Although the master of the palace has passed away, there are still more than a dozen guards guarding the outside of the imperial palace.
After Ji Tianxing arrived at the imperial palace, the guards on both sides of the gate quickly saluted and opened the imperial palace gate.
Now in the emperor's palace, he is the most respected person by all the guards, the emperor's sons and the masters, and he is also everyone's default choice as the next master of the palace.
He stepped into the imperial palace, waved his hand, and closed the palace door.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the wide and dark hall, rows of lights lit up the walls on both sides.
The bright golden light illuminated the entire hall, making the ground and the red and gold-painted beams shine with golden light.
Ji Tianxing walked slowly around the walls around the hall, carefully observing the patterns and words on the four walls.
Although he has been to the Imperial Palace several times, he has never had the opportunity to observe these carefully.
Two quarters of an hour later, he observed the entire hall, but found nothing practical.
The patterns and words in the main hall are all written by the four races of humans, demons, water and demons thousands of years ago, and have nothing to do with the Shenwu Continent.
He left the main hall with some regret and walked deeper into the imperial palace.
Deep in the imperial palace, there are dozens of vacant rooms and secret rooms, which are dimly lit and covered with dust.
Ji Tianxing released his spiritual consciousness and carefully searched every room and secret room, looking for useful clues and information.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed.
He searched more than forty rooms and found nothing useful.
Even the secret room where he practiced in seclusion before, he searched carefully, but still found nothing.
There was only one last secret room left, protected by the soul formation, which he had not yet searched.
He knew that it was the exclusive secret room where the master of the palace lived and practiced.
Although the master of the palace didn't spend much time in the Imperial Palace, he always stayed in that secret room every time he returned to the Imperial Palace.
So, Ji Tian walked to the door of the secret room and used his kung fu to cast spells to break the formation.
The defensive array of this secret room was personally arranged by the master of the palace.
He inherited the master's secret knowledge and martial arts experience, so of course he knew how to crack it.
In less than half an hour, he cracked the defensive formation and opened the stone door of the secret room.
This secret room is not big, only ten feet in diameter.
The secret room was empty, except for a futon made of the finest spiritual jade placed on the open space in the middle.
In the corner of the secret room, there is a jade bed made of ten thousand years of cold jade.
In addition, there are many hidden compartments cut into the surrounding walls for storing things.
Ji Tianxing walked around the secret room, opening more than a dozen secret compartments one after another and looking at the contents inside.
Most of the secret rooms store some elixirs, array diagrams, and strange magic weapon fragments.
Ji Tianxing picked out a few soul-level divine elixirs from it, put them into the space ring, and kept them for future use.
In the last hidden secret room, he found a gray ancient book.
This ancient book is very thick, the corners and pages are worn and curled, and it has obviously been read frequently.
Full of expectation, he held the ancient book and began to read it.
However, there were some strange large characters written on the cover of the ancient book, which made him frown.
He thought about it for a while, but didn't recognize what the word was.
But he can be sure that those characters are neither the characters of the human, demon, water, or demon tribes, nor are they the seal characters of ancient times.
"Isn't this the text of Tianxuan Continent?"
This thought flashed through Ji Tianxing's mind, and his eyes suddenly froze, and he became more and more expectant.
He opened the ancient book and saw lines of small black characters written on the dark golden pages.
Those small characters are the same as the font on the cover, they are not the characters of Tianxuan Continent.
Ji Tianxing thought about it for a long time, but couldn't understand the meaning of these words.
So, he continued to read back.
Starting from the third page, some scattered human words appeared on the page.
The rows of small words, similar to notes and instructions, are distributed in the middle of the mysterious text.
Ji Tianxing suddenly showed a hint of joy and compared it with the human characters to learn to identify the mysterious characters.
Gradually, he was immersed in the ancient books and forgot about the passage of time.
Half an hour later, he could already identify hundreds of mysterious characters.
Only then did he finally understand that the words in this ancient book were indeed not the words of Tianxuan Continent, but the common words of Shenwu Continent!
"It turns out to be the writing of the Shenwu Continent! After the War of the Gods, the continents became incommunicable with each other. Of course, there will be differences in writing and language.
The master of the palace hid this book in the secret room, added annotations and transliterations, and often read it...
It seems that he was also learning the characters of Shenwu Continent before."
Ji Tianxing murmured silently, flipping through the ancient books carefully and attentively, comparing the palace master's annotations, and constantly identifying the characters of Shenwu Continent one after another.
Before I knew it, two days had passed.
In the past two days, he had been staying in the secret room and read the ancient book from beginning to end twice.
With his super photographic memory, he memorized the text content on more than two hundred pages of paper verbatim.
Moreover, through repeated speculation and study, he was able to recognize thousands of Shenwu Continent characters.
He can even imitate the pronunciation of Shenwu Continent and speak some simple and commonly used sentences.
This is a big gain for him.
At least, he already has a certain foundation. When he goes to Shenwu Continent in the future, he can learn and master the language of Shenwu Continent faster.
In addition, he also found a mysterious clue.
At the end of the ancient book, there is a mysterious mark as big as a fingernail.
The mark is oval in shape with more than thirty patterns on the edge, like a wreath or a coiled dragon and snake.
In the middle of the circle, there is a simple pattern of a sacred bird with a long neck and soaring wings.
This pattern is a bit abstract, and Ji Tianxing is not sure whether it is a divine bird pattern or some kind of weird symbol.
All in all, this mark seems very special and mysterious, and it definitely contains some kind of meaning.
Ji Tianxing pondered for a long time, but could not figure out the meaning of this mark.
He could only silently guess that this mysterious mark must be related to the Shenwu Continent.
It might be the secret code for the Palace Master to contact the Shenwu Continent, or it might be the emblem of that extremely powerful man or a certain force.
Ji Tianxing firmly memorized the appearance of the mysterious mark, exactly.
Then, he put the ancient book back into the secret room, turned around and left the secret room.
Apart from the words and mysterious emblems of Shenwu Continent, there are no clues in the imperial palace.
Ji Tianxing kept these things in mind and waited until he went to Shenwu Continent to continue investigating.
After a while, he returned to the main hall of the imperial palace.
Outside the door of the sacred and solemn hall, several priests in black robes were standing, waiting silently.
These six divine masters, headed by Master Black Feather, are the only remaining powerful men in the Imperial Palace.
Ji Tianxing asked the guards to open the door and led several divine masters into the hall.
Then, he announced to all the masters that he would appoint Master Black Feather as the new master of the palace.
