175: Are the Mayan civilization descendants of the Shang dynasty?

Lu Chen had always been very clear about Heavenly Dao's intentions for Ignis and Morning Dew.

They were both Puppets that Heavenly Dao dreamed of having: the Flame Demon of Hell and the Angel of Judgment.

Sun Feifei's bronze sword pierced the ground in front of her, and the six-line copper coins hanging from the hilt began to vibrate and rattle crazily.

"Hey, look, there's something in the Zhen position!"

Before she could finish speaking, the entire crystal cave suddenly flipped over, transforming into an inverted pyramid structure.

Seven hundred crystal coffins were suspended from the dome, and each one imprisoned a mummified Mayan priest wrapped in yin-shang dynasty jade bi.

At this moment, Morning Dew's Holy Light was projected in through the space barrier teleportation array. The moment those mummies touched the Holy Light, they simultaneously opened their blood-red pupils, which were engraved with the oracle bone script character for "Sacrifice."

"Little Skeleton, be careful, they are definitely undead evil spirits." Morning Dew's voice rang in their ears.

"By Set!" Shelley's voice also came through. "These are corpses with mixed civilization characteristics, very much like the products of civilization grafting experiments the Dean mentioned. Heavenly Dao loves playing with things like this, using everything to create his Puppets."

Lu Chen plunged his tianwen sword into the ground. "I'd like to see what's different! Break for me!"

The pressure of the Undead Monarch immediately surged like a tide, pouring out crazily in all directions, causing these crystal coffins to explode collectively—shattering into pieces!

Amidst the flying mummy fragments, he pulled out a bronze chain wrapped in Mayan emeralds, with half a Shang-Zhou bronze battle-axe engraved with the inscription "Human Sacrifice" attached to the end of the chain links.

Just as Ignis was about to touch the battle-axe, the blade suddenly erupted with true solar fire that burned the Flame Demon! "Ah, it hurts!" Ignis cried out in pain.

Sun Feifei immediately took a Seven-Star Step, tracing the trajectory of the twenty-eight mansions on the ground, and three hundred purple talismans flew out from her Taoist robe sleeves, borrowing the power of the universe!

She bit the tip of her tongue and sprayed a mist of blood. "Taoist Immortal Art—Suppress Li Fire!"

That piece of Lu Chen's bone left his body again, transforming into the Heaven-Measuring Ruler. The Nine Nether Ghost Fire wrapped around the ruler collided with the true solar fire, creating a Chaos vortex.

Ignis took the opportunity to snap the bronze chain, and her lava wings evolved into the Phoenix form amidst the high temperature.

Shelley's voice came through, warning them carefully: "The bronze battle-axe is the key to opening the Feathered Serpent God's altar! Be extremely careful."

The entire inverted pyramid began to collapse, and the crystal shards transformed into thousands of Feathered Serpent phantoms as they fell.

Sun Feifei's Bagua Formation was eroded by Talismanic Incantations formed from the Mayan calendar, creating cracks. Her hair was disheveled as she leaned against Lu Chen's bones, panting!

"Little Skeleton, I have no strength left. The Dui-Ze position should be the gate of life!"

"Hold on tight." Lu Chen suddenly wrapped his arms around the waists of the two girls, and the Nine Nether White Bone Flag whipped up a nether storm, crashing toward the stone wall in the Dui position.

The moment they passed through the barrier, the three of them saw the emerald Feathered Serpent statue in the center of the altar—the snake's pupils were actually two Western Zhou jade bi engraved with the same hexagrams as the book of easy change from lian shan!

The Mayan civilization really did have an inextricable connection with China.

Ignis's lava blood suddenly boiled, and she uncontrollably knelt before the altar. The controlling intent that Heavenly Dao had planted in her Bloodline was acting up again.

Pitch-black River Styx water seeped from the cracks in Lu Chen's bone armor. Under Sun Feifei's astonished gaze, he actually injected the Undead Monarch's Origin Soul Fire into the Flame Demon Girl's heart. "Bear with it, I'm going to transfer the curse to myself... You helped me hinder the crystallization, now it's time for me to help you."

Ignis gradually improved. She stabilized her mind. "Are you better?" Lu Chen asked with concern. "Yes, I'm better, Little Skeleton." Ignis stood up. A sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The three of them continued on. Blood-colored patterns lit up step by step on the emerald altar under their feet. Just as Sun Feifei's cloth shoes stepped onto the third step, oracle bone script characters appeared on the stone slab again.

Lu Chen's finger bones suddenly clamped onto her wrist and said: "It's our ancient Chinese Formation. It looks like every step must correspond to the hexagrams of the 'Book of Gui Cang', and if you step incorrectly, it will trigger some mechanisms."

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the characters here. They were indeed ancient Chinese characters—oracle bone script.

Ignis's lava cloak was forced down to a thin halo of light by the altar's pressure, and she irritably ripped open the leather buckle of her waist, "This damn place keeps messing with my mind! It's so annoying!"

Before she could finish speaking, the emerald pupils of the Feathered Serpent statue suddenly shot out two beams of light wrapped in green brilliance. Sun Feifei couldn't dodge in time, and the sleeve of her Taoist robe was instantly scorched through, but fortunately, she wasn't injured.

On her exposed forearm, the same book of easy change from lian shan hexagram pattern as the jade bi appeared. This was an ancient hexagram pattern that every member of her Sun Family lineage possessed. It represented recognition by the lost ancient Chinese Immortal Arts. It meant she could Cultivate ancient Immortal Arts and become an Eastern Xuan cultivator!

The dark green light refracted by the crystal dome flowed across the surface of the altar, like liquid emeralds overflowing the bronze sacrificial vessels engraved with cuneiform script.

The scent of humus mixed with the dampness of the underground river, condensing into fine water droplets on the tip of Sun Feifei's nose.

The tassels hanging from her Taoist hairpin moved without wind, sensing the energy fluctuations coming from the bottom of the altar—it was a strange resonance between the Yin-Shang shamanic prayer texts and the Mayan solar calendar.

Sun Feifei rubbed the burning hexagram pattern on her arm with her fingertips, and a rare ripple rose in the depths of her heart; her Dao Heart was still affected to some extent.

The 'Book of Gui Cang' she had studied since childhood could resonate with this "exotic" civilization here; this realization made her knuckles turn white as she gripped her Dharma sword. Being unknown yet familiar was quite terrifying.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Lu Chen drawing a protective Formation with the River Styx water seeping from the cracks in his bone armor. The trajectory of his stark white finger bones across the stone slab was seventy percent similar to the "Yu Steps" taught by Master. Lu Chen was indeed a person from one hundred thousand years ago. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of destroying Heaven.

Seemingly sensing the girl's gaze, Lu Chen glanced at her. "Little girl, don't get distracted."

As he spoke, Lu Chen inserted half of his finger bone into the center of the altar, and the Undead Fire spread along the gullies of the oracle bone script. Lu Chen stood up and clapped his hands. "Alright, Kan hexagram to Li position, use your six-line copper coins to suppress the Zhen Palace."

After speaking, Lu Chen nodded to Ignis. Ignis received the order. She forced her lava wings to break through the pressure constraints of this place.

The moment she leaped toward the Feathered Serpent statue, bronze pillars wrapped in crystal skulls rose from the four corners of the altar, and the oracle bone script character for "Sacrifice" on the pillars suddenly seeped scarlet liquid.

"Playing god!" The Flame Demon Girl condensed a Purgatory Fireball in her palm. "Break for me!"

The surrounding environment suddenly changed. The instant the fireball struck the bronze pillar, the entire pyramid suddenly inverted.

The underground river flowed backward to form a crystal dome, and seven hundred Mayan warrior skeletons floated up from the reverse-flowing river water. The bronze daggers they held were actually engraved with the Western Zhou bronze script character for "Attack."

The humus layer cracked open with three hundred fissures, and what surged out were not tree roots, but Yin-Shang bronze chains wrapped in emerald beads. The Maya were really descendants of the yin-shang dynasty!
