As Ji Zining stepped through the palace gates, she felt as if she were being watched.
After a slight pause, Ji Zining continued forward.
This is the only way out, Ji Zining was absolutely certain.
Although the feeling of being visited was unsettling, given the circumstances, she had no choice but to follow the instructions given by the Immortal-Gazing Art."
Aside from this portal, the only thing awaiting them upon entering the other portals was endless crisis.
This portal might have some issues, but it shouldn't be fatal, otherwise the Immortal-Gazing Art wouldn't have directed her this way.
After all, the person she had just used the Immortal-Gazing Art to calculate was the one lying inside the black coffin.
According to his memory, this portal was the most secure.
Xiao Jing and the others followed closely into the gate. Like Ji Zining, they all froze when they sensed that they were being watched.
But when they realized that Ji Zining didn't seem to care about being watched, they forced themselves to ignore it and followed closely behind Ji Zining.
After passing through the portal, Ji Zining and the others arrived at a long corridor.
As Ji Zining walked forward, her gaze shifted and landed on the wall of the passageway.
On the wall, there were some blurry and indistinct images that were not clearly visible.
Looking at these images, Ji Zining couldn't help but frown.
Although she couldn't see it clearly, Ji Zining could still tell that these images were about demonic beasts.
The parts that are clearly visible are mostly animal claws and heads, which are extremely ferocious.
Lin Shan stared at the blurry mural on the wall and exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't these things look familiar? Like you've seen them somewhere before?"
Xiao Jing, Li Chang'an, and Qingshuang hadn't paid much attention at first, but after hearing Lin Shan's words, they all showed thoughtful expressions.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining stopped in her tracks, a look of inquiry on her face.
These beast claws and heads look familiar? Why doesn't she recognize them at all?
Suddenly, Xiao Jing slapped his forehead, looking as if he had just realized something.
"Isn't this the Lightning Spirit Beast? Except for the color, it's almost identical!"
Lightning Spirit Beast?
Upon hearing Xiao Jing's words, Li Chang'an and Qingshuang both showed expressions of understanding.
Now that you mention it, it really does seem to be the Lightning Spirit Beast.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining's expression hardened, and she quickly walked forward for a distance, but then suddenly stopped when she passed a certain place.
Because the images appearing here are different from the previous ones!
The previous images exuded a sense of power and might; these new images, while less powerful, have gained a touch of danger.
Whether it's the beast's head or its claws, they should be even sharper.
"Come and take a look at this. What do these animal images look like?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others quickly came to Ji Zining's side.
They all lowered their heads and fell into deep thought, gazing at the new images on the wall.
After a moment, Li Chang'an said in a deep voice.
"These animal claws and heads are too blurry to identify exactly what they are."
"However, I can guess that there is a species that is very similar to them: the Crimson Serpent Beast!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingshuang raised an eyebrow.
" The Crimson Serpent Beast? Is it the Crimson Serpent Beast from the Extreme Yang Valley, which is designated as a place of opportunity within this Martial Emperor Secret Realm?"
Extreme Yang Valley!
Upon hearing this name, both Xiao Jing and Lin Shan began to recall the appearance of the Crimson Serpent Beast in Extreme Yang Valley.
Having visited the Martial Emperor Secret Realm several times, they were familiar with the Extreme Yang Valley, but they had only been there once and were not very familiar with it.
Li Chang'an nodded firmly.
"That's right, it's the Crimson Serpent Beast from Extreme Yang Valley! I can't think of any other species besides it!"
At this moment, Xiao Jing and Lin Shan exchanged a glance and then nodded.
Based on their recollections, they discovered that the physical characteristics of the Crimson Serpent Beast did indeed somewhat match the blurry image on the mural.
Ji Zining glanced at everyone's faces and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
That's getting interesting.
Inside the large tomb in this Ancient Chaos Graveyard, there are actually carvings of the Lightning Spirit Beast from the Extreme Thunder Valley and the Crimson Serpent Beast from the Extreme Yang Valley.
Does this mean that the large tomb in the Ancient Chaos Graveyard appeared later than those in Extreme Thunder Valley and Extreme Yang Valley?
Otherwise, there's no way to explain how the murals of the Lightning Spirit Beast and the Crimson Serpent Beast could appear here.
Ji Zining looked ahead at the long tunnel, her eyes flashing with divine light.
With such a long passageway, will the images that appear later be different from those here?
Could this Ancient Chaos Graveyard have depicted all the strange creatures from the Martial Emperor Secret Realm here?
Xiao Jing and the others also sensed something was wrong, and their eyes focused on Ji Zining, awaiting instructions.
Ji Zining withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly.
"We split up and examined the images on the walls of the passageway ahead."
"If we discover that the carvings above depict other beings existing within the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, we'll probably have to be more careful from now on."
The later it exists, the less likely the mechanisms and restrictions inside have become ineffective, and its power remains.
In places like this, they must be extremely careful!
After all, what they were doing was something akin to tomb raiding, not child's play.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others nodded solemnly and then transformed into streaks of light, heading towards the front of the passageway.
A moment later, a series of slightly solemn sounds emanated from within the passageway.
" Your Divine Son Hall, the image here is different; it depicts the Tree God Clan existing in the Ten-Thousand-Li Bamboo Forest, a place of opportunity within the Martial Emperor Secret Realm!"
" Your Divine Son Hall, I've also discovered something here: Geng Metal Giant Demon from the dangerous Sword Qi Wasteland, has appeared!"
" Your Divine Son Hall, we have discovered something else..."
" His Divine Son Hall..."
As Ji Zining heard the incessant sounds around her, her expression grew increasingly grave.
In a short while, almost every species that could exist in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm appeared.
This is indeed a rather strange thing.
If it weren't for the fact that this passageway connected to the Gate of Life, Ji Zining would have thought she was trapped in an illusion.
Who exactly owns this Ancient Chaos Graveyard?
Why are you so free to carve all the living creatures and species that exist in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm onto the walls?
What is the purpose of doing this?
Just because it looks good?
Ji Zining shook her head.
It's probably not that simple. It seems we need to continue exploring to find out more.
Sure enough, Ji Zining's desire to explore and learn was immediately ignited.
Doing it this way, she's no longer sleepy!
Finally, Ji Zining and the others passed through the passageway with murals depicting different races and arrived at a brand new hall.
Aside from the murals on the walls and the feeling of being watched when they first entered, Ji Zining and her group did not encounter any accidents throughout the entire process.
Inside the dimly lit hall.
Ji Zining looked back at the passageway and let out a long breath.
"Be careful from now on; this could escalate into an unexpected danger at any moment."
Xiao Jing and the others nodded solemnly.
Based on their experience, they naturally understood these principles; in fact, they were on high alert from the moment they entered the passageway.
They can act immediately at the slightest sign of anything unusual!
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Jing asked the question.
" Your Divine Son Hall, what are your thoughts on the murals in the passageway we just saw?"
Upon hearing this, the others also showed expressions of curiosity.
They wanted to ask that question too, but hadn't had the chance.
Ji Zining grinned upon hearing this.
"What ideas? What ideas could I possibly have? If anything seems amiss, just go for it!"
It's simply a matter of dealing with whatever comes our way; we'll investigate and be cautious, but that doesn't mean we should cower in fear!
The murals are abnormal, but they are not something they need to worry about too much.
What they need to worry about most right now is this unknown palace they've never been to before!
