Chapter 716: Dark World Treasure
Seven days later——
The dim light filled the entire sixth floor of the Tower of Gods, and dust particles danced lightly in the beams of light.
Xiaoliu and Barrett already looked a little tired. Who wouldn't be tired after facing a pile of obscure ancient books every day?
They sat on the floor piled with books, with various ancient books scattered around them, some with yellowed pages and curled edges.
Xiao Liu looked up and wailed, "How come we've only read half of it!"
When I lived here alone before, I never realized there were so many ancient books!
Luo Li was still sitting at the floating desk, but at this moment, her fingers were trembling slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, "Found it!"
Although Luo Li's voice was soft, it was like the morning bell and evening drum, instantly awakening the dull atmosphere in the room.
She looked at the ancient tome in her hand. "The greatest treasure of the Dark Realm, owned by all previous Dark Realm Lords, a supreme spiritual weapon: the Netherworld Stele."
Upon hearing this, Di Xuanming, Xiao Liu and the others all turned their eyes to her. Luo Li had a faint smile on her lips, and the light in her eyes was brighter than the sun.
"The Netherworld Stele?" Emperor Xuanming frowned slightly. "It seems to be the stone stele-like object in the center of the altar. The altar should be used to protect the Netherworld Stele."
Luo Li pressed the corner of her eye and stood up. "Yes, this Netherworld Stele is the ultimate treasure of the Dark Realm. It is a supreme spiritual weapon of the highest grade, second only to the Tower of the Gods."
Barrett frowned with worry. "This supreme spiritual weapon, even a powerful emperor can't shake it in the slightest. This is going to be difficult."
Di Xuanming walked over to Luo Li and looked down at the ancient book in her hand. "Is there anything useful recorded in it?"
Luo Li also frowned. "It only mentioned that if you want to destroy the Netherworld Stele, you need to start with the Lord of the Dark Realm. The Netherworld Stele needs to be nourished by blood. Therefore, unlike other spiritual tools, most Netherworld Stele outside are just clones, and the main body is hidden in the owner's body..."
Di Xuanming was helpless, "It makes no difference whether I mention it or not."
"Yeah." Luo Li pressed her forehead, "Let's look for more, maybe there are other clues."
Another seven days passed, and they finally finished reading all the ancient books on the sixth floor.
Unfortunately, apart from the ancient book in Luo Li's hand, there are not many records about the dark world in other ancient books.
Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her swollen forehead, "I'll go ask Lingyu."
Di Xuanming stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
"Well," Luo Li looked at Xiaoliu lying on the ground and smiled, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, not hard." Several guys lay on the ground and waved their hands weakly.
Luo Li chuckled helplessly and looked at Di Xuanming, "Let's go and find Lingyu."
The two left the Tower of Gods. At noon, Luo Li called a disciple of the alliance.
"Spirit Master," the young man bowed and replied, "I saw Master Lingyu in the council hall yesterday, but I haven't seen him today. Perhaps he's resting in his courtyard."
Luo Li actually didn't know where Lingyu's yard was. "Please take me there."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother!" The young man was a little flattered, his face slightly red. "Spirit Master, and this guest, please follow me."
The two followed the young man and walked towards Lingyu's courtyard.
Looking at the boy's slightly childish face, Luo Li smiled and asked, "What's your name, and how old are you this year?"
The young man suppressed his excitement and said seriously, "Spirit Master, my name is Feng Wu, I am from the Phoenix Clan! I am seventeen years old!"
Luo Li nodded. "It seems that your strength has reached the Divine Emperor level. You are very talented. Has Lingyu distributed the elixirs to you?"
"This is the Myriad Beasts Continent, so reaching the Divine Rank is quite easy." Feng Wu scratched his head and nodded with sparkling eyes. "Master Lingyu has distributed the elixirs given by the Spiritual Master to the tribesmen. Thank you, Spiritual Master!"
Hearing this, Luo Li smiled slightly, raised her jade hand slightly, and a pill with a warm and lustrous glow appeared in her palm, as if it contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Take this pill."
Feng Wu took it respectfully with both hands. The moment the pill came into his hands, a warm current surged into his heart. He looked up, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Spirit Master!"
Luo Li waved her hand lightly, "No problem."
After a while, they arrived outside a courtyard. Feng Wu looked at Luo Li and said, "Spirit Master, this is Master Lingyu's courtyard."
"Okay." Luo Li looked at him, "Sorry for the trouble."
Feng Wu quickly shook his head and said, "Spirit Master, you are too kind. Please go ahead and do your work. I will withdraw now."
Luo Li nodded slightly and walked into the yard with Di Xuanming. The yard was full of towering ancient trees, and flowers were blooming on both sides of the bluestone path, and colorful butterflies were dancing.
The sunlight shines through the leaves onto the bluestone road, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet place.
She walked slowly to a carved door, raised her hand gently, and the door opened silently. The faint aroma of tea and the sound of turning pages came from inside.
Luo Li's eyes were gentle as she walked in. She saw Ling Yu sitting by the window, holding an ancient book in his hand. The sunlight outlined his well-defined profile, but his eyes were not on the ancient book. Instead, he seemed to be in a trance.
Hearing the sound, Ling Yu came back to his senses and saw Luo Li and Di Xuanming. He was slightly startled, but quickly reacted, "Spirit Master, why did you come here in person?"
Ling Yu stood up to greet him, his sleeves fluttering, bringing up a breeze that gently turned the pages of the ancient book.
Thinking of something, he asked anxiously, "Did the Spirit Master find any clues?"
His gaze passed over Luo Li and finally landed on Di Xuanming. A barely perceptible complexity flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to his usual indifference.
Luo Li didn't notice his expression, but Di Xuanming did. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Luo Li just walked over and nodded, "I found a little clue."
"Sit down and talk." Lingyu nodded, stretched out his hand to signal the two to sit down, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like the warm spring sun, warm but not dazzling.
"Okay," Luo Li sat down, and Di Xuanming sat next to her and nodded lightly to Lingyu.
Lingyu sat across the table and asked, "What clues did the Spirit Master find?"
Luo Li took out the ancient book and handed it to Ling Yu, "Look."
Lingyu glanced at Luo Li, then took the ancient book as instructed and started flipping through it.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened. "So it's the Netherworld Monument..."
Luo Li was puzzled, "You know?"
"I heard about it from the elders of my clan before," Lingyu said, closing the ancient book, feeling somewhat distressed. "The black altar had covered the Netherworld Monument, so I didn't recognize it."
He tapped his fingertips lightly, "If that thing in the air is really the Netherworld Monument, then we're going to be in trouble."
It was clearly noon, but a cold wind was howling outside the window, causing the curtains to dance lightly.
Lingyu's fingers slowly stroked the cover of the ancient book, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void and look directly into the unknown darkness.
He murmured softly, "Once the Netherworld Monument appears, all living things will be devastated."
