Chapter 86 The Ancient Scroll Opens The Door, The Secret History Of Heavenly Star Palace
Gu Cheng followed the route map instructions on the ancient scroll.
It flew by for about half an hour.
"Buzz~!"
Passing by the mountains behind Heavenly Star Palace.
The ancient scroll trembled violently.
"Could it be that the ancient scrolls indicate that the end point is here?"
Gu Cheng's mind moved, and he twisted left and right along the route marked in the ancient scroll, and soon came to the entrance indicated by the ancient scroll.
In front of Gu Cheng.
It's a broken stone door.
The stone gate is incomplete, with complex patterns carved on it, and many runes that have disappeared, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a formation pattern.
There are still many footprints and traces of battles on the ground of Shimen.
Apparently the geniuses who came here before wanted to open the stone door.
But after studying for a long time, I couldn't find any way to crack it. I even tried to use brute force to smash the door, but in the end I still failed.
"Are there any other conditions needed to open this stone door?"
Gu Cheng looked at the lines and grooves on the stone door and fell into deep thought.
"Boom!"
While Gu Cheng was observing, the ancient scroll in his hand floated out and embedded in the groove of the stone door.
Grooves and lines flashed with brilliance.
Then the stone door made a heavy sound and slowly opened, revealing a dark corridor.
"I see."
"This ancient scroll is the key to opening the door."
Gu Cheng's eyes sparkled.
He immediately walked towards the dark corridor.
It went on for a while.
Gu Cheng walked through the passage and came inside.
Discover that there is a Grotto-Heaven here.
It seems to be an underground palace built thousands of years ago.
In the palace, there are countless crystal stones shining with Shen Xi Baoxia that illuminate the surroundings.
Lifelike murals are carved on the walls.
The seals are engraved with various rare treasures, birds and animals, and Spirit Pills.
Depicting the glory of Heavenly Star Palace as a top power.
Gu Cheng walked slowly towards the depths of the palace.
At the end of the hall, there stand four giant pillars more than ten feet high.
It is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and is inlaid with dazzling night pearls.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the high platform.
The high platform is more than three meters wide and more than ten feet long. It is round and translucent, and is carved with many complex and dense inscriptions and runes.
It was placed in the center of the palace.
There are seven coffins made of white jade placed on it.
Each coffin is engraved with the name of the person in the coffin.
Gu Cheng looked intently.
The First Elder Ji Taimei, the Second Elder Wu Yifan...
"It seems that this is the burial place of the powerful Heavenly Star Palace."
After Gu Cheng looked around, he realized that the other coffins had been closed.
Only the coffin in the middle had a gap, and a skeleton could be vaguely seen lying inside.
This skeleton is extremely extraordinary, with bright brilliance flowing on it, and faintly exuding a heart-stopping pressure.
"Why is this coffin not closed? Could it be that he is not dead yet?"
So Cheng's thoughts changed sharply.
But soon, he rejected his speculation.
Because, from the time he entered until now, there was no living thing in the entire hall except him.
At this moment, the coffin in the middle began to vibrate suddenly.
A low roar sounded.
The next second.
A blazing Baoxia divine light diffused from the gap in the coffin, and the vast and powerful aura enveloped Gu Cheng.
"what's the situation?"
Gu Cheng was stunned, his face full of doubts.
For some reason, strange and distant memory fragments suddenly appeared in his mind.
These memory fragments seem to span a long time and travel through the boundless nothingness.
…
Thousands of years ago.
An extremely powerful man appeared on the continent.
Li Tianxing.
He led seven disciples to found Heavenly Star Palace.
All seven of them have incredible Cultivation Talent and great potential.
Under their leadership, Heavenly Star Palace became one of the top powers in the Eastern Domain.
Thousands of years passed after that.
Li Tianxing's time has come and he is about to pass away.
When he was dying, he hoped to pass on the position of sect leader to the great elder.
That is, the eldest brother among the seven disciples.
But this incident made the seventh junior brother and the seventh elder extremely dissatisfied.
The seventh elder believed that he had contributed the most to the construction of the sect, and he was the one who should obtain the position of sect leader.
The two argued endlessly.
At this moment, Li Tianxing suddenly proposed to expel the seventh elder from the sect.
This shocked everyone and expressed their opposition!
It's a pity it's useless.
Li Tianxing is determined.
The seventh elder was extremely resentful about this matter.
Finally, he went to the dark restricted area and attracted the source of evil.
Some disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect who were infected with the evil spirit committed suicide, and some lost their minds and killed their companions.
What's more, some of them turned into terrifying creatures and wreaked havoc on the sect.
At that time, most of the forces that came to support various forces were lost in the Heavenly Star Sect.
In the end, it was a powerful human being from the Quasi-Emperor Realm who took action to eliminate the source of evil and seal the sect into a small world, thus resolving the disaster.
…
time flies.
About half an hour later.
Gu Cheng just finished digesting these contents.
He looked up at the coffin, with a strange look in his eyes.
"I see."
Heavenly Star Sect was a long-established Apex Level faction.
But thousands of years ago, after being eroded by the evil source, it became extremely decayed and finally fell to this day.
Just when Gu Cheng was sighing.
A vicissitudes of sound echoed out after countless years.
"After countless years."
"Finally someone found the ancient scroll and came here."
In front of Gu Cheng, on the cracked coffin, a faint figure in white slowly condensed.
He was dressed in rich clothes, and his face was kind and weathered.
"Senior Li."
Gu Cheng saluted respectfully.
Although the visitor did not announce his name, Gu Cheng had a strange feeling.
The person in front of me is Li Tianxing, the former master of Heavenly Star Palace.
"You must also know the secret of my Heavenly Star Palace."
Li Tianxing spoke slowly, his voice full of emotion.
Gu Cheng nodded.
After absorbing those memory fragments, he naturally knew a lot about the situation at that time.
However, he was a little curious.
Why did Li Tianxing expel the seventh elder from the sect?
Even if you don't want to give him the position of sect leader, you won't go to this extent.
At this time, Li Tianxing seemed to see what Gu Cheng was thinking and said:
"Among the seven disciples I brought, the seventh elder, Li Guanhai, has the most stupid qualifications and does not practice hard enough."
"But he is the most power-hungry of all people."
"Therefore, he failed to resist the temptation and embarked on the path of practicing evil arts."
"After I found out, I wanted to kill him, but thinking about the relationship between master and disciple, I just expelled him from the sect and told him to never come back."
"But I didn't expect that he was determined to take revenge. He didn't care about the lives of thousands of disciples in my Heavenly Star Palace. He went to the dark restricted area to attract the source of evil and destroyed my Heavenly Star Palace."
Even if it's just a thought.
There was still a hint of pain in Li Tianxing's eyes.
Apparently blaming himself because his indecision led to the tragedy at Heavenly Star Palace.
"Right now, I still have one unfinished business, so I left behind this ancient scroll and a spiritual thought. I hope someone can complete the unfinished business for me."
When Li Tianxing finished speaking, his expression showed a hint of concentration.
"I don't know what the senior's instructions are."
Gu Cheng's expression changed.
"The evil skills practiced by Seventh Elder Li Guanhai during his lifetime have been Great Accomplishment. He cultivated a Sword Intent seed deep in the forbidden area of my Heavenly Star Palace into an evil sword seed."
"At the same time, his remnant soul is also attached to the evil sword species."
"I hope someone can defeat Li Guanhai's remnant soul, completely purify the evil sword seed, and cut off the inheritance of evil skills!"
Li Tianxing's eyes were deep and his tone was firm.
Evil sword species?
This term seems familiar.
Gu Cheng's eyes flashed.
One of Zhang Qianfan's purple destiny is the evil sword species.
Could it be that there is some connection between the two?
