Chapter 127: The Legend From 500 Years Ago.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“This is?”
“A Heaven and Earth Array?”
The moment Su Qin laid eyes on the dark golden lines running across the surface of the wooden box, this thought came to mind.
The wooden box itself is relatively ordinary, but it is carved from a century-old sandalwood tree. For an ordinary person, it may be worth a lot of money, but if compared with the mysterious dark golden lines on the surface of the wooden box, it’s nothing.
In Su Qin’s eyes, the dark golden lines were like black holes, constantly concealing all of the aura around it.
If it were not for Su Qin seeing it with his own eyes, even if he used his Divine Sense and scanned it thousands of times, it would be impossible to find this wooden box.
“To be able to engrave a Heaven and Earth Array on a wooden box, the strength of this person is probably far greater than Arhat Pao’s…”
Su Qin’s thoughts turned sharply as he thought silently in his heart.
Arhat Pao had set up a Heaven and Earth Array in the secret room before he passed away, hence avoiding the Divine Sense of others.
However, the Heaven and Earth Array left by Arhat Pao was based on the stone gate outside the secret room. The stone gate was several meters in size and was big enough to set up a Heaven and Earth Array.
But this wooden box is just palm-size. If one wants to set up a Heaven and Earth Array on it, the difficulty is so high that it is not what a 1st Heavenly Layer Arhat can accomplish.
“One has to be at least at the 3rd Heavenly Layer…”
Su Qin guessed in his mind as he became more and more curious about this wooden box.
Su Qin would like to know what kind of treasure was so valuable, that a powerhouse of at least the 3rd Heavenly Layer worked hard to protect it with a Heaven and Earth Array so that outsiders would not discover it.
“Third Brother, are you interested in this?”
When Emperor Li Sheng saw Su Qin’s expression, he asked.
“A little bit.”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
Ever since Su Qin came to this world, he had only come into contact with two Arhats/Legends, one is Arhat Pao and the other is the Demon Buddha.
So now that there is a third, how can Su Qin be indifferent?
“Since the Third Brother is interested, I will give it to Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng handed the wooden box to Su Qin.
“By the way, Third Brother, I heard from the Temple Guard that this wooden box seems to be related to the Founding Father, though I can’t exactly tell what it is.”
Emperor Li Sheng said.
“The Founding Father?”
Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed.
When he saw this wooden box, he partly guessed that it might be left by the Founding Father because in the entire Tang Empire, only the Founding Father had reached Legend; meaning he is the only one with the ability to set up this Heaven and Earth Array.
Emperor Li Sheng said a few more words and left.
Su Qin sat cross-legged while quietly looking at the wooden box in front of him.
The wooden box had no gaps, as if it was just a brick of wood, but it opened when Su Qin’s right hand stroked it.
[Weng~!]
An inexplicable wave of energy suddenly moved towards all directions. If it weren’t for the Heaven and Earth Array in the East Palace, this would have spread to the entire Imperial Palace.
“What a very rich Divine Sense…”
Su Qin slightly frowned while looking at a glittering and translucent jade pendant in the wooden box.
The whole body of this jade pendant was transparent, with mist that seemed to be swirling inside. Su Qin felt a lot of Divine Sense fluctuations coming from the jade pendant.
“Interesting.”
Su Qin also released his Divine Sense and moved it towards the jade pendant.
[Bang!]
When Su Qin’s Divine Sense touched the jade pendant, he felt as if he was transported into some world.
This world was extremely illusory, but in the most central part, there was a huge figure wearing a dragon robe.
“Why are you not kneeling?”
The dragon robe wearing figure slowly raised its head and looked at Su Qin.
In an instant, the illusory world suddenly became agitated and infinite power gathered, it then rushed towards Su Qin.
“A mere incomplete Divine Sense dares to oppose me?”
Despite being faced with such a shocking scene, Su Qin’s expression did not change even by a bit. He knew that everything in front of him was just an illusion constructed by the Divine Sense inside the pendant.
Maybe Martial Artists who are new to the Arhats/Legend Realm will be shocked,
But for Su Qin, an Arhat who is close to Peak 4th Heavenly Layer… It was nothing.
For him, this was like the reflection of the moon in a lake.
It will break and disappear with just a touch.
Su Qin took a step and then…
[Crack~]
[Crack~]
The illusory world was subjected to some kind of pressure, it continued to shatter and dissipate. Within a moment, it collapsed completely.
In the Right Spring Square.
Su Qin’s eyes slowly opened, looking at the jade pendant in the wooden box with interest.
“Why did the Founding Father leave behind to such a huge amount of Divine Sense?”
Su Qin touched his chin, and a thoughtful look flashed through his eyes.
“Unfortunately, based on the Divine Sense in the pendant, it seems that the Founding Father has already perished…”
Su Qin was lost in thought.
If the Founding Father was still alive, the Divine Sense in the pendant will definitely not be as rigid like this.
Thinking of this, Su Qin shook his head slightly.
More than 500 years had already passed when the Founding Father established the Tang Empire and crossed the sea. Then there was no news of him ever since.
“If the Founding Father is not dead, then this Divine Sense is useless to me. Since the other party has fallen, the Divine Sense in the pendant has become but a masterless object, and I can completely absorb it by refining.”
Su Qin’s heart was excited.
According to Su Qin’s estimation, if the huge Divine Sense in the pendant is completely refined, it can at least improve his Divine Sense from 5% to 10%.
With Su Qin’s current strength, even a slight improvement is extremely difficult, not to mention 5% to 10%.
Moreover, compared with the growth of his Body and True Essence, it is more difficult to improve his Divine Sense.
“Since the Founding Father has left such a huge amount of Divine Sense, he must have planned ‘rebirth’ through this Divine Sense…?”
Su Qin guessed.
This was the only explanation he could think of.
For ordinary people, the death of their Body is real death, even a Grade 1 Great Perfection is no exception. But in the eyes of many Arhats/Legend, the fall of the Body does not mean complete death.
For example, the Demon Buddha abandoned his body and survived for nearly a 1000 years as a Demonic Will.
The Founding Father must have the same idea as the Demon Buddha.
“Unfortunately, the Divine Sense he left behind in the pendant was not activated.”
Su Qin let out a long sigh. He became much more vigilant of the endless ocean.
If even the Founding Father, who is at 3rd Heavenly Layer, died in the depths of the endless ocean, to the point that he didn’t even have time to stimulate his Divine Sense; one can just imagine how terrifying the danger he faced.
Su Qin’s strength is far greater than that of the Founding Father, but there is no guarantee that there is nothing that is stronger than Su Qin in the depths of the endless ocean.
