The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 327
Chapter 327 Ancient God’s Tower (13)
Yin Qianyu said, “Perhaps because you are not from Ancient Gods Clan, you were detected by this stone, so you self-detonated.”
“That’s why.” Li Qing suddenly understood. This expert from Ancient Gods Clan obviously wanted the youngsters of his race to accept his legacy, but he didn’t expect that after so many years, Ancient Gods Clan had long since perished.
“Take this stone back and study it.” Li Qing put this God Testing Stone into his interspatial ring. This item didn’t seem to be an ordinary item. Perhaps it could be used in the future.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
He gently pushed the stone door open. The space inside was very large, at least several hundred feet tall. It looked like it had emptied the entire mountain.
In the middle of the stone room, there was a huge sarcophagus. It was estimated to be thirty zhang tall and about ten zhang long. There were countless Ancient Gods Clan runes and patterns carved on it, filled with mysterious light.
“The owner of this tomb should be lying inside.” Li Qing looked at the huge sarcophagus and couldn’t help but sigh, “According to the size of this sarcophagus, the owner of this stone room should be around ten zhang tall. Ancient Gods Clan’s body is really too big, with an average height of around thirty zhang. As expected, his reputation is well-deserved!”
“Legend has it that the stronger a person in Ancient Gods Clan is, the bigger their body will be,” Yin Qianyu said. “A Ancient Gods Clan expert who is ten feet tall can already be considered a formidable figure in Ancient Gods Clan.”
Li Qing asked curiously, “This usually happens to the demon race. The stronger the demon race is, the bigger its body will be. I didn’t expect Ancient Gods Clan to do the same. Are they humans or not? Could they be demons?”
Yin Qianyu’s eyes flashed and she shook her head, “I don’t know. Ancient Gods Clan’s body is very similar to humans, except that they are much bigger. Their origins have always been a mystery.”
Li Qing did not dwell on this question anymore. He scanned the surroundings of the tomb and discovered that apart from the sarcophagus, there was only one thing left on the high stone platform beside him.
He walked closer and saw that there was a spatial ring, two books, a golden saber and five blood red stones on the stone platform.
Li Qing picked up the spatial ring and swept his divine sense over it. He discovered that there were spirit stones and some treasures inside. After taking an inventory, there were more than a hundred thousand spirit stones inside, another windfall!
One of the two books had the Ancient God’s Saber Technique written on it, while the other had no cover. Opening it, it turned out to be the life story of this Ancient Gods Clan expert and his traveling experience.
The golden saber was engraved with the patterns of all kinds of exotic beasts. The golden light was restrained, simple and domineering. It was actually a spirit artifact!
Obviously, this was the weapon that Ancient Gods Clan used in his life. Li Qing couldn’t help but be delighted. This saber was exactly what he needed.
Finally, he encountered a Spirit Weapon grade treasured saber!
Moreover, the domineering aura of this saber was also in line with his aesthetic taste. He immediately picked up the golden saber and carefully observed it. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Good saber!”
He carefully stroked the blade with his palm, feeling the lines on it. He couldn’t let go of it.
“In the future, I’ll call you the Ancient God Golden Saber!” Li Qing muttered to himself in a low voice.
The Heavenly Saber could not be revealed in front of others, so he also needed a saber as a standing weapon. Otherwise, he would always face his enemies empty-handed.
Although the Ancient God Golden Saber was a spirit artifact and was extremely precious, it was inevitable that someone would covet it. However, at least Li Qing was qualified to use it. Most people would not offend a young man with limitless potential like Li Qing because of this spirit artifact precious saber.
In fact, geniuses like them on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings used spirit artifacts quite often. Chang Wudi had several spirit artifacts that he doted on, and Wind Lightning Swordsmen even had Wind Lightning Twin Swords.
Although spirit artifacts were precious and rare in this world, they were nothing to these Sacred Land sects.
As for the remaining five blood-red stones, they flickered with a demonic blood color and emitted an intoxicating light. They were simply too beautiful! It was much more beautiful than the most beautiful ruby in the world!
“So beautiful!” Yin Qianyu couldn’t help but be absent-minded.
“Could this be the Ancient God Blood Crystal?” Li Qing’s pupils shrank as he thought of a possibility.
“That’s right, even the Ancient God Blood Crystal. I didn’t expect you to recognize this item.” Yin Qianyu smiled and said, “This thing is useless to you anyway. Why don’t you give it to me?”
“Are you kidding me? Even if it’s useless, it won’t be yours.” Li Qing looked at her coldly.
Yin Qianyu said coquettishly, “How can you treat me like this? We discovered this together. It should be mine. I only want these useless Ancient God Blood Crystals. You can’t use them anyway.”
“Looking at how much you care about this Ancient God Blood Crystal, do you know the true usage of the Ancient God Blood Crystal?” Li Qing’s gaze was filled with scrutiny.
“I just feel that this thing is very beautiful. I just want to take it back as an ornament.” Yin Qianyu hurriedly denied, “No one has been able to solve the secret of the ancient god blood crystal for so many years. How could I know?”
It was very difficult for Li Qing to judge the truth of her words from her expression. However, no matter how clever she was, it was impossible for him to give it to her.
“Don’t even think about the things here. Don’t forget that you are my prisoner. Do you still want to share the treasures? There are no doors!” Li Qing sneered, “Not to mention, to be exact, I discovered this place by myself. What does it have to do with you?”
If it weren’t for his divine sense, ordinary people wouldn’t have discovered the secret here. It was indeed him who discovered it.
“Hey, why are you like this? You don’t have any manners at all.” Yin Qianyu shouted loudly.
“Being a prisoner is the first time you’ve done such an arrogant thing.” Li Qing coldly snorted and put the five Ancient God Blood Crystals into his spatial ring.
Although he didn’t know what use this Ancient God’s Blood Crystal was, he still remembered that the people of Origin Stone City had asked Li Qing to collect the Ancient God’s Blood Crystal.
Could it be that they knew how to use the Ancient God’s Blood Crystal? At that time, he would sneak into Primeval Stone City to investigate.
He had already fallen out with the people of Primeval Stone City. For the sake of the Primordial Emperor’s secret technique, there was no possibility of mediation between the two sides. Of course, he would not hand over these ancient god blood crystals to Primordial Stone City.
“Hey, you took all the treasures, and I came back empty-handed? Isn’t that too unkind?” Yin Qianyu was unwilling.
Li Qing took out a spirit stone and threw it to Yin Qianyu. Afterwards, he took away all the treasures on the stone platform.
Yin Qianyu stared blankly at the spirit stone in her hand and cursed, “Shameless!”
Li Qing circled around the tomb room. Apart from some strange patterns on the wall, there was nothing else.
“Are you planning to open this sarcophagus?” Yin Qianyu asked.
“I can’t open it. I’ve already obtained so many treasures. Why should I open the sarcophagus to disturb the deceased’s long sleep?” Li Qing shook his head.
“But there might be even more precious treasures in the sarcophagus.” Yin Qianyu’s tone was seductive.
“If you want it, then open the coffin yourself and don’t pull me in.” Li Qing remained unmoved.
“My entire True Essence is sealed. I can’t open it even if I want to. Unless you unseal me first!”
“Unlock the seal? You know this is impossible.” Li Qing walked out.
He had already obtained so many treasures, so he did not intend to stay any longer. Speaking of which, obtaining the legacy of this Void Realm Adept this time could be considered a very generous harvest. It could be said that this trip was well worth it. Even if he didn’t do anything in the next few days, he would still be able to earn a good profit.
Not long after they left, the entire tomb suddenly trembled.
Rumble!
The earth was shaking, the stone walls were cracking, and rubble was falling down one after another.
“Damn, this tomb is going to collapse!” Yin Qianyu’s expression changed.
“Let’s go!” Li Qing grabbed Yin Qianyu and quickly fled.
The entire tomb was about to collapse, and the formation was about to collapse as well. Countless runes lit up, releasing terrifying energy, blasting the stone room to pieces.
As Li Qing passed by the silver pool, his heart suddenly stirred. This pool seemed to be ready for collection.
Time is of the essence. Li Qing threw out a stream of True Essence and blinded Yin Qianyu’s eyes. Then, he secretly used the Yin Yang two gas bottles to take away the small silver pond.
Yin Qianyu could only feel a burst of purple light covering her eyes. She did not know what had happened. The surrounding was covered in falling rocks. There was a rumbling sound that was so messy that it was difficult to hear clearly.
By the time she regained her sight, the two of them had already left the cave entrance.
“Why did you just block my line of sight?” Yin Qianyu asked.
“Nothing. It’s just to protect your eyes from injury.” Li Qing didn’t say much and walked outside.
The two of them left the valley.
“Let’s go hunt down the Monster King and obtain the inner core so that we can reach the fifth floor.”
To reach the fifth floor, one needed to hunt down rank eight Monster Kings. This was extremely difficult. Even if Li Qing activated the Yuan Emperor Secret Technique, he might not be able to kill rank eight Monster Kings.
After all, this level of Monster King’s defense was too powerful. The demons were usually known for their strong physical bodies. Even if Li Qing could defeat them, it would still be difficult to kill them. Even if he used some sneak attacks, it would still be very difficult to achieve them.
Of course, if he were to use the Heavenly Saber, it would be another matter.
“This mission is really difficult. I’m afraid there won’t be many people who can reach the fifth floor.” Yin Qianyu said.
“It is indeed difficult. It is not easy for me to accomplish it. Perhaps those powerful figures will have some chances to launch a sneak attack with spirit artifacts.” Li Qing said.
“Since it’s so difficult, what should I do? Will you help me get an Eighth Grade Monster King inner core?” Yin Qianyu asked.
“That’s right! I’ll help you!”
“Why don’t you just let me go? This way, there’s no need to be so troublesome.” Yin Qianyu rolled her eyes.
“What? You want to escape? Do you think it’s possible?” Li Qing smiled faintly.
“Humph! Stingy!” Yin Qianyu was like a dejected ball.
“Pretend to be true!” Li Qing mocked, turned around and left.
Looking at Li Qing’s departing figure, Yin Qianyu’s expression darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, “How unreasonable! This brat is actually so smart! My beauty trap has never worked! Am I not pretty enough?”
