Chapter 195 There may be living people
A massive stone door slowly opened, revealing a passageway to an unknown world. As they stepped inside, they felt as if their feet were suspended in mid-air, as if they were walking on clouds. On either side of the passage, the walls shimmered with a faint light, reflecting eerie faces that sent a chill down their spines.
"Don't panic, this is the normal condition leading to the second floor." The queen's voice sounded in everyone's ears, her voice calm.
Li Qiankun, who was walking at the front of the group, secretly guessed that the scale of Xu Fu's tomb must be quite large. Treasures like the Pavilion of Heaven would never be left out in the open. He had to be cautious.
Just then, Xiaohong and Quyin hurried over.
Seeing the open cave door and the people inside, they were filled with surprise. "What's going on? How did you find the entrance?" Qu Yin asked curiously, her eyes revealing a hint of wit and cunning.
Xiaohong held a long sword in her hand, ready to fight at any time.
The queen explained with a smile, "We found this entrance according to the instructions on the map. Now, we are heading to the second floor of the Pavilion of Heaven." Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise, and a huge nine-headed snake rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards everyone.
"Oh no! This is the tomb's guardian—the Nine Infants!" the queen exclaimed. There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, but more of a warning to everyone. The Nine Infants was enormous and incredibly powerful. Its bloody mouth yawned, revealing sharp fangs, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce glint.
Seeing this, everyone drew their weapons and prepared to fight.
However, the Nine Infants' power was so immense that no one could resist it for a moment. It swung its massive body and charged through the passage, forcing everyone to struggle against it.
At this moment, Li Qiankun stepped forward, shouting, "Everyone, get out of the way!" He flashed and charged directly at Jiuying. His figure weaved through the passage, each strike precise and powerful. As he fought, he observed Jiuying's attack patterns, trying to find its flaws.
After a period of fierce fighting, Li Qiankun gradually figured out Jiuying's attack pattern.
He seized an opportunity, jumped up suddenly, and smashed the black ruler in his hand directly towards Jiuying's seven-inch point.
With a scream, Jiuying's huge body fell down with a loud bang, shaking the entire passage.
"Great!!" Everyone cheered and looked at Li Qiankun.
The queen also came forward, her eyes wandering over Li Qiankun, and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Li Qiankun?"
Li Qiankun smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
However, at this moment, Jiuying suddenly roared and climbed up from the ground, with a glint of anger in its eyes. It turned out that it was not really defeated, but was only temporarily knocked unconscious by Li Qiankun's heavy blow.
Seeing this, Xiaohong swung her sword and rushed towards Jiuying without hesitation.
However, Qu Yin shouted worriedly, "Xiao Hong, be careful! Don't be careless!"
But Xiaohong was already in the mood for killing and was not willing to listen to Qu Yin's advice.
She brandished her long sword and engaged in a fierce battle with Jiuying. Although Xiaohong was powerful, Jiuying was no pushover either. It wielded its massive body and engaged in a fierce battle with Xiaohong.
After a fierce battle, Xiaohong, though slightly wounded, ultimately slew Jiuying. Triumphantly sheathing her sword, she said to Quyin, "See, I told you, Wang Ba's power is unmatched!"
Qu Yin shook her head helplessly, but she knew better than anyone that if Li Qiankun had not seriously injured Jiuying first, Xiaohong would never have been able to win.
Looking at Xiaohong, his eyes were filled with both relief and worry. He was relieved that Xiaohong was indeed strong, but worried that she was too impulsive and could easily fall into danger.
The queen and her companions passed through a long tunnel and finally arrived at the entrance to the second floor. Before them lay a vast open space, with a massive stone tablet standing in the center. The front of the tablet was covered in inscriptions and images, as if recording some mysterious history or legend.
The queen excitedly stepped forward and stroked the inscription on the stone tablet. Her eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered some important secret. "This is the legendary Ascension Chart!" she exclaimed. "It records our ancestors' path to ascension and also holds the secret to a higher realm!"
Everyone gathered around, looking at the words and images on the stone tablet. Their hearts were filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if they had seen hope leading to a higher realm. Li Qiankun also walked forward and carefully studied the contents of the stone tablet.
Stone tablets stand tall, engraved with mysterious patterns and ancient characters, as if telling stories of forgotten history.
Li Qiankun stood in front of a stone tablet, staring closely at every detail on the tablet, trying to decipher the mystery hidden in it.
"Qian Kun, have you figured anything out? What secrets does this Ascension Diagram hold?" the Queen anxiously asked, her voice tinged with anticipation and nervousness. Dressed in gorgeous attire and a golden crown, the Queen exuded a noble and majestic demeanor, her eyes revealing a yearning and curiosity for the unknown.
Li Qiankun took a deep breath and said slowly, "This stone tablet records the life stories of those who ascended and the scenes of their ascension. Look, it depicts the magnificent scene of the first generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain ascending to heaven. He rode on the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, soaring into the sky with a majestic and imposing manner."
The Queen's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Tianshi? Could it be that this Ascension Diagram is deeply connected to Longhu Mountain?"
Li Qiankun nodded, his eyes solemn. "Indeed, the Heavenly Master once attained enlightenment here, receiving revelations from the White Tiger and Azure Dragon, and thus founded the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple. This Ascension Diagram stele is not only a record of history, but may also contain secrets leading to a higher realm."
Zhang Lingyu exclaimed at the side: "I never thought that we could actually see the old Taoist priest's ascension. This is simply a legendary scene!" His face was full of disbelief, and his eyes flashed with awe and yearning for the ancient legend.
Li Qiankun's brow furrowed, as if he were lost in thought. "The records on this Ascension Diagram do align with the legend. But there's one thing I can't understand: why would his Ascension Diagram appear here, hundreds of years after the Qin Empire?"
Zhang Lingyu fell into deep thought upon hearing this. "Yes, this is indeed somewhat unreasonable. Could it be that these stone tablets were deliberately collected here by later generations?"
Li Qiankun nodded, a glint in his eyes: "It's very likely. Moreover, I suspect that there may be living people on this ship, or they are no longer ordinary people."
The Queen was shocked when she heard this: "Alive? Are you saying there are still people alive on this ship?"
Li Qiankun shook his head. "No, I mean, someone might have somehow transcended the boundaries of life and death and become an extraordinary being. These stone tablets might be the traces they left behind."
Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath and asked, "So what should we do now?"
Li Qiankun pondered for a moment and said slowly, "To unlock the secrets of the stone tablets, you need to use your own consciousness to examine them. I believe that the reason these stone tablets appear here is to wait for the right people to unlock their secrets. Everyone should go and search for their own opportunities."
After saying this, he sat cross-legged, facing the stone tablet of the old Taoist priest at Mount Longhu, and began to close his eyes and meditate. Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu also followed Li Qiankun's example, sitting cross-legged in front of a stone tablet and beginning his own practice and meditation.
