New Chapter: Imperial Dao Sacred Ground
Wang Xuan's eyes changed. The Imperial Dao Spear was lost in the outside world. It turned out to be the key. Without it, one could not enter the highest secret land of this civilization!
Auspicious clouds soared into the sky, and Chaos Light flowed. The void at the end of the stone forest blurred and tore open, revealing a strange little world.
Wang Xuan's heart pounded; the banner of the Dao Control Banner was right there.
He thought for a moment and took out the Imperial Dao Spear. He felt insecure without it in his hand, since his primordial spirit was no longer there.
The small world was open and did not close immediately. Wang Xuan gritted his teeth, leaped out of the stone forest, and rushed in quickly.
Standing there, he was glad he had brought the Imperial Dao Spear. The energy composition here was too complex. There was terrifying nuclear radiation on the mountaintop, like a small sun "melting". The lakes on the ground were filled with heavy yin energy. The abyss in the distance seemed to be filled with dark matter. As for the void, chaotic energy fluctuated and flowed, never at peace for a moment.
Wang Xuan calmed himself down. There was nothing to get excited about. Perhaps the Dao Control Banner was destroyed, but if it was, it couldn't be hidden.
He surveyed the area, where various unknown energies permeated the distant mountains, corroding their bodies. The mountains there were pitted and uneven, spewing out various kinds of refined gold.
That place is an absolute treasure trove!
The sky was incredibly hot; the clouds were actually formed from the Sun Fire Essence and were drifting into the distance.
This also resulted in the ground being very clean, with few ancient trees and medicinal herbs, and even the lakes were devoid of life, with the underwater world remaining silent.
Further away was a pool, bright red and terrifyingly hot. It wasn't lava, but some kind of molten metal, intertwined with strange energy.
Wang Xuan walked over, making some guesses but not certain, until he saw the cooling copper block next to the pool and was immediately shocked. The metal block was covered with fine, naturally occurring patterns.
This is actually the legendary Great Luo Copper Mother!
It was exactly the same as described in the ancient book, which left him somewhat stunned. It was said to be extremely hard, and its natural textures were perfect for extending and expanding the laws of nature. It was an auxiliary material for refining treasures, and adding some would produce excellent results.
He had previously suspected that the Iron Stake on his body, as well as the flagpole of the Body Slaying Banner, contained Great Luo Copper Mother material. Now he was certain that it definitely did; the civilization of the Dao Control Banner was certainly not lacking in such materials.
Although the pool is not large, only two meters in diameter, the Great Luo Copper Mother molten in it is enough for refining weapons. Wang Xuan felt that if he really had the chance to refine the First Killing Array Diagram, he could find a large number of priceless divine objects here.
He traveled through the mountains and saw various metal lumps at the foot of the mountain, many of which were rare materials.
This Small World is full of all sorts of strange things.
"It's not that this place is rich in resources, but rather that the Dao Control Banner civilization collected a large number of divine objects from other places and transported them here," he guessed.
But what about the flag? He walked for most of the day and still couldn't find it.
Then, in the distance, he saw several buildings that, despite the passage of countless years and the Vanished even Supernatural Civilization, had not collapsed.
As he got closer, he realized that these were houses made of strange materials, including a secret chamber made of Flame Gold and a bizarre building made of pure Sun Gold.
The rich heritage of a civilization is truly extravagant; it is far more captivating than the Fire Ember he had seen before. Even after the dust has been blown away, these buildings still retain their brilliance.
He entered a building and saw some divine gold jars, some jade fragments, ashes, and other things. The ordinary bottles and jars were all destroyed.
He opened a jar and saw a pill, but it turned to ash and vanished completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They existed for an exceptionally long time. Even though they were sealed and laws were invoked back then, they eventually decayed under the impact of the long river of time.
The people of that time seemed to have foreseen all of this, leaving behind some manuscripts, all cast in Sun Gold. Even after the dust was wiped away, they still shone brightly with a dazzling brilliance.
This divine metal can withstand the erosion of time and has extremely high stability. Each page is very thin, but when put together, it is several feet high and a thick stack.
Wang Xuan flipped through it, but he didn't recognize a single word. He had a headache. This was the culmination of the efforts of a highly advanced and Supernatural Civilization. He could only stare blankly, helpless.
"Is there an immortal mark left?" He touched it with his fingers, but it was no use. He stared at the Sun Gold with burning eyes, but the manuscripts returned his cold temperature.
A thought struck him, and he touched the metal manuscripts with the thumb-length Imperial Dao Spear. Surprisingly... it worked. They glowed, and layers of marks appeared, surging towards his heart.
In the end, like a torrent, countless words and phrases poured in all at once, giving him a splitting headache.
Much later, these words were no longer a secret to him; he could understand them and read them without any difficulty. In fact, the records in the manuscript had already been stored in his mind.
"When in doubt, consult the Imperial Dao Spear. This is... the key. All the secrets of the Dao Control Banner Civilization need to be revealed through it!" Wang Xuan's expression was complicated.
This is no exaggeration. The Imperial Dao Spear was placed outside not only as a treasure for killing, but also as a token and key. Without it, one cannot get here or obtain these things.
This stack of manuscripts is all related to alchemy, but it's not just about regular pills to improve cultivation; it also includes cutting-edge research on biological evolution.
This is a laboratory where various biological experiments were conducted in the past to analyze the extraordinary, study the Super Peerless Imperial Dao Great Realm, and speculate on how the human body could break through to that level.
At the same time, these manuscripts also mention how the strong survived and maintained themselves in that Exhausted Era after the myths decayed.
This is quite astonishing!
The experiments here involve various ideas and research from different perspectives, but unfortunately, no major breakthrough has been made to reshape the extraordinary world. Even if the strength of the powerful can be maintained for a period of time, they will eventually become mortals.
However, these studies, especially in certain branches, are still worthy of attention. If future researchers continue their work, they may achieve even greater results.
After Wang Xuan left, he entered another building, where he reaped even greater rewards: stacks of divine gold paper, quite thick and heavy, arranged in a long row.
These are actually cultivation techniques, scriptures, and the essence of the civilization of the Dao Control Banner!
Wang Xuan naturally attached great importance to it and was excited. Much later, he raised his head, his mind filled with images of countless scriptures.
This civilization is very powerful, especially skilled in crafting treasures. Initially, they borrowed the crafting techniques of past civilizations' treasures in an attempt to create their own treasure. However, they eventually discovered that the strange places in the Great Universe rifts had natural patterns and innate wonders. With a little crafting, the resulting treasure was even more astonishing—the Imperial Dao Spear!
This collection of cultivation scriptures also includes various methods of refining magical artifacts. In the eyes of this civilization, the two are considered equally important, with artifact refining and cultivation being equally important.
Not long after, Wang Xuan made an astonishing discovery in another building, mentioning the plan to regenerate the Dao Control Banner. Sure enough, it described the idea of having it draw upon Chaos Matter and transform various energy factors for its own use.
Unfortunately, the building was destroyed. It was a large laboratory where they had drawn up magic arrays and studied how to guide and stimulate the natural textures inside the treasure, but it caused a huge explosion.
The rules are drawn at will, and the simple description is the texture of order. This laboratory is somewhat terrifying. Unfortunately, it was already the End of the Supernatural Era. After it was destroyed, it was never rebuilt, and many manuscripts were lost.
"It's amazing, remarkable, and admirable. However, what about the flag?" Although Wang Xuan was very interested in the manuscripts and regarded them as extraordinary treasures, he cared more about the flag of the Dao Control Banner and came here for it.
Even if the scriptures, laboratories, and other things here no longer exist, it doesn't matter, as long as the first supreme treasure Dao Control Banner, can be reconstructed.
Wang Xuan searched for two days without success; he had searched the entire small area, but the flag was Ying to be found.
Finally, he took out a piece of Good Fortune True Crystal, reluctant to use more than necessary, otherwise he would not be able to leave this place and would have no "resources" to activate the Imperial Dao Spear on his return journey.
After a piece of true crystal burned, it only caused the Imperial Dao Spear to emit a faint light. However, it trembled on its own once again, the spear tip pointing downwards, and it revived on its own. With a bang, it pierced through the earth!
With a loud bang, the ground sank, and Wang Xuan fell into a vast Underground Palace.
He bet there was a connection between the flagpole and the flag, so activating the Imperial Dao Spear has now truly surprised him.
Overall, everything has gone smoothly since we set foot in the Chong the civilization where the Dao Control Banner is located.
The Underground Palace was very large, but it was empty. There were no special relics left, and only a few piles of bones were found, which would crumble into powder at the slightest touch.
Without a doubt, these are the few extremely powerful individuals who tried to leave this universe back then but suffered a crushing defeat and were lucky enough to survive. They were recuperating here, and as a result, even their bones have become so fragile under the erosion of time.
Here are the remains of the deceased, and the Sun Gold Stele, which describes this place as a land that nurtures supreme treasures. It has been arranged into a super magic array, gathering various strange energies from the fusion of Great Universe to give birth to the banner of the Dao Control Banner.
"In the Chaos Cave, the flag, with the help of various energies there, formed Supernatural Great Universe, nurturing the flag and allowing it to Nirvana Rebirth naturally."
However, the records mention that without proper preparation and sufficient strength, it is best not to act rashly, because the moment the Chaos Cave is opened, the flag may fly out instantly, and it may be impossible to stop it, as it will escape in an instant.
Even the Super Peerless might not be able to track its movements or see its shadow. It can slay gods and bodies, so it is impossible to lock onto it with one's primordial spirit, let alone subdue it with physical strength.
No matter how you look at it, it's quite tricky.
The inscription mentions that even if you come here carrying a flagpole, you will still encounter problems because the two have been separated for too long, and the flag is newly grown, so you may not recognize the Imperial Dao Spear.
Of course, if the flag's rebirth fails and it's abandoned, then there's not much more to say.
Wang Xuan frowned; this presented him with an enormous problem.
The inscription concludes by stating that if the flag is reborn, it means that the supreme and mysterious Chaos Cave has been "tamed" by it, and that it may evolve into a Good Fortune Land capable of nurturing all living beings.
