Chapter 184 Sand Emperor
After taking a look at the map of mountains, rivers, and states, he closed it, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Thanks to the Queen and the four imperial concubines for guarding us, otherwise we would have been disturbed by that beast and the consequences would have been worrying. Now let's go down and see where this beast came from."
"Okay." The five women used earth escape techniques, turned into yellow light, and disappeared into the ground.
The six people used earth escape to come to the underground ancient city, but there were no houses or anything here, just piles of strange sand. Each pile of sand had a hole the size of a fist, which felt like the nest of some insect.
It is called an ancient city because it is surrounded by walls, with a temple-like building in the middle and the rest is just sand piles.
When you arrive here, an area on the map of mountains, rivers and the country is lit up, and the system rewards you with the sand spirit's sand control technique, which is the innate ability of the Sand Clan and can be considered a special ability that can be cultivated.
Zhou An just took a look and didn't pay any attention to it, continuing to scan the ancient city.
They had never seen these things before and didn't know what they were. There were no records of this in history books, and even none of the legends that had been passed down matched the environment here.
Hua Wu Yue thought for a moment and said, "From the geographical location, this may be the city of the Sand Clan. This race was exterminated in ancient times. It is said that it was finally destroyed by Emperor Kaiyuan."
"What crime did the Sand Tribe commit to deserve being exterminated by the emperor?" Shangguan Rong asked curiously.
"It's because the Sand Tribe's living habits conflict with other creatures. The Sand Tribe can only survive in the sand. If they want to survive, they will destroy plants without limit, which will cause the desert to expand rapidly and endanger the lives of other races.
For this reason, most of the races united to seal the Sand Tribe. After the Sand Tribe escaped, they took revenge on all living beings, and were then destroyed by the emperor. "Hua Wu Yue recalled the contents of the Spirit Tribe's history.
"Now that the Sand Clan has been destroyed, this place may have become the nest of ancient sandworms." Ziqiong glanced at the sand bags around her and felt that this was the worm's nest.
"Well, these sand piles are actually the corpses of the Sand Clan. Ancient sandworms like to use the corpses of the Sand Clan as caves, which allows them to grow quickly and become much stronger than ordinary ancient sandworms."
Hua Wu Yue glanced at these sand bags. Although she was in a nest, she did not feel any fear. No matter how powerful the ancient sandworm was, it would not pose any threat at her level.
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a lot of ancient sandworms crawling out of the sandbags. However, they did not attack, but flew away from the six people at a rapid speed.
Zi Xuan asked curiously, "Why did they run away? Just now on the ground, these guys were very fierce."
Hua Wu Yue looked at Zhou An and said with a smile: "He must be afraid of you."
"Who knows? Let's go check out the only building in the middle. My intuition tells me there will be treasures there."
Zhou An smiled and spread his hands. He didn’t know either. It might be that these guys sensed the aura of the Six Paths Immortal Body, or of course it could be something else.
Just as they took a few steps, Qi Yuan emerged from the ground and roared at them, but he still looked a little scared.
Just as Shangguan Rong and others were about to take action, Zhou An raised his hand first, and a ball of clear water appeared. The moment he flipped his hand and pushed, the water surged and rushed out like the surging Yellow River.
Qiyuan had nowhere to retreat to. This was its nest. Its channel-like mouth opened as wide as possible and spewed out brown sand. At the same time, all the sand around it was controlled, forming a sand tsunami that rushed over.
The Five Elements True Water gathered the power of the Five Elements, and the water expanded rapidly. When the sand waves rushed in, the Five Elements True Water had already turned into sea waves and rushed away.
The two sides collided with each other ten meters above the Sand City. As soon as the sand and waves touched each other, they were washed down by the Five Elements True Water. Countless water waves penetrated the sand, washed the sand away, and swallowed up Qiyuan.
Qi Yuan roared, and tried to turn his body into sand and fly away, but his body was soaked by the Five Element True Water. After turning into sand, he could not fly, and was instead wrapped by the Five Element True Water.
He raised his head and screamed, but with just one scream, he was completely enveloped by the Five Elements True Water and trapped in an oversized water ball.
Hua Wu Yue smiled and said, "It's unlucky for this guy to encounter the Five Elements True Water. Not to mention the Five Elements True Water, any kind of divine water can restrain him."
Zhou An stretched out his hand, the Haotian Tower flew out, took Qiyuan into it, and then continued to walk inside.
This only building is very simple, it is a square building with a hall inside, supported by nine stone pillars. There are no decorations or reliefs in the hall, only a bust of stone statue holding a spear in his hand and wearing a crown on his head.
In front of the stone statue there is an ochre-colored gourd covered with runes, emitting a faint yellow light.
Sign in here to obtain the Ten Thousand Miles of Quicksand Array, the Sand Clan's strongest array. It was because of this array that hundreds of clans were forced to unite to deal with them. Only then did they break the array and stop the quicksand from invading the territories of various clans.
Zhou An sensed something and looked up to see a mirror hanging on the ceiling. Although it was the first time he saw it, the embossed patterns around the mirror were exactly the same as those on the Haotian Tower, Haotian Divine Seal, and Haotian Divine Talisman.
As soon as he took a look, a name appeared in his mind: "Haotian Mirror".
"This is the Sand Emperor. It seems that what is recorded in history books is correct. The Sand Clan was indeed destroyed by the emperor. But I have never seen what this gourd is." Hua Wu Yue looked at the gourd curiously.
Zhou An looked at the Haotian Mirror, and the golden light it emitted covered the gourd, as if sealing the gourd.
"There must be something in the gourd. Look at the Haotian Mirror above your head. It should have been left behind by Emperor Kaiyuan." Zhou An said.
"Could it be that the Sand Emperor is not dead, but just sealed?" Hua Wu Yue was surprised. The Sand Emperor's strength was definitely at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm, on the same level as Bai Yijun.
"Do you know the function of the Haotian Mirror?" Zhou An asked.
“It can illuminate the origin of all objects and seal them. If it is really the Sand Emperor, he will not be able to escape even if he is in the Heavenly Fairyland. The Haotian Mirror has absolute killing power against the spirits. It can directly seal the original power of the spirits.” Hua Wu Yue was in awe when he saw the Haotian Mirror appear instinctively.
"If the origin is sealed, then it is absolutely impossible to practice. How much strength can one exert at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm?" After Zhou An understood the situation, he used his spiritual eyes to look around and confirmed that there was no formation.
He waved his hand, and the Haotian Tower floated in the air. The Haotian Talisman stood in front of the yellow gourd, and the Haotian Seal floated in the upper left corner.
Shangguan Rong and San Zi immediately retreated behind Zhou An. Hua Wu Yue turned into a white jade ring and put it on Zhou An's finger, replenishing his true energy infinitely.
At this time Zhou An performed the magic formula of Haotian Sutra and cast it towards the Haotian Mirror. Golden light fell on the Haotian Mirror, and the golden light immediately stopped shooting down and flew into Zhou An's hand.
As soon as the golden light stopped, the yellow gourd began to vibrate, and then joyful laughter came from the gourd. Then black sand rushed out of the gourd mouth, forming a sand man. The lower body was a ball of sand mist, and the upper body was the image of a man. It felt very much like the genie in the magic lamp.
It just has a crown-like ornament on its head, as if it was something that grew naturally out of its skull.
"I am finally free, Emperor. This feud is irreconcilable. I will turn Kaiyuan Continent into a sea of yellow sand." The man roared, his face full of hostility.
"It's Sand Emperor for sure." Hua Wu Yue became nervous, facing a cultivator at the peak of the ancient Earthly Immortal Realm. Not to mention that she hasn't recovered to her peak yet, even if she has, she would only be at the level of innate great perfection, and there is still a huge chasm between her and the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Zhou An didn't say anything. The Haotian Tower and the Haotian Talisman emitted golden light at the same time, fixing the body of the Sand Emperor. A vortex suction force came from the bottom of the Haotian Tower.
The Sand Emperor had just escaped from prison and was venting his resentment, but when he came out and saw these treasures that originated from the Haotian Mirror, he thought they were the descendants of Emperor Kaiyuan. He roared and grabbed the yellow gourd.
The yellow gourd spewed out yellow sand, which rushed towards everyone here like a wave.
Zhou An cast a spell and the Five Elements True Water instantly turned into a water curtain that surrounded the hall and also surrounded his people.
The yellow sand rushed out, hit the Five Elements True Water and scattered. Not to mention breaking through the Five Elements True Water, it couldn't even invade it at all.
In front of the Five Elements True Water, the yellow sand seemed to lose its power in an instant.
The Sand King was surprised. He raised his right hand, and the sand condensed into a spear and shot at Zhou An.
However, when the sand spear hit the water curtain, it actually made a sound of metal colliding, and the water curtain began to fluctuate, spreading the impact force to all around.
Then the water curtain extended several tentacles, wrapped around the sand spears, and when they touched the Five Elements True Water, the sand spears quickly turned into ordinary sand and fell down.
"Jin! This... this is Five Elements True Water!" This time, the Sand Emperor no longer had the ferocity and resentment he had just had, and instead turned to fear.
The Five Elements True Water must gather the five kinds of sacred waters of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in order to complement each other and become one, otherwise they will fail.
However, not to mention the difficulty of collecting the five kinds of holy water, it is extremely difficult to integrate them. Even in the ancient times, when earthly immortals were as numerous as dogs, celestial immortals were everywhere, and there were also many true immortals, very few immortals could succeed in refining them.
The Haotian Mirror has the greatest restraint on the spirit race and can seal them, but the Five Elements True Water completely restrains the Sand Race and can directly take their lives.
