Creation and immortality: I can manifest endless talents

The words on the stone tablet made Gu Yang and other members of the team fall into deep thought. What kind of race is the Naxi? Why have they never heard of it?

"We must be careful. Obviously, there are things left by other races hidden here."

Tieyi's voice was low and firm, breaking the silence in the team.

Gu Yang nodded. He knew that Tieyi was right. They must be vigilant. Although his essence also belongs to the lineage of practitioners, what he showed now is Jiuyou life.

This Naxi tribe is obviously the race civilization that was destroyed before Jiuyou. It can be said to be the mortal enemy of Jiuyou life.

Here, any danger is possible!

As Tieyi's voice fell, the atmosphere of the team became more solemn.

Gu Yang and other team members held their respective magic weapons tightly, and their eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

They slowly moved forward, and every step seemed to be extra cautious.

Although this pure land gave people the illusion of tranquility and beauty, they knew in their hearts that there might be unforeseen crises hidden here.

Gu Yang walked in the middle of the team, and his eyes fell on a bush not far away, where something seemed to be flickering slightly.

He motioned to his teammates to stop, and he walked cautiously towards the bush.

When he pushed aside the branches, a strange plant came into view.

The plant exuded a faint light, and the edges of the leaves were inlaid with golden lines, which looked mysterious and beautiful.

"This may be an ancient spiritual herb." Gu Yang turned around and said to his teammates, his voice low and steady.

Tieyi came over, observed carefully and shook his head, "This is not a spiritual herb, but a poisonous herb called Brilliant Leaf, which can purify and weaken the power of the Nine Netherworld..."

Hearing Tieyi's words, the team immediately bypassed the Brilliant Leaf and continued to move forward.

They passed through patches of flowers and crossed clear streams. Every time they arrived at a new place, they would carefully observe and search, hoping to find more clues about the Naxi people.

Just as they were crossing a dense forest, a strange bird song suddenly sounded.

The sound was melodious and rhythmic, as if guiding them in a certain direction.

The team suppressed their curiosity and decided to follow the guidance of the sound. They carefully walked through the woods and finally came to an open space.

In the center of the open space, there was an ancient altar. A glowing crystal ball floated above the altar, and a faint halo lingered around the crystal ball.

"This is..." Tieyi frowned, obviously puzzled by the scene in front of him.

Gu Yang walked forward and carefully observed the altar and the crystal ball.

He stretched out his hand and tried to touch the crystal ball, but when his fingers were about to touch the sphere, a powerful force suddenly erupted and shook him back a few steps.

Others in the team quickly stepped forward and began to analyze the nature of this force.

"This is an extremely ancient protective magic power. We need to find the right way to remove it."

Gu Yang and his teammates looked around, looking for possible ways to remove it.

Just then, they noticed that there were some strange symbols engraved around the altar, which seemed to echo the halo on the crystal ball.

"Let's try to see if we can use these symbols to remove the protection." Tieyi gave the order.

The team was divided into several groups, each responsible for the symbols in one direction.

They began to try to touch these symbols with their spiritual power, trying to find the key to unlock the seal of the altar.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sun gradually set, but they still did not give up.

Just at sunset, when the last symbol was correctly activated, the halo on the crystal ball suddenly disappeared, and a gentle light emanated from the inside of the sphere, illuminating the entire altar.

Gu Yang and his teammates held their breath, waiting for the next change.

They knew that they might be about to uncover the secrets left by the Naxi people.

As the light spread, the stone surface of the altar began to move slowly, as if it had life.

They witnessed the stone slabs dislocation piece by piece, and finally revealed a downward staircase.

Tieyi broke the silence first: "It seems that this is the entrance to a deeper level."

Gu Yang nodded, indicating that the team was ready to descend.

They walked down the stairs lightly, each holding a weapon tightly, alert to everything that might appear.

At the end of the stairs was a narrow passage, with objects similar to crystal balls inlaid sporadically on the walls, emitting a faint light.

Although these light sources were not strong, they were enough for them to identify the surrounding environment.

The passage continued to wind downward, and the air was filled with an ancient and damp atmosphere.

Gu Yang felt an indescribable sense of oppression. He knew that this was the breath left by the Naxi people, full of mystery and danger.

They finally came to the end of the passage, and in front of them was a huge stone door.

The stone door was engraved with complex totems, which seemed to tell the history and legends of the Naxi people.

Tieyi said softly: "Looking at these totems, the civilization of the Naxi people must be very developed. Although I don't know why we have never heard of it before, I have a hunch that this time we may find some important information."

Gu Yang nodded and signaled the team to disperse and look for the mechanism to open the stone door.

They carefully observed every inch of the stone wall, trying to find clues.

Just then, Xiaolei, the most sensitive member of the team, noticed that there was a stone on the stone wall on one side of the door frame that was different from the others, as if it could be pressed.

Xiaolei carefully pressed the stone, and with a light "click", the stone door slowly opened, revealing a wide underground palace.

In the center of the palace was a tall statue with a solemn face and a scepter in his hand, which seemed to be a great leader of the Naxi people.

Gu Yang and the team walked into the palace carefully, and their eyes were attracted by a huge crystal screen behind the statue.

There were dots of light flashing on the crystal screen, as if something was playing.

Tieyi walked forward and tried to touch the crystal screen with the power of Jiuyou.

But before he could touch the crystal, suddenly, the dots of light on the screen gathered into images, showing the life scenes of the Naxi people:

Their buildings, rituals, battles, and their fierce conflicts with Jiuyou life.

Gu Yang's teammates watched these ancient memories with horror, and at this time, the ancient secrets were officially unfolded to them.

Before Jiuyou, Naxi was king.

Gu Yang and his team surrounded the huge crystal screen, watching the images in it intently.

As the light spots continued to converge, each image appeared extremely clear, as if they were there in person.

They saw the buildings of the Naxi people, which were simple and magnificent stone buildings with moss-covered roofs and complex patterns carved on the walls.

Each building exuded a vicissitudes and mysterious atmosphere, which made people have a deep respect for this disappeared civilization.

Then, the picture switched to the Naxi ceremony.

They were dressed in gorgeous costumes, holding various sacrificial utensils, and dancing around a huge fire.

Their faces were solemn and their eyes were firm, as if they were praying to the gods for something.

Gu Yang's teammates couldn't help but hold their breath, all of this was too shocking.

However, as the picture went deeper, a battle scene came into everyone's eyes.

The Naxi warriors, wearing armor, holding spears and shields, launched a tragic confrontation with the Nine Nether Life that invaded this world.

Bloody rain and wind, swords shining like snow, every collision is full of the tragic grandeur of life and death.

Everyone in the team was deeply attracted by these pictures, as if they could feel the courage and determination of those ancient warriors.

They couldn't help but reveal a trace of respect and sadness in their eyes, and mourned for this ethnic group that was obliterated by history.

The picture finally stopped on a Naxi leader, who stood on a high platform, holding a scepter, looking sharply into the distance.

Behind him was a battlefield with flames all over the sky, but his posture seemed extremely firm and majestic.

"Before Jiuyou, Naxi was king." Tieyi murmured to himself, his voice full of shock and thought. "So, are our Jiuyou clan invaders of this world?"

Gu Yang took a deep breath, he knew that these pictures were not only a review of history, but also a declaration.

The former strength and glory of the Naxi people, their grievances and entanglements with Jiuyou life, and the announcement of the imminent return of the Naxi people.

He turned to look at his teammates and found that everyone's expression became extremely serious.

They knew that they might face greater challenges, or even life-and-death crises.

Gu Yang waved his hand, signaling everyone to withdraw their thoughts and move forward.

They carefully bypassed the statue and went deeper into the palace.

Each step was heavy and slow, as if they were afraid of disturbing the sleeping history and encountering some trap disaster.

The picture on the crystal screen gradually disappeared, but those shocking scenes were forever engraved in their minds.

They didn't know what they would find next, but they understood that the picture they saw on the crystal screen this time had already changed their basic understanding of this world!

As time passed, Gu Yang and his teammates continued to explore in the underground palace.

At a certain moment, suddenly, the ground shook slightly, as if something was stirring underground.

"Be careful, there is a trap!" Tieyi's voice just sounded, and sharp arrows shot out from the walls on all sides, whistling.

The members of the team reacted quickly, each performing their own moves and waving their weapons to block.

Gu Yang was no exception. His figure instantly retreated, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand turned into a blade of light, cutting the arrow shot at him in half.

"This is a mechanism, we must find the core of the mechanism!" Gu Yang shouted loudly, and his eyes quickly searched the surrounding walls.

At this moment, another teammate's voice sounded: "Pay attention to the floor, there are slabs with abnormal colors!"

Everyone immediately cast their eyes on the ground, and indeed found that there were subtle color differences on some slabs.

Tieyi immediately commanded: "Avoid those slabs, they may be the switches that trigger the mechanism!"

The team members immediately moved their positions carefully according to Tieyi's instructions to avoid stepping on those slabs with abnormal colors.

However, just as they tried to bypass these slabs, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and then the crack quickly expanded and turned into a bottomless trap.

"Not good!" A team member screamed, there was a trap under his feet, his body lost balance and began to fall down.

Gu Yang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the team member's arm, and pulled him back with all his strength.

"Thank you Gu Yang!" The team member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Don't be distracted, keep moving forward!" Gu Yang said in a deep voice, his eyes were firm, leading the team to continue to shuttle between the traps.

Just as they moved forward cautiously, another mechanism was triggered, and the stones on the wall suddenly flew out, turning into huge stone fists, and attacked them fiercely.

The members of the team once again displayed their fighting skills, and the power of the Nine Netherworld turned into shields, storms, or directly turned into a stream of energy to smash those stone fists.

Gu Yang was not idle either. His sword skills were agile and swift. Every sword hit the weak point of the stone fist accurately and defeated it.

With their joint efforts, these waves of trap attacks were finally temporarily suppressed, but everyone in the team knew that the danger of this underground palace was far from over.

They continued to move forward, and every step was full of caution and vigilance, because they knew that there might be more deadly traps waiting for them next.

Gu Yang held the hilt tightly, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, ready to deal with the next unknown challenge at any time.

And the danger did not last long before it came again.

Gu Yang's heartbeat echoed in the dark underground palace, and each beat was like a war drum that aroused his vigilance.

The team followed closely behind, and the footsteps intertwined into a tense movement in the narrow passage.

Their eyes flickered in the dim light, like nocturnal animals searching for prey.

Suddenly, the wall of the underground palace made a low humming sound, as if an ancient mechanism was activated.

Gu Yang's intuition told him that danger was coming.

"Be alert!" His voice was transmitted in the team, and everyone's body instantly tensed up, ready to meet the unknown attack.

Then, countless dark holes on the four walls of the underground palace opened at the same time, and dense smoke shot out from them.

The thick smoke was like the messenger of the god of death, carrying the cold murderous intent and the smell of death.

"Defense!" Tieyi shouted, and a layer of deep blue light surged around his body, forming a solid protective shield.

The other members of the team also used their own defensive skills, and the light intertwined to form a line of defense.

However, the thick smoke was pervasive, and it only took a moment to penetrate the defense and invade several team members.

"Whoosh--"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew.

Gu Yang condensed the power of the Nine Netherworld into a huge fan shape, and then fanned it violently.

The strong wind whistled and the smoke drifted away.

Seeing Gu Yang's actions, others followed suit.

After a while, the thick smoke finally dissipated.

The bodies of the team members infected by the poisonous smoke were already festering... (End of this chapter)
