Chapter 1558: Dynastic Remains

Ye Long gave Xiang Shaoyun a simplified version of the story, "We came here in accordance with the map you gave us. We also confirmed that the map is accurate. However, the Tiele Clan had also discovered this place. They seem to be searching for something and have sealed the entire area off. Since we can\'t approach the place anymore, we decided to inform you so you can decide on our next path of action."

"What a coincidence," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile. "Scarlet Flame, did you find anything?"

Scarlet Flame Monarch shut his eyes for a bit before opening them. "A pseudo-God, two Great Saints, and several thousand cultivators are hidden around the mountain ahead of us. They are spread all over the place."

"Looks like they must have discovered something if they have so many people here," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh. "Despair, do you know anything about this place?"

Despair replied blankly, "No."

"The aura surrounding this place is ancient. It must have existed for a very long time. Is there anything special about this place?" asked Liu Qingchen doubtfully.

Xiang Shaoyun did not answer. Rather, he took the map from the Four Night Saints. After glancing at the map, his eyes lit up, and he said, "According to the map, this is the remains of a bereaved imperial dynasty. I hope it doesn\'t disappoint."

Everyone was shocked. The so-called bereaved imperial dynasty was a dynasty that had been displaced or even destroyed. Such a dynasty had once enjoyed a time of glory before their eventual demise. Even so, the things they left behind would not be ordinary. If they could find the remains of the imperial dynasty, they might be able to obtain great benefits. That was why Xiang Shaoyun had come all the way out here.

"Hide yourself. I\'ll go take a look," said Xiang Shaoyun as he turned invisible before charging ahead.

At the same time, he activated his divine dao eyes, covering the entire area in his vision as he tried to see through the place. Not anyone would be able to cultivate something like the divine dao eyes. It was extremely rare even among Gods. With these eyes, one would be able to see through many things and search for things that had been hidden away.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun activated his eyes, the world was exposed before him in great detail. Not even the tiny ants on the surrounding tree leaves could hide from him. As for the Tiele Dynasty members who were searching the area, they were naturally exposed as well.

Initially, Xiang Shaoyun did not notice anything. But it didn\'t take him long to discover something. His gaze landed on an inconspicuous mountain ridge. The ridge looked bleak with little flora growing on it. In fact, there weren\'t even any demonic beasts residing on it. As for the Tiele Dynasty people searching the area, they had also completely ignored the mountain ridge. Such an inconspicuous mountain ridge actually hid something.

"So this is the place that has been suppressing the area. This mountain ridge definitely hides the secret of this place," muttered Xiang Shaoyun joyfully.

The mountain ridge wasn\'t big, but underneath it were countless formation lines, which were most definitely the lines of god-grade formations stacked together. Even God Realm formation masters would have a hard time unraveling them.

God-grade formations were capable of hiding even from Gods. If it wasn\'t for Xiang Shaoyun\'s unique eyes and his identity as a formation master, he wouldn\'t have been able to notice anything wrong with the mountain ridge either.

After arriving at the mountain ridge, he observed his surroundings and discovered something astonishing.

"This place is surrounded by three horizontal veins and six vertical veins, forming an aura of nine converging dragons that is even more powerful than what the Dragon Society had. Unfortunately, the entire place had been reduced into a valley. Looks like the foundations of this dynasty have been completely ruined," gasped Xiang Shaoyun in alarm.

A terrain of nine converging dragons would be a holy land of cultivation with countless mountains. However, such terrain couldn\'t be found so easily. After confirming that this place was indeed the site of a ruined imperial dynasty, Xiang Shaoyun calmed down. The only thing he needed to do next was to find a way to uncover what was hidden here.

He returned to the group and said, "I found the location, but to avoid exposure, we need to first deal with the Tiele Dynasty."

Despair offered, "Let the Army of Despair handle this."

The killing intent in his eyes was clear for all to see.

"You guys won\'t be enough. We need to do it fast without giving them any chances to try anything. Otherwise, we will only garner unwanted attention," said Xiang Shaoyun. "Everyone will act together."

Everyone present was a top-tier expert. They even had a God like Scarlet Flame Monarch around. A group like this would be hard-pressed to find a match. Xiang Shaoyun then let the group move out while he flew toward the mountain ridge.

There, he utilized the profundity of earth and spread his senses through the ground. At the same time, he activated his divine dao eyes and looked right through the mountain. The mountain ridge was merely a distraction. The formation was actually located at the foot of the mountain. Using the profundity of earth, Xiang Shaoyun opened a tunnel right below him and sunk into the ground.

Gods specializing in the power of earth could all freely travel through the ground. Although Xiang Shaoyun was only a Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, he had high mastery over the power of earth, making him capable of such a feat as well.

After he went several hundred meters into the ground, he sensed a thick layer of earth energy beneath him.

The energy was hidden rather well, but it couldn\'t escape his senses. With the Desolation mantra, he absorbed some of the energy and found that the energy was actually produced by saint crystals.

"Looks like a saint crystal vein had formed underneath," muttered Xiang Shaoyun in joy as he continued sinking deeper into the ground.

After sinking for about 1,000 meters into the ground, he finally sensed some change in the soil around him. The soil was so hard he could hardly split it with only his Saint Realm energy. He had no choice but to use brute force and dig his way through instead. Before long, the sight of a saint crystal vein greeted him. He did not do anything to it as he had noticed that the formation lines were all carved onto the vein.

"How opulent. Using a saint crystal vein as the formation eye? Anyone greedy enough to steal these crystals will be immediately pulverized," exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun.

He then started clearing his surroundings, forming a cave above the vein. Only by clearing the god-grade formation based around the vein would he be able to enter the site of the dynasty.

"The god-grade formation here is not to be underestimated. I need to study it carefully before trying anything," muttered Xiang Shaoyun. He was in no rush to break the formation as it was too complicated for him to take light of it.
