Chapter 2216 The Offering Hall

Lady Kangʼs words echoed within the ears of all present, and they couldnʼt help but think that she was right.

Even though it was said half as a joke, it was still quite close to the truth.

Lin Mu who heard it couldnʼt help but thinking about it either.

ʼMe close to the Dao of Scholars?ʼ He thought to himself.

He had never thought about pursuing the Dao of Scholars before in his life, and the only reason he had even learned all the things was due to his innate desire for knowledge. Other than that he never yearned to obtain that Dao.

”Iʼve never intended to pursue it.” Lin Mu said after a bit.

”That is probably why you are closer to it compared to us all.” Ziran stated.

”Those who seek may not find, those who yearn may not obtain, but those who strive for excellence may gain all.” Monk Hushu uttered an idiom.

It gave Lin Mu a lot more to think over for later, and he decided to continue on their task at hand.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he turned towards the entrance and took a step. The others followed, knowing it was time to check out just what this place held.

”Huh, this place is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.” Daoist Chu said as he glanced around.

The group had entered and passed through a small passage before arriving at the front hall. There were multiple pillars holding it up, and the hall was perfectly square in shape.

”Thereʼs something on the walls too.” Qiao De said, spotting it through the dim light.

There were no lights inside the Offering Hall itself, so it was a bit hard to see if they didnʼt use their immortal sense.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

In response, Daoist Chu created a few light sources which were in the form of brightly glowing talismans. The talismans floated in the air and filled the hall at equal distances, perfectly illuminating everything.

This allowed the group to see the true size of the hall, that was at least forty meters tall and had murals on the ceiling too!

”Thatʼs a lot of murals…” Lin Mu muttered as he gazed at the walls and the ceiling.

Both were covered with murals that depicted various beings such as Demons, humans, and the Chimeric beasts.

”Looks like this is the recorded history.” Lady Kang said, scanning each mural carefully.

”Oh, they have some things written here too.” Lin Mu noticed that at the bottom of each mural there were tiny characters carved. They were no bigger than a couple millimeters and reading them needed Immortal sense.

If one looked at it with naked eyes, they would think that it was just some pattern that had been carved at the bottom to accompany the murals.

”It does seem to be the Shamanic Script of the Demonic Tribes.” Lin Mu said after scanning them.

”It is.” Ziran confirmed. ”Theyʼre indeed the records of the Demonic Tribes.” He added.

”Can you read them for us?” Crown prince Feng Shun requested.

”Of course.” Ziran said and started from the very first mural on the left.

The first mural was that of only demons, and they were surrounding a large mountain.

”We the Sacred Tear Tribe, have lived in our lands for hundreds of thousands of years in peace. We found this land after a million years of sacrifice and ended up here by a miracle. We started from a humble thousand individuals before we grew out tribe to that of a million.” Ziran read.

”So they were named as the Sacred Tear tribe… have you heard of them Ziran?” Lin Mu asked.

”No… Iʼve never heard of them.” Ziran shook his head.

”How about their appearance? Do they seem familiar to you?” The Crown Princess asked next.

”They seem to be a mixed tribe, for the most part.” Ziran said, observing the murals. ”They donʼt have a unique trait to their appearance, so they are definitely not a pure blood demonic tribe. Theyʼre a mix of multiple demon subtypes.” He explained.

”Are such Demon Tribes common?” Qiao De asked.

”Considering the time back then, it would certainly not be as common. Back then, it was important for demonic tribes to maintain their purity as it was tied to their cultivation methods. The cultivation method of one tribe often didnʼt work for another tribe.

Thus, it was quite rare for there to be mixed demons, not to mention an entire tribe of them.” Ziran answered. ”Such a tribe would not be formed intentionally and is likely a product of something else,” He added.

”I see… There should be more information in the rest of the murals, perhaps.” Lady Kang suggested.

”Yeah.” Ziran nodded.

”Hmm… is that mountain the main site for the Sacred Tear Tribe?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Itʼs hard to tell. It doesnʼt explicitly mention it here at least,” Ziran answered. ”Why? Did you see something like it?” he asked.

”When we were arriving in the Spatial Plane, I saw a few very large mountains. I wonder if it could be one of those.” Lin Mu replied.

”It is possible… Were they far?” Ziran inquired.

”Very far from where we landed, for sure. If I were to estimate, it should be at least half a continent away.” Lin Mu replied after thinking for a bit.

”That far?” Crown Prince Feng Shun raised his brows. ”Thatʼll be tens of thousands of kilometers.”

”Weʼll think about that later once we have more information. For now, it is important we learn what happened here.” Monk Hushu stated.

Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded and Ziran began reading the second mural.

This mural depicted demons, but they were situated in a village this time around. But there were also a few vague figures at the very corner of the mural.

”We established our presence and took a foothold in this land. But it wasnʼt just us that was present here.” Ziran read the second mural.
