Xiang Sheng remembered clearly that one of the murals in the Ancestral Demon Temple depicted the Abyss Snake Clan leader and the high priest kneeling in worship before a colorful crystal wall.
Later, Lou Huo also mentioned that the Abyss Snake Clan had a treasure called the Blood Refining Crystal Wall.
This crystal stone glows with colorful light and has blood veins inside. Could it be a fragment of the blood-refined crystal wall?
The once most precious treasure of the Abyss Snake Clan had long since shattered and collapsed, so that’s why she couldn’t see it in the Ancestral Demon Temple?
However, the Abyss Snake is a demon race that has survived from ancient times to this day. Its cultivation level far exceeds that of any sect in the current world of cultivation, and it has been hiding underground and has never appeared.
In the mural, the ancient war is in front and the whole tribe’s sacrifice is in the back, which shows that the Blood Refining Crystal Wall was not damaged in the war and has always been intact.
The shattering of the crystal wall must have been a later incident. Who could have gotten past them and shattered the blood-refining crystal wall?
Are they other demon races left over from the ancient times? Or are they... the ancient gods that Sui Lian mentioned being resurrected?
Countless questions came to my mind.
Xiang Sheng lowered his head and looked at the crystal in his palm, squinting slightly.
Even if this ancient treasure is broken into pieces, some power will remain. If it can be activated, perhaps some clues can be obtained from it.
Thinking of this, she gripped the crystal slightly and poured her true essence into it.
But no matter how much was poured in, the crystal was like a drop in the ocean, with no reaction at all.
Xiang Sheng tried to use the power of his soul, sword intent and even life force to stimulate it, but nothing worked.
"It seems that the guess was wrong."
Xiang Sheng released his hand, not feeling disappointed.
After all, guesses are just guesses. Only a few of them are proven to be true. It is common to get nothing after trying.
She was about to put away the crystal and continue to control the flying sword to dig deep into the stone wall, when the Breath-Gathering Pearl in her sea of consciousness suddenly trembled.
Her expression was slightly tense, but before she could react, a ray of heaven-defying power suddenly overflowed and penetrated into the crystal.
The next moment, the crystal shone brightly!
A ball of colorful light shot out from the crystal stone, quickly sank into Xiang Sheng's eyebrows, and disappeared.
Xiang Sheng's body suddenly went limp and he fell straight down.
"Sister Li!"
Yuan Jing was shocked and quickly supported Xiang Sheng while calling out to him.
But no matter how she shouted, she couldn't wake Xiang Sheng up.
…
Xiang Sheng felt his eyes go dark, and when he regained consciousness, his consciousness had floated above an unfamiliar study.
She sensed herself and found that her soul was suppressed by an unknown force and could not move. Although she could hear Yuan Jing calling her outside, she could not respond.
She looked at the spacious and elegant study below, and a sense of enlightenment arose in her heart.
This is her sea of consciousness.
This scene is a fragment of memory in the crystal.
Because this memory was too huge, it suddenly washed over him, causing his soul to be suppressed.
Next, she only needs to digest some of the memories to free her soul from suppression, and she will wake up immediately.
After figuring out his own situation, he calmed down a little and immersed himself in the memory fragments.
As Xiang Sheng's mood changed, the memory fragments seemed to be affected and began to accelerate.
Soon, two half-demons with human heads and snake bodies twisted their bodies and entered the study.
Abyss Snake Clan!
Xiang Sheng took a closer look and immediately recognized the old man walking in front of him. He was the high priest on the mural of the Ancestral Demon Temple.
The young Abyss Snake behind him looked very unfamiliar and did not match any of the faces on the mural.
While Xiang Sheng was thinking, the scene continued.
The high priest led the young Abyss Snake to a bonsai and spoke slowly:
"Guess what this is?"
The young Abyss Snake stared at the potted plant for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa, this is the Wei Rui Pass, one of the eight mother talisman assessment passes. Am I right?"
The high priest showed a teachable expression and pointed to a nearby fish tank. "What about this?"
The young Abyss Snake scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, you are making it too difficult for me. There are more than one mother talisman related to water. Could it be the Zhenguan?"
The high priest shook his head, "Wrong, guess again."
The young Abyss Snake looked troubled, "Then... the forbidden level?"
The high priest laughed heartily, "That's right! My grandson is indeed very smart."
The young Abyss Snake was helpless. "Grandpa, please stop making fun of me. There are only three mother symbols related to water. I guessed the second one, but it was just luck."
The high priest's face darkened and he snorted, "Boy, I think you're just deliberately guessing wrong because you don't want to take over the position of priest. Your father is like this, and so are you!"
The young Abyss Snake was even more helpless, "Grandpa..."
"Stop talking nonsense and guess what this is."
The high priest then pointed out the six furnishings in the study, including the inkstone, paperweight, incense burner, rockery stone, and scroll.
The young Abyss Snake answered more and more fluently.
Xiang Sheng looked at it, his heart trembling, his eyes moving down to the bonsai that was placed alone in a corner of the room.
Weirui Pass.
It turned out that the ancient forest they were trapped in was just a potted plant in the study.
This thing turned out to be a small secret treasure similar to the secret bead of the Demon God Valley.
And there are eight such little secret places in the study!
It seems that this should be a training level set up by the Abyss Snake Clan to test the younger generation's progress.
The ancient demon clan is indeed wealthy and powerful.
Xiang Sheng's thoughts turned, and the memory scene changed again.
However, the once-in-a-decade assessment competition has begun, and thousands of Abyss Snakes have entered the eight assessment levels.
The high priest and the young Abyss Snake sat in the study, evaluating the tribesmen who were taking the test.
Images of numerous Abyssal Snakes breaking through the assessment levels were transmitted...
Xiang Sheng saw many young members of the Abyss Snake Clan undergoing assessment in the ancient forest.
I saw them using their eyesight to find a way out, and saw various puppet monsters made of wood and stone blocking their way, and they were engaged in a fierce battle with many young Abyss Snakes...
