Chapter 4576: Shocking History (12)
At the mention of this, Li Moying’s tense expression relaxed a little, even revealing a faint smile.
“Don’t worry. King Xiang has said almost everything. If we do what he says, we’ll be able to leave right away. Let me finish reading the inscription first.”
Huang Yueli hurriedly nodded her head as she raised her right hand and acted like an obedient baby, “Alright, alright, read it!”
Huang Yueli stood next to her husband and listened to his deep and magnetic voice echoing in the vast karst cave. She was a little distracted at first, but as she listened, she was drawn in, and the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.Aside from his interactions with the owner of the cave dwelling, King Xiang’s inscription also mentioned a few other things.
Firstly, it mentioned King Xiang’s Array Talisman which Huang Yueli had obtained from Ruijiang.
This was actually refined into a bronze door key. As for the ability to increase a cultivator’s strength, it was just an accidental feature upon successful refining.
The most important thing was that King Xiang had refined this talisman for the Devil King Ruiying. Therefore, it had to be powered by Devil Qi. Therefore, it could only benefit the Devil Clan and was almost useless to the God Clan! In addition, since the talisman needed to accumulate a certain amount of energy before it could be activated. Thereafter, it would be dormant as the energy had been drained after each use. It could not be used continuously.
Hearing these words, Huang Yueli finally understood.
No wonder she and Li Moying had tried several times, but they were unable to activate the talisman.
It turned out that the energy accumulated in the array talisman had already been exhausted by Ruijiang.When they thought about it carefully, they had been wrong about this matter. There were many clues in the past.
Every time the Devil Army fought the God Clan, it was not a continuous battle.
After each battle, they would pause for three to five days before continuing. Otherwise, Blessed City would have been conquered long ago.
At first, Huang Yueli had thought that the devils didn’t have any understanding of the art of war, so they didn’t have any idea how to take advantage of the victory in order to continue their pursuit. But now that she thought about it, it might just be that the talisman had lost its effectiveness and needed to be recharged…
She was also surprised by the fact that the talisman needed to be activated by Devil Qi.
This also meant that even if she obtained the talisman, she would have to use it carefully to avoid exposing the fact that she was cultivating with dark qi.
The second thing was that King Xiang had mentioned the location of this cave dwelling.
It turned out that this karst cave was discovered by him and Devil King Ruiying during their training. The whole mineral vein was extremely huge, and it went all the way to the underground, where Huang Yueli and Li Moying were.
Devil King Ruiying had gathered tens of thousands of devil labourers and spent hundreds of years secretly digging this mine and building a cave dwelling on the ruins.
However, just because the mine had been emptied did not mean that there was no source of Devil Qi in the cave abode. The truly important treasures were still sealed at the bottom of the mine.
“This is a piece of Empyrean Devil Crystal!” Li Moying added in a deep voice. Huang Yueli was slightly startled, “You said… Empyrean Devil Crystals?”
Li Moying thought that she hadn’t heard of it, so he explained, “I’ve heard that in places where Devil Qi is dense, a kind of treasure will naturally form. It’s formed by the dense Devil Qi that solidifies into the Empyrean Devil Crystal! It is said that this entire vein of devil ore was formed by the immense aura from that Devil Crystal.”
“I know, I’ve also read about it in the ancient records.” Huang Yueli nodded her head, but she was still extremely stunned, “But this kind of thing…. doesn’t it exist only in legends?”
