Chapter 1021: Watching the Sky and Reading the World Records
That ancient palace has obviously gone through thousands of years.
The walls and stone surfaces were mottled and peeled off, leaving huge gaps.
The octagonal cornices of the palace were originally exquisite and beautiful, but now they are in pieces, with several corners even broken.
Ji Tianxing used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that there was still a large formation protecting the palace.
Although, the power of that great formation has been weakened to the extreme.
But it was a soul-level formation after all, and even if it only had 10% of its power, it was not something he could easily break.
The palace door was closed tightly, and an invisible formation shield enveloped the entire palace.
The huge square was paved with precious azure jade and happened to be square, like a huge chessboard.
On the ground of the square, dark golden bricks and stones are used to lay out criss-crossing lines.
This square with a radius of two hundred meters is indeed a huge chessboard.
There are more than a dozen chess pieces placed on the 'chessboard', which are more than a dozen stone sculptures as tall as a person.
Some are carved into lions, some into tigers, and some into cheetahs, giant elephants and flying eagles.
Although each stone sculpture is lifelike, the carved animals look vivid.
However, these stone carvings have experienced too long and are mottled and full of cracks.
There are two piles of gray gravel scattered on the edges of the east and west sides of the square.
Ji Tianxing observed for a moment and found that they were many fragments of animal stone sculptures, and they had been crushed by humans.
"It seems that the owner of Dongshan Residence used the square as a chessboard and played chess here.
He was playing a beast chess game from ancient times. I had seen it in ancient books before. It was a chess game that was fierce in killing and contained the truth of heaven and earth and martial arts.
Up to now, the ancient beast chess has been lost for many years, and there are only a few people who still know how to play it.
I don’t know who the master of Dongshan Residence is playing chess with? What is the final outcome?”
Ji Tianxing stood in the square, staring at the few dozen chess pieces left on the chessboard. After observing them for a long time, he still couldn't understand them clearly.
In desperation, he could only put down the beast chess pieces in advance and walked across the square towards the palace gate.
The ancient bronze door has long been rusty, and even the door knocker and the mythical animals carved on the door have been corroded and damaged.
He stood under the gate, opened his Suxin Dharma Eyes, used his spiritual sense to carefully observe the formation, and thought about how to solve it.
One day, two days, three days...
Ji Tianxing was immersed in the wonder of the Yuan Shen level formation, thinking hard about how to crack it, and even forgot about the passage of time.
Soon, five days passed.
It wasn't until the early morning of the sixth day that he woke up from a dream and closed his eyes.
Then, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes became clear and firm, filled with a hint of joy.
He slowly stretched out his hands, with golden light surging in his palms. He waved his palms to create arcs of light, condensing mysterious patterns and pouring them into the bronze door.
After repeating this for hundreds of times, he was exhausted and most of his energy was consumed.
The bronze door lit up with a dim golden light. After shaking slightly for a few times, it slowly opened to both sides.
"Great! After thousands of years, the Yuan Shen level formation has weakened so much that I can actually break it with my own hands. It's incredible!"
His heart was full of excitement and excitement, and he was proud of his formation attainments.
After the bronze door opened, he couldn't wait to step through the door and enter the palace to see what was going on.
Behind the gate is a vast courtyard.
Originally, the courtyard should have clean ground, wide stone paths, and flowerbeds with rare spiritual trees and spiritual flowers and plants.
However, the courtyard today is filled with dust, which has condensed into hard soil.
Only soil and floating ash are left in the flowerbed, and the spiritual trees and exotic flowers have long since turned into ashes and melted into the soil.
Ji Tianxing walked through the courtyard and walked towards the main hall, thinking: "This Dongshan Residence should be the secluded cave of a strong man thousands of years ago.
Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, the hidden powerful man may have passed away long ago even if he had the power to reach the gods.
I only hope that this peerless powerful man can leave behind some secret techniques or rare treasures in his cave, so that my risk-taking trip here will not be in vain."
After a while, he arrived at the door of the hall and reached out to push open the heavy door.
What was slightly embarrassing was that the gate made of refined star iron was too heavy. When he pushed the gate, he pushed the gate too hard, knocking the two gates to the ground and smashing them into the main hall with a 'bang'.
The entire door frame was rotten, and the two refined star iron gates, which weighed one hundred thousand kilograms, dug two large craters into the floor of the hall and cracked numerous gaps.
"Refined star iron! It is also a precious material for refining soul-level magic weapons. The owner of Dongshan Residence actually used it as a gate. It is a waste of natural resources!"
Ji Tianxing sighed in his heart, and with the mentality of being thrifty and not wasting money, he lifted up the two doors and put them into the space ring.
Then, he carefully looked at the dimly lit hall.
The layout in the spacious hall is very simple.
Except for the six vermilion and gilded beams that support the dome, there are only a few stone sculptures in the main hall and a few landscape murals on the walls.
Apart from this, there is not even a throne in the main hall, only a futon made of Heavenly Fire Jade, placed on the first seat of the main hall, covered by thick dust.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand to push away the thick dust, and the futon reappeared in the sky, glowing red and emitting turbulent and violent power.
There is no doubt that this priceless futon has become his treasure.
He walked around the hall and found no valuable treasures, so he left the hall through the side door and entered a study.
This study is very spacious and bright, with simple and elegant decoration and lofty artistic conception.
Of course, after thousands of years, no matter how elegant a study, it becomes dim and ordinary after being covered with thick dust.
Moreover, the floor and walls were cracked and peeled, and several stone bookshelves were broken.
Many books neatly placed on the bookshelves have long since corroded into ashes.
The ground was littered with gravel, covered with ashes and broken and weathered pages, which turned into dust when blown by the breeze.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing sighed inwardly: "Oh, originally I wanted to find some clues from the study room to understand the owner of Dongshan Residence.
Unexpectedly, the study has long been corroded and decayed, and no matter what book it is, it will turn into dust after thousands of years."
He shook his head in disappointment and was about to turn around and leave.
However, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark golden box buried in a pile of rubble in the corner of the wall.
He picked up the metal box that looked like a small treasure box, and after opening it, he saw a black ancient book inside.
The ancient books are not made of paper, but are made of some kind of metal that is as cold as ice and made of special material.
On the cover of the black ancient book, there are five dark golden ancient seal characters.
Observe the sky and read the records of the world!
