. Even her shadow was hardly visible.
These “Gods And Demons Spectral Clothes” were a very rare Astral Treasure. Not only was it able to release a shadow to completely conceal the wearer, it would also emit demonic fear. Furthermore, it was able to perfectly hide the wearer in shadow, making detection very difficult. But after wearing the Gods And Demons Spectral Clothes, the Star General herself would suffer the recoil of Devil Qi. All of her power and martial arts would be degraded, and the Star General would be extremely indisposed. Generally, top-notch Star Generals would not wear this.
The white armored general looked at this shadowy counterpart of hers and had some trepidation towards her. However, she knew that this “Bore”1 was specially invited from the Hunting Day Pavilion by Lady Wei. She was a ruthless character ranked in the top ten of the Hunting Day List.
For the sake of the Connecting Valley’s treasure storehouse this time around, the Cangwu Star Field’s Thousand Gold Pavilion had not only borrowed the White Horse Cavalry from the White Horse Marquis, Lady Wei even spent ten Middle Grade Astral Crystals to purchase her services. She must succeed this time.
The reliefs of one of the four enormous columns surrounding the altar emitted a red light beam that shot into the platform. Immediately afterwards, a second pillar also glowed.
“As expected, Li Si used the Four Origin Pearls to represent prehistoric wind, thunder, water, and fire. Once this Four Elemental Pearls Array is dispelled, the Connecting Valley’s ancient array eye will appear.” With everything in her grasp, Lady Wei revealed a faint smile. She had not meticulously studied this Connecting Valley’s secret in vain. If she was able to obtain Li Si’s personal work this time, then she would have the chance to enter the Central Star Field’s Thousand Gold Pavilion, to be put on the Star Duels List. Her name of Lady Wei could even be pivotal.
Wherever the array eye was, that naturally would be the place that the Five Emperors Seal that Li Si personally crafted was.
Legend said that Li Si, in order to forge the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, produced the Great Seal (historically, the standardized script was the lesser seal). This calligraphy was like a flying bird, connecting to Maiden Mountain. In the end, she casted the first Astral Treasure under Heaven. If Lady Wei could personally comprehend something from that Great Seal, that would be enormously beneficial to herself.
Hearing Lady Wei’s words, the female general somewhat nervously eyed Bore.
“Qi Jie, no need to worry. The Hunting Day warriors of the Hunting Day Pavilion will not commit treachery.” Lady Wei faintly smiled.
Bore was motionless.
After a moment, the four columns above the altar simultaneously glowed. The stone slab at the center of the altar suddenly retracted into the ground with a rumble, revealing the entrance to an endless staircase that lead to infinite darkness.
Connecting Valley’s Primeval Chaos air instantly flared and was sucked in towards the darkness.
The surroundings filled with the cries of ghosts and gods, and a chilling, foehn wind suddenly gusted.
Lady Wei did not anticipate that the breaking of the Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire array would display such a strange scene. However, she already expected there would be some sort of phenomenon, so that was why she specially auctioned off the four Origin Pearls, to borrow the hands of others while she snatched the treasure.
Seeing the entrance open, Lady Wei could hardly conceal the joy in her heart.
She knew that inside this was the place that contained Li Si’s genuine works.
“Let us go quickly. It seems Connecting Valley’s Primeval Chaos Array will not last much longer.” Finishing this, Lady Wei dashed in. Qi Jie and the White Horse Cavalry followed in succession.
Chen Mo and Huang Tingjian flew towards the central region. After they entered central region, the prehistoric qi of the interior became even more concentrated. Primeval Chaos Demonic Beasts like the “Extreme Desolation” Giant Spiders and Demon-eyed Toads all appeared. So as to not waste time, the pair also detoured several times.
“Do you want to replenish Star Energy right now?” Huang Tingjian asked. “Soon, there will definitely be a fierce battle. You cheated Elder Under The Pine of his Astral Crystals and killed him. He ought to also have some leftovers. If you only use the Astral Stone to rejuvenate, I fear you will be in danger when the time comes.”
Drizzle Sojourner did not want Chen Mo to become a burden.
“My thoughts exactly.” Chen Mo thought he may as well restore his Star Energy right now. He took out two Astral Crystals and swallowed them.
Astral Stones and Astral Crystals were different. The Star Energy of Astral Stones could only temporarily provide emergency assistance. It would naturally disappear after a moment. Astral Crystals were pure Star Energy. Once ingested, they could convert into Star Energy within the body. Star Energy collected externally from it would disappear in the end, but compared to an Astral Stone, it would take a slightly longer time, enough to last a night.
After Chen Mo swallowed the Astral Crystals, he used the Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi to quickly process them.
Just at this moment, all of a sudden, the Primeval Chaos True Qi of Connecting Valley rolled like a tidal wave. The Connecting Heaven qi was like a tornado howling towards a certain place. Given the intense Primeval Chaos True Qi, Chen Mo and Huang Tingjian could only use Star Energy to shield themselves so as to avoid being devoured by the True Qi.
“This is?”
The two of them glanced at each other and immediately sped over.
Not a moment later, they finally arrived at the centermost place in the Connecting Valley, an altar that was as tall as a pyramid. Four beams of light shone on the altar, and an entrance appeared. That entrance was like the maw of a monster, sucking in all of the Primeval Chaos True Qi.
Four stone columns, four beams of light, wind, thunder, fire, and water.
“It’s Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire!” Chen Mo was astonished.
“This really was the case. If Li Si wanted to refine primordial chaos, she would need winder, thunder, water, and fire. This means that the Fire Origin Pearl we just obtained is one of the treasures protecting an array.” Huang Tingjian said seriously.
“The other three should also have broken.” Chen Mo had hardly finished speaking.
Crash.
A war chariot charged out of the Primeval Chaos storm and arrived before the sacrificial altar.
Immediately afterwards.
Lü Meng, Lü Yu and two mysterious women all also arrived at the same time.
The four parties all looked at each other, each taken aback to see the other.
“Eh, it’s you? That Chen Mo.” The woman concealing her sunrise beauty spoke with a graceful voice, making the other Star Generals jolt.
However, Chen Mo’s appearance very quickly attracted the attention of the other women.
“Elder Under The Pine is not here…Can it be that you killed him?” Lü Meng asked in amazement.
“Your Servant encountered him. He wanted to kill Your Servant, and I was saved by my friend.” Chen Mo did not want admit to this at all. At this time, hiding his strength was the best choice.
Of course, the others fundamentally did not believe that Chen Mo’s cultivation was able to kill a Lord Of Heaven. Lü Meng herself could not possibly have certainty even if she used her Heaven Rank.
Hearing Chen Mo’s words, they turned to look at Huang Ting Jian.
The yellow-clothed woman faintly smiled and affably said: “Your Servant is Mi Fu, Jiang Kui’s friend. I heard rumor this time that there would be Li Si’s personal work, and I merely came to look. I will not disturb everyone’s interests.”2
“Hmph.” Lü Yu sneered. As a Lord Of Heaven himself, to see the similarly ranked Elder Under The Pine killed, he felt some sympathy in his heart.
The Wang Clan of Langya’s people were relieved.
“No matter who, if there truly is some personal writings, those who seek it must use their own strength.” Wang Xianzhi elegantly smiled.
“But just what is this situation?” Wang Yuanji asked skeptically.
Connecting Valley’s Primeval Chaos True Qi was being absorbed into the mysterious altar-entrance. This was something unheard of in the last few centuries.
“Looks like everyone has obtained Winder, Thunder, Water, and Fire Origin Pearls.” Lü Meng muttered: “It seems we broke the Connecting Valley’s Primeval Chaos Array. This place should have something similar for the array eye.”
“Meaning there is possibility of the Five Emperors Seal and the Great Seal.” Wang Dun’s eyes lit up.
“Idiots.” The mysterious woman jeered, flying with her little sister towards the hole, no longer willing to delay another second.
Wang Dun was taken aback.
“Oh, no. The Thousand Gold Pavilion auctioned the four certificates most definitely to use us. Lady Wei must have already gone in. We must hurry.” Wang Xianzhi was startled. The Langya War Chariot landed on the platform, but the entrance was barely wide enough for one person to pass through. They could only stow the war chariot and each file in.
“If only we could get along in peace.” Lü Meng profoundly glanced at Chen MO, seemingly smiling.
Immediately afterwards, she also entered the cave entrance.
Huang Tingjian followed closely behind. Chen Mo was just about to enter when he suddenly looked at a shadow near the altar. He activated the Deva Eyes and furrowed his brow.
“Chen Mo, you scared?” Huang Tingjian impatiently said.
Chen Mo shook his head and also walked into the shadowy staircase.
Soon afterwards, a dark shadow suddenly solidified into a fair and graceful silhouette. This shadow was covered in darkness. Just now, none of the Wang Clan nor the Lü Clan’s people had detected her at all. The woman completely enveloped in pitch darkness stared at Chen Mo’s disappearing figure. The shadow froze, then, after confirming no other Star Generals were entering, she then strode in.
Not long after everyone entered, a few cultivators were also alarmed by this phenomenon. Some people mustered the courage to come to the central regions, and seeing the large hole, they also did not hesitate to enter.
