The Panlong Pillar is the most mysterious and oldest of the four great national treasures of the Zhou Dynasty.
Even the two victors who participated in the Panlong decisive battle were extremely taboo about this thing and never told anyone about it. Therefore, few people in the world know what the Panlong Pillar in Panlong Mausoleum looks like, let alone what opportunities can be obtained in it...
Chu Tianxiao is about to become one of the few people in the world who knows the truth.
He walked down the many stairs and soon came to an earth-colored corridor. After passing through it, his vision gradually widened...
finally…
A bright light came into my eyes, and I saw that this place was full of unknown flowers, birds singing, flowers fragrant, green grass, and fragmented sunlight shining through the heavy leaves. Crystal clear water droplets on the green leaves everywhere sparkled. Anyone who came here would praise it as a fairyland.
There was a winding path among the flowers and grass. Chu Tianxiao walked along it, breathing in the fragrance all around. He felt relaxed and refreshed, and all the fatigue from the fight with Chu He was gone...
After walking for a while, Chu Tianxiao saw the end of the narrow path. It was indeed a giant pillar that reached the sky, emitting a milky white jade-like light. Although the distance was still far, the faint pressure from it still made Chu Tianxiao gradually solemn... Perhaps, that was the legendary Panlong Pillar
With a thought, Chu Tianxiao quickly flew to the Panlong Pillar. When he looked closely, he could see a lifelike statue of a giant golden dragon circling the pillar. What surprised Chu Tianxiao was that a lot of the dragon's scales had fallen off, and it had no eyes!
A closer look revealed that there were many cracks on the Panlong Pillar. One of them seemed to have cut directly into the dragon's abdomen, leaving a hole and a deep scar near the pillar...
"This is..." Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. The more he looked at the dragon, the more strange it felt. It seemed as if it was alive, but also as if it had already died. There were all kinds of meanings, all mysterious and hard to understand...
"The dragon race is rumored to be one of the most powerful races in the vast land of China and even in the world. Like the ancient human race, their lineage has long been cut off and people know little about them. But I think... the weakest dragon is also an extremely powerful existence. If this dragon was once alive, then who could hurt it to this extent and even dig out its eyes?"
A lot of questions popped up in Chu Tianxiao's mind, and he shook his head again, thinking that his guess was too absurd. If this was really a dragon, then even if the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very powerful, he couldn't have captured it and used it as a national treasure, right? The dragons in the rumors were many and varied, but this five-clawed golden dragon was obviously of the orthodox bloodline, and its arrogance was self-evident... Even as far as Chu Tianxiao knew, most of the higher life forms of the dragon race disdained to communicate with humans. Even in ancient times, they often clashed with humans. How could they be willing to be used by humans
Maybe... I'm just overthinking it, and this is just a statue
Chu Tianxiao shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts, and then carefully looked at the inscriptions on the Panlong Pillar...
"It can transform into a Coiling Dragon Road... The Coiling Dragon Stele I copied also has many mysteries... Coiling Dragon Pillar, what secrets do you have?"
Chu Tianxiao looked at it carefully. With just one glance, he felt as if he had stepped into a mysterious ocean, as if there were countless ways to practice and the truth of martial arts for him to grasp. It was also as if these were all the moon in the well and the flowers in the mirror, illusory and unreal...
What surprised Chu Tianxiao even more was that after sitting in front of the Panlong Pillar and watching it for a long time, he could actually see some strange "handwriting" from it. Although it was definitely not the language of the human race or even the vast land of China, he... seemed to be able to understand it, and... it didn't seem like he was born with it, but as if he had... learned it before
"Shame..."
"True dragon...blood..."
"Traitor..."
"Luck..."
"Dragon... Little Star Lord..."
Vague meanings were generated in Chu Tianxiao's consciousness. Some words were very difficult to understand, while others were so chaotic that it was difficult to form complete sentences...
Just when Chu Tianxiao was puzzled, he suddenly saw a noun, and an expression of extreme surprise appeared on his face!
"Heavenly secret... inscription on the stele!"
Chu Tianxiao shuddered, thinking about the cheating main line III arranged by the cheating system. Of the five materials required to prepare the Divine Drinking Wine, two have been collected and two have been found. Only the most troublesome "Heavenly Secret Tablet" has not had many clues. Whether it is the powerful Ning Linyun or himself who has read all the classics in the Chu Family Young Master Building, they can only catch a few clues, but... With those few clues, there is no hope of finding the Heavenly Secret Tablet.
Therefore, this thing has always been a thorn in Chu Tianxiao's heart. After all, the system's words of "directly wipe out the host" are not a joke!
"Finally there will be a clue..."
Chu Tianxiao has not been idle during this period. He has made plans for the 'Axisless Painting' and 'Tianyi Divine Water' that he has not yet obtained, and it is a plan that continues in stages. Now, all he needs is the 'Tianji Stele'!
With a thought, Chu Tianxiao no longer cared about why he seemed to have 'learned' it. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and hurriedly looked at the inscription carefully. To his surprise, the "words" in other places were more or less broken, but this one... was intact!
This couldn't be a coincidence, but seemed like some kind of... trade-off
"The method to reproduce the Heavenly Secret Stele... "
"Da Zhou..."
"The big autumn test..."
"Top of the list..."
“Surpassing all previous…”
Chu Tianxiao became more excited when he saw this, and secretly clenched his fists. He knew that after defeating Chu He, no one among his peers in Kyoto could compete with him anymore. In this way, although the top spot in the Great Autumn Examination was precious, it was not difficult to get it...
In this way, wouldn't it be easy to obtain even a few fragments of the Tianji stele
Just as this thought came to mind, it was ruthlessly shattered. There were a few final sentences, not long, but extremely deadly!
"besides… "
“This top list…”
"You cannot take part in the autumn exam."
"This is... a 'fantastic' thing."
Chu Tianxiao interpreted these words intermittently, and then he was dumbfounded.
"What's the meaning?"
"You don't allow me to take part in the Autumn Exam... but you want me to take the top spot in the Autumn Exam?"
"This is totally contradictory, isn't it? How is it possible to do this?"
"… Are you kidding me? The Heavenly Secret Stele can only be obtained by contradicting itself? Doesn't this mean that I will never be able to complete Main Mission III and am doomed to be wiped out?"
Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Impossible... Even if it's that crappy system, it won't let me die completely. Not to mention that the Panlong Pillar deliberately discarded the others and preserved this one intact. It can't be a trick!"
"There must be a key point... Well, not taking part in the autumn exam, but taking the top spot..."
"What do you mean by 'weird... things'?"
Many clues quickly came together in Chu Tianxiao's mind, but he couldn't figure out what to do. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more frustrated he became. He subconsciously threw a punch, hitting the Panlong Pillar hard!
Bang!
