Ye Feng had been staring closely at the giant door that slowly opened, and did not notice the changes in the expressions of Huang Yao and the other four.
At the same time as the giant door opened, a large group of bubbles poured out from the main hall, wrapping Ye Feng and the five people in it. Before they could react, the bubbles retracted and brought them all into the main hall. At the same time, the palace The door suddenly closed, and during this period, not even a drop of lake water penetrated in.
The hall was not completely dark, as night-glow pearls the size of a human head were spread all over the ceiling. Like dots of stars dotting it.
Although he had already expected the huge hall in the palace, Ye Feng still felt extremely shocked when he actually entered it.
The hall has a radius of nearly a hundred feet and a height of fifty feet. It is filled with jade tables and chairs, neatly arranged. Under the illumination of the night pearl, it reflects the brilliant cyan brilliance.
Directly in front of the tables and chairs is a high platform. On both sides of the high platform are two giant statues with human faces and snake bodies. They are lifelike and look weird and ferocious, making people shudder.
Could it be that the owner of the underground palace is actually the kind of monster with a human face and a snake body in the statue? Ye Feng can't imagine it.
From the arrangement of these jade seats and the height of the high platform in front, Ye Feng guessed that the ancient humans who once lived in this hall were probably giants about ten meters high, otherwise these huge tables about five or six meters high would How to use the chair freely.
This is almost the same as their previous guess.
"Ancient humans were indeed giants. There are so many tables and chairs in this hall. Could it be that it was a place used by ancient giants to hold meetings?" Huang Yao looked up at the jade platform in front of him, thoughtfully.
Huang Ge said: "Brother, haven't you been practicing Qi-gazing for a while? Why not give it a try and see what secrets are hidden here?"
Ye Feng and Cheng Ze Zongnan were new disciples who had just joined the Tianji Sect. They had only been exposed to the qi-watching technique during the talent assessment. At this moment, Huang Ge said that the qi-watching technique could see through the secrets of this place, and they couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Zong Nan said with some confusion, "How can the Qi Watching Technique be so useful?"
"'Looking at the present and looking at the past' is an ability that can only be mastered by those who are powerful in looking at Qi. It is really difficult to get started with the art of looking at Qi. Even though I have been in Tianji Sect for so long, I have only recently touched the surface of the art of looking at Qi. That's it, let alone 'looking at the present and looking at the past', even the most basic 'seeing from the smallest detail' can't be done." Huang Yao glared at Huang Ge and said with a bitter smile.
Ye Fengqi asked: "Looking at the present and looking at the past? Isn't it possible to use the qi-gazing technique to observe the current environment and see the old things that happened here before?"
"That's right, but the time you can see depends on the individual's ability to look at qi, and the ability to look at qi is closely related to each person's talent for looking at qi. It cannot be improved by painstaking practice. I was reluctant to do so during the talent assessment. Only after reaching the qualified level did I want to master this ability. I didn't expect that the Qi-Wang technique was extremely difficult to master, and I had to practice hard for several years without any results at all. I only found out later that when I took the talent assessment, because of the Qi-Wang Hall, Talents are withering, and the standards for talent assessment have been lowered again and again, so I barely passed that assessment." When Huang Yao talked about the results of his practice of Qi-Wang Technique, he looked dizzy, and it was obvious that he had been greatly shocked.
Any young man who can become an outer disciple of the Tianji Sect all possesses extremely good martial arts talents. Huang Yao is the leader among the outer disciples. His cultivation talent is extremely amazing. In the eyes of most elders, Huang Yao has entered the Gangwu Realm. , it is only a matter of time before he becomes an inner disciple of the Tianji Sect. Many elders even believe that Huang Yao may enter the Xuanwu Realm and add another martial saint to the Tianji Sect.
But it happened that such an amazing and talented person suffered a heavy blow when he practiced the art of gazing. He practiced hard for many years and could not make any progress. Although the elders of the gao hall had tried to comfort him many times, telling him that he could practice the art of gazing. There is only one warrior among ten thousand, but Huang Yao has always been worried about this.
"However, in the subsequent talent assessment, Wangqitang also raised the standards again. Since then, there have been fewer and fewer disciples who can pass the assessment. Even among the newly recruited disciples for several consecutive sessions, there is no one who has passed the examination. A disciple for the Qi talent assessment." In order to save face, Huang Yao added, "I finally mastered the ability of 'seeing in the smallest detail'. I can observe some objects and see the people and things related to them. !”
Also because of face issues, Huang Yao did not explain in detail that he had only scratched the surface of the ability to "see in the smallest detail". The illusion he could see through this ability could only last less than ten seconds. It is somewhat similar to observing the present and observing the past, but the timeline is very close, and the illusions seen are also extremely one-sided.
"The assessment standards have been raised. How many times in a row has no disciple passed the assessment?" Zong Nan and Cheng Ze were greatly surprised. They both looked at Ye Feng in unison.
The horrifying sight of Ye Feng holding up the colorful identity token in the Wenxin Palace is still vivid in his mind.
"Brother Zhou, you seem to have passed the seven talent tests?"
"Um."
"The only one that failed, wouldn't it just be the talent of Wangqi?"
"No, I also passed the test for Wangqi talent."
"Hiss!" The four people in the hall took a breath and looked at Ye Feng as if they were looking at a monster.
The other seven talents are not that big of a deal. Although it is indeed rare to have these talents, if someone is dedicated to cultivating them before joining the sect, they may not be unable to meet the passing standards.
For example, in the art of alchemy and weapon refining, as long as there are masters of alchemy and weapon refining in the family and careful guidance, it is not difficult to pass the examination of Tianji Sect.
There is no other way to cultivate talent except for the assessment of Qi skills.
"Junior Brother Zhou, have you really passed this talent assessment?" Huang Yao didn't believe it in every possible way. After all, he was also a veteran disciple in the sect, so he naturally knew how rare talent in qi-watching techniques was.
"I don't need to lie." Ye Feng said calmly.
Ye Feng was really shocked by the abilities he could master after practicing Qi Watching. When he passed this test, he didn't think much about it, and he never thought about working hard to practice Qi Watching afterwards. But now it seems that it is necessary. To understand it, if he can master all the abilities of Qi Watching, it will be of great help to his practice.
In the world of cultivation, there are similar divination and Qi techniques, but most of them are illusory. Ye Feng was only a low-level Qi practitioner at the time, so naturally he would not be exposed to this type of unpredictable technique.
I didn't expect that the Shenwu Continent, which respected martial arts, could study this magical spell so thoroughly and subdivide it into different stages.
Ye Feng acted very indifferently, but Huang Yao was completely frightened by him. He looked at Ye Feng carefully up and down, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
Although Zong Nan and Cheng Ze didn't know as much about Qi Wang as Huang Yao did, they were aware of the scarcity of this talent. They couldn't help but once again guess who the hidden family behind Ye Feng was!
"Qi-watching is extremely difficult to practice. I don't know how strong my talent is. You don't have to think about it. Just look around and see what valuable treasures there are." Seeing the weird looks on everyone's face, Ye Feng said helplessly.
One word awakens the dreamer.
The four people quickly came to their senses and began to search around for possible treasures in the hall.
Perhaps it was Huang Yao who said that the hall was just a place for discussion. Except for the tall jade tables and chairs, there were no valuable treasures in it. This made Ye Feng and others quite depressed. Fortunately, they got the key to the underground palace. , this trip was not without gain.
"I wonder what the people at Lanxi Villa found in the space passage on the other side of the lake. Could there be a similar palace and a similar key?" Ye Feng thought to himself, walking towards a stone door on the east side of the hall. .
There are stone doors on the east and west sides of the hall, and space fluctuations are transmitted from them.
Ye Feng's guess was correct. The hall at the bottom of the lake was the exit from this space.
Which side of the stone gate to leave from, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel confused.
The underground palace complex is boundless, occupying almost the entire underground world of the Prancing Horse Plain.
It would be great if they could teleport to the previous location. After all, they were familiar with that area. Otherwise, once teleported to some unfamiliar areas, everyone will have to re-detect the surrounding environment.
Ye Feng was a little hesitant, but Ling Nian could not pass through the space channel, so he could only block it.
Stepping into the stone gate with one step, it felt like stepping across endless time and space. The next moment, Ye Feng and the other five appeared in front of a long corridor.
This is an extremely spacious corridor. At first glance, it is enough for five or six giants to walk side by side.
There are still relief murals on both sides of the corridor, but this time the reliefs are not incomplete at all, and the contents inside can be clearly seen.
What is recorded in the relief is a battle, a battle of ancient humans.
Groups of giants are attacking a dark dragon one after another! The dark dragon is painted so lifelike, as if it might emerge from the relief at any time.
This battle seems extremely tragic, because the reliefs clearly depict the corpses of giants everywhere.
There was a faint familiar wave in the relief mural. Ye Feng gradually became fascinated. He inadvertently used his spiritual thoughts to try to detect the abnormality. Unexpectedly, a strong pulling force suddenly came from the relief, pulling towards Ye Feng's body. Spiritual thoughts surged away.
The relief in front of him suddenly began to twist and turn, turning into a blurry whirlpool.
Ye Feng's expression changed greatly, and he tried to take back his spiritual thoughts. Unexpectedly, his normally controllable spiritual thoughts instantly lost their resistance and rushed towards the vortex that appeared on the relief.
The moment Lin Nian was pulled into the whirlpool, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly turned black and he lost consciousness.
Huang Yao and others who were following Ye Feng were quite surprised because Ye Feng suddenly stopped and his expression also changed inexplicably, making him look extremely frightened.
They followed Ye Feng's line of sight and discovered the relief mural on the right side of the corridor.
In Ye Feng's view, the relief mural had been twisted into a whirlpool, but there was nothing strange in their eyes.
But the next strange thing immediately confused them.
After Ye Feng lost consciousness, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
"What's going on? Junior brother Zhou fainted suddenly. Did he hit the ban on the mural?" Huang Yao rushed forward and helped Ye Feng up. Cheng Ze and others hurriedly followed, looking into his eyes. Ye Feng, who had his eyes closed tightly and a look of pain on his face, asked nervously.
After a careful inspection, Huang Yao shook his head and said, "Except for some shortness of breath, there is nothing abnormal. It doesn't seem to be injured at all. Even if there is, I can't find out the cause."
