Chapter 287 The Heart of the Void!
The Arctic is a land of ice and snow, with howling winds.
Su Fan stood on the ice, his eyes closed, sensing the surroundings.
The Investiture of the Gods unfolded above his head, its golden light piercing through the thick ice and pointing straight down.
"It's right down there."
Su Fan raised his hand, and Chengyuan Sword slashed down.
boom--
The ice layer burst open, revealing a bottomless crack from which a faint blue light emanated.
Su Fan leaped down.
Deep within the fissure lies a vast underground space, its walls covered with ancient runes.
Those runes were older than oracle bone script, older than any other script he had ever seen, but Su Fan recognized them.
Because these runes are recorded in the Investiture of the Gods.
"The Eternal Demon-Sealing Script. The script used by ancient gods to seal away evil spirits."
Su Fan continued walking forward.
Ahead, a huge stone gate appeared.
The stone gate was a hundred feet high and fifty feet wide, entirely black, and covered with densely packed runes.
In front of the stone gate stands a stone tablet with four large characters engraved on it.
Unauthorized entry will result in death.
Su Fan scoffed, "Who are you trying to scare?"
He raised his hand and pushed the door open.
boom--
The stone gate remained completely still.
Su Fan increased his strength, but it still didn't move.
Su Fan frowned. How could the power of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal not be able to push open a door?
He took a step back and examined the stone door closely. Then he saw the grooves on the door.
Nine small grooves are arranged in a circle.
Its shape corresponds perfectly to the Nine Tripods.
Su Fan pondered, "The Nine Cauldrons again?"
He raised his hand, and the Nine Cauldrons flew out of his body and embedded themselves in the groove.
boom--
The stone door slowly opened, revealing a long passageway behind it.
Countless stone statues stand on both sides of the passage.
The stone statues included men and women, old and young, some wearing armor, some wearing robes, some holding weapons, and some holding scrolls.
Each stone statue is so lifelike, it seems as if it will come to life at any moment.
Su Fan walked through the passage and arrived at a huge stone hall.
In the center of the stone hall, a palm-sized crystal floats.
The crystal is completely transparent, with iridescent light flowing inside.
Beneath the crystal, a person was kneeling.
An elderly man with white hair, dressed in an ancient robe.
The old man knelt there, head bowed, motionless; he must have been dead.
Su Fan walked over and squatted down.
The old man held a bamboo scroll in his arms, on which were written densely packed seal characters.
Su Fan unfolded the bamboo slip and began to read it.
……
"I am the ninety-ninth gatekeeper under the command of Yu the Great."
"By order of Yu the Great, I guard this object and await the destined person."
"This item is called the Heart of the Void, and it was refined by an ancient god using his own essence and blood."
"The one who possesses this item can temporarily seal the Heart of the Abyss, preventing it from creating new demons for a hundred years."
"However, this item requires the power of seven seals to activate."
"It can only be used if all seven seals are combined in one person."
"If the seven seals are not complete, this item is useless."
"Yu the Great left a message: If anyone in later generations comes here with all nine tripods, the Investiture of the Gods, and the seven seals, they may take this item away."
"If no one comes... then let this thing remain buried here forever."
"I have been here for three thousand years."
"If I can't wait, I have no regrets."
"I only wish that future generations can destroy the abyss and restore peace to the world."
……
After reading the bamboo slips, Su Fan remained silent for a long time.
He looked up at the floating crystal.
The Heart of Emptiness.
The ability to temporarily seal the Heart of the Abyss is exactly what he needs.
He stood up, walked to the crystal, raised his hand, and grasped it.
hum-
The crystal vibrated, and a burst of seven-colored light erupted. A message flooded into Su Fan's mind.
"Infuse the power of the seven seals into the heart of the void."
Su Fan took a deep breath and activated the seven seals within his body.
Sun God Fire, Thunderous Punishment, Frosty Prison, Reincarnation Shackles, Five Elements Suppression, God-Sealing Chains, Nine Cauldrons Barrier.
Seven-colored light surged from his body and poured into the Heart of the Void.
The crystal is getting brighter and brighter.
finally--
boom!!!
A seven-colored beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the ice and soaring into the clouds!
The entire Arctic was illuminated by this light!
