Chapter 213: Seeing The True Monarch!
“Too strong…”
Qingqiu Qianqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Su Qin broke the Nine-layered Killing Array of the True Monarch in an instant. This strength, even during the prosperous era, would still be shocking.
After all, who was the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea?
Even if he was not the most powerful in the world at that time, he was still famous. Yet the Killing Array he arranged was destroyed, just like that?
Even after nearly 10,000 years passing, the power of the Killing Array did seem to diminish much, hence what just happened was truly unimaginable.
If Su Qin knew Qingqiu Qianqian’s thoughts, he would laugh out loud.
If the Nine-layered Killing Array in the lake was of another attribute, Su Qin wouldn’t have been stuck. But since the Killing Array was fire-based, it had become his ‘nutrient’.
The Three-legged Golden Crow was born from the sun. It feeds on the sun’s fire. Although Su Qin was far lesser than the real Three-legged Golden Crow, he could simulate the aura of the Three-legged Golden Crow, and it was possible to ignore the overwhelming majority of flames in the world.
“With tens of thousands of Nine-layered Killing Arrays that’s just like this one, I should be able to train the [Burning Sun Divine Art]…”
Su Qin roughly estimated the resources he would need, and his expression turned dark.
The Nine-layered Killing Array in the lake was arranged by a Peak Earth Immortal. Let alone tens of thousands, he couldn’t find even a dozen of them.
Su Qin held a heavy heart.
If the first statue already required this much resources, just how demanding would the later 11 be?
In Su Qin’s guess, the later in the [12 Divine Beast Statues], the higher the demand for resources.
For example, if the resources required for the first statue is one, then the resources required for the second would be ten, and the third one would be a hundred…
“I knew there was a problem…”
Su Qin sighed softly, and felt rather helpless.
At first, when Su Qin got the [12 Divine Beast Statues], he just knew that a lot of Cultivation resources were needed, but it was not clear how many.
Su Qin only knew that it’s a lot. Well, at least the current Su Qin can’t meet it.
With the comparison of the Nine-layered Killing Array, Su Qin felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Not to mention reaching the 12th statue, according to the current consumption of the first statue, if Su Qin wants to Cultivate the third statue, I am afraid that the resources of the entire world will be drained!
“But once I do manage to practice it, even if it’s just the first statue, the benefit it would bring me would definitely be a qualitative change.”
When Su Qin thought about it again, his face eased.
The [12 Divine Beast Statues] does consume a lot of resources, but only after you have resources can you Cultivate it.
If Su Qin can really incarnate into a Golden Crow, even a young Golden Crow would be enough to overwhelm an Earth Immortal.
“Now that the Killing Array is broken.”
“Let’s see what the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea has left.”
Su Qin glanced at the small island a few meters away, took one step, and appeared on it.
Compared with the Killing Array in the lake, the island was extremely safe. Perhaps in the eyes of the True Monarch, no one can pass the Nine-layered Killing Array under the lake.
“My Lord.”
“Wait for me.”
Qingqiu Qianqian gritted her teeth and walked across the lake, following Su Qin.
The Demon Fox Race had been thinking about the Cave Mansion for nearly 10,000 years, but unfortunately they had been blocked by the Killing Array.
Now that the Killing Array had been broken by Su Qin, Qingqiu Qianqian certainly wanted to know what was on the island.
It’s not that Qingqiu Qianqian wanted to get what’s on the island, she just had a kind of obsession to see what the Demon Fox Race had longed for, for nearly 10,000 years.
Soon, Qingqiu Qianqian arrived on the island.
Walking here, Qingqiu Qianqian already felt that she was in an extremely strange environment.
For nearly 10,000 years, countless Demon Fox Race members have failed to even get near here.
Qingqiu Qianqian herself had only seen this small island in the distance, it was her first time to step on it.
“What a rich World’s Essence Qi…”
Qingqiu Qianqian said in a low voice.
“Sixty percent of World’s Essence Qi of the entire Ying State Monster Island is all gathered here, so how can it not be rich?”
Su Qin said casually.
Although Su Qin had already arrived on the island at this time, he still did not go deep inside immediately.
Although the island seemed extremely safe and that the True Monarch probably did not place a Killing Array on the island, Su Qin never put his safety on others.
It was only a few hours later, after Su Qin used the [Eyes of Truth] and [Celestial Eyes] to scan the island hundreds of times and used at least dozens of methods, such as Divine Sense, etc., and confirmed that it was really safe, did he then slowly enter.
As for Qingqiu Qianqian, she followed Su Qin curiously, constantly looking at everything on the island.
Su Qin didn’t pay much attention to her and just moved deeper into the island at a pace that’s neither fast nor slow.
“There is nothing on the island.”
Qingqiu Qianqian whispered after looking around for some time.
Soon, the two came to the depths of the island.
Only the Cave Mansion was in front of them.
“This is the Cave Mansion of the True Monarch?” Qingqiu Qianqian looked at the place blankly, feeling deeply moved.
“My Lord, the palm print at the entrance of the Cave Mansion should have been left by the True Monarch.” Qingqiu Qianqian immediately noticed the fiery-red palmprint on the black stone door of the Cave Mansion.
“Master, there must be a means left by the True Monarch on this, you must be careful…”
Qingqiu Qianqian had a nervous expression on her face.
Now that they have reached this point, Qingqiu Qianqian certainly doesn’t want to f_ck up and fall short.
However, the next moment, under Qingqiu’s shocked gaze.
Su Qin raised his hand and pressed it on the palm print, and the black stone door of Cave Mansion let out a roar and it slowly opened.
“This…”
Qingqiu Qianqian stood blankly on the spot.
“It’s not that complicated.” Su Qin shook his head slightly: “This palm print is indeed connected to the Killing Array outside and the Heaven and Earth Array, but now the Nine-layered Killing Array is broken. The Heaven and Earth Array is also in my control. This palm print is really just a simple palm print, nothing more.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly and gave out a rare explanation.
At this moment, Su Qin also had some expectations on what could be inside. This Cave Mansion was obviously made of a special material, which can block Su Qin’s Divine Sense and Domain.
So, before the stone gate was completely opened, Su Qin didn’t know what was inside the Cave Mansion.
After the stone door was opened, what greeted them was a huge stone chamber.
There were many bottles and jars in the stone chamber. There were even many ancient books, but unfortunately, after nearly 10,000 years passed, everything had decayed and nothing remained.
Especially the bottles and jars. The Pills and medicine inside had all decayed, now there was only some of the residue left.
“This is… it?”
Qingqiu Qianqian’s pretty face was full of disappointment.
The Demon Fox Race thought about this Cave Mansion for nearly 10,000 years, and looked forward to what amazing medicine or peerless Divine Art was in it.
But now it seems that even if the True Monarch did leave those things, after so many years, the medicinal power of the stunning medicines was gone, and the peerless Divine Arts also rotted.
Under the flow of time, there was not much left.
Even the Arrays in the Ying State Monster Island will also decay and become a waste after a long time has passed.
As Qingqiu Qianqian’s gaze arrived at the center of the Cave Mansion, she saw a figure sitting cross-legged.
This figure was wearing a red daoist robe and eyes drooping, as if it was watching her.
“That is…?”
“That’s the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea!!”
Qingqiu Qianqian’s face became as pale as paper. Her voice trembled as she looked at the figure.
The portrait of the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea was still stored on the Ying State Monster Island, so Qingqiu Qianqian immediately recognized that the figure was the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea.
Just when Qingqiu Qianqian’s legs became weak and she was about to kneel on the ground, a calm voice sounded in her ears.
“Don’t worry, the True Monarch is dead.”
Su Qin calmly said.
Nearly 10,000 years had passed. Not to mention that the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea who was just an Earth Immortal, even if he broke past the Earth Immortal Realm, he would still be dead after so long.
Except for the real Gods or Buddha in the myths and legends, Su Qin had not heard of any being that can live for 10,000 years.
Maybe a special race from the Monster Clan can do it, but the True Monarch was obviously a human.
In addition, Su Qin used the [Eyes of Truth] and [Celestial Eyes], and concluded that the True Monarch had indeed died.
“Dead?”
Qingqiu Qianqian was in shock, she braced herself and once again looked at the True Monarch. The other party was not breathing…
“The True Monarch, the True Monarch died during meditation here…” Qingqiu Qianqian calmed down and said with a trembling voice.
All this time, the Demon Fox Race thought that the True Monarch had died outside. It turns out that he had never left the Ying State Monster Island.
When she thought of the Demon Fox Race occupying the Ying State Monster Island under the eyes of the True Monarch…
Qingqiu Qianqian felt her scalp go numb.
Compared with Qingqiu Qianqian’s shock, Su Qin was much calmer.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Demon Fox Race, the True Monarch was their Master that controlled their life and death. For Su Qin, the True Monarch was just an Earth Immortal.
He was worthy of respect, but not ‘fear’, because as long as Su Qin was given time, he would naturally become an Earth Immortal.
“Did he cultivate some kind of body refinement technique, since his body was preserved for nearly 10,000 years?”
Su Qin touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
With his eyesight, he can see the Divine Sense and soul of the True Monarch had long disappeared, leaving only the body.
Generally speaking, the time of existence of the body was shorter than the Divine Sense, such as the Demon Buddha suppressed in the Shaolin Temple. His body decayed early, leaving only his Demonic Will.
It’s obviously strange that the True Monarch has managed to preserve his body to survive this long.
“Huh?”
While Su Qin was in thought, his gaze was inadvertently swept over the thing held by the True Monarch, and suddenly let out a sound of surprise.
