Chapter 428 A Legend

Liu Chengfeng tried a different method, shaking all the ancient sticks out of the tube.

Thirteen ancient fortune sticks, unfolded like a fan, are held in the hand.

“I have thirteen sticks here. Each person may lick one stick.”

Liu Chengfeng looked at all the ancient demon spirits.

All the ancient spirits stared wide-eyed at the thirteen ancient fortune sticks, their mouths watering so much that their saliva flowed like a waterfall.

"Good, good, good..."

All the ancient demons nodded frantically, so fast and urgently that they were practically echoing each other, so tempted that they forgot who they were.

"Is there a problem with you carrying me to the place I most want to go?"

Liu Chengfeng beat around the bush, avoiding the direct question.

"no problem--"

All the ancient demons shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.

Jun Lu Nan wanted to laugh out loud, but she pursed her lips, suppressed her laughter, and bent over. If she weren't afraid of ruining the adults' good time, she would have laughed so hard she was shaking.

Liu Chengfeng generously handed them thirteen ancient fortune sticks.

"One at a time, don't eat thirteen at once!"

The ancient demons were very particular; they didn't just grab all thirteen ancient sticks and suck on them in one gulp.

The ancient demon spirit beside Liu Chengfeng grabbed the thirteen ancient divination sticks, drew one out, took a deep sip, and passed it to the next person, who took a sip and passed it on.

He picked up the second one, took another deep sip, and passed it on.

…………

The thirteen ancient fortune sticks were sucked out one by one, passed down from one to another, and finally returned to Liu Chengfeng's hands.

After they had thoroughly examined all thirteen of the three lottery numbers, they had shrunk considerably.

Jun Lu Nan and the others felt a little disgusted watching the ancient demon spirit sucking on the ancient talisman like that.

But the ancient demon spirit didn't care at all, sucking on it with great relish. In the end, it was like being drunk, not only savoring the aftertaste but also feeling dizzy.

"Sir, we will carry you to the Fuzhu Ancient Shrine."

The ancient demon spirit let out a burp, and its steps became a little unsteady.

Junlu Nan and the others were worried that they might not be able to walk steadily, so they threw the sedan chair into the nebula.

"it is good."

Liu Chengfeng nodded, glanced at the starry sky, and noted that the Fuzhu Ancient Shrine was the last of the twelve shrines and the closest to the Starry Abyss.

The ancient demon spirits carried the sedan chair on the road, swaying and staggering like a group of drunkards.

They looked like they had eaten and drunk their fill, making cheerful noises like sedan chair carriers doing hard labor.

Why would a thirteenth ancient shrine be hidden among the twelve ancient shrines?

Liu Chengfeng asked casually, as if chatting with an old friend.

The ancient demon spirit felt particularly satisfied, and without any guile, it spoke whatever came to mind.

"It's not that the Twelve Ancient Shrines concealed the Thirteen Ancient Shrines; rather, the Twelve Ancient Shrines were built to cover up the Thirteenth Ancient Shrine. Later, when ancient demons prospered, the saying arose that the ancient shrines were used for worship."

The ancient demon spirits were open to discussing everything.

Why conceal the thirteenth ancient shrine?

Liu Chengfeng was startled.

"This is a legend, and legends are not necessarily true."

The ancient demon spirit let out a burp and swayed slightly. Jun Lu Nan and the others were on tenterhooks, fearing they would be thrown into the nebula.

"Just chat casually, no need to guarantee authenticity."

Liu Chengfeng didn't care.

"Legend has it that a terrible war took place long, long ago."

The ancient demon spirit drunkenly said that they were drunk, and had forgotten what they said, so it had nothing to do with them.

How terrible is the war?

"Hey, we heard that everything almost got ruined."

"Everything is ruined?"

Liu Chengfeng was surprised.

"Hey, hey, what universe, plane, dimension? They're not worth mentioning, they'll be wiped out like dust."

The ancient demon murmured in a drunken stupor.

"real or fake?"

Liu Chengfeng was utterly shocked! What level of war was this?

"They're just talking nonsense when they're drunk, so I can't guarantee it's true."

The ancient demon spirit shook its head.

"Yes, it was just drunken talk, whatever came to mind. And then what happened?"

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath.

"Some traces need to be erased and shouldn't be left. I don't know why, but some people just have to hide a certain thing."

"Sigh, hiding it for too long isn't good either. Life is so hard."

"It's not so bad, at least it still exists."

The ancient spirits chattered away, one after another.

Liu Chengfeng recalled the words the faceless stone statue and the woman in the yellow sand had spoken.

What war happened back then?

Liu Chengfeng asked them.

The faceless stone statue and the woman in the yellow sand were both silent.

"Is it you who want to erase the traces?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed for further answers.

"There are more than just one or two people who want to erase the traces."

Huang Sha Nu said lightly.

"why?"

Liu Chengfeng was horrified. A war that could destroy everything, and in the end, it would erase all traces.

What exactly happened? What secrets are hidden here?
"Some things exist, and the future is a disaster."

The faceless stone statue, with a solemn expression, told Liu Chengfeng.

"What disaster?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious.

"Everything has ceased to exist."

The woman from the yellow sand said softly.

"Everything is gone—"

Liu Chengfeng lost his voice.

Why has everything disappeared?

Liu Chengfeng pressed for an answer.

Neither the woman in the yellow sand nor the faceless stone statue uttered a word, unwilling to say more.

Liu Chengfeng could only mutter something under his breath and wisely refrained from asking.

"Do you know about the terrible war back then, who was fighting whom?" Liu Chengfeng asked the ancient demon spirit.

"do not know."

"Who knows."

"Legends are not to be taken seriously; they may be false."

The ancient spirits chatted amongst themselves, laughing heartily, spouting drunken nonsense, and then they forgot about it.

Liu Chengfeng asked several more questions, but Gu Yaoling didn't know the answers. They all seemed drunk and were talking nonsense.

Finally, they simply said nothing, and with a series of "yo-ho yo-ho" sounds, they carried the sedan chair, stepping on the nebula, and headed towards the Fuzhu Ancient Temple.

The Fuzhu Ancient Shrine is the ancient shrine that all demons in the world most want to enter.

Legend has it that the Fuzhu Ancient Shrine is filled with inscriptions of divine skills, all kinds of divine skills, including world-class, cosmic-class, and immortality-level skills...

However, it is extremely difficult to enter the Fuzhu Ancient Temple.

Many powerful demons and gods called upon their ancestors, and were swept by the green smoke to the gate of the ancient shrine of talismans and candles, but they could not enter.

The ancient ancestral hall is as tall as a temple, with old walls and bricks that exude an ancient atmosphere, as old as heaven and earth.

The gate of the Fuzhu Ancient Temple was not closed; the beaded curtains hung down, obscuring everyone's view and making it impossible to see what was inside.

The hanging beads are made up of ancient symbols strung together, with the rules as threads, forming a curtain.

It hangs at the doorway, its weight immeasurable; a single ancient talisman bead weighs as much as millions of worlds. Trying to lift it is simply impossible.

A great demon god roared, his blood energy erupted, his divine power surged, and his body became as large as the sky. He slammed into the gate, trying to violently break in.

However, the curtain remained motionless, and it was impossible to force one through.

Some great demon gods and deities observed the mysteries, deduced the runes, and tried to unravel the secrets and enter, but even the most powerful gods and deities gained nothing.

"May our ancestors protect us—"

A great demon god obtained a fortuitous opportunity. After the sacrifice, he took out an ancient artifact from his ancestors, and green smoke rose from the ancient shrine, surrounding his entire body.

The great demon god was overjoyed, thinking he could enter the ancient shrine of talismans and candles.

The ancient beaded decorations on the door curtain were also lifted up.

He succeeded!

The other gods were envious and jealous.

Then, something terrible happened. As soon as the deity stepped through the door, all the ancient talisman beads rolled up and were rolled into his mouth like a tongue.

A scream rang out, and the god vanished, leaving only dripping blood from the beads.

"What the hell is this thing—"

The god was swallowed whole, and the others were terrified and dared not approach.

"An ancient shrine brings both fortune and misfortune!"

Everyone understands this saying, but who receives blessings and who suffers misfortune depends entirely on luck.

"Do you still want to go in?"

Many powerful demons and gods were terrified.

"Since we're here, of course we should give it a try."

"Rumor has it that entering the Ancient Temple of Talismans and Candles is not a safe haven. If you comprehend the divine skill, you will be teleported out. If you fail to comprehend it within the specified time, you will disappear."

An old ancestor whispered.

"How exactly did they go missing?"

A god asked in a daze.

Everyone fell silent as they watched the blood dripping from the beads on the curtain.

Despite the danger, many gods still desire to obtain divine power.

A loud "Yo-ho, yo-ho" sound rang out, and the ancient demon spirit arrived carrying a large sedan chair.

The great demons and gods found it strange and unbelievable that Liu Chengfeng and his companions arrived in sedan chairs.

"Why haven't I heard of a third way to cross over to the ancient realm?"

A god muttered something.

"The Nine Dragon Court must hold some unknown treasures."

Many powerful demons and gods nodded in agreement.

After all, the Nine True Gods collected the most items related to the Mad Dragon back then, and the Nine Dragon Court is the most likely successor to the Mad Dragon Heaven.

Liu Chengfeng jumped down from the sedan chair.

"Come on, everyone. Go in and see how much divine skill you can comprehend. That's your destiny."

Liu Chengfeng told Jun Lunan and the others to follow.

"The Longevity-level, no, the Tribulation-responding-level divine skill, here I come."

Upon hearing this, Jun Lu Nan was overjoyed and quickly followed, clinging to Liu Cheng Feng's arm as if she were hanging on him.

"Can we do that too?"

Even Ming Tian lacked confidence; comprehending cosmic-level or even higher-level divine skills seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Liu Chengfeng waved his hand gently, signaling not only her to follow, but also the other officials and generals.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think this is your own home?"

The great demons and gods were dumbfounded, thinking it impossible, since even with the protection of their ancient demon ancestors, they couldn't get in.

Liu Chengfeng actually brought his whole family and so many divine generals with him.

"Not even one person can get in, let alone bring so many people."

A god sneered.

"Even a true god like the new emperor would probably have to go in by himself."

No one believed that Liu Chengfeng could bring so many people in.

"Fool, my lord is an unparalleled great man throughout the ages. He can enter a mere ancient shrine whenever he wants. What difficulty is there in that?"

Jun Lu Nan doesn't allow anyone to speak ill of Liu Chengfeng, and he's arrogant, domineering, and prone to cursing.

"Hmph, what arrogance! The ancient shrine is a calamity; Your Highness, you'd better not get eaten."

An ancient god sneered.

"What Your Highness? I am the Lord of the Dragon Court!"

Junlu Nan disdains it.

"So what if you are the Lord of the Dragon Court? If you dare to force your way in, the ancient shrine will devour you all."

Many powerful demons and gods were unimpressed, and without the presence of the Jade True God, they lost their reverence for the Dragon Court Heaven.

"No need to talk about ice with summer insects, just follow them inside."

Liu Chengfeng ignored the great demons and gods and gave an order.

"Understood, sir."

Jun Lu Nan didn't bother to look at anyone else, followed him, and hugged his arm tightly.

The expressions of the great demons and gods changed.

"Just wait for them to get eaten."

A powerful demon god sneered repeatedly, saying that entering the ancient shrine was not about having many people; no matter how many people there were, they would all be eaten if disaster struck.

The gods also sneered, wanting to see Liu Chengfeng and the others devoured by the calamity.

Liu Chengfeng didn't even glance at them, and walked straight to the door.
