Chapter 500: Goddess Lake Ruins and Altar (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yan followed the bright threads emitted from Xiaozhi’s body and climbed all the way to the top of the hill.

There was a huge pit at the top of the hill that looked a little like a volcanic crater. In the pit, there were broken bricks and rubble scattered everywhere. It was obvious that it was the remains of an artificial building that was incompatible with this world!

Lin Yan could tell at a glance that the ruins of this building did not exist in this Spiritual Realm fragment to begin with because they looked too real!

There were more than ten toppled and carved grayish-black stone pillars.

There were three circular table-shaped artificial objects with many cracks in the middle that looked like altars.

There were also green tiles and red bricks. Broken wood and ruins were scattered. It could be seen that they were once a part of the ruins of a house.

There were also many fragments of incense and candlesticks, indicating that this might have been a prosperous temple.

Their resolution was too real!

This made Lin Yan differentiate them from the surrounding ground and mountains at a glance, just like the difference between a photo and a real person.

Lin Yan walked down the wall of the pit and into the ruins.

At the top of the stone pillar were exquisitely carved lotus platforms. Among the broken walls, Lin Yan found many shattered small Buddha statues.

They were different from the Buddha statues in the Thousand Buddhas Cave above the human demon valley. Their eyes were long and protruding, and their expressions were filled with pity or anger. It was the style of the Ancient Fan Nation that Lin Yan had seen in the ruins of the Goddess Temple!

“Goddess Lake Ruins, Goddess Lake Ruins… Old Qin!”

Lin Yan grabbed Old Qin. “Old Qin, is this the Goddess Lake ruin that Monk Gu Chuan mentioned?”

“I don’t know… But Goddess Lake should be a lake, right? There’s no water here…”

“Water…”

Lin Yan circled the entire ruin. Those stone pillars were very tall and were broken into several sections on the ground. They were still seven to eight meters long. For no reason, he recalled that in the underground ruin, there were many jade pillars standing on the lake and stabbing into the bottom of the water.

Looking at the surface of the stone pillar, there were many shells and corpses attached to it. They were clearly layered. It was very likely that this stone pillar had been inserted into the water like the jade pillars on the lake!

Then, he looked at the three altars that were broken but had not completely shattered. There was also a circular pit below them that corresponded to such stone pillars!

Including the wreckage of the house, similar shadows of support pillars could be found.

“It’s very likely that these stone pillars, houses, and altars are buildings standing on the water. The ruins of the Goddess Lake don’t refer to the lake, but the various buildings on the Goddess Lake!”

The energy threads from Xiaozhi’s jade statue were pointing at the three shattered altars in the wreckage.

These three altars were very similar in size and shape. They were about the size of a bed and were shaped like petals. On one side, two straight edges formed a blunt angle of about 120 degrees. On the other side, there was a circular arc that formed a fan shape. The center was sunken, and it was just right for a person to lie in.

“When the three altars are combined, they look like a circle, but looking at the rounded corners at the edge, they’re clearly separate and not the whole.”

Lin Yan placed the three altars together, but they didn’t completely match.

In any case, the Spiritual Image seed was still trying its best to devour and absorb energy. It would not be filled anytime soon. Lin Yan squatted down and carefully studied the three altars.

“Old Qin, think about it carefully. What were these three altars for?”

Old Qin leaned on the altar and looked left and right. “I have an impression, but only a little… This seems to be… a bed? It’s for lying down!”

“Lying down?”

“Yes, I forgot what was done after they lay down. However, this is a little different from what 1 remember. This bed should be red…”

“Lying down, lying down… Wait!”

Goddess Lake, Goddess Temple…

Lin Yan suddenly recalled the mural he had seen in the ruins of the Goddess Temple embedded in the rock wall!

On the mural, three women were lying down in a triangular structure with their heads leaning against each other. Thinking about it carefully, the lotus platform under them seemed to be somewhat similar to the three in front of Lin Yan!

He reached out and touched the patterns on the altar. These patterns did not look like pure carvings, but like ditch patterns that could be filled and embedded.

Moreover, with just a few glances, Lin Yan felt that it was a little familiar. He quickly recognized where this sense of familiarity came from. It was the spiritual pattern!

Back then, he had studied the four treasure fruits, the Heavenly Demon Wall, and the spiritual patterns that appeared in the Heavenly Eight Dragons Array. These patterns gave him the feeling of those spiritual patterns!

But now, he already knew that the essence of spiritual patterns was life. The patterns on the outside were just a silhouette of the spiritual pattern at a certain moment. It was like a cube placed on the plane, leaving a square on the plane. It couldn’t represent the true form of the spiritual pattern life behind it at all.

As for Lin Yan, he didn’t have the ability to use the patterns to infer the spiritual pattern behind them.

He could only rub these patterns over and over again, trying to find some clues.

Surprisingly, after carefully examining the three altars, Lin Yan really found something on one of the altars. It was a pattern, and a small part of it was filled with a dark mutant color.

Lin Yan initially thought that this pattern was stained with dust and dirt.

However, there was no similar filth in the other patterns on the three altars. This was because the Spiritual Realm fragment here was like time stopping and space stagnating. There was no excess dust or filth at all. It was so clean that it did not look like the real world.

Thus, this dark and gloomy object must have contaminated it before entering this place. Furthermore, all the other places on the altar were very clean. Thus, this place was especially eye-catching.

Lin Yan took out a tile and carefully scraped off the thing in the pattern with his nails.

As soon as it was scraped out, these things immediately scattered. The particles were extremely clear. They were clearly not soil. They had the texture of sand from weathered rock formations and had a rather regular geometric structure.

Lin Yan suddenly thought of something. “What color did you say that bed was?”

“Red…”

“Specifically?”

“I can’t remember the exact details. It’s a very beautiful red color!”

Red…

The Demon God’s bone marrow was red!

Lin Yan stared at these fragments a few times. This altar happened to fall into the Demon God’s arm. There was definitely a connection between the two.

With a thought, Lin Yan took out a red jade ball from the immortal seed space. This thing had already become solid after being devoured and transformed by the Myriad Treasures Tree. If it was in liquid form, he could test it and see if this was what was filled in the cracks.

Just as he was thinking this, in the immortal seed space, the Myriad Treasures Tree suddenly shook twice. A strange power was transmitted from Lin Yan’s palm and enveloped the red jade ball. In an instant, the red jade ball was like a melted candle, turning back into a pool of ruby liquid that condensed in Lin Yan’s hand.

“The Myriad Treasures Tree is quite smart…”

With this bone marrow drop, Lin Yan directly took out one of the altars. He spread out his palm and dripped the red liquid on the altar.

The red liquid actually filled the cracks on the surface of the altar on its own.

Not only that, but there seemed to be cracks in the altar. Many red liquid drops seeped into the altar through the crack.

“Is this crack really filled with the Demon God’s bone marrow?”

Lin Yan was just giving it a try. He didn’t expect to get it right.

The red jade bayberry looked small, but its penetration was actually very strong. It actually filled all the cracks of the altar, and there were even more.

Therefore, the entire surface of the altar was covered in red patterns. It even seeped into the other parts of the altar, causing the entire altar to turn blood-red.

However, that was all. The blood-red altar stood there quietly without any movement. It was as if it was really a blood-red bed.

“Big, Big Brother! I feel that this thing is dangerous!”

At this moment, Old Qin, who was originally placed on Lin Yan’s shoulder, suddenly jumped off his shoulder and left the blood-red bed..
