The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The stone steps lead all the way down!

The further down you go, the denser and more numerous the talismans become!

After reaching a depth of about fifty zhang, flames appeared at the bottom.

These are the torches that were lit after the court officials came down!

Wen Qing, Ke Zhenhai, Zhao Wuji and their group walked down the last stone step and stepped onto the solid ground!

Just like above, there's nothing here!

There are no monsters, and of course, no treasures!

The heads of the various families and the leaders of the different sects exchanged glances.

This result caught them somewhat off guard!

After all this effort, are we just going to end up with nothing?

"Judging from the layout of this pit, there should be something being suppressed here, so why is there nothing here?" Wen Qing's expression was very bad.

"Using talismans to suppress them? Are you trying to suppress zombies? That's absurd!" Zhao Wuji shook his head.

Feng Mo frowned deeply: "If I had known the Martial God Palace was such a dreadful place, I wouldn't have come!"

It is said that the Martial God Palace was built by Emperor Qing Tai to worship the sea fairy. It contains countless rare treasures and holds the secret of immortality!

The results of it?

The place could be described as having nothing but bare walls!

What rare and precious treasures?

They're practically beggars!

“I’ve already said it’s just a legend.” Jia Daoshi shrugged. “None of you have ever been to the Temple of the God of War. If this place really was built by Emperor Qing Tai, then when Emperor Qing Tai gave up the throne and went to sea alone, no one knows what he did here later.”

"Moreover, apart from him, all the people who came out to search for the Temple of Martial Gods afterward never returned, so no one knows exactly what this place is!"

"What, are you all very disappointed now? So many people died, and we paid such a high price, only to end up in this godforsaken place."

Jia Daoshi launched into a sarcastic and cynical mode.

He certainly has the right to mock.

If it weren't for this wretched place, he might still be living a carefree and happy life in the manor, surrounded by beautiful women.

"No, look at that place!"

Just then, Huang Yaoshi, holding a torch, walked to the base of a wall.

The firelight illuminated the wall, and there on it appeared a mural!

This mural is enormous, measuring six or seven meters in height, and its horizontal length extends all the way to the bottom of the cave!

The murals are carved with exquisite detail and lifelike realism!

Moreover, it was entirely carved from sword marks!

Upon seeing this, everyone walked over without prior arrangement!

Jiangnan's gaze was suddenly drawn to one of the places!

Because there were hundreds of boats in that one place!

These ships sail on the high seas!

And at the bow of one of the boats, there was a young couple!

This scene seems familiar!

Jia Daoshi carefully counted the ships, and they were exactly the same number of ships in the fleet that had set sail this time.

As for the man and woman at the bow of the boat, aren't they myself and Yi Qianxiao?

Upon seeing this, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but get goosebumps!

If this is truly myself, then it is a prophecy!

How could a mural from so many years ago have predicted what is about to happen?

Soon, everyone discovered the mural, and their eyes showed shock!

"Could this be our fleet?" Yuchi Zhenjin murmured. "This is unbelievable!"

“Wait, the fact that the fleet has the same number of ships doesn’t necessarily prove that this is our fleet. It could just be a coincidence!” Fei Yan said in a deep voice.

“If this mural depicts us, that would be outrageous!” Fengmo shook his head.

“That’s right. If this painting is of us, then this is a huge mess! This place is at least a thousand years old, right? Could it be that someone predicted we would come here a thousand years ago?” Wen Qing asked incredulously.

Although there are divination techniques in the martial arts world, how is it possible to deduce things a thousand years in the future?

Now, the Martial God Temple, Emperor Qing Tai, the overseas immortals, the art of immortality, and the chosen one mentioned by the high priest of the Murong family—all these things are intertwined and, in a daze, have formed a mysterious and intricate chess game, leaving everyone completely clueless!

Jiangnan took a deep breath and slowly came back to her senses.

That's right, the person in this mural might not be him!

Why don't we continue reading?

The next part of the mural depicts the fleet stopping near a deserted island, where four statues of gods stand and a huge bronze door!

A group of people disembarked from the boat and stood before the statue of the god, their figures as small as ants!

It looks like they're planning to enter the bronze gate.

Even at this point, everyone was still able to identify themselves!

So everyone looked terrible!

But the murals that followed became eerie!

In this mural, a woman stands in a palace, and before her, all people are in submission!

A group of people knelt on the ground, facing the woman, appearing extremely devout!

It's unclear whether they were begging for mercy or surrendering. While the murals could capture the spirit of the people, they couldn't express their feelings!

Seeing this, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the direction of the murals is clearly different from their current situation!

Since they are different, then it's not about them. In that case, I can finally put my mind at ease!

Next, they looked at the murals that followed.

This time, the main character in the painting is still a woman!

But the woman's body was covered with talismans, and she lay quietly on the ground, seemingly dead!

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank.

The meaning that the murals are trying to convey is actually not difficult to understand.

I don't know when, but a group of people arrived here in a fleet of ships!

It could be the distant past, or it could be the present.

This group of people has entered the island!

The leader of them was a woman!

But in the end, the woman died, her body covered with talismans!

That's the gist of the matter, but why did it turn out this way?

What happened in the end?

Everyone was still completely bewildered!

"What on earth happened?" Zhao Wuji murmured. "I don't understand anything."

"It is said that Emperor Qing Tai once encountered a fairy by the sea..." Feng Mo said in a deep voice.

"If she was a fairy, how could she have died? And why did she die in the Martial God Temple?" Wen Qing deliberately lowered her voice, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Based on this, the mural depicts events that didn't happen recently, but rather hundreds or thousands of years ago.

"She entered the Temple of the Martial God and died. Was the Temple of the Martial God meant to worship her, or was it a trap set for her? What exactly is inside the Temple of the Martial God?" Master Ke of the Fireworks Sect asked many questions.

But these questions only elicited silence in response!
