Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World-Chapter 456 - 424: Celestial Demon Crystal (Double-Length - )

Why are all these Celestial Demon Crystals black?

Si Boyun, who could forge an ascension record as his own magical artifact, naturally is a person well-read in literature.

Especially during the century of seclusion in the Demon Realm, he has read countless ancient and contemporary collections.

No need to elaborate on his level of insight.

According to his knowledge.

The colors of Celestial Demon Crystals mostly range among white, yellow, and green.

Occasionally, some violet and red ones appear.

In the Damo Realm, the most special recorded Celestial Demon Crystal.

Was supposedly a Five-Colored Celestial Demon Crystal released by a Tier Four Demon Beast over fourteen hundred years ago.

So to speak.

Among the ancient books across the ages, Si Boyun has never heard of a black Celestial Demon Crystal.

Yet he can confirm unequivocally.

The item in the lamp is definitely genuine!

This situation defies known rules, and if it were elsewhere, Si Boyun would be very willing to explore this further.

Then he suddenly thought of something.

Raised his head and looked forward.

The passage he was in was a standard straight line, allowing him to clearly see some of the circumstances ahead with his eyesight.

Within his line of sight, the passage contained nearly a hundred bronze lamps!

If each of these bronze lamps contained a Celestial Demon Crystal...

Hiss...

Thinking of this.

Si Boyun immediately activated his body technique and arrived at the next bronze lamp.

Casting a spell, dust scattered away...

Inside was still a Celestial Demon Crystal.

The third place, still a Celestial Demon Crystal.

The fourth place....

The fifth place....

.....

The eighteenth place.

Looking at the black Celestial Demon Crystal quietly lying inside, Si Boyun's heart trembled slightly.

This cultivator, famed as being in the top echelon in the Damo Realm, felt fear for the first time since forming his Nascent Soul.

A hundred or even more lamps with Celestial Demon Crystals signifies the same number of Tier Four Demon Beasts that had fallen at some point!

Moreover, to use such revered items like those in the Demon Realm as lamp fuel, that power...

How strong must it be?

Though the Ancient Times are more than twenty or thirty thousand years ago, a distant and vast past.

Yet due to the presence of extraordinary powers, the Damo Realm civilization had a much higher risk tolerance than ordinary worlds.

The span of the Damo Realm's civilization history is very long, but information above a certain level can still be passed down intact.

Such as the power dynamics of the Ancient Times in the Damo Realm.

According to Si Boyun's knowledge.

During the Damo Realm's most glorious era three thousand years ago, there were three major powers in the central domain.

They occupied over 80% of the central domain's area, didn't call themselves kings, but acted as a dynasty.

At that time, only the Celestial Moon Mountain Range and Ancestral Holy Mountain existed among the four great deadlands; the Star Sea and Endless Sandy Forest had yet to form.

And though the Celestial Moon Mountain Range was called a deadland, it was essentially a vast mountainous region without the complex interference conditions we see today.

Thus, frequent interactions between the barbarians and the central domain occurred actually; the real deadland at the time was only the Burial Spirit Plateau.

Moreover.

Though the Demon Realm had not collided with the Damo Realm back then,

Great powers once built teleportation arrays across realms and hunted demon beasts from beyond.

This grand and brilliant era lasted until about two thousand years ago.

Following a certain turning point.

The entire Damo Realm suddenly began to decline from its peak, with a rapid reduction in spiritual energy concentration.

Unexpected incidents unraveled within the major powers, leading them to disband one after another.

Ancestors fell, and the cultivation ceiling lowered increasingly.

Then there was another turning point.

Star Sea and Endless Sandy Forest mysteriously appeared, forming deadlands of their own.

Afterward, came the collision between the Demon Realm and the Damo Realm, marking the greatest upheaval in history.

Divinity Transformation realm cultivators fell or withdrew from the world.

Nascent Soul realm gradually became the pyramid's pinnacle, enduring to this day.

Yet even during the most flourishing cultivation civilization of 30,000 years ago, Nascent Soul realm wasn't so trivial as to guard entrances.

At least, randomly slaughtering hundreds of Tier Four Demon Beasts and using their Celestial Demon Crystals as passage fuel was something even the top three powers wouldn't casually do.

Unless this was...

Some strategic core area!

Like an ancestral court of a power, or a grand hall receiving tributes during its peak!

With this in mind.

Si Boyun's expression started fluctuating between shadow and light again.

If reality indeed aligned with his thoughts, then the relics certainly contain a wealth of treasures waiting to be discovered—how can only a Third-Layer Nascent Soul Stage at Old Monster Duan's level emerge from an ancient top-tier ancestral court?

Ridiculous!

Therefore, Si Boyun dares to assert, there are certainly treasures within the relics that haven't been retrieved.

Either undiscovered, or undeveloped due to seals, but they undeniably exist!

Yet on the other hand.

A strategic-level important area, even a fool could guess, usually houses numerous anti-theft mechanisms.

Certainly.

Now, countless years have softly passed, likely rendering many arrays or mechanisms ineffective.

But judging from the initial reaction at the cave entrance, some arrays are clearly still functioning.

Core mechanisms from the Ancient Times, ah....

If trapped in them, not even a hundred Si Boyun could escape being crushed.

But despite his concerns, the current situation leaves Si Boyun no choice whatsoever.

Thus, he can only sigh.

Casually collecting an empty shell of a Celestial Demon Crystal into his spatial bag, he resumes walking forward.

Tap, tap, tap——

The sound of his boots rubbing against the ground seemed magnified several times at this moment, echoing clearly in the passage.

Thus, walking for about fifteen minutes.

Finally, Si Boyun's sight met with another open area ahead.
