Chapter 34: Xuanlong Dynasty

Although there is a big lake surrounded by rippling water, the stone platform is very dry. The first stone platform is basically sitting upright. Only dry bones or mummies are left after a long time. None of them are festering, and some seem to have not come in for too long and their skin is slightly elastic.

Xiang Yang was brave. Although this situation was a bit creepy, it did not cause much impact on him. He was very interested and checked the bodies, but did not find anything. Not to mention the Sumeru Ring, he had not even seen a magic weapon.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing a little. He was really too pretentious. Although these were all immortal cultivators, he was not the first one to come here. The stone platforms in front were not fools, so he would naturally search. Where would there be something left on the first stone platforms? Unless the first few had not completed the first trial, there might be a fish that could escape the net. But now it seems that he doesn't have this good luck.

I stood up and watched from a distance. The distribution of corpses on these stone platforms was very interesting. The second stone platform had the most corpses, and then it decreased in turn. At the sixth stone platform, there were more than the fourth and fifth ones. On the seventh stone platform, there were only one person alone, and on the eighth stone platform, it was empty.

It seems that only by reaching the seventh stone platform can you gain a great reward... But none of the so many immortal cultivators can reach the eighth stone platform. Can they do it themselves? And there is a pyramid-shaped building behind it. Logically speaking, it is the ultimate trial place, and the difficulty can be imagined.

But now we can only take one step at a time.

At this time, Xiang Yang missed his treasure stone extremely much. Although he didn't know what it could be used here, there was also a soul seal of a master of the Nascent Soul stage, which could at least help him out. Moreover, for Xiang Yang, it was considered his lucky charm, and it would be much more at ease with it.

After checking all the corpses, Xiang Yang was surprised to find that a dozen of them were strange. The clothes they wore were exactly the same, all of them were apricot yellow robes and a golden dragon emblem on their chests. However, the situation of these corpses was different. Some were already dry bones, and the other ones had been dead for many years and had become mummy corpses at first glance, but some were preserved in great integrity and their faces were still vivid.

After confirming each other with the previous statement, Xiang Yang became more and more sure that there must be more than one entrance to the immortal site. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why there were so many corpses, nor why such coincidences occurred. This may only be because a sect of immortal cultivation discovered one of the entrances and often sent people to come.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but worry. What would it be like if he happened to be in the trial and another trialist came in? Thinking of this, he decided to spend some time first to review the jade slips for making talismans, refining weapons, and alchemy in his Sumeru Ring, and then enter the second stone platform. Otherwise, if he really bumped into another immortal cultivator, if others had bad intentions, he would probably suffer a loss with his current Qi-induced cultivation stage.

*******

In the east of the Shanhai Continent, there is a huge force that occupies half of the North Sea.

Xuanlong Dynasty.

Not to mention Dong Shenzhou, even on the entire Shanhai Continent, the Xuanlong Dynasty is already an upper-level force.

Unlike the Fuyu Sect, the Xuanlong Dynasty can be regarded as a sect of immortal cultivation or a country, where immortal cultivators live with mortals.

The headquarters of the Xuanlong Dynasty is their capital, located in the Taihang Mountains, 12,000 miles away, and is so huge that it is daunting.

There are forty-six huge hills here. It is said that each hill has a mountain god. Those mountain gods are monsters with beast bodies and human heads. They have infinite power and endless magic power. According to legend, they are mountain guarding beasts of the Xuanlong Dynasty.

Among the forty-six hills, the most hills are covered with majestic huge palaces, one of which seems to be made of gold, emitting a dazzling golden light in the sun.

This palace is the tallest, with a gate of dozens of feet high and a height of 100 feet high. A huge golden pillar of ten feet in circles stood above the eaves of the palace, and golden dragons with teeth and claws hovered on the golden pillars.

There is a huge square in front of the palace, and dense figures are kneeling there.

In the square, there is a pyramid-shaped altar. On the altar, an old man with a naked upper body and a colorful marking on his face, and a long braided head full of braids, waving his scepter in his hand, chanting a prayer.

In front of him, a young man in an apricot yellow robe was kneeling down. He was looking at the old man's back, a piece of brown thing in the middle of the altar. His whole body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.

Most of the things were buried in the altar, and those exposed outside emitted extremely dark light in the old man's prayer.

This is the ancestor worship ceremony that is once every hundred years in the Xuanlong Dynasty.

According to records, five thousand years ago, the Xuanlong Dynasty was already a powerful force. It had ancestors' dreams and the dynasty kings of that year. It was said that it contained the inheritance of the ancestors of the dynasty. Only the descendants of the dynasty with the best qualifications and the purest bloodline were qualified to obtain inheritance through trials.

In the first few thousand years, it was extremely honorable to be selected as a trial in the ancestor worship ceremony. The descendants of the dynasty were flocking to it, but after the trials came, the mortals were not seen in life or death, and never returned. Gradually, the ancestor worship ceremony lost its original meaning and became a life-seeking ceremony. Only the most unpopular descendants in the dynasty would be selected as a trial.

Xuanlong Haneda is such an unlucky person.

The old man's prayer sound became more and more rapid, his whole body trembled sharply, and then he ended with a long drag. The scepter in his hand pointed at Xuanlong Haneda, and his whole body stopped like a sculpture.

A series of prayers suddenly sounded in the square, and then a majestic voice sounded: "Handa! You can't go quickly to receive the trial! The 119,367 tribe members of our tribe pray here, hoping that you will obtain the inheritance of your ancestors and return the trial!"

Xuanlong Haneda walked to the brown thing, turned around, and looked deeply at a tall man in a golden crown at the front of the crowd. His golden robe was embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon pattern. His face was as sharp as a knife, and his facial features were extremely tough. His phoenix-faced dragon posture had an innate sense of kingdom.

This is his father, the king of the dynasty, and it is him who wants to destroy his son in this inexplicable ceremony with his own hands.

He looked around the tall man again. The brothers and sisters who had not liked him very much were now gloating at this time. He sneered and stretched out his hand and pressed it on.

If I really survive the disaster and return from the trial of inheritance, I will definitely kill all of you dog thieves who don’t care about family affection in the future!
