NovelEnglishChapter 491: Temple of the Sun (5)
Shen Yanxiao felt it as she fell. She lost her vision for a brief moment due to that glaring light. The sudden descend took her by surprise, but she managed to cast a singular curse on herself in a hurry for a soft landing.
Shen Yanxiao landed on the ground slowly, and her sight recovered gradually.
She gasped in astonishment when eyes feasted on the sight in front of her.
It was no longer the desolated Graveyard of the Sun in front of her. Shen Yanxiao had somehow ended up at a vast palace where its entire ground was paved with pure white dolomite. There were golden murals carved into the white walls that surrounded the palace.
Twelve golden pillars stood in a row by the sides of the hall to support the ceiling. At the end of the room, a throne made of golden stones sat on top of a seven-story white jade staircase that was inlaid with moonstones and simmered with dots of silvery light.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA huge golden sculpture of the sun ran across the wall behind the throne.
One could feel a sense of holiness throughout the palace.
A small, gray flower had grown on the edge of the throne in that empty room.
“The Skeleton Flower!” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes sparkled when she was that gray flower.
She did not expect that the Skeleton Flower she had been searching for had grown in a completely sealed palace!
“Xiu, what is this place?” Shen Yanxiao hurried toward the Skeleton Flower and picked up the precious flower with great care. Shen Yanxiao had many questions as she looked at the solemn but magnificent palace.
“This is the main hall of the Temple of the Sun.” Xiu’s cold voice sounded confused, as well. He had not expected that they would be able to get into the Temple of the Sun, and an intact main hall no less!
“The main hall? Wasn’t the Temple of the Sun destroyed in the battle? But there’s no sight of a fight here.” Shen Yanxiao looked around the palace, but she had failed to detect any entrance or exit in the hall. She could not even find a window, let alone a door. It looked like it was an enclosed space without any access to outside.
“How did we end up here?” She remembered that she was still at the Graveyard of the Sun just moments ago.
Did that light bring them there?
Xiu did not give Shen Yanxiao an immediate answer as he had to ponder the possibilities.
“I sensed the God of the Sun’s aura in that light. However, he was long gone. Legend mentioned that the demons had destroyed the Temple of the Sun, but it seems like that’s where we are now. We must have missed something.” Xiu paused for a moment before he continued.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Perhaps the God of the Sun activated the magical array in the main hall before he perished. You were standing in the main hall of the Temple of the Sun. The light from sunrise is the purest of all. Maybe it triggered the magical array, and then it took you to the real main hall.”
“Wait, if that’s the case, wouldn’t everyone spot the main hall easily? Someone must have found this by now if the magical array is triggered daily.” Somehow, Shen Yanxiao felt that Xiu’s words did not make complete sense.
If the sunlight could trigger the magical array, the demons would have noticed it the day after the infamous battle.
Xiu kept silent for a moment before he had an answer for Shen Yanxiao.
“Other than the sunlight, one more thing is required to trigger the magical array.”
“What is it?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
“Godhood.”
