"Ancient Haven Palace?"
When those three words left Jiu You's mouth, Mu Chen's body trembled as he looked at the grey-robed silhouette with shock in his eyes. He never expected that this person would be someone from the legendary and mysterious Ancient Haven Palace!
This was the first time that he had come to the Greatlaw Continent and learnt of the existence of the mysterious Ancient Haven Palace!
"He's someone from the Ancient Haven Palace?
Could it be that I've mistaken him for someone else? "
Mu Chen's throat trembled as he stared at the grey-robed silhouette and asked in disbelief. Evidently, he couldn't believe that he would obtain the news that he had been yearning for in such a short period of time.
ybdu。
The Spiritual Rune on his forehead is unique to the Ancient Haven Palace, and it's naturally formed from cultivating the Divine Art of the Ancient Haven Palace. It's definitely not something that was carved by an external object. "
Jiu You firmly said. She was, after all, from the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, so she knew many secrets of the ancient times. Thus, she had some understanding of the Ancient Haven Palace.
Mu Chen felt heavily relieved as he looked at the grey-robed silhouette. At this moment, the sinister expression on the latter's face, as well as the crimson black in his eyes, had already disappeared. His shriveled face had also started to turn gentle.
Boom!
Boom!
When the crimson black in the grey-robed silhouette's eyes disappeared, the innumerable plaques that revolved around him started to explode and turned into sparkles of light.
All of them dissipated into thin air.
As the countless specks of light dissipated, one could vaguely see innumerable illusory figures that couldn't be clearly seen.
But at this moment, they turned around and slightly bowed towards Mu Chen, as if they were thanking him for placing their corpses in a good place.
After those silhouettes bowed, they turned into sparkles of light and disappeared from this world.
Mu Chen also sighed with a complicated expression. He cupped his fists and bowed towards the place where the light figures disappeared, thanking them for their final moments.
He had helped him once, even though he had placed their remains there out of pity and respect.
"Looks like you've stumbled upon it by accident."
When Nine Nether found out about Mu Chen's actions, her expression changed.
She could not help but let out a sigh. She rejoiced as she said, "It's all thanks to you gathering their shattered remains that they managed to retain their last strand of will. They should have sensed the demonic aura earlier.
Only then did he activate the last of his will.
After that, we can work together to expel the demonic energy from his body. "
Mu Chen laughed bitterly. Clearly, he had not expected that his casual actions during this period of time would actually leave behind such a cause and effect. If it was not for the wills of these fallen experts, he and Jiu You would probably have to flee with injuries.
"How is he now?
Is he still alive? "Mu Chen looked at the grey-robed silhouette and couldn't help asking.
If the latter was truly someone from the Ancient Haven Palace, then he would definitely know a lot of information about the Ancient Haven Palace.
"Haha.
I have already died tens of thousands of years ago. The demonic aura entered my body and sealed my will. Although I managed to preserve my body, it's only on the surface. Now that the demonic aura has dissipated, my body will soon be reduced to ashes. "
A hoarse voice suddenly resounded. In the depths of that voice, there seemed to be a heavy burden being lifted off his shoulders.
Mu Chen and Jiu You were startled. Only at this moment did they realise that the grey-robed silhouette's eyes had regained their lustre. However, anyone could tell that it was only the final radiance of a setting sun.
At this moment, the grey-robed silhouette had clearly recovered his consciousness. He looked at the two of them and gave a deep bow. "Thank you for helping me resolve the demonic aura."
Mu Chen and Jiu You immediately returned the greeting. "Senior is too polite. Senior has died while protecting the Great Thousand World, and us juniors have received your shadow. So it's our duty to help you."
The grey-robed silhouette gently smiled as he looked at the two of them. "My body won't be able to last for long, so I'm unable to repay the two of you. If there's anything that you guys want to know, feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything."
He could clearly tell that Mu Chen and Jiu You were extremely interested in his identity as a member of the Ancient Haven Palace.
Mu Chen's face lit up as he cupped his fists. "Senior, are you from the Ancient Haven Palace?"
"I'm the head disciple of the Fourth Hall Master of the Ancient Haven Palace, Xiao Qingyun."
The grey-robed silhouette lightly smiled. When he spoke about the Ancient Haven Palace, his shrivelled face flashed with pride. Clearly, this was an identity that he was proud of.
"Fourth Hall Master?" Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a look. Clearly, they were unfamiliar with this name.
"Back then, my Ancient Haven Palace had a total of seven halls, each with a Hall Master. Above the seven Hall Masters was the Palace Master."
Seeing the confusion on the two of their faces, Xiao Qingyun gently knitted his brows with a smear of worry flashing in his eyes. He hesitated before he softly said, "I wonder, in the Great Thousand World, our Ancient Haven Palace …"
Mu Chen bitterly smiled. "Senior, the Ancient Haven Palace no longer exists in the Great Thousand World."
Xiao Qingyun's expression froze for a brief moment. He remained silent for a long time before his essence, aura and spirit seemed to have dissipated as he muttered, "Even my Ancient Haven Palace couldn't make it through the Great Tribulation of the World …"
"Senior, it's said that the Ancient Haven Palace is hidden in the depths of the Greatlaw Continent. Ordinary people can't find it, but there's something that I need in the Ancient Haven Palace. So I want to enter. I wonder if Senior can help me?" Mu Chen carefully said as he looked at Xiao Qingyun with expectation in his eyes.
Xiao Qingyun was briefly stunned before he bitterly smiled. "I'm sorry, it must be the Palace Master's doing to hide the Ancient Haven Palace. His abilities are extraordinary, and if he wanted to hide it, I'm afraid that even I wouldn't know how to find the Ancient Haven Palace.
“
Hearing his words, Mu Chen's heart instantly turned cold. He initially thought that Xiao Qingyun would be able to provide him with accurate information, but who could have expected that Xiao Qingyun knew even less than him?
Seeing Mu Chen's expression, Xiao Qingyun seemed a little awkward as he coughed, "But you don't have to be anxious. Although I don't know where the Ancient Haven Palace is, I believe that my teacher, the Fourth Palace Master, should know.
“
"Fourth Palace Master?
Mu Chen felt a headache. Such an ancient figure should have already fallen by now. If he were to search for it, it would be more practical to search for the Ancient Haven Palace in the Greatlaw Continent.
"The Palace Master has also fallen in this battlefield. With his ability, even if he has fallen, there should be a remnant of his will. If you guys can find it, you should be able to obtain information about the Ancient Haven Palace." Xiao Qingyun gently sighed.
Mu Chen was stunned as he exchanged a glance with Jiu You. The Fourth Palace Master of the Ancient Haven Palace should be an Earth Sovereign Realm. If that's the case, then his will should be left in an Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. But even Mandala wasn't confident in finding the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury that was concealed by the Spiritual Array in the Fallen Battlefield. So how could they achieve it with their strength?
Xiao Qingyun smiled towards the two of them as he fumbled around in his bosom, before retrieving a black compass. On the surface of the compass, there seemed to be bizarre runes that were vaguely flickering.
"Although I have been a walking corpse for countless years, I still know about the changes in this battlefield. This Spiritual Compass is an item of my Ancient Haven Palace, and it can search for the bizarre energy in this battlefield. Because this Spiritual Compass originally belonged to the Palace Master, there is a trace of his imprint in it. So when you guys approach the location of the Palace Master's death, it will give you some guidance."
“
Mu Chen's eyes lit up as he received the black compass. His heartbeat uncontrollably increased because he knew what the bizarre energy in this battlefield that Xiao Qingyun was talking about was. It was the Fallen Origin Aura that they needed the most right now!
That also meant that as long as they possessed this compass, they would be able to know the location of the ruins. It would be a great help to them in seizing the Fallen Origin Aura and refining the Fallen Origin Pellets.
Not to mention that this compass could even guide them to the location of the Ancient Haven Palace, the location of the Fourth Palace Master's death. That was a genuine Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. If they could find it, it would definitely allow their Great Heaven Domain to seize the initiative!
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a look with unconcealable joy in their eyes. Xiao Qingyun had truly given them a great gift!
"This is also the last bit of help that I can give you guys."
Xiao Qingyun smiled towards the two of them as his body gradually emitted a lustre. His entire body was gradually collapsing. Clearly, he had already reached his limits.
Mu Chen and Jiu You had solemn expressions as they cupped their hands towards Xiao Qingyun. Towards this expert that had fallen to protect the Great Thousand World, they felt respect from the bottom of their hearts.
"Before my will completely dissipates, let my body exhaust the last bit of strength."
“
Xiao Qingyun lightly smiled as boundless Fallen Origin Aura gushed out from his body in every direction, turning into Fallen Origin Pellets that descended like a current that hovered around Mu Chen and Jiu You.
Mu Chen and Jiu You were a little shocked as they looked at the current. Roughly looking at the Fallen Origin Pellets, it had actually reached a terrifying amount of over 200, which was practically more than the entire Grade-3 Ruin.
When the last Fallen Origin Aura was formed into Fallen Origin Pellets, Xiao Qingyun's body had finally turned into sparkles of light and dissipated. Only his liberated voice resounded in the ears of Mu Chen and Jiu You for a long time.
"Many thanks to the two of you for allowing me to wake up at the final moment. However, the world is unpredictable and the great calamity has not ended. In the future, perhaps the two of you will have to protect this world."
“
"I hope that the world will last forever."
"… To be continued …"
