Chapter 1886 - 1875: No Solution
Chapter 1886 - 1875: No Solution
Then, the temple fell into endless silence.
The white-bearded old man smiled gently, stepping out of the temple, his voice vanished, sealing the temple completely.
Ao Cangsheng expended great effort to open the seventh floor of the temple.
This effort was almost equivalent to the magnificent battle he had with the last Nine Shadow Dragon in the dreamscape.
After opening the door, Ao Cangsheng wasn’t surprised.
Because behind the door wasn’t a grand hall, but a huge landscape painting.
However, this landscape painting was not merely a simple painting. With Cangsheng’s proud gaze, it was evident the painting was an array map.
The array map was a Fourth Rank Heavenly Array Diagram, the kind of peak Ao Cangsheng could decipher.
After a rough examination of the arrangement diagram, Ao Cangsheng felt the problem shouldn’t be too difficult to solve.
In the next four hours, Ao Cangsheng devoted all his energy to decoding the array.
Four hours later, the complex Four-step Heavenly Array was finally deciphered by Ao Cangsheng.
"Whew—"
As a golden light flashed, the original images of mountains, rivers, grass, and trees began to change.
Beneath the array map, another array map appeared before Ao Cangsheng.
"This is still a problem."
Seeing another photo of mountain terrain, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but frown.
However, when he looked at this photo closely, he suddenly realized the image before him was merely a map, not a picture drawn by matrices.
Once the current formation completely vanished, the full map appeared before Ao Cangsheng.
This was a strange region. From the shape of the mountains to the rivers on the map, Ao Cangsheng could see the places drawn on the road were not in the Tang Dynasty.
As Ao Cangsheng frowned at this peculiar map, the map etched on the stone wall began to weather rapidly from the top left corner.
Seeing this scene, Ao Cangsheng was greatly startled.
It seemed the person who left the map had also made their move on it.
If you can’t memorize the map within the stipulated time, the map will gradually disappear.
Fortunately, Ao Cangsheng’s memory was astonishing. After the map weathered, he quickly engraved it into the sea of knowledge.
When the map was at ten to eight, the entire map was recorded in Ao Cangsheng’s heart.
"Sword Soul Mountain?"
Looking back at the place specially marked on the map, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but murmur.
The location of Jianhun Mountain was at the bottom right of the map. Particularly, those left behind were marked in vermilion.
Beside the label was a line of flying head characters. If you want to obtain the water tribe’s legacy, the primary notion is to go to Sword Soul Mountain.
If you don’t understand the key points, Ao Cangsheng stopped pondering.
As a descendant of the Shui Family, Shui Linghan should know something.
After leaving the temple, I’ll ask him again, just as Ao Cangsheng thought.
When the map vanished, only a black stone wall was left. There was nothing else.
Ao Cangsheng studied the stone wall repeatedly, fearing there might be another enigma on it.
Until he was sure the colossal stone wall before him was actually just a pure stone wall, Ao Cangsheng sighed and left the seventh floor.
The secret of the ancestral temple completely disappeared after his proud journey.
Until Ao Cangsheng came out of the temple, he realized. From the fifth floor onwards, each time he went up the stairs, he destroyed a layer of the temple.
After leaving the temple, Ao Cangsheng headed straight to the Dean’s Official Residence.
He wanted to ask Shui Linghan about Jianhun Mountain.
When Shui Linghan saw Ao Cangsheng again, he couldn’t help but be amazed on the spot.
A trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He couldn’t figure it out. How did Ao Cangsheng come out of the temple so quickly?
But when Shui Linghan returned to his senses again, a lonely color appeared on his face.
He felt the reason Ao Cangsheng could come out of the temple so quickly was primarily because he couldn’t climb to the final level, even the Sixth Layer.
Only by doing so could Ao Cangsheng come out of the temple within such a short time.
"Dean, what’s wrong?"
Seeing the dean’s face losing his sanity, Ao Cangsheng asked with a smile.
Shui Ling coldly returned to his senses, smiling awkwardly, "I’m a bit surprised. How did you come out of the temple so quickly?"
"Why, from what I heard from the dean, haven’t I been in the temple for a long time?"
Ao Cangsheng was also quite curious.
This time, he spent nearly a year entering the Dragon Shadow Illusion Realm.
Adding the time from the previous floors, it should be a whole year.
Such a long time isn’t short at all.
Yet Shui Linghan said he left the temple too soon, making Ao Cangsheng suspect that the time inside the temple mostly differed from theirs.
Ao Cangsheng stepped forward, mischievously patted Shui Linghan’s shoulder, and said again: "I mean, I was on the seventh floor!"
With the words said, the water became cool. The originally lonely and uneasy appearance suddenly turned into terror.
Ao Cangsheng’s words, like thunder, struck him hard, making his body freeze there for a while.
According to the Shui Family’s historical records, for thousands of years, no one in Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School could climb to the seventh floor of the temple.
Even at the Sixth Layer, only two people went up.
Moreover, at the Sixth Layer, none of them made any achievements.
Now, Ao Cangsheng said he climbed to the seventh floor, how could it not shock Shui Linghan?
"The Shui Family hopes for revival!"
In no time, the water cooled, the elder cried.
Seeing this scene, Ao Cangsheng was dumbfounded.
What’s wrong with the elder? Just now, he was fine. How could he cry like a child when I climbed to the seventh floor?
You know, he was ahead just now. It’s not suitable for him to cry like this.
"Dean, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay? Why are you crying?"
Ao Cangsheng raised his hand and patted Shui Linghan’s back, the back slightly curved, looking both surprised and comforted.
Shui Ling sighed coldly, suddenly inadvertently put two hands on his face, smiled and sighed, "Ah, I called you to see a joke."
"To be honest, I’m sad because I was too excited."
"You may not know, our Shui tribe, waiting for someone who can ascend to the seventh floor of the temple has waited for thousands of years."
"Until you finally reached the seventh floor. I wasn’t happy in my heart, so I cried tears of joy."
"Oh, that’s how it is. I knew it that morning, so I won’t tell you. If the Shui girl saw this scene, she would think I was bullying you!"
Ao Cangsheng said pouting.
"Ah!"
When the voice fell, he was heavily slapped on the back of his head.
"Dean, what’s wrong with you? You’re happy, you cry. Why are you hitting me now?"
Ao Cangsheng held his head and spoke in error.
"I told you not to act like a big-tailed wolf, you’re neither big nor small with the elder!"
Shui Linghan stared at Ao Cangsheng, raised his hand, and patted his forehead.
Ao Cangsheng was in pain, showing his teeth, but dared not argue with Shui Linghan.
"Just you are here. I have something to tell you."
After clearing Ao Cangsheng, Shui Linghan’s face returned again.
Ao Cangsheng complimented sincerely, "Dean, do you want to ask what I saw in the temple?"
He said, "Although I am curious about what you saw in the temple, the rules of the Shui Family do not allow me to ask about things there."
"Of course, if you are willing, I would like to listen. Just don’t need to be too specific. Maybe just say that."
"Besides, you can’t tell me anything more secretive. Otherwise, the ancestors underground will not be happy."
"Oh, it’s too troublesome. Forget it, it’s better not to mention it again!"
Ao Cangsheng’s eyes turned in two circles, finally sighed.
The Shui Linghan, prepared to listen to him, almost couldn’t breathe after hearing these words.
"Hmph, not saying retraction is not listening!"
Shui Lingleng said coldly and unhappily, the conversation diverged at this point.
"I just said I wanted to ask you something, not wanting to ask what you saw in the temple."
"Then what do you want to talk about?"
