The group cautiously explored the stone door space. Although the Ice-Winged Blood Fiend had been defeated, the mysterious and gloomy aura within the chamber lingered. Faint, ghostly lights flickered on the walls, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them from the shadows.
Lin Feng walked at the very front, the Divine Artifact Fragment in his hand occasionally emitting a faint glow, seemingly guiding the way. As they continued their exploration, they saw that the walls were covered in strange patterns and inscriptions. Some patterns resembled ancient sacrificial scenes, while others depicted battles between powerful demons and humans. The characters were obscure and difficult to decipher, as if they came from another world.
Nángōng Yǐngyuè carefully observed these inscriptions. She was well-versed in various ancient scripts, yet the ones she had encountered earlier were completely unfamiliar to her. Suddenly, she felt a sense of recognition. Delighted, she turned to the others and said, "These are characters of the Crescent Empire. The Crescent Empire was once one of the top powers on the Spirit Illusion Continent, but for unknown reasons, it suddenly and quietly perished. When my master sent me into the trial secret realm to cultivate, characters from the Crescent Empire appeared three times. Through my master's repeated guidance, I slowly began to learn some of these ancient texts."
