Chapter 490

The Soldier Demon God was a war weapon forged by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden with the help of Did Chi You in ancient times. There were eighty-one of them in total. Because they contained star fragments, they possessed earth-shattering power.

In ancient times, Did Chi You held a divine sword and had the Soldier Demon God as an aid, once roaming the world.

But when he began to turn his butcher knife toward the human race and slaughter all living beings, the Soldier Demon God became his greatest accomplice. Because of this, in the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, destroyed eighty Soldier Demon Gods one after another, and the last one remaining was also sealed in Many Loulan.

Not until today did this Soldier Demon God appear before outsiders again.

Although Did Chi You had been here before, for the Soldier Demon God, Did Chi You could not be considered an outsider.

As for the people of Many Loulan?

The people of Many Loulan through the ages had always been secretive about the sealed objects and had never thought of trespassing here.

"What a magnificent creation of exquisite craftsmanship!"

Looking at the Soldier Demon God at close range, the Six-Fingered Black Knight could not help but sigh.

Although the Mohist mechanism emphasized walking wood and stone and had always opposed the manufacture of mechanism beasts used for war, the Soldier Demon God before them had an extraordinary origin; it was forged by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden with the help of Did Chi You in ancient times.

It could be said that it came from the hands of true immortals and deities.

Even just seeing its appearance without careful study, the Six-Fingered Black Knight was amazed. It was worthy of being a mechanism beast from the hands of immortals and deities. A mechanism beast of this size, and one that was naturally formed, would be difficult to manufacture in the current age, let alone in the ancient era more than two thousand years ago. Especially, in legend, eighty-one were forged at once.

After carefully examining the Soldier Demon God, the Six-Fingered Black Knight said in a strange tone, "Fortunately, Gongshu Chou did not come here this time, otherwise, he would definitely feel ashamed!"

Su Xuan understood the meaning of the Six-Fingered Black Knight's words but did not say anything.

As the two schools most skilled in mechanism arts in the current age, although both were now serving the Qin State and had to cooperate because of the Qin Emperor's order, both schools were unconvinced by the other.

The Mohist School thought the Gongshu School's mechanisms were nothing special.

The Gongshu School thought the Mohist School's mechanisms were all outdated things; playing with wooden mechanisms in this era was really a bit out of fashion.

At this moment, upon seeing the ancient war weapon, the Soldier Demon God, the Six-Fingered Black Knight immediately mocked Gongshu Chou.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight and Jing Ke, as members of the Mohist School, stayed here and continued to observe the Soldier Demon God.

Su Xuan took the Yin-Yang School and Shushan people to other places to observe.

This was where the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden sealed the Did Chi You Sword and the Soldier Demon God. Like the Yuyuan, this place also came from the hands of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

Su Xuan wanted to know if the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden had left anything else behind besides the Did Chi You Sword and the Soldier Demon God.

The reason he had this thought was because he had seen some other things in the Yuyuan that day.

The Xun tree, as well as the coffin made of Xuan Jian wood.

Perhaps for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden at that time, these were common things, but that was the ancient era with abundant resources. In the current age, these things were scarce and very precious.

After walking in the underground palace for a while, Su Xuan and the others discovered another secret room.

The door of the secret room was made of bronze, and there were many mechanisms inside. Unfortunately, both the bronze door and the many mechanisms had been destroyed.

Finally, everyone arrived before a platform surrounded by broken chains.

"This should be the place where that demonic sword was sealed!"

After Yu Jun arrived here and observed the environment, he said softly.

Su Xuan nodded and continued to look at the surrounding environment with some disappointment.

Unfortunately, it was destined that there was nothing.

Although it was also a seal, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden did not seem to have left anything else here; she just sealed Did Chi You's weapons here.

Perhaps for her, these weapons were just mundane things.

And they were not worth wrapping up with very precious materials.

Did Chi You was different; he was once the king she chose. Even after he died, she used Xuan Jian wood to make him a coffin and even moved two divine trees, the Fusang divine tree and the Xun tree.

After finishing the tour of this secret room, Su Xuan was still unwilling to give up and continued to tour this underground palace, but there were no more discoveries.

He could only sigh in his heart that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's attitude toward weapons and people was completely different.

Sure enough, this Many Loulan was a group of stepchildren.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden had always treated them as tools and had never cared about them.

As for why?

Of course, it was because Xiao Li, the incarnation of the Goddess's Tear, did not even say a word to the Many Loulan people before leaving, and the Pixiu's departure took away the dragon soul that was crucial to the Many Loulan people, causing Many Loulan's water source to be cut off.

It seemed that the dragon god had bestowed the dragon soul upon Many Loulan in the past, allowing Many Loulan to continue in the desert, but in reality, the purpose of bestowing the dragon soul upon them was essentially to prevent Did Chi You from causing trouble.

The Many Loulan clan guarded the seal for generations. In order to make them perform their duties as tools well, it was obviously impossible to let them perish so easily.

Returning to the Soldier Demon God.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight had already observed the appearance of the Soldier Demon God at close range and had begun to enter it to observe its internal structure.

Su Xuan glanced at Jing Ke, who was guarding outside, and after knowing where the Six-Fingered Black Knight was, he immediately jumped onto the Soldier Demon God. Behind the head of the Soldier Demon God, there was an entrance to enter it.

After Su Xuan entered, he discovered that it was more spacious inside than he had imagined.
