Chapter 558: Jade Rock on the Dao Altar

While Lin Xun was in shock, the elderly ape suddenly glanced at the Nameless Pagoda and said, My young friend, you would already be dead if not for the pagoda. Please watch yourself.

Following that, the elderly ape vanished in a drizzle of light.

The precious herbs in the field also disappeared along with him, leaving only the terrifying restriction power behind.

Lin Xuns body turned cold. What was the elderly ape hinting at?

Had the elderly ape not attacked him on account of the Nameless Pagoda?

Lin Xun fell silent.

The Five Elements Holy Islands origins were far too mysterious. It was unbelievable to think that it was actually a cultivation nursery for a hegemons descendent and not a place filled with opportunity and treasures like everyone had thought.

The elderly ape was evidently a servant who was guarding this place and possessed immeasurable strength.

However, there were a couple of points that Lin Xun couldnt figure out. If the elderly ape was an expert from ancient times, how had he managed to live till now?

And who was the Young Master the elderly ape had mentioned?

Lin Xun looked toward the purple gold sacred mountain peak where the old green palace with lightning scorch marks sat.

In the end, he began walking toward the mountain, deciding to explore the palace at the top.

Perhaps, it was there that he would be able to find out who had set up this Five Elements Holy Island and discover the secrets it hid!

Eh, the human youngster has also started climbing the mountain!

On the other side of the lava lake, someone noticed Lin Xuns movements.

Has he run out of patience and intends to compete with that woman Lin Lang?

Many Dragon Whale Clan experts speculated on the matter.

None of them had seen Lin Xuns encounter with the elderly ape, and thus did not know why Lin Xun had suddenly decided to climb the mountain.

Someone suggested, Young Master, the situation seems to be a little off, should we also begin to move?

Yu Xiaosheng had also become somewhat uncertain.

In the end, he shook his head and said, The restriction power is too dangerous, and an unimaginable disaster will definitely follow if we were to enter. Hence, we only need to wait here.

It wasnt because he was timid. He had been analyzing the island since the beginning and had already realized how terrifying it was. Since someone else had already entered first, he felt that there was no need to put themselves at risk.

Moreover, with the Blood Lion Clan Saintess, Lin Lang, and the human youngster already inside, the Dragon Whale Clan members would only face more danger if they were to enter at this juncture.

With a deep breath, Yu Xiaosheng commanded in a voice brimming with astonishing killing intent, Everyone, seal off this entire area and prepare yourselves. Well strike the moment they come out!

A majestic mountain towered over the island, wearing a shroud of mysterious and sacred purplish-gold qi.

There were no restriction power undulations along the way, allowing Lin Xun to quickly reach the peak and arrive before the green palace.

It was an old and grand palace that was made of some kind of green wooden material. Despite the passage of years, none of the wood had rotted, and every inch of the place seemed to give off an indescribable dao rhythm.

However, the palace was not in pristine condition. Numerous places had been scorched black as if they had been struck by lightning and were filled with an indispensable aura of destruction.

Lin Xun took a closer look. The wooden material was milky-green like jade and was covered in natural veiny patterns that resembled the dao traces. This was why it gave off a dao rhythm.

Even without considering anything else, the timber used to construct the palace alone was already a valuable treasure!

Swish!

Lin Xun took out a sword and slashed at one of the pillars from afar, intending to cut off a small piece to inspect.

Crackle!

A cyan thunderbolt suddenly rushed out from the pillar and blasted the sword into nothingness. Not even ashes were left behind.

Lin Xun gasped as fear filled his heart. If he had attacked with bare hands earlier, he would have been mercilessly destroyed by the cyan lightning!

What kind of timber is this? I cant believe it contains the power of cyan lightning!

Lin Xun grew increasingly aware of how extraordinary the place was.

With a deep breath, he circulated his cultivation and cautiously walked into the palace, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

The interior was extremely spacious and misty, making it appear mysterious and quiet.

There were ancient pictures on the four walls. Unfortunately, most of them were badly damaged, and all he could make out were what seemed to be the sun, moon, and people worshiping something.

There was nothing worth taking note of.

Lin Xuns attention was soon drawn to an altar at the end of the palace. It seemed to be made from some kind of purple metal and gave off a purple aura, making it look sacred and ancient.

Lin Xun approached and saw a passageway at the bottom of the altar that led underground!

Below the palace was the mountain, below the mountain was the island, and below the island was the lava lake.

So what was hidden within the unexpected passageway at the bottom of this mysterious altar?

Lin Xun grew increasingly curious. The Five Elements Holy Island was set up in a manner that was extraordinary and mystical. It had the five elements, wind, and lightning, and was covered in unimaginably ancient restriction power.

They werent there for decoration; they were clearly protecting something.

This something must have been hidden in the belly of the mountain below the palace!

In the end, Lin Xun gritted his teeth and decided to explore the passage.

Swoosh!

When he approached, however, a black arrow suddenly shot out from the entrance like a lightning bolt.

Lin Xun immediately evaded with the Hornless Ice Dragon Step as he swung the Broken Blade at the entrance.

Boom!

Resplendent starlight blasted the entrance as someone shrieked, Oh no, that human youngster is here!

The voice belonged to a Blood Lion Clan expert!

A cold smile rose from the corners of Lin Xuns mouth as he recalled that Saintess Lin Lang and the Blood Lion Clan experts that had arrived here before him.

Rustle!

Lin Xun dashed into the passageway and found stone steps leading straight down like a steep slope with no end.

He also caught sight of a Blood Lion Clan expert frantically sprinting down.

He evidently knew how formidable Lin Xun was and did not dare to face him. Hence, the Blood Lion Clan expert was going down to find reinforcements.

Lin Xun took a deep breath. His body began to glow as he circulated his cultivation to the limit. Next, he activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and rushed down like a phantom.

Swoosh!

On the way down, a golden club suddenly appeared and smashed at Lin Xuns head with deadly force and ferocity.

As if he had already foreseen the attack, the Broken Blade swept forth and chopped through the club along with the hidden Blood Lion Clan expert.

Lin Xun did not look nor slow his speed as he continued downwards.

Schlick!

Schlick!

Schlick!

In the subsequent route, Hidden Blood Lion Clan experts would ambush him from time to time, but all of them were decisively killed.

It was not long ago that Lin Xun had personally witnessed how cruel these people had been. They had viewed the captured cultivators as cannon fodder and forced them to their deaths.

Hence, Lin Xun was naturally not going to show any mercy.

The sloping stairs soon disappeared and a temple that had been carved out from the belly of the mountain appeared. It flowed with radiant sacred light that made the place as bright as day.

Hes here, hes here!

Abominable, we need to stop him!

Various voices sounded from the temple. Several Blood Lion Clan experts were standing there in defensive stances with their weapons, no longer trying to retreat or run.

However, the sight of Lin Xun still made their faces turn somewhat pale as their eyes burned with cold hatred.

It had originally been an extremely successful day, but everything had been destroyed by this very human youngster. He had nearly massacred all of their forces and made them suffer heavy losses.

Their hearts were filled with regret. If they had known this would happen, they would have never randomly captured this youngster to be used as cannon fodder.

Unfortunately for them, it was already too late for regret.

Upon arriving, Lin Xun did not immediately attack, but stood there and observed the surroundings.

To think that a palace had been carved out from the belly of the mountain. Moreover, it gave off a dazzling sacred light that made it appear mysterious and gorgeous.

There was absolutely no doubt that a supreme treasure was hidden inside!

There was a simple dao platform deep in the palace that was clearly a meditation area. However, a four-foot-tall jade rock had been placed on the dao platform!

The jade rock gave off five elements qi that fell around it like a light drizzle. One could just barely make out the silhouette of a sleeping figure in the rock. It was an extremely mysterious sight.

Chains surrounded the dao platform, sealing away the mysterious jade rock and the platform.

The most astonishing part was that these chains were made from dao true-steel and pulsed with terrifying restriction power.

A slender figure was seated before the dao platform with soft red hair flowing down her head like a waterfall.

It was obviously Saintess Lin Lang!

However, she seemed oblivious to her surroundings at the moment. The blood-colored copper bell hovered above her head as indescribable dao qi swirled around it.

A book that seemed to be made from gold was floating in front of her!

The most shocking part was that the book seemed to be sentient and was constantly struggling as it released bursts of radiant dao rune light.

However, the undulations from the blood-colored copper bell subdued the struggling book, preventing it from escaping.

It was clear that Saintess Lin Lang was using the bells power to subdue the golden sentient book!

Lin Xuns eyes narrowed. The book was definitely a supreme treasure that very likely contained the secret inheritance of the master of the Five Elements Holy Island!

Clang!

The Broken Blade vibrated as Lin Xun decided to move.

Dont come here! the Blood Lion Clan experts shouted with stern expressions. They were clearly protecting Saintess Lin Lang.

Scram! Lin Xun wasted no time and charged at them like a hornless ice dragon.

A battle quickly erupted in the temple. Lin Xun wielded his full power, crushing everything in his path like an unstoppable demon god.

For a time, the Blood Lion Clan experts were one-sidedly slaughtered, showing just how terrifying Lin Xuns combat power was.

Just as the Blood Lion Clan experts were about to be wiped out by him, an icy voice suddenly sounded, Dao Friend, are you really planning on killing them all and make an enemy of my Blood Lion Clan?
