Chapter 402
402 Chapter 402, Underground Palace
To Yang Tian, even if there was some treasure in the palace below, obtaining it was not as important as having the little azure dragon rebuild its body.
The giant beast that was killed by Yang Tian did not have the little azure dragon’s ability to retain its consciousness in its inner core even if it died.
This giant Beast’s inner core was just a ball of energy. It did not have any signs of life, so it could be stored in Yang Tian’s storage bracelet.
Yang Tian’s black dragon spaceship quickly broke through the atmosphere of the red planet. Under Yang Tian’s orders, it casually flew toward the space in front of it.
At this time, all the cultivators on the red planet had reached the bottom of the pit.
The moment they came down, they saw the giant beast that had turned into a corpse in the center of the pit. It was obviously killed by Yang Tian.
The cultivators could not help but admire Yang Tian’s terrifying combat strength.
This giant beast was already dead. Its inner core had already been taken away. The cultivators were not interested in this corpse at all.
Some of the cultivators who had come to the bottom of the pit and were lucky enough not to die searched around the bottom of the pit. Finally, they found a hole on a stone wall that was blocked by the debris of the spaceship after the explosion.
The shape of the bottom of this huge pit was irregular. The space was obviously much larger than the entrance outside. When they had first entered, they could see a large hole with a diameter of nearly twenty meters. Now, that hole had been collapsed by the shockwave created by the explosion of the spaceship.
This giant beast had also crawled out from this tunnel. In the beginning, this giant beast was not as big as it was now..
It would be easy once they found the entrance. For these star-level cultivators, it was a very simple matter to move away the fallen red gravel and the wreckage of the spaceship.
The hundreds of self-conscious cultivators quickly took action and began to clean up the gravel and the wreckage of the spaceship. After about half an hour, they cleared out the closed cave entrance, which could accommodate several people.
As soon as the entrance opened, the cultivators rushed into the cave.
After passing through the entrance, the space became spacious. The further they went, the dimmer the light became. Everyone took out their lighting tools. Nearly 800 people moved forward in the tunnel, lighting up the entire tunnel.
At a glance, one could tell that the tunnel was man-made. The walls of the cave were filled with messy chopping marks. It looked like someone was holding a weapon and carved out a tunnel in the hard red rock.
The tunnel was twenty meters in diameter and had a continuous downward slope. It was hundreds of meters long. The cultivators moved forward quickly, and in less than three minutes, they finally reached the end, a huge square-shaped cave appeared in front of them.
The cave was not high, only about a hundred meters in height. However, the space was very large. The east and west were about a thousand meters long. Looking at the entrance of the tunnel, there was a large pool in front of them, and behind the pool.., it was a simple but very grand palace.
At the top of the cave, there were many small glowing spots, illuminating the entire space. As it was all Red Rocks, the light in the cave was somewhat red, giving off a mysterious aura.
The palace was rectangular in shape, about fifty meters in height and more than a hundred meters in length. It was all made of Red Rocks. In front of the palace was a row of red stone pillars with a diameter of a few meters, separated by a very long distance, one could also see that the stone pillars were engraved with runes… at a glance, this was the shape of the palace.
After exiting the tunnel, the hundreds of cultivators subconsciously split into two groups and went around the palace from both sides of the pond.
The giant beast that Yang Tian killed previously appeared from this pond. The moment it came out, it killed several cultivators.
At this moment, there were two corpses of cultivators beside the artificially dug pond.
Seeing these two corpses, the several hundred cultivators walked with extreme caution. This was especially so for the cultivators walking in front of them. Their footsteps were very light, as if they were afraid that there were traps on the ground.
Fortunately, there weren’t any traps on the ground. The several hundred people passed through smoothly and crossed the nine stone steps in front of the palace, arriving at the main entrance.
The stone gate of the palace was also engraved with runes. It was about ten meters tall and six meters wide.
Besides the runes on the stone gate, there were also nine protruding stone gates with regular triangles that were about ten centimeters long on the sides. These triangles protruded out of the stone gates and were about the thickness of a palm. Moreover, they were movable. With one look, one could tell that they were the key to opening the stone gate.
The cultivators who had entered this place before and were chased out by the giant beast touched these triangles and wanted to open the stone gate. Only then did the giant beast suddenly rush out of the pond and launch an attack on those people..
These nine triangles were both the key to opening the stone door and a dangerous mechanism.
Those who could cultivate to the star realm were naturally not stupid. Although they had only been here for a short period of time and did not recognize the runes on the door, they knew the method to open the stone door.
That was to press down on all nine triangles in the correct order.
If the order was wrong, all the triangles would pop out again.
Of course, other than entering through the main gate, some people would definitely think of another method, which was to forcefully tear down this palace.
But if that was the case, it was uncertain whether the ‘treasure’inside would be destroyed.
Moreover, this palace couldn’t be destroyed by violence. This was because the surface of the palace was engraved with runes, just like the pyramid they were hiding in the shattered bubble space.
When the ten or so cultivators fought with the giant beast here, the Saber Qi and fist force they released didn’t leave any marks on the palace.
Of course, as long as no special circumstances occurred, the cultivators wouldn’t have the idea of destroying the palace in their minds.
“Does anyone recognize the runes on the door? Maybe it explains the method to open the door. Even if it doesn’t explain it clearly, there will be corresponding hints, right?”
After arriving at the entrance of the palace, a middle-aged man dressed in red armor suddenly asked loudly.
After a moment, no one made a sound.
They actually didn’t recognize these runes!
However, this wasn’t strange. Cultivating runes consumed a lot of energy, and at the same time, one needed talent. In the universe, the number of cultivators cultivating runes was relatively small. Moreover, such talents would be fought over by the various forces and clans in the universe. They were like treasures, so how could they be sent to the shattered bubble space?
Seeing that no one answered, the middle-aged man in red armor sighed, he smiled bitterly and said, “Then we can only use a stupid method and slowly try. “Fortunately, we pressed the wrong order, and the button that we pressed before will pop out. In order to open it as quickly as possible, I need nine more people, each responsible for pressing a button, and I will be responsible for calculating…”
