Ch 488 - Opening the Demon Emperor Medicine Garden
…
…
…
These Destruction powerhouse houses gradually gathered together around the stone platform. Some of them used their perception to probe the stone platform, and there were even some who used their hands to examine it, as well, hoping that they would be able to trigger some sort of switch to a secret room or other lucky chance. There were even some who suspected that this array formation was related to the Demon Emperor medicinal garden.
However, no matter what they did, the stone platform array formation did not give a response.
Those who saw could not help but turn to Xuan Wuji. However, they saw that Xuan Wuji had already withdrawn his senses and had passed through the corridor as if he had no intention of staying here.
These people pondered over this stone platform a little longer and finally gave up.
Perhaps Xuan Wuji was really just curious about this stone platform, and there was nothing special about it. After all, it was best for them to stay together with Xuan Wuji for fear that they would lose the medicine garden.
Thinking like this, the few second stage Life Destruction old men first left.
But at this moment, Lin Ming touched the stone platform, his hands covering the marks on it. Many of these Life Destroying lords constantly touched him to sense things, so this kind of small act did not arouse anyone's suspicions.
Lin Ming was clearly aware that this stone platform was actually an ancient transmission array.
The Imperial Demon God Palace occupied various lands that were over a hundred miles long. There are many paths inside, and trying to get away from the inside is very troublesome. Therefore, within the Demon Imperial Palace, there were four or five transmission array points like this.
Lin Ming remembered these two transmission array points, and the one he remembered was this one.
'Xuan Wuji most likely knew about this transmission array from the Demon Emperor's letter. It was very likely that he even knew how to activate this transmission array. The reason he investigated this array a moment ago was likely to determine whether he would be able to use it or not. He was thinking of using this transmission array to go alone after the treasure hunt was over. '
After everyone had broken through the defensive barrier of the Imperial God Demon Palace and entered, the defensive barrier was able to repair itself, completely sealing everyone within. If anyone wanted to leave, they would have to spend another four or five days breaking through the barrier again. Moreover, by going back and forth within the Demon God Imperial Palace, it might take seven or eight days longer.
If Xuan Wuji grabbed the treasure, he would be able to use this transmission array to leave. As for everyone else, they would be stranded inside the Demon God Imperial Palace, unable to compete for the treasures he possessed.
It's a well thought out plan.
Thinking of this, Lin Ming's lips curved up with a hint of a demonic smile. After entering the Demon God Imperial Palace, nothing had gone well for him. As for obtaining the Nirvana Dragon Root, the hope for it was slim enough to send one into despair. Lin Ming no longer entertained the idea of obtaining lucky chances. Instead, it would be good enough if he could ruin Xuan Wuji's day.
With the help of the memories of the Demon Emperor as well as the understanding he had of the ancient array formation, Lin Ming quickly understood the structure of this transmission array as well as the specific array symbol sequence to begin with.
Inside the Imperial Palace, each transmission array had a set of special symbol arrays that needed to be ordered to start the transmission array. If the array symbols are not sequential, then the transmission array will not be active.
Lin Ming looked as if he was fumbling aimlessly with the ancient array, but both of his hands were actually repeatedly rubbing against the row of three symbols, silently changing their order.
The only way Xuan Wuji would be able to decipher this new array symbol order was if he were equally skilled in the concept of ancient transmission arrays like Lin Ming.
'I don't know when, but if Xuan Wuji really plans on using this transmission array to leave, I wonder what kind of expression he will have. 'Thinking of this, Lin Ming's heart bubbled with anticipation.
After modifying some of the array symbols, Lin Ming calmly pulled his hand back. Even Mu Yuhuang, who was standing near Lin Ming, was unsuspecting when he saw Lin Ming touch the stone platform. He simply smiled and said, “Forget Lin Ming, this stone platform is no ordinary platform. Even if there was some sort of sealed lucky chance inside, it was not something we could start with just touching it. Let's walk. ”
"Yes, Ancestor Sir. '' Lin Ming said casually as he followed Mu Yuhuang away.
……………. .
The further they walked, the harder it was to move forward.
Everyone is also becoming more cautious.
In addition to the dangerous Toxic Grey Frog puppets, there were also many deadly mazes and traps. When they arrived at the corridor, a gray projectile shot out. Nanyun Wang managed to dodge, but directly pierced through the chest of an old man behind him. Immediately, a huge hole the size of a man's head appeared on his chest, and a charred scent filled the air.
Without any chance to speak, the old man instantly died on the spot.
When everyone saw this, the atmosphere became even more gloomy. Lin Ming also inhaled a breath of cold air. He knew that there were traps in this part of the Imperial Palace, but he was unclear about most of them. If he entered the Demon God Royal Palace alone, then he would really die here.
At this moment, they were only a few miles away from the Demon Emperor's medicinal garden. The closer they got, the slower their steps were. Xuan Wuji, Abbott Whitebrow, and Nanyun Wang took the lead, unleashing all of their senses and keeping their defenses at the highest level.
Finally, the group tentatively passed through the final hall. They came to a rather dim staircase and after passing another corner, they found a large stone gate.
The stone gate was 100 feet tall and looked extremely heavy and thick. On top of the stone gate, there was a huge eye carved in there. Around the eyes, there were many scattered fire-shaped patterns. It looked like an extremely strange and mysterious totem.
When Abbas Whitebrow and Nanyun Wang saw this stone gate, they gathered next to Xuan Wuji.
After pouring so much effort and paying such a huge price, he finally made it to the Demon Emperor medicinal garden!
At this moment, even the calm Xuan Wuji could not help but worry about what was about to happen. Regarding the spells and traps laid in the Demon Emperor's medicinal garden, the Demon Emperor's jade slip did not record enough details.
Only an approximate type of spell was described on the jade slip, without any precise details or explanation. Not only that, but the descriptions of array formations used terminology from tens of thousands of years ago, and they had little to do with Xuan Wuji's current understanding of array formations. He was completely unable to comprehend the complex array that was within.
These past few years, Xuan Wuji had exerted all his efforts and gathered all sorts of things together in a thin patch of ideas. He had read all kinds of ancient texts, yet he had only found one way that could be done to break through the array formations within them. But he did not know whether this method would work or not.
Xuan Wuji took a deep breath, and pushed at the stone gate. There was no spell on this stone gate; everything would be inside the medicine garden.
With a rumbling sound, a 100 foot tall stone gate swung open.
When the stone gate opened, everyone's vision was suddenly filled with light, as if a dazzling sunrise had risen in a dark corridor. When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they were shocked.
Behind the stone gate, there were no clear blue stone paths, no stone platforms, no trap puppets. Instead, it was a land of grasslands and fairy-like forests that seemed to come from a dream. And the strangest thing of all was that this meadow was wrapped in fluttering white snow, as if a blanket of white silk had fallen on the ground. In this cold weather, an extremely beautiful layer of ice filled the world; it was extremely beautiful.
And in the middle of this meadow, there was a winding river. This river did not freeze, but it still emitted a cold energy. The cold river in this amazing snow country was incredible and it was difficult for one to immediately accept that he would appear in this great palace. It is hard to accept such a strong visual difference.
Xuan Wuji was the first to step into this snowy world. The other Life Destroying old man behind him hesitated, and then began to follow after.
As Lin Ming looked at this image of the Demon Emperor medicinal garden, he was not too surprised. He had some faint memories of this from the memories of the Demon Emperor.
After entering this frozen wonderland, Lin Ming immediately felt a chill shiver in the air. The Demon Emperor had planted the Nirvana Dragon Root in his medicine garden, and the Nirvana Dragon root was a cold attribute treasure. If he was right, then after the Nirvana Dragon Root grew here, it began to gather cold energy around him, causing this mini ice world.
This cold air seemed to be able to drill into his bones. It wasn't much for these Life Destruction old men, but Lin Ming had no choice but to twist his true essence to protect his body. This was the only way he could prevent cold air from entering his body.
At this moment, Lin Ming felt a warm current enter his body. When he turned to look, he saw that Mu Yuhuang was injecting his fire attribute true essence into him.
"Lin Ming, stay behind me. Once we enter the medicine garden, don't get too close to avoid the true essence wave of the battle that might ensue. ”
“Mm, I understand. '' Lin Ming nodded as he felt Mu Yuhuang's worry towards him. He was also well aware that if these Life Destroying old men really decided to fight each other, then a mere shockwave of true essence could kill him.
……………
The Demon Emperor medicinal garden was about 20 to 30 square miles in size. The area where the Nirvana Dragon Root was planted was in the small core area in the middle of the medicine garden, where the spiritual pulse of this land was located.
As for other places, it was just a common spiritual land. Just as everyone was walking a little, the Patriarch of the Black Flood Dragon Clan suddenly burst into tears. He immediately moved, flying hundreds of meters away.
“Anggrek Azure! This really is an Azure Orchid! ”
In front of the Black Flood Dragon Clan Patriarch, there was a cluster of purplish-blue flowers. The flowers were wrapped in thick ice and looked ordinary.
"Haha, what luck!"
The Black Flood Dragon Clan Patriarch carefully grabbed to retrieve this group of Azure Orchids, placing them into his spiritual ring. Azure orchids were the ingredients for ancient medicines, and were extremely difficult to find. The Black Flood Dragon Clan happened to have a medicinal formula that used the Azure Orchid, but he never imagined that he would unexpectedly find it here.
As Xuan Wuji watched the Patriarch of the Black Flood Dragon Clan collect the Azure Orchid flowers, he did not say anything. Compared to the Nirvana Dragon Root, this little Azure Orchid was completely non-existent.
With precious treasures waiting for him, he naturally had no interest in fighting with the Black Clan Dragon Clan Patriarch over such small matters.
However, no one imagined that the Azure Orchid was only the beginning.
Subsequently, all sorts of various plants appeared. And for most of them, its value was no less than the Azure Orchid.
"Middle-level Blue Spirit grass from the earth!"
"3000 Years of Melting Fruit Essence!"
"Misty Clear Tea intermediate level from the earth!"
……
As the group continued, they constantly looked at all sorts of precious medicines. This land had existed for tens of thousands of years without a single person setting foot in it; the number of medicinal plants growing here was overwhelming.
