Chapter 406 - Luminant Sun Gold (1/2)
The picture hung in the skies, and when looked carefully, it was like they could feel the roaring wind blowing out of the picture.
The godly weapon left behind by Lord Bai!
As he examined the Scroll of the Flowers of Snow, Zhong Yue murmured, "When did we enter this picture and when did we leave it?"
On the other side, Bai Shuyue murmured in awe, "We walked for over a thousand miles in the picture… Does that mean that the area in the picture is bigger than that? What about those that were killed in the picture?"
She then looked at the picture again, only to find ice sculptures, one after another, standing in the picture. These ice sculptures were the Bai Zhe Clan's Qi Practitioners that perished to eventually become part of the picture.
Zhong Yue's attention, however, was concentrated on something else. He saw the long hallway that they walked through in the picture, and at the very end of the hallway was an ice palace. The Frozen Ancient Capital of the Bai Zhe Clan was directly behind the palace!
Could it be that the Frozen Ancient Capital is actually in the picture? Have we been staying inside the picture all this time and only just got out of it?
Instantly, he felt that everything happened right now was incomprehensible.
If the Frozen Ancient Capital built within the North Barren were located in the picture, did that mean that the North Barren itself was also inside the picture?
Could it be that only by escaping the art would one be able to return to reality?
The more he thought about this, the more confused he became. Slowly, he felt that the line separating reality and illusion was growing more indistinct.
"This picture only contained about a thousand miles of the North Barren. It is not as strong as you think. If Lord Bai managed to do what you thought, he would have been on the level of the Creator," said Xin Huo.
Through Zhong Yue's vision, Xin Huo looked around and said again, "These ancient gods are all scum. How dare they use the Ancestral Star dimension to forge their own godly weapons! No wonder the Ancestral Star has become so small!"
The confused Zhong Yue then asked, "Xin Huo, how much of the Ancestral Star's dimension was used by these ancient gods?"
"The Ancestral star was much larger before, but these idiotic gods had nothing better to do. They all thought that the Heavenly Emperor returning to this planet to die was a license for them to keep taking portions of the Ancestral Star to make into their own. Just the portion stolen by Lord Bai himself was larger than the current Ancestral Star! I am very sure that aside from those we already know, there are even more ancient gods that stole the land of Ancestral Star and make it into their own godly weapons!"
"Just how big will the Ancestral Star be if the stolen dimension if the star were recovered?" asked Zhong Yue again.
"At least a thousand times bigger."
Zhong Yue then murmured, "These robbers! When I ascend as a god in the future, I will recover all that stolen land!"
"If you manage to do so, the Ancestral Star will be enlarged by a few times! The scene will definitely be quite incredible to behold!"
Meanwhile, Bai Shuyue examined the picture, and she tried to claim this godly weapon for herself. However, she failed inevitably as even the previously strong Qi Practitioners of her clan failed. Thus, she gave up after a few attempts.
"Xin Huo, any ideas on allowing me to claim this godly weapon for myself?" asked Zhong Yue again.
"I do have some ways and means, but you are not strong enough yet."
"Senior Martial Brother Zhong, I am not strong enough to advance on the path ahead easily anymore, I will have to rely on you then. Knowledge is power. Everything will depend on you from now on."
Zhong Yue opened up his divine third eye and looked at the ice surface ahead of them which seemed completely ordinary to the naked eye.
However, under the gaze of his divine eye, various colorful totem carvings appeared in his vision. These glowing totem carvings were all chained together as they all moved around the ice surface.
Judging from the large portion of these glowing light of the totem carvings that circled around frozen Qi Practitioners, these totem carvings were most probably some kind of dangerous seal.
However, since he was not strong enough, he couldn't do anything despite being able to see these seals.
It was Xin Huo that possessed the knowledge that allowed him to know the weaknesses of the many things he saw, not Zhong Yue himself.
"Xin Huo, can you help me to dispel these glowing seals?" asked Zhong Yue.
"These glowing seals implemented by Lord Bai are far weaker than the seals in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, so its not a problem to lift his seals. But with that your strength right now…."
"However, I can guide you into the seals without any problem."
Zhong Yue then took up his Golden Peng Sword, and as he entered the ice field carefully, the young lady from Bai Zhe Clan closely followed behind him. Under Xin Huo's guidance, Zhong Yue got past the seals one after another, and they continued going deeper into the ice field.
