Chapter 992: 992

The Dark Continent was the most famous destination for treasure-seeking and adventures in the Three Middle Realms . Like other forbidden lands in the Nine Realms, there were infinite possibilities here . Putting the legendary treasure-hunting sites aside, there were many spiritual herbs and even holy herbs that could be found living in the forbidden lands . If anyone found one of those herbs, it could be sold at a sky-high price .

In addition to the herbs, there were also many precious animals living here . And, due to all kinds of charming stories about relics, treasures, tombs, and so forth, there were always people exploring in the forbidden lands .

… . .

Jiang Chen was standing in a valley . Although this place was shady all year long, it was green with all kinds of plants growing . The majority of the plants here would never be seen in other places . Jiang Chen could see with his Eye of Heaven that traces of digging were everywhere . Many bottomless holes led deep underground .

This place was called the Star Falling Valley . The landform was created by the falling of a meteorite a long time ago . Throughout history, people were always finding treasures here . For this reason, it became the most popular place on the Dark Continent .

The Star Falling Valley was also the place where Jiang Chen’s inheritance had guided him .

So, the Title Palace can only sense where the treasures are, but it can’t guarantee that others won’t beat me to them? Jiang Chen thought this seemed to be a reasonable explanation . However, thinking it over, he was fairly sure such things had never happened since the Title Palace had come into existence .

Jiang Chen was reluctant to give up . He searched every corner with the Eye of Heaven . He even looked into the caves . However, he found nothing . The instructions of the inheritance could not tell him an accurate position either . Neither could it give him any hint . Jiang Chen had to figure it out by himself .

This is the most popular place . It was thoroughly searched a long time ago .

Jiang Chen took his formation disk out to look for any possible trace of small worlds, trying everything he could . Unfortunately, success would not come so easily . The treasure-seeking devices Jiang Chen had made did not work either .

No wonder this place is so easy to find . Jiang Chen was annoyed . If it were a dangerous place, difficult to find, as long as he could arrive there, he would definitely find something . However, at the moment, he was already at his wits’ end .

So, I guess have to go underground . Emitting the evil flame, Jiang Chen charged down . The fire melted the soil and a hole showed up . Jiang Chen descended 600 miles in an instant . Then the resistance became stronger and stronger . Unwilling to give up, Jiang Chen descended 600 miles more . At this point, he felt as if he was in a place made of iron . Even the evil flame could not melt the soil to open a way for him . It was because the soil here was full of minerals like gravel, which actually formed a defense belt .

“Jiang Chen, it will be dangerous if you keep going down . ” Azure Demon could not help but remind him .

If you kept flying up, you would enter the Milky Way . For the same reason, if you kept going down, you would arrive in the nether world . Of course, it was still a pending question whether the nether world existed or not, because no one had ever come back from that underground world .

Oh?

The bronze fragments he was carrying responded to something as Jiang Chen was hesitating . He was cheered up, because it meant there were more fragments underground . It also meant his inheritance was right here . Besides the fragments, there were other treasures .

He decided to take the risk and keep going . He was on tenterhooks, but so far no real danger had happened .

The fragments of the bronze cauldron were reacting more and more strongly . It meant the inheritance was getting closer and closer . All of a sudden, Jiang Chen found the temperature was increasing rapidly . He even started to sweat . Fortunately, high temperature was the last thing he was afraid of .

Soon, he felt as if he were in a sea of fire—as if he had opened an underground door . In a spacious area, there was a giant globe emitting orange flames . The globe was very erratic and the liquid flames were splashing everywhere .

At the same time, the inheritance instruction in Jiang Chen’s body was becoming clearer and clearer . He approached the globe gradually and found it was the core of a star .

The hearsay is true?

The Star Falling Valley was created by the falling of a meteorite . It looked as if it was not an average meteorite . It was a real star .

The core of the star was buried deep underground .

However, Jiang Chen did not see any fragment of the bronze cauldron . Neither did he find any trace of the inheritance . The core of the star was a mysterious energy body . It looked brilliant, but since it did not belong to this world, its energy could not be put to use .

Could they be inside it?

Jiang Chen could not help but walk toward the core of star, letting the flames splash onto his body . When he could see nothing but flames, Jiang Chen felt as if he was walking in a passage . He walked and walked, and at some point the high temperature disappeared . He heard wind whooshing . Jiang Chen was not prepared for the great change in the landscape in front of him at all .

He had come to Cloud Nine directly from the deep underground . Before him were endless clouds, thousands of golden lights, the red glow from the sun, and the brilliant purple glow of the sunset . There was a splendid palace in the clouds, seemingly built from glass and precious jade .

Shocked by what he was seeing, Jiang Chen flew over . Even though he had had myriad experiences and traveled all over the many worlds . he had never seen such a place before . The buildings were magnificent . The decorations and the details were delicate . The giant pillars rising into the clouds had red dragons with golden scales entwined on them . However, he did not see any people .

When he was going to land in the palace, everything suddenly disappeared . He went back to the deep underground again . The core of the star before him Soon, the core of star was only as big as a fist .

Jiang Chen knew clearly that the core of the star had actually been absorbed by something and that was what the swirling was about . It was a painting that had absorbed the core of the star, and it was floating in the air .

When the core of the star had been completely absorbed, something showed up in the blank space on the painting . Jiang Chen went closer and found it was the Heavenly Palace where he had been! It turned out he had entered a painting .

Is this the inheritance of the Invincible God of War?

Jiang Chen reached out for the Painting of the Heavenly Palace . He felt relieved after confirming nothing unexpected had happened . Next, he certainly would like to figure out what the use of the painting was .

The underground world was quite depressing, so Jiang Chen went back to the overground world with the Painting of the Heavenly Palace . Everything looked peaceful . Nothing had changed during his exploration in the underground world .

Jiang Chen intended to use the same way to study The Painting of the Heavenly Palace . He wanted to enter the painting again . However, he could not enter it . Then an idea occurred to him . He tried to calm down, with his eyes shut . When he opened his eyes, he was in the Heavenly Palace again .

I see . Only the soul can enter here . My physical body is still outside .

Tumbling to the secret, Jiang Chen let the eight groups of spiritual beings protect his physical body, while he started to explore the Heavenly Palace . Whenever he wanted to land in the Heavenly Palace, he would fail . His soul would retreat from the palace automatically . Jiang Chen could only observe it from a distance .

“The Celestial Land is supported by nine layers of floating clouds . Celestial islands stand in great numbers . Clouds keep floating up . ” Somehow, this description he had read in a book suddenly occurred to him . What he was seeing was not completely the same as the description in the book, but it was quite similar .

Is this the Sacred Ground on the Celestial Land?!

The Sacred Ground on the Celestial Land really exists?

Jiang Chen came up with two contradictory questions, totally shocked . People who knew him well could imagine this so-called Sacred Ground on the Celestial Land must be very special .
