Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Capítulo 1327: Chapter 14: The Sunken Ship

“Let’s leave this place…” Luo Yan whispered, cautiously departing, not daring to make the slightest sound.

The Ghost Ship drifted to another location, finally leaving the Lake Mist Hills. Both Luo Yan and Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

The Ancient Corpses were too terrifying, possessing chilling, astonishing, and unbelievable power, even Emperor Weapons couldn’t harm them. Who knows what level their strength truly is?

Lin Feng asked, “You previously mentioned that it’s the resting place of the deceased, what does that mean? Do you perhaps have some understanding of the origins of these Ancient Corpses?”

Luo Yan said, “These Ancient Corpses are very mysterious. Just look at their attire, it’s from before the Ancient Era, indicating their origin from even earlier times. But I’m not clear about their exact background. I only know their terror from an encounter over three hundred years ago when I had just become a Ghost Cultivator, drifting around Mist Magnetic Lake like a wandering Ghost Soul. I inadvertently witnessed a Lord of Mist Magnetic Lake passing through this area.”

“That Lord merely roared once, yet it awoke the slumbering Ancient Corpses in the valley. It disturbed their rest, and that Lord was instantly killed with a single move from one of the Ancient Corpses. From then on, I realized the Burial Valley harbors many secrets within those Ancient Corpses and they’re entities that absolutely shouldn’t be provoked.”

Lin Feng asked, “Have you ever tried to uncover the secrets of the Ancient Corpses?”

Luo Yan replied, “I once did explore. I even found an Ancient Stele with ten blood-red characters stating ‘Resting Place of the Deceased, Do Not Disturb’. But oddly, that Ancient Stele later vanished without a trace.”

Lin Feng’s heart stirred. He said, “Could it be taken by someone?”

Luo Yan shook his head and said, “I think it’s impossible. These Ancient Corpses are too terrifying; no one can enter the Burial Valley, let alone take anything from within. These Ancient Corpses are so bizarre that I dare not continue to explore their secrets, lest I perish here.”

Lin Feng nodded. If he were in the same position, he would certainly make the same decision as Luo Yan, choosing not to delve into the secrets of the Ancient Corpses.

The Ancient Corpses are too horrifying, and the secrets they conceal are evidently beyond the reach of ordinary people.

To delve into the secrets of the Ancient Corpses, one must be prepared to be annihilated by them.

Lin Feng said, “Where is the sunken ship? Take me to see it; maybe I can help you find a dragon bone.”

“I heard you obtained the legacy of the Heavenly Master Dao? Maybe you can really pull it off.” Luo Yan’s eyes lit up slightly.

The Ghost Ship headed deeper. As they passed over an Abyss, Lin Feng felt a terrifying aura emanating from it, and then he saw a pair of cold eyes fixed on the Ghost Ship.

“Is it that Giant Snake?” Lin Feng was alarmed.

He recalled that in the past, an Ancient Giant Snake lived here, surviving countless millennia, originally a Black Water Xuan Snake transformed into its current form.

But having lived for so long, its physical body had long since surpassed the constraints of a Black Water Xuan Snake, growing increasingly gigantic.

Luo Yan said, “Don’t worry about this big fellow; I’m quite familiar with it.”

The Ghost Ship sailed above the Abyss, and indeed, the Giant Snake did not attack the Ghost Ship.

Luo Yan said, “This Giant Snake is guarding something in the Abyss—it’s its mission. It possesses a life so long it’s almost unimaginable. Its existence is to guard what lies in the Abyss, never able to leave.”

Lin Feng said, “Is it not similar to those creatures cursed?”

He thought of the Firecrow.

Luo Yan replied, “Perhaps, it can indeed be understood that way! This world is filled with unknown secrets, many of which are shocking and beyond our exploration.”

Lin Feng, somewhat curious, asked, “Since you have a good relationship with the Giant Snake, have you ever asked what it’s guarding?”

Luo Yan said, “I’ve asked before, but the Giant Snake didn’t tell me!”

The Ghost Ship continued toward the depths, and suddenly a massive vortex appeared in front of them.

This was an underwater vortex, spanning about thirty or forty miles. Anything swallowed by the vortex would be instantly torn apart.

“I was previously swallowed by the vortex, and the ship’s body was destroyed, my Divine Soul shattered. I originally thought I was doomed, yet unexpectedly, I survived by sheer luck, and even discovered the sunken ship’s secret. Sit tight, I’m entering the vortex now.” Luo Yan said.

“Mm…” Lin Feng nodded.

The Ghost Ship entered the vortex, and a terrifying force instantly surged to engulf and destroy it.

However, Luo Yan, with incredible skill, maneuvered the Ghost Ship along a special trajectory within the current.

The route taken by the Ghost Ship happened to neutralize the vortex’s oppressive force.

Eventually, the Ghost Ship reached the depths of the vortex.

In the depths, the current became calm. Luo Yan let out a sigh of relief, saying, “This vortex contains the power of Space-time Reverse Flow. You can’t force your way in, or you might be instantly annihilated by it. Space-time Reverse Flow is an immense power, capable of eradicating divinities.”

Lin Feng said, “You indeed have some skill, actually finding a way to enter the vortex.”

Luo Yan couldn’t help but boast, “Of course, don’t you know who I am? I am the greatest of Ghost Shura Yan.”

Luo Yan was easily carried away by praise.

The moment he’s praised, he becomes elated.

The Ghost Ship sailed further in.

A chilly aura permeated the air.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but look down, where he saw a gigantic sunken ship.

The sunken ship was about forty or fifty meters long, lodged in the sand and mud.

The Ghost Ship landed outside the sunken ship, and Lin Feng disembarked.

Luo Yan also stepped out.

Luo Yan, clad in a black robe, revealed only a pair of ghastly green eyes.

As a Ghost Cultivator, he only had his soul, lacking a physical body, with the Ghost Ship serving as his physical form.

“What do you think of this old ship?” Luo Yan looked at Lin Feng.

“It’s ancient, likely built before the Ancient Era,” Lin Feng said, stroking his chin.

“How do you conclude that?” Luo Yan asked.

“Look at the materials near the dragon bone; aren’t they different from the rest?” Lin Feng said.

“Indeed, they are different!” Luo Yan nodded.

“If I’m not mistaken, that might be Era Divine Wood!” Lin Feng said.

“Era Divine Wood? What is that?” Luo Yan asked, puzzled.

Lin Feng explained, “I’ve read about Era Divine Wood in an ancient text. The Era Divine Tree is one of the oldest Divine Woods, extremely sturdy, and the best material for shipbuilding. Many famous ancient ships, like the Gods’ Warship, Ship of Death, and others, have their most crucial parts forged from Era Divine Wood.”

“I surmise that those ancient ships weren’t entirely made of Era Divine Wood because it was extinct before the Ancient Era, making it impossible to find enough to construct entire ships. But this old ship, using Era Divine Wood for part of it, is already quite a feat, suggesting its origin is remarkably significant.”

“I see…”

Luo Yan nodded, then asked, “Is there a way to enter the old ship?”

This old ship still contained terrifying prohibitions that twisted the void around it, very dangerous. Slight carelessness could result in death without a proper burial, which is why Luo Yan had never dared to explore it in all these years. Anyone unfamiliar with prohibitions entering rashly would perish horribly on this ancient ship.
