When they were about to leave the cave, they suddenly discovered that there was a huge stone door deep in the cave! This stone door exudes a mysterious light as if telling some ancient story...
"What is this?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.
"I don't know." Jade Pool Saintess shook his head, "But I feel that this stone gate may hide a bigger secret..."
"Then should we go in and take a look?" Gu Sheng asked hesitantly.
Jade Pool Saintess took a deep breath and said firmly, "Now that we have come here, we cannot give up halfway! No matter what difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we must face them bravely!"
When Gu Sheng heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He held Jade Pool Saintess's hand tightly, "Okay! Let's go in and take a look together!"
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess walked into the Shimen Maze hand in hand, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere hit their faces. The light in the maze is dim, but the two of them have advanced cultivation and can see things like daylight even in the dark.
"This seems to be a maze." Gu Sheng said, looking around.
"Well, we have to be careful." Jade Pool Saintess reminded, her voice echoing in the empty maze, with a hint of mystery and distance.
The two people moved forward cautiously. Suddenly, there was a strange noise, and many small holes suddenly appeared in the surrounding walls. Then, arrows shot out of the holes, pointing directly at them!
"Be careful!" Gu Sheng shouted, pulling Jade Pool Saintess to quickly avoid it. The arrows passed by, narrowly avoiding them.
"There is actually a mechanism here!" Jade Pool Saintess said in surprise.
A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, "No matter what mechanism it is, it can't stop us from moving forward!" After saying that, he turned Gale Nine Swords, moving through the maze like the wind, knocking down the arrows one by one with every swing of his sword.
Jade Pool Saintess was not to be outdone. She performed the Jade Pool Sacred Realm technique, and every attack was accompanied by the fairyland vision of Yaochi. She waved her jade hand lightly, and pieces of colorful petals fell from the air, crushing the incoming arrows one by one.
The two went hand in hand and quickly passed the first level. However, there is still a long road ahead, and they know that the challenges ahead will be even more difficult.
They continue to go deeper into the maze, and gradually find that the maze seems to have a life of its own, and they may encounter new traps and challenges at every turn. But the two relied on their extraordinary cultivation and tacit cooperation to save themselves from danger time and time again.
They reached the depths of the maze. I saw a huge stone door in front of me, which was covered with ancient runes and patterns. These runes and patterns emit a faint light, as if they are telling some ancient story.
"It seems like this is the last level." Gu Sheng said.
Jade Pool Saintess nodded, "We have to be careful, this stone gate may hide powerful enemies."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then got ready to fight. They knew that the coming battle would be decisive.
Just when they were about to push the stone door open, the stone door suddenly opened on its own! A powerful aura surged out from the door, and then a tall figure walked out of it. This is a mysterious man in black robes, with a ferocious mask on his face, exuding a powerful aura.
"Hahaha! You two juniors are finally here! It really made me wait!" Black Robe Man said with a sinister smile.
"Who are you? Why do you want to stop us?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.
"Hmph! You two juniors are not qualified to know my identity!" Black Robe Man said with a cold snort, "But since you have already made it here, let me show you my true power!" After saying this, he flashed his body and launched a fierce attack on Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess!
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess were well prepared, and they joined forces to resist Black Robe Man's attack. I saw Gu Sheng running Gale Nine Swords and Carefree Immortal Step, with his body like the wind shuttling around Black Robe Man. Every time he swung his sword, he pointed directly at Black Robe Man's vital point.
Jade Pool Saintess used the Jade Pool Sacred Realm technique, and pieces of colorful petals flew out of her hands, neutralizing Black Robe Man's attacks one by one.
Black Robe Man couldn't help being furious when he saw this, "You two juniors dare to go against me! You are really looking for death!" He dodged Gu Sheng's attack, and then slapped Jade Pool Saintess with a palm! This palm contains powerful power, as if it can destroy all obstacles!
Just when his palm was about to touch Jade Pool Saintess, Gu Sheng suddenly appeared from the side and stabbed his wrist with a sword! Black Robe Man was taken aback and quickly stopped to avoid it. But Gu Sheng's swordsmanship was so exquisite. There was only a soft "puff" sound, and Black Robe Man's wrist was pierced by Gu Sheng's sword! Suddenly blood dripped!
"Ah!"
Black Robe Man screamed and took a few steps back. He stared angrily at Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess, "How dare you two juniors hurt me! I will make you pay the price!"
After saying this, he flashed his body and launched another fierce attack on the two of them! But Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess already had experience. They worked together to resist Black Robe Man's attacks and gradually found his flaws.
After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess finally severely damaged Black Robe Man! I saw Black Robe Man falling to the ground and groaning in pain, having lost his fighting power.
And Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess were also panting from exhaustion.
When they were about to leave the Shimen Maze, Gu Sheng suddenly discovered a stone tablet in the center of the Shimen Maze.
This stone tablet is engraved with ancient runes and patterns. These runes and patterns emit a faint light, as if telling some ancient story.
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess approached the stone stele curiously, and saw a passage engraved on the stone stele. "The secret of Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine is hidden deep in the maze. Those who are not destined to see it cannot see it, and those who see it will be blessed with great blessings."
The two looked at each other, as if they didn't see any big secret or great blessing.
"Is there any secret inside?"
Gu Sheng turned around and planned to look back. Jade Pool Saintess saw what Gu Sheng meant. She had this intention and wanted to stay with Gu Sheng for a while longer.
Once she returns to Jade Pool Holy Land, she has to become her own Jade Pool Saintess again and keep the proper distance from Gu Sheng.
"Then let's go in and check. We were just dealing with the hidden arrows and Black Robe Man, and we didn't pay any attention to exploring the opportunities inside."
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess looked at each other, with expectations and curiosity about the unknown in their eyes. The two re-entered this mysterious and ancient maze, determined to explore the ancient secrets hidden in the depths.
"This place seems a little different from before." Gu Sheng looked around and said with a frown.
"Well, it does have a strange atmosphere." Jade Pool Saintess agreed softly, her expression was solemn, and she obviously felt that this place was unusual.
The two of them moved forward cautiously, and soon encountered an ancient remnant soul. After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated the remnant soul and reached the deepest part of the maze.
There, they found an ancient tombstone, engraved with traces of time. Gu Sheng stepped forward and carefully looked at the words on the tombstone, but found that he could not read them.
"These words seem to be encrypted by some kind of power." Jade Pool Saintess said softly. She also tried to decipher the secrets on the tombstone, but to no avail.
At this moment, Gu Sheng noticed that there seemed to be blood stains on the corner of the tombstone. He reached out to touch it, but accidentally cut his finger on the edge of the tombstone. A drop of blood fell on the tombstone and disappeared instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the tombstone began to emit a faint light, and an ancient image slowly emerged. The first thing that appeared in the picture were two babies, one of which was the baby girl Shi Ling they had cut out before. The scene gradually regressed, and the two babies turned into a beautiful couple - Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling.
Zhan Fengyun is holding Jade Maiden Seven-Colored Sword, looking heroic; Shi Ling is dressed in white and beats the snow, with a rainbow surrounding her, like a fairy descending to earth. The two of them were fighting against a murderous general surrounded by black energy - Xiao Moshen.
The picture of Primordial Battlefield shocked Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess. They saw corpses and bloody scenes strewn all over the ground, as well as the ruins left behind after the fights between the former gods. All this shows the cruelty and tragedy of that era.
"Is this Primordial Battlefield?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, "It's so tragic."
"Well," Jade Pool Saintess sighed, "People in that era fought for survival and paid a huge price."
In the screen, Zhan Fengyun, Shi Ling and Xiao Moshen started a fierce battle. The battle between the three was extremely fierce, and every confrontation seemed to tear the void apart. Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling cooperated tacitly, and the power of the two swords combined was astonishing; while Xiao Moshen relied on the halberd in his hand and the surrounding black energy to resist.
As time goes by, Xiao Moshen gradually loses to the two people joining forces. At this moment, a black tombstone suddenly appeared behind him. The tombstone is surrounded by a black cloud, exuding boundless power. This power seems to be able to destroy all living things.
The image fell into darkness at this moment... When the image became clear again, Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess were surprised to find that the battlefield had disappeared, replaced by desolation and ruin.
"What happened?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.
"That black tombstone..." Jade Pool Saintess seemed to have thought of something, "Is it the legendary 'Death God's Tombstone'? It is said that it can swallow the soul and power of all living things."
Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this, "If that's true, then wouldn't Zhan Fengyun and Shi Ling..."
The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes. They know that this ancient secret may hide more mysteries and crises. In order to explore the truth and prevent possible disasters, they decided to continue to investigate the maze and the mysterious "Death God's Tombstone".
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess stood in the depths of the maze. The "Death God's Tombstone" in front of them was emitting a faint black light, like a bottomless black hole, swallowing up all the light around it.
They were about to leave this place full of mystery and danger. Suddenly, the entire maze began to shake violently, as if a powerful force was surging underground.
"No, there's a situation!" Gu Sheng held Jade Maiden Seven-Colored Sword tightly and looked around solemnly.
Jade Pool Saintess also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. The Jade Pure Bottle in her hand began to shine with dazzling light, ready to deal with the upcoming crisis at any time.
The roar continued and the vibrations became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a huge gap opened underneath "Death God's Tombstone", and a powerful and suffocating breath rushed out of it, straight into the sky. This aura was so powerful that it seemed to be able to tear apart the void, making the entire Central Continent continent tremble.
As the crack widened, a huge figure gradually emerged. It was a Primordial Creature that had been suppressed by "Death God's Tombstone" for countless years. It exuded a terrifying aura and its eyes were shining with bloodthirsty light. Its appearance seems to herald the coming of destruction.
"What kind of creature is this? It's so powerful!" Gu Sheng exclaimed.
"I don't know, but we must leave here immediately." Jade Pool Saintess felt that the aura of destruction was approaching. She knew that if they did not leave immediately, their lives would be in danger.
The two figures flashed and quickly rushed towards the exit of the maze. However, that powerful aura followed them like a shadow, as if it would swallow them up at any time.
Just when they were about to break out of the maze, a loud voice sounded over the Central Continent continent, "Who dares to disturb my sleep! I will make you pay the price!"
This voice was full of majesty and anger, making all living beings tremble. Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess felt an unprecedented sense of oppression coming over them, as if there was a big mountain pressing on their hearts.
They knew that this was the roar of Primordial Creature. If discovered by it, they would probably be destroyed instantly. Therefore, they did not dare to stop and rushed out of the maze as quickly as possible.
When they stood outside Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine again, looking back at the mysterious and dangerous maze, their hearts were filled with fear. They knew that they were lucky to escape and ascend to heaven this time.
Subsequently, a large number of strong men came from all directions Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine. They were all attracted by the powerful aura. When they arrived, the aura disappeared.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
After the two walked out of the secret realm of Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, they returned to Jade Pool Holy Land for repairs.
Now Gu Sheng's status in Jade Pool Holy Land has long been extraordinary. Even Ji Pingping, the guardian elder, does not dare to complain anymore.
He can now freely enter and leave Jade Pool Saintess and Star Gazing Courtyard, which is a unique honor.
Gu Sheng and Jade Pool Saintess returned from the secret realm of Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, still carrying some dust and fatigue from Primordial Battlefield.
The moment they stepped into Jade Pool Holy Land, all fatigue seemed to be washed away.
"Gu Sheng, you're back!" Su Yao's sharp eyes were the first to spot Gu Sheng's figure, and he happily greeted him.
"Well, I'm back." Gu Sheng responded with a smile. His eyes wandered over Su Yao, Qin Xuan and other fairies, and finally settled on Jade Pool Saintess. "This trip to the secret realm has been fruitful."
"Oh? What have you gained? Share it with us!" Elder Ziwei also heard the sound and came over. She is a charming middle-aged woman with endless charm flowing between her eyebrows.
Gu Sheng and Saintess looked at each other and smiled, and then said, "We found a lot of secrets about Primordial Battlefield in Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, as well as the legends of those mysterious tombstones..."
