Isn't this a game? How come you guys are really cultivating immortals!

Chapter 167 The Sound of a Needle Falling

The square is paved with neat tiles.

There are hollow foundations surrounding the square, and other than that, the square is terribly empty.

Apart from statues and bronze tripods, nothing else was seen.

Looking up, I could only see the dark ceiling.

No one knew where the light came from. He didn't see any lighting source, it was just a little dim, but it was enough for Mu Qiu to see things clearly.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Where did the giant beast she just saw come from?

With such a large volume, this square definitely cannot hide it.

Opposite the bronze tripod is the entrance to the square. An equally huge and wide staircase leads down, seemingly connecting to an abyss. You can't see clearly what's below.

But on the other side of the stairs, there is a bronze door.

“What a mysterious place…”

Mu Qiu murmured, "System, can't you take a picture of it?"

System: "Let me try."

After a while, it said strangely, "No."

Although the energy source can be cracked, Song Jiulai's current energy pool cannot afford the price of cracking it.

This proves that the power of this place is extremely strong.

Even the picture was blocked, and the system could not transmit it.

It couldn't even take a photo of Song Jiulai.

And the small world on the other side of the pond is fine.

Obviously, different small worlds have different sizes, and Mu Qiu must have hit a big one.

Mu Qiu didn't feel any regret after knowing that what the system said was wrong, but was just shocked by the scene before him.

In an instant, she thought of a lot of things. This was just a game world, but could such a civilization be imagined and created in the game world?

After his excitement subsided a little and he still didn't see the giant beast, Mu Qiu carefully flew down from the eyes of the bronze statue.

There is no limit to her spiritual energy here.

She flew to the ground, stepped on the stone slabs underground, and took a closer look.

These stone slabs have naturally formed patterns and have been shaved and trimmed into their current shape, which is quite easy for those who practice Taoism.

With caution, she took every step carefully and slowly, with snow flying around her.

She didn't rush towards the stairs, but leaned towards the huge bronze tripod.

The tripod is so big that I can’t see its entire shape when I look up.

She flew up and reached the top of the huge bronze tripod, and saw that there was nothing inside the empty tripod.

Mu Qiu said, "Where could the orb that the spirit mentioned be?"

System: "Let me help you guess."

Mu Qiu: “…”

She didn't really want to ask the system, she just knew that there was something that could answer her questions and she subconsciously muttered to herself.

The existence of the system will ease her tense mood.

Then Mu Qiu saw behind the huge bronze tripod.

Behind this is a tall, impenetrable wall.

But in an inconspicuous corner, Mu Qiu saw a human-sized passage at the bottom.

However, compared with the huge indoor environment, it seemed too inconspicuous and was blocked by the calf of the giant tripod. Mu Qiu fell to the ground and confirmed that it was a tunnel that people could pass through.

Compared with the overall environment, this passage seems a bit abrupt. Could it be used to transport something?

Mu Qiu raised his fingertips and probed into the passage in the dim light, but could only see the pitch-black end.

"Giant bronze tripods are usually associated with sacrifices. Could this have been a sacrificial plaza in the past? It's so huge, what on earth was it used for? If what that spirit said is true, and this is a demon cultivator's city, would demon cultivators also do these things?"

No matter how you look at it, sacrificial activities are something only humans do.

Demon cultivators are still demons in essence.

Just a humanoid appearance.

The history of the first demon cultivators is no longer traceable, but there is a legend in the Yunzhou Continent that the first demon cultivators were the offspring of cultivators and demon beasts.

Because it goes against the will of heaven, most demon cultivators have violent temperaments, which is an influence brought by their bloodline.

They also like to eat humans, which makes them look nothing like the descendants of monks.

Players all believe that this is the unofficial history of demon cultivators.

If the demon cultivators were truly a combination of demon beasts and cultivators, then given the demon beasts' utterly devastating appearance, only a cultivator of the beastly level would be able to devour them...

There are currently roughly three factions in Yunzhou Continent.

One is the Yunzhou Continent, which is completely controlled by cultivators, that is, humans.

Second, outside the Yunzhou Continent, this has been confirmed. There are real spiritual beasts in the legend, also known as holy beasts. It was said before that demon cultivators are actually the descendants of holy beasts.

But his violent nature doesn't really match that of a sacred beast, which is why he's been accused of being born from a demonic beast...

Some of the spiritual beasts that humans are raising now are the descendants of sacred beasts introduced from outside the Yunzhou Continent. However, their bloodlines have gradually become diluted, and they basically have nothing to do with the truly powerful sacred beasts. They can only be called spiritual beasts.

This kind of sacred beast is basically the mythical beast commonly known by Blue Star players.

They are different from demon beasts. Holy beasts are pure beasts with gentle temperaments and are loved by nature and nature. They have powerful cultivation from birth, which is unmatched by humans.

Although they are favored by heaven, it is also extremely difficult for them to reproduce. They are also coveted by monsters and demon cultivators, and even some human cultivators are particularly envious of spirit beasts. Therefore, spirit beasts basically do not appear easily in the Yunzhou Continent and are basically equivalent to legends.

The third type is demon beasts, including demon cultivators. They not only live in Yunzhou Continent, but there are also stronger ones outside of Yunzhou Continent.

The existence of demon beasts is actually very strange. They are real beasts, but not like sacred beasts. They are the common enemy of spiritual beasts and humans.

From the perspective of humans, demon cultivators are pure troublemakers.

If you don't help the monsters or the humans, both of them will die.

For players, these histories are just part of the story background. Some of them are true and some are false, and players who don’t have much information now cannot tell them apart.

Mu Qiu has chosen to come down from the eyes of the bronze statue and has chosen a path to death. There is no reason to stop here.

Behind the square, apart from this door, there is the abyss under the stairs outside. Mu Qiu is not brave enough to go over to the abyss and take a look.

After hesitating for only a second, he chose to step into the passage.

The passage is dimly lit and clean. Unlike some ruins, there are no traces of text or portrait carvings here except for statues.

There wasn't even a clue for Mu Qiu to figure out where this place was.

“How wonderful…”

Mu Qiu's fingers stroked the cold corridor walls. These buildings were all made of stone, but they were tightly fitted together, and felt an exceptionally fine dusty texture to the touch.

She walked forward step by step. Because she was alone, it was so quiet that she could even hear a pin drop.

--etc.

Mu Qiu's pupils shrank: "Where did the sound of a needle falling to the ground come from?!"
