Battlefield of the Ancient Gods
Led by the Shadow Spider, Li Jingshu soon followed suit and entered the Startled Spirit Valley.
Last time, Li Jingshu accidentally captured the sounds of shouting and fighting coming from Startled Spirit Valley while adjusting the electromagnetic wave channel of the [Voice Transmission Talisman].
Driven by pure curiosity, and with a slight desire to prove himself to Li Boyang.
Li Jingshu found Startled Spirit Valley immediately and witnessed the Udumbara Flower ancient battlefield.
It was a scorched, devastating inferno, filled with towering flames and desperate cries of agony.
Unfortunately, Li Jingshu arrived too late.
The images and illusions in the Startled Spirit Valley only appear on specific thunderstorm days.
After the thunderstorm subsided, Startled Spirit Valley naturally returned to its original ordinary appearance.
Apart from the fact that no vegetation grows in the canyon, the Startled Spirit Valley looks exactly the same as the Sea of Trees outside.
At least in Xiao Gui's opinion, the Startled Spirit Valley showed absolutely no signs of being miraculous.
"It looks just like a regular canyon?"
Looking around warily, Xiao Gui controlled the shadow spiders to disappear underground.
Following the boundaries initially drawn up by Li Jingshu, Xiao Gui quickly found a giant mineral vein.
It was an iron ore deposit, but it was magnetized for some special reason, which led to the formation of the natural magnetite vein we see today.
"Is this mineral vein the key to the canyon's ability to capture sound and images?"
When Xiao Gui asked her question, Li Jingshu just kept staring at the compass in her hand as she answered.
"The canyon's unique structure, the magnetized iron ore, and the lightning during thunderstorms..."
"These are the basic conditions that enable Startled Spirit Valley to record sound and images."
Li Jingshu paused slightly at this point.
"But besides these basic conditions, there must be some secret hidden here."
It can help him cultivate Qi of Yin and Yang, but it will also actively reject the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels given to him by his younger brother.
Li Jingshu felt that the Startled Spirit Valley might not be as simple as just recording sounds and images; it must contain a greater secret.
"Wait, I think I've discovered something!"
Just then, Xiao Gui suddenly raised his voice to remind him.
Because she suddenly sensed her shadow spider disappearing at an incredible speed.
Boom!
In an instant, a huge explosion erupted from the once peaceful Startled Spirit Valley.
Due to the unique structure of Startled Spirit Valley, the originally not-so-loud explosion sound was refracted repeatedly through multiple layers, turning into a deafening thunderclap.
"It's that vein of ore! What's hidden in that vein!"
The shadow spiders' probing seems to have activated something within the ore vein.
Soon, Startled Spirit Valley, and the thunderclap turned into real lightning.
"It can actually activate celestial phenomena on its own?"
Looking up at the sky in astonishment, Li Jingshu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She originally thought that lightning during thunderstorms was a necessary condition for activating the sound and image recordings in Startled Spirit Valley.
But now it seems that Startled Spirit Valley itself possesses the power to summon thunder.
"Xiao Gui! Help me record all the current data for Startled Spirit Valley..."
"Record all the changes in wind direction, lightning, sound, and magnetic fields!"
Upon receiving Li Jingshu's order, Xiao Gui immediately jumped onto the Bronze Treasure Book.
Then, with the help of the Bronze Treasure Book, they began to carefully record the surrounding environmental data.
As for their safety?
Since Xiao Gui had decided to come to Startled Spirit Valley with Li Jingshu, she naturally decided to trust her wholeheartedly.
"I want to see what these images are!"
As thunder and lightning appeared in the sky above Startled Spirit Valley, screams and the sounds of swords clashing arrived as expected.
From the initial barely perceptible sound to a roar that gradually shatters eardrums...
Li Jingshu used all her strength to create a barrier to protect Xiao Gui and the Bronze Treasure Book, but she herself took the initiative to step out of the barrier.
Thus, Li Jingshu got her wish and felt a scorching heat.
It felt as if I were truly on an ancient battlefield from ten thousand years ago, with the afterimages around me resembling strange Ancient God.
These Ancient God are different from modern gods.
This difference is not only reflected in their distinct appearances, but also in their application of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Simple, rugged, yet with a grand scale...
The lingering images of ancient Ancient God gazed at the sky, unleashing various natural disasters with every gesture.
"Is the enemy... the sun?"
Although they couldn't see the enemy's appearance, they didn't know what these Ancient God were fighting.
But through the intense heat she personally experienced, and the afterimages of the Ancient God that seemed to be scorched and melted, Li Jingshu quickly made her own judgment.
After all, this world has no written history.
Having spent many years by Li Boyang's side, Li Jingshu has a thorough understanding of the "Ten Suns Appearing Simultaneously" that occurred ten thousand years ago.
"Even a mere shadow left over from ten thousand years ago... can have such a high temperature?"
Due to Li Boyang's influence, Li Jingshu's tolerance to high temperatures far exceeds that of normal humans.
The fact that she could feel the intense heat was enough to show just how high the remaining temperature was.
"So, how exactly did this Startled Spirit Valley come about?"
Ten thousand years ago, Startled Spirit Valley was not the canyon it is today.
Li Jingshu could clearly see the scorched, parched earth, and the cracked, lifeless soil.
The reason why only the figures of Ancient God can be seen on this ancient battlefield is not because these Ancient God have any high level of enlightenment.
On the contrary, these Ancient God were the last survivors of the ten days the earth was scorched by the sun.
Apart from them, there were practically no other living things left on this southern land.
Call out!
Just as Li Jingshu was pondering...
A piercing sound, transcending millennia, resounded with unparalleled clarity in her ears.
What followed was a series of roars and explosions, and the air itself was distorted by the intense heat.
"That's... the Golden Crow!?"
When the air is distorted to a certain extent...
The remaining Ancient God let out mournful cries, and in an instant, they became a black residue branded onto the rock.
This is the result of instantaneous carbonization at high temperatures, and also the nuclear explosion phenomenon produced when the Golden Crow fell.
Limited by the size of the Startled Spirit Valley, Li Jingshu was unable to witness the entire scene of the Golden Crow falling to the ground.
All she could see was a white arrow slicing through the sky, carrying the blood of the Golden Crow as it pierced deep into the earth.
Then, everything fell silent.
From Li Jingshu's perspective, she could clearly see the white arrow stuck diagonally in the ground.
The original complex terrain of Startled Spirit Valley was created by that arrow tearing the earth apart.
Those battlefield images from 10,000 years ago have been preserved to this day thanks to this unique topography.
