Crown of Silence

Chapter 371 Shadow of the Ether Realm

For thousands of years, the blood of the gods in the East, the Ye family among the nine surnames of the dragon veins, and all the musicians who have reached the resonance stage have left their marks here.

They are near or far, guiding Ye Qingxuan on the road ahead.

But there are few people on the road ahead.

Ye Qingxuan has already felt a burst of fatigue and exhaustion, but the flame of the skull of true knowledge still provides him with strength, allowing him to fly deeper into this ocean.

Until the end, he saw that familiar figure.

That ethereal figure stood alone at the highest point, like the moonlight hanging high, as if waiting for the latecomers with a smile.

"Father?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

Until here, he has followed his own path as a musician and walked into the deepest part of the Ether Sea.

His perception of the Ether Realm has also reached an unprecedented clarity.

It was like standing at the highest point of the earth, gazing at the starry sky, and seeing countless rolling nebulae in the starry sky - that was the territory and nest of the natural disaster demons, or the scepters and temples of the kings and saints of the previous generations.

The most eye-catching thing was the temple shrouded in sacred light. Countless magnificent songs were played in the temple, and saints like stars stood, illuminating the layers of darkness like the sun.

That was the "Holy City" created by the first three kings. In it, countless saints and scepters of the Holy Spirit surrounded it like satellites, combined into one, like a field of stars.

In another distant place, Ye Qingxuan sensed a huge abyss again, the darkness was dense, and endless wails emerged from it. It seemed that countless huge figures were hidden in the darkness, and those figures were looming in the darkness, outlining a maddening and terrible outline.

When he looked at the abyss, the abyss seemed to be looking at it too.

The terrifying emblem of the Eye in the Eye emerged in it.

That is the domain of the Hundred Eyes, the original darkness of the world, and the place where all evils are gathered.

Ye Qingxuan just took a look and felt flustered and breathless, and dared not look again. And in other places, there are countless scepter domains running.

Some scepter domains are like huge scorching suns, which make people involuntarily feel heartbroken, but they lose their spirit, as if they are sleeping - that is the throne of the Kingdom of Burgundy - the certificate of the Sun King. However, the position of the Sun King has been vacant for a hundred years, and no ruler has come to the throne so far.

And in the east, Ye Qingxuan can feel a huge high wall, extending for thousands of miles.

On the high wall-like barrier, countless beacon towers burn with eternal light, which is the incarnation of the Holy Spirit. The light interweaves into a realm, resisting all darkness and attacks, and firmly covering the land in the east.

For hundreds of years, the saints of the nine surnames of the dragon veins have not been welcomed into the holy city after death, but have been integrated into this terrifying realm and become part of it.

The emperor of the East and the nine dragon veins spent hundreds of years to create this terrifying war weapon to resist natural disasters outside the boundary.

Then, Ye Qingxuan sensed the position of Anglo, and the shadow of the Holy Grail was faintly revealed. The legendary artifact, the Holy Grail of Destruction, was shrouded above the country, exuding a cold murderous intent, making people dare not approach.

And in the deeper void, Ye Qingxuan sensed a broken city... It was the fallen shadow of Avalon! The moment he sensed it, the city in the shadow suddenly rang the bell.

The resonance between the Avalon Great Barrier and Xiaoyuan was so clear, and it was defenseless against him.

If Ye Qingxuan wanted to use the power of others to enter Xiaoyuan, he should now fix his origin in the fallen shadow of Avalon. In this way, not only can he achieve the resonance level, but he can also inherit the shadow of Avalon in the future and jump into the scepter level.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingxuan had no intention of touching this mess that had not been settled for hundreds of years, and even planned to keep the distance as far as possible...

At the same time, he sensed a realm that seemed to have lost contact and drifted to the depths of the etheric realm. When he looked over in confusion, he saw countless tombstones standing in that realm, as desolate and ancient as a cemetery.

He could see that his name was written on one of the tombstones! The lights under all the tombstones had gone out, and only a solitary lamp was lit in front of his own tombstone.

The light was like a bean, and Ye Qingxuan suddenly realized.

That was the place where he opened the door of the musician and signed a contract with Dayuan...At the same time, it was also the realm that the Ye family had passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. And the moment he sensed it, he only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the sense quickly became blurred.

In his hand, the flame of the Skull of True Knowledge, like a candle in the wind, trembled and went out.

Just at this time!

Before Ye Qingxuan could react, he felt his senses fading rapidly and he fell from the sky.

And at the moment of falling, he looked back and saw his direction.

The desolate land of Romulus... was surging with light!

Countless lights flowed under the earth like rivers, gathering in the underground palace. In the underground palace, he faintly saw a door.

That was the door that could only be seen with the help of the firelight in the remains of the saints!

Door? !

Late at night, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes from the darkness.

In his hands, the exhausted skull of truth turned into ashes and fell from his fingers.

But Ye Qingxuan didn't care about the loss, but felt ecstatic!

Just completing part of the ‘completion phase’ ahead of time and integrating his chaotic music theory system is worth the money. Moreover, after this experience, his strength has made great progress.

I believe that in a short time, even if he does not break through the barrier of knowledge and insight, he can enhance his induction and find the origin.

And now, more importantly, he finally found the clues hidden in the underground palace!

"Sure enough, the problem is still hidden in the temple..."

Ye Qingxuan muttered to himself, quickly packed up his things, put on the Ren Du armor under his coat again, opened the window, and ran towards the direction of the mine quietly in the night.

-

Just upstairs from him, among the takeaway boxes and unwashed dishes on the floor, the snoring Master Anglo turned over and glanced at the direction he left in a daze.

"Why are you running so late?"

He muttered, flicked his fingers, and continued to sleep with his head covered.

Beside his bed, something flickered faintly.

——

In the silent underground palace, Ye Qingxuan walked quickly, bypassing the musicians who stayed up all night looking for clues. He walked into the temple without attracting anyone's attention.

In the silent temple, there were only debris all over the ground.

Those statues were smashed by the musicians in a frenzy, and the precious cultural relics turned into fragments. This is also the reason why Ye Qingxuan was reluctant to come here. As an ancient scholar, it was really uncomfortable to see these.

Eleven statues were all smashed, the walls were also bumpy, and the ceiling was full of holes after digging three feet into the ground... Ye Qingxuan sighed and shook his head slowly: the history and past of a nation were completely destroyed like this.

Some places have been directly crushed to pieces.

It is impossible to repair them even if you want to.

Ye Qingxuan strolled in the dilapidated temple, looking at the eleven statues: the father of thunder and lightning, whose prototype was the Holy Spirit Aeneas, the mother of gods, who was later worshipped and deified by Aeneas' wife, and their children: the god of light, the god of love, the goddess of hunting, the two-faced god of war, the god of secrets, and another god of wine, the god of wealth...

Ye Qingxuan walked a circle, then walked another circle, and counted again in his mind, counted again, and counted again... In the end, he finally confirmed: his guess was correct.

There are twelve gods recorded in the ancient books that Caligula gave him, but there are only eleven here!

Ye Qingxuan paused and stopped between the gaps between the two statues.

There should be another statue right here.

Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of travelers.

In the Pantheon of Romulus, Mercury's domain is travel and messenger, and in the ancient Romulan language, musicians are called "Black Marquis" like messengers.

On the day he entered, Abraham told him: Musicians also serve as messengers.

In ancient Romulus, musicians were loyal to the temple and conveyed the will of the gods.

——'Ether' is a messenger who guides the lost son back to the source.

Therefore, in Mercury's domain, there is also the priesthood of musicians!

The prototype of this fictional god comes from the oasis in the desert of Thebes, the birthplace of mankind thousands of years ago. People there respectfully call it "Thoth", the god of wisdom.

Among the gods of Romulus, although Mercury's status is not high, his position is undoubtedly crucial. It is absolutely impossible to omit his existence in order to save space.

Then, this also means: its statue was deliberately ignored!

In order to put something together...

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, looking at the gap between the two statues. The more he looked, the more familiar it looked, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Finally, a fleeting image flashed through his mind.

He took out a crumpled map from his arms, compared the two, and finally confirmed his judgment - he had indeed seen this place, in the graffiti that Elsa drew for him during the buy-one-get-one-free sale!

On the back of the map, in Elsa's graffiti, the image of this corner was clearly depicted, but the graffiti looked blurry and weird, and he could hardly recognize it.

But in the graffiti, this place is not empty, there is clearly a door!

Ye Qingxuan walked forward and touched the bumpy wall, only to feel a burst of coldness. The rock layer was solid, so where was the door? Not to mention the door, there was not even a hole behind it!

He lowered his head again to look at the graffiti on the back of the map. After looking at it for a long time, his expression became more and more helpless: Elsa's painting style was too rough, she was completely a soul painter. Everything was crooked and it was impossible to tell what it was originally.

Even on the door, I don't know what was drawn in the crooked way. Ye Qingxuan spent a long time looking at it, and then he took out his pocket watch from his pocket, compared it with the reference, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Those two crooked lines turned out to be a double snake emblem!

Was it a test of my imagination to draw it here!
