Sky War Soul

Although this dilapidated palace was very large, it was surrounded by a bunch of magnificent palaces, making it seem very inconspicuous.    

    

The front, the back, and the left and right were all covered by the palace. Fortunately, Chu Yun was able to see the dilapidated palace from the top of his head.    

    

"Although this palace looks unremarkable, its location is not bad. The main hall is surrounded from all sides, and there's a group of stars holding the moon in their hands … If this palace isn't important, then how could there be such a place?"    

    

Chu Yun's eyes congealed, after pondering for a moment, he immediately flew down.    

    

Entering the dilapidated palace, one could only see the complex engravings on the walls, countless.    

    

Chu Yun was now also considered a master of mysterious patterns. When he looked up, he felt reassured.    

    

The engravings on the wall were the Spirit Gathering Array, and they were of a very high level, able to speed up the rate of spiritual energy training by hundreds of times.    

    

Although this formation had been broken down, when he used his hands to touch the mysterious patterns, they would still shine with a bright light and spread in all directions.    

    

"What a powerful formation, it must have been personally set up by a Grandmaster Secret Pattern!"    

    

Chu Yun was extremely shocked. Unless a Spirit Tattoo Grandmaster were to personally take action, a mere Spirit Tattoo Grandmaster would not be able to draw such a complex and profound array.    

    

On the walls of the palace, there was actually a Rune Grandmaster who had personally drawn the array formation, which further verified Chu Yun's guess.    

    

This dilapidated ancient hall was definitely extraordinary.    

    

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yun walked along the long corridor of the palace and headed inside.    

    

He carefully examined and tried to sense where the spiritual energy was fluctuating.    

    

Everything in the ancient palace seemed to have been sealed up and covered in a thick layer of dust.    

    

After entering the palace, they came face to face with a throne. The throne was very tall, one needed to raise their head to look at it.    

    

As Chu Yun stood in front of the throne, he couldn't help but sigh.    

    

Just what kind of power did he possess to be able to sit on it?    

    

There were a total of six statues within the hall. They were carved with six men wearing armor, and their eyes shone with a divine light.    

    

These men had different postures, but their gazes were all focused on the throne, as though their king was sitting there.    

    

Chu Yun walked forward and carefully examined the statues, he couldn't help but be shocked.    

    

These statues didn't feel cold to the touch, instead, they felt warm to the touch.    

    

If it wasn't for the feeling of being a hard stone, Chu Yun would have thought that he was actually touching a living person.    

    

"Why is it so warm?"    

    

Chu Yun was suspicious, he continuously touched it with his hands, and even sent some Spirit Qi into it, wanting to find out what exactly was inside.    

    

"Buzz!"    

    

The instant the spiritual energy entered the statue, a bright light shot out from the man's eyes. It pierced through the void and shook the heavens.    

    

However, it only lasted for a split-second, as fast as it came to a stop.    

    

Chu Yun took a step back, disbelief in his eyes.    

    

"Am I wrong?"    

    

Chu Yun felt the second of shock and immediately shook his head.    

    

He hadn't seen wrongly. When his spiritual energy entered the statue, a bright light shone from the eyes of the statue.    

    

No matter how hard Chu Yun tried, he was unable to cause the statue to move again.    

    

"How strange."    

    

Chu Yun once again channeled his Spirit Qi into the other statues, and the strange phenomenon from before disappeared.    

    

After carefully inspecting the sculpture, Chu Yun did not discover anything else. He soared into the air and stepped into the air, moving parallel to the throne.    

    

However, upon reaching the top, he discovered that there was a person seated atop this throne.    

    

This person was tall and sturdy. He wore a cape that covered his face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.    

    

Chu Yun's heart skipped a beat, he could not help but approach it, and lifted up his cape.    

    

Sure enough, a snow-white skeleton could be seen underneath the cloak.    

    

That skeleton had a tall stature. It was obvious that it was a young man in his prime. As it sat on the throne, its aura was extraordinary.    

    

There was a rusty sword stuck in his chest.    

    

The sword pierced through his chest and came out from his back.    

    

The skeleton gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands. It wanted to try and pull out the sword, but it failed in the end.    

    

His head was tilted; apparently, he hadn't given up until the last second before he died.    

    

Seeing this, Chu Yun's heart had some thoughts.    

    

The skeleton on this throne must have been an important figure when he was alive. However, in the middle of battle, a sword pierced through his chest.    

    

In order to maintain his own pride, he sat back on his throne, desperately trying to pull out the longsword. However, due to various reasons, he wasn't able to succeed.    

    

In the end, he was still unable to escape death.    

    

However, he died on the throne.    

    

Even after his death, he still sat there like a skeleton. His bones emitted a white light, like precious jade, and did not rot.    

    

This was his final dignity.    

    

Thinking about it, Chu Yun felt a sense of respect, holding onto the sword with both of his hands, he pulled it out.    

    

"Crack!"    

    

The longsword was easily pulled out, and as it was pulled out, it even gave off a faint glow.    

    

"Senior, I'll help you pull out your sword."    

    

Chu Yun once again covered him with the cape and sat upright, as if he was still the king that ruled the world.    

    

Holding the rusted sword in his hand, Chu Yun injected Spirit Qi, causing the sword to suddenly release light, the rust on the surface layer by layer faded, finally revealing its true form.    

    

This was a sanguine longsword that radiated a boundless, fiery aura. The light it radiated illuminated the entire palace.    

    

The energy aura was very dense and it rushed out in all directions. It was like the howling of the wind, bringing up countless dust and dirt on the ground.    

    

"Good sword!"    

    

Chu Yun's eyes lit up. This sword was unspeakably strong, at least a top grade spirit weapon.    

    

Even though it was slightly rusty after thousands of years of being covered in dust, when the rust faded away, the treasured sword that had blocked the God-Slaying Buddha returned.    

    

"But unfortunately, I don't lack a treasure sword."    

    

Chu Yun was a little disappointed. He already had the water moon sword, that was a warlord's weapon. Even the Holy grade spirit weapon couldn't compare to it.    

    

However, it didn't matter. He would first put away the sword. If there was a chance, he would give it to someone else.    

    

"There's actually a treasure!"    

    

Just then, an excited voice came from outside the hall, followed by a short Taoist.    

    

Chu Yun's eyes congealed, in order to prevent unnecessary complications, he immediately kept the fire red sword into his storage ring.    

    

A Taoist rushed into the palace, his eyes landing on Chu Yun's body, a greedy look flashed past his eyes: "You found the treasure?"    

    

"Are you sure?"    

    

Chu Yun spread out his hands: "There are so many palaces here, it's not necessary to fight with me for a place, is it?"    

    

Chu Yun remembered that this short Taoist was probably a child of some noble family, with Song Hui and the others.    

    

"Cut the crap! Hand over the treasure and I'll spare your life!"    

    

The Taoist was obviously used to being arrogant and despotic, and did not place Chu Yun in his eyes.    

    

He had a fierce expression on his face. When he spoke, he was commanding the others. He even rubbed his fists and wanted to attack.
