269 The Immortal Establishment Realm! (1/2)
The illusory form of Little Missy led the unconscious Wang Baole into the depths of the crater.
The mist was thinner here, and unable to conceal the full sight before them.
It was a vast, round cavern that stretched for thousands of yards. Unless one was perched atop an elevated spot, try as they might, they wouldn't be able to see the end of the cavern.
What was visible within the expansive cavern was the thousands of figures on the ground, laid out in circles, kneeling forward in a bow. They didn't move a single inch. Their attires were different from those of people on Earth and clearly from a more ancient time. If there had been a specialist from the Federation well versed in the study of the ancient green-bronze sword, he would immediately recognize them to be… ancient sword cultivators!
In the crowd were both men and women, old and young. All of them were kneeling forward in a deep bow. They had long passed, but the bodies they had left behind retained the last expression on their faces before they died. It was as if they had shut their eyes in devoted prayer, or perhaps in an attempt to summon something just before their death…Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
In a single glance, one would see rings upon rings of cultivators filling the entire cavern. In the center of the rings was a towering altar!
The altar stood three hundred meters tall and had three tiers… If Wang Baole were awake, he would find the altar familiar. It was the exact same altar that he had seen during his fusion with the small tripod cauldron!
Even the lowest first tier and its four corners upon which the small tripod cauldrons sat were exactly the same. However, there were only two small tripod cauldrons on the altar, and they were both broken. No Spirit Qi emanated from them. The other two cauldrons had somehow been taken away, perhaps shot out from the crater or through some other means and for some other reason. One of those was undoubtedly the one Wang Baole had fused with!
Some of the beads on the second tier and the mist on the third tier were also either absent or broken and left without Spirit Qi.
They were all unimportant though. What was most important… was the mist that hovered above the altar in mid-air. It exuded an astounding vitality, and within the mist was the indistinct form of… a green lotus!
The green lotus was partially shriveled up. Despite that, when it swayed gently in the breeze, it radiated a green light that emanated spirit energy which seemed to have surpassed certain limits. It sat within the green glow, contained. However, looking at the green lotus, one was faced with a vision of a thundering Spirit Qi hurricane that rose to the heavens!
In comparison, the small tripod cauldron that Wang Baole had gotten his hands on previously was like a pale pinprick of a star hanging in the same sky as the bright luminous moon. The light exuding from both heavenly objects weren't of the same class!
The vitality in the mist had clearly originated from within the green lotus. The intensity of the vitality could blanket the entire Mystic Luna Realm if unleashed!
The green lotus sat in the mist. It felt like something that didn't belong to this world. The mere sight of it would shake one to their core, like a violent hurricane sweeping away one's spirit and soul!
It was something that had been worshipped by tens of thousands of ancient cultivators and had received tribute in the form of numerous small tripod cauldrons and other even rarer items. That itself was a sign of its immense power!
It was as if it were the embodiment of legends!
The embodiment of myths!
The embodiment of hope and endless possibility!
One might even say that its power didn't affect only the cultivators on Earth. Those who hailed from other civilizations and practiced the art of cultivation, regardless of their cultivation realm, would, upon seeing the green lotus, go mad with longing for it. Waves of lust would rise roaring in their hearts!
It was as if the green lotus reigned supreme and was one of the many mysterious life-transforming powers in the universe!
The cultivators here might have been people who had landed on the moon after the ancient green-bronze sword shattered. Before they died, they had carried out a grand sacrificial ceremony and attempted to summon the green lotus. They had succeeded, but for some reason, had still fallen.
Or perhaps the green lotus had been a sacred object that had belonged to their clan and had been something they had used their lives to protect.
