Chapter 1201 The Mystery of Emperor Shenwu

"Uncle, you are amazing. You found this place so quickly. Xiaohu thought it would take at least some time."

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Wu Xiaohu excitedly walked up to Wu Yan and said excitedly.

"Yes, Brother Wu is really amazing. He passed through the core area so quickly and found this place." Yuan Lie and Mu Feng also greeted Wu Yan, and said with some surprise and emotion.

Wu Yan nodded, exchanged a few polite words, and got straight to the point, saying: "Why aren't you three with Brother Fu and Dugu Shouque? Have they both gone out to explore?"

"Brother Wu, it's like this. Brother Fu plans to go to a heritage site to look for earth spirits. It's very dangerous there, and Brother Fu is afraid that he can't be distracted to take care of Xiaohu, so he asked the two of us to look after him here. Brother Dugu originally planned to wait for Brother Wu here with us, but later he heard Brother Fu mention that there are not only earth spirits in that heritage site, but also divine soil may be born, so he followed."

Yuan Lie said to Wu Yan with a hint of loss and helplessness on his face. It seems that the two of them also want to go and see and find some opportunities, but they should have been rejected by Fu Qingshan.

After all, any cultivator who has a map of the heritage treasure land will generally not be willing to share it with others, so it is reasonable to be rejected.

Presumably, this place should be the place of exploration that Fu Qingshan has chosen long ago, which is why it is like this. As for entrusting Wu Xiaohu to Yuanlie and Mufeng, Fu Qingshan must have made this plan after careful consideration.

After all, Fu Qingshan saw with his own eyes that the two had a good relationship with Wu Yan on Tianhuang Island before, so he felt relieved to entrust him to the two. As for Dugu Shouque, I am afraid he must have paid a considerable price to impress Fu Qingshan, so that he could go with him.

Wu Yan had accidentally heard Mufeng mention that the spirit devouring the corresponding attributes of the spirit can help to strengthen itself and improve its level. Even if some original spirits can be found, it is very likely to improve the quality of the spirit.

The divine soil mentioned by the two not only contains extremely rich soil essence, but also has the special use of cultivating divine herbs. For cultivators, especially for alchemy masters, it is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought.

Fu Qingshan's behavior is understandable. Any inheritance treasure land is extremely dangerous. If Wu Xiaohu goes there, he may really be in danger. However, risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to get opportunities, you can't avoid taking risks.

Fu Qingshan was entrusted by Wu Yan to help take care of Wu Xiaohu. He didn't dare to let him go on the adventure, which seemed quite cautious, but from another point of view, it was equivalent to cutting off Wu Xiaohu's opportunities.

Wu Yan would not complain about this. Compared with the so-called opportunities, Wu Xiaohu's safety was more important to him.

"If you two want to go to any inheritance treasure land, you might as well tell me. Wu Mou caused you a lot of losses before. This time, I will do my best to help you find the treasure. After the trip to the Shenwu Emperor's cave, Wu Mou will continue to explore other treasure lands with you." After thinking about it, Wu Yan said solemnly to Yuan Lie and Mu Feng.

Yuan Lie and Mu Feng had learned from Fu Qingshan that Wu Yan entered the Shenwu Emperor's cave from the Shenhuo Gate, but he suddenly appeared in the palace corresponding to the exploration area of ​​the Shentu Gate at this moment. It seems that he should have passed the core area very smoothly and got here.

With such means, he has already surpassed the two of them by a lot. At this point, how could the two of them still have the slightest bit of arrogance as genius cultivators in the fairy world in front of Wu Yan? After getting Wu Yan's promise, both of them showed satisfaction.

When discussing in Xianling City before, the inheritance treasure maps that several people took out were mostly on the Xuanhuang Continent of the Xianling Secret Realm and some scattered islands around. As for Tianhuang Island, several people did not have a map, let alone in the Shenwu Emperor Cave Mansion.

However, not having a map does not mean that they have not heard of the Shenwu Emperor Cave Mansion, nor does it mean that they do not know which inheritance treasures are in the Shenwu Emperor Cave Mansion.

Knowing the inheritance treasures, without a map, it may be difficult to find, and even if you find the inheritance treasures, you may not be able to enter. But since Wu Yan mentioned it, the two of them finally couldn't resist the temptation and were tempted.

"It would be great if I could catch one or two good earth spirits to help my martial soul improve. My martial soul has never been effectively improved, and it has always been a shortcoming. Why don't we go to the inheritance treasure land that Brother Fu mentioned?"

Mu Feng thought about it and said with some interest.

He is a cultivator of immortal and innate martial arts, and his soul and martial soul are cultivated together. His soul is strong, but his martial soul has not been improved due to certain restrictions, so he has always been a little worried.

"I also want to take some divine soil with me. When I go back, I will open a medicine garden in my cave and cultivate some rare divine herbs to prepare for my father's impact on the realm of true immortals. Brother Fu said that the place where the divine soil was born and the earth spirits were derived is in a place called 'Houtuxu'. Unfortunately, we don't have a map, and it may be very difficult to find it." Yuan Lie agreed.

"Houtu Ruins? I've never heard of this place. It doesn't matter if there's no map, I have a way. Everyone wait in the hall for a while."

Wu Yan smiled calmly, walked to the door of the hall, separated a group of spiritual consciousness, attached to the five-colored cloud barrier, and with a slight movement of his mind, this group of witch barrier condensed by the five poisonous soul-devouring insects flew into the air and left the hall, disappearing without a trace in a moment.

"Are these the spiritual insects that Brother Wu released earlier? So amazing! They can ignore the rules of the Shenwu Emperor's cave, not only are they not excluded, but they can also fly freely here, which is incredible!"

Yuan Lie and Mu Feng stood at the door of the hall and said with great envy.

Before on Tianhuang Island, Wu Yan had used this spirit insect to fight the enemy. The two had always thought that this spirit insect was good at killing enemies, and it was not very useful in other aspects. But now it seems that it is not the case. Wu Yan actually used this insect to explore the way.

What surprised the two was that this spirit insect actually ignored the rules of the Kun Palace in the Shenwu Emperor's cave and flew back and forth freely. This was too weird.

You know, everyone has tried it before. Even with Fu Qingshan's powerful body of the gods, he was suppressed here and could not escape into the air, but these spirit insects could. How could it not be surprising?

Wu Yan actually had this spirit insect that could both kill enemies and explore the way. The two naturally envied it in their hearts.

With such a highly mobile ear and eye, it is extremely easy to explore anywhere in the Shenwu Emperor's cave. The two people, who were originally worried that they would get nothing in the fairy secret realm because of the loss of manpower, could not help but feel relieved at this moment.

This spirit insect can easily deal with this extremely dangerous and bizarre Shenwu Emperor Cave Mansion. It must be easier in the fairy secret realm outside.

After releasing the five poisonous spirit-eating Gu, several people immediately waited for news in the Shentu Tempering Martial Hall. Wu Yan was not idle, but turned his attention to the twelve totem stone pillars in the hall.

The construction scale and palace style of this Shentu Tempering Martial Hall are similar to those of the Shenhuo Tempering Martial Hall. Both halls are supported by twelve totem pillars. However, the totem pillars in the Shenhuo Tempering Martial Hall are copper pillars, while those here are stone pillars.

Deep in the hall, there is also an altar, and behind the altar, there stands a stone statue. Wu Yan has inherited the witch tree, and recognized at a glance that the statue is Hou Tu, the ancestor of the earth, one of the twelve ancestors of witches.

When Wu Yan saw the statue of the God of Fire Zhurong in the Divine Fire Tempering Hall, he felt that something was a bit strange, because Zhurong was the ancestor of fire among the twelve ancestors of witches. Now that he saw the ancestor of earth was also enshrined in the temple, the originally vague clue gradually became clear in Wu Yan's mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, the one enshrined in the Divine Wood Tempering Hall must be the ancestor of wood, Ju Mang, among the twelve ancestors of witches.

The one enshrined in the Divine Gold Tempering Hall must be the ancestor of gold, Rushou, who is the distant ancestor of the Rushou clan. The one enshrined in the Divine Water Tempering Hall must be the ancestor of water, Gonggong.

As for the Divine Wind Tempering Hall, the Divine Thunder Tempering Hall, and the Shining Spirit Tempering Hall, they must be the ancestor of wind, Tian Wu, the ancestor of thunder, Qiang Liang, and the ancestor of shining spirits, Yue Zi.

No wonder the descendants of the eight tribes of the Tianwu clan were sealed on this Tianhuang Island and could not escape for countless years. It turned out that the statues of their ancestors were enshrined in the temple inside the Shenwu Emperor's cave.

This Shenwu Emperor's cave should not be built by any of the great witches in the Tianwu clan, otherwise Qiang Xiang and Ruhuo and others would not have known about it. However, this cave has a temple dedicated to the eight ancestors of the twelve witch ancestors, and there are also statues for worship.

Regarding the origin of the Shenwu Emperor, there are only rumors in the world, and there is no real evidence to verify.

Wu Yan guessed that this ancient Shenwu Emperor should have a relationship with the Xuanhuang Patriarch and the Tianwu clan. And the fact that he built this Bagua Tiangong and eight temples should be related to some kind of magical skills he passed down.

This might be the place where he trained his disciples. To practice this kind of technique, one must rely on eight different kinds of original divine powers to temper the martial arts body and martial arts soul, which is why this Bagua Heavenly Palace was built.

As for why the eight tribes of the Tianwu clan were sealed in Tianhuang Island and could never leave, I think this should also be the method of the Emperor Shenwu.

He must have used the pure blood and soul of the eight tribes of Tianwu to continuously awaken the divinity of these ancient ancestors and maintain the eight kinds of original divine powers in the eight palaces, which is why this arrangement was made.

The reason for this speculation is actually related to his conversation with the patriarchs of the eight tribes some time ago. The patriarchs of the eight tribes, based on the experiences of the eight tribes of Tianhuang over hundreds of thousands of years, secretly speculated that there was something hidden in Tianhuang Di Laotai that was closely related to the survival of their tribes.

They had long realized that there were some terrible things in Tianhuangdi Laotai, which would extract the blood and soul of their tribesmen every once in a while, and they could not avoid it no matter where they were.

And whenever someone from the eight tribes tried to leave Tianhuang Plain, they either died inexplicably, their blood and essence were exhausted, their soul disappeared, or they were killed and devoured by evil spirits of foreign races.

Another main purpose of Wu Yan's entry into the Emperor Shenwu Cave Mansion this time was to explore the secrets of the Emperor Shenwu Cave Mansion.

Wu Yan's eyes swept across the twelve totem stone pillars in the hall and found that he only recognized one of the totem spirits enshrined on the totem stone pillars, and did not recognize the rest.

The strange bird monster that was entangled by the Five Poisons Devouring Soul Gu just now was the earth totem spirit on the second stone pillar on the left and right sides. Wu Yan had seen many fierce beasts and monsters in some ancient books and catalogs, but he had never seen this strange bird monster.

Of the twelve totem stone pillars, Wu Yan only recognized the totem holy spirits on the last two pillars. They were the real sacred beasts, Qilin, and even though they were just carved totem patterns, when viewed from afar, Wu Yan felt an awe-inspiring divine power that he could not contend with.
