Chapter 787

The gray stone tablet was only about half a meter tall and looked inconspicuous. It was placed not far from the main hall's steps.

Gu Ding passed through the temple and walked along the bluestone path. After a few kilometers, he arrived at the main hall.

He noticed the stone tablet that the mansion spirit had mentioned. At first glance, there was nothing special about it.

"There's a time limit to decipher this stone tablet. According to my master, if you don't make any progress after a month, you'll be out of luck. However, to prevent missing out on a good inheritor, he gave you more time. If you can't decipher the stone tablet's true content in three months, you'll fail the test. I'll teleport you out, but your two trapped friends will have to stay. "

The mansion spirit's voice came again.

On the other hand, Gu Ding did not seem to hear him. His eyes were fixed on the stone tablet.

"The words on it are actually made up of Heavenly Path veins. It's similar to the 'Icefire Mansion' stone tablet, but much more complicated."

After confirming that the stone tablet was related to Heavenly Path veins, Gu Ding touched the stone tablet with one hand.

The house spirit did not seem surprised and did not say anything else. Its previous owner had already tested the stone monument. Even an Extreme Lord-Level powerhouse could not leave the slightest mark on the stone monument. There was no need to worry about Gu Ding damaging it.

Gu Ding's mind quickly searched for the symbols of Heavenly Path veins. He searched for the Heavenly Path veins hidden in the patterns and words on the stone tablet.

It only took a moment for the corners of his mouth to rise high.

He stretched out his index finger and swiped at the bottom of one of the words. Then, he quickly found the Heavenly Path veins hidden in the second and third words.

There were a total of thirty-two Heavenly Path veins. Twenty-eight were hidden in the ancient words in the center of the stone tablet, and four were hidden in the patterns on the edge of the stone tablet.

When Gu Ding finished copying all thirty-two veins, the gray stone tablet began to tremble. The entire island and even the Secret Realm began to tremble.

"Did Gu Ding cause this tremor?" Phaser looked in the direction where Gu Ding had left.

"It should be Gu Ding." Neptune's sense of Gu Ding had been blocked the moment Gu Ding entered Combat Temple. However, he was certain that Gu Ding was the one who had caused the disturbance. Moreover, he had a feeling that the vibration was a good thing.

"Where did this kid come from?!" The Mansion Spirit was completely astonished. "Master spent several epochs and still couldn't decipher the mystery of this stone tablet, but this kid actually used less than a minute to decipher it!"

After a series of tremors, the gray stone layer on the surface began to fade, revealing the golden texture inside.

As the golden light grew brighter, the power emitted by the golden stele also grew stronger.

The entire space where the Icefire Mansion was located was constantly trembling. Even the Mansion Spirit was afraid of that energy and was stunned for a moment.

Outside the space where Ice Flame Mansion was located, the storm in the sky above the sea became more and more violent. The entire first layer of the sea was in turmoil and there was almost no place that was safe.

Even the second layer of the sea was beginning to be penetrated by the lightning above, causing many experts in the second layer to be in a sorry state.

In the third layer of the sea, countless volcanoes began to enter a state of eruption, causing many experts to stop harvesting and hide in the second layer of the sea.

"What the hell happened?!" Among them, the most confused were the members of the Sea Clan.

"Not only did the Magic Waterfall not close at the normal time, but now there is such a terrifying vibration. Something must have happened in this secret realm."

A golden-haired woman in silver armor had a worried look on her face. Her lower body was a golden fish tail, and it was obvious that she was a member of the Sea Race.

"Little princess, let's hide in the second layer of the sea for a while. After the vibration is over, it won't be too late to go down to the third layer of the sea to find the cause," a strong man with a silver fish tail comforted her.

"I don't think this vibration was caused by the third layer of the sea. Our Sea Clan has explored the Magic Waterfall secret realm countless times. Although the bottom of the third layer of the sea has not been completely explored, there are only a few extremely deep trenches that no one has explored. I suspect this vibration is most likely caused by the Magic Waterfall below, and it's very likely that someone entered the Magic Waterfall. " The person who said this was also a man with a silver fish tail. He had golden curly hair and was as handsome as a woman.

"However, it's not that our Sea Clan has not explored this Magic Waterfall before, but no one has ever come out alive. We can't let the princess take this risk! "A man with a black fish tail next to him shouted in a deep voice.

"I've heard about this Magic Waterfall from my father. Our Sea Clan has indeed explored it many times, but since only those below heavenly god-level can enter, and there aren't many precious treasures, we didn't pay much attention to it. There are very few powerhouses with combat strength that have reached high-rank True God who came in to explore. The real geniuses and geniuses in the clan all enter the clan's private secret realms. Nobody is willing to come here. "

"I'm here this time because I heard that someone obtained a heavenly god-level weapon when it opened last time. Now it seems that person probably entered the Magic Waterfall and came out alive. As far as I know, that person is a member of the Copper-Armed Demon Tribe. He has an extremely powerful physical body. "

As the little princess of the Sea Clan, the golden-haired lady naturally knew some secret information that was not known to others. Because of this information, she decided to explore this secret realm, hoping to find out the secrets hidden in this secret realm.

"I've decided. When this vibration is over, I'll go down the waterfall and have a look!" The golden-haired lady said decisively.

"Little princess, it's too dangerous!" The three of them immediately dissuaded her.

"I have a treasure that my father gave me. Unless it's a lord-level powerhouse, they won't be able to hurt me. If you guys don't want to go with me, I'll go by myself! "The golden-haired lady clearly did not want to change her mind.

"That's even more unacceptable!" The man with a black fish tail disagreed even more.

"Forget it, let's go with the princess. We have some treasures that can be used for defense anyway. The chances of success will be higher if we work together. "The handsome man chose to compromise.

"Our abilities should be much stronger than that Copper-Armed Demon. If he can escape, we should be able to too." The tall, strong man was very confident in his abilities.

"Since the little princess insists, that's the only way." The man with a black fish tail saw that the two of them had agreed and could only nod.

…

"Gu Ding, hurry up and put away that stone tablet! If it continues to emit pressure, the entire secret realm will collapse. I can't hold it anymore! "After being stunned for a moment, the mansion spirit finally reacted and shouted at Gu Ding anxiously.

Gu Ding did not know what to do, but he realized that he was not affected by the stone tablet's pressure. Only then did he reach out toward the golden stone tablet.

Unexpectedly, before Gu Ding could touch the stone tablet, the stone tablet shrunk into a golden ray and disappeared between Gu Ding's eyebrows. Only then did the trembling of the secret realm slowly stop.

"Your comprehension ability is truly astonishing. Back then, after my master obtained this stone tablet by accident, he spent several epochs without being able to decipher the contents of the stone tablet. The reason why he placed the stone tablet here was because he hoped that his successor would be stronger than him in the future. When he was alive, he said that if anyone could understand the contents of the stone tablet, it would not be difficult for them to become a Lord-level powerhouse. "After Gu Ding deciphered the stone tablet, the mansion spirit did not hide the difficulty of the test anymore.

"You said that if you pass the four tests, you can receive your master's inheritance and become the master of Iceflame Mansion. Can you tell me who your master is? " After going through the tests, Gu Ding knew that the master of Iceflame Mansion should be an amazing powerhouse. Moreover, he was about to receive his inheritance, so he wanted to know what kind of person he was.

"My master is called Caesar. He is a powerhouse who is a perfected lord-level powerhouse and is only one step away from becoming a Lord-level. He is also a big shot in the Main Plane. You'll know the specifics when you accept the inheritance. In fact, the process of receiving the inheritance is also a test. If one's body and soul are not strong enough, it is very likely that they will die in the process. That's why my master set up the first two tests to prevent this kind of thing. However, as a powerhouse who achieved excellence in the first two tests, the success rate of receiving the inheritance should be above 90%. As long as you don't get distracted during the inheritance process, it should not be a big problem. As for the third test, it is also because my master does not want his successor to be too weak in actual combat. "

"I understand now!" Gu Ding did not expect the master of Iceflame Mansion to have such a powerful background. After all, before coming to the Magic Waterfall, he heard that this secret realm was only a beginner-level public secret realm.

He took a step and appeared at the entrance of the main hall. The vermilion door of the main hall opened automatically with a rumble.

"What a magnificent palace!" Gu Ding stepped into it and could not help but exclaim.

The spherical dome of the entire palace was a translucent gold. It was inlaid with countless gems and rare metals of various colors, emitting energy waves as vast as the sea.

Inside the palace, twelve giant pillars connected directly from the ground to the dome. The twelve pillars also emitted a strong suppression power, which was obviously not ordinary. There were all kinds of exotic beasts carved on them, many of which Gu Ding had never heard of, but he could also feel the vast aura of those carvings.

As for the ground, it was all cast with dark golden bricks, smooth as a mirror. There was not even a trace of friction, and it exuded a heavy aura. Although Gu Ding could not recognize what kind of metal it was, he could feel that it was definitely not an ordinary material.

In the middle of the main hall, there was a strangely shaped chair made entirely of various weapons. Gu Ding could clearly recognize that there were sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. There were even some weapons that he could not name, but all of them exuded a terrifying power.

The voice of the mansion spirit came slowly.

"This dome was built by the best master in the main plane. It took Master nearly three eras to build it. All kinds of gems and metals are embedded in it, and they all contain terrifying energy. They provide the entire palace with the energy to protect it."

"These twelve giant pillars are made of the Dead Realm Sand from the bottom of the Dead Realm Ocean. The carvings on them are the souls of the monsters that the master killed in his lifetime and suppressed inside. As long as you use the right method to summon them, they can condense and take shape to protect the palace. Every single pillar has an extreme Overgod mystical beast sealed within it, and it serves as the leader. "

"As the area of the palace is too large, you can't see the surrounding walls. However, the walls are made of Sealing Mystic Stone. Not only does it have a terrifying defense, but it also has the effect of sealing enemies.

"As for the ground, it is made of Soul-devouring Demonic Gold. It can devour the flesh and soul energy of living creatures and supply the entire palace.

"The throne in the middle of the main hall was made by the weapons that the master collected from all the enemies he killed. Every one of them is a Lord-Level weapon. If you sit on it, you'll receive great protection. "

"Only this throne can be taken out of this main hall. However, you will have to wait until you have achieved lord-level cultivation and completely gain the throne's approval.

"Now, stand below the center of the dome and accept the inheritance!" After some explanation, the mansion spirit gave the final hint.
