After getting rid of the thick fog, Bai Xing and the others actually wanted to go directly to the center area of the map.
The central area of the map is the Qilin Kingdom.
But when they reached the edge of the Qilin Kingdom, they were blocked by an invisible barrier and could not enter.
Princess Ji Yu even sensed a faint warning from the barrier. She told Bai Xing about this perception, and Bai Xing had a guess in her mind.
Could it be that in this central country, there are still surviving indigenous people?
The original idea was to activate the center first and then radiate to the surrounding areas. Now that the plan doesn't work, we have to change it in time.
Bai Xing and the others turned around and headed straight for the capital of the Qinglong Kingdom.
In the last message before his death, the Azure Dragon God told Bai Xing that there might be something she could use in the temple in the capital - the corpse of the Azure Dragon beast.
When they landed in the capital of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, they couldn't help but be shocked by the city.
This city stretches for thousands of miles, with magnificent buildings, clear hierarchy and strict structure. The overall color tone is the calm and solemn blue-green color that the Qinglong clan prefers.
Looking down at the city from high above, Bai Xing was amazed. Although it had obviously been silent since it experienced the baptism of war, perhaps because of the high defensive strength of the buildings, it did not collapse and decay like the border cities.
The buildings in the city have different styles and a very rigorous layout. They are arranged according to certain levels and layers, and are staggered, forming a unique aesthetic.
In the center of the city, there is a towering column statue with a vivid dragon hovering above it, and a huge bronze bell hanging on the top of the column.
Suddenly, as if sensing Bai Xing's arrival, the bronze bell rang by itself, and the deep sound spread throughout the city, as if welcoming their arrival.
At the same time, the gate of the most eye-catching palace in the center of the city slowly opened.
Bai Xing and Princess Ji Yu looked at each other and landed in front of the door.
There seemed to be some obscure law suppressing them here, preventing them from flying. They could only walk towards the palace step by step on the white jade steps.
Fortunately, the entire palace is magnificent, but not ostentatious or stingy, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.
With the strength of Bai Xing and Princess Ji Yu, they can move very fast even when walking.
Besides, this place only suppresses them and prevents them from flying, but does not prevent them from using their abilities to move faster.
The magnificent main hall is right in front of us, and the hall door is actually carved from a whole piece of high-quality, complete white jade.
There were intricate carvings on the door. Bai Xing couldn't recognize what they were; they looked like totems.
On both sides of the gate, two huge bronze animal heads stand quietly, as if they have experienced the baptism of a long time, but still guarding this land.
On the two large pillars in front of the temple gate, there are several statues of strange beasts, which are vivid and lifelike.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the nine sons of the dragon.
Although it is just a statue, when people look at it, they feel the pressure as if the real person is present. If they stare at it for too long, they may even feel dizzy and have a headache.
Bai Xing and Princess Ji Yu slowly walked into the hall, and the scene inside the hall amazed them.
On top of the towering dome, there are exquisite murals depicting the glorious history of the Azure Dragon God.
The walls are inlaid with countless gems, sparkling with brilliant light, which complements the murals on the dome, creating a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
And on a huge stone platform in the center of the hall, a huge corpse lay quietly.
This stone platform appears a little abrupt, as if it was built later. The overall workmanship is a bit rough compared to the palace, but it wins in terms of the materials. Although the stone looks ordinary and uncarved, the surface is still extremely smooth. The closer you get to it, the more you feel like a spring breeze blowing on your face, as comfortable as if the whole person was wrapped in warm water.
On the stone platform was the body of the Azure Dragon God. The body was not as big as Bai Xing had imagined. It might have been shrunk by magic.
Although the corpse has gone through countless years, it still retains the dignity and dominance it had in life.
Bai Xing could feel the powerful aura coming from the corpse. Even though it was dead, it still exuded awe-inspiring power.
Bai Xing walked to the corpse and gently stroked the cold scales. A trace of sadness flashed uncontrollably in her eyes, as if she had witnessed the tragic war and could not help but empathize with the fall of God.
"Is this the corpse of the Azure Dragon?" Bai Xing asked softly, but she didn't really need an answer. She just sighed with emotion, "It's truly shocking."
The remnant of the Azure Dragon God left a message before his death. Perhaps he realized from the beginning that there would be a day when his body would be activated, and the method of activation must not be too far away.
The two began to search carefully in the hall, hoping to find a way to activate the corpse of the Azure Dragon beast.
After some searching, they finally found a stone slab with an inscription in a corner of the stone platform.
Bai Xing carefully read the inscription on the stone slab, and gradually, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes.
"It turns out that by activating the corpse of the Azure Dragon, we can obtain the Azure Dragon, one of the four sacred beasts." Bai Xing said softly.
"Then I'll make a bold guess. To enter the Qilin Kingdom, you need to collect four tokens."
Without waiting for Princess Ji Yu to answer, Bai Xing quickly continued to express her guess.
"Why set such conditions? Are they screening for something?"
"No, if it's a selection process, then only one person, or at most a group of people, can gather all four tokens and enter the Qilin Kingdom. I don't believe the Azure Dragon God would allow others to repeatedly desecrate his corpse at will. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, his corpse should only be activated once."
"Looking at it this way, it does look a bit like the end of Blue Planet. They're concentrating their efforts on creating a safe zone, and only those who pass the screening can enter. But Blue Planet's safe zone can accommodate many people who meet the requirements, while the Qilin Kingdom here seems to only accommodate one."
Bai Xing smacked her lips and said, "It's like a trap, waiting for me to fall into it!"
Although she spoke quickly, Princess Ji Yu followed her train of thought: "Walk into a trap?"
Bai Xing shook her head. "I didn't sense any malice, but rather a sense of sifting, searching for a savior."
Bai Xing suddenly remembered that the Azure Dragon God had previously been “tolerant” of her “rude” behavior.
He also said that she was of pure Qilin bloodline.
Pure...
How pure does it have to be to make the Azure Dragon God show respect to it?
The answer seems obvious.
Only the Qilin itself could receive such treatment...
It is impossible that Bai Xing was born and raised here before, so the more likely possibility is that the previous generation of Qilin God fell and a new Qilin was born.
It is a bold guess that this barrier might be looking for a new Qilin. The Azure Dragon God was so unhurried in letting her see his corpse, probably because he thought she would understand everything after seeing it.
The four symbols have all withered, and power has returned to the hands of Qilin, but Qilin is now wandering outside, so it's no wonder that he needs to be screened.
However, this approach seems extreme, as it is equivalent to shutting out everyone except Qilin.
