Chapter 465: The Ancient Castle in the Senate

Ji Qianrou’s appearance and deliberately stopping Night Singing Cold was indeed an unexpected surprise for Yun Che.

Ji Qianru exuded a demonic and evil aura between his words and demeanor, while his conceit was not only written on his face, but was also deeply imprinted into his bones – this was the impression that Ji Qianru left on Yun Che.

Yesterday, when Yun Che took the initiative to find Ji Qianru to strike up a conversation and relieve him of the Toad Poison that had been haunting him for many years, it was not only to thank him for his words of help on the field, but also for the greater purpose of letting him owe himself a favor …… because for this kind of conceited and arrogant person who was so arrogant to the extreme, owing a favor was a favor that would have to be repaid no matter how it was done.

He hadn’t expected that he would receive feedback from Ji Qianrou so quickly.

However, he by no means thought that Ji Qianru would kill Night Singing Cold, and it was unknown how long he could hold him off, so Yun Che didn’t slacken off half-heartedly, holding Feng Xue’er and running with all his might, spilling sweat all the way.

Time flowed by quickly, and in this barren, empty world that was permeated with a sense of mystery and otherworldliness, even the flow of time was perceived as a bit fuzzy. When Yun Che began to feel exhausted, he was no longer able to determine that he had been running for too long this time, perhaps three or four hours, perhaps seven or eight hours, his speed began to slow down, and he finally staggered to a stop before sitting on his butt on the ground, panting heavily.

In that life of the Cang Yun Continent, fleeing for years and years was a common occurrence, but it was the first time in two lifetimes that it made his mental pressure and sense of crisis so heavy. Because this place was simply too empty, leaving all the various concealment, camouflage and anti-tracking abilities he had practiced nowhere to be exercised. Otherwise, if this was a mountain range or jungle, even with a Feng Xue’er in his arms, he would have been able to get rid of Night Singing Cold without too much effort. Back then, the Burning Sky Sect’s eight Elder-level figures whose strength and speed outclassed his were jointly chasing after him, and they were all fooled by him alone.

“Brother Yun …… you’re sweating a lot ……” Feng Xue’er said with hazy eyes.

Yun Che took his hand and wiped his forehead, smiled and said, “For a man, sweating this much is nothing at all. It can only be blamed on my lack of cultivation and running out of strength so quickly.”

“It’s not …… brother Yun is amazing …… than anyone else ……” Feng Xue’er softly voiced out : “Are we …… safe now?”

“I don’t know, it should be safe.” Yun Che comfortingly said.

“Look ahead!” Jasmine suddenly spoke out.

Yun Che’s mind condensed and he quickly looked up, and then froze there.

Ahead, the empty wasteland was gone, and a dark green wall stood tall, straight into the gray sky above, and the left and right also extended distantly, extending to who knows where, and with Yun Che’s visual acuity, no matter the upper end of it, as well as the left and right, one could not see the edges at all.

Directly in front of Yun Che, on the green-black wall was an open stone door, which was a hundred feet high and a hundred feet wide, and in other locations, there also existed a few feet long and wide stone windows scattered all over the place, which were gray and cloudy, and it was not possible to see a single bit of the inside.

This is ……

Yun Che raised his head, and his mind appeared in a prolonged trance. A building so huge that not even any of the edges could be seen, should have been clearly discovered as early as a hundred miles away. Not to mention the fact that this place was empty, not to mention a building this huge, even if it was a hundred times smaller, it was bound to be extraordinarily eye-catching and could be seen at a glance.

But he ran all the way here, but did not find it at all. In front of his line of sight, there was clearly always a wasteland!

This massive structure was completely as if it had appeared out of nowhere!

“This looks like it should be a massive ancient fortress!” Jasmine said cautiously, “Its aura is incomparably ancient, it should belong to an ancient building. Perhaps, it existed in synchronization with this Taikoo Xuan Boat, rather than being generated at a later stage.”

“Why didn’t I see it before?” Yun Che was astonished, “Jasmine, when did you discover it?”

“Just now.” Jasmine replied.

“Just now?” Yun Che’s face was astonished.

“You don’t have to be surprised,” Jasmine calmly said, “Although this ancient castle is extremely old, the Xuan Formation power on its surface has not dissipated to nothing. The entire castle is enveloped in a huge ancient guardian array. This ancient Xuan Formation could not only protect the ancient fortress from the forces of nature, but it also had an extremely strong concealment ability! Although this ancient fortress was incomparably huge, it would be impossible to discover its existence without getting close to within a hundred feet of it. And ……”

Jasmine’s voice hesitated slightly before continuing, “Within this ancient Xuan Formation, there seems to be the existence of spatial power. If I’m not wrong, this ancient fort, it’s possible that it will move by itself!”

An ancient fort that can move by itself?

This sounded a little too heavenly.

“Xue’er, is there this ancient fortress in your clan’s records about the Swift Xuan Ark?” Yun Che asked Feng Xue’er.

Feng Xue’er gently shook her head, “I’ve never heard Father Emperor and the others talk about it, so it shouldn’t be there.”

The entire ancient castle was green and black, with a simple and ancient architectural style, vaguely releasing a pale and heavy atmosphere. Yun Che watched for quite a while, and after his physical strength had recovered a bit, he opened his mouth and asked, “Jasmine, just how big is this ancient castle?”

“You’d better not try to go around it.” Jasmine said unhurriedly, “It’s so huge that it’s going to far exceed your imagination, even I can’t perceive where its edge is. It’s simply impossible for you to try and go around it before this world closes.”

“So big!!!” Yun Che’s face was shocked.

“Don’t you want to go in and take a look?” Jasmine said flatly, “This is an ancient building in the Ancient Xuan Boat, even I’m interested in it, and the Ancient Supreme Treasure that those guys have been trying to find all these years might be in here.”

Yun Che stood up, and after confirming that there was no abnormal aura behind him, he half tilted his head and slowly walked towards the front.

Soon, his footsteps had already stepped in front of the gate of the ancient castle. At this moment, Yun Che was only a few steps away from the gate, which was a hundred feet long and wide, and was completely open, but all Yun Che could see was a grayish haze, and he could not see any of the scenery inside. He stopped in his footsteps, held his breath, and after gazing and probing the aura inside for a while, he finally stepped inside.

It was as if he had entered another world from one world, all of a sudden, the light, the scent, the atmosphere, and even the acuity of his vision and hearing all found a huge change, before his eyes, there was a huge, yet extraordinarily empty hall, with rooted stone pillars standing up in the sky, the stone bricks under his feet, the surrounding walls, the tops, as well as the stone pillars that were arrayed in the same greenish-black color, releasing the taste and scent of an ancient and extremely old age.

Yun Che turned around, his gaze landing on the entrance he had just passed through, and all he saw was a grayish cloud, unable to see any of the scene outside. He thought for a moment and quickly backed away.

The world around him switched once again, and Yun Che had returned to the wilderness area before the ancient castle, and the conspicuous footprints underneath his feet that he had intentionally left before proved that this was the place where he had stood before.

Confirming that he had deliberately come out unobstructed after entering, Yun Che lowered his heart and once again entered the ancient castle.

The hall was extraordinarily huge, much larger than the qualifying battle arena that Yun Che was in yesterday, Yun Che’s gaze scanned the surroundings, his footsteps slowly moving forward, the sound of his feet landing on the ground, as well as the sound of his breath being deliberately held back, was extraordinarily clear in the empty and incomparable hall.

What kind of place was this in the end?

Yun Che kept walking for a long time before he finally saw the edge of this hall. On the surrounding walls, there was a stone door every twenty feet or so, some of the doors were open, some were closed, and after the open doors, there was a passageway that led to nowhere. At the end of the hall, there is a high round stone platform, which is about ten feet high and a hundred feet wide.

To the right of the high platform was a very high stone staircase that led to the second level of this ancient fortress.

“Jasmine, did you find anything?” Yun Che stopped and asked.

“I don’t know about the rest, but what is certain is that there is no scent of any living being here, nor is there any scent of a living being other than you having arrived. This place, should be an ancient land that has long been completely forgotten! Take a walk, there might be some peculiar discoveries. If there can be an exotic treasure left behind from the ancient era, even if it’s of the lowest grade, it would be a heavenly reward.”

Yun Che nodded, and after hesitating for a while, he walked towards the wide stone staircase and went up it. He didn’t know exactly how many floors this ancient fortress had, but even Jasmine couldn’t detect the end of its height, so he was even more unable to speculate, and it was estimated that even if he found out that it had thousands, or even tens of thousands of floors, Yun Che wouldn’t be surprised.

Slowly stepping upwards on the stone stairs, at the same time, Yun Che gazed downwards, observing the vast hall of the first floor from above. Just as his eyes landed on that circular elevated platform, his eyes suddenly condensed, and his footsteps stopped.

It was because in that moment just now, he vaguely felt a little red aura flash across his eyes.

This space was incomparably quiet, and the color was also greenish-black, thus that bit of red aura, although extremely weak, appeared particularly eye-catching and unusual. Without even thinking about it, Yun Che hugged Feng Xue’er tightly and leapt down from the stone ladder, landing steadily on that elevated platform, his gaze locking onto the location where that red aura appeared.

“What did you discover?”

“…… Not sure yet.”

Yun Che’s footsteps moved forward, slowly walking to the end of the high platform, when that very faint red aura once again flashed across his eyes, and he quickly stopped his footsteps, his gaze firmly landing within the gap between those two greenish-black stones on the stone platform.

Yun Che’s body crouched down and his eyes moved closer, and sure enough, right between those two green stones that he had locked onto, in that narrow gap that was indiscernible to the naked eye, an extremely faint red glow faintly shot out, appearing and disappearing.

There was something underneath this!

This is the ancient relic land in Jasmine’s mouth, the age must have been extremely long, but the things underneath are still flickering with power light, so it can be imagined that it must be an extraordinary exotic treasure.

But if it was a sufficiently powerful and precious treasure, the Heavenly Poison Bead should have sensed it, so why was the Heavenly Poison Bead motionless?

Yun Che stretched out his palm and violently smashed it into the gap, and with a loud “bang”, his palm was bounced up, and everything from his flesh to his bones were vaguely painful, but the two greenish-black stones were intact, and there wasn’t even the slightest change.

“You want to shatter it? With your strength, that is absolutely impossible! Xia Yuanba is a mid-stage Hegemonic Emperor, and he couldn’t even shatter an ordinary stone outside, the wall stones in this ancient fortress are much tougher than the stones outside, even if you blast it with all your strength for a few decades, you won’t be able to cause even half a bit of damage.” Jasmine was very unforgiving.
