Chapter 473: Undying Immortal Scripture

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Undying Immortal Scripture

"Be careful."

The Jade Pool Divine Lady frowned as she issued this reminder.

In this cave, her skills of calculating cause and effect had already lost their effectiveness.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, forcing her to be more cautious.

If any mishap occurred, everyone would have to immediately turn around and flee.

After all, in a place where cultivation cannot be used, the danger is truly immense.

Luckily, everything went smoothly without any risk.

Following the ancient cave, after approximately a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at the depths of the cave.

There was no way forward.

In the cave, there was a Cold Pool, the water crystal clear, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

The four people surveyed the surroundings, and aside from a stone tablet standing beside the Cold Pool, there was nothing else worth noting in the cave.

"What is this? It’s emitting traces of immortal power."

They approached the stone tablet, each unable to resist furrowing their brows.

The stone tablet was covered in moss, yet it appeared to have life, as though an ancient immortal slumbered here, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi pervading the cave.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady stepped forward, extended her jade hand, and wiped away the moss from the stone tablet.

Instantly, dazzling rays surged forth from the tablet.

The group couldn’t help but raise their hands to shield their eyes, only lowering them once they had gradually adjusted to the brightness.

Looking around, they saw unique ancient patterns etched on the stone tablet, radiating Dao principles, the boundless immortal power far stronger than before.

"Ancient Immortal Scripture!"

Li Huainan was initially shocked, then his face showed a look of ecstasy.

Wei Pingsheng couldn’t help but say, "Could it be the Undying Immortal Scripture?"

This place was the burial site of the Undying Immortal Scripture. If an Immortal Scripture existed, it must indeed be the Undying Immortal Scripture.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless immortals, but those who are called Immortal Monarchs are only a few.

And without exception, the legacies of Immortal Monarchs are the supreme Daoist lineages in the world.

For many years, people have been searching for the legacy of the Undying Immortal Monarch, but no one had truly found it.

Now, it appeared before Ji Chen and others!

"If we can comprehend the ancient Dao patterns on this stone tablet..."

The eyes of the four showed a fiery passion, but they clearly understood that comprehending something like an Immortal Scripture was not a matter of days.

Thus, the best course of action would be to take the stone tablet out.

However, Li Huainan tried for a moment but to no avail; the stone tablet was firmly connected to the ground and couldn’t be pried loose.

Wei Pingsheng also attempted to use the strength of his Dominator Body to forcibly pry the stone tablet from the ground, but he too failed.

Ji Chen was no exception; being able to crush the Divine Cicada with bare hands showed his Hongmeng Body’s strength wasn’t inferior to the Dominator Body.

Yet, after trying, there was still no effect.

"Are we only able to comprehend it here then?" Li Huainan frowned.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady said, "Immortal Scripture is extraordinary, profoundly deep, especially the Ancient Immortal Monarch Scripture, needing years of study to grasp the basics."

"But if we comprehend it here for several years... Our longevity would already be exhausted, wouldn’t it?" Wei Pingsheng also spoke.

The Forbidden Power here was terrifying, causing their longevity to drain thousands of times faster than the outside world.

No one in the world could endure a few years here under these conditions.

If they truly studied the Immortal Scripture here for years, they’d undoubtedly die of old age here.

"Can we imprint the Dao patterns from this stone tablet elsewhere?" Li Huainan thought of this idea.

But the Jade Pool Divine Lady directly shook her head and said, "Immortal Scripture Dao patterns cannot be imprinted, unless by another Immortal Monarch; otherwise, forcibly imprinting would harm the Dao fruit."

"I have an idea, but I’m not sure if it will work," Ji Chen suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to him. Li Huainan asked, "What idea does Brother Ji have? Feel free to speak."

"I know of an array; if successfully arranged, it can alter the time flow within its range."

"Brother Ji understands Array Dao?" Everyone was stunned, showing an incredulous expression.

Simple arrays can be arranged by any cultivator, let alone strong individuals of the Saint Realm or Emperor Realm.

However, some special grand arrays can only be arranged by master array experts after years of dedicated study.

Undoubtedly, the array Ji Chen mentioned belonged to the latter category.

"I have the materials needed to arrange this array, but here our cultivation is completely suppressed, so even if the array is successfully arranged, it’s difficult to activate it with Spiritual Power."

Ji Chen spoke, then glanced at the Jade Pool Divine Lady.

If guessed correctly, she probably carried some special Magical Treasures that might help activate the array, depending on her willingness to use them.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady remained silent but flipped her Jade Palm, producing a Crystal Bottle, and spoke, "Within this bottle is a drop of Immortal Dew; consuming it can temporarily restore one’s cultivation to peak, lasting about ten breaths. If the gentleman truly arranges the array, I would be willing to offer it."

Hearing this, Ji Chen nodded, then looked at Li Huainan and Wei Pingsheng.

Seeing his gaze, the two exchanged a glance, "Brother Ji, feel free to speak plainly."

"I will arrange the array, the Divine Lady provides the Immortal Dew, and both of you..."

"How about this: previously collected Divine Cicada husks, I’ll split them between myself and the Fairy, excluding you two. How about it?" Ji Chen smiled.

"This..."

Hearing this, the two were dumbfounded.

If speaking of their gains from this journey, the most valuable is undoubtedly the Divine Cicada.

It’s an excellent material for crafting Immortal Artifacts.

Originally, even if this journey ended here, they wouldn’t leave empty-handed.

But now Ji Chen said they wouldn’t get the Divine Cicada.

"Compared to the Divine Cicada, isn’t the opportunity to comprehend the Immortal Scripture more precious?" Ji Chen added.

The two were silent, feeling Ji Chen had a point.

Moreover, since Ji Chen would arrange the array and the Jade Pool Divine Lady would provide the Immortal Dew, they weren’t contributing anything, so they felt they should offer something.

"In that case... we’ll follow Brother Ji’s suggestion." The two finally agreed reluctantly.

Soon, Ji Chen began arranging the array, carrying the necessary tools and materials with him.

After approximately a half-hour, the simple array was arranged, covering an area just enough for the four of them to sit.

After the Jade Pool Divine Lady handed over the Immortal Dew to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen consumed it without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

The once calm Spiritual Sea regained its former vigor at this moment.

Inside, Spiritual Power surged and roiled, yet quickly calmed down again at an impressive speed.

Ji Chen was startled, knowing this state wouldn’t last long.

Immediately, he brought his fingers together and sent a stream of Spiritual Power to the array eye within the formation.
