Chapter 1118: Chapter 1116: The Underground Palace!

At this moment, what appeared before Ren Feifan was a colossal palace.

The golden-yellow glazed tiles shimmered with dazzling brilliance. Around the great hall, ancient trees reached for the heavens, green trees provided shade, and the red walls and yellow tiles shone with splendor.

What truly took one’s breath away was the presence of a copper statue overlooking the world before the palace gates! Its imposing stature was lifelike!

The Bronze Man surveyed all beings below with a gaze that imposed a sense of awe!

This thing is somewhat peculiar.

Ren Feifan patted his backside and stood up, having never considered that there would be such a magnificent palace beneath the Inner Island of Purgatory.

A world within a world!

Based on the terracotta warriors above, combined with the underground palace, Ren Feifan felt increasingly convinced of a connection between the Inner Island of Purgatory and that emperor who unified the six states, Emperor Qin Shi Huang!

And this enormous copper statue!

Ren Feifan remembered something from when he was attending high school in Capital City; he had seen a biography of Emperor Qin Shi Huang!

It said that after unifying the six states, Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered the confiscation of all weapons throughout the empire, to be gathered in the capital Xianyang for destruction, from which were cast bells, chimes, and twelve large Bronze Men, each weighing a thousand stones, to be placed within the royal court.

In the Qin dynasty, one stone was approximately equivalent to thirty-seven and a half kilograms today; by that measure, these twelve Bronze Men would weigh a total of four hundred fifty thousand kilograms.

And Ren Feifan clearly remembered that these twelve Bronze Men had disappeared from the archaeological world!

They had not appeared among the terracotta warriors of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in Xi’an!

And the huge Bronze Man that now stood before his eyes was very likely one of those twelve!

This was an icon of national significance in those days!

Back then, Emperor Qin Shi Huang dreamt of great changes in the heavenly bodies, and woke in terror, fearing for the safety of his vast empire.

Fortunately, an Immortal appeared in his dream and provided guidance, saying that crafting twelve golden figures was necessary to ensure his rule over the world.

Upon awakening, Emperor Qin Shi Huang immediately ordered the collection of weapons from across the nation to be gathered in Xianyang, and from them, the twelve Bronze Men were cast.

Of course, there was also a legend within martial circles that the material for these Bronze Men was actually from the Nine Tripods cast by the great Yu of ancient times!

The Nine Tripods were treasures of that era, possessing boundless magical power!

Ren Feifan instinctively reached out, intending to touch the Bronze Man to see if there was any trace of a Formation’s fluctuations, but before his hand could make contact, a terrifying voice sounded!

"Kid, if you want to die, go ahead and touch it!"

The Demon King actually spoke again! And he had put aside all his pride to address Ren Feifan himself!

"Don’t overthink it. If something happens to you, I’ll lose that one-fifth of the Soul Dropping Stone as well. This is a warning from me! Take it or leave it; it’s up to you!"

Ren Feifan withdrew his hand because from the voice of the Demon King, it seemed even the Demon King himself had felt fear at that instant.

This Bronze Man must be dangerous!

Afterward, his gaze fell upon the red gate’s horizontal inscribed board!

Written on it were five large characters: Emperor Qin’s Bronze Hall!

"Is this truly Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s underground palace? But that’s not right. Emperor Qin Shi Huang had twelve Bronze Men, whereas only one statue is present. Paired with the inscription above, this indicates that this is just one of the many palaces where Emperor Qin Shi Huang placed the Bronze Men!"

Could it be that Huaxia had twelve such palaces?

With such massive Bronze Men, how did Emperor Qin Shi Huang manage to accomplish that back then?

Could it be that he harnessed the power of cultivators!

That was the first answer to come to Ren Feifan’s mind.

If he were to spread the news of this Emperor Qin’s Bronze Hall, it would undoubtedly cause an earth-shattering explosion in both the archaeological and historical circles of Huaxia!

Ren Feifan suppressed the shock in his heart and did not immediately push open the giant doors before him, but rather returned to the Demon Queen’s side, formed a hand seal, and shot a stream of Nine Yang True Qi into her!

The Demon Queen hummed softly and gradually opened her eyes.

Ren Feifan didn’t notice that a golden light was actually spilling out of the wound on the Demon Queen’s forehead!

The light flashed and went straight toward the huge Bronze Man statue!

It was as if some kind of seal had been completely lifted.

"Demon Queen, you’re finally awake. If you hadn’t woken up, even I would have been at a loss,"

Ren Feifan was just about to stand up, fearing that the Spirit Clan’s holy maiden would again accuse him of indirectly taking liberties with her.

Suddenly, a pair of soft hands grasped his wrist.

"You..."

The moment Ren Feifan turned around, he found that the Demon Queen’s eyes were actually moist!

And her gaze was complex and filled with deep emotion!

Why is she crying?

I haven’t done anything!

No one knew that at this moment the Demon Queen’s sealed memories suddenly unlocked, and the past overwhelmed her like a tide, swirling in her mind! It was as if what was originally a small stream had now merged into a massive Yangtze River!

She remembered the first time Ren Feifan saved her, she was in the midst of a sea of fire, with countless people holding torches, shouting, ready to burn her to death, she had already resigned herself to death, believing that was her life’s end.

Until someone suddenly appeared, carrying her through the sea of fire, disheveled and desperate, but from that moment on, her world contained only the shadow of this man.

She had no name, and it so happened that her gaze fell on a Demon Queen flower she took a fancy to, so the man named her Demon Queen.

It was her first name, and also her favorite.

After that, the man taught her how to survive, how to fight, how to kill, and even later, how to cultivate...

The memory abruptly ended, her recollections had been sealed by a venerable member of the Spirit Clan, and she had become the woman to inherit the Spirit Clan’s mission.

The Holy Maiden.

Beneath one person, above ten thousand.

But even as the holy maiden of thousands of Spirit Clan members, it couldn’t compare to that man calling her "Demon Queen."

"Master..."

The Demon Queen hugged Ren Feifan, who was still in a daze.

In that moment, Ren Feifan finally realized, truly realized, that the Demon Queen had really come back.

"Demon Queen, your memory..."

"Master, I’ve recovered everything. Thank you for saving me all this while. Demon Queen has no way to repay you."

...

They talked for a long time until they both stood up. Ren Feifan felt their fall was quite worthwhile, at least the Demon Queen had returned to her former self.

Suddenly, the Demon Queen formed a hand seal, and a crystal-clear pearl condensed in her palm.

"It’s actually the Spirit Communicating Orb! Kid, you’ve hit the jackpot!" A surprised voice came suddenly from the mysterious space, but Ren Feifan didn’t pay attention to it. His eyes darkened as he said to the Demon Queen, "Demon Queen, what do you mean by this?"

The Demon Queen smiled, placing the pearl in Ren Feifan’s palm: "Master, this is the sacred relic of our Spirit Clan called the Spirit Communicating Orb. The Egyptian Pharaoh came all this way to this place to hunt our Spirit Clan for this relic! And the people from the Hidden Gate’s Ye family that day were also coveting the Spirit Communicating Orb in my possession!"

"Is the Spirit Communicating Orb that amazing?"

"Master, you may not know, my Spirit Clan was once the largest force in Huaxia thousands of years ago, and this force was entirely built upon the Spirit Communicating Orb!

Back then, there was even a saying in the cultivation world, ’Whoever possesses the Spirit Communicating Orb, possesses the world!’"
