Chapter 488 - Ancient City (2/2)

Xiao Chen frowned. There would not be such a large area of thunderclouds here for no reason. It must have been pulled by the strange force. It was easy to explain. Just like the cultivators who could control the wind and rain, freeze the ice and call upon thunder, in fact, they only used their own strength to lead the power between heaven and earth. Cultivators used powerful thunder magic, such as the Five Thunder Bombardment of Sky. In fact, they only used their own strength to pull the power between heaven and earth, not by themselves.

“That strange force seems to still exist. Brother Xiao, why don’t we take a closer look?” Yi Tong said as he looked at him.

“Sure.” Xiao Chen nodded. He had the same idea. If he wanted to establish his own power now, he would need a huge amount of it. This power included manpower, as well as the Force of Nature. Both were indispensable.

The company continued their journey for another 10 kilometers until they reached a river. The wind howled and grass and trees flew in all directions. Ziyun’er looked at the river in the distance, her eyes wide open with shock. The rest of the company also revealed shocked expressions at this moment.

“Nine Dragons Drawing Water!”

Yang Qing could not help but exclaim. The man next to him was even more shocked and his voice was trembling, “Oh my god, it’s the Nine Dragons Drawing Water. I could actually see such a peculiar scene with my own eyes in my life! It’s incredible!”

Nine white water columns rushed into the sky. Each of the water columns was as thick as a palace pillar as if they were going to break through the clouds. There was no end to it. The momentum was horrifying and frightening.

“What, what’s going on…” Ziyun’er said in a daze. She could not believe what she saw.

Xiao Chen frowned. It was very rare for Nine Dragons Drawing Water to occur. Normal people would think that there was a Demon or the Dragon King had raged. Some cultivators believed that there was a dragon that appeared or a Dissimilated Man had born. In fact, the reason for the appearance of most of the Nine Dragons Drawing Water peculiar scenes was that the power of heaven and earth was attracted by some kind of force.

“Nine Dragons Drawing Water is a rare sight that appears once in a thousand years. Brother Xiao, there might be something good waiting for you in front,” Yi Tong said with a faint smile.

Xiao Chen gradually relaxed his brows and said with a smile, “I dare not covet the boundless power of heaven and earth easily.” Then he looked at the people behind him and said, “Let’s go, cross the river. Be careful. Remember to leave a thousand feet away from these water columns.”

They took out their flying sword again and flew to the opposite bank of the river. When they were about to reach the opposite side of the river after leaving the nine water columns, they saw many deep blue vortexes in the center of the river below. Each whirlpool was more than 100 feet wide and was deep. It made people felt chills on their backs.

“Nowadays, there are frequent strange phenomena in all parts of Violet Manor. It seems that something big is going to happen.”

They arrived at the opposite bank of the river. There were reeds growing on the bank that rose and fell with the wind. The scene on the other bank was completely different as if they had entered another world.

“It seems that the faint strange power has disappeared?” Xiao Chen said with a frown.

Gui Xian looked grave and shook his head. “No, it had not. The other side of the river should be the place where the power leaked. That’s why there’s a strange phenomenon. But the source of this power should be…” He turned to look in the southeast direction.

After a moment of silence, Gui Xian turned back to look at him with a faint smile on his face. “Kid, God never helped you in the past. This time, it seems that God is finally helping you.” In the end, he raised his head and smiled. “Let’s go!”

Xiao Chen did not quite understand what he meant, but he was very experienced. If he said so, it must be not a bad thing. He relaxed a little, and then everyone continued to ride on the sword to the southeast direction.

This time, the speed of everyone on their swords was not very fast. They carefully observed the mountains and rivers below. When they flew hundreds of miles away, Gui Xian suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, “Stop!”

Everyone immediately stopped and looked down. They saw that there was a big city below, but there was no one in the city. Many houses had collapsed, weeds were everywhere, and the streets were full of thistles. The buildings were covered with vines, and some animals with strange shapes could be seen passing through the streets.

Everyone was a little surprised. Although the ancient city below had been turned into ruins, the outline of the buildings could still be seen clearly. The architecture of these buildings was different from that of the present five continents of the Violet Manor. Moreover, judging from the age, it should have been from a long time ago, at least more than 3,000 years ago.

Everyone looked at each other and felt very strange that no one here had ever discovered it. Yang Qing murmured, “Could it be… an ancient relic?”

Xiao Chen did not speak. His brows were slightly furrowed. The ancient city below was at least a few thousand years old. Could it be the city of his era? Looking at the ruins below, and many buildings that had been buried in the soil, Xiao Chen could not help but feel a little sad.

Yi Tong smiled and said, “That’s right. If I’m right about the source of that strange power, it’s right below this city.”
