Chapter 786: Entering where the Eternal Heroes Slumber (II)

Golden light flickered as each insignia released six symbols upon being activated by the elders. A total of eighteen symbols appeared from the three insignia, revolving around everyone they shone with blinding light. Afterwards, a huge, golden swirl enveloped all six of them. The mist in the surroundings churned violently and in the next moment, they vanished.

The current Long Haochen was no longer the same as the past. He could sense an extremely large magic array within the Knights' Sacred Mountain. It was possible to say that the entire mountain was created because of the magic array. The only way to understand the secrets here was to be familiar with the magic array, or have someone serve as a guide.

The golden light subsided and they had appeared in another place. It was also a place that gave Long Haochen a sense of déjà vu.

They were inside of a cavern, and in its walls, blocks of precious stones were inlaid. An insipid golden light illuminated the entire cavern.

Inside the cavern, the light element was not strong. It could not be compared to the Knights' Sacred Mountain at all. It was just a little stronger than outside at most.

This cavern was enormous. The roof was sixty meters high, the cave had an irregular circular shape as far as the eye could see, and its diameter was at least three hundred meters long, just like a sort of enormous public square.

There were quadrilateral shapes on the ground. These shapes were closely linked with each other, forming a huge rings which grew closer towards the centre. Each shape was covered with dim, ancient elvish language.

Seeing this, Long Haochen finally remembered where this place was. Wasn't this the cavern where he had been teleported away through an array, which allowed him to find House? He had never thought he would come back here again.

Yang Haohan nodded at the three elders, “Thank you for leading the way. Please return to your posts.”

The elders performed a salute towards Yang Haohan.

Yang Haohan arrived before Long Haochen and said, “Haochen, the sealed cavern can only let in a single person at a time. Cai'er and I will remain here waiting for you. These seniors possess extremely rich experiences and they have also slumbered there for several millennia, so they might be rather strange. You must be careful with what you do. Just in case the situation develops beyond your control, use spiritual energy to activate the insignia in your hand. You will be automatically transported back here.”

As he said that, he passed the insignia sculpted from golden crystal to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen accepted the insignia and nodded at Yang Haohan. Afterwards, he made his way to the centre of the cavern. There was a ring around nine meters wide. The symbol in the centre was the largest.

However, as soon as he began making his way over, he was stopped by the three elders who had led them here. One of the elders said to Yang Haohan rather hesitantly, “Temple head Yang, that does seem to abide by the rules. Only you can enter the sealed cavern. You're…”

Yang Haohan smiled, “I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Long Haochen, a new divine knight of our Knight Temple. He obtained the recognition of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and was bestowed the title of Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership by the temple. He's also the leader of our six divine knights. In the future, the sacred mountain insignia will be in his possession.”

The three elders became shocked at the same time. They immediately began to look at Long Haochen differently. They were all old members of the Knight Temple, so of course they knew what the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation meant.

Long Haochen knew the three elders were still in some disbelief. With a smile, a gentle spiritual energy emerged from his body and enveloped the three elders.

The pure light element made the three elders all shudder. In the next moment, an indescribably nice feeling filled every inch of their body. Even their missing limbs experienced the same sensation, albeit missing. Their spiritual energy all surged out and in just a few seconds, their spiritual energy had grown by an amount that was even more than what they would achieve with several months of cultivation.

Now, the elders no longer had any doubts. Although they were still filled with shock, they moved out of the way with a flash and saluted Long Haochen politely.

Long Haochen arrived in the centre of the huge symbol with the sacred mountain insignia. He closed his eyes slowly as he quietly sensed everything in the surroundings.

In the moment he had closed his eyes, his mental force immediately expanded. Whether it was Yang Haohan, Cai'er or the three elders, they all felt that their consciousness blurred out momentarily.

This time, even Yang Haohan could not help but show shock. What a powerful mental force!

Even if it was Demon God Emperor, it was impossible for him to understand the interior of the sacred mountains within the great array of the Knights' Sacred Mountain. The great array contained extremely powerful light element as well as the secrets of countless other arrays. Many of these secrets originated from the ancient elves. Even the Knight Temple that was directly in control of the Knights' Sacred Mountain did not completely understand the secrets of the great array.

However, Long Haochen's mental force met no obstruction at all as he stood there. In just a short while, he had enveloped the entire mountain.

As the person in possession of the Light God physique and Light God Domain, how could any light element array reject him? It was just like a girl who had opened her heart up completely, allowing him to study it as he wished.

Very soon, Long Haochen felt like he knew everything he wanted to know. After studying it, Long Haochen discovered that the Knights' Sacred Mountain itself was composed of nine light element arrays, which were broken up into a central array and eight outer arrays. The nine arrays then formed a completely new array. The arrays had been cast down with such complexity that he had never seen anything like this before. And, the array had an extremely powerful restricting ability. Even if powerhouses of the ninth step intruded this place, they would probably suffer greatly at the hands of the array.

There were many light element magical beasts that lived on the Knights' Sacred Mountain. They were also the source of mounts for young knights of the temple. However, the true secrets of the mountain lay in its interior. The location where he currently stood was the fundamental point of the central formation among the nine formations. Controlling the great array had to be done here, while the sacred mountain insignia in his hand was the key to unlocking the array's full power, or to open up the array.

Raising the insignia over his head, Long Haochen slowly poured spiritual energy into it. As soon as pure, light element spiritual energy had entered the insignia, it immediately shone brightly with golden light.

The insignia seemed to produce a faint hum and afterwards, the nine arrays in the mountain actually all responded.

A golden ripple expanded below Long Haochen, lighting up the ancient elvish symbols. In just a few seconds, all of the ancient elvish symbols in the centre of the mountain had lit up.

The symbols all seemed to be revived. As golden light began to flow, some of the rings of golden symbols rotated clockwise, while others rotated anti-clockwise. Golden symbols began to appear in the air as well, around the sacred mountain insignia in Long Haochen's hand.

Yang Haohan had told Long Haochen before they arrived here that once he had activated the sacred mountain insignia, he would be able to sense the sealed cavern.

Now, Long Haochen could vividly sense that the sacred mountain insignia had offered him several different auras. One was to activate defences, one was to activate attacks and the last one was the way to the sealed cavern.

With a thought, the insignia activated and a powerful beam of light suddenly erupted from below Long Haochen, connecting with the ceiling. Long Haochen was completely enveloped by the beam of light. The light element was so dense that it was almost tangible. Even Cai'er who possessed powers of purification felt a sense of sluggishness that almost immobilised her.

Not only did activating the array of the Knights' Sacred Mountain require the sacred mountain insignia, it also required sufficiently strong abilities of the light element. If it was any other element, they would all fail. If a darkness element powerhouse had managed to steal the sacred mountain insignia and had made it in here, then there would only be two outcomes. The first one would be if they were powerful enough, such that they could break out of the array and leave. The second outcome was much more likely, which was being torn apart by the light element.

The beam of light lasted for half a minute before slowly vanishing. When the beam of light subsided, Long Haochen had vanished.

Surrounded by dense light element, he traveled a very short distance through space. Through the investigations Long Haochen had performed earlier, he already knew the exact location of the sealed cavern. However, the location had been completely suppressed by the array of the Knights' Sacred Mountain. Even with his current level of cultivation, he had no confidence in breaking into there without the sacred mountain insignia.

This was below the Knights' Sacred Mountain.

The golden light in the surroundings gradually dispersed. The first thing that Long Haochen felt was a chill. He could feel the coldness even with his cultivation, which demonstrated just how powerful the coldness was. It was definitely not just a matter of temperature.

Everything in the surroundings cleared up. Appearing before Long Haochen was a corridor paved with grey rock. The surroundings were pitch-black, but Long Haochen personally shone with a faint golden light, enough to illuminate several meters away.

The air in the corridor was extremely foul, while the coldness surged over from up ahead.

Long Haochen raised a hand and a gentle, white flame immediately appeared. With a gentle flick of his finger, a white flame flew ahead. It was not particularly large, but wherever it went, it burned away the foulness in the air. It was not important whether the air was breathable or not. He just disliked this foulness. At the same time, he could see the situation up ahead clearly under the illumination of the white flame.

The corridor slowly extended downwards, so the white flame directly landed on the wall up ahead. It was not extinguished and instead burned on the wall like a lantern. However, it did not burn the grey rock bricks.

Under the light from the flames, Long Haochen made his way forward. The sacred mountain insignia in his hand shone with a faint golden light, which serve as a source of light to a certain degree.
