Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 147 Golden Lotus

After waiting outside for a while, Yuan Changqing and his two companions went in to see what was hidden inside that Catherine was so eager to find.

This time, Catherine took the lead, after all, she had a strong feeling about this place.

Walking through the passageway, after a while, a set of stairs appeared ahead, leading down to the ground.

Yuan Changqing then said, "This place was very likely set up sometime in the past, and there are obvious traces of artificial excavation."

Catherine said, "Do you think this is some kind of ruin? There are quite a few places like ruins on the Douluo Continent, but this one just hasn't been discovered yet."

Yuan Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe so, but why do you feel a sense of destiny here? Is there something in this ruin that is attracting you?"

Catherine shook her head and said, "Then we'll only know what it is after we find it."

Yuan Changqing and the other two descended the stairs step by step. The situation inside was the same as outside, with white walls. It was unclear whether this was the original color or something else had caused it.

After climbing countless steps, there was another straight passage ahead. For some reason, entering this passage gave me a creepy feeling.

Yuan Changqing sensed something was wrong, so he quickly said, "Catherine, be careful. I feel like something's not right. It's like something's targeting us. Let's activate our defensive soul skills first, just in case."

"Fourth Soul Skill, Golden Double Shields"

Upon hearing Yuan Changqing's words, Catherine immediately cast a defensive soul skill on herself.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Vajra Shield"

Yuan Changqing also activated his defensive soul skill, protecting himself and Wang Yuyan inside the shield.

The three had only walked a short distance when they heard a sound coming from ahead in the passage. Then, something crashed into Catherine's defensive shield.

Noticing the commotion, Yuan Changqing quickly asked, "Catherine, what's going on?"

Catherine replied, "Honey, you were right. There was a trap ahead that could shoot arrows. Luckily, I took precautions, or I might have been injured."

Yuan Changqing said, "It seems they're preventing anyone from entering. Our journey might not be easy. Be careful ahead."

"Okay, I understand. You protect Yu Yan, I'll be careful," Catherine replied.

Fortunately, the next section of the passage was only attacked by arrows, and they did not encounter any other attacks. Yuan Changqing and his two companions passed through smoothly and arrived at another set of stairs.

Yuan Changqing added, "Now we've encountered such stairs again. We don't know how many more levels there are ahead. Moreover, the attacks we encounter may become stronger as we go down. We must remain vigilant."

Catherine added, "Yes, it seems we have no choice but to force our way through this."

Yuan Changqing then said, "Catherine, you should go to the back to protect Yu Yan. I'll go in front. If the attack we encounter is too strong, just put on the battle armor."

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing switched places with Catherine. Then, Yuan Changqing picked up the forging hammer. In this not-so-wide passage, sometimes using a hammer to attack might be more effective.

Upon arriving at another passage, sure enough, not far along, another sound of air being torn apart was heard. When Yuan Changqing's blue-silver shield shook from the impact, spears were seen continuously striking the shield. Seeing that his defense was not being breached, Yuan Changqing continued to maintain his defensive soul skill.

The first two levels don't seem to have very powerful attacks, but they are somewhat unpredictable. If you're not prepared, you might fall victim to them. I wonder what kind of attacks you'll face later.

Then, in the next few levels, Yuan Changqing and his two companions were attacked, encountering fire attacks, freezing, lightning strikes, and so on. However, the three of them managed to overcome all of these attacks.

After reaching another set of steps, Yuan Changqing said, "It's getting more and more dangerous up here. Moreover, all of these are soul-guiding formations, which seem to be quite old. I didn't expect these soul-guiding formations to still be operational. I can feel that they still have some power. If it weren't for the fact that so much time has passed, we probably wouldn't have been able to get through this so easily."

Wang Yuyan asked, "Brother Changqing, why are these soul-guiding formations so rare on the Douluo Continent now?"

Catherine also asked, "Yes, we've never seen these formations before, especially not outside. What's going on?"

Yuan Changqing still had some understanding from his memories of his previous life. Anyway, there were many different opinions and various speculations. Some said that the development of soul tools on Douluo Continent was very brilliant at that time, and they even created soul tools that could threaten the existence of gods. As a result, they were destroyed by the gods. From then on, knowledge about soul tools on Douluo Continent began to decline. However, Yuan Changqing felt that this possibility was very low.

Another theory is that when soul tools reached their peak, various forces began to expand, leading to an unprecedented war. This directly resulted in a ban on the development and dissemination of knowledge about soul tools. As a result, over time, fewer and fewer people knew how to make soul tools. Now, no one on the Douluo Continent knows how to make soul tools anymore. Even those who do know how only make them for daily life. Haven't you seen that even spatial rings are excavated from some ruins?

However, regardless of whether these things are true or not, they are all history now, and no one can say for sure whether they are true or false.

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't know either. There might be some reason why there's a lack of knowledge in this area. We can only make some soul tools used in daily life, but those are relatively simple."

Catherine nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, compared to these, they're nothing."

Yuan Changqing continued, "Alright, the fact is that even without soul tools, Douluo Continent still has soul masters and continues to develop as usual. So there's no need for us to pay attention to these things. Besides, our family has some knowledge about soul tools, which is enough for our family to learn."

Catherine nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. Learning about these soul tools takes a lot of time and effort. I think I'll just focus on cultivating my soul power."

After resting for a while, Yuan Changqing and his two companions continued their journey. After climbing the steps, they arrived at a huge palace-like space supported by many massive pillars.

Upon arriving here, Yuan Changqing felt that this might be his destination.

So he said, "This might be the place we're looking for, but we still need to be careful. There might be some hidden traps waiting for us!"

Catherine nodded to Wang Yuyan, carefully observing her surroundings to see if she had overlooked anything.

So, Yuan Changqing and the other two carefully continued through this palace-like space and went further inside, where they saw many statues that looked like guardians.

Looking at the statues, Wang Yuyan said, "There are so many statues here! They're like guardians, protecting this place."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Changqing had a guess in his mind: perhaps these statues must be the checkpoints here.

So Yuan Changqing said, "Be careful, these statues might not be simple, they might be our last obstacle."

After saying that, Yuan Changqing picked up the forging hammer, went to a statue, and smashed it down.

Sure enough, right after Yuan Changqing smashed into the statue, the stone-like covering on its body peeled off and it began to move.

Yuan Changqing felt that this might be a soul tool similar to a puppet, but it was wrapped in something by the creator and guarded here.

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing quickly said, "It seems we need to deal with these statues before we can continue."

Without using any soul skills, Yuan Changqing directly used his forging hammer to continue his attack.

The surrounding statues may have gradually revealed their true forms as the first statue awakened.

Catherine and Wang Yuyan then joined the attack on the statue.

The statues also began to fight the three with the weapons they held, including knives, swords, and soul tools similar to soul guide guns.

However, perhaps due to the passage of time, these statues had greatly diminished in strength and were quickly dealt with by Yuan Changqing and his two companions.

The three of them continued walking inside and came to a place that looked like an altar. There, they saw a golden lotus growing on it.

Indeed, it was growing, a living thing. This was something that Yuan Changqing and his companions hadn't expected. Deep underground, they would encounter a golden lotus growing here.

Yuan Changqing said, "Catherine, could this golden lotus be your destiny?"

Catherine looked at the golden lotus and replied, "That's right. I can sense that this golden lotus is my destiny, and it may also be my destiny to become a Title Douluo."

Then, Catherine said, "Honey, I think I need to cultivate here for a while. I feel that if I cultivate here, I can advance to the Title Douluo level very quickly, so we need to stay here for a while."

Upon hearing Catherine's words, Yuan Changqing asked with some surprise, "Are you telling the truth, Catherine? Can you really help me advance to the Title Douluo level?"

Catherine happily added, "Yes, and just now, I felt like this golden lotus was sending me some kind of message, so I need to stay here for a while."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait here until you become a Title Douluo before we leave. After all, your becoming a Title Douluo is more important, and everything else can take a backseat."

"Yes, honey, now I know why I felt comfortable when I came to this place. This golden lotus is a lotus with the metal element, so it is of great help to my cultivation. That's why I said that this place can help me reach the title of Douluo faster." Catherine explained her feelings when she came to this place.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Alright, Catherine, you stay here and cultivate. Yu Yan and I will wait for you in the main hall outside."

"Um."
