Chapter 779 (2/2)

Here was a huge stone pillar hundreds of miles long that was collapsed on the ground . It was broken in several places . Standing in front of it, Long Chen felt himself to be as miniscule as an ant .

The pillar had countless carvings on it . There were azure dragons, divine phoenixes, as well as beasts that he had never seen before . Although the stone pillar was already fractured, it still emitted a powerful might .

Within Long Chen’s mind, a possible scene appeared: a huge pillar propping up the sky with endless carvings of grand and imposing dragons and phoenixes . Just how amazing must the Immemorial path have been before it had been destroyed? He saw that the ground was inlaid with huge bricks dozens of miles long and with an unknown thickness . They were all covered in dust . There were broken eaves that were as big as mountains .

Those golden days were no longer present . Everything was bleak . It felt like the broken pillar on the ground was trying to say something, but no one could understand it .

“It looks like the legends really were true . Back in the immortal era, people really were able to cultivate to immortality and ascend through the heavens . Otherwise, there would have been no way to construct such a huge path . This is definitely the style of immortals and G.o.ds . ”

He looked at the huge stone pillar and felt its majestic aura . A single fallen pillar was comparable to a huge mountain range . He really didn’t believe that mere humans were capable of constructing such a superstructure .

Flying on the pillar, he looked over his surroundings . He saw what should have been the top of a huge gate . There should have been two huge pillars holding that up and some huge board with Immemorial Path written on it .

But Long Chen didn’t see any such board . As for this upper part of the gate, he was only seeing a portion of it . He had no idea if the rest of it had fallen into other areas or had disappeared into the abyss .

Long Chen walked up to the broken roof of the gate . There were three roof tiles, but they were already covered in cracks . Seeing roof tiles that were over a hundred meters long, Long Chen was filled with awe .

He didn’t know what material these tiles were made of . Picking up a small broken piece, he found he was unable to crush it . Its hardness was even greater than Treasure items .

Furthermore, they seemed just like ordinary tiles and not even made of metal . Maybe some kind of energy was supporting them that made it so he couldn’t break them .

Long Chen went all out, but he was still unable to break a palm-sized piece . That made him suck in a cold breath . Just what kind of power could have destroyed the entire Immemorial Path? Had it really been a battle of G.o.ds?

If there were really G.o.ds, why would they fight here, a trial land for disciples? Long Chen couldn’t figure it out .

But this scene was truly shocking . He realized just how miniscule he was . In front of this power, he was as weak as an ant . It could truly cause a person to weep in despair .

“Could it be that this is the kind of power required to stand at the peak of the martial path?” A bitter smile of powerlessness surfaced on Long Chen’s face .

The expert who had been fleeing with him as a baby had told Long Tianxiao that Long Chen shouldn’t try to find his origins until he reached the peak of the martial path .

In the beginning, from the huge river that was formed from the expert’s slash, Long Chen had thought that the expert had merely had a Xiantian cultivation base .

But now that he was at the Xiantian realm, he still hadn’t reached the realm of even learning what the Dao Transformation was . In order to protect Long Chen, that person had isolated himself from fate, choosing to transform himself into the Dao .

Only later had Long Chen learned that when a Celestial reached the Sea Expansion realm, they would be able to refine themselves and return to the Heavenly Daos, erasing a portion of the karma relating to them .

Someone who had at least been a Sea Expansion Celestial had actually been just a servant, and had sacrificed their entire existence to save him . Long Chen felt almost suffocated when he thought of his origins .

Taking a deep breath, Long Chen pushed aside those thoughts . As his parents’ son, he definitely couldn’t retreat just because of some difficulties . That wasn’t his style .

Jumping off the gate, he saw that there was a large design on its sharp corner . Because it was too big, he couldn’t get a good look at it from up close . He retreated into the distance to get a good look .

“This seems to be a rune . Although I can’t understand it, I’ll record it for now . ” Long Chen took out and activated a photographic jade .

Bang!

Suddenly, the photographic jade exploded . Long Chen was stunned as this was too bizarre . He couldn’t recall such a thing ever happening before .

He took out another one, and as soon as he activated it, it exploded again . Long Chen grew more suspicious .

He carefully looked at that diagram . Taking out a beast hide, he was just about to draw it when he realized that despite clearly memorizing it, his head was blank . He had no memory of what that diagram looked like .

“There’s definitely something strange here . ”

Long Chen stared closely at the diagram, once more memorizing it, and then he rapidly raised his brush to draw it .

But his brush had only just touched the paper when his hand stopped . His memories had disappeared again .

“You won’t let me remember you? Then I’ll just draw you while I look at you . ”

Long Chen stared at the diagram, and his hand began to move . He had just lightly touched the paper when his brush exploded, and Long Chen let out a pained groan . He almost collapsed on the ground .
