My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down
Chapter 56: The Afterglow of the Ancestral God
"Demon Suppression Hall: This is a temple built by the Xuanyuan Emperor, the ancestor of mankind, with his supreme divine power. There are 108 of these temples in existence, but most have been erased by the long river of time."
This was the message sent back by the Supreme Divine Eye when Zhao Mu saw the temple.
This is a place used to suppress evil spirits. Evil spirits dare not approach. It must be a safe area.
Without waiting for others to take the lead, Zhao Mu had already taken the lead and walked into the temple.
Su Qianqian and Huang Xi followed one on the left and one on the right.
But Xingtuan seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere here and did not follow Zhao Mu in. He just circled outside the temple on guard.
Zhao Mu didn't find it strange.
Even a five-clawed dragon is still an evil creature to humans.
The ancestor of mankind, Emperor Xuanyuan, built the Demon-Suppressing Palace to suppress all the evil spirits in the world, even the dragons were no exception.
Zhao Mu walked up to the dilapidated stone sculpture and bowed deeply to it.
Although only the outline of the stone sculpture remained, Zhao Mu was certain that the person enshrined here was definitely Emperor Xuanyuan.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who single-handedly protected all human beings.
How can I not worship!
Seeing this, the others, although they did not understand the situation, followed Zhao Mu to pay homage.
At this moment, a faint light emanated from the statue, enveloping everyone.
Everyone was a little panicked at first, but they soon realized that this light was extremely holy, as if it was a blessing from ancient times, making everyone feel energetic and full of strength.
"Uh...why am I the only one who doesn't have it?" Huang Xi was dumbfounded.
Zhao Mu smiled and patted Huang Xi's head: "You are not a human, so naturally you cannot enjoy the protection of the human ancestors."
"Mr. Zhao, do you know what's going on?" Su Zeyu asked curiously.
Zhao Mu said, "Someone just guessed correctly. The deity enshrined here is indeed Emperor Xuanyuan. This temple is called the Demon-Suppressing Hall. It was built by Emperor Xuanyuan specifically to suppress the demon race. Therefore, there are no traces of demons around here. It is safe to stay here for the time being."
"Demon Suppression Hall!"
"I've read in history books that Emperor Xuanyuan built 108 demon-suppressing palaces to suppress the demons, rendering them powerless. From then on, the human race began a glorious era."
"No wonder this restricted area is called the burial ground of the ancestors. It seems that Emperor Xuanyuan is really buried here."
Everyone started talking about it.
Zhao Mu walked to the bottom of the statue, peeled off the soil, and stood up a fallen stone tablet.
Ancient inscriptions are engraved on the stone tablet.
Zhao Mu gave up after taking one look.
I can't recognize a single word.
Su Zeyu also came over to take a look and shook his head.
"Emperor Xuanyuan existed over tens of millions of years ago. Although humanity continued to multiply, civilizations changed several times. The writing system of that time has long been lost. Even historians would be unable to decipher a few characters."
At this time, Su Qianqian walked forward and glanced at the stone tablet.
She simply said, "Today, I suppressed the Red-haired Demon, the vanguard of the Demon Nation, here. I feel my time is up, and the Tower of Eternal Life has yet to appear. How sad, how lamentable..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Su Qianqian in shock.
Could she decipher the ancient inscription on this stone tablet?
Zhao Mu was not surprised at all.
Su Qianqian is the reincarnation of the Empress Zhatian, so it is normal for her to know some ancient inscriptions.
What made Zhao Mu curious was the content recorded on the inscription.
This should be what Emperor Xuanyuan wrote in his essay after suppressing the evil spirits.
What is the Tower of Eternal Life?
Is there really a way to achieve immortality?
According to Zhao Mu's understanding of the Holy Xuan Continent, immortality does not exist in this world.
Even the invincible God Emperor in the upper realm has an end to his lifespan.
When chatting with Su Qianqian before, she also revealed that the strong people in the upper realm tried all kinds of means to pursue eternal life, but in the end they all returned empty-handed.
Even if one is an invincible being, living for more than 100,000 years is already the limit.
A lifespan of 100,000 years is an insurmountable obstacle.
No matter how powerful you are, you must die after living for 100,000 years.
You will not die of old age or illness. Even if your body is extremely healthy and your spirit is full and abundant, you will die suddenly when the time comes.
It feels like the God of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning and will never let you live until five o'clock.
This is like the underlying code of this world, a rule established at the beginning of its existence that no one can defy.
But judging from the content of the inscription, Emperor Xuanyuan seemed to have discovered the way to eternal life.
It's just that he discovered it too late. When he discovered it, the deadline was approaching and there was no time left.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Zhao Mu secretly memorized this information in his heart.
Although his deadline is still a long way off, it is never a bad idea to prepare for a rainy day.
"That ray of light just now was indeed a lingering glimmer left behind by Emperor Xuanyuan. The power contained within it can temporarily boost the strength of human warriors and increase their resistance to demonic evil. This effect will last for approximately three days."
Su Qianqian said again.
After that, she returned to Zhao Mu and whispered in his ear, "My dear, there's another passage recorded on the stone tablet, added by someone later. It says, 'To see the tomb of the ancestor of mankind, you need to light sixteen demon soul lamps.'"
Zhao Mu nodded slightly: "I understand."
This is a very crucial piece of information.
There must be countless treasures in Emperor Xuanyuan's tomb.
Although Zhao Mu was not very interested in tomb robbing, and it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to rob the tomb of the ancestral god of the human race, but there was no such thing as too much information, in case it could be useful in the future.
"Three days...it seems we are very pressed for time."
"We can't stay here any longer. This is safe, but there's no way to lift the curse by staying here."
"Let's go. With the protection of Emperor Xuanyuan, you won't have to be afraid if you encounter evil spirits again."
Everyone in the Su family quickly reached a consensus that they should take advantage of the period when the protection of the human ancestor was in effect to search for the spider monster's true form.
After leaving the Demon-Suppressing Palace, Zhao Mu was about to set off when he suddenly discovered that the star cluster had disappeared.
Suddenly, a dazzling starlight came from afar.
There was even a meteorite burning with fierce flames falling from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, and the shock wave looked quite shocking.
This is... Star Cluster's exclusive martial art, Starburst Impact, and it has triggered a meteorite summon.
"This guy……"
If you don't keep an eye on it for two minutes, it will go out and work on its own.
It’s enough to have a fighting maniac like Huang Xi at home, but now there’s another troublemaker, it’s not easy to deal with.
"Why are you looking at me? Although I like fighting, I still know my limits." Huang Xi said unhappily.
Zhao Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go over and take a look first. The enemy that can make Xing Tuan make such a big fuss must be a tough guy."
Zhao Mu hugged the two ladies' slender waists at the same time and flew forward on his sword.
Seeing this, Su Zeyu hesitated for a moment and then called on the Su family members to follow.
Zhao Mu is now the core combat force of the team, and we cannot go on the next journey without him.
