Chapter 676: Soul
Seeing the barrier, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Now he can easily destroy a city, but cannot shake the barrier at all.
This shows that the quality of the barrier is extraordinary and was designed by an immortal-level being.
"Immortal level, does it exist in the immortal world?"
This barrier not only blocks him, but also protects the things behind the barrier.
"Why does the Empire want to protect the things inside the barrier?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled. He thought that only historians knew the answer to this question.
Boom...
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and landed on the barrier.
Suddenly, the barrier shook and seemed to be about to crack.
Jiang Chen's eyes widened with a serious expression. He saw a shadow emerging from under the lake.
"What's this?"
Jiang Chen said with a trembling heart, this phantom is too huge, like a planet, emitting a terrifying pressure.
"Soul." said the spirit of the bronze tripod.
"Soul, is it formed after the death of a god?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"The divine soul is a unique symbol of the gods. After the death of a god, the divine soul will disappear between heaven and earth until a new god is born."
The bronze tripod spirit said: "However, the soul does not exist forever . It will gradually dissipate and cease to exist."
"The spirit just now was obviously dead for a long time before it appeared."
Jiang Chen took a deep breath. There were actually spirits in the imperial capital.
"The spirit is the symbol of the strongest person in the imperial capital. Once it appears, it means that something strange will happen in the imperial capital."
"Even ordinary saints can't do this kind of thing." said the spirit of the bronze tripod.
Jiang Chen tacitly agreed with this. He believed that this was not only the imperial palace, but might also be related to the secrets of the Kyushu continent.
"Let's leave quickly." The bronze tripod spirit urged.
Both of them are at the level of Saint Emperor, but in front of the soul, they are as fragile as ants.
If a spirit descends here, it will be killed instantly.
Jiang Chen didn't want to take any risks either, so he quickly left the pool and returned to the shore.
"Master, you have to be careful later, these people are not targeting you." The spirit of the bronze tripod suddenly said.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I understand."
He just heard the elder of the Black Magic Hall say that the emperor's seal was in the palace.
Although the elders of the Black Demon Hall are powerful, it is simply a pipe dream for them to seize the emperor's seal.
The Emperor's Jade Seal is the core treasure of the Kyushu Continent. How could it be possible for the Black Magic Hall to take it away?
It goes without saying that the purpose of the elder of the Black Magic Hall is to lure me in, then take the opportunity to kill me and take the emperor's seal alone.
"I wonder if there are any experts in the Empire."
"Given the strength and ambition of the Black Demon Hall, it is impossible that they don't have experts."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared and landed on the shore.
Jiang Chen frowned when he saw the visitors. All of them were wearing black robes and masks, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
"Someone from the Black Demon Hall."
Jiang Chen's pupils shrank. The bodies of these people were filled with the smell of blood, and it was obvious that they had killed many lives.
"You are Jiang Chen."
The leader of the Black Demon Hall is an old man with sharp eyes that reveal a fierce aura, and his turbid eyes flash with cold light.
Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart, knowing that these people from the Black Demon Hall had bad intentions.
"You are from the Black Demon Hall." Jiang Chen said.
"Since you know our identities, why don't you surrender?"
A man in black shouted, "If not, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Jiang Chen shook his head. He didn't like the Black Magic Hall and even hated these people. He didn't want to waste time talking to them and took a step forward.
Bang!
Jiang Chen's figure moved instantly and appeared in front of them.
His hands grasped their throats, and with a snapping sound, his fingers closed together, crushing the bones in the throat.
Five bodies fell to the ground, leaving no room for struggle.
“What a fast speed!”
The old man in the lead's face changed drastically, he had never expected this scene.
"I was planning to give you a chance to live, but you didn't cherish it."
Jiang Chen said indifferently: "Then don't blame me."
After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his arms, and five sharp sword energies shot out, killing the old man.
"These people have reached the half-step heavenly realm."
Jiang Chen looked at the corpse on the ground and was shocked.
With such cultivation level, he is already able to dominate a region, but he is used as cannon fodder by the Black Magic Hall. I wonder how many Half-Step Heavenly Beings the Black Magic Hall has.
"The imperial capital is truly home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Jiang Chen thought to himself and continued to move towards the center of the lake.
The temperature gradually increases as you get closer to the center of the lake.
Jiang Chen felt a wave of hot air coming towards him.
He quickened his pace and soon saw a stone tablet standing in the center of the lake.
The stone tablet is round, a hundred meters high, and occupies two-thirds of the lake.
There are wonderful patterns carved on the stone tablet, which seem to contain mysterious rhythm.
Jiang Chen looked at the stone tablet, his heart pounding. He had a hunch that there was a huge secret inside the stone tablet.
"This is the imperial seal."
Suddenly, the voice of the bronze tripod spirit rang out.
"The emperor's seal?"
Jiang Chen was surprised and asked, "Could it be the treasure that suppressed Jiuzhou?"
"Um."
The bronze tripod spirit said: "There are four great Saint Emperors in Jiuzhou, and each Saint Emperor possesses a treasure."
"This imperial seal is one of them."
Jiang Chen nodded. He was originally wondering why the imperial capital was built so luxuriously. It turned out to be because of the emperor's seal.
"This imperial seal contains mysterious power. Only it can activate the emperor's tomb."
The bronze tripod spirit continued, "The scene you are seeing now is the power released by the Emperor's Jade Seal."
“I’m going to get it.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart burned with anger.
If he gets the emperor's jade seal, he can use the mysterious power of the emperor's jade seal to improve his cultivation.
"Let's go in."
After confirming that the emperor's seal was here, Jiang Chen took action immediately.
Under the lake is an ancient imperial tomb.
The space here is wider than outside, like an ocean world.
As soon as Jiang Chen came in, he felt that the surrounding was filled with rich energy, as if he was in a fairyland, which was intoxicating.
"There should be a spirit gathering array here, otherwise it would be impossible to produce so much energy." Jiang Chen thought to himself.
As Jiang Chen entered the emperor's tomb, a vast and majestic aura enveloped him, forcing him to lower his head.
"Hey, someone's here."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed some broken shoe prints on the ground, extending all the way into the emperor's mausoleum.
Following the shoe prints, Jiang Chen came to the center of the mausoleum.
Here, stands a huge stone slab with countless runes engraved on it and a mysterious aura flowing through it.
Jiang Chen looked at them carefully and found that these runes represented the writing systems of various ethnic groups in Kyushu.
He tried to read the words on the slate, and felt a stabbing pain in his head.
"hiss."
Jiang Chen covered his head and stopped immediately.
"The emperor's jade seal seals the characters of all ethnic groups in the Nine Provinces. It cannot be touched easily." said the spirit of the bronze tripod.
"Do you have any solution?" Jiang Chen asked.
