Chapter 372: In the cave, divine light cuts the rock
"…Place this statue and gaze in all directions…A ruin that is shielded from the strong winds, a peak that is unmelted by ice and snow, a place where immortals hide in the clouds, the city of the people of Liyue…"
Jiang Yi solved the puzzles and mechanisms here based on the text and obtained the second fragment.
Then, go to the west of Qingce Village and look for an ancient building surrounded by bamboo forests and with many rock statues.
With the guidance of the orange-red stone, he found it quickly.
The same disc, the same words, but the one that impressed him the most and misled him,
"…The Emperor was subdued, but his body was not completely dead…"
Jiang Yi held his forehead speechlessly.
Next time, I have to find all the information before making a plan.
"Does anyone here offer apples to the statue of Yan Zun?" He looked in surprise at the row of tempting red apples on the altar in front of the statue of Yan Zun.
I also remembered the rock statue and the toad I saw when I started from the ancient anchor point on the riverside path near the vast water area south of Qingce Village and headed in this direction.
There is also a legend about Liyue's stone beasts and these rock statues.
Although most were sculpted by Liyue people to pray for good weather and stable rocks, some of the stone statues come from Liyue's more ancient past.
They were once immortal beasts that followed the Rock King Emperor in his conquests. After the Demon-God War ended, the immortal beasts lost the meaning of protecting mortals in war and went into seclusion.
But some fairy beasts miss the time when they followed the Lord of Rock and are eager to protect Liyue.
They are extraordinary living creatures, but they are still bound by their lifespans. Therefore, they petitioned the Rock King to transform their bodies into eternal rock to guard the land of Liyue.
The old residents of Liyue who are familiar with geography and hydrology are accustomed to the daily shifting of the stone beasts and changes in their postures.
Light sleepers camping at night often hear harmonies deeper than the sound of running water.
The people of Liyue believed that this was a stone beast waking up at night and looking again at this world that was gradually becoming unfamiliar.
Wander across the land of Liyue, and survey the rich lands you once protected.
Listen to the frogs and insects chirping in response to them, and the low growls of vicissitudes of life coming from their petrified throats.
Until now,
No one has ever witnessed what these stone beasts look like when they are in motion, not even Jiang Yi, a disciple of the immortal family.
But he did discover the phenomenon of stone beasts shifting, and he also felt the spirit inside the stone statues.
He picked up the candles and the finest incense.
"Please, seniors, protect me so that I can go deep into the earth safely and see the remains of the Chi."
Jiang Yi decided to follow the tradition of his hometown and worship the gods and pray for their protection.
After getting the fragments here, he has collected three pieces and can go to the last location of the "Qing Ce Secret Treasure".
Coming to the northernmost part of the westernmost side of Qingce Village, he looked at the roaring waterfall and walked into a cave along the water.
Judging from the information interpreted from the fragments, there must be a "treasure" inside that suppresses the remains of the Chi.
Come to the gate of the ruins, insert the three fragments, and the gate will open.
Jiang Yi continued to move forward, and a vast cave appeared in his eyes.
The cave was not dark. Huge orange-red conical stones, which were said to be condensed from the blood of Chi, were glowing, illuminating the lush ancient trees, the quiet waters, and the pillars of the ruins in the cave.
The most eye-catching thing is a suspended object in the center of the cave.
It was a sphere, like an enlarged version of the spherical suppressors embedded in the centers of those disks.
The hollow sphere emits golden light and is particularly mysterious.
There are also huge arc-shaped stones floating around the sphere. Some of the arc-shaped stones seem to have been originally one piece, and then broken and split apart. They surround the sphere and move slightly in the air.
"These stones are not floating stones, but they can float. Is it the power in the sphere?" Jiang Yi asked with curiosity. He had only seen floating stone buildings in Tevarin's Dragon's Nest Secret Realm.
This thing is a talisman, not a legendary treasure.
Jiang Yi continued walking. Before touching the ruins mechanism, he hesitated slightly and released the ruins guard in the outer cave.
This relic mechanism is also a talisman, representing the integrity of Qingce's secret treasure.
According to the game memory, there will be four relic guards and one relic hunter here.
If things develop like in reality...
He looked up at his little treasure and had no desire to attack the mechanism of the ruins.
Jiang Yi touched it carefully and suddenly felt the movement of the ground veins. Five huge monsters appeared and attacked the mechanism in the ruins without any explanation.
"Earth vein teleportation? Ruins locked?" Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with sword light, as if he could see through the earth.
The Ruin Guardians are the war machine of the fallen nation of Kanreya, a nation that prospered by developing and utilizing the energy of the earth veins.
"So this is how the Ruins Guards are deployed to various locations."
"Then why would they, who usually protect relics, destroy this secret treasure?"
"What criteria do they use to judge whether to protect or destroy the relics?"
"Besides, my little treasure is regarded as an enemy?"
Missiles roared and the ruins guards rotated.
Jiang Yi used his true Qi to protect the ruins mechanism and looked up at the battle.
The guards of the ruins were clearly cooperating with each other and could communicate with each other. His own one-eyed Xiaobao made mechanical sounds but seemed to get no response from the other party.
If the Ruins Guardian has a network and sequence, then the one-eyed little treasure given to him by the Ice Abyss Mage has been excluded from the network and sequence.
"It's really interesting..."
Jiang Yi's mind was racing as he watched One-Eyed Xiaobao being defeated and the sword box behind him exploded.
The shining divine light was like the sun, the golden light of the rock element and the blue light of the wind element suppressed the fiery red flames formed by countless artillery fire.
The sword fell into his hand and swung down.
A long moan echoed outside the cave, and the earth responded to its sound.
That was the long cry of the dragon whale that came from ancient times, wandering down from the ancient times and arriving in present-day Liyue.
Melodious, low, noble and majestic.
The terrifying sword force turned this place into a sea of swords, with endless waves rolling.
In the cave, an illusion of wind, rain, and thunder descended.
The towering mountains pressed down the flying Ruin Hunter and suppressed the four hostile Ruin Guards.
On the cyan-gold sword, a stone whale that is big enough to burst the spiritual world of mortals roams among the mountains constructed with golden mountain patterns. It controls the mountains and rocks, and fights the wind and waves.
The sea becomes the territory and the storm becomes the wings.
Just like Kunpeng flying into the sky.
Hundreds of fragments exploded, and the four relic guards and relic hunters were directly turned into mechanical scrap metal.
Jiang Yi turned around and reached out his hand. The chaos device and chaos circuit were put into his ring.
The moment a weapon is born, it often releases the power accrued over many days of forging and nurturing the sword in an instant, forming a terrifying force that cannot be ignored.
The golden quality light ripples, and the Four Winds Slashing Rock completes an important transformation.
It is five stars.
His name is Shenhui.
