Looking carefully, there were a total of several squares in the open space. Each square was about three meters wide.
Nine square lattices were put together to form a square.
Hearing Fang Chen say the Nine Palaces Grid, Luo Hong and Luo Yong looked at Fang Chen in confusion.
"Brother Fang, what is the Nine Palaces Grid? Is it a Dao-level formation?" asked Luo Hong.
"Yeah, what is the Nine Palaces Grid?" asked Luo Yong.
They had never heard of the Nine Palaces Grid, so they didn't know what it was.
Fang Chen was also a bit surprised. There was actually a Nine Palaces Grid here.
Furthermore, upon closer inspection, he found that this Nine Palaces Grid was exactly the same as the one on Earth. The only difference was that the pattern on this Nine Palaces Grid was extremely strange.
"A puzzle."
Fang Chen ignored Luo Hong and Luo Yong and walked over to the Nine Palaces Grid.
He carefully observed the nine grids and found that there was an individual pattern in each grid, but it was not complete.
So Fang Chen guessed that this Nine Palaces Grid should be a puzzle.
"Let's give it a try."
Fang Chen began to put together the puzzle according to the Fang Chen on Earth.
At first, Fang Chen didn't know how to move the squares.
He tried releasing his soul to envelop the squares, and then using his mind to move them.
A miracle happened. The squares actually moved.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was overjoyed. He continued to move the squares.
It didn't take long for Fang Chen to piece out the original shape of the pattern.
At this time, Fang Chen looked over and found that the pattern inside the Nine Palaces Grid was actually a middle-aged martial artist. This martial artist was holding a longsword in his hand. He was wearing golden armor, and his eyes were staring into the distance.
"Brother Fang, what is this?" asked Luo Hong and Luo Yong hastily.
"This person should be the master of the Five Elements Secret Realm," whispered Fang Chen.
Crack.
When Fang Chen put the puzzle together, the Nine Palaces Grid suddenly broke out of the ground.
Under the gaze of Fang Chen and the other two, the Nine Palaces Grid instantly broke through the ground.
It didn't take long for it to surpass Fang Chen and the others. When the Nine Palaces Grid reached a height of about three meters, it instantly stopped.
From afar, it looked like a stone pillar, but it was a square stone pillar.
"Let's go up and have a look."
Fang Chen leaped and instantly leaped onto the Nine Palaces Grid.
Luo Hong and Luo Yong also stepped onto the Nine Palace Grid.
At the same time, a melodious voice entered their ears.
The martial artist who can break through this mechanism is fated with me.
"As expected." Luo Hong was overjoyed.
"Choose one of the squares yourselves. Whether or not you can obtain my inheritance will depend on your luck." The voice gradually weakened and finally disappeared.
Fang Chen and the other two looked at each other. Luo Hong chose the square of the long sword and sat down cross-legged.
Luo Yong pondered for a moment and chose the square of the Jin family.
In the end, Fang Chen chose the square of the middle-aged martial artist's head and sat down cross-legged.
When Fang Chen sat down, a vast aura immediately drilled into his body.
"This is …"
When Fang Chen sensed this aura, he was shocked.
This was because the aura that had entered his body had been completely absorbed by the remnant will of Forefather Bronze.
"What kind of aura is this?"
Fang Chen had never seen such an aura before and was very surprised.
Hiss.
After absorbing it for a full hour, this aura finally disappeared.
It was also at this moment that a laughter rang out in Fang Chen's mind.
Back then, Ancestor Bronze had entered the three-legged, two-eared cauldron, but later on, the cauldron had shattered and the remnant consciousness of the Ancestor had attached itself to Fang Chen's mind.
"Hahaha, I've finally woken up." Ancestor Bronze laughed heartily.
"Ancestor, you're awake." Fang Chen's face lit up with joy.
Ancestor Bronze hadn't woken up since the last time he fell into a deep sleep. Fang Chen didn't expect him to wake up after absorbing this aura.
"Yes, where is this place? Why is there so much Genesis Qi?" Ancestor Bronze asked happily.
"Ancestor, what is Genesis Qi?" Fang Chen didn't understand.
"Genesis Qi is the aura that I just absorbed.
After an almighty expert dies, although their spirit dissipates, what remains will turn into Genesis Qi and won't dissipate for a long time. Of course, this Genesis Qi is only useful for remnant consciousness like me and has no effect on you, "Ancestor Bronze explained.
Fang Chen could clearly feel that Ancestor Bronze's remnant consciousness seemed to have grown much stronger.
"Ancestor, the reason you woke up was because of the Genesis Qi?" Fang Chen asked.
"Of course. If it weren't for this Genesis Qi, I might have fallen into a deep sleep forever," Ancestor Bronze said.
After chatting with Fang Chen for a while, Ancestor Bronze asked.
"Kid, what is this place?"
"Ancestor, have you heard of the Sword Burial Prefecture?" Fang Chen asked.
Ancestor Bronze fell silent when he heard this.
After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "You said you came to the Sword Burial Prefecture?"
Fang Chen nodded. "I was killed by an expert from another region. Fortunately, the three-legged, two-eared cauldron saved me and brought me to the Sword Burial Prefecture."
Fang Chen briefly explained how he came to the Sword Burial Prefecture.
After hearing this, Ancestor Bronze sighed a little.
He didn't expect so many things to happen on the Ancient Sword Continent while he was in a deep sleep.
Fortunately, he had absorbed enough Genesis Qi to wake up.
"As expected of the legendary Sword Burial Prefecture. You've only been here for a short time, but your cultivation has already reached the fifth level of the True Martial stage." Ancestor Bronze couldn't help but sigh.
Ancestor Bronze was very excited to learn that Fang Chen was in the Sword Burial Prefecture.
One must know that Ancestor Bronze had stood at the peak of the Ancient Sword Continent when he was alive, but he had only heard of the Sword Burial Prefecture in legends.
He had never seen the Sword Burial Prefecture with his own eyes. He didn't expect to be able to come to the Sword Burial Prefecture after being dead for so many years.
"The Sword Burial Prefecture is a legendary holy land for sword cultivators. It's very suitable for cultivation," said Ancestor Bronze.
While Fang Chen was talking to Ancestor Bronze, Luo Yong and Luo Hong were also receiving the inheritance.
The two seemed to have benefited a lot, and their bodies exuded powerful auras.
Only Fang Chen didn't gain anything.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't gain anything. At least Ancestor Bronze had woken up.
Suddenly, Fang Chen thought of the bead he had obtained in the Jade Moon Icy Lake. He immediately took it out and asked, "Ancestor, do you recognize this bead?"
Ancestor Bronze checked the bead in Fang Chen's hand, and his face immediately turned pale with fright.
"Where did you find this bead?" Ancestor Bronze hurriedly asked.
"In the Jade Moon Icy Lake. I almost froze my soul to obtain it," said Fang Chen.
"You're a monster. You even obtained the Jade Moon Bead," Ancestor Bronze couldn't help but say.
"Ancestor, what's the origin of this bead?" asked Fang Chen.
"Do you know how the Jade Moon Icy Lake came about?" asked Ancestor Bronze.
Fang Chen shook his head.
Ancestor Bronze continued, "The reason the Jade Moon Icy Lake is called the world's ominous pool is because of this Jade Moon Bead."
"The temperature of the Jade Moon Frigid Water in the Jade Moon Frigid Pond is extremely high. Ordinary True Martial Realm warriors will be instantly frozen if they enter it. Even powerful True Martial Realm warriors will be in danger.
And that extreme cold energy comes from this bead.
To be more precise, this bead is the core of the Jade Moon Icy Lake, "said Ancestor Bronze.
He was a bit speechless. Just how had Fang Chen obtained this bead?
When the Jade Moon Icy Lake was operating normally, the Jade Moon Bead would constantly release extreme cold energy. The closer one got to the bead, the lower the temperature.
With Fang Chen's strength, his soul would have been frozen before he could even get close to the Jade Moon Bead.
However, not only had Fang Chen not died, but he had also obtained the Jade Moon Bead.
"What a monster," said Ancestor Bronze.
Of course, this was because Ancestor Bronze didn't know that Fang Chen had passed the twelfth-layer tribulation.
If he knew, who knew what Ancestor Bronze would think?
"Then what's the use of this Jade Moon Bead?" asked Fang Chen.
"With the Jade Moon Bead in hand, it's equivalent to carrying the Jade Moon Icy Lake with you.
As long as this Jade Moon Bead is placed in an ordinary pool, it will immediately become the terrifying Jade Moon Icy Lake, "said Ancestor Bronze.
Fang Chen was stunned. He stared at the Jade Moon Bead with a burning gaze. Clearly, he hadn't expected this bead to have such a powerful effect.
"Doesn't that mean he can cultivate in the Jade Moon Icy Lake whenever he wants?" Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but become excited.
Fang Chen had already experienced the benefits of the Jade Moon Icy Lake.
