Chapter 259: The key Was Found
The next day, other than the few experts who were in charge, all the other experts of the State of Great Xia went straight to the West Continent.
Half a month later, Liu An came out of the Well of Prenatal Qi. He glanced at the emperor in the throne room and nodded slightly. Then, he ran toward the west.
Half a month later, in a desert somewhere in the West Continent, Liu An’s figure landed on a mountain peak.
“Senior Xu said that the location of the exit is near here. The nearest route from here to the Central Continent is this valley on the right. With that kid’s strength back then, it’s already pretty good that he could get here.”
After Liu An finished analyzing, he jumped into the valley and started to move towards the Central Continent bit by bit.
On the ruins of Muyang City.
Li Mu was lying on a huge rock in the middle of the ruins.
The rock was cyan and was over 200 feet in length and width. This was one of the pieces that had shattered.
However, this was the largest piece.
The rock was engraved with runes that he couldn’t understand.
He gently stroked the runes on it.
“This is the city where the Xu Family once lived? Sign in~”
“Congratulations to host for successfully signing in to the ruins of Muyang City. You are rewarded with a basic knowledge of formations.”
“Basic knowledge of formations? I have known about this for a long time. Yet another useless signing. Let’s see, do you have anything to add?”
He took out a jade token from the space and casually stuck it on his forehead.
Li Mu didn’t have much hope either.
“En?”
After a moment, Li Mu sat up after absorbing the knowledge.
It wasn’t different, the knowledge inside was too rich. The formation he had obtained before was like a drop in the ocean.
“What I signed in before was all knowledge of formations. What is introduced here are all foundation knowledge.”
Turning back to look at the runes at the moment, Li Mu suddenly understood quite a bit.
The Xu Family was a formation aristocratic family.
Why hadn’t Xu Xiao mentioned this before?
If that was the case, when Muyang City was destroyed, the Xu Family wouldn’t be able to find a place to have a foothold for a short period. They would have to enter a small world.
It was not difficult for Li Mu to guess what had happened back then.
Then, he got up and turned around to leave.
Muyang City had been abandoned for god knows how many years. There were already many towering trees in the ruins.
When he happened to pass by here, he turned around to take a look.
Half a month later, at the ruined temple at the back mountain of the Xuantian Sect of the Shining Heaven Territory.
Li Mu appeared here again.
He stared at the forbidden land in the distance and pondered for a long time. Then, he stepped in.
He was now a warrior at the fourth layer of the Semi-god Realm. It would take him days and nights to improve himself.
Signing up for the ancient battlefield was not of much use to him.
To improve one’s state, one needed more than just skill.
After pondering over the Mystic Method, he had figured out everything that he needed. If he couldn’t figure it out, he could only try to enter this ancient place.
He dived into the inner square.
The Mystic Method operated crazily, barely counteracting the erosion of time.
After staying in the inner gate for a while, Li Mu continued to walk forward.
Then, 108 mountains appeared in front of him.
Li Mu glanced back and forth before running toward one of the mountains.
Half a day later, Li Mu brought the things he signed in and looted to another mountain.
After staying for a day, Li Mu left.
After half a year, Li Mu appeared in a cave.
He slowly walked into the cave and scanned the area with his divine consciousness and was stunned.
“This is a mountain full of prenatal stones!”
How extravagant.
Opening a cave abode in the mountain of prenatal stones to cultivate.
The ancient Xuantian Sect was indeed the Xuantian Sect. It was even more extravagant than the nest of the Roc Clan.
That Roc Clan’s strange place was hard to find.
The entire prenatal stone mountain range was even harder to find than that strange Stone Pillar Mountain.
In his divine consciousness, there was a jade bed at the end of the long tunnel. On the jade bed was a dried corpse.
From the looks of it, this dried corpse had died less than 20,000 years ago.
“This must be the legendary ancestor of the Xuantian Sect, right? He is in seclusion here and has abundant resources. However, if he doesn’t make a breakthrough within a short time, he will be eroded by time.”
Li Mu walked forward. The breeze carried by his body blew over, and the clothes of the dried corpse moved a little.
PA~
Hula~
The dried corpse was scattered everywhere.
Li Mu took a slight breath.
The corpse of a half-step Semi-god Realm expert had already been corroded by time to such an extent in 20,000 years.
It was terrifying!
After searching around the cave, he didn’t find anything valuable.
The marks on the wall had also fallen off.
As for the message left by this expert, he couldn’t see it clearly anymore.
Even the marks on the wall couldn’t be seen clearly.
Li Mu stared at the marks for a long time.
He could probably guess some of the last words.
It was nothing more than cursing at the heavens for not giving him a chance, not giving the Xuantian Sect a chance.
As for the words of sentiment left behind, it was useless to Li Mu.
The insights of a half-step Semi-god Realm cultivator were not worth his concern.
After staying for a while and leaving the cave, Li Mu ran to another mountain.
He climbed the mountain and checked in.
Half a month later, Li Mu stayed in a hall.
The walls of the hall, from the floor to the ceiling, were all made of a huge copper plate.
The copper plate was engraved with lines.
Li Mu stared at these copper plates for three days, and his gaze gradually deepened.
In the desert of the West Continent.
Liu An’s lips were dry and cracked, his hair was dry, and his figure became much thinner.
He had almost used up all the prenatal stones he had brought with him.
He bent over, and with every step forward, his body would tremble. It was as if every step was at the limit, and every step seemed to be a kind of mechanical movement.
Liu An’s gaze was ashen!
It was as if he had forgotten everything around him, forgotten himself.
Immersed in the footsteps that were moving forward step by step.
One day, two days…
One month, two months…
Dang~
One day, a sound came from beneath his feet.
It was as if he had stepped on something hard.
At this moment, Liu An’s footsteps suddenly stopped, as if he had come to his senses.
He trembled as he lay down, his hands digging into the soil.
His movements were still mechanical.
It could be seen that this action had already happened many times.
As the sand moved away, a white jade plate slowly appeared in the sand.
The jade plate was as long as a thumb, and it was engraved with strange patterns.
“Is this it?”
Liu An’s eyes were full of doubt. There was no surprise or disappointment.
He put the jade plate into the bag and glanced around before continuing forward.
After walking for more than twenty meters, he suddenly stopped and took out the jade plate from the bag to look at it repeatedly.
That’s right!
It was the same as the picture Senior Xu had drawn.
“Haha, I’ve finally found it!”
Wild laughter sounded from the valley.
Only after a long while did it calm down.
“Fortunately, there isn’t any sandstorm in this valley. Otherwise, this little thing would have been buried long ago. No wonder the Xu Family has been unable to find it for so many years.”
Who could find this thing that was buried here?
Even if the Xu Family sent people to look for it, those who hadn’t reached the Virtual Realm pinnacle wouldn’t be able to last this long.
“Eunuch Li, wait for me. I’ll be coming for you soon.”
Holding the jade plate, Liu An hastened his footsteps.
At the Xu Family in Muyang City.
Liu Yu held a pile of jade plates and placed them in front of Xu Xiao.
“No, none of them!”
Xu Xiao shook his head.
“How could it be?”
“You guys searched so loudly and even offered a high price to buy them. The blueprints are everywhere. There will always be people who want to earn some extra money.”
This group of fools, how could they offer prenatal stones to buy this thing?
Once they offered prenatal stones, fakes will start to appear in the market.
If you encountered a fake, would you buy it or not?
If you didn’t buy it, you might miss the real thing. If you bought it, you would be fooled again.
The worst thing was that other than him, no one else had seen this thing.
How could they tell?
“Senior, we are also panicking! There’s nothing else we can do.”
