Primordial Qi

Chapter 58: Ancient City Revealed

The yellow sand stopped flying, and that half of the land became eerily quiet. The three men looked solemn, and for a moment they didn't know where to start.

The opportunity was fleeting and there was no time for them to discuss, so Li Tianxuan took the first step.

The sand was very compact, so there was no chance of falling off or encountering quicksand. Li Tianxuan walked in front, followed closely by Gu Chenyu and Gu Qingxue. There was a cool feeling in the sand, and Gu Chenyu always felt a chill on his back.

Li Tianxuan squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand, then slowly opened his palm. However, the sand did not sway, but fell straight into a pyramid.

There is no wind here.

A few seconds ago the sky was full of yellow sand, so naturally there would be strong winds, but now there is no wind at all, which is indescribably strange.

The three of them continued to move forward. The sun in the sky became brighter and brighter, and the original cold air turned dry and hot. They walked for an unknown distance, but the ancient city remained the same size, but the three of them felt their lips and tongues becoming increasingly dry.

"What's going on? Why do I feel hotter and hotter?" Gu Chenyu stopped and looked up at the sky. He grabbed a handful of sand and found that the sand on the surface was actually quite hot.

"Something's wrong. It's really wrong. I feel like the sun is getting hotter and brighter."

"No, no, the sun is closer to us." Gu Qingxue said.

"Go a little further." Li Tianxuan blocked the sunlight with his hands and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, Gu Qingxue's face turned pale and she finally fainted on the ground. Gu Chenyu hurriedly picked up Gu Qingxue. The girl gritted her teeth. Her body could no longer withstand the heat, but she insisted on not saying anything.

Gu Chenyu took out a pot of water and gave it to her to drink. They would not lack water. The water in it was enough for hundreds of people to drink for a month. Needless to say, Gu Chenyu carried a dozen storage bags with him.

Gu Qingxue woke up faintly. Her face was pale and she said weakly, "Something is wrong here. I can't feel the spiritual energy in my body."

Li Tianxuan and Gu Chenyu looked at each other. They could both feel the true energy flowing in their bodies, but they could not feel the problem of spiritual power loss.

Gu Chenyu picked up Gu Qingxue and asked, "If you are tired, tell me and I will carry you."

Gu Qingxue nodded. She didn’t know why she kept walking inside. It was not until she fainted that the attraction was no longer so strong.

Gu Chenyu got a palm-leaf fan from somewhere and started fanning Gu Qingxue, but the effect was not good. It felt like the fan was about to catch fire.

Gu Chenyu transferred his true essence to Gu Qingxue, and her pale face improved slightly. The barrier formed by the true essence could naturally avoid the heat. Gu Chenyu hugged Gu Qingxue with one hand and used the corner of his cloak to block the sunlight with the other hand. They both covered themselves with pure white cloaks, which did have some effect.

After walking for a while, Li Tianxuan discovered four figures in the distance, falling to the ground in unison.

Li Tianxuan originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business and was ready to go around, but when they got closer, Gu Chenyu was horrified to find that the four people falling to the ground were the four monsters.

Gu Chenyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately went over to help, first using water to cool down a large area, then building a shed for them to isolate some of the heat.

"Why are you here?" Gu Chenyu asked puzzled.

"You once asked us if we knew anything about the ancient city. We were very curious, so we came here from another road. We entered this place about two days ago. Unexpectedly, the ancient city was so close and yet so far away." Baihu said. They had been walking for two days and two nights and were a little exhausted.

Li Tianxuan was stunned. Two days ago? They just came in today.

It seems that the yellow sand in the secret realm stops at a certain regularity, and who knows when the sandstorm will come again.

"There must be a terrifying formation set up here that can make us lose our way." Li Tianxuan said. He looked up at the sun, as if that was one of the reasons why they lost their way.

"Let's do a small experiment. We will tie ropes around every two people and stand in a row. Then they will head towards the ancient city at the same time. One person will not look at the sun, while the other will keep staring at the sun. We will walk for a distance and see what the result will be." Li Tianxuan said, and a long rope appeared in his hand.

Everyone nodded, tied the rope around their waists, and walked forward.

Huo Huang, Bai Hu, and Gu Chen Yu looked at the sun as they moved forward, but the others did not look at it. After a while, they fell to the ground in a mess.

"This sun is really evil." Baihu cursed inwardly. The amplitude of their turns was different, and there was a longer rope tied in the middle. Once they fell, they all fell down.

The seven of them hid behind a sand dune, set up a shed and decided to wait until night. The four monsters said it would be extremely cold at night, but they didn't care, as they had thick skin and flesh, especially the Fire Phoenix, who could feel the warmth when they were close to her.

"Our spiritual power is beginning to decrease, as if it is trapped inside our bodies. We can only exert a tiny part of our spiritual power. Here we can only rely on our physical bodies." Lightning reminded. He obviously did not realize that Gu Chenyu and Li Tianxuan had no spiritual power in their bodies, and they did not major in spiritual power.

Time passed very slowly, and they could only meditate and regulate their breathing. They didn't know how much time had passed before the sky gradually darkened.

"Let's go. The sun has become weaker and it shouldn't have much impact on us."

The seven people stood up, and Gu Qingxue jumped onto Gu Chenyu's back, and they set off in an orderly manner.

This period of time was most suitable for traveling. They had ropes tied around their waists, and everyone walked in the direction where they saw the ancient city. This time they were surprisingly unanimous.

He continued to move forward without hesitation. Even if he was almost nowhere, he would not lose his way. Gu Chenyu even took out a cloth strip to cover his eyes. Through the faint vision, Gu Chenyu was able to maintain a good speed.

“I should have worn sunglasses earlier. Now I look like an old blind man.” Gu Chenyu muttered.

"Sunglasses? What are those?" Gu Qingxue in his arms asked.

"It's a spiritual treasure, very expensive, much better than your Tongtian Mirror." Gu Chenyu boasted.

Gu Qingxue rolled her eyes and she was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

As night fell, they lost their direction and the ancient city was nowhere to be seen. Unexpectedly, the way to prevent others from entering the ancient city at night was to make them unable to see where the ancient city was.

For a moment, everyone felt a little headache. They couldn't just keep walking around.

"Or do we want to rest here?" asked Gu Chenyu.

"Let's set up camp here. It's so dark and there's no moonlight." Baihu said in surprise. The moon was there for those two days and two nights.

"It's really strange, but fortunately we didn't encounter any danger." They quickly set up the tent as it would be extremely cold at night.

Li Tianxuan felt a little hot in his abdomen, and the golden paper began to become restless, so Li Tianxuan simply let it out.

The golden paper floated in the air, emitting different lights in four directions, and then floated towards the brightest place.

"This is the only scripture taken from this secret land. It may be related to the ancient city." Gu Chenyu reminded.

Everyone followed without hesitation. They were too lazy to take the things. Li Tianxuan even summoned out the remaining seven scriptures, and everyone had a scripture protecting them.

Gu Chenyu and Gu Qingxue were surrounded by two people. They could feel the faint warmth emanating from the scripture, so it was not too cold.

After walking for a long time, the light emitted by the first scripture became brighter and brighter, and we must be close to the ancient city.

The moonlight suddenly enveloped the earth, and the huge ancient city began to appear before them. This time it was no longer so far away, but right in front of them.

The cautious Gu Chenyu decided to let everyone wait until daybreak before going into the ancient city. After all, it was not far away, and if any situation occurred, they could attack or defend, and it would also be convenient for them to escape.
