Chapter 786: Entering where the Eternal Heroes Slumber (II) (2/2)
Even if it was Demon God Emperor, it was impossible for him to understand the interior of the sacred mountains within the great array of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain. The great array contained extremely powerful light element as well as the secrets of countless other arrays. Many of these secrets originated from the ancient elves. Even the Knight Temple that was directly in control of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain did not completely understand the secrets of the great array.
However, Long Haochen’s mental force met no obstruction at all as he stood there. In just a short while, he had enveloped the entire mountain.
As the person in possession of the Light God physique and Light God Domain, how could any light element array reject him? It was just like a girl who had opened her heart up completely, allowing him to study it as he wished.
Very soon, Long Haochen felt like he knew everything he wanted to know. After studying it, Long Haochen discovered that the Knights’ Sacred Mountain itself was composed of nine light element arrays, which were broken up into a central array and eight outer arrays. The nine arrays then formed a completely new array. The arrays had been cast down with such complexity that he had never seen anything like this before. And, the array had an extremely powerful restricting ability. Even if powerhouses of the ninth step intruded this place, they would probably suffer greatly at the hands of the array.
There were many light element magical beasts that lived on the Knights’ Sacred Mountain. They were also the source of mounts for young knights of the temple. However, the true secrets of the mountain lay in its interior. The location where he currently stood was the fundamental point of the central formation among the nine formations. Controlling the great array had to be done here, while the sacred mountain insignia in his hand was the key to unlocking the array’s full power, or to open up the array.
Raising the insignia over his head, Long Haochen slowly poured spiritual energy into it. As soon as pure, light element spiritual energy had entered the insignia, it immediately shone brightly with golden light.
The insignia seemed to produce a faint hum and afterwards, the nine arrays in the mountain actually all responded.
A golden ripple expanded below Long Haochen, lighting up the ancient elvish symbols. In just a few seconds, all of the ancient elvish symbols in the centre of the mountain had lit up.
The symbols all seemed to be revived. As golden light began to flow, some of the rings of golden symbols rotated clockwise, while others rotated anti-clockwise. Golden symbols began to appear in the air as well, around the sacred mountain insignia in Long Haochen’s hand.
Yang Haohan had told Long Haochen before they arrived here that once he had activated the sacred mountain insignia, he would be able to sense the sealed cavern.
Now, Long Haochen could vividly sense that the sacred mountain insignia had offered him several different auras. One was to activate defences, one was to activate attacks and the last one was the way to the sealed cavern.
With a thought, the insignia activated and a powerful beam of light suddenly erupted from below Long Haochen, connecting with the ceiling. Long Haochen was completely enveloped by the beam of light. The light element was so dense that it was almost tangible. Even Cai’er who possessed powers of purification felt a sense of sluggishness that almost immobilised her.
Not only did activating the array of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain require the sacred mountain insignia, it also required sufficiently strong abilities of the light element. If it was any other element, they would all fail. If a darkness element powerhouse had managed to steal the sacred mountain insignia and had made it in here, then there would only be two outcomes. The first one would be if they were powerful enough, such that they could break out of the array and leave. The second outcome was much more likely, which was being torn apart by the light element.
The beam of light lasted for half a minute before slowly vanishing. When the beam of light subsided, Long Haochen had vanished.
Surrounded by dense light element, he traveled a very short distance through space. Through the investigations Long Haochen had performed earlier, he already knew the exact location of the sealed cavern. However, the location had been completely suppressed by the array of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain. Even with his current level of cultivation, he had no confidence in breaking into there without the sacred mountain insignia.
This was below the Knights’ Sacred Mountain.
The golden light in the surroundings gradually dispersed. The first thing that Long Haochen felt was a chill. He could feel the coldness even with his cultivation, which demonstrated just how powerful the coldness was. It was definitely not just a matter of temperature.
Everything in the surroundings cleared up. Appearing before Long Haochen was a corridor paved with grey rock. The surroundings were pitch-black, but Long Haochen personally shone with a faint golden light, enough to illuminate several meters away.
The air in the corridor was extremely foul, while the coldness surged over from up ahead.
Long Haochen raised a hand and a gentle, white flame immediately appeared. With a gentle flick of his finger, a white flame flew ahead. It was not particularly large, but wherever it went, it burned away the foulness in the air. It was not important whether the air was breathable or not. He just disliked this foulness. At the same time, he could see the situation up ahead clearly under the illumination of the white flame.
The corridor slowly extended downwards, so the white flame directly landed on the wall up ahead. It was not extinguished and instead burned on the wall like a lantern. However, it did not burn the grey rock bricks.
Under the light from the flames, Long Haochen made his way forward. The sacred mountain insignia in his hand shone with a faint golden light, which serve as a source of light to a certain degree.
