Beyond the black arched gate lay a graveyard spanning six or seven li, littered everywhere with shattered blank black stone tablets and rubble.
Many of the broken tablets bore deep gouges and holes as though clawed by sharp talons. At the very center of the graveyard stood a vast milky-white spiritual light barrier.
The spiritual light barrier was at least over two hundred zhang tall, covering an area five or six hundred zhang across.
Within the white spiritual light barrier was a hexagonal platform. The entire platform seemed to have been carved from a single piece of yellow crystal, covered with countless rune patterns, though they could not be seen clearly through the white spiritual light barrier.
Above the platform stood a black crystal pillar and a white crystal stele.
The black crystal pillar was slightly taller, roughly the height of three Wei Suos stacked together, and as thick as an adult's waist. The white crystal stele was about two and a half Wei Suos tall.
Rings of black radiance, like rippling water, continuously flowed from the black crystal pillar, while the white crystal stele emitted only a faint white glow.
On the platform, before the black crystal pillar and white crystal stele, lay a silver corpse.
From afar, the silver corpse looked like a cultivator, but upon closer inspection, it was shockingly a bizarre humanoid demon beast covered from head to toe in silver scales!
Aside from being covered in silver scales, having long silver hair, and possessing a somewhat narrow mouth with two sharp fangs protruding from it, this humanoid demon beast looked exactly like a human in every other respect.
Yet what shocked and horrified Wei Suo and the others most was not the black crystal pillar, white crystal stele, or bizarre silver corpse on the platform,
