Chapter 317 The Secret of the Pattern
Chen Duo nodded: "Yes, the disciple of the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Gu is indeed extraordinary."
"However, Jiang Mo's strength was even more astonishing; he actually managed to completely defeat his opponent."
The Golden Cicada Envoy respectfully said, "This is precisely the greatness of the Gu God."
"The fusion of the three elements created unprecedented power."
Wei Duoduo laughed and said, "Alright, stop reminiscing here."
"Now that we've defeated the guardian, shouldn't we go and seek the legacy of the progenitor of all poisons?"
Jiang Mo nodded, looking at the palace behind him: "Let's go. The legacy of the progenitor of all poisons is in the underground chamber of this palace."
"However, be careful. The Envoy of Myriad Symbols said that there is a great danger hidden within the inheritance, and we must be vigilant."
The five people walked toward the palace and pushed open the heavy door.
The palace was much more spacious than I had imagined, with a huge hall in the center.
The surrounding walls were covered with Gu script and various strange patterns.
On the floor in the center of the hall, there was a huge circular pattern composed of countless tiny runes, clearly the entrance to some kind of formation.
"It seems the entrance to the secret room is here," Jiang Mo said, pointing to the circular pattern on the ground, "but it requires a specific method to open."
After careful observation, Jin Chanshi said, "This is the Myriad Poison Rune Array, which requires the injection of specific energy to activate."
"The Envoy of Ten Thousand Symbols said that only those possessing the divine power of the Golden Gu can break the seal. It seems you need to use the divine power of the Golden Gu to activate this formation."
Jiang Mo nodded, went to the center of the formation, and sat cross-legged.
The divine power of the Golden Gu within his body flowed slowly, and wisps of golden light surged from his palm, pouring into the rune array on the ground.
As the golden light was injected, the runes on the ground began to light up, gradually forming a complete pattern from the outside in.
It was a huge Gu worm pattern, with a peculiar shape, seemingly some kind of ancient Gu worm, a species never seen before.
"This is..." Jin Chan looked at the pattern on the ground in surprise, "This is the form of the Ancestor of All Gu!"
"The legendary first Gu worm, the origin of all Gu!"
As the last rune lit up, the entire pattern suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and the ground began to tremble!
"Watch out!" Jiang Mo shouted, and everyone immediately retreated, preparing for battle.
The Gu worm patterns on the ground slowly separated, revealing a downward staircase leading to a secret underground chamber.
The staircase was very deep, with no end in sight; one could only vaguely sense the mysterious aura emanating from below.
"We did it!" Feng Baobao exclaimed excitedly, "The entrance to the secret room is open!"
Jiang Mo nodded, his eyes gleaming with golden light: "The real challenge begins now."
"Remember the warning from the Envoy of Ten Thousand Symbols; great danger lurks within the inheritance."
"I'll go down first, you all follow behind and stay alert."
After speaking, Jiang Mo took the lead and walked down the stairs, the Golden Gu Divine Power flowing through his body, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.
Feng Baobao and the others followed closely behind, each activating their respective abilities and preparing for battle.
The staircase was very long and seemed to have no end.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding temperature began to drop, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere filled the air.
Finally, after walking for about ten minutes, a huge stone gate appeared before us.
The stone gate was covered with exquisite Gu script and patterns, with a huge Gu worm pattern in the center, exactly the same as the pattern on the ground.
"This is it," Jiang Mo stopped and carefully examined the stone gate. "The legacy of the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Gu is behind this gate."
The Golden Cicada pointed to the pattern in the center of the stone gate: "This pattern should be the key to opening the stone gate. It also requires the divine power of the Golden Gu to activate."
Jiang Mo nodded, stepped forward, and placed his palm on the Gu worm pattern in the center of the stone gate.
The divine power of the Golden Gu within his body circulated once more, and golden light surged from his palm, flowing into the pattern on the stone gate.
As the golden light poured in, the patterns on the stone gate began to light up.
The runes moved like living things, eventually forming a complete array.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.
"This is...!" Everyone was stunned.
Behind the door was a huge space, much more spacious than I had imagined.
At the center was a huge crystal coffin, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire space.
There appears to be a humanoid creature inside the crystal coffin, but its exact appearance is obscured by the refraction of light.
The space is surrounded by dozens of stone pillars, each engraved with Gu script and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"This is the place where the progenitor of all poisons passed down his legacy..." Jiang Mo murmured to himself, "But who is inside the crystal coffin?"
The five people carefully entered the space and walked towards the crystal coffin in the center.
As they approached, the scene inside the coffin gradually became clearer.
"Oh my god..." Feng Baobao exclaimed, "That's...a person?"
Indeed, a humanoid creature lay inside the crystal coffin, but it was not an ordinary human.
The creature was covered in tiny scales and looked like a combination of a human and some kind of Gu worm.
Most shockingly, the creature still showed signs of life, with its chest rising and falling slightly, as if it were breathing!
"It's still alive!" Chen Duo exclaimed in surprise. "What kind of creature is this?"
After careful observation, the Golden Cicada Envoy's voice trembled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken... this is very likely the legendary Body of Ten Thousand Gu!"
"The Body of Ten Thousand Gu?" Jiang Mo asked in confusion.
The Golden Cicada Envoy nodded: "According to the ancient records of the Golden Cicada clan, the Body of Ten Thousand Gu is the most perfect physical body created by the progenitor of ten thousand Gu, capable of containing the power of all Gu worms."
Legend has it that the progenitor of all Gu was able to create the Gu Dao because he possessed the body of all Gu.
"But unexpectedly... he actually left a body with ten thousand Gu physiques here..."
Just then, the crystal coffin suddenly emitted a blinding light, and a deep, ancient voice echoed through the space:
"Who goes there, daring to trespass into the Land of Ten Thousand Gu Inheritance?"
The sound echoed throughout the space like thunder, carrying an indescribable majesty and power.
Undeterred, Jiang Mo stepped forward, head held high: "I am Jiang Mo, the successor of the Gu God, sent by the Gu God to seek the inheritance of the progenitor of all Gu!"
The voice in the space suddenly softened: "A successor to the Gu God? Interesting... I didn't expect that little guy to have a successor too."
"Since you are the successor of the Gu God, then prove your strength!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the crystal coffin suddenly burst forth with a blinding light, causing the entire space to tremble!
The Myriad Gu Body inside the coffin opened its eyes; they were pure golden eyes, without any distinction between black and white, only pure golden light.
"Ready for battle!" Jiang Mo shouted, the divine power of the Golden Gu flowing through his body, ready for battle.
To everyone's surprise, the Myriad Gu Body did not attack them directly, but slowly sat up from the crystal coffin and walked out.
Upon closer inspection, this body of ten thousand Gu is even more astonishing.
