Chapter 1768: Chapter 1769: That Which Should Not Exist
Through that narrow treasure vault door, the scholars’ doubts were not reduced; rather, they increased, because considering the passage they passed through, the size of treasures that could fit in such a narrow space was limited. However, if the treasures were small, was it worth the trouble they went through to construct such a heavily protected vault?
After passing the door, a corridor slightly taller than a person slowly descended. Veronia frowned. Not only did the archaeologists fail to understand why the Golden Feather Dynasty, which revered eagles, placed the vault so deep underground, but Veronia was also aware that this passageway seed familiar to her as the Glory Road.
“Could it be that it will suddenly turn right and then quickly ascend? But, isn’t this a treasure vault? How could such a ridiculous thing happen?”
Muttering to herself in a low voice, Veronia forcefully suppressed her intuition, thinking such an absurd event shouldn’t occur.
Even though Feng Yuan heard Veronia’s self-talk, he rely glanced at her and said nothing. He was constantly using his Divine Sense to observe the surroundings, realizing that Veronia’s words had unintentionally revealed the truth.
This isn’t so adventure base; as a vault storing treasures, besides safety, it must consider the most basic storage functionality. The path suddenly steeply spirals upwards; it’s hard to imagine how they managed to transport treasures in here.
“Indeed, it’s the Glory Road. And if the passage ahead expands, there should be Cold Candle Platforms on both sides. Although the Rocksalt Moths didn’t survive that destruction, they should have found similar substitutes.”
Seeing the passage ahead make a right turn, Veronia sighed and said as Feng Yuan looked at her, puzzled.
“Glory Road? Could it be Kastantos’ unique culture? The Cold Candle Platform you ntioned, does it remain in an ice-blue gel-like state before burning?”
“The candle liquid made from Rocksalt Moth powder indeed takes this form. Unfortunately, it hasn’t survived to modern tis. Actually, that thing holds little significance today—without oxygen consumption, no thermal change upon burning, perhaps the only feature is its bright yellow candle fla can invigorate the spirit and enhance spiritual power with continued use.”
With a bitter smile, Veronia casually said. Although she still had so, since Rocksalt Moths are extinct, she was reluctant to use it casually.
Regarding sothing like the ti-space projection of the White Wolf Deity for duplication? Sorry, relics of the Mythical Era inherently possess absolute ti resistance. After all, that period has been severed beyond recall; even if preserved now, they retain unique properties. So, even Agunas cannot replicate the treasures in Veronia’s palace.
“Wait!!! Why!!!”
As everyone advanced, the surroundings indeed beca spacious with two rows of stone bowls placed in hewn horizontal grooves, leaving Veronia shocked as she couldn’t comprehend what was happening with the ice-blue substances in the bowls.
“Is it relics from an ancient civilization?”
An archaeology expert following Feng Yuan queried in confusion, having overheard the conversation between Feng Yuan and Veronia. According to them, should these be special items made from Rocksalt Moth powder?
Without waiting to say much, the surrounding stone bowls suddenly ignited in flas, causing Veronia to say absentmindedly.
“Igniting upon sensing life, extinguishing as life departs—it is indeed Stone Heart Fire!”
“Stone Heart Fire? Is that what it’s called?”
Startled, Feng Yuan remarked curiously, finding it odd that it shouldn’t relate to stones; could it be a forced association due to Kastantos’ mountain worship?
“No, to be precise, it’s the na of a type of fla. This fuel, made from Rocksalt Moth powder mixed with various rock powders, when used on the Holy Road, the flas ignited are called Stone Heart Fire.
The requirent for this fla is to ignite and extinguish autonomously with the appearance of life, prohibiting significant thermal changes, and the light must not beco cold—e.g., flas like eerie blue or deep purple are not allowed on the Holy Road.
Of course, the most important is its identification function.”
“Identification? They wouldn’t regard us as their own, would they? Does this thing really have such a capability?”
Glancing at the bright yellow fla, Feng Yuan remarked speechlessly, not believing this could recognize passing individuals since it’s dead matter, not life, where would such a capacity co from?
“Of course, not the kind of identification you ntioned. Achieving ideological enemy recognition is naturally impossible; however, during the Mythical Era, among Kastantos’ adversaries were many adept at employing Ghost Series control thods, and those skills, when passing through the Holy Road, would be identified by Stone Heart Fire.”
“But, don’t we have Ghost Series Divine Beasts?”
Glancing at Long Boduo, Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly.
“So this is rely for show? Yet restoring to this extent, the Golden Feather Dynasty is truly impressive.”
“Not exactly. Kastantos had Ghost Series Spirit Beast armies itself; only those forbidden Ultimate Moves from the Mythical Era haven’t been passed down now. After all, those life-manipulating techniques shouldn’t exist.”
Shaking her head, Veronia said. In the Mythical Era rife with rampant use of such ans, no one dared to trust people easily, never knowing who would control whom, resulting in a low-trust environnt lacking modern comfort.
“So, those Ultimate Moves were quite formidable, aning this thing is a Kastantos relic the Golden Feather Dynasty unearthed.”
Swiping his gaze over the stone bowls with bright yellow flas, Feng Yuan spoke, feeling sothing amiss as the other rolled his eyes in frustration, saying.
“This thing cannot be preserved that long, let alone believing such substances could withstand the catastrophic decay without changing in nature.”
Though many relics remain, substances from the Mythical Era mostly underwent transformation during the calamity never regaining their original abilities.
Even Feng Yuan, who felt sothing strange, realized these special materials logically shouldn’t endure till now. But if created by the Golden Feather Dynasty, where did they find Rocksalt Moths? Could it be there are Mythical Era creatures still in the Hu’er Masha Sea?
The possibility isn’t absent. Feng Yuan was puzzled why these appeared in the Golden Feather Dynasty’s vault, yet the cities Tianpan Nation built lacked them.
Indeed, this might relate to it being the Holy Road, but Feng Yuan sensed sothing was off as if the Golden Feather Dynasty later gained data from the Hu’er Masha Sea Tianpan Nation hadn’t.
“Perhaps in the Hu’er Masha Sea, Rocksalt Moths still exist. Yet during the Tianpan Nation period, they failed to excavate crucial relic parts fully. Didn’t you ntion previously the things outside were incomplete?”
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan comnted, glancing at Veronia, who nodded.
“Yes, but inside, it’s different. At least, judging by the data I know, this Glory Road itself is not much different from Kastantos’ period.”
“aning this vault is more troubleso than anticipated? Moreover, here the Golden Feather Dynasty utilized ancient civilization technology derived from the Hu’er Masha Sea?”
The archaeologist, contemplating sothing, said astonished, while those surrounding naturally overheard Feng Yuan’s dialogue. Qi Chen glanced around anxiously but found nothing abnormal.
“Although your speculation seems plausible, it’s regrettable that Rocksalt Moths are exclusive Kastantos creatures, demanding specific habitat conditions. But once environnt shifts greatly, they perish from failure to adapt.
This ans the sole survival possibility is in the Hu’er Masha Sea among cosmic fragnts maintaining Mythical Era akin conditions inside, rendering survival viable.”
Upon hearing Veronia, their expressions turned grim, and Feng Yuan, too, doubted such a phenonon, given the World of Mirrors stands solitary. How could Kastantos preserve space like it unaffected by ti, sheltering all within?
Moreover, even possessing such a capability, why isn’t a peak of ultimate sanctity retained? Lingering doubts troubled them without an answer; unraveling the truth demands venturing into the Hu’er Masha Sea.
