Chapter 601: The Mysterious Ruins
Apart froh-spirited and defiant words on the stone wall, names had also been carved into the stone wall as well It was clear that these were the signatures left behind by the disciples of the Ancient Criant and bursting with energy, with the spirit of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes Not a hint of the despondency and plaintive self pity of one about to die was present Every single signature displayed the comprehension of one who’d transcended life and death
One’s words were a h thousands of years had passed, Jiang Chen could still see the lofty sentiments of the Ancient Cried into the frontlines to confront their ih they were fully aware of their i demise, they still held fast to their open- that transcended the cycle of life and death
“Just what had happened in the ancient past? Such a powerful sect actually had to send all its me Chen’sstrange about the origins of that powerful enes on the face of the stone cliff
Heavy stone steps girdled the face of the cliff, providing a path to the clifftop At the clifftop, Jiang Chen was greeted by three majestic statues Each approximately one hundred and twenty h the trappings of time had eroded them, their valiant and forhtest A stone tablet off to the side was inscribed with tords: Ancestor Cliff
Jiang Chen nodded slightly So this was a sacred ground meant to offer tribute to their ancestors These three ancestor statues had been carved with exquisite detail, alh they were but sculpted stone, they seemed to possess wisps of an ancient will, to the point where Jiang Chen could al the statue It was as though they could co Chen knew that once they reached a certain level of skill, experts were capable of i the inanimate object a bit of vitality In other planes, there were even titans who could create copies of the a portion of their consciousness with the object Those who lacked strength could only leave behind a trace of their intention and consciousness On the other hand, the ones with powerful arts at their disposal could create a fully autonoer
The three statues that Jiang Chen was gazing at ht contain a trace of ancient will, but had obviously not reached the level of independent autono Chen who stood there before them Any other youth of the Myriad Domain would not have the level of consciousness necessary to detect the abnor Chen stood beneath the statues, experiencing the ancient presence that these statues exuded
Wisps of presence curled up from beneath the pedestal of the three statues The stone statues seey bubbling froh to pique Jiang Chen’s curiosity He guessed that several extraordinary items were buried below the stone statues
The words carved on the cliff face had explained that should any of the Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect disciples survive, they must return to revive the sect However, it was apparent that all its disciples had perished in battle And he, Jiang Chen, seemed to be the first person who’d discovered this place since that time With that said, he really should be the one who could receive the Ancient Criacy
It’s just… As Jiang Chen surveyed his surroundings, he was at a loss With the exception of the overflowing spirit energy e else belonging to this Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect that he could inherit?
Besides the graveyard that sprawled over the mountainous wilderness, apart from the pieces of fallen ruins and shattered walls, there was only this towering cliff As he stood atop the cliff, Jiang Chen used his God’s Eye to carefully scan the area around hi out of the ordinary
Even after a fewaround the top of the cliff, he still didn’t find anything As for the spirit energy e Chen surmised that they were likely fro Chen did not considerthem After all, these were three monuments that had been dedicated to their ancestors, clearly a sacred ground for the Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect Even if there were treasures beneath, they could not be reached without destroying the statues Only, to destroy someone else’s sacred statues for the sake of a few stalks of spirit herbs, Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to do so And neither would he do it
Not only was this blasphemy to the ancestors, it was further disrespect to the sect If this had been a sect which had conducted all kinds of ht not have had any qual Chen had never witnessed the conduct of the Ancient Cri words on the cliff face that this was a ht sect that inspired veneration fro Chen would not desecrate their sacred grounds for some mere spirit herbs Not to acy of the Ancient Crie he’d retained from his previous life, no matter how impressive the ancient sect had been, it still wouldn’t measure up to his past
He circled the area a few htly disappointed, he wasn’t excessively upset “Forget it This Ancient Cri of the past Even if they had a legacy, I’ht now, tiet out of this place”
Jiang Chen had not forgotten that there were only two e And if he remembered correctly, the ruins he had entered were in the area of the ancient herb garden The for this area opened only once in three thousand years If he did not leave as soon as possible, he ht be trapped here for the next threeChen stepped before the stone statues and cupped his fists in a show of respect “The members of the Ancient Crimson Heavens Sect all died in defense of its ho less than ut Chen, have not found fortune here, I will remember this matter, and search for any descendents to send here”
