Chapter 518: Great Monarch World (1/2)
Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting for more treasures to spurt out.
But, even after waiting for a while, the ground just swayed more and more violently, but no treasures could be seen. Even the amount of magma being spurt out became lesser and lesser, as if the magma underground was already exhausted. But, at the same time, ear piercing whistling sounds came from underground. Those sounds were similar to the sounds of flying swords when they flew at full speed.
On top of the mountain, everyone was very alert and tense.
This temporary calm was the prelude of even more violent storms. The loose cultivators and devils who had experienced many stormy waves understood this point. But, what they didn’t understand was, what kind of restriction was underground? What kind of treasures will be spurt out next? And what kind of danger would they meet?
The longer they waited, the more nervous they became.
Even these two unstoppable super experts, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, hand a hint of solemnness. Qing Tianhou was very eager, his eyes never left the magma inside the crater as if he was ready to jump straight into it to explore deep inside and collect all treasures. But after thinking again and again, he didn’t dare to take action.
When all was said and done, this was a grave of a Great Monarch, and deep inside, there were ancient restrictions laid down by Blue Waves Great Monarch before his death. Although his cultivation was heaven-defying and far surpassed ordinary Sage realm experts, Qing Tian also didn’t dare to be careless here.
Jiang Tunsheng standing on the opposite side of this crater also clearly had misgivings. Although the Emperor Bow in his hand was powerful, it was also not unequaled. Even he might be trapped if he encountered a truly heaven-defying restriction.
The two super experts didn’t dare to act rashly. Ye Chuan naturally will also not act rashly. He lowered the big bamboo hat he was wearing and restrained his energy fluctuation and aura, hiding behind a rock. Occasionally, some people would see his figure, but they just thought that he was a cowardly loose cultivator and ignored him.
Ye Chuan was staying still, but his divine sense was slowly spreading. First, he scanned the surrounding topography, then, counted the numbers of loose cultivators and devils here as well as their cultivation base. Finally, his divine sense passed Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng and entered the crater, exploring the mystery below the magma.
After the war in Bellowing Waves Island, the spirit of Ye Chuan had yet to completely recover, so he was very cautious. Slowly, the mystery below the magma appeared in his mind.
There was a huge cave underground. The Flame Mountain practically had a boiling hot magma inside. IN a sense, this Flame Mountain was a huge bottle, the crater was small bottle mouth, and inside the bottle, there was no water, rather boiling hot magma that could instantly melt flesh and bones.
If this bottle suddenly explodes, then what would happen?
Ye Chuan suddenly thought of a situation and shuddered. But, he continued to send his divine sense further down and he was all the more shocked.
The underground cave was filled with boiling hot magma, but there were sarcophagi hung on the walls all around. No one knew what stone was used to forge these sarcophagi, but even after existing in the boiling hot magma for millions of years, there was not a single damage. And after carefully sensing them, he discovered that many profound and mysterious ancient runes were carved on those sarcophagi. The deeper the location, the older the sarcophagi and lesser ancient runes were carved on them but they were also more profound and difficult to comprehend. It appeared as if these sarcophagi were not sealed in the same period of time, rather were sealed in different time periods. The runes on the sarcophagi were equivalent to some kind of marks, the lesser runes implied they were sealed in an earlier time period.
