Chapter 789: Enter, The Place Where Eternal Heroes Sleep (III)
This corridor was longer than Long Haochen had imagined. The more he walked forward, the more he could feel the cold aura, so much so that the psychic power in his body was stimulated to protect himself.
The warm aura spread in his chest, and a thick warmth spread all over his body with the aura of life, and after walking around, Long Haochen no longer felt cold.
There was a smile on his face, which was the power of Ye Xiaolei. Since Ye Xiaolei merged with him and became his wisdom furnace, she fell into a deep sleep. And Long Haochen also clearly felt the change of his body in the process of the fusion with Ye Xiaolei. When he felt a new heart growing under the energy of the Heart of Eternity, he suddenly realized that the original Heart of Eternity did not really bring him back to life.
Perhaps, the Heart of Eternity could always support him to live, but he could not be regarded as a real person without a heart. In a sense, there was nothing wrong with him to be called as undead. He was just a special undead with the domain of Light God.
However, when the heart grew out, Long Haochen clearly felt the perfect fusion of the Ye Xiaolei’s power and the Heart of Eternity, making him not only have a new heart, but this heart was also more powerful than the one before. What made him wonder that his heart had evolved, but the increase of spiritual power brought to him by the Heart of Eternity had disappeared. His inner powers were now about 560,000. This did not include the 90,000 spiritual powers originally added by the Heart of Eternity.
The coldness could not affect him so Long Haochen began to pace up. Indeed, he did not regard these Eternal Heroes as a threat, not only because he trusted his ancestors, but also because of his confidence in himself. By virtue of his own cultivation, coupled with the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and Hao Yue, even if facing the God of Devils, he would still have the confidence.
It was nearly three hundred meters downhill before the corridor came to an end. An arched gate appeared in front of Long Haochen.
The door was a double-open door, with many characters carved on it. If one were to look at it carefully, one could paint the scene of the war between mankind and the Devil’s clan. And there were two words written on the gate: Eternal Heroes.
On the stone door, many traces had been mottled. It had been there for a really long time. Despite the excellent materials, the years still left a clear mark.
In order to protect the Alliance, these Eternal Heroes had been sleeping here for six thousand years. Even if they were always in a deep sleep, they might wake up sometimes. They suffered from darkness and loneliness here. Compared to them, what we suffered before was nothing.
Thinking about this, Long Haochen could not help but make a deep bow to the four big characters of Eternal Heroes on the stone gate. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, he must correct the names of these 63 Eternal Heroes.
When he stood up straight again, he slowly embedded the Holy Mountain’s order in his hand into the only depression on the stone gate.
When looking closely, he could not help but praise the craftsman’s exquisite craftsmanship.
Ding— A crisp and melodious voice rang up, like the sound of knocking on a bottle made of magic crystal; the sweet sound reverberated throughout the entire corridor, and the strange feeling made Long Haochen’s mind clear.
Then, the two stone doors began to give off a faint luster, but the Holy Mountain’s order was still golden. The stone door slid quietly to both sides.
The thickness of the stone gate was more than one meter. They had existed here for thousands of years, but they still opened so smoothly. There was no doubt that these two stone doors were not only exquisitely made, but also inscribed with magic array inside.
The cold aura, at least ten times colder than before, poured towards Long Haochen and it instantly impacted his body. Surprisingly, the air inside was not impure, just extremely cold. The cold aura even made the breath of Long Haochen turned into ice.
In front was a dark cave, no matter how high Long Haochen was, it was impossible to see anything in that absolutely dark place without any lighting. However, this time he did not light the flame of light. Instead, he bowed respectfully again and said, “Knight Temple, Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, Long Haochen, here to pay respect to the ancestors.”
He did not step into the dark cave. However, his voice was full of heartfelt reverence.
Long Haochen’s voice echoed inside the caves and the corridors, perhaps because it was too airtight that the echo continued for a long time.
Long Haochen just bent over and had no intention of changing his posture at all. He maintained a respectful posture steadily and quietly. These ancestors, who paid the price of their lives for the Alliance and then endured six thousand years of solitude, were definitely worth to pay respect for.
“Although I am curious about why a young man has come to here, your respectful attitude twice made me like you.” A strange voice came from the grotto. It sounded stiff, and when speaking, there was a slight pause every two or three words, which sounded very strange.
Long Haochen slowly straightened up, hammered his left chest with his right fist, and made a knight’s salute again. “The ancestors paid a lot for the Alliance and for mankind, and the respect of the younger generation is due.”
The stiff voice sounded again. “You said just now, you are the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership. Where is that little doll named Yang Haohan? He seems to be about a hundred years old. Is he already dead at the hands of the devils? If I remember correctly, he should be the Sealed Divine Knight of Defense and Coordination.”
Long Haochen said, “Lord Yang is not dead, but he has given me the qualifications to communicate with his predecessors.”
The voice was a little deep. “It seems that something has happened to the Alliance. For the first time, the Knight Temple has a title called the Sealed Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, which has never been heard of before. There is another special case in which people pass on the news of our existence before they die. Come on, what do you want by coming here this time? Yeah, wait a minute. Before you do that, you have to prove to me that you truly are the Sealed Divine Knight. Judging from your exuberant aura of life, it should be in the prime of life. Does it mean that there is an unprecedented genius in the Knight Temple?”
Long Haochen respectfully said, “The younger generation’s name is Long Haochen, and he will be 26 years old in three months. What I have inherited is the power of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation.”
“What?” The stiff voice suddenly became high-pitched. Then, long Haochen felt a tremendous pressure coming. The pressure was not to push him out, but to pull in.
However, Long Haochen stood there motionless and did not even release his spiritual power from the body.
Scratch, scratch… Some strange voices sounded, and a faint green flame lit up not far in front of Long Haochen.
The flame burning was not exuberant. However, in this extremely dark place, when suddenly there was a light, Long Haochen got a little surprised.
The green flame appeared in the hands of a man who was two meters tall and lanky. He was wearing a tattered gray robe, revealing his iron-gray skin here and there. His eyes twirled stiffly, and there was a faint gray glow. This was not a person, to be exact, it should be a zombie, but his body was well preserved and there was no place that became rotten.
He slowly came to Long Haochen, and the scratching sound was exactly what he made when he was walking. His movements were so stiff that he could no longer bend his knees and he walked very slowly. However, in Long Haochen’s perception, the zombie was full of danger. And his perceptual judgment as based on his own practice.
In terms of age, as a result of becoming a zombie, he still looked like the person he was when he died, about 50 or 60 years old. He didn’t look too old. Ordinary people would have screamed in horror when they saw a lifeless zombie in this dark cave. However, when Long Haochen saw him, his face became more and more respectful.
“How do you do?” Long Haochen saluted respectfully.
The zombie said, “Let me see the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation,” in a tone full of excitement.
Long Haochen hesitated for a moment and said, “It doesn’t seem appropriate here. I’m afraid it will affect the sleep of other ancestors. It may even hurt them.”
The light elements of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation were indeed very powerful. If the power of the Imperial Weapon was shown here, the Eternal Heroes were likely get hurt directly, even though they were powerful.
However, the zombie smiled. “Gah. Young man, do you think the power of light will hurt us? Although I hate the way I am now, I have to say that the necromancer who made that Reincarnation Scroll was the first genius that I knew. His Reincarnation Scroll not only turned us into the undead, but also retained the attributes of our abilities when we were alive. Do you think that, as the builders of the first generation of the six temples, some of us would have the attribute of darkness?”
Long Haochen once again learned about the power of Deathly Hallows, the scourge of the undead, Electrolux. No wonder that Reincarnation Scroll was called a super forbidden spell!
“In that case, please be careful.” Long Haochen took a few steps back, and his eyes lit up.
There was a soft golden glow in his clear eyes, and then a sacred aura full of majesty spread from him. The huge light and shadow bloomed behind Long Haochen, but in this narrow corridor, the light and shadow of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation could not be fully stretched out.
