Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City -
Chapter 345 - 344: Naga
Chapter 345: Chapter 344: Naga
Atlantis, the legendary kingdom.
The legend first appeared over three hundred years before the common era, suggesting that this ancient city existed even before ten thousand years BC.
One could say it precedes even the earliest stages of human civilization history.
However, for thousands of years, no one has ever discovered this city, only scattered legends and some dubious human traces under the sea.
But now, what lies before Lin Hao, if it still can’t confirm those legends, then Lin Hao would definitely admit he is blind.
It is said that Atlantis was an ideal state, highly civilized, but eventually it fell into decadence and corruption, suffered divine punishment, and was struck down into the sea by the gods, disappearing from history.
But, Lin Hao knows.
In this world, divine punishments might exist, but gods, surely do not!
They are nothing more than strong beings from the Upper Realm, or those who have cultivated to the Sky-breaking Realm, capable of breaking through the void. What gods are there?
Thus, to say Atlantis was struck down into the sea by gods, it’s better to say it was destroyed by powerful beings.
Could it be, those ancient giant beast skeletons on the sea surface were meant to guard this lost city? And then there’s the Thunder Cloud Sea Domain, and the existence of Resurrection Island...
In just a moment, countless thoughts crossed Lin Hao’s mind.
The tales of Atlantis had circulated in human history since before the common era, while topics on Cultivation, the Upper Realm, and the Mortal World came about over two thousand years later.
Clearly, Cultivation and various realms have left their traces on Earth, just that Earth’s people before were unaware.
Previously, Lin Hao wondered why Resurrection Island would suddenly appear on Earth, now seeing Atlantis beneath this sea, Lin Hao suddenly understood.
Atlantis, an ancient civilization, and a highly prosperous one at that.
It was clearly suppressed under the sea by a mighty force.
And the people in the ruins...
Could they not be the descendants of ancient Atlanteans, or even, Atlanteans who have lived here for thousands of years?
"A few days ago, was it you who moved me from the edge of the Skeleton Islands to the edge of Death Island? The Crystal Ball, was it you who took it?" Lin Hao stood at the entrance of the ruins, not walking inside.
"The azure crystal, it belongs to us, to Atlantis; I merely took it back," a weary aged figure emerged from the deep ruins, seemingly gasping for breath.
Indeed, hearing this answer, Lin Hao already had some sort of enlightenment, beginning to retrace the entire matter from start to finish.
But, there are too many threads, and if he were to clarify everything, that’s certainly a tale from a long, long time ago.
Lin Hao doesn’t like listening to stories.
Besides, with so much effort exerted by the person in the ruins who didn’t kill Lin Hao last time, Lin Hao knew that these people definitely wanted to use him.
However, in this world, who isn’t being used, and who isn’t using others?
As long as the price is right, being used is not an issue.
What they want, what they want me to do, how to do it, and how much benefit I can get, that’s what Lin Hao cares about.
In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Lin Hao’s mind, then he asked the ruins, "What do you want to do?"
"Sharp young man, well asked. If possible, come in, let’s make a deal," the aged voice seemed to ease a bit, then continued: "You aren’t too scared to come in, are you?"
Lin Hao did not answer.
His gaze swept over the ruins of the ancient underwater city before he took a step forward, answering with his actions.
Walking through this lost ancient city at the bottom of the sea, even though most of it was buried under the silt of the ocean leaving nothing but fragments of ruins, Lin Hao could still feel the grandeur and greatness of the city as it once was.
That feeling, perhaps, was like a mortal suddenly appearing in the legendary Heavenly Court and witnessing the wondrous architecture there, shockingly beautiful.
"Over here."
The voice came from the direction of the city center. Lin Hao didn’t hesitate; he turned a street corner and a huge square appeared in front of him.
In the square, which had been overgrown with coral reefs, lights of various colors illuminated the square, making it beautifully radiant.
Unknown fish swam by in front of him, seemingly unafraid of humans.
"Come over here; I am old now and cannot leave this place."
The voice originated from the center of the square, from an obelisk that was half-exposed.
The entire seabed, that heart-pounding ancient aura, originated from inside the obelisk.
At the point where the obelisk touched the silt, Lin Hao discovered a deep blue crystal ball.
"Tell me, I assume you didn’t have the strength to bring me here at that time, only rescuing me from the Fish Demon. Now that I am here, say any request you have. We are strangers, but, I consider you once as well having saved my life."
"As a person from Huaxia, I believe in reciprocating the kindness of saving a life."
Approaching the obelisk, Lin Hao then realized that on the obelisk, a creature covered in seaweed, chained to the stone tower and unable to move, emitted a feeble breath, already nearing the end of its life.
"Huaxia?"
That creature looked like a human, but Lin Hao was certain it was not a human.
He muttered to himself as if searching through his memory, and after a long time, he sighed, "I don’t remember, are there still people from Huaxia on Earth? I don’t remember, in this place without light from heaven, I even do not know what year it is today."
"But, you are right. I indeed have reached the end of my life. For countless years, I preserved my strength, waiting for someone who could resurrect my race. The day I saved you, I used up my last bit of strength. I’m dying."
The seaweed on the obelisk shifted slightly, and Lin Hao saw a pair of dark, profound eyes through the gaps of the seaweed and water, seemingly looking through everything, directly aiming at Lin Hao’s eyes.
In an instant, Lin Hao felt the world spinning as if those deep black eyes were a massive black hole trying to suck him in.
So powerful!
Lin Hao was panic-stricken and quickly circulated the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique to stabilize his spirit.
Unexpectedly, a sentence from the being in the seaweed made Lin Hao’s face change drastically: "Eh... Ancient... Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique... no wonder... no wonder..."
The entity tied within the seaweed actually knew about the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique!
In that moment, those eyes returned to normal, even dimming down.
"Our race’s story is long; over countless years, we have lost our original appearance. The Fish Demons are actually a part of us, just that they betrayed us."
"Young man from mankind, if you are willing to swear in the name of Heavenly God, to help us settle internal strife, to allow our race to leave this place and return to land to reproduce, I am willing to lend you a hand and awaken three thousand of my kin to aid you in battle!"
Upon finishing these words, the seaweed on the obelisk suddenly exploded, shooting into the ruins like countless stars.
Immediately, three thousand crystals appeared within the ruins.
Inside the crystals, three thousand green-bodied, sensually curved beings with fish heads, human hands, and serpentine bodies slept.
"Three thousand of my Nagas, if you agree to my request, they will be the strongest warriors, and, they will obey you, becoming your slaves until they die!"
The voice atop the obelisk aged considerably.
Lin Hao turned back, only then clearly seeing the true face of the life form, and his face filled with astonishment again.
